My son got kicked out of his history class for stating these facts - it wasn't until I went in and educated his history "teacher" about what it was really about and threatened legal action with the Principal before he got a formal apology in front of the class. His classmates were shocked but at least they actually got taught facts instead of his "teachers" liberal agenda.
I’m from Mexico and we were taught the true history of slavery in school. When I finally immigrated to the USA, I was genuinely shocked at the amount of incorrect/omitted information (and outright lies) being taught to the general public about their own country, within their own country. It is terrifying how successful they’ve been at keeping most people ignorant to this and at rewriting history for nefarious purposes… To the point that you will be attacked (sometimes physically), simply for trying to discuss the *full* reality of historic (and current) slavery.
Ehhh, when you refer to a country of 330 million individual citizens as "they", you are just as complicit in the continuation of misinformation as "they" are... Try again... P.S. Slavery is mentioned numerous times in Bible. Are you trying to tell me that in a nation of so many Christians, no one noticed this error while in school?? Not bragging, just saying, I certainly did...
Our cold war rivals, the communists, infiltrated our schools and used subversive curriculum to turn America's youth against their own country. The communists even managed to gain control of the democrat party, which is why they peddle division, every chance they get. It's all about destabilizing and eventually collapsing the USA so they can rebuild it into a communist state. That's what Biden's slogan "Build Back Better" is really about. He'll build America back AFTER he's done destroying it.
I’m one of those kids that was attacked for trying to impart truth to people around me. I was a white kid from an urban area in the 1980s. I was occasionally physically assaulted but regularly verbally accosted for simply trying to educate folks. It really hurts your soul to be one of three white kids in the entire school and be blamed for doing something so horrible like this simply due to purposeful ignorance.
I think it's very clear what is happening this tale of the Americans fighting to stop slavery and the English saying they stop slavery, begs the questions, when did the major European powers divided up Africa among themselves as this wasn't the way it was when they were purchasing. And also the crime goes beyond the selling the bigger crime is what happened after... the purchase. All so I see how shocked people are when we say are brothers sold us, but who is guilty, if a gun is purchase and someone is killed with that same gun who is guilty. No one looks for the seller or the gunsmith who made it just the shoot who used it......
The more we fight amongst ourselves, the less we're focused on the people pulling the strings...almost as if it's done deliberately. Glad to see more and more people breaking free of the false narratives we have been fed for so long.
I agree and I also think it's deliberate. They are throwing chaos at us, keeping us occupied, while they're setting the wheels in motion, to implement the plan to rule the whole world from the WEF. They have recently met and agreed to speed up the agenda. They've obviously seen that people are starting to get wise to their new world order plan and they're beginning to revolt against it. The brave French have been protesting and rioting for weeks and at least another five countries, have the same thing going on. Africa was protesting against Bill Gates. It's all being kept from us by MSM.
Have you noticed the insanity since 2020, its all a distraction to keep the ignorant oblivious to the greatest wealth transfere in history, and people wanna fight about stupid sht like race and sexual identity. All by design.
No one really believes black people in America were the only slaves. But people in America are perfectly right in thinking slavery in America was racially driven.
It not that does système or good or wrong. It the human heart that brings chaos to does system. Look a capitalism. You have to vote for a parti that don't have all the values that characterize you. Ont what you believe. For example. If am against abortion and no one have that on theirs electoral promise. Where my freedom?
“Racism is not dead, but it is on life support - kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists’” - Thomas Sowell
Tell that to Hispanics we feel it every day with strangers in our home where Europeans couldn’t stay in there home you’ll see it more when we brown America again then will see it it’s just kept alive with political people or is it just used to keep Europeans alive from other cultures in America?
This is being done in US schools on purpose. Growing up I had friends of all ethnicities until they started teaching the manipulated history of slavery. The amount of animosity that was planted during that time was astounding. People I had been friends with since kindergarten just stopped talking to me and others of my race. It's division on purpose. Divide and conquer.
It's pretty simple once you see what's actually going on. They want, and Need Us to hate and fight each other because they want to use all the conflict to distract us from what they are doing to ALL of us. We all need to realize who the REAL enemy is and remember that there is only ONE race, and that's the HUMAN race. The same God created you, and me too.... and he would never create any of us to be inferior to others. He also commanded us to LOVE each other.... We need to start doing that again!
@@cj_hayes_tha_artist8331 morality can't be taught. They tell people lies in school to separate zombies from thinkers. You passed. 😀 But nobody in the game knows gods plan while theyre in it.
I’m a Nigerian and I was taught this history in school and by my Dad. Since childhood, I have been aware of the role Africans played in the Slave trade.
@@peterrumspringa9757 We believe it because it's what is taught in school as "The Truth". There are precious few institutions in this country that teach anything that resembles the truth about slavery. That type of education ended a long time ago. Now it's mostly ideology that is taught.
Then please speak up bc there are channels on here that are saying that Africa has no knowledge of it at all. That it never happened. Please tell them the truth! Our Country is being torn apart by the lies.
I didn’t know all of this about the African or Arab or European people. Some of it. But not all of it. I do know that we are all the same Race and hating people because they look different is ignorant at best. At worst it’s Evil.
As you study more closely you'll find out what the slavery from Africa never happened you were always here you are the natives you are the Aztecs you are a Mayans
I have share these facts with my kids every year, and my students are ALWAYS shocked because until then they were under the impression that not only that blacks were the only slaves but that the Atlantic slave trade was the only time slavery has taken place in history. I’m hoping I’m making a difference in making sure more people know all of our history
@thehuntress8850 agreed. People still use terms like "indentured servant" to describe the enslavement of some people. What they don't (or refuse to) understand is that "indentured servitude" was still slavery. It's was just more acceptable to call your slaves "indentured servants" and pretend they could work their way out of slavery
As soon as we, as a people, black and white, Hispanic and Asian, start talking to each other and stop listening to the lies we will stand up as one and put a stop to this.
You cannot stop what those that need to stop do not know. The only way to rectify this situation is to have groups of well trained and well-educated groups go into each and every school, and teach the truth on slavery. If they get any pushback from teachers in the form of saying what they are saying is a falsehood, then those individuals should turn to the children and tell them this. Those that don't want you to know the truth, want to enslave you by today's standards, which is mental slavery. Do not fall for, or listen to those that speak against what we teach you, because if you do, you will end up enslaved like all the others that passed through his/her door. I guarantee this shuts that teacher up instantly
I have known this for decades, but whenever I tried to educate others about this, I would be rejected. When telling black people about this, I was met with anger and called racist because I look white. When I tried to tell people that even whites were slaves I would be called ignorant. Really? More people need to see this and understand we have been lied to sooooo much about true history. Thank you for putting this out there❤
Am mixed. I've been studying for a black slavery when I was into rastafri. Back in the late 70s. As I dig deeper. Looking other history of slavery from other countries. I was shocked to see the arabs involved. My anger with the white man history. Went down. People didn't believe me. Especially the black community. Back then. Am one of them neards. That have look up every possible fact within that culture. I know Britain did a lot to stop slavery. 😊
i was taught in usa public schools and i knew that slavery existed since before the roman empire!? maybe it was because our school was 90 percent white?! maybe because our teachers were good? i think part of the problem is that the teachers are just left up to their own discretion(in most cases) to teach whatever they think is necessary for their students(sure there is some broad testing but it's only for math and reading so...) but while this might be a great idea for a "good" teacher(letting them pick what to teach kids), a teacher who isn't so great or a teacher who wants to promote a certain narrative or a teacher who doesn't know any better(they've been propagandized themselves or perhaps when learning something new, they only hear or learn what they want to hear, which it seems for a certain personality type can be just about the best one can hope for?!) either way(whichever way the teacher has come across the propaganda or the bad info) it's just up to them to teach "whatever"...teaching "whatever" can be great if it's being done by a good teacher but if it's being done by a teacher who is already misinformed(purposely or not) this is where the trouble lies in! my best guess on how to solve this problem is to mandate certain aspects/ideas/history/etc be taught but to also leave some room for the teachers to be able to have some of their own discretion...but then we'd have the problem of who gets to decide what the mandatory lessons are then?! and i've not heard any great idea(s) about how to decide what is "the truth" and what isn't so far...other than "science" and "everyone knows their own truth"...certainly there has to be some way that we come to know the truth about whether or not say..."the earth is flat"!!! for some people their "truth" is that the "earth is flat" and for the rest of us the idea seems worse than absurd....but certainly we cannot just dismiss the group that's incorrect but there sure isn't lots of "science" or "evidence" on "how to change a human's mind so they know the real actual truth about the physical world" that currently exists...so this is a tough topic to be able to solve...
@@dirmusloner7963 yes, you Greeks had slaves. We scandinavians also had slaves during the viking era 1200-900 years ago. The Romans, the Arabs, many African cultures etc etc.. It has been quite widespread throughout human history.
@shyviking let me correct you , in the ancient Greek what you called slave was an employee that was paid for services first of all. What nowadays called as slavery it was common in Roman empire as you referred to. It was also common in PERSIAN AND BABYLONIAN empires too.
Thomas Sowell is one of the top five scholars of any race in the U.S., as I see it. He got his undergraduate degree from Harvard, his Master's degree in economics from Columbia, and his Ph.d. from the University of Chicago. He has written over 30 books, including 1. "Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy" 2. "Race and Culture: A World View" 3. "Intellectuals and Society" 4. "Knowledge and Decisions" 5. "A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles" 6. "The Housing Boom and Bust" 7. "Dismantling America: and Other Controversial Essays" 8. "Economic Facts and Fallacies" 9. "The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy" 10. "Black Rednecks and White Liberals."
I think it became racist when they were brought to america, the way they were treated, whipped, lynched, raped. Blacks continued to be treated bad all the way up to 1970. And still today theres racism going on.
I'm a white woman whose ancestors lived in poverty. My maternal grandfather was sent to an orphanage when his mother died because his father, as the story goes, wasn't able to care for all 8 children. He was made an indentured servant of a family in Savannah, Georgia, and had to work for them for several years in order to earn his freedom. It wasn't about race. It was about being poor, powerless, and vulnerable.
In 1808 manumission in the southern states was banned for Black enslaved people. So buying themselves out of slavery was banned. So it absolutely was about race.
My grandmother, who is in her 70’s, had to leave school as a child, with her 7 siblings, to pick cotton. No one wants to hear that though. They want yo focus on things hundreds of years ago.
Wanting to know the truth should never be offensive or stopped. If you are being stopped for speaking or searching for truths, something is wrong and it should confirm that you are on the right path
The reason that the truth is no longer taught was summed up by George Orwell in his novel "1984", written in 1949: "Who controls the past controls the future", or as American Vision puts it: "Whoever controls the schools controls the future."
A lot of American Africans became Muslims. My impression is, that the Muslims tell them lies about slavery. They don't tell them, that the most "sucessfull" slave traders were and are Arabic people since human being exist. If you know the Bible, the Midianites took Josef as slave to Egypt and sold him. Most of the Africans condemn the Whites but never touch the Arabic Muslims because many countries in Africa are Islamic countries or have a big islamic population. It's easier to attack the West.
George orwell was the first one to not teach the truth and lie about the past to control the future. That's what he put into practice. One of the biggest false propagandist in history.
Thomas Sowell is a very distinguished black professor, author, and economist. He was born in the 1930's and grew up in Harlem, eventually graduating from Ivy League universities. He is a true hero.
Absolutely 💯 agree....she still didn't listen to the fact that in east Africa Arabs enslaved Africans century's before Europeans and controlled an area the size of Europe in Africa enslaving more then 2 million black Africans...I just don't understand how ppl don't know this ...and that the Dems and liberals of the south voted nay on the 13th amendment I believe Dems controlled the Congress but slimly....that's y Lincoln needed only 12 Dems to pass the bill to Senate wich the Republicans controlled.....get these 20 year olds to watch Lincoln it's pretty accurate
One of my favorite quotes from Thomas Sowell was about going to Harvard. He got his bachelor’s degree from Harvard and said the best thing about getting it from Harvard was that he was no longer impressed by someone having a Harvard degree!
I was taught this in school, but when I taught this to my son, he got in trouble at school and I had to take books and document to the school board and fight them.
Thank you for doing that. If more parents did this, it would stop. VOTE LOCAL FOLKS. SCHOOL BOARDS ARE VERY POWERFUL. GET THOSE THAT WANT TO DO HARM, OUT!
@@4lb280 Amen to that! Phyllis Schlafly preached that message all her life until she died. Moral people, parents who care should fill these local school boards throughout the nation. Look at the evil abuse of little children's bodies & minds, without parental consent or even knowledge. Horrendous!
Most people in America are not racist, America values Smart Hardworking people that are Socially Reasonable, we don't care where you came from as long as you came here legally, and obey the law, most Americans will go out of their way to help someone new to this country as long as they are sincere.
@user-hc5of8xk3r I pity, and question, the blind who go out of their way to tell you they don't see color when obviously it's obvious. Seems racist to me.
There is a reason, they are not teaching proper history in schools. It's to divide, I'm glad you saw this and saw what actually happened. Please spread the word
@@natalieburnham3300 Exactly. Glad I'm not the only one that can see it. Diversion, division and deceit is what our governments are up to. All to gain power and make themselves wealthier.
Dan Honz The real reason that this slavery occurred is because Sub Saharans needed a way to get in on these new lands and would have done any trick and used any means to get here. That they will never tell nor admit to. The original plan of the Europeans was to hire people from India but were Conn-vinced instead to do otherwise with the lure of a one time pay.
Thomas Sowell is a living legend. 92 years of studying, wisdom and experience. The media and government resist and bury him because the truth doesn’t fit their purpose.
My grandfather (Finnish) in Finland was sold as an indentured servant when he was 3yrs old because his mother couldn’t afford him. He ran away from his owners at the age of 16 and joined the military there. He was in WWII. He later got married, had my uncle and my father, and was an amazing general contractor. He was a hard worker. I’m grateful for my history.
I was taught this in school, but when I came to Canada and tried to bring this up when I was in grade 7... was taken to the office and my parents were called to the school. My parents were just as confused, thinking it was common knowledge.
@@samoday2992 Go talk to parents Sam as covid showed them the lies being taught in the schools as history. Closing your eyes and ears does not erase history Sam just makes it easier for those attempting to do just that. in just 100 years Sam no-one alive will know real history but will believe what they are taught at school is real history. Look at the young adults of today as the perfect example of 2 generations brought up via the education system to believe lies are truth. I excelled in history and continued to read and search for truths for the last 55 years Sam and I could set a test that almost all those born and educated after 1980 would have trouble in passing regards history. And I still have the books that prove history taught today is full of political agendas and falsehoods. Unless you were born after 1980 you must have gone to different history lessons than I and my generation did.
Perhaps you should tell your students that colour is not a barrier now and the only difference between white and black is the persons attituded. History is important and we should remember, But colour does not make a person better than another, and in this modern age that should be taught. Teaching Hate of what was and has been should have no place in our society or schools. We should move on to make it better for our children. Look at Germany. Japan. If we held them in contempt for past regressions.... ... how would we develope.
Thomas Sowell is 93 years old and is only now getting the audience and attention he deserved. Amazingly courageous American scholar whose work has been suppressed by media and status quo academics. Brilliant video. Thank you for helping thousands of people learn his name and work. Thank you!
@@IratePuffin I didn’t realize he was still alive. I got a Bachelors in History with a minor in Secondary Education, and I knew about Sowell for a while but thought he was long passed. I was supposed to be a high school history or social studies teacher but didn’t choose the public school route because I would have probably taught truths like Sowell and would have either been fired or thrown in jail very quickly.
My father's Scots-Irish people were brought to America in chains as 'involuntary indentured servants' in the early 1600's. Some of them escaped over the Appalachians and wound up in the Cherokee, Coosa and other tribes in the area, initially as slaves but later as members. When Andrew Jackson sent most of these tribes to the Oklahoma territory, locals claimed that my family members were actually Basques from Spain, not part Indian or Black.
The Basque were some of the first people on these lands. The Basque fought for their sovereignty. They guarded the north of Spain in exchange for it. Their mountains were their territory and nobody could get through them to take them over, although they tried.
The word ‘slave’ itself, was coined after the word ‘Slavic’. Slavic people were mostly Caucasian. Also, the Democratic Party fought to keep slavery, formed and funded the KKK, wrote and passed the Jim Crow laws, and fought against Martin Luther King Jr. Thomas Sowell is one of my favorite scholar. Subbed
I said that too and the left said the Democratic part of that time was actually the republican party. They just want the division. If the races came together or govt would be A F R A I D of us!!!
I was a history minor in college, I've spoken about all of this to friends and family and they blew it off as a conspiracy theory. Thomas Sowell has always spoken the truth about history and politics, he's a great man and more people should listen him.
It's interesting that your education system is the way it is; I've known about this since I was about 12, taught by my school (UK). Lately we keep hearing here about "reparations" and its nonsense, my family has no money and had no money or any involvement with slaves for as far back as we can research. We were fishermen with no money whatsoever, even as recently as 70 years ago my family didn't even have a house, they lived in an old bus!!
@Dale, please don’t feel like you have to explain. BP play the victim role bc they can’t function in civilized society. Only some of us, BW, are ok. We are victims and are taken out by bm every 4.5 hours! And to this day, Africans and Arabs, still enslave 11 to 13 million!
@@HonestBottom my family came to the US from England in 1622 they eventually owned slaves, I have even met descendants of those slaves with which I share a name. We call each other Cousins!
@@hekpacobctac616 Yes but as all people in power he did for power. UK was ahead of the world in industrialization and that advantage would be far more powerful is slavery ended worldwide. Fact is, almost no one really cared for races or color, they only cared for the power and money.
I'm 60 and we were taught this in school. I still thank the history teacher I had. He was very good about teaching both the good and the bad in our history. He taught us a lot of "black history" that people do not get taught today. He also taught us about the educated, inventors and activists who came from the black communities. I really wish this type of un-biast teaching was happening today. (He was an old white man....We need more like him)
My family is Irish, Scottish, Arabic. My ancestors were slaves brought to America. They just used a nicer term "Indentured Servant". A debt that they could never pay off, living in squalor....My grandmother used to tell me how they couldn't get jobs because they were Irish. I just want to say thank you for your open mind. What we need is our Lord's love...
Your ancestors weren't slaves brought to America and they chose to come to America. 40% of the Irish indentured servants were criminals and Black Americans have irish last names because Irish earned slaves, land and money after being indentured servants. Why do you people lie so much?
My ancestors were German - rather Prussian - indentured servants - the contract to pay passage across the Atlantic to Philadelphia on a Dutch ship named Phoenix in 1753. The 13 year old daughter died on the trip. When they died years later, their net worth was about the price of the journey across the Atlantic. The records and estate settlement papers survived. They migrated into Ohio, then Kentucky where they died. It was a difficult life
Your ancestors made a free choice to enter into a contract for passage to the Colonies (US ) They were not forced into it. What is surprising is that most IndServ, worked for the family as domesticated house servants until the debt was paid off. There were those that were victims of Companies or corporations that were basically the first human traffickers entrapping the workers in corporate debt schemes they could never pay off. And yes, back then, quality of life compared to today was hard and difficult. But look at you, your ancestral line led you here did it not? Otherwise you would be back in Ireland or Europe main land somewhere. ***Edit*** The way my response was written leads to the belief that all indentured servants were voluntary. This was not the case as some individuals were prisoners of war, criminals or other status that a forced Indentured Service was offered to them (or death). Some of these circumstances led to the entire family being rounded up and forced into an Indentured Service status.
Slavery is not about racism. It's about POWER. More powerful tribes had weaker tribes as slaves, regardless of race. With a little critical thinking, this is intuitive, common sense. This happened all over the world. The US, UK, and France were the first 3 countries worldwide to abolish slavery. The US did not invent slavery, so we need to be proud of our leading, evolving history rather than vilifying ourselves. Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest economists of the last 100 years.
@@georgevaldez1449The first Nation to abolish slavery was Haiti in 1804…where did you got this info about the Nordics? It was a “local” ruling as the French did? I.e. in “metropolitan” France slavery was forbidden from 1315 by King Louis X ! But perfectly legal in the Colonies. Then it was Robespierre during french revolution that made one of the first laws for a general abolishing of the slavery in French Territories, Colonies included. It was the 1794. But it lasted just one legislature as the poor Robespierre himself!
I'm 48 years old. They taught us this when i was in school. They quit teaching children real history (in the US) around the late 80s, from what i understand. By now, public school systems are a joke. There is so much cognitive dissonance. So much! Thomas Sowell is a brilliant man. I wish that more people would read his books or listen to his interviews.
As someone who was taught this topic in the early 90's-ish, ya, this new age, one sided, perspective was the one my generation was taught. Slowly I've been learning history and how much of what I learned was skewed.
@@TheTaysoren history tends to repeat itself. I feel like we are in something similar to the fall of Rome. The rich got richer, the poor got poorer. Leadership was weak, the military became weak. People were divided. And then the stronger people came in and took over while destroying civilization. History was erased. The largest library in the world burned to the ground. A lot of knowledge was lost. That's what people in charge of this world want. They want a "reset". They've literally told us this. My point is, study the fall of Rome. It's enlightening
@@yolandatorres4370 I was also taught this. I am of Irish descent. The Irish were the first slaves in America. I’m going to see if we still have a history book from when my husband and I were in school.
I'm a 65 year old white lady and we were taught this in middle school. I thought everyone was aware of it. If nothing else you can read the old testament, there is several mentions of slavery and individual slaves. That's how old it is including mentioning about different races.
At some point, it became "offensive" to include this information. I had a black history teacher that included this in the curriculum, even though it wasn't in the book. When the subject has come up in work, or social situations, I have been attacked, and called a liar by whites and blacks. I always tell them, to just do some research. This information is available. Of course, then you hear the "white lies" defense. I did a report in cultural anthropology on the different tribes that participated in the acquisition of slaves for sale. I wish that I could remember the names of the tribes, but one tribe that was kidnapping their neighbors for slavery, was eventually attacked by their victims and sold into slavery themselves as retribution.
I'm 58 yrs old and I knew the information presented in the video but I don't remember where I learned it from. I came from a family that were very outdoorsy but on a rainy or snowy day with nothing to do. I would just pick up one of the many encyclopedia's of our bookshelf and browse the pages of history. I was always taught that you could travel anywhere you wanted to as long as you could read...and oh, the places that I went, the things , I saw and the people I met! That's probably where.
True though in the OT slavery is a bit different bc ppl sold themselves to pay off debts they had accumulated. In some cases ppl sold themselves and their families bc they no longer could afford to feed themselves (ex: Joseph's brothers). A fewer amount as a sentence for committing crime that would eventually be up. So it seems more like indentured servitude than American slavery.
yup my cousin came from ireland to volunteer as union solider but he actually came to free family members and any irish he could free and return to ireland after his service to union army.
@@chrisperkins2628 I am not disputing the horrible mistreatment of the African slaves, the uphill battle that happened to end slavery nor the racism that has persisted after - even til today, but you cant devalue other slavery. Slavery is awful no matter what...and so you will know in the future...The Irish were unwillingly under British rule for over 700 years, where they were used as a testing ground for systems that England would use on others they made into colonies (including America). When Britain 'conquered' Ireland, they took the land from them and made them work it as slaves. There was no 'debt to work off'. It was slavery like any other. Some got an opportunity to get 'out' when England 'won' North America, but the indentured servitude you speak of started around that time and was a slow process. They didn't receive independence until 250 yrs later, which only came to resolution 100 years following that (you know...the IRA and a civil war in their fight for complete freedom). It was not a walk in the park and the remnants of it persists today. Arguing over which slavery was worse is just mind boggling to me...Taking people's basic right to freedom away in any form whatsoever is inhuman.
@@chrisperkins2628 Europeans were slaves in the Ottoman Barbary slave trade… and from 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. The Irish were sold into slavery in Jamaica , the colonies and other places by the English. When African slaves came later on to North America they were expensive, the Irish were cheap. All slaves were treated poorly but the Irish, bc there were cheap were expendable were often killed. This meant they also mated Irish and black slaves ….the “ indentured servant” were nothing but slave labour. Some were worked to death, a few earned their freedom but their children were considered property still so they stayed to work. This was just another name for slavery and did not mean their lives were easier. The Irish couldn’t just go home as they weren’t wanted in England… that’s why they were sold in the first place… The Irish were also discriminated against… signs of No Dogs and No Irish were popular later on. The Irish also fought for independence in the US and helped build the country. You also don’t mention the Africans that sold off others to the Americas and other places…Nor the many black slave owners in the US… or that the Ottomans had many more African slaves than the US. Slavery is horrible and is still happening in places like Africa. It involved all ppl in the world at times. Including “white” ppl. Unfortunately Africans are not unique to slavery.
I'm so glad this young woman was willing to hear and I hurt for her that she has to come to terms with how much she's been lied to by people she thought she could trust. Our schools, at all levels have been taken over by a political class that seeks to destroy our glorious nation. Pray, vote and seek truth.
If you read the Bible you would learn that over 4,000 years ago the Hebrew Nation, now known as the Israeli people, were enslaved by the Egyptians for centuries. They were millions of Hebrew Slaves before they were freed by divine intervention. It was again through God's Word that the movement in Europe & America that inspired the Abolishionis movement to free all slaves. Slavery continues today in nation's who have outlawed the Bible & do not Govern with Biblical principles like, all people were created equal. If you've never heard this before, do your own research. Read the Bible. It's all in there.
We’re ALL coming to terms with this information becuz we’ve all been lied to abt it. The education system is culpable as is everyone else who had anything to do with propagating this hatred
Some years after King William took power (1066AD), he decreed that any enslaved person who set foot on British shores would be freed, and the owner fined £10. Good point in one reply, in my haste should have said "within the bounds of his Kingdom" rather than British shores. The Scots had their own Kingdom for a while, and although the Welsh were not described as slaves, they were oppressed and subjected to punishment unless they adopted the "English Tongue" - but hey, they were free! - until the Coal Barons arrived. Before William the slave masters were invaders, mostly from the North (Vikings) and the East (Romans). According to "Ancestry", I'm 86% Welsh and 14% "Northern European - not quite pure British, but more so than most of my "English" friends, albeit in an oppressed way.
British soil means English soil. Britain was a kingdom like Scottland and Wales before it was conquered by the English. The British isles are wrongly named because the brits were also the only people who were conquered by and worked with the Roman's, who named it the British isles. Britain is/was actually only what is considered England. Calling it Great Britain is also a re-writing of history
@@parithian8462 nope. Britannia was not a kingdom like scottland and wales before the anglosaxons came. It was the province of Britannia, attacked by the kingdoms of Dal Riata and Fortiu, the gaelic and the pictish kingdoms which later in the viking age formed together the kingdom of scottland. The Anglosaxons were hired as mercenaries by rich romano british nobility to fight the invasion from the north. When they could not pay afterwards, the germanic warriors conquered the eastern parts of britannia. Wales was the last romano british territory to stand against the british, but it was not a kingdom of whales, instead it was a group of independent kingdoms, like Powys. For almost seven centuries, the britonic kingdoms from cornwall to strath clyde, fought the anglosaxons, gaels, picts, vikings and each other, until the english under normannish rule conquered the last of them, while the briton kingdom of strath clyde was split by england and scottland and assimilated by both. The law against slavery was put in place by William I. The Conquerer. He ruled over england, not over the britons or scotts or gaels. The law only said england.
I'm 45 and I learned this in school. They have changed the books to keep us divided. I always tell people that slavery was done by everyone to everyone at some point in history. It has nothing to do with race. I was a slave to an extremely abusive alcoholic for nearly 14 years. He stole my virginity and 14 years of my life. Greed and selfishness are to blame.
Hope it didnt affect you too much as an adult and the freedom to share the gift of forgiveness I along with several of my fellows suffered as a result of sexual mental and spiritual abuse in this climate of manipulative SO CALLED EXCEPTED INSECURE ADULTS THAT ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.I CANNOT FORGET BUT I CAN FORGIVE (thank god)
Anyone who has read the Bible should be able to tell you that slavery was a universal custom/institution. Just proves that a lot of people haven't read Scripture.
@@gratefullady3498 Actually if you study the European experience with "conquering" Africa, you find that it was an incredibly difficult, expensive, time-consuming labor. Which leads one to believe that the governments of the time were doing it solely for the purposes of showboating and political competition: "We have X number of colonies and what about you?" kind of thing. Essentially flexing and pride. The average citizen of those countries had little to do with it, much less their ancestors. As for the continent of Africa (the land) itself, its almost like it was designed to be a safe and sheltered "paradise" for those who could learn its ways, and a hellscape for those who refused. Essentially, the land itself fought to protect you guys, and it was only your people selling out each other in the name of greed and hate that led to what happened to your ancestors. I think there's a lesson in that. When brother turns on brother, not even God can stop the horror.
Being a 40yr old white male, that was raised in some very backwoods parts of Georgia, this is what has always been taught. I am on the border of Georgia and Alabama, in a little bitty country town, and we see no racism here. All of the kids love one another, no matter the race, because they were taught the truth, raised in church, and shown love by everyone around them. The world makes ugly people, politicians and hidden agendas make ugly people, people are not born with ugly hearts.
Amen! I grew up, and have moved back, to a small south Alabama town because we do not have, never have had-in my 62 years, any racial problems! We get along great & it sickens me to see the unbelievable hatred kids in dem cities have against each other because they’ve been TAUGHT to hate based solely on skin color.🤬🙏
@@beverlypeterson291 Are you serious? Alabama is second to Mississippi in atrocities done to black people, and that's not even including the Tuskegee experiment.
Children are taught hate. I was a Navy brat and one of the places we were stationed at was Charleston, SC. We used a travel trailer until we got put into base housing and I made a friend at one of the campgrounds. She was Asian and neither she nor her family speak any English but that didn't matter to either of us. We spent every single day either at my place or hers playing dolls, riding bikes or playing on the play ground. It never occurred to me to treat her differently; she was my friend and that was that. I wish that adults could be as accepting as kids.
He is definitely worthy of a statue and other accolades. NOT because he is black but because he is tremendously intelligent and a great human being. As well as having served as a Marine.A true AMERICAN treasure.
I am a white man and I have watched many black youtubers react to this video and I get so relieved when they realize the truth. God bless you sis! and I agree with you, the whole world needs to see this video. All it would take is one TV channel to run a special on this and things will change. If there was anyone who ever deserved a massive statue in his honor,,,,its is Thomas Sowell!!!!!!!
@@realietv975 You call him arrogant and say there is no context in the video when all he did was praise the truth. When you only wade in the shallow end of the waters you’ll never see what’s hidden in the deep. That deep darkness you can’t see through represents the blinding narrative, a sea of deceit. You never know unless you look, truth always prevails. If you don’t value it, you will keep losing by being misguided. The knowledge is there, many are blinded by things in this world, like hate, sorrow, love, but that is the narrative pushed to keep that which is boosting ratings for media. The news and other sources have info, but they don’t have to tell it honestly, they just got to tell it in a way to suck you in to keep watching. What is keeping you watching? If it’s the truth, you will do what she does here, research and learning. Others simply watch because their heart is gripped by a narrative, almost like an addiction, but never looking deeper into things and truly believe politics in America is truly in our best interest. Looking at the state of things currently, it is clearly not.
It is beautiful to see you realise we as whites do not disrespect anyone or their race. It hurts me see the hatred in someone's eyes for something I could never do and because of the colour of my skin.
@leechap3 I think you have this flipped. Democrats want alternate history taught in schools as well as non-scientific beliefs on gender. This will never be taught in democrat run areas because it doesn't promote their views and will reduce the voter block.
@@leechap3Democrats won't want the history of their party in schools because they are the party of the Confederates, KKK, and many of the race specific atrocities in our countries history.
This is WRONG. GOT to be CAREFUL WHERE you Get info from. Yt folks Enslaved it folks, but the Enslaved would ESCAPE. Yt Enslaved Could NOT be Distinguished from Anyone else. THATS WHY THE COLOR CHANGE!! WOW...this person iui s Soooooo Easily Conditioned to These LIES. YOU need to Dig DEEPER. And WHY turn Off the Comnents if your Not Afeaid of the REAL TRUTHS???? Shane on YOU.
I'm glad you are showing this , I'm a white republican who's ancestors never owned slaves of any kind ,a number of my ancestors died in the Civil War fighting for the union ( north) because they were appalled by this travesty of " owning a person of any kind , we've been here since 1691 , peace be with you , God bless.
You are not even telling the truth. It was not until the emancipation proclamation that the north even considered ending slavery as a reason for the war. Until then it was tp preserve the union.
BTW Dr. Sowell is an intellectual giant and a national treasure. I’m so happy that more and more people are discovering his amazing body of work. Love to all folks!
I agree, Tom Sowell is someone to emulate, to name schools after and build a library. He is in his 90's and he is an absolute gem. The Ottoman Empire and the Portuguese bought slaves from Africa first. African leaders wanted guns from the Portuguese and offered slaves. He tells this in one of his videos.
He is my go to guy on anything to do with culture or ideologies becausd he talks truth, objective and subjective truth and his best attribute is he cant be called a racist by anyone!😎🖖
Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams are two amazing people that have been telling the truth for a very long time. The more people that are exposed to them the better
My great grandfather was an Indian (Native American) slave. I love that you shared this. Slavery is a big problem in our world still. There are more slaves on the face of the earth today than there have ever been in history. Sweat shop workers, human and sex trafficking victims. these people are not there by their own free will. Every living thing wants to be free. God Bless you for sharing this. Your reaction is so strong and beautiful
Also all the Christian slaves in non-Christian countries; partially why my family tries their best to not buy from online where the product could have (and most likely) been from a country that enslaves Christians
@@themothers To say "martyrs" would probably be a bit too far, since that refers to those who were tortured/killed for their faith (and they can be heard about from places like Voice of the Martyrs, a program/website/book that brings awareness to it all), but what I can say is that there are numerous countries where Christians are banned/restricted, such as Southeast Asia, Middle East and North Africa, or hostile (accepting, but still persecuting) such as Israel, Cuba, or the horn of Africa. And if a Christian is found in any of those "restricted" countries, they will either be tortured, enslaved, or killed because they believe. This aligns with what this video was saying about slavery happening because of religion, sign of weakness, or the other reasons it listed (idr them all because I watched it yesterday and have other things on my mind).
A question was once asked, "How long did slavery exist in the US?" The US officially became an independent country in 1776. Prior to that, the US was a part of England. Slavery was abolished in the US in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. With that, slavery only existed in the United States for 89 years.
I’m 67 and remember being taught this when in junior high. And growing up reading the Bible, you realize the custom of indebted women and children as slaves to pay for the debts of their husbands/fathers when they passed away. So slavery of many cultures, races and creeds is not new.
As an old British guy (65) I was taught all this at school. Britain banned slavery throughout the British Empire (a large part of the known world) in 1807. They set up a squadron of ships to stop the Atlantic slave trade and another squadron of ships to stop the Indian Ocean slave trade all paid for out of tax money. Many men and British ships were lost as the British attacked ships carrying slaves and released the slaves. This was our reparations paid over many years.
I also learned this in school . I'm 62 and have been so disappointed how the slave trade has been hijacked by woke youth who have no idea of the real truth
Thomas Sowell admitted to being a Marxist when he was young. He also said he was wrong for being a Marxist. Thomas Sowell is a very honest, intelligent and down to earth person. I wish that I was more like him.
I was a history major in college and learned about this in an early American history class in my junior year. I don't remember hearing about this in any of previous classes. Seems like all humanity participated in slave trades since dawn of time. Thank you Dr. Sowell.
You know what just came to mind is that although the complete truth about slavery ( in U.S. public schools) wasn’t/isn’t fully revealed in certain world history studies it inadvertently is. For example, the Egyptians having slaves, the Aztecs not uniting the 100+tribes they conquered, mentioning some Native American tribes that took slaves as well. But they don’t tend to put any advanced focus & discussions on it.
@@joelplatt3396 I've wondered this also and I have come to the conclusion that in certain regions there just aren't any historical recordings offering decent detail. There is enough to figure out much of it but I do't know what it might take to get the 'absolute truth' of every occurrence of enslavement.
Yes it was slavery was before Jesus was born. However, it still does not make it right and maybe you are just hearing this is because it’s not true do more research
@@jerryalston8346 Yes there was slavery before Jesus was born = okay you are correct. Who here says it is right? or it is okay?Nobody that I can see.. but you're wrong to suggest that I am just seeing/hearing this for first time...I've known this stuff for decades and have said it on websites for years now. You see I am one of hte few who DID READ books and have always enjoyed American history and World history as well. SO why don't you enlighten us Jerry about what really happened and who or what I should research to gain THE TRUTH.
I am a 69 year old white man, and I never heard or was taught any of this. Can you imagine the difference in race relations if we had all been taught this many years ago. You seem like a wonderful young woman and I appreciate you taking the time to watch this. God bless you!!
I too am in my sixties and 25+yrs ago dated a wonderful black woman, while we never married (should have but for other issues) the issue of slavery certainly didn't help especially given she believed slavery was fueled by white slavers raiding African coastal villages.
I'm in my mid 40's and knew this since I was in elementary school. I'm shocked that you where not taught this. Really it only takes a little research to find this out.
@@cillerbeez5892 schools pushing a narrative, and there's an awful lot of poorly educated parents who entrust these schools to give their child a good education which they personally can't. I think all parents should educate themselves and their children by homeschooling them and looking much deeper into topics than schools ever do. If you think about it, you only ever need to be one step ahead your child, so it's really not hard as long as your willing to get the books and educate yourself, which everybody should, because knowledge is power. But then we'd need households with both parents which is largely unheard of these days, and either a mother, or father who's willing to educate their child as well as their self alongside the regular day to day chores. But society wants both parents working to the bone spending as little time with their children as possible to pay taxes, and the kids in school being bombarded with whatever narrative they wish to push at the time, and teaching them to be compliant in all aspects of life and respect "authority figures" regardless of whether you know them, or what you know about them, you have to do as you're told, that's life.. that's why the world is such a shit show right now and will only continue to get worse until there's rioting in the streets when people eventually wake up lol
And now you know why you don't know it. When whites and blacks and hispanics and asians etc are busy hating each other, they have no time to pay attention to what daddy government is doing in the background.
10:00 you were never taught the truth because it’s easier to teach people to be a victim and control them than it is to teach them the truth and let them make decisions for them-selves. It’s always exciting to watch people learn Truth and be liberated by it. I love you sister.
Someone should get all of Sowel's videos and all of his knowledge together and create college courses before we loose him....all this information must continue to be out there, he is a national treasure and a true advocate for bettering all of us , especially the black population.
In 1833, Britain used 40% of its national budget to buy freedom for all slaves of the Empire. Britain borrowed such a large sum of money for the slaver Abolition Act that it wasnt paid off until 2014. This means that living British Citizens helped pay for the ending of the slave trade with their taxes.
@Frigger20 To the owners of the slaves. A long-held rule of law is that the government is obligated to compensate citizens if the government takes their property, literally or constructively. The 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires compensation for a government taking. This was a point of debate before the U.S. Civil War when abolition by legal means, rather than war, was discussed.
Yes, it was THE BRITISH THAT FOUGHT AGAINST SLAVERY AROUND THE WORLD, WE DID HERE AT HOME, EVENTUALLY, BUT WE HAD TO WAIT OUR LOSE THE COUNTRY SO.. YES IT SHOULD HAVE COME SOONER BUT IT DID COME... NO MORE SLAVERY IN THE US... IN THE FREE CIVILIZED WORLD(only western world,sorry, we're the only civilized societies)
I’m in my 60s, educated in the 70s and 80s. This has always been my understanding of slavery, which sadly, still exists today in all races. None of it to do with racism, it’s about power and control over another human being. Thank you for sharing your reaction lovely lady 🥰
One other thing: whether it was white on white, black on black or whatever slavery, it was the elite minority who had slaves. As today, it is the few who held the power and wealth while the vast majority simply lived their lives trying to support their families.
I was taught this in Junior High School 1968. It's sad that so many don't believe what was going on before they came to the USA. It is true, slavery had nothing to do with color of the skin!
I was also in junior high in 1968. We had great teachers back then. They just gave us the true facts, and didn't put any political ideology spin on anything. It's a shame what the public school system has become.
@@rodjohnson2632 It wasn't until I got to Junior High School and Social Studies that I leaned about our Government. Social Studies and History were the same class. Learning about the history of the world and the USA was amazing to me. At 64 I can't get enough of it, I just wish I like many others believed about the USA what I believe now. It's not the Best country and it ranks in the top of one of the most corrupt. What our Government has done would get some in other countries hung. Sadly, Tar and Feathering is no longer acceptable.
Strange how it in the USA was ONLY blacks who were slaves. Yes in other parts of the world all races were enslaved at some point. But in the U.S. it was always only black people! Even the Chinese who built the railroads got paid and was free to quit. Sowell has made a lot of money by telling racists that they aren't racists.
Indentured is misleading. Yes, they would earn their freedom after a certain amount of time but during the time they were not paid but were responsible for feeding, clothing and sheltering themselves and their families. So, they had to ‘borrow’ from the contract holders. They then had to remain working until that was paid off.
@@kathym8223 Again true facts that don't paint the whole picture. Black slaves were treated more cruelly than white indentured servants. For example, black slaves were subjected to slave breeding farms. Were white indentured servants bred?
So they're worried about slavery in America then? Then the rest if this doesn't matter to the story they're worried about. In America Americans made choices to enslave other Americans. What someone halfway across the world was doing simply didn't matter. In America people seceded specifically to keep African enslaved. In America, when the trans-Atlantic trade was banned, America had chattel slavery for another 60 years. All you have to do is tell me how any of these "truths" of yours matter when an American talks about slavery in America. Go on. Make your argument.
I’m Slavic Eastern European we where enslaved by the Turks. This is correct it isn’t about race it’s about gaining free labor and it’s wrong anywhere in the world. The divisions need to stop. I believe we where miss taught for the purpose of creating hate. The hate needs to stop. Thank you for sharing this information with others. When the truth comes out hopefully we can put our differences aside and just love one another.
The cruel irony is that this divide and conquer narrative is used by the descendants of the kind of people who benefited from slavery. The rich, the powerful they don't care about anyone but themselves.
@@damonmelendez856 It is the Globalists who are spreading this self hating ideology. The Anglosphere has been taken over by the Globalists who are trying to bring about the NWO one world government digital slave system. All of this division and hate is orchestrated by them through their total control of the media and their infiltration of the universities #Cultural Marxism. Once enough people realise who the Globalists are we will be able to stop this evil hand that has pupetteered this world from the shadows for centuries.
👍 Did you know that the Germanic tribes went to war with the Slavs for centuries, taking each other for slaves? The term slave actually derives from the name Slavs! Also, until ca. 1870, most European and Russian peasants were bonded farmers, so-called unfree serfs almost like slaves. So probably around 70 % of the population.
@jackiestowe6987 For a variety of reasons, but I think the main reason is control of the blacks. The Democrats have a lock on the black voters. Interesting that the Democrats were/are the party of Slavery, AND they control most of the school boards in this country. Kinda adds up, in my mind.
@@jackiestowe6987 I graduated in 2015 in the southern US & we sure weren't taught this. My parents had to explain this to us because they were taught the truth in school. No telling what they're teaching now... it's probably even worse now
I happened to find this, as I greatly admire Thomas Sowell. I thank you for taking the time to listen to a different narrative, and get the truth. Slavery was a dark time in the US, but we fought to end it. Our relationships between the races was a a good place until a few years ago, when DEI came the craze. These people have broke us into races and want us not to get along. I grew up in the 80s and i had friends of all races, we didnt see color. Now that is the first thing they want us to see. I refuse to do it....I pray for the day we can live in MLK s dream.
The reaction of the young lady to the truth about slavery is wonderful. The realization that she has been misled about the history of slavery is i believe a revelation to her. We need more young people like this look beyond the existing narrative and discover the truth
As a white Man I just want to say... what a Beautiful Lady. I am so sick of all the time we as a species have wasted on hating one another. It is really stupid. Think of how much real progress that has been lost to all of this political division. It needs to stop. We have children to raise, teach them to love one another.
Children are instinctively loving. Differences in race, religion, social status, is taught to them. Children don't see color or worn clothes. They see the beautiful spirit within. So why don't we try to learn from and emulate the children. If we did, there would be peace on earth
@T-Bone Morphius You are correct. There was abusive behavior but not all owners were like that. There were also white transatlantic slaves--we never heard about them.
Ummm, no. Look into the black experience post civil war. Much more death and horror because they had nobody to protect them from the Jim Crow racists. Racism and economic exclusion in the north, along with violence, was also a factor in todays race relations.
Don't forget, when you look at white men, at least half of them have families who fought and died to free slaves. People like my relatives from Ohio fought for slaves to be freed from the South. My Great Uncle had numerous black employees. He has a story of them even pressing to get paid more, so everyone (including whites) got paid more. That's not slave behavior. The North didn't hate blacks. I have family who lost businesses and lives fighting against slavery in the U. S. When you look at white men, at least half of them have families who fought and died to free slaves.
@@pitchforkpeasant6219 the Left has motivation to keep racism stirred up... it's sad. I don't even really blame individuals, when whole school systems are training kids to think black vs white.
I am 71yrs old and feel blessed to have heard Thomas Sowell speak on roughly 6 or 7 different occasions and each time I was captivated by this mans mastery at presenting the truth and then chuckle with his keen intellect at the foolishness so many people have been led to believe for so long. I say learn the truth, cutting the chains that bind us so we may all live to embrace each other.
Trying to wake people is worthless everyone has their own divine time of waking up to reality aka the red pill moment, and there is a choice to be made whether you ignore it or not. Creating content for the curious is pristine.
Exactly as you said, other sold their own race to anyone who had the money. I love Thomas Sowell's writing and work on exposing the truth, he's a brilliant man!
One thing I discovered while looking into slavery was that there were actually black slave owners in America who owned white slaves, this blew my mind.
I recently listened to a Muslim religious leader praising slavery. I find it appalling that young people are treated horribly, with low wages because they have no experience (which no one really gives them anymore, in schools) and he praises slavery. 🤢
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. I have followed him for years because he strives to find truth. Slavery is a crime of opportunity. One of the most degrading and vicious crimes in world history. I am so glad you found Dr. Sowell. God Bless.
And today we are in as bad state of international slavery as we've ever been in considering that it's biggest purpose is sex slavery of children oftentimes to the elite of the elites! Pray to God Almighty, the all seeing eye, for the evil deeds to be exposed and taken down! God help us to extinguish modern day slavery!!!
I'm a 40 year old portuguese and I remember learning these facts in school until my early teens, but then the narrative began to change and historical facts became infamous racist propaganda and, by the time I left school, it was completely assimilated into the general youth and society. It's really mind-boggling how "they" are able to rewrite humanity's collective memory in less than a generation.
Interesting. Because here in Holland "they" entered universities with the purpose to "march through the institutions" about 1982. I thought they would not succeed, but I completely underestimated the cowardness in academia. So they had hardly any opposition. And about 10 years later secondary school teachers thaught THEIR version of history.
The most shocking thing about this video is that the true history of slavery is not being taught in schools anymore. I'm 61 and we learned all this in middle and high school.
Being forced to watch Roots over and over again in school was nothing but propaganda brainwashing. The word slaves comes from the Slavic nation. Millions of whites under Muslim slavery. It’s not a black and white topic at all. But because of the schools brainwashing programs the easy to manipulate group (which is the majority) to believe in lies. This is systemic . It’s not just slavery
My grandma always taught me that PEOPLE are wicked, no matter where they come from or where they are going. But where evil abounds, goodness is what springs forth.
Thank you for your sweet spirit and willingness to be open to the truth. White people don’t hate black people, you all are our brothers and sisters in Christ. God bless you.
MORE PURE LOVE in Truth, We are All Connected The change Is by The actual TRUTH, WAY AND LIFE We need to LOVE God And Love one another, best as possible be at Peace He made ALL of US. Fear mongering IS creating division. What a Blessing Yahs Commanding to come together in UNITY ❤🕊💞
Thomas Sowell is one of the most articulate, brilliant historians of our age. He was not a historian by trade but an economist who was/is very disturbed and depressed by the trend back towards racial segregation we have been experiencing in the last 20 years. I always wonder why people behave as if segregation instead of equality is better, but not knowing actual history may be the reason.
It may be because we suffer less damage and brain washing when we stick to our own. I grew up surrounded by whites, and although they are mostly polite to your face, things happen behind your back, and under the radar.. If we had our own communities like"WALL STREET" , our children would not have to feel compared to others and judged, or blamed unjustly. and they would have role models in their own community.
Sowell is a brilliant man, probably one of the most important figures of the last century for critical thinking. This information has been available for a long time but has been kept suppressed by special interest organizations.
I'm not so sure this was taught in the US school system for the most part... I had to access the encyclopedias we had at home and I would hit the libraries and bring book(s) home on a given subject. For my generation, I would say that 90% saw it the way it was put down in "Roots" = which was by and large accurate but it was also a work of fiction.
I remember learning this in school, it was 5th or 6th grade I believe, I'm 42 now. I believe our youth are taught such a watered down version of history, American or otherwise. I have always been a firm believer that our children need to be taught the truth, all of it, the good, the bad and the ugly.
I was raised in Tulsa Oklahoma and as a kid with older parents I asked about a rumored "race riot" for years. No one knew a thing, so later in life I found a book on it and researched it. A few years later the story breaks national as the "Tulsa Race Massacre" and I honestly didn't recognize it. The national news proclaimed that there were three hundred dead, when everything I had seen recorded less than twenty. There was no mention of the build up to what happened, stories about people who were there, they even failed to mention the first black deputy Barney Cleaver who was on site when the whole thing sparked off. And this is what they teach in schools here today. The sad thing is, the history leading up to what happened and the aftermath is every bit as interesting as the pogrom itself.
@@killgorian131 What they never mention is that previous to the transatlantic crossing there was no negative interactions as such between Europeans and Sub Saharans. And also that the original plan of the Europeans was to hire people from India. However they were Conn-vinced instead to take slaves with the lure of a one time pay.
@@onlythetruth883 I was never taught anything about slavery that I remember on any real international level, only as it pertained to America. I came from the 47th worst educated state in the US. What I do know is slavery is as old as human history.
They left out the bit where British white folks got paid BILLIONS in todays money for freeing slaves. So, in fact, slaves WERE seen by the white British government as human cattle. Incidentally those who brought in the Act of Parliament were slave-owners themselves. So they paid THEMSELVES. lol. I hope I haven't upset a 60 yrear old who should have known this stuff.
I’m from Europe and it’s crazy how my country doesn’t talk about the slavery of my people. Zero. I didn’t know until I just happened to come across some of the history. But in a way I’m glad, I didn’t grow up with hatred nor feeling like I can’t do something because of slavery. But then again history is important.
Thomas Sowell is the GOAT and a national freaking treasure. He was the first seed planted in my young liberal brain that broke me free from blindly following entrenched narratives. I first heard him speak about the gender pay gap and listened to try to disprove his position. I could not disprove it, and instead walked away realizing I had been indoctrinated my whole life. That day began my intellectual discovery and evolution.
@@loriokoh6918 huh? Not sure what your implying, but it sounds racist like you're calling him a "coon" for not towing the line on narratives driven by ideologues and hustlers.
I first ran into Dr.Sowell when I wanted to learn more about how the various subcultures in America came to be. I bought a book called “Ethnic America”, which was a very scholarly book that answered a ton of questions about how not only African but Irish, German, Italian, Jewish and other American subcultures came to America. All of them had similar paths where they were rejected and feared by the people living in America when they first arrived, then slowly integrated until they went from pariahs to leaders and pillars of American society. Then, when I read more of Dr. Sowell’s work, I became shocked to find that African Americans were on the same trajectory in the mid twentieth century when, of all things, the Great Society programs halted their growth. I grew up thinking these were good things… giving people who were disadvantaged resources needed to keep above water and give them a chance. But the facts were undeniable… African Americans actually suffered family destruction and reversal on all economic trends that halted their upward path for decades. It was like my whole worldview was hit by a massive sledgehammer of truth. Dr. Sowell is a genius, and his logic and scholarship impeccable. And he showed me that if African Americans are victims of something, its worst victimhood was from programs made to help them by well-meaning fools.
@@hadriansdog499 ad hominem is the tool most used by those who know they've lost the argument. Reasonable people with well-formed ideas never resort to name calling because they have truth on their side.
I am 61 I know the truth too. One of our state parks near my home. Was owned by a black woman and she owned slaves. So our state park use to give tours about it. Plus when I was very young an elderly woman who was a slave on the plantation had been to the plantation and talked about her memory from the plantation. 😊
Thank you for posting this. It is eye opening, that slavery was a predatory act ir conquest of the fitest vs the meek and not a race based hate. So interesting.
My son got kicked out of his history class for stating these facts - it wasn't until I went in and educated his history "teacher" about what it was really about and threatened legal action with the Principal before he got a formal apology in front of the class. His classmates were shocked but at least they actually got taught facts instead of his "teachers" liberal agenda.
How did you go about proving it? books? references?
Popper, Good on you!
How was it a liberal agenda? Sounds like a conservative agenda to me.
There needs to be more parents like you who raise courageous kids who aren't afraid of truth and stand up to false propaganda. You should be proud.
Most people are tunneled vision and you tend to be one of them..Slavery is alive and well in all of its forms
I’m from Mexico and we were taught the true history of slavery in school.
When I finally immigrated to the USA, I was genuinely shocked at the amount of incorrect/omitted information (and outright lies) being taught to the general public about their own country, within their own country.
It is terrifying how successful they’ve been at keeping most people ignorant to this and at rewriting history for nefarious purposes…
To the point that you will be attacked (sometimes physically), simply for trying to discuss the *full* reality of historic (and current) slavery.
Ehhh, when you refer to a country of 330 million individual citizens as "they", you are just as complicit in the continuation of misinformation as "they" are...
Try again...
P.S. Slavery is mentioned numerous times in Bible. Are you trying to tell me that in a nation of so many Christians, no one noticed this error while in school??
Not bragging, just saying, I certainly did...
Our cold war rivals, the communists, infiltrated our schools and used subversive curriculum to turn America's youth against their own country. The communists even managed to gain control of the democrat party, which is why they peddle division, every chance they get. It's all about destabilizing and eventually collapsing the USA so they can rebuild it into a communist state.
That's what Biden's slogan "Build Back Better" is really about. He'll build America back AFTER he's done destroying it.
I’m one of those kids that was attacked for trying to impart truth to people around me. I was a white kid from an urban area in the 1980s. I was occasionally physically assaulted but regularly verbally accosted for simply trying to educate folks. It really hurts your soul to be one of three white kids in the entire school and be blamed for doing something so horrible like this simply due to purposeful ignorance.
@@cmatt1982 To see black people now spreading the truth is gratifying, but part of me does a Jack Horner and wonders, "What took ya so long, *idiot?"*
I think it's very clear what is happening this tale of the Americans fighting to stop slavery and the English saying they stop slavery, begs the questions, when did the major European powers divided up Africa among themselves as this wasn't the way it was when they were purchasing. And also the crime goes beyond the selling the bigger crime is what happened after... the purchase. All so I see how shocked people are when we say are brothers sold us, but who is guilty, if a gun is purchase and someone is killed with that same gun who is guilty. No one looks for the seller or the gunsmith who made it just the shoot who used it......
The more we fight amongst ourselves, the less we're focused on the people pulling the strings...almost as if it's done deliberately. Glad to see more and more people breaking free of the false narratives we have been fed for so long.
Facts. It's facts. Lol
You nailed it !!
I agree and I also think it's deliberate. They are throwing chaos at us, keeping us occupied, while they're setting the wheels in motion, to implement the plan to rule the whole world from the WEF. They have recently met and agreed to speed up the agenda.
They've obviously seen that people are starting to get wise to their new world order plan and they're beginning to revolt against it. The brave French have been protesting and rioting for weeks and at least another five countries, have the same thing going on. Africa was protesting against Bill Gates. It's all being kept from us by MSM.
Have you noticed the insanity since 2020, its all a distraction to keep the ignorant oblivious to the greatest wealth transfere in history, and people wanna fight about stupid sht like race and sexual identity.

This is being done in US schools on purpose. Growing up I had friends of all ethnicities until they started teaching the manipulated history of slavery. The amount of animosity that was planted during that time was astounding. People I had been friends with since kindergarten just stopped talking to me and others of my race. It's division on purpose. Divide and conquer.

It's pretty simple once you see what's actually going on.

We still have slavery. Children and women sold as sex slaves. Let go of the past and help those who are suffering now, in our generation.
No mention of it either, because these nations who are ok with slavery, and horrific crimes against children, accuse people of hate speech.
My thoughts exactly
Our narrow minded view on slavery are keeping us from seeing it in all of it's many other various forms, right under our nose.
@thehuntress8850 agreed. People still use terms like "indentured servant" to describe the enslavement of some people. What they don't (or refuse to) understand is that "indentured servitude" was still slavery. It's was just more acceptable to call your slaves "indentured servants" and pretend they could work their way out of slavery

That's exactly why there's such a big push against dividing us all by color. So that we DONT stand.
You cannot stop what those that need to stop do not know. The only way to rectify this situation is to have groups of well trained and well-educated groups go into each and every school, and teach the truth on slavery. If they get any pushback from teachers in the form of saying what they are saying is a falsehood, then those individuals should turn to the children and tell them this. Those that don't want you to know the truth, want to enslave you by today's standards, which is mental slavery. Do not fall for, or listen to those that speak against what we teach you, because if you do, you will end up enslaved like all the others that passed through his/her door. I guarantee this shuts that teacher up instantly
I have known this for decades, but whenever I tried to educate others about this, I would be rejected. When telling black people about this, I was met with anger and called racist because I look white. When I tried to tell people that even whites were slaves I would be called ignorant. Really? More people need to see this and understand we have been lied to sooooo much about true history. Thank you for putting this out there❤
Am mixed. I've been studying for a black slavery when I was into rastafri. Back in the late 70s. As I dig deeper. Looking other history of slavery from other countries.

i was taught in usa public schools and i knew that slavery existed since before the roman empire!? maybe it was because our school was 90 percent white?! maybe because our teachers were good? i think part of the problem is that the teachers are just left up to their own discretion(in most cases) to teach whatever they think is necessary for their students(sure there is some broad testing but it's only for math and reading so...) but while this might be a great idea for a "good" teacher(letting them pick what to teach kids), a teacher who isn't so great or a teacher who wants to promote a certain narrative or a teacher who doesn't know any better(they've been propagandized themselves or perhaps when learning something new, they only hear or learn what they want to hear, which it seems for a certain personality type can be just about the best one can hope for?!) either way(whichever way the teacher has come across the propaganda or the bad info) it's just up to them to teach "whatever"...teaching "whatever" can be great if it's being done by a good teacher but if it's being done by a teacher who is already misinformed(purposely or not) this is where the trouble lies in! my best guess on how to solve this problem is to mandate certain aspects/ideas/history/etc be taught but to also leave some room for the teachers to be able to have some of their own discretion...but then we'd have the problem of who gets to decide what the mandatory lessons are then?! and i've not heard any great idea(s) about how to decide what is "the truth" and what isn't so far...other than "science" and "everyone knows their own truth"...certainly there has to be some way that we come to know the truth about whether or not say..."the earth is flat"!!! for some people their "truth" is that the "earth is flat" and for the rest of us the idea seems worse than absurd....but certainly we cannot just dismiss the group that's incorrect but there sure isn't lots of "science" or "evidence" on "how to change a human's mind so they know the real actual truth about the physical world" that currently exists...so this is a tough topic to be able to solve...

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. He is a black man, a brilliant scholar. He deserves nothing but highest regard by people of any race or origin.
He's a true intellectual, not just using his education for status
Agreed.
Thomas Sowell is one of the top five scholars of any race in the U.S., as I see it. He got his undergraduate degree from Harvard, his Master's degree in economics from Columbia, and his Ph.d. from the University of Chicago. He has written over 30 books, including
1. "Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy"
2. "Race and Culture: A World View"
3. "Intellectuals and Society"
4. "Knowledge and Decisions"
5. "A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles"
6. "The Housing Boom and Bust"
7. "Dismantling America: and Other Controversial Essays"
8. "Economic Facts and Fallacies"
9. "The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy"
10. "Black Rednecks and White Liberals."
I think it became racist when they were brought to america, the way they were treated, whipped, lynched, raped. Blacks continued to be treated bad all the way up to 1970. And still today theres racism going on.

They need that crutch to feel better about their situation. Easy to blame your problems on others, than to take responsibility for their actions.
Imagine needing that crutch of lies, and for what ??? What reason could there be ???
Well let's teach them by our example! Begins in the home, not in "school"
I'm a white woman whose ancestors lived in poverty. My maternal grandfather was sent to an orphanage when his mother died because his father, as the story goes, wasn't able to care for all 8 children. He was made an indentured servant of a family in Savannah, Georgia, and had to work for them for several years in order to earn his freedom. It wasn't about race. It was about being poor, powerless, and vulnerable.
In 1808 manumission in the southern states was banned for Black enslaved people. So buying themselves out of slavery was banned. So it absolutely was about race.
So where the children born after your relative born into slavery? Because thst was the law for the black enslaved.
@@gloriamccoygl Yes they were
Same thing happened to my mother's family and also on my dad's mum side.
My grandmother, who is in her 70’s, had to leave school as a child, with her 7 siblings, to pick cotton. No one wants to hear that though. They want yo focus on things hundreds of years ago.
Wanting to know the truth should never be offensive or stopped.
If you are being stopped for speaking or searching for truths, something is wrong and it should confirm that you are on the right path
The reason that the truth is no longer taught was summed up by George Orwell in his novel "1984", written in 1949: "Who controls the past controls the future", or as American Vision puts it: "Whoever controls the schools controls the future."
David Horowitz talks about this in "Radical Son".
Yes!
A lot of American Africans became Muslims. My impression is, that the Muslims tell them lies about slavery. They don't tell them, that the most "sucessfull" slave traders were and are Arabic people since human being exist. If you know the Bible, the Midianites took Josef as slave to Egypt and sold him. Most of the Africans condemn the Whites but never touch the Arabic Muslims because many countries in Africa are Islamic countries or have a big islamic population. It's easier to attack the West.
Absolutely true
George orwell was the first one to not teach the truth and lie about the past to control the future.
That's what he put into practice. One of the biggest false propagandist in history.
Thomas Sowell is a very distinguished black professor, author, and economist. He was born in the 1930's and grew up in Harlem, eventually graduating from Ivy League universities. He is a true hero.

One of my favorite quotes from Thomas Sowell was about going to Harvard. He got his bachelor’s degree from Harvard and said the best thing about getting it from Harvard was that he was no longer impressed by someone having a Harvard degree!

The real reason that this slavery occurred is because Sub Saharans needed a way to get in on these new lands and would have done any trick and used any means to get here. That they will never tell nor admit to.
The original plan of the Europeans was to hire people from India but were Conn-vinced instead to do otherwise with the lure of a one time pay.

My father's Scots-Irish people were brought to America in chains as 'involuntary indentured servants' in the early 1600's.
Some of them escaped over the Appalachians and wound up in the Cherokee, Coosa and other tribes in the area, initially as slaves but later as members.
When Andrew Jackson sent most of these tribes to the Oklahoma territory, locals claimed that my family members were actually Basques from Spain, not part Indian or Black.
The Basque were some of the first people on these lands. The Basque fought for their sovereignty. They guarded the north of Spain in exchange for it. Their mountains were their territory and nobody could get through them to take them over, although they tried.

The word ‘slave’ itself, was coined after the word ‘Slavic’. Slavic people were mostly Caucasian. Also, the Democratic Party fought to keep slavery, formed and funded the KKK, wrote and passed the Jim Crow laws, and fought against Martin Luther King Jr. Thomas Sowell is one of my favorite scholar.

Thomas Sowell is a very learned gentleman, speaks the truth.
Shelby Steele is another towering black man. I first became acquainted with him when I read his book The Content Of Our Character 40 years ago.
My family is Irish, Scottish, Arabic. My ancestors were slaves brought to America. They just used a nicer term "Indentured Servant". A debt that they could never pay off, living in squalor....My grandmother used to tell me how they couldn't get jobs because they were Irish. I just want to say thank you for your open mind. What we need is our Lord's love...
Your ancestors weren't slaves brought to America and they chose to come to America. 40% of the Irish indentured servants were criminals and Black Americans have irish last names because Irish earned slaves, land and money after being indentured servants. Why do you people lie so much?
My ancestors were German - rather Prussian - indentured servants - the contract to pay passage across the Atlantic to Philadelphia on a Dutch ship named Phoenix in 1753. The 13 year old daughter died on the trip. When they died years later, their net worth was about the price of the journey across the Atlantic. The records and estate settlement papers survived. They migrated into Ohio, then Kentucky where they died. It was a difficult life
Your ancestors made a free choice to enter into a contract for passage to the Colonies (US ) They were not forced into it. What is surprising is that most IndServ, worked for the family as domesticated house servants until the debt was paid off. There were those that were victims of Companies or corporations that were basically the first human traffickers entrapping the workers in corporate debt schemes they could never pay off.
And yes, back then, quality of life compared to today was hard and difficult. But look at you, your ancestral line led you here did it not? Otherwise you would be back in Ireland or Europe main land somewhere.
***Edit*** The way my response was written leads to the belief that all indentured servants were voluntary. This was not the case as some individuals were prisoners of war, criminals or other status that a forced Indentured Service was offered to them (or death). Some of these circumstances led to the entire family being rounded up and forced into an Indentured Service status.
And the Irish became white by attacking the Chinese and newly freed black folk. There is entire studies and writing on how the Irish became white.
Many Irish indentured slaves mixed in with Black Americans and Native Americans hence are ancestors of so called Black Americans.
Slavery is not about racism. It's about POWER. More powerful tribes had weaker tribes as slaves, regardless of race. With a little critical thinking, this is intuitive, common sense. This happened all over the world. The US, UK, and France were the first 3 countries worldwide to abolish slavery. The US did not invent slavery, so we need to be proud of our leading, evolving history rather than vilifying ourselves. Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest economists of the last 100 years.
Nope In 1803, Denmark-Norway became the first nation in Europe to ban the African slave trade.
@@georgevaldez1449The first Nation to abolish slavery was Haiti in 1804…where did you got this info about the Nordics? It was a “local” ruling as the French did? I.e. in “metropolitan” France slavery was forbidden from 1315 by King Louis X ! But perfectly legal in the Colonies. Then it was Robespierre during french revolution that made one of the first laws for a general abolishing of the slavery in French Territories, Colonies included. It was the 1794. But it lasted just one legislature as the poor Robespierre himself!
Estados Unidos no inventó la Esclavitud, se limitó a encerrar en reservas a todos los indios que no exterminó previamente
It's also about greed
Yep, just like Pharoah and the Jewish people.
I'm 48 years old. They taught us this when i was in school. They quit teaching children real history (in the US) around the late 80s, from what i understand. By now, public school systems are a joke. There is so much cognitive dissonance. So much!
Thomas Sowell is a brilliant man. I wish that more people would read his books or listen to his interviews.
Same here, and I am 47.
As someone who was taught this topic in the early 90's-ish, ya, this new age, one sided, perspective was the one my generation was taught. Slowly I've been learning history and how much of what I learned was skewed.
I wish mr Sowell would go have a sit down with Joe rogan to spread his wisdom to the largest crowd possible, while we still have him here.
@@TheTaysoren history tends to repeat itself. I feel like we are in something similar to the fall of Rome. The rich got richer, the poor got poorer. Leadership was weak, the military became weak. People were divided. And then the stronger people came in and took over while destroying civilization. History was erased. The largest library in the world burned to the ground. A lot of knowledge was lost. That's what people in charge of this world want. They want a "reset". They've literally told us this.
My point is, study the fall of Rome. It's enlightening
@@yolandatorres4370 I was also taught this. I am of Irish descent. The Irish were the first slaves in America. I’m going to see if we still have a history book from when my husband and I were in school.
Keep spreading the word sister of the light , there are more of our brothers and sisters of all Races that need to know this
I'm a 65 year old white lady and we were taught this in middle school. I thought everyone was aware of it. If nothing else you can read the old testament, there is several mentions of slavery and individual slaves. That's how old it is including mentioning about different races.
At some point, it became "offensive" to include this information. I had a black history teacher that included this in the curriculum, even though it wasn't in the book.
When the subject has come up in work, or social situations, I have been attacked, and called a liar by whites and blacks.
I always tell them, to just do some research. This information is available.
Of course, then you hear the "white lies" defense.
I did a report in cultural anthropology on the different tribes that participated in the acquisition of slaves for sale.
I wish that I could remember the names of the tribes, but one tribe that was kidnapping their neighbors for slavery, was eventually attacked by their victims and sold into slavery themselves as retribution.
Nope, my history book had a picture of a white man in a powdered wig and knee high socks creeping up on unsuspecting Africans with a net. I'm 34.
I'm 58 yrs old and I knew the information presented in the video but I don't remember where I learned it from. I came from a family that were very outdoorsy but on a rainy or snowy day with nothing to do. I would just pick up one of the many encyclopedia's of our bookshelf and browse the pages of history. I was always taught that you could travel anywhere you wanted to as long as you could read...and oh, the places that I went, the things , I saw and the people I met! That's probably where.
True though in the OT slavery is a bit different bc ppl sold themselves to pay off debts they had accumulated. In some cases ppl sold themselves and their families bc they no longer could afford to feed themselves (ex: Joseph's brothers). A fewer amount as a sentence for committing crime that would eventually be up. So it seems more like indentured servitude than American slavery.
@@carlac33 chattel slavery was still a thing in the old testament
Nobody ever talks about all the Irish slaves who was treated just as bad but totally left out of all the history books .
So true!😮
yup my cousin came from ireland to volunteer as union solider but he actually came to free family members and any irish he could free and return to ireland after his service to union army.
Because they were allowed to assimilate into the white culture here in USA.
@@chrisperkins2628 I am not disputing the horrible mistreatment of the African slaves, the uphill battle that happened to end slavery nor the racism that has persisted after - even til today, but you cant devalue other slavery. Slavery is awful no matter what...and so you will know in the future...The Irish were unwillingly under British rule for over 700 years, where they were used as a testing ground for systems that England would use on others they made into colonies (including America). When Britain 'conquered' Ireland, they took the land from them and made them work it as slaves. There was no 'debt to work off'. It was slavery like any other. Some got an opportunity to get 'out' when England 'won' North America, but the indentured servitude you speak of started around that time and was a slow process. They didn't receive independence until 250 yrs later, which only came to resolution 100 years following that (you know...the IRA and a civil war in their fight for complete freedom). It was not a walk in the park and the remnants of it persists today. Arguing over which slavery was worse is just mind boggling to me...Taking people's basic right to freedom away in any form whatsoever is inhuman.
@@chrisperkins2628 Europeans were slaves in the Ottoman Barbary slave trade…
and from 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. The Irish were sold into slavery in Jamaica , the colonies and other places by the English. When African slaves came later on to North America they were expensive, the Irish were cheap. All slaves were treated poorly but the Irish, bc there were cheap were expendable were often killed. This meant they also mated Irish and black slaves ….the “ indentured servant” were nothing but slave labour. Some were worked to death, a few earned their freedom but their children were considered property still so they stayed to work. This was just another name for slavery and did not mean their lives were easier. The Irish couldn’t just go home as they weren’t wanted in England… that’s why they were sold in the first place… The Irish were also discriminated against… signs of No Dogs and No Irish were popular later on. The Irish also fought for independence in the US and helped build the country. You also don’t mention the Africans that sold off others to the Americas and other places…Nor the many black slave owners in the US… or that the Ottomans had many more African slaves than the US.
Slavery is horrible and is still happening in places like Africa. It involved all ppl in the world at times. Including “white” ppl. Unfortunately Africans are not unique to slavery.
I'm so glad this young woman was willing to hear and I hurt for her that she has to come to terms with how much she's been lied to by people she thought she could trust. Our schools, at all levels have been taken over by a political class that seeks to destroy our glorious nation. Pray, vote and seek truth.
"Taken over" and "vote" in the same idea. 😆 🤣 Can you see the ridiculousness of that thought!
Learning true history the bad and good will set you free.
If you read the Bible you would learn that over 4,000 years ago the Hebrew Nation, now known as the Israeli people, were enslaved by the Egyptians for centuries. They were millions of Hebrew Slaves before they were freed by divine intervention. It was again through God's Word that the movement in Europe & America that inspired the Abolishionis movement to free all slaves. Slavery continues today in nation's who have outlawed the Bible & do not Govern with Biblical principles like, all people were created equal. If you've never heard this before, do your own research. Read the Bible. It's all in there.
They lied to us all
We’re ALL coming to terms with this information becuz we’ve all been lied to abt it. The education system is culpable as is everyone else who had anything to do with propagating this hatred
Some years after King William took power (1066AD), he decreed that any enslaved person who set foot on British shores would be freed, and the owner fined £10. Good point in one reply, in my haste should have said "within the bounds of his Kingdom" rather than British shores. The Scots had their own Kingdom for a while, and although the Welsh were not described as slaves, they were oppressed and subjected to punishment unless they adopted the "English Tongue" - but hey, they were free! - until the Coal Barons arrived. Before William the slave masters were invaders, mostly from the North (Vikings) and the East (Romans). According to "Ancestry", I'm 86% Welsh and 14% "Northern European - not quite pure British, but more so than most of my "English" friends, albeit in an oppressed way.
That's wrong. English soil, not british soil. William had no power in scottland and the welsh princedoms. He was king of England.
British soil means English soil. Britain was a kingdom like Scottland and Wales before it was conquered by the English. The British isles are wrongly named because the brits were also the only people who were conquered by and worked with the Roman's, who named it the British isles. Britain is/was actually only what is considered England. Calling it Great Britain is also a re-writing of history
@@parithian8462 nope. Britannia was not a kingdom like scottland and wales before the anglosaxons came. It was the province of Britannia, attacked by the kingdoms of Dal Riata and Fortiu, the gaelic and the pictish kingdoms which later in the viking age formed together the kingdom of scottland. The Anglosaxons were hired as mercenaries by rich romano british nobility to fight the invasion from the north. When they could not pay afterwards, the germanic warriors conquered the eastern parts of britannia. Wales was the last romano british territory to stand against the british, but it was not a kingdom of whales, instead it was a group of independent kingdoms, like Powys. For almost seven centuries, the britonic kingdoms from cornwall to strath clyde, fought the anglosaxons, gaels, picts, vikings and each other, until the english under normannish rule conquered the last of them, while the briton kingdom of strath clyde was split by england and scottland and assimilated by both.
The law against slavery was put in place by William I. The Conquerer. He ruled over england, not over the britons or scotts or gaels. The law only said england.
I'm 45 and I learned this in school. They have changed the books to keep us divided. I always tell people that slavery was done by everyone to everyone at some point in history. It has nothing to do with race. I was a slave to an extremely abusive alcoholic for nearly 14 years. He stole my virginity and 14 years of my life. Greed and selfishness are to blame.
Hope it didnt affect you too much as an adult and the freedom to share the gift of forgiveness I along with several of my fellows suffered as a result of sexual mental and spiritual abuse in this climate of manipulative SO CALLED EXCEPTED INSECURE ADULTS THAT ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.I CANNOT FORGET BUT I CAN FORGIVE (thank god)
Anyone who has read the Bible should be able to tell you that slavery was a universal custom/institution. Just proves that a lot of people haven't read Scripture.
@@gratefullady3498 Actually if you study the European experience with "conquering" Africa, you find that it was an incredibly difficult, expensive, time-consuming labor. Which leads one to believe that the governments of the time were doing it solely for the purposes of showboating and political competition: "We have X number of colonies and what about you?" kind of thing. Essentially flexing and pride. The average citizen of those countries had little to do with it, much less their ancestors.
As for the continent of Africa (the land) itself, its almost like it was designed to be a safe and sheltered "paradise" for those who could learn its ways, and a hellscape for those who refused. Essentially, the land itself fought to protect you guys, and it was only your people selling out each other in the name of greed and hate that led to what happened to your ancestors.
I think there's a lesson in that. When brother turns on brother, not even God can stop the horror.
Hmm, my father told me stories about black people in america cotton areas having to call the white horse and dog sir and madam in the 1950s.

Being a 40yr old white male, that was raised in some very backwoods parts of Georgia, this is what has always been taught. I am on the border of Georgia and Alabama, in a little bitty country town, and we see no racism here. All of the kids love one another, no matter the race, because they were taught the truth, raised in church, and shown love by everyone around them. The world makes ugly people, politicians and hidden agendas make ugly people, people are not born with ugly hearts.
Amen! I grew up, and have moved back, to a small south Alabama town because we do not have, never have had-in my 62 years, any racial problems! We get along great & it sickens me to see the unbelievable hatred kids in dem cities have against each other because they’ve been TAUGHT to hate based solely on skin color.🤬🙏

This is awesome I wish every town in America was this way ❤
Children are taught hate. I was a Navy brat and one of the places we were stationed at was Charleston, SC. We used a travel trailer until we got put into base housing and I made a friend at one of the campgrounds. She was Asian and neither she nor her family speak any English but that didn't matter to either of us. We spent every single day either at my place or hers playing dolls, riding bikes or playing on the play ground. It never occurred to me to treat her differently; she was my friend and that was that. I wish that adults could be as accepting as kids.
Sowell is one of the greatest American minds of all time. Studying his writings will do great things for anyone’s life.
He is definitely worthy of a statue and other accolades. NOT because he is black but because he is tremendously intelligent and a great human being. As well as having served as a Marine.A true AMERICAN treasure.
Wonderful, educating one person at a time. Thomas Sowell is amazing!!!
I am a white man and I have watched many black youtubers react to this video and I get so relieved when they realize the truth. God bless you sis! and I agree with you, the whole world needs to see this video. All it would take is one TV channel to run a special on this and things will change. If there was anyone who ever deserved a massive statue in his honor,,,,its is Thomas Sowell!!!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY!

@@realietv975 You call him arrogant and say there is no context in the video when all he did was praise the truth. When you only wade in the shallow end of the waters you’ll never see what’s hidden in the deep. That deep darkness you can’t see through represents the blinding narrative, a sea of deceit. You never know unless you look, truth always prevails. If you don’t value it, you will keep losing by being misguided. The knowledge is there, many are blinded by things in this world, like hate, sorrow, love, but that is the narrative pushed to keep that which is boosting ratings for media. The news and other sources have info, but they don’t have to tell it honestly, they just got to tell it in a way to suck you in to keep watching. What is keeping you watching? If it’s the truth, you will do what she does here, research and learning. Others simply watch because their heart is gripped by a narrative, almost like an addiction, but never looking deeper into things and truly believe politics in America is truly in our best interest. Looking at the state of things currently, it is clearly not.
It is beautiful to see you realise we as whites do not disrespect anyone or their race. It hurts me see the hatred in someone's eyes for something I could never do and because of the colour of my skin.
This should be taught in school today, it would make a better world for all of us
I am all for more history being taught, but that's not where Republican lawmakers are at.
@leechap3 I think you have this flipped. Democrats want alternate history taught in schools as well as non-scientific beliefs on gender. This will never be taught in democrat run areas because it doesn't promote their views and will reduce the voter block.

I'm glad you are showing this , I'm a white republican who's ancestors never owned slaves of any kind ,a number of my ancestors died in the Civil War fighting for the union ( north) because they were appalled by this travesty of " owning a person of any kind , we've been here since 1691 , peace be with you , God bless.
You are not even telling the truth. It was not until the emancipation proclamation that the north even considered ending slavery as a reason for the war. Until then it was tp preserve the union.
That's nice, but it doesn't matter what your ancestors did. You are not responsible for anyone but yourself.
Never get your history from Movies or TV series. You know what they say, 'never let the truth get in the way of a good story.'
"Schools" are no better
Very good and witty point! 👍🏼
…or a you tube video
BTW Dr. Sowell is an intellectual giant and a national treasure. I’m so happy that more and more people are discovering his amazing body of work. Love to all folks!
I agree, Tom Sowell is someone to emulate, to name schools after and build a library. He is in his 90's and he is an absolute gem.
The Ottoman Empire and the Portuguese bought slaves from Africa first. African leaders wanted guns from the Portuguese and offered slaves. He tells this in one of his videos.
Thomas Sowell is someone we all need to pay attention to. I could listen to him day in and day out.
He is my go to guy on anything to do with culture or ideologies becausd he talks truth, objective and subjective truth and his best attribute is he cant be called a racist by anyone!😎🖖
Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams are two amazing people that have been telling the truth for a very long time. The more people that are exposed to them the better
My great grandfather was an Indian (Native American) slave. I love that you shared this. Slavery is a big problem in our world still. There are more slaves on the face of the earth today than there have ever been in history. Sweat shop workers, human and sex trafficking victims. these people are not there by their own free will. Every living thing wants to be free. God Bless you for sharing this. Your reaction is so strong and beautiful
exactly, fast fashion and sex industry enslave many people and children today and we do not care because we want 20 shirts for 10 dollars.
Well said
Also all the Christian slaves in non-Christian countries; partially why my family tries their best to not buy from online where the product could have (and most likely) been from a country that enslaves Christians
@@electro8679 please explain further if you don’t mind..
@@themothers To say "martyrs" would probably be a bit too far, since that refers to those who were tortured/killed for their faith (and they can be heard about from places like Voice of the Martyrs, a program/website/book that brings awareness to it all), but what I can say is that there are numerous countries where Christians are banned/restricted, such as Southeast Asia, Middle East and North Africa, or hostile (accepting, but still persecuting) such as Israel, Cuba, or the horn of Africa. And if a Christian is found in any of those "restricted" countries, they will either be tortured, enslaved, or killed because they believe. This aligns with what this video was saying about slavery happening because of religion, sign of weakness, or the other reasons it listed (idr them all because I watched it yesterday and have other things on my mind).
A question was once asked, "How long did slavery exist in the US?"
The US officially became an independent country in 1776. Prior to that, the US was a part of England.
Slavery was abolished in the US in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. With that, slavery only existed in the United States for 89 years.
I’m 67 and remember being taught this when in junior high. And growing up reading the Bible, you realize the custom of indebted women and children as slaves to pay for the debts of their husbands/fathers when they passed away. So slavery of many cultures, races and creeds is not new.
As an old British guy (65) I was taught all this at school. Britain banned slavery throughout the British Empire (a large part of the known world) in 1807. They set up a squadron of ships to stop the Atlantic slave trade and another squadron of ships to stop the Indian Ocean slave trade all paid for out of tax money. Many men and British ships were lost as the British attacked ships carrying slaves and released the slaves. This was our reparations paid over many years.
Until 2014 I think.
I had no idea I mean my head is spinning
I also learned this in school . I'm 62 and have been so disappointed how the slave trade has been hijacked by woke youth who have no idea of the real truth
Mr. Thomas Sowell is a very intelligent man. A fine and honest man. I love listening to him on any subject.
Indeed.
AGREED!!!!
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
Thomas Sowell admitted to being a Marxist when he was young. He also said he was wrong for being a Marxist. Thomas Sowell is a very honest, intelligent and down to earth person. I wish that I was more like him.
He's brilliant and unfortunately there's a lot of black people who want to call him and Uncle Tom because he doesn't suit their narrative
I remember being suspended from school for stating this truth 20+ years ago
I was a history major in college and learned about this in an early American history class in my junior year. I don't remember hearing about this in any of previous classes. Seems like all humanity participated in slave trades since dawn of time. Thank you Dr. Sowell.
You know what just came to mind is that although the complete truth about slavery ( in U.S. public schools) wasn’t/isn’t fully revealed in certain world history studies it inadvertently is. For example, the Egyptians having slaves, the Aztecs not uniting the 100+tribes they conquered, mentioning some Native American tribes that took slaves as well. But they don’t tend to put any advanced focus & discussions on it.
@@joelplatt3396 I've wondered this also and I have come to the conclusion that in certain regions there just aren't any historical recordings offering decent detail. There is enough to figure out much of it but I do't know what it might take to get the 'absolute truth' of every occurrence of enslavement.
The Public education system has purposely and intentionally hid the truth from us.
Yes it was slavery was before Jesus was born. However, it still does not make it right and maybe you are just hearing this is because it’s not true do more research
@@jerryalston8346 Yes there was slavery before Jesus was born = okay you are correct.

You see I am one of hte few who DID READ books and have always enjoyed American history and World history as well. SO why don't you enlighten us Jerry about what really happened and who or what I should research to gain THE TRUTH.
I am a 69 year old white man, and I never heard or was taught any of this. Can you imagine the difference in race relations if we had all been taught this many years ago. You seem like a wonderful young woman and I appreciate you taking the time to watch this. God bless you!!
I too am in my sixties and 25+yrs ago dated a wonderful black woman, while we never married (should have but for other issues) the issue of slavery certainly didn't help especially given she believed slavery was fueled by white slavers raiding African coastal villages.
I'm in my mid 40's and knew this since I was in elementary school. I'm shocked that you where not taught this. Really it only takes a little research to find this out.
@@cillerbeez5892 schools pushing a narrative, and there's an awful lot of poorly educated parents who entrust these schools to give their child a good education which they personally can't. I think all parents should educate themselves and their children by homeschooling them and looking much deeper into topics than schools ever do. If you think about it, you only ever need to be one step ahead your child, so it's really not hard as long as your willing to get the books and educate yourself, which everybody should, because knowledge is power. But then we'd need households with both parents which is largely unheard of these days, and either a mother, or father who's willing to educate their child as well as their self alongside the regular day to day chores. But society wants both parents working to the bone spending as little time with their children as possible to pay taxes, and the kids in school being bombarded with whatever narrative they wish to push at the time, and teaching them to be compliant in all aspects of life and respect "authority figures" regardless of whether you know them, or what you know about them, you have to do as you're told, that's life.. that's why the world is such a shit show right now and will only continue to get worse until there's rioting in the streets when people eventually wake up lol

In 1833, Britain used 40% of its national budget to buy freedom for all slaves of the Empire. Britain borrowed such a large sum of money for the slaver Abolition Act that it wasnt paid off until 2014. This means that living British Citizens helped pay for the ending of the slave trade with their taxes.
To whom was this paid ?
@Frigger20 To the owners of the slaves. A long-held rule of law is that the government is obligated to compensate citizens if the government takes their property, literally or constructively. The 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires compensation for a government taking. This was a point of debate before the U.S. Civil War when abolition by legal means, rather than war, was discussed.
Yes, it was THE BRITISH THAT FOUGHT AGAINST SLAVERY AROUND THE WORLD, WE DID HERE AT HOME, EVENTUALLY, BUT WE HAD TO WAIT OUR LOSE THE COUNTRY SO.. YES IT SHOULD HAVE COME SOONER BUT IT DID COME...

I’m in my 60s, educated in the 70s and 80s. This has always been my understanding of slavery, which sadly, still exists today in all races. None of it to do with racism, it’s about power and control over another human being. Thank you for sharing your reaction lovely lady 🥰
One other thing: whether it was white on white, black on black or whatever slavery, it was the elite minority who had slaves.
As today, it is the few who held the power and wealth while the vast majority simply lived their lives trying to support their families.
I was taught this in Junior High School 1968. It's sad that so many don't believe what was going on before they came to the USA. It is true, slavery had nothing to do with color of the skin!
I was also in junior high in 1968. We had great teachers back then. They just gave us the true facts, and didn't put any political ideology spin on anything. It's a shame what the public school system has become.
not till the1800s anyway. I love Thomas Sowell. smart man.
@@rodjohnson2632 It wasn't until I got to Junior High School and Social Studies that I leaned about our Government. Social Studies and History were the same class.

It's not the Best country and it ranks in the top of one of the most corrupt. What our Government has done would get some in other countries hung. Sadly, Tar and Feathering is no longer acceptable.
As far as I can tell it was in the late 80's when they stopped teaching the truth about slavery.
Strange how it in the USA was ONLY blacks who were slaves. Yes in other parts of the world all races were enslaved at some point. But in the U.S. it was always only black people! Even the Chinese who built the railroads got paid and was free to quit. Sowell has made a lot of money by telling racists that they aren't racists.
I am Irish and I found out just the other say that the Irish were actually the first slaves brought to the new world. It was mind blowing.
True
Irish were sent to Jamaica as well as slaves.
Irish were the first indentured servants but nearly all the slaves were black. There is an important distinction there.
Indentured is misleading. Yes, they would earn their freedom after a certain amount of time but during the time they were not paid but were responsible for feeding, clothing and sheltering themselves and their families. So, they had to ‘borrow’ from the contract holders. They then had to remain working until that was paid off.
@@kathym8223 Again true facts that don't paint the whole picture. Black slaves were treated more cruelly than white indentured servants. For example, black slaves were subjected to slave breeding farms. Were white indentured servants bred?
Thank you I shared with my two nieces that are stuck on the slavery and the BLM. They don’t know all the truth and need to learn it
Have they learnt about the white slavery too?
So they're worried about slavery in America then? Then the rest if this doesn't matter to the story they're worried about.
In America Americans made choices to enslave other Americans. What someone halfway across the world was doing simply didn't matter.
In America people seceded specifically to keep African enslaved.
In America, when the trans-Atlantic trade was banned, America had chattel slavery for another 60 years.
All you have to do is tell me how any of these "truths" of yours matter when an American talks about slavery in America.
Go on. Make your argument.
@@gabemore1766 When did Americans secede to keep white people enslaved?
@@gabemore1766The white slavery that was prevalent in the US? When was that?
In the ancient times 3500-555bc Greeks sold european slaves to Kemet, to Ethiopia, and Ethiopia sold Meunites to Kemet, to Greece. A vicious circle.
I’m Slavic Eastern European we where enslaved by the Turks. This is correct it isn’t about race it’s about gaining free labor and it’s wrong anywhere in the world. The divisions need to stop. I believe we where miss taught for the purpose of creating hate. The hate needs to stop. Thank you for sharing this information with others. When the truth comes out hopefully we can put our differences aside and just love one another.
Amen to that
The cruel irony is that this divide and conquer narrative is used by the descendants of the kind of people who benefited from slavery. The rich, the powerful they don't care about anyone but themselves.
The Anglosphere world wants to spread its guilt to everyone else- Slavs & Germans had no colonial or slavery history.
@@damonmelendez856 It is the Globalists who are spreading this self hating ideology. The Anglosphere has been taken over by the Globalists who are trying to bring about the NWO one world government digital slave system. All of this division and hate is orchestrated by them through their total control of the media and their infiltration of the universities #Cultural Marxism. Once enough people realise who the Globalists are we will be able to stop this evil hand that has pupetteered this world from the shadows for centuries.
👍 Did you know that the Germanic tribes went to war with the Slavs for centuries, taking each other for slaves? The term slave actually derives from the name Slavs!
Also, until ca. 1870, most European and Russian peasants were bonded farmers, so-called unfree serfs almost like slaves. So probably around 70 % of the population.
This video needs to be played on every electronic billboard, and in every classroom in the United States. ASAP.
I was taught this in school. Don’t know why others don’t know this. When did they change it?
@jackiestowe6987 For a variety of reasons, but I think the main reason is control of the blacks. The Democrats have a lock on the black voters. Interesting that the Democrats were/are the party of Slavery, AND they control most of the school boards in this country. Kinda adds up, in my mind.
Why?
@@jackiestowe6987 I graduated in 2015 in the southern US & we sure weren't taught this. My parents had to explain this to us because they were taught the truth in school. No telling what they're teaching now... it's probably even worse now
I was taught this in school, but public schools seem to no longer teach things which don't support their agenda.
I happened to find this, as I greatly admire Thomas Sowell. I thank you for taking the time to listen to a different narrative, and get the truth. Slavery was a dark time in the US, but we fought to end it. Our relationships between the races was a a good place until a few years ago, when DEI came the craze. These people have broke us into races and want us not to get along. I grew up in the 80s and i had friends of all races, we didnt see color. Now that is the first thing they want us to see. I refuse to do it....I pray for the day we can live in MLK s dream.
The reaction of the young lady to the truth about slavery is wonderful. The realization that she has been misled about the history of slavery is i believe a revelation to her. We need more young people like this look beyond the existing narrative and discover the truth
God bless this woman.
As a white Man I just want to say... what a Beautiful Lady.
I am so sick of all the time we as a species have wasted on hating one another. It is really stupid. Think of how much real progress that has been lost to all of this political division. It needs to stop. We have children to raise, teach them to love one another.
Agree 100 percent
Children are instinctively loving. Differences in race, religion, social status, is taught to them. Children don't see color or worn clothes. They see the beautiful spirit within.
So why don't we try to learn from and emulate the children. If we did, there would be peace on earth
@@katekelley7430 Absolutely! We can learn so much from these young ones.
It still doesn't exclude how the the transatlantic slaves were treated by white slave owners...
@T-Bone Morphius You are correct. There was abusive behavior but not all owners were like that. There were also white transatlantic slaves--we never heard about them.
I learned this in the 5th grade. “Roots” is the worst thing that happened to racial relations.
Feed lies to people tend to do that
eh, Roots might have started it but I'm still sure O'bummer takes the cake.
Ummm, no. Look into the black experience post civil war. Much more death and horror because they had nobody to protect them from the Jim Crow racists. Racism and economic exclusion in the north, along with violence, was also a factor in todays race relations.
@@UpYourArsenal'Up your Arsenal?' 'O'bummer?' You seem to have a bit of an obsession going on there.
@@kevanwillis4571 Accurate name for the man given all he did.
Don't forget, when you look at white men, at least half of them have families who fought and died to free slaves. People like my relatives from Ohio fought for slaves to be freed from the South. My Great Uncle had numerous black employees. He has a story of them even pressing to get paid more, so everyone (including whites) got paid more. That's not slave behavior. The North didn't hate blacks. I have family who lost businesses and lives fighting against slavery in the U. S. When you look at white men, at least half of them have families who fought and died to free slaves.
Me too. And yet we are hated equally. Unbelievable 🤦
@@pitchforkpeasant6219 the Left has motivation to keep racism stirred up... it's sad. I don't even really blame individuals, when whole school systems are training kids to think black vs white.
I am 71yrs old and feel blessed to have heard Thomas Sowell speak on roughly 6 or 7 different occasions and each time I was captivated by this mans mastery at presenting the truth and then chuckle with his keen intellect at the foolishness so many people have been led to believe for so long. I say learn the truth, cutting the chains that bind us so we may all live to embrace each other.
He supports your narrative,but truth be told he was a sellout! 😢
Trying to wake people is worthless everyone has their own divine time of waking up to reality aka the red pill moment, and there is a choice to be made whether you ignore it or not. Creating content for the curious is pristine.

@@loriokoh6918 Who did he sell out to?
Exactly as you said, other sold their own race to anyone who had the money. I love Thomas Sowell's writing and work on exposing the truth, he's a brilliant man!
One thing I discovered while looking into slavery was that there were actually black slave owners in America who owned white slaves, this blew my mind.
It only blew your mind because it goes against the manufactured narrative trying to divide us and keep us fighting amongst ourselves.
Yeahhhhhhh the biggest slave owner in Texas history was actually a black man. Blew my mind back when I learned that one
Native Americans too
I recently listened to a Muslim religious leader praising slavery. I find it appalling that young people are treated horribly, with low wages because they have no experience (which no one really gives them anymore, in schools) and he praises slavery. 🤢
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. I have followed him for years because he strives to find truth. Slavery is a crime of opportunity. One of the most degrading and vicious crimes in world history. I am so glad you found Dr. Sowell. God Bless.
And today we are in as bad state of international slavery as we've ever been in considering that it's biggest purpose is sex slavery of children oftentimes to the elite of the elites! Pray to God Almighty, the all seeing eye, for the evil deeds to be exposed and taken down! God help us to extinguish modern day slavery!!!
I'm a 40 year old portuguese and I remember learning these facts in school until my early teens, but then the narrative began to change and historical facts became infamous racist propaganda and, by the time I left school, it was completely assimilated into the general youth and society.
It's really mind-boggling how "they" are able to rewrite humanity's collective memory in less than a generation.
Interesting. Because here in Holland "they" entered universities with the purpose to "march through the institutions" about 1982. I thought they would not succeed, but I completely underestimated the cowardness in academia. So they had hardly any opposition. And about 10 years later secondary school teachers thaught THEIR version of history.
The most shocking thing about this video is that the true history of slavery is not being taught in schools anymore. I'm 61 and we learned all this in middle and high school.
Same, I’m 58.
I'm 46 and when I was in grade school, it was already white man bad.
Being forced to watch Roots over and over again in school was nothing but propaganda brainwashing. The word slaves comes from the Slavic nation. Millions of whites under Muslim slavery. It’s not a black and white topic at all. But because of the schools brainwashing programs the easy to manipulate group (which is the majority) to believe in lies. This is systemic . It’s not just slavery
I'm 49 and remember this. Our schools have gone way down.
I grew up in Germany. We had history in school from the caveman on up
So basically, slavery didn't come from racism; racism came from slavery?
My grandma always taught me that PEOPLE are wicked, no matter where they come from or where they are going.
But where evil abounds, goodness is what springs forth.
Thank you for your sweet spirit and willingness to be open to the truth. White people don’t hate black people, you all are our brothers and sisters in Christ. God bless you.
You are correct. I don’t hate black people or any people.

Thomas Sowell is one of the most articulate, brilliant historians of our age. He was not a historian by trade but an economist who was/is very disturbed and depressed by the trend back towards racial segregation we have been experiencing in the last 20 years. I always wonder why people behave as if segregation instead of equality is better, but not knowing actual history may be the reason.
It may be because we suffer less damage and brain washing when we stick to our own. I grew up surrounded by whites, and although they are mostly polite to your face, things happen behind your back, and under the radar.. If we had our own communities like"WALL STREET" , our children would not have to feel compared to others and judged, or blamed unjustly. and they would have role models in their own community.
No I don't believe that. It is shat you have been taught!
Sowell is a brilliant man, probably one of the most important figures of the last century for critical thinking. This information has been available for a long time but has been kept suppressed by special interest organizations.
Thank you for having an open heart and being willing to learn. Slavery is horrible - no matter where in history it is found. We are blessed by you.
This was actually taught at one time in public schools, it was slowly changed omitting the parts that didn't fit the victim narrative.
I'm not so sure this was taught in the US school system for the most part... I had to access the encyclopedias we had at home and I would hit the libraries and bring book(s) home on a given subject. For my generation, I would say that 90% saw it the way it was put down in "Roots" = which was by and large accurate but it was also a work of fiction.
I remember learning this in school, it was 5th or 6th grade I believe, I'm 42 now. I believe our youth are taught such a watered down version of history, American or otherwise. I have always been a firm believer that our children need to be taught the truth, all of it, the good, the bad and the ugly.
I was raised in Tulsa Oklahoma and as a kid with older parents I asked about a rumored "race riot" for years. No one knew a thing, so later in life I found a book on it and researched it. A few years later the story breaks national as the "Tulsa Race Massacre" and I honestly didn't recognize it. The national news proclaimed that there were three hundred dead, when everything I had seen recorded less than twenty. There was no mention of the build up to what happened, stories about people who were there, they even failed to mention the first black deputy Barney Cleaver who was on site when the whole thing sparked off. And this is what they teach in schools here today. The sad thing is, the history leading up to what happened and the aftermath is every bit as interesting as the pogrom itself.
@@killgorian131
What they never mention is that previous to the transatlantic crossing there was no negative interactions as such between Europeans and Sub Saharans.
And also that the original plan of the Europeans was to hire people from India. However they were Conn-vinced instead to take slaves with the lure of a one time pay.
@@onlythetruth883 I was never taught anything about slavery that I remember on any real international level, only as it pertained to America. I came from the 47th worst educated state in the US. What I do know is slavery is as old as human history.
False history has been taught for years.😢
I’m not 42 I’m 60 I learned this from the early 1970s
I'm a 60 year old white man, I am so proud of you for watching this and reacting to this. I really enjoyed it 😊😊
They left out the bit where British white folks got paid BILLIONS in todays money for freeing slaves. So, in fact, slaves WERE seen by the white British government as human cattle. Incidentally those who brought in the Act of Parliament were slave-owners themselves. So they paid THEMSELVES. lol. I hope I haven't upset a 60 yrear old who should have known this stuff.
I’m so happy to see us educating ourselves and spreading the truth ❤ love this
I’m from Europe and it’s crazy how my country doesn’t talk about the slavery of my people. Zero. I didn’t know until I just happened to come across some of the history. But in a way I’m glad, I didn’t grow up with hatred nor feeling like I can’t do something because of slavery. But then again history is important.
Thomas Sowell is the GOAT and a national freaking treasure. He was the first seed planted in my young liberal brain that broke me free from blindly following entrenched narratives. I first heard him speak about the gender pay gap and listened to try to disprove his position. I could not disprove it, and instead walked away realizing I had been indoctrinated my whole life. That day began my intellectual discovery and evolution.
You were listening to the wrong person, Thomas Sowell was an Oreo!
@@loriokoh6918 huh? Not sure what your implying, but it sounds racist like you're calling him a "coon" for not towing the line on narratives driven by ideologues and hustlers.
I first ran into Dr.Sowell when I wanted to learn more about how the various subcultures in America came to be. I bought a book called “Ethnic America”, which was a very scholarly book that answered a ton of questions about how not only African but Irish, German, Italian, Jewish and other American subcultures came to America. All of them had similar paths where they were rejected and feared by the people living in America when they first arrived, then slowly integrated until they went from pariahs to leaders and pillars of American society.
Then, when I read more of Dr. Sowell’s work, I became shocked to find that African Americans were on the same trajectory in the mid twentieth century when, of all things, the Great Society programs halted their growth. I grew up thinking these were good things… giving people who were disadvantaged resources needed to keep above water and give them a chance. But the facts were undeniable… African Americans actually suffered family destruction and reversal on all economic trends that halted their upward path for decades. It was like my whole worldview was hit by a massive sledgehammer of truth. Dr. Sowell is a genius, and his logic and scholarship impeccable. And he showed me that if African Americans are victims of something, its worst victimhood was from programs made to help them by well-meaning fools.

I am 61 I know the truth too. One of our state parks near my home. Was owned by a black woman and she owned slaves. So our state park use to give tours about it. Plus when I was very young an elderly woman who was a slave on the plantation had been to the plantation and talked about her memory from the plantation. 😊
Thank you for posting this. It is eye opening, that slavery was a predatory act ir conquest of the fitest vs the meek and not a race based hate. So interesting.
