      Arabs enslaved White Europeans up until the 18oo's. Slavery was the norm during most of history and is still practiced in some African countries even today. Slavery on an industrial scale did not arise until the invention of the cotton gin in the early 1800's by Eli Whitney. That set off a cotton "gold rush" to acquire negros. It was short-lived but devastating. We will be punished unto 100 generations because we were Christians and knew better. That just shows how greed will always triumph over religion.

Due to the forced relationship on slave women by slave owners, it's likely that you also have European ancestry. In addition, note that having some African ancestry doesn't necessarily mean you will be classified as Black in Africa. Of course, anyone is likely to be accepted in most places if he has enough money and/or political influence.

    I grew up in Gainesville in the 1960's. In fact we rented one of the red brick homes on 17th Street the main entrance to the University of Florida. The homes were owned by Mrs. Stringfellow. I went to school with her granddaughter. I knew the Chestnut family. In fact I was almost related to them by marriage. Black folks were almost invisible back then. My parents managed the Gainesville Nursing Center out in the boonies out on SW 19th Ave. There was a very small settlement of Black folks living on what would be the busy SW 20th Ave. I imagine these folks had been there since slavery days. This video truly brings back memories. You did a fantastic job.

It’s amazing because the enslaved’s population in North America compared to other countries that held plantations for African enslavement, differed greatly due to how they imported the enslaved, gender of whom they kidnapped, birth mortality rate, climate, and disease that were much more rampant and prevalent in those humid areas. So, it is definitely a wonder. However, it is horrible that Africa and some countries are affected more by climate change and hot temperatures because of other leading countries in gas emission.

      Joel 3: 3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
      4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O TYRE, and ZIDON, and all the coasts of PALESTINE? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
      5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
      6 The CHILDREN also of JUDAH and the CHILDREN of JERUSALEM HAVE YE SOLD UNTO the GRECIANS, that ye might remove them far from their border.

    My great grandmother was a milk mammy to a bunch of her enslaved friends. Cajun women were treated one degree better so she was able to have better milk production than her close friends.
    The enslaved women would do all of this secretly because they may have all been killed for a white skinned woman to have a beautiful black baby latched on her tit for nutrition.
    The diet's of those women were poor on purpose.

And the windows of board. Wish i could walk that old house today. Of course, it has long been torn down.

If you go back to your great, great grandparents there are 16, go to your sixth great grandparents there are 256. Reaching your eighth great grandparents the figure is 1,024.

    Everyone has their own thoughts on this. I think that is a good, thing, But all this vitriol is not required. Not everyone s in the same space and some have read more than others. But I think tha aim of the vidoe is to share some information. How you take it is up to each of us. but this back-and-forth being so negative is not worth it. There may be some history scholars on here, but I doubt it because they would not engage in the negative back-and-forth. be glad you have a platform like this to get exposed to information in video form, because if it is just in a book, not as many of us would have access to it, because it is not in the schools and we would not know the author's name.
    A few always try to screw it up for the rest.
    There is a book released in 1989 by Murray Gordon titled " Slavery in the Arab World" that presents some information.
    I think every group of humans at some point indulged in the slavery of everyone they could. So sometimes there just are no good Guys And Gals. But we agree to disagree without mirroring and election campaign.

      Speak it Right. It is not "white" history it is colonial history. Spain. Portugal, and the countries around the Mediterranean were NOT white. They were heavily influenced by the Ottoman Empire. The modern slave trade was brought about by the Doctrine of Discovery written by the Pope in early 1400's. It is this document. From the Catholic Church that granted permission for their state governments to steal the people and resources of earth, because it was all made by God. Since they were the right hand of God all resources belonged to them. They said, "If you are not white and Catholic you are no HUMAN. Except for the Irish, who were white and Catholic. And we're the first slaves sold at auction on the "New World" auction blocks. They were the Irish freedom fighters, who fought with great courage against the invasion of the English. They were captured, shipped to U.S. sold at auction and died terrible deaths as slaves.

    This documentary is already questionable when she said most mid slaves came from Africa it’s been documented that less than 100K slaves canes to this country. What she is not saying we were already here in this country and we were called Indians. Spain did not believe in slavery when they defeated the Moors in 1491. The slave ship that is shown is BS there were NO ships of that size in addition how can they packed 200-300 slaves on a voyage that would last 8-12 weeks and survive the voyage logically doesn’t make sense. I will agree some slaves were shipped here however we we already here.
    Most of the people that came from South Carolina were Huguenots who were Melanated people originally from France.
    Lastly these documentary and movies always put us as mild and meek people and slaves but that’s not true the Gullah people constantly fought the oppressor.
