I can't tell you how many arguments I've had with my family because they still think the Roma were just serfs. Nothing I say will make them listen to me because I've lived in California for almost 20 years and I haven't gone to school in Romania since I left Romania after 6th grade. They just refuse to accept that a lot of things taught in Romanian history classes are simply not accurate. They don't understand that there is a difference between history textbooks in Romanian at least the ones I had in school between 1999-2005 (which lack references- most American textbooks have a long list of citations at the end of the textbook) and primary sources. It is enraging!
I wasn't taught this until college and even then it was very minimal. We were taught that the original slaves were Eastern Europeans and they were called Slavs.
Race based slavery gotta be one of the worst, most disgusting things invented! Imagine becoming a slave from the day of your birth simply because you were of a different ethnic group! Be seen as property and treated as less than human no less!
Nope, romani history and indian history is related. Indians are brown skinned people and Romanis orginated from central india and from central india they migrated and mixed with northwestern india and then you know they went to europe
@@Mohammad_faizan_rajputh yeah, but the common denominator appears to be anti-blackness (the darker your skin, the further from human they view you to be). Although different terms have been applied to specify where certain brown folks come from, the overall sentiment from white Europeans is the same.
For those not paying attention to the video, they do explain the difference between the race based/chattle slavery of more recent times vs the slavery of antiquity.

Excellent topic! A friend of mine is a 4th or 5th great-grandson of Lyman Beecher through one of his sons making him a several greats grandnephew of Harriet Beecher Stowe. I didn’t know her book also changed the course of slavery in Eastern Europe too.

And what people still seem to want to ignore (perhaps this is a bit off-topic, I know) is that slavery ending first became conceivable not when the abolitionist movement start in England d(and no I'm not saying the abolitionist movement in England should be overlooked or forgotten, or that we should downplay the Civil War, but the idea that slavery could end and was wrong didn't start until after the slave rebellion in Haiti.

You have as much say as you want. You have a right to your opinion on any subject. That is free speech. No one can say you don't because your view may be correct. Whoever says you don't have any say is racist. I think you may be correct about slavery being able to end due to the Haitian Revolution since that was the first case of slaves becoming free.
Hi Florian, do you have any data whether Roma slavery was practiced in the Ottoman empire (Rumelian part / modern Bulgaria) as well? I found a really detailed book on the topic of the institutions of slavery in the Ottoman empire, but I can't find any mentions of Roma slavery but plenty of foreigners to the Ottoman empire, including Vlachs/Romanians
I have a question and I don’t mean to offend if it’s offensive. But has there ever been a movement for the Roma people to rediscover their roots in their original homeland in India. Kind of like how a lot of African Americans and Caribbean people are moving back to the place where their original tribe was.. I’ve watched a few of your videos so I know that Romani people have a nomad culture so I wondered if there wasn’t if movement like that if that was the reason
Honestly watch african americans in africa is like watching a 5 year old discover a toilet flushes😂 I saw a video posted on a south African meme page of an African American get surprised we can make in land beaches

Am sorry but I disagree - before that in Eastern Europe there was a different type of slavery going on - from enslaving Slavs, which even gave origin to the word slave as they were the resource for slaves both for Christians and Muslims since they were different - pagans. And I guess even that is not the first slavery system occurring
indeed, something to consider, since most romani slaves where enslaved by the ottomans... also the romania and trasnitria and moldova where essentially ottoman vassals

They were not ensIaving people based on race, (a concept which was invented in Medieval Europe) nor did they practice chattel slavery, please listen beyond the first few words because it literally said that there were earlier forms of European slavery and why it is different from those forms
@@florida.florian Chattel slavery was practised in places such as the Roman Empire and classical Greece, check the wikipedia. And often it was people different nation or race that they captured in wars. It doesn't make slavery of Romani people less horrible and bad.
@@NhatMaisq1wg, nope, because of the fear of rebellions, so men were castrated. Allowing male slaves to be able to reproduce was historically very unusual. The Mamuluks in Egypt were a mixture of Greek and other European Muslim slaves that rebelled and took over Egypt from the Arabs, but the Mamuluks were already culturally assimilated into the Arab culture to actually make any difference in the region. This is an example of why castration of male slaves happened, and why it is unusual to breed slaves. European Americans were largely fortunate to not have mass rebellions, only within the Caribbean such rebellions were successful.
Rumunia not Romania 🤣 90% of the Rumunians are Slavic/Germanic they dont got nothing Latin in there Blood 🤣 so how in the Hell the use this name "Romania" ???? HOW ????

The first known example of slavery was by an ancient king named Nimrod. You might have heard of him from the bible. While it is unknown what race he was specifically every supposed reincarnation of him was black. He is primarily known for being Atheist and hunting humans for sport. While the term "slave" was not used in ancient times, these humans he hunted were obviously not being hunted willingly. Most historians agree they were likely slaves captured in battle. Since most ancient wars were fought civilization against civilization it is very likely that Nimrod primarily enslaved members of other races. If the existence of Nimrod is historically accurate he would have live between 2,800 BCE and 2,100 BCE, or 4.1 - 4.8 thousand years ago.
Did we say first example of slavery? no. Please listen to the video instead of interpreting it your own way, we said first example of race based slavery done by Europeans, Nimrod was not a European nor did the concept of race as we understand it today exist in that time
@@lbarnx Nobody said that it is excuse of any sort. They just pointed to the fact that slavery was not invention towards Romani people and that chattel slavery also existed before medieval times. Just correcting history facts, not excusing anything.
@@julianspaghi4592 Because that is the only reason some people do any research about slavery. Apparently thinking that every country/person isn't responsible for their own decisions.
what about race based do you not understand? Race as a concept was created in medieval Europe and this was the first instance of it being used a justification by Europeans to enslave a population and view them as not human but property.
Romania is an Eastern European country and they are primarily white. Roma people are from India originally but traveled to many European countries including Romania where they were enslaved. Soms European countries believed them to be from Africa due to their darker skin which is where "g*psy" comes from because they believed they cane from Egypt. That was not accurate though
@@Teajay21 I am a Roma person from Romania (Constanța), I was just very confused by whatever that other person was saying (just trying to get them to explain it... because, yes, it sounded like BS).
If you actually listened to the video, we acknowledged that there were earlier forms of slavery in Europe, this was the first time that race was specifically used as a justification for slavery and that someone’s race automatically made them a slave, Roman slavery was not based on race
That is not even true. What could possibly be worse than being born into slavery, having no control over you or your children's lives, and never being free? Brutality, r@pe, and murder are the hallmarks of chattel slavery.
@@NhatMaisq1wg but the roma did not want to be converted, from what i know romani where largely enslaved by the ottomans for their craftmanship, (not their skin color)
Do you know without the hatred without the racism without a country we would just be like everyone else .i wouldnt be able to be at one with nature my ancestors wouldnt be able to guide me in life i wouldnt be able to have heart and love for any child .the bad things you do in life will affect your children the bad things you do will stop your ancestors from guiding and keeping your family safe . the muller waits for you when you die not your ancestors .be good love nature help anyone who is worser off in life then your self never judge a poor help .you will sleep better and your ancestors will always be waiting for you when your time comes .the next life is as good as this life for the good man .all the peoples you have lost freinds family your great grandparents you may never have seen and lots you have seen .being a good man allows you to then wait for the ones that havd lost you .most english gypsys lived this way for a thousand years or more . This is what separates the english gypsys they never have wanted to be part of society .

@@florida.florian bullshit, the idea of race and diferences bewteen "our people" "their people" is as ancient as humans
Romania was dark skin with kinky hair as afrikans,before they calim they were indians.
What do you even mean?
Romania is an Eastern European country and they are primarily white. Roma people are from India originally but traveled to many European countries including Romania where they were enslaved. Soms European countries believed them to be from Africa due to their darker skin which is where "g*psy" comes from because they believed they cane from Egypt. That was not accurate though
@@Teajay21 I am a Roma person from Romania (Constanța), I was just very confused by whatever that other person was saying (just trying to get them to explain it... because, yes, it sounded like BS).
@SaevaKali yes I mean to reply to the Original comment because it seemed very confused!
Romanians are white!!! Romania it’s a country in Eastern Europe!! Leave our country alone we are not Africans or Indians !!
You guys know slavery was common in the Roman Empire right?
If you actually listened to the video, we acknowledged that there were earlier forms of slavery in Europe, this was the first time that race was specifically used as a justification for slavery and that someone’s race automatically made them a slave, Roman slavery was not based on race
So, "they did it too" is a good excuse for horrible behavior, is something Europeans should not be saying around the people they have victimized.
To be fair, unemployment was less of an issue.
No
😐
Adolf Hitler-ass comment
Europeans didn't start slavery we ended it.
Wasn't that actually Haiti?
@@HiddenPulse04 No it wasnt
@@V.T.1989 You sure?
@@HiddenPulse04 Yea I'm sure.
@@V.T.1989 Explain
Not even close to the early forms of slavery lmao
RACE BASED, please listen, not the earliest form of sIavery, the video literally says there were earlier forms of slavery and serfdom in Europe
That is not even true. What could possibly be worse than being born into slavery, having no control over you or your children's lives, and never being free? Brutality, r@pe, and murder are the hallmarks of chattel slavery.
Nope
Tf you mean "nope"?
From people that love to leave evidence of EVERYTHING that they do, denial is ridiculous.
YEP.
Did the ottomans not enslave roma people then?
They allowed Christian Roma to be enslaved European buyers, but not Muslim Roma.
No. Once Roma converted to Islam they wouldn’t be enslaved.
@@NhatMaisq1wg but the roma did not want to be converted, from what i know romani where largely enslaved by the ottomans for their craftmanship, (not their skin color)
Do you know without the hatred without the racism without a country we would just be like everyone else .i wouldnt be able to be at one with nature my ancestors wouldnt be able to guide me in life i wouldnt be able to have heart and love for any child .the bad things you do in life will affect your children the bad things you do will stop your ancestors from guiding and keeping your family safe . the muller waits for you when you die not your ancestors .be good love nature help anyone who is worser off in life then your self never judge a poor help .you will sleep better and your ancestors will always be waiting for you when your time comes .the next life is as good as this life for the good man .all the peoples you have lost freinds family your great grandparents you may never have seen and lots you have seen .being a good man allows you to then wait for the ones that havd lost you .most english gypsys lived this way for a thousand years or more . This is what separates the english gypsys they never have wanted to be part of society .
