Be so proud! I'm Irish descent and my ancestors caught hell too. PEOPLE HAVE INALIENABLE RIGHTS GIVEN them by the good Lord. Serfs, indentured servants, and both commercial as well as chattel slavery be accursed
I can't believe the Europeans had a church above that building and innocent Africans as captives below that building. The question I am asking is who were they praying to.? Is it the same God who died on the cross for us? It is impossible, a God fearing person would not capture human beings against their will and put them through such pain and grief. This was the highest act of crime against human beings.
@@joanphinmorvan4566 exactly and we can't be sure even if that "God" is true because as Africans we had a different belief system which still does exist even today but surely this God and the bible was introduced by Europeans in Africa as a weapon to steal from them and claim everything that an African person owns. Even Mathematics is originally from Africa but Greeks and other early travellers stole it from Africa, twisted the true history and today teach lie about our human history
@@Laura.da78 the irish are always trying to put themselves in the same boat but they never suffered nowhere near as harsh as so called Africans. The Irish had Haitians under slavery do your research
I can only imagine the pain and humiliation our ancestors had to go through. Their tears are everlasting their cries unending melodies and their sad saga forever embedded in our history
Yeah I think about the white Europeans taken from there villages on mass up to the 17th century that eventuality led to those Europeans learning the trade of the African Moors and dominating at there game , so much so that Europeans are blamed solely for the triangle slave trade while in was infact African people who would kill and enslave there own people and export them across Africa for sale to the highest bidder which at one time happened to be the Europeans and not the usual customer , the Islamic empire. But what you forget about is , that it was white people that banned slavery and put there people into intergenerational dept to enforce the abolishment of the practice, so eh thanks for that white ancestors , I'd suggest you should be grateful for those people too, as with out them slavery wasn't going to stop and in fact still hasn't stopped in Africa. Oh well!
@@cultusgti ofcourse you would blame it entirely on the African system coz European s were innocent bystanders victims also in this slave trade. Poor poor Europeans. We owe them an apology T.F
Atleast United Kingdom had no part in it. We abolished slavery and we did that without any external tension. Condolences to all who lost their lives ❤️. Your voices are still heard.
Ms. Badawai does a superb job narrating all her discoveries... makes every thing so clear and precise... the horrors our ancestors endured... so terrible.... so sad... yet... still they rose and survived....
And also while the Constitution proclaimed that Blacks were 1/5th of a human being. And it states it to this day. It has never been changed Amended or ratified.
At 0:04 seconds, how does a documentary about black slavery start with Islamic script and a guy in Arab garments? 🤔. Mass enslavement of black people started with the Arabs, culminating in the revolution of the Zanj (bantu people in Eastern Africa) in the 8th century. Condensed version here : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanj_Rebellion. Thank me later
@Cee Moran Agreed! As an African, one has to be suspicious about this sudden interest by the BBC, which is one of the tools of white supremacy, in jumping on the wave of black people globally awakening to their history, along the lines of 'if you can't beat them, join them, but insert your own propaganda for good measure'. This feigned benevolence in documenting African history is clear for us to see.
Some of the images are so painful but I will not cry. I am Cameroonian and have shared this powerful broadcast with my three extremely Afrocentric children born in the USA. Our history. Our Roots, home of our ancestors.

Most of the Political parties around the Middle East using the mindset of Colonizer countries to make their population couldn't open their eyes and mind . They use them as they want They use them as they desire They use them as they plan .. .. .. Thanks alot Ms Zainab Badawi for the amazing documentary Programme about Africa 🌍 Love you all African Countries ❤️
I am a Jamaican and I hope some of my fellow Jamaicans are watching and also other from the Caribbean to how our enslavers have churches above the slave castles.
@@DeeDarlingthat's so true, If you ask the chinese Jamaican he proudly tells you that he is of chinese descent, the East Indian and European Jamaican the same thing, we are the only race that does not appreciate who we are. When the question was posed to Marcus Garvey on whether he is Jamaican or African, Marcus Garvey replied by saying that he would never give up a continent for an island.
34:26 I respect Prof. Hoff's honesty concerning the role that Africans played in the slave trade. This narrative that most of us blacks have in the U.S. that Africans were kidnapped by Europeans and sold into slavery must die because for the most part that wasn't the reality. Europeans could not have enslaved Africans without cooperation from other Africans. Acknowledging the role Africans played in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade obviously does not absolve Europeans of any accountability for the role they played and their mistreatment of the slaves once they were sold into their hands. We just need to be honest about what happened regardless of how uncomfortable some truths may be
THE VIEWS OF MOSES MAIMONIDES “Those who are incapable of attaining to supreme religious values include the BLACK coloured people and those who resemble them in their climates. Their nature is like the MUTE ANIMALS. Their level among existing things is below that of a man and above that of a monkey.” (Maimonides, Guide To The Perplexed, Translation from the Hebrew Version) In the Jewish Bible there are Hebrew slaves and non-Hebrew slaves. Leviticus 25:45 teaches what can be done to the non-Hebrew slaves. Read the chapter to find out about Hebrew slaves. Seeing that Christians believed the Bible was the Word of God, it was natural for them to allow slavery. The same thing with Muslims. Muhammad claimed to be the Last Prophet, so he did what the Hebrew prophets did. The Jews were against freeing the slaves in America and it was Christians who freed the slaves & destroyed worldwide slavery. Islam still practices slavery in Africa.
You all captured and sold your own people out of greed of money. That's not any white man's doings, so stop blaming them for your own actions. Blame the ones who did it and blame them. While you're at it... research black slave owners (the number is astounding) & hold them accountable FIRST. WHEN YALL GOING TO DO THAT?
@@buddysilver5788 same Christianity who commited world wide Genocide and destruction? Where Islam went with slavery, they undoubtedly came to enrich the culture and share the truth from God with them, whilst Christians saw their slaves as their rightful property to be used in whichever way they liked.
enslavement were made in many step: - It began with a kidnapping for a large part of young children by Arabs then it continued via the "training" of the latter to make them "tools" for the benefit of the slave system.... it is on these consequences that you talk when you say that blacks sold blacks.... Modern studies on psychanalism that owe much to the practices of Europeans on blacks (see the letter of willy lynch true or not it expresses the mechanics that resulted in making an individual a threat to his own. Thus train humans in the infancy or create dissentions between groups as we see today (whites do not change their method!) To conclude who is more to condemn the indoctrinated or the indoctrinator? Let us not forget that these peoples who ended up practicing slavery (and who were part of the first enslaved peoples because of their proximity to the Arab-Berber slavers) are Muslims: so what about the place of this Islamization... It's stupid to rely on the end of the film to make a judgment on all the film.. And very often this is what leucoderma trolls do to clear theirs or uneducated negroes and alienate to show that they are "open-minded" !!! In the majority of cases the psychanalise shows that the child abusers were themselves... abused children!! Despite the gravity of the act we must not forget that a human spirit can be shaped! And the modeler is the most to be condemned because he initiated the cycle !!! (And he still does... to dominate).
It's so sad to see how our ancestors sisters and brothers were treated and yet we have no love in our heart for each other as Africans its time to treat each other with love because it's still here but in different form God blesses our ancestors whom have paid the price we don't know ourselves until our back against the wall love each other and show you care
So lets have this conversation....lets do a zoom and discuss the slavery of jews by africans...and could slavery of blacks be a retribution of God for enslaving Jews
I’m so blessed to come across this video. I’m in college and currently enrolled in a US History class from a black perspective. And we are studying the Transatlantic slave trade. I just wrote an essay last week on the subject. This video puts everything in perspective thank you🙏🏿
Keep in mind this may be the colonizer's story of events not the complete or true story of African history. I love history and the journey is an interesting and exciting journey. Recently, I learned that Africans were the real Aboriginals in America. Their presence here goes back 500,000 years. Have you read The Destruction of African Civilization or, The African Origin of Civilization (Myth or Reality) by Cheikh Anta Diop. Enjoy your journey. Peace and blessings to you.
@@jenniferj6580 I will keep that in mind. And thank you for the book recommendations. I do know that the Africans travelled here and met with the Aztecs. There is so much to learn but I’m enjoying the journey. Peace and blessings to you as well 🙏🏿

I am a British school teacher in the United States and I have just shared sections of this video with my 7th grade students. While it definitely got their attention, it could have been painful for some of them. Some of them could also have felt quite angry, which would be understandable. Shouldn't the truth of the past, including the shameful and brutal treatment of Africans be acknowledged and processed, if we are to come close to improving relations between the people of our planet? The kids seem eager to live in a better world, that's for sure. I saw it in their anonymous responses - and I hear it in their opinions expressed every school day. They give me hope!
There is so much more to slave trade and before you can show this video was it approved by the school board.. if you're not familiar with the Atlantic slave trade Portuguese the Muslims then don't be showing any videos to any children

Slavery wasn't only for Africans, African pirates abducted and enslaved more than 1 million Europeans between 1530 and 1780 in a series of raids that depopulated coastal towns from Sicily to Cornwall
It's sad this isn't taught in schools. I'm from USA, currently living in Nigeria with my Nigerian husband, and neither of us learned this in school. We both attended university, and luckily I double majored in Africana Studies & studied abroad in Ghana, so I've been aware of this history, even though I'm still learning from this documentary. Our history needs to be acknowledged, taught and preserved for sure. I think it would benefit us all.
I just watched this video, and I have noticed that my life is no longer the same. An unspeakable inner pain reigns in me that are only increasing within my soul. I understand now how my ancestors went through so much hardship and inhuman treatment that I lack words to describe the suffering and shame they had experienced. Between deceit, sabotage, rivalry and tribal wars, many fell into the traps of slavery. How many will have died and thrown into the sea? How many indeed were subjugated placed to mistreatment? The day of reckoning must come to clarify everything.
Sticks and stones may hurt your phone but you can't let words hurt slavery was a way of life some of them enslave themselves each other you have a good way with a sensitive heart tell her it is some evil people still in the world that would love for slavery to come we can't let that mattis we can't give it no consideration newday God has freed us from that bull and those who use and abuse people then and now will be dealt with by the power of the Father son and holy Spirit it's nothing we can do about the pass but the future is all to do as we see for all people so miss hold your head up they couldn't break you so they had set you free amen have a blessed day
There is going to be a day of reconning, i was never taught in church that there would be, but when i started to read it for myself, there is going to be. The people that enslaved us and their descendants that still benefit off of our enslaved ancestors will all pay. They are living it up and enjoying their freedoms and their benefits but it is going to come to an end very soon. The saints are patiently waiting for that day.
Deuteronomy 32:43 Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, [and] to his people. Ezekiel 25:14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
Thank you Zienab Badawi for this history of "enslaved Africans" as to rightfully stated it. These documentaries that you are a part are a crucial aspect of history for us " the lost & scattered" to learn our true history , culture & identity. Please keep doing these documentaries. Everyone has the right to know where they came from. As I watch these It saddens me as I look at the faces & wonder could I be of his, hers or there family tree or from that country in Africa. When you identity is lost so is a major part of your soul & worst....we the decendants of " the enslaved Africans " will never know! Thank you for the work you've done.

🌟💥 The title given to the enslaved blacks of the *'Kushite'* empire is known as *"Hebrews"* . The Hebrews originally existed in the North. The Hebrews who were invaded and survived capture, escaped to the dangerous and swamp invested south, which was originally reserved for the purpose of wildlife. This title *Hebrews* was awarded to the enslaved Blacks by the captors and newly famed colonial authorities; The Mass *Greek* invasion of the 4th millenial BC *(Period of 6,000 Years ago)* The Greeks who were fascinated and learned of the original Kushite spirituality. Adopted much of the cultural hanbitats of the Kushites. Faith and Godlihood was a major cultural investment for the Greeks. The Greeks who adopted the title as Jews after much centuries later. Today this word 'Jews' means : God's chosen creation of people on earth or *"Gods favoured people"* We could speculate and measure that probably a chosen people would have some advantages of this long inhabited earth, even while punished as biblical scripture has mentioned: Physical abilities of the earth perhaps - Spiritual abilities perhaps { Solar rays of the sun destroys "Ashken Nazi Jews" Opose to the fact, The *sun* strenthens the Blacks immunityon earth. This concludes that the *Ashke Nazi jews* can not possibly be the authentic original jews? There exist much theories investigating, the Jewish title and it's significant evolution via the etimology of language into transcript. The word 'Hebrew' turned to the word 'Jewish' is possible via transcript of language. The title Hebrew was given to describe the complexion and characters of the original natives.. Of the *North!* Also later discriptioned in Roman - latin as the *"Necromancer"* Meaning: - *"The darkskins that prayed to the after life"* : The Kushite empire is situated in the north of African peninsula. This is were the Arabs and persians have found their home via the battled-invasions- of pillage for land - theft and opportunitistic theivery. This commenced more than two thousand years ago History saw the battles with Roman and Greek battalions for the control of the regions: Later, Over 1,500 *(One thousand and five hundred)* years ago : A major battle won by the invading persian onslaught, captured the north peninsula - (Kushite) This was known to be captured soley due to the aid of a growing movement aided by inspiration of the protagonist of this movement. Villagers eagerly followerd the heralded protagonist, recorded as a messenger from God, a Prophet he was addressed by. A few thousand miles from the city of *'Medina'* situated north of Africa, was the home to the Prophet, who was enfluenced and persuaded by a war mongering sultan to join the sultans crusade to spread the movement across the peninsula and capture the northen front of the peninsula and the city medina: In reality we can see today, that the sultan was only interested in the wealth of the empires to be invaded. The sultan's machination resulted in the capture of wealthy resource filled lands from the cluthches of European forces. The empires exchanged control of the regions throughout the periods of the first millenium Ad. Continuous battles against the Byzantine empires by persians/Ottoman/Asian/Indian Mystics/Aztecs took place throughout. The Arab and persians have succeed.. Stood as victors with the aid of the Prophet's movement. The protagonist the Prophet of the movement and every last one of his family and friends were assasinated and slaughtered after the victories and captures of the regions, wealthiest empires of the continent titled as Africa. The machination devised to remove and annihillate all of the original leaders of the movement: By methods to erase all natural successors and bloodtires to the inheritance of the regions: Astonishingly an age of *"three hundred years"* passed by, until a faith was fully established and motioned in honour of the one titled as Proohet, They called him Muhammed *(Pbuh)* Devised, it became, to new successors of administration: A decree upon the lands that any captured armies/enemies, pagans, wonderous, citizens, allies, friends, foreign nationals, widows, children and infants, ophans, families etc.. that did not adhere to this sworn oath of new decree: The testament reads... *"Muhammad is the final messenger of Allah and exist no other God but only Allah"* alone! Those whom did not accept this testament were slaughterrd or made into slaves... For it was perceived as a threat to the sovereignty to not assimulate to the persian empire. For example: This echoes in the same characteristics of not accepting the European Royals/Kings and Queens of England/Catholic Churches etc would be slaughtered on site or made into slaves if physically profitable...? Do you understand what this means.. The manuscript created to affirm this decree came from notes enscribed upon leaves. The enscriptions on the leaves were derived from the *INTERACTIVE* - preservations with friends and family of the one titled Prophet Muhammad *(Pbuh)* Those people succesfully kept the personal diaries of 'Actions, words and wisdoms of Prophet Muhammad *(Pbuh)* I must admit, this information becomes incredible, as i realise this *'astronomical epithamy'* : Minuses any exagerations.. For example : If throughout my life records are kept by many people And such records are later collected by interested sources...and stored... It is more than possibly likely, such information , that is stored will be restored somehow someway by someone *'2,000'* years later in the distant future? Such information will be inevitably changed, to benefit the authoritive rulers or perpetrators of that future kingdom or empire? Words and actions will be changed, along with the accounts and stories of the original behaviours. ? Any original account, which falls into the hands of any human beings - powerful - authority and legislation is never left unchanged/unaltered/unmannered! It is an abomination that which anyone's testaments will be changed to, inorder to profit some by format of deception? Insurmountable misinformation occurs, when interpretations are created from any records by the minds and creative imagination of *human beings...?*
@The Laugh Box True. I'm not religious, but I've done my research and the Israelites is just another name for the Bantu people of Africa. And yes, there was a very intentional targeting of Bantu people for slavery by Arabs, islamisized Africans like Somalis and many other non-Bantu Africans. We black people keep talking about healing, reparations and all that, but we're kidding ourselves if we're not going to address the fact that our skinfolk had a hand in this.
@GEERT-WILDERS yeah, but he is saying Somalis sold slaves, which is not true. it was Bantus. there was a sultan who was half Bantu and half Arab, and it was not only him but many others.
@@beproud5447 so brah, any need for you to come down on her like that? You never been wrong about something? I'm sure you can see how she might of been a bit off with the info. It's a similar conclusion somewhat. Couple that with the emotion of a woman, and on this topic, and you should be able to look down on the situation, and correct her in righteousness instead of what you did. Just saying.
@The Laugh Box I am interested can you give me some leads to show the Bantu connection is Israelite? I know very little actually nothing of this history you speak of. What I do know people are waking up to Torah but my experience is all skin types & places on earth. And that lines up with scripture that said He removed His people from before His presence & scattered them to the four corners of the earth & Yeshua says in the parable... He sent His servants to gather people for the wedding feast when those invited didn't come when the feast was ready. It even says He invited the unworthy as well so the wedding hall would be full. I don't know if I have any blood from Africa at all. I don't think I do. I look Europeanish but am not & have some Anglo, Irish & Welsh & maybe Spanish as far as I have figured. I have been looking into their Israelite heritage to help me understand why this happens to us. Thanks.
Let alone the apology those masters "argue back we have left Africa prosperous," The only way out is if we stand together united and make our voice heard. I appreciate Zeineb for bringing these facts to the world.
Antony Jumba If you're still waiting for an apology, you don't fully understand the 'by all means necessary' mentality of this global white supremacy system. Something I read some time back - there are 3 things in life you never ask for: an apology, love and respect.
@@tilethio I partly agree, but as an African (I can tell that you're Ethiopian from your name) you shouldn't wait for Zeinab and the BBC to make documentaries on African history. Very many continental and diasporan Africans have put out way more comprehensive information on African history.
@Culture Freedom We Africans view and see you African Americans and all black people all over the world as our brothers and sisters. It hurts me when i see African Americans say that we Africans don't consider them as our own. We Africans consider black people in America and black people all over the world as our own, whom were taken away from us by force. Many black Americans are Reconnecting with their roots in the black continent. there are many Africa Americans and black people all over the world whom are reconnecting with their roots. they are going to Africa to learn about our ancestors. there are anti-slave trenches and caves in each tribe and village in western, central and south Africa. that out ancestors prepared so that when the Europeans/invaders come they would hide inside the trenches and the caves. We as Africans welcome you African Americans and black people all over the world to come and visit Africa. You will be welcome by the people and the chiefs and kings, they will see you and be happy. You will be truly welcome. It is best that when you go or visite, you take someone with you. so that they will show you around the black continent Africa, its history and its beauty. Don't believe what the world shows you about Africa. I beg you to look at the positive side of Africa. Africa is still suffering from the effects of slavery and colonialism specifically western and central Africa. The countries in West Africa are in modern slavery today. European countries like France make sure that their fourteen African colonies stay poor. They control the currency known as Cfa. They also control the economies and GDP of these countries. These countries pay billions of dollars of colonial taxes to France each year. I am from Cameroon. I come from a tribe and village known as Mbem. Our native language is called Yamba. My grandmother use to tell us that back in those days when the European s came to the village everyone would run and hide in the caves. There is a huge cave in my village where when the Europeans came with guns, everyone would go and hide inside the caves. Because they could shot and kill anyone. My grandmother use to tell us that they took our people and go with them. 96% of all black people taken from the black continent of Africa were taken by force. I don't know much about other villages and tribes. Do not believe what everybody in the whole world goes around saying that we sold our people to the Europeans. those our other ancestral tribal African leaders that handed their people over to the Europeans/invaders, they could have been bribed, they could have been forced to make those horrible decisions. Those our ancestral African tribal leaders that handed their people over to the white people/invaders, they Realized and recognized the horrible decisions that they had made when they saw that the white people where killing our people, when they saw that the white people where lynching and segregating our people, when they saw that the white people treated us blacks like animals, they stopped. when they stopped, the Europeans started taking those people from those tribes by force too, specifically central and western Africa. The Europeans/invaders did not only take our people away from us, they made us slaves in our own land. they colonized us and forced us to speak their languages. they controlled us. the whole continent of Africa is still suffering from the effects of colonization. We as Africans and the whole continent of Africa Failed to defend our land, our resources such as Gold, Diamond, Oil, Agricultural resources, and more, and We Failed to Defend our people from the Europeans/invaders. Those that survived were the ones that managed to hide. If you go to Mbem village, you will see the huge cave, you will think that God himself put the Rocks there. My village is surrounded by big mountains. The cave is on a huge mountain not at the top but in the middle of the mountain. It would make for a big tourist attraction. The people from my village were taken away from us. Forgive me if I offend anyone. We Africans Love you African Americans and black people all over the world. I believe that we need to come together in Jesus' name. I have been through a lot of hate and extreme discrimination in the united states from people who are my skin color because I am African. I pray that we black people love one another and treat one another as brothers and sisters in the Lord God Jesus Christ. Everything that I have told you was not written on a history book. everything that I have told you was past down from real-life witness account from generation after generation in my family. from my great-great-grandmothers to my great grandfathers to my grandmother. I will send you the link of a black American whom went to reconnect with his roots, in Nambe Tikar Cameroon. he learned about his our ancestors in real life. he was given a new traditional name. his youtube channel is Nkoundji II. I believe we should learn about our ancestors in real-life experiences, not from books that were written by the people that put us under oppression and slavery. Countries in the black continent like ghana, are welcoming black Americans and black people all over the world to come and visit. to learn about our ancestors. here is a link to Nkoundji II, youtube channel videos. it would be Great if you could watch all of his videos in cameroon. th-cam.com/video/V_w0Py92hoE/w-d-xo.html. I thank you for reading this comment to the end. God Bless you in Jesus name.

@Culture Freedom dude look I agree with ADOS but you're not really going to sit up here and say blacks are more European than they are of African ancestry are you? Most blacks only have about 20% or less European ancestry... I agree we should distinguish ourselves from Africans but we also should be truthful.
Mass enslavement of black people started with the Arabs, culminating in the revolution of the Zynch in the 8th century. Condensed version here : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanj_Rebellion. Thank me later
Eloy is a supremely well spoken man. It’s terrible what humans have done to humans since the beginning of humanity. As he said, the most important thing is to recognize what exactly was done and to preserve and communicate that so others know the truth. And then to honor the memory of all of those people. Great program, I’m glad I took the time to watch it.

I pray that my people all over the world are healed from the pain the pain we share as one people! Thank you beautiful sister for this history of my people.
I give great honor to my African maternal and paternal ancestors who survived that Atlantic journey. How strong and mighty they must have been. They created a lineage spanning continents and lasting hundreds of years to my creation. Just think I am one of them the strongest of the strong and the mightiest of the mighty.
th-cam.com/video/VmqgbeF-rTM/w-d-xo.html TRUTH ABOUT BADAGRY SLAVE TRADE ( THE POINT OF NO RETURN) . This story will give you insight to what our ancestor faced during the slave era.
Much of the suffering and struggle and problems still go on throughout the continent, diaspora, landing, peninsula, vernacular, countries, states, cities, named villages, civilizations, coasts, towns, streets, area codes, zip codes, streets,, And addresses the epidemic and pandemic make things even more hard to take care of
Blame the African leaders and cultures....they have no empathy..foresight..dont plan ahead...hate their people...greedy and lazy....attack them instead
Goree island in senegal was the first slave island i'd gone to slave house and i looked out at of the door of no return..i had a complete break down. I lost it....my guide left me at that moment. I cried for me, my ancestors and all we've gone thru...stating there. Been there several times afterwards and it such a peaceful energy...smh. My people,oh my people. tears
My dad used to be the director of dixcove castle in dixcove western part of ghana 🇬🇭..I remember going on vacations over there when I was a kid…the dungeons were turned into kitchens,bathrooms ,bedrooms and gymnasium. You could still smell the blood of the slaves trust me ! I remember one time my dad asked me to go take my shower I mean without him going with me, immediately I entered the bathroom I couldn’t take my shower cos I felt like some people standing on my neck! I mean it was like a haunted room.. I was like 10 yrs old and I will never forget,illusionary I saw this woman crying and stretching her hands to me! I jumped out of the bathroom screaming then my dad told me it’s all illusions 😫😫
It was Ghanan rulers who enslaved people and kept them there, not Europeans. They made huge profits on it. You have to laugh when someone named Zeinab Badawi talks about "violently and cruelly" transatlantic slave trade when Arabs and Africans were the biggest and cruelest slave traders of all. Arabs, her own cousins, took over 140 million into slavery. And it's thanks to msslims that slavery turned into an export industry where Africans enslaved 70% of the entire continent. The transatlantic slave trade was tiny in comparison.
Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: Deuteronomy 28:32-33 KJV
@GEERT-WILDERS There's involvement and playing a major roll. Besides, we have heard of the rest in the media taking part but Jews are never mentioned. Why is that?
I am first-generation Garifuna American. My parents were from Honduras and Belize. They did an excellent job instilling my rich and indigenous culture. For that, I am truly grateful to my ancestors who paved the way for me and my family. ❤🙏🏾
This is not as taught in schools as much as it should. Outstanding job. For many people learn about slavery as if America invented slavery. It’s more horrible than most realize and happen for many many years by people all over the world.
@@alexisagginie4574 it says someone will forever be a victim and someone else will forever be a perpetrator. There is no healing in that mindset. There will be no unity. Senario: your relative commits a horrific offense against your husband /wife. You apologize tell hin /her that you are appalled by what your uncle did and you denounce him from your family. But your husband /wife won't forgive and even though you were not the one who committed the offense you get blamed as of you we're the one that did it. And you will be treated like this for the rest of the foreseeable future because in his /her eyes - there is no way out could ever be forgiven. So how do you ever move forward? How do you ever become one again? You cannot continue to blame generation of people that weren't the perpetrators. Also the color of someone's skin. Also there were whites who were against slavery and fought other whites to free people. Not everyone has an ugly heart. "“BEWARE THAT, WHEN FIGHTING MONSTERS, YOU YOURSELF DO NOT BECOME A MONSTER... FOR WHEN YOU GAZE LONG INTO THE ABYSS. THE ABYSS GAZES ALSO INTO YOU.”.(Nietzsche) CRT IS BEING SUPPORTED BY MONSTERS. HATE AND ANGER WILL NEVER MAKE ANYTHING BETTER. 💚
@@lorikaye1540 I understand what you are saying. So that person, that group that circumstance is forever going to be vile, aggressive, steeped in wrong doing? Where is Responsibility and Accountability. Then the 'offsprig' from generation to generation will continue to abuse and revile in the same activity. Where is Justice? Where is the inborn ability to grow and have compassion. CAIN killed his brother ABEL, he was dealt with. The party responsible was clearly established. Did GOD change His LAW to accommodate him? The wrong doing must stop. Attitudes must be reversed. Constantly people must look at and into themselves and CHANGE!
The steps to decolonise Africa: 1. African leaders love your people and work in their interest. Stop taking the fortune from your people and hide it out of Africa. Use it for your people and your family inclusive. 2. Africa needs to unite and be one. under one government, army, currency and education system. 3. Africa needs to change it's education program. History of Africans needs to be rewritten and taught. No good in studying French revolution and blah blah. 4. African diaspora need to invest at home. They also need to bring the skills back home. 5. Africa needs not to always rely on imported policies meant to keep it tied and on the shackle. 6. Africans allow your brains to rethink and stop letting other people program your thoughts through religions and western media. NB: I remind my fellow Africans that it is the black community that is mostly the target. The rest of Africa regards it's self as part of Europe and Asia.
the odds of Africa uniting is zero. Most of the continent is a disaster and until black Africans stop blaming everyone else for their problems, their problems will continue.
You showed this but BBC And the western media never say nothing good about Africa. But AFRICA is the backbone of most western countries. Do some good documentary about Africa
I am from India. Watching this video made me cry. Bless you Africa. May you one day overcome all your pain and suffering. Europe is what it is today because of the plunder and suffering they caused everywhere. Curse these people.
Did you hear the part that says good in cultivating rice and naturally industrious @32:35. They stole us and took everything from us.This is why we would never forget what we went through
kamal As a PEOPLE , with self love-self preservation-safe communities-and with UNITY, our survival will continue to be ENSURED, despite the facts that forms of inequalities continue to exist, almost everywhere, centuries and decades later! I’m LIBERIAN and unfortunately, the vast majority of us just don’t understand or know what happened to our brothers, sisters, cousins, parents when they got on those ships towards the new world. It’s movie like this that’s important to teach a valuable lesson that our African chiefs were wrong, slavemasters were wrong, the institution of slavery was wrong, and the Europeans powers that allow slavery to exist were wrong! Let’s be clear on these facts that 99% of Africans today had nothing to do with the slave trade and let’s be clear that the vast majority of white people had nothing to do with slavery. The problem that exist as of 2021 is the fact that tools such as ethnocentrism, racism, tribalism, prejudices, discrimination and hate that’s part of human nature, are used systematically and hiddenly , to minimize others opportunities to climb the economic ladder. There are people out there who have fallen victims to these human ills...making it difficult for them to put ENOUGH bread and butter on the table for them and their family members. The great news here is that we all have the power as individuals to change the world around us, to treat the next person with empathy --to treat others the way you will want to be treated, regardless of your social-economic status . In a nutshell, be kind and treat others with decency, while giving other people an opportunity to climb the economic ladder of life, in today’s society. Thank you.

As a Barbadian and a descendant of the enslaved Africans,it really saddens my hear to know what my ancestors really went through..I always say that my navel string is buried in Barbados,but my DNA is buried in Africa.
Thank you Zeinab Badawi! Your research of what truly happened during the slave trade is amazing! This information should be used and recorded in the history books of schools across the world! God Bless you! Much love! Keep up the good work that you are doing!
The is a reason Gods reason. Every people has suffering. I imagine things would be a lot different now if not for the accolades of our ancestors. Good or bad. Africans sold their own people for gold n stuff like that it's supply and demand supply and demand you see.... Don't be angry be thankful to God
Unfortunately slavery is still going on now in Mauritania and the world has kept a blind eye. The UN Security Council should should take drastic action to end the widespread slavery in Mauritania.
Thank you soich for bring the truth to such a difficult topic! I actually cried for the suffering of my people! I am African-American so suffering is something I carry due to the trauma we as a people have suffered! Religion is such a form of control and power, but the Kingdom of God is not! Truth and love are gentle, charitable not cruel. 34 Then the KING (JESUS) will say to those on HIS right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 45 Then HE will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
You're another "oppressed " person who never saw a single strand of White DNA, or a single speck of White technology that you didn't like. Without that, you're sitting in a mud hut that will last six weeks, a dirt floor, and some sticks and stones to ENJOY!! In other words, a living hell for life.
Excellent account. One of the best I’ve seen so far. This shares mostly from the perspective of the African continent which is rare. I’m watching from Senegal and seeing this historical account of slavery from this perspective (vs. the US) thru the lens of my experiences with the people here, is profound. Thank you.
As a black American I agree this is fascinating! I know what slavery did to us the descendants.. this is a whole new take for me.. they never really taught us exactly how Africa got poor. It was actually left for us to assume it was just desolate by nature..I should come back fr 😅
I was born in Surinam South America. My encestors were runaway slaves from Brasil. We maintain to keep our culture tradition and languages, and survive the ruff jungle. We have 6 tribes. I now live in Amsterdam for 30years. Sinds my people started from theire first village called Dahomey, they past me lots of history. My bestfriend is from Guinnee Conakiri, for 17 years, she was my neighbour. Her language is Mandingo. The first time i've seen her, i taught she was also from the village. Because we look a like, andddd, i could understand her language, Mandingo! Yesooooh🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤
No I bet everything I love there are some blk folks disliking this video as well. There are way too many living in denial, that Africans actually sold the ancestors. WAKE UP. FACE OUR TRUTH
@Adrian Sheldon that's right, how can we not be grateful that they taught us to read their language and be happy that even tho we were less than we could still feed masa children from our breast do much so that we couldn't produce enough to feed our own. Those were some nice thangs massa did fo us colored folks. Now wasn't it. Man if you don't shut the fuck up. Why not talk about how Europe sent poor whites to the America's first to do all the back breaking work. You people would love to call it slavery, when it was really a indentured servent type situation. Given land and money once time was completed. Wht did they give the slaves after slavery was TAKEN from them? Not a damn thing they just changed the name to share cropping.
Joel 3:1-2 [1]For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, [2]I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

I'm glad there telling the history about Cabo Verde because it's never spoken about or written about and the people and history is just important and needs to be told these are some of the nicest people I have ever met personally ❤
I really appreciate how there were 15 episodes before slavery. It's good that people understand there was beauty, intelligent, creative, society and cultural long before it was colonised. Obviously lol. Too often, schools outside Africa only learn of slavery, war and famine in the continent!
How do they only learn this? They need help and why would any Creator bring Man in to this would when Man is the inspired word od God of evil. is the Bible in full context turning ministers instant atheist because they see the contratdictions and slavory hate wars on Man in it. cherry picking love is all the dishonest christian get from it. Is there a real true loving Non Manipulating Creator.
yes, it was taught to them when they were colonized and enslaved by the ARABIC nations. the reason that there are so many muslims obviously never even occurred to you. THEY brought some civilisation to the norther parts of africa.
Dear humanity with a heavy heart that mourns and laments I have learn that love feels good no matter who transmits it, but God is the greatest love of all! Love is not monetary dividends that makes wise men rich, Love is the wealthy using their riches wisely! Let those with a ear hear what the spirit is saying to the church! ✌🏽
Christ??? Never forget they forced us to learn the Bible and worship this man and forget our spirituality. Why??? So that we can allow them to take more control of us and worship their ancestors instead of our own!!!!
They didn't teach us the whole Bible only what they wanted us to know. If they had of taught the full Word the uprising would have been immediate. There are revolts throughout the Bible not to mention it also talks about how to treat each other in context. They will have to pay for their sins.
@@jasminewright6682 Christianity isn't about worshipping your ancestors and Christianity is against racism also Africans like being Christian or they could go back to worshipping a rock or doing vodoo and so far most people are still Christian the colonizers were quite hypocrites not following their own religion and it was the same for Islam they were just as big colonizers
Soy de Colombia y quisiera saber de qué lugar de África son mis ancestros, siento dolor al pensar todo lo que pasaron, es como un grito que se ahoga en mi pecho. Sus existencias son una pieza perdida de mi vida que quisiera encontrar.

I'm from the house of Mumbi in central Kenya. My tribe was not captured for slavery. Mainly because if a slave trader strayed into my ancestors land (Kirinyaga), they didn't come out. Never to be seen again.(read on Wiyaki wa Hinga for facts)Thai Thathaiya Ngai Thai.
Top marks for how he answers do you feel sad about working here. What a lovely refreshing answer to a difficult and so often over used question. Moving forward is better than dwelling on the past. It happened we can’t change it but we can learn and take a new look on life and leave the horrors of the past behind because it was only us but our ancestors we have learnt since then as a nation not just individuals
Those who fail to LEARN from the past are doomed to repeat it. "Moving forward" might make YOU feel better, but it doesn't solve the problems the trans-Atlantic slave trade caused and continues to cause. It is far more important to tell the unvarnished truth and use those lessons to become better.
I'm a MAORI from AOTEAROA NZ NGA HAU E WHA. I feel the pain of my indigenous brothers and sisters. I want to watch this program but I am already crying. God loves the indigenous people around the WORLD. I remember watching the TV program of the author Alex Haley. It was called Roots with Kunta Kinte with the American. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ngāti Mutunga in turn saw the meeting as a precursor to warfare on the part of Moriori and responded. Ngāti Mutunga attacked and in the ensuing action killed over 260 Moriori. A Moriori survivor recalled: "[The Māori] commenced to kill us like sheep... [We] were terrified, fled to the bush, concealed ourselves in holes underground, and in any place to escape our enemies. It was of no avail; we were discovered and killed - men, women and children - indiscriminately." A Māori chief, Te Rakatau Katihe, said: "We took possession ... in accordance with our custom, and we caught all the people. Not one escaped. Some ran away from us, these we killed; and others also we killed - but what of that? It was in accordance with our custom."[6] Despite the Chatham Islands being made part of New Zealand in 1842, Māori kept Moriori slaves until 1863. The slavery by mainland Maori was particularly brutal They also faced continuous near-starvation, frequent beatings, sexual abuse by their captors if the slaves were young women, a prohibition on marriage or sexual contact with their own people, permanent removal from the territories where their tribes had lived for centuries, and enforced breaking of the ancient tapu that had formerly protected them. Slavery was always a world wide problem. Salient to remember Roots was TV and fiction! Kunta Kinte came from a slave trading hub where africans sold africans (and still do) TV is not a way to learn! Roots was near total historical invention, Haley got everything wrong in his pre-Civil War lineage and none of his plantation ancestors existed; 182 pages have no basis in fact.. nypost.com/2002/01/16/the-celebrated-roots-of-a-lie/ Thomas Sowell the real story of slavery. th-cam.com/video/VWrfjUzYvPo/w-d-xo.html Humans need to learn to care about each other as humans.
And NZ might as well be still be colonised considering how Maori are treated in their own lands. The most incarcerated peoples of the World, record rates of children in poverty, record homelessness, unemployment, etc. Shameful, but it seems Pakeha have no shame just excuses and blame.
The portugees came to the coastal town of kenya(mombasa) in 14oo and they build fortjesus.Slave trade happened in East AFRICA and hope it will be featured in your series.There is also a door of no return in the coast.Fortjesus is a UNesco heritage site.
Just joining your channel. For years I have been searching for information regarding my great great grandmother' jouney to the Caribbean some time around, 1850s - 1865 via the trans atlantic slave trade. At that time she was a child about 8 or 9 years when she was captured, never to return to her parents. Through oral tradition, and family sharing their lived experiences, I have come to know the horific experience she has had. I am hoping that through your program, I will be able to connect the dots . . .to know from where she came (I have knowledge of where she came from . .her village, tribe, country) this information has to be made credible. With the shared knowledge and forums like yours would help me to map her journey and provide with the satisfaction that she is able to voluntary make the trip back home through me- her great-great grand daughter, metaphorically. Thanks for creating and sharing such a program.
Nothing compared to chattel slavery bringing people to the trans Atlantic slave trade no matter the picture painted. List in foreign souk where you are no longer human but a animal the blame game can't minimize the destruction of the black civilization by colonizers. Taking everything land language and identity.eorlds greatest atrocity to date.
It is so disheartened to see how Africa was treated and humiliated all this pain inflicted on Africa has made Africa to be stronger than ever which created powerful ,hardworking and determine Africans like zeinab. Thanks zeinab for always being a proud African
It is hard to watch this and still don't hold grudges, how can they be so wicked and ignorance, even by the look of those pictures, I can feel a flowed of tears in my heart, this is so fustrating, I will never ever forget this and I will tell it to my generation to come!!
I am very appalled by the argument made by the professor in 35mins on. To argue that Africans captured each other through the use of force for their own benefits "realpolitik" and thus excuse the treachery of the Europeans is very dismissive of the active role played by the Europeans to forment wars and fights among African kingdoms. These wars and misunderstanding among kingdoms were exactly the work of the Europeans to create an enabling environment for their inhuman acts. The seeds of divisions, misunderstandings and wars created are still bearing fruits of civil wars and power plays in most African states. Rwanda was an example and it is still a melting port waiting to explode. He also failed to understanding that the form of slavery Africans were accustomed to was very different were slaves no matter how they were initially treated upon capture are assimilated into families and the larger environment. There was no way they could have imagined the barbaric and racist dehumanization of those they sold to the Europeans.
I hoping to find a brilliant comment like yours. Thank you. That is why BBC chose to use "sellout" "academics" than go to village elders where they tell the truth of how Europeans attacked, repped, captured and k illed those who tried to fight back. The professor was obviously trying to be a pleaser. Truth is there is no way those who participated knew the fate that the enslaved would face. They probably presumed the captured would merely be treated like the enslaved in Africa. Because in Africa, slaves were usually treated as family and were eventually released, with renumeration, after a period of time. The propaganda goes on. BBC is trying to use melanated faces on the hope that the story will be believable.
@Nii you are lying to yourself. The Europeans up until the early 1800s generally didn't foment wars amongst Africans. Brining up the Rwandan example is irrelevant. Prior to the 1800s the Europeans had mostly a hands off approach. It was Africans who tried to involve them in their disputes but they refused to take sides because there was no material benefit there for them. They were there to trade. Most of the Europeans were restricted to the coastline. They did not penetrate the interior of Africa until the mid to late 1800s when the main slave trading period was long over and all the European countries had already abolished the transatlantic slave trade. Learn your history
I can’t believe she is trying to degrade what he said about how inland Africans were instrumental in providing slaves to the Europeans buyers. He said “we need to put our OWN house in order first”. That doesn’t of course diminish in any ways the entire horror of slavery. I am one who still can’t bring myself to even comprehend the concept of selling and buying people!
THEY SOLD SLAVES TO EVERY COUNTRY !! THEY ARE STILL DEALING IN SLAVERY TODAY IN AFRICA !! THE ATROCITIES ARE STILL ONGOING AS WE SPEAK !! JUST BECAUSE THE USA AND BRITAIN ABOLISHED IT DOESNT MEAN AFRICA DID !!
No they wouldn't! They always like pushing the narrative of Africans selling others. But if they were to interview village elders, then the real truth will come out. The Europeans went to villages, attacked, repped and k illed those who tried to fight back.
@@plizwekup5231 exactly! And the interviewer is normally some white woman asking African scholars about slavery but did they forget that those same African scholars got their education from Europeans influenced institutions 🤦🏾♂️
@@martinsmith2258 Thank you! That is why they only choose to interview African "scholars" because they don't have the real truth other than the false history taught in universities that teach out of syllabus written by the Europeans themselves.
Facts facts... of course behanzin resisted the French, but his kingdom was one of the biggest slavetradeing kingdoms of West Africa, with a sophisticated religious system to be sure that slaves our their souls never could come back, "l'arbre du non retour" in Ouidah. They emptied their neighbours kingdoms and even sold their best warriors as slaves. They never had enough. So they were obliged to form female battalions of warriors to replace them. I know it because my former girlfriend's grandmother was an Amazon. And what to say about the throne in Abomey wich stands on 4 skulls of beaten enemy kings. When will the skulls restitute to the families, if their is still family? Maybe they were exterminated or sold as slaves? As you see sapiens and it's taste for greed, what ever the colour of the skin.
“Everywhere the pale faced man went, he raped, robbed and destroyed”. God shall bring down his strength to the ground, even unto the dust of the earth and he will NEVER rise again.
So intertribal wars between non-paled faced people is not permissable as it ruins your version of "truth". You are speaking a partial reality. Are Hispanics in or out of your good books. Greed has no colour. The first conqueror of men built walls & then went out to steal what belonged to others instead of inviting his neighbour over to share with .......He moved the boundary markers Abba gave to men. The commandments that show us how to live & love in spirit & truth. 🖐️ Has nothing to do with skin colour it is heart colour.

I can't believe the Europeans had a church above that building and innocent Africans as captives below that building. The question I am asking is who were they praying to.? Is it the same God who died on the cross for us? It is impossible, a God fearing person would not capture human beings against their will and put them through such pain and grief. This was the highest act of crime against human beings.
@@joanphinmorvan4566 exactly and we can't be sure even if that "God" is true because as Africans we had a different belief system which still does exist even today but surely this God and the bible was introduced by Europeans in Africa as a weapon to steal from them and claim everything that an African person owns.

Yeah I think about the white Europeans taken from there villages on mass up to the 17th century that eventuality led to those Europeans learning the trade of the African Moors and dominating at there game , so much so that Europeans are blamed solely for the triangle slave trade while in was infact African people who would kill and enslave there own people and export them across Africa for sale to the highest bidder which at one time happened to be the Europeans and not the usual customer , the Islamic empire. But what you forget about is , that it was white people that banned slavery and put there people into intergenerational dept to enforce the abolishment of the practice, so eh thanks for that white ancestors , I'd suggest you should be grateful for those people too, as with out them slavery wasn't going to stop and in fact still hasn't stopped in Africa. Oh well!
@@cultusgti ofcourse you would blame it entirely on the African system coz European s were innocent bystanders victims also in this slave trade. Poor poor Europeans. We owe them an apology

There is no proof of an Atlantic slave trade ever existing
Yet some men were bold to write, "All men were created equal..." while holding slaves themselves. The height of hypocrisy we still see today.
And also while the Constitution proclaimed that Blacks were 1/5th of a human being. And it states it to this day. It has never been changed Amended or ratified.

TELL IT ALL. The parts played by them all: Europeans, Arabs and Africans themselves.
Only the Truth can set you free...
@Cee Moran - Tell it all!
Francis Bacon- Yes known as the aristocrats.
Yes
@Memeo Alcea The world was giving into the hands of the wicked they are the wicked.
@Cee Moran Agreed! As an African, one has to be suspicious about this sudden interest by the BBC, which is one of the tools of white supremacy, in jumping on the wave of black people globally awakening to their history, along the lines of 'if you can't beat them, join them, but insert your own propaganda for good measure'. This feigned benevolence in documenting African history is clear for us to see.
Some of the images are so painful but I will not cry. I am Cameroonian and have shared this powerful broadcast with my three extremely Afrocentric children born in the USA. Our history. Our Roots, home of our ancestors.
Yes ur on the right track. Keep up the good work !!!! Yessss!!

Let’s be clear on these facts that 99% of Africans today had nothing to do with the slave trade and let’s be clear that the vast majority of white people had nothing to do with slavery. The problem that exist as of 2021 is the fact that tools such as ethnocentrism, racism, tribalism, prejudices, discrimination and hate that’s part of human nature, are used systematically and hiddenly , to minimize others opportunities to climb the economic ladder. There are people out there who have fallen victims to these human ills...making it difficult for them to put ENOUGH bread and butter on the table for them and their family members.

I'm a Kurdish Man from Iraqi Kurdistan Region, I'm exciting and feeling as I'm living in the reality of the Programme.
to be honest 50 to 60% of Middle East people still living under slavery Generation.
Most of the Political parties around the Middle East using the mindset of Colonizer countries to make their population couldn't open their eyes and mind .
They use them as they want
They use them as they desire
They use them as they plan

Thanks alot Ms Zainab Badawi for the amazing documentary Programme about Africa 🌍
Love you all African Countries ❤️
I am a Jamaican and I hope some of my fellow Jamaicans are watching and also other from the Caribbean to how our enslavers have churches above the slave castles.
You can not tell many Jamaicans that they desended from Africa
@@DeeDarlingthat's so true, If you ask the chinese Jamaican he proudly tells you that he is of chinese descent, the East Indian and European Jamaican the same thing, we are the only race that does not appreciate who we are. When the question was posed to Marcus Garvey on whether he is Jamaican or African, Marcus Garvey replied by saying that he would never give up a continent for an island.
@Justin Rubondo Apparently false spiritual systems were necessary in order to prey on the vulnerable.
A church on top of a slave dungeon. It speaks to how evil this trade & people were & still are to this day
@Memeo Alcea Honestly not surprised, that church has done unspeakable things
34:26 I respect Prof. Hoff's honesty concerning the role that Africans played in the slave trade. This narrative that most of us blacks have in the U.S. that Africans were kidnapped by Europeans and sold into slavery must die because for the most part that wasn't the reality. Europeans could not have enslaved Africans without cooperation from other Africans. Acknowledging the role Africans played in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade obviously does not absolve Europeans of any accountability for the role they played and their mistreatment of the slaves once they were sold into their hands. We just need to be honest about what happened regardless of how uncomfortable some truths may be

THE VIEWS OF MOSES MAIMONIDES
“Those who are incapable of attaining to supreme religious values include the BLACK coloured people and those who resemble them in their climates. Their nature is like the MUTE ANIMALS. Their level among existing things is below that of a man and above that of a monkey.”
(Maimonides, Guide To The Perplexed, Translation from the Hebrew Version)
In the Jewish Bible there are Hebrew slaves and non-Hebrew slaves.
Leviticus 25:45 teaches what can be done to the non-Hebrew slaves. Read the chapter to find out about Hebrew slaves.
Seeing that Christians believed the Bible was the Word of God, it was natural for them to allow slavery.
The same thing with Muslims. Muhammad claimed to be the Last Prophet, so he did what the Hebrew prophets did.
The Jews were against freeing the slaves in America and it was Christians who freed the slaves & destroyed worldwide slavery.
Islam still practices slavery in Africa.
You all captured and sold your own people out of greed of money. That's not any white man's doings, so stop blaming them for your own actions.
Blame the ones who did it and blame them.
While you're at it... research black slave owners (the number is astounding) & hold them accountable FIRST.
WHEN YALL GOING TO DO THAT?
@@buddysilver5788 same Christianity who commited world wide Genocide and destruction?
Where Islam went with slavery, they undoubtedly came to enrich the culture and share the truth from God with them, whilst Christians saw their slaves as their rightful property to be used in whichever way they liked.
enslavement were made in many step: - It began with a kidnapping for a large part of young children by Arabs then it continued via the "training" of the latter to make them "tools" for the benefit of the slave system.... it is on these consequences that you talk when you say that blacks sold blacks.... Modern studies on psychanalism that owe much to the practices of Europeans on blacks (see the letter of willy lynch true or not it expresses the mechanics that resulted in making an individual a threat to his own. Thus train humans in the infancy or create dissentions between groups as we see today (whites do not change their method!)
To conclude who is more to condemn the indoctrinated or the indoctrinator? Let us not forget that these peoples who ended up practicing slavery (and who were part of the first enslaved peoples because of their proximity to the Arab-Berber slavers) are Muslims: so what about the place of this Islamization... It's stupid to rely on the end of the film to make a judgment on all the film.. And very often this is what leucoderma trolls do to clear theirs or uneducated negroes and alienate to show that they are "open-minded" !!! In the majority of cases the psychanalise shows that the child abusers were themselves... abused children!! Despite the gravity of the act we must not forget that a human spirit can be shaped! And the modeler is the most to be condemned because he initiated the cycle !!! (And he still does... to dominate).
It's so sad to see how our ancestors sisters and brothers were treated and yet we have no love in our heart for each other as Africans its time to treat each other with love because it's still here but in different form God blesses our ancestors whom have paid the price we don't know ourselves until our back against the wall love each other and show you care

I’m so blessed to come across this video. I’m in college and currently enrolled in a US History class from a black perspective. And we are studying the Transatlantic slave trade. I just wrote an essay last week on the subject. This video puts everything in perspective thank you🙏🏿
Keep in mind this may be the colonizer's story of events not the complete or true story of African history. I love history and the journey is an interesting and exciting journey. Recently, I learned that Africans were the real Aboriginals in America. Their presence here goes back 500,000 years.

Hello @queenofweaves
Are there books or articles that mentioning the engagement of the African local chief in slave trade?
@jama warsame As long as there are resources to be stolen, you are correct.
I am a British school teacher in the United States and I have just shared sections of this video with my 7th grade students. While it definitely got their attention, it could have been painful for some of them. Some of them could also have felt quite angry, which would be understandable. Shouldn't the truth of the past, including the shameful and brutal treatment of Africans be acknowledged and processed, if we are to come close to improving relations between the people of our planet? The kids seem eager to live in a better world, that's for sure. I saw it in their anonymous responses - and I hear it in their opinions expressed every school day. They give me hope!
It was acknowledged and processed in the UK and US. What the hell are you talking about?
every american kid is taught that in school, you should probably head back to the uk
@Pearlie Harris Whatever you say, dude. You just keep on truckin'.
There is so much more to slave trade and before you can show this video was it approved by the school board.. if you're not familiar with the Atlantic slave trade Portuguese the Muslims then don't be showing any videos to any children

@@warldorwessarnoelt3936 if we think about it our ancestors were prisoners of war.
Slavery wasn't only for Africans, African pirates abducted and enslaved more than 1 million Europeans between 1530 and 1780 in a series of raids that depopulated coastal towns from Sicily to Cornwall
It's sad this isn't taught in schools. I'm from USA, currently living in Nigeria with my Nigerian husband, and neither of us learned this in school. We both attended university, and luckily I double majored in Africana Studies & studied abroad in Ghana, so I've been aware of this history, even though I'm still learning from this documentary.

I just watched this video, and I have noticed that my life is no longer the same. An unspeakable inner pain reigns in me that are only increasing within my soul. I understand now how my ancestors went through so much hardship and inhuman treatment that I lack words to describe the suffering and shame they had experienced. Between deceit, sabotage, rivalry and tribal wars, many fell into the traps of slavery. How many will have died and thrown into the sea? How many indeed were subjugated placed to mistreatment? The day of reckoning must come to clarify everything.
Sticks and stones may hurt your phone but you can't let words hurt slavery was a way of life some of them enslave themselves each other you have a good way with a sensitive heart tell her it is some evil people still in the world that would love for slavery to come we can't let that mattis we can't give it no consideration newday God has freed us from that bull and those who use and abuse people then and now will be dealt with by the power of the Father son and holy Spirit it's nothing we can do about the pass but the future is all to do as we see for all people so miss hold your head up they couldn't break you so they had set you free amen have a blessed day
There is going to be a day of reconning, i was never taught in church that there would be, but when i started to read it for myself, there is going to be. The people that enslaved us and their descendants that still benefit off of our enslaved ancestors will all pay. They are living it up and enjoying their freedoms and their benefits but it is going to come to an end very soon. The saints are patiently waiting for that day.

The title given to the enslaved blacks of the *'Kushite'* empire is known as *"Hebrews"* .
The Hebrews originally existed in the North.
The Hebrews who were invaded and survived capture, escaped to the dangerous and swamp invested south, which was originally reserved for the purpose of wildlife.
This title *Hebrews* was awarded to the enslaved Blacks by the captors and newly famed colonial authorities; The Mass *Greek* invasion of the 4th millenial BC *(Period of 6,000 Years ago)*
The Greeks who were fascinated and learned of the original Kushite spirituality.
Adopted much of the cultural hanbitats of the Kushites. Faith and Godlihood was a major cultural investment for the Greeks.
The Greeks who adopted the title as Jews after much centuries later.
Today this word 'Jews' means : God's chosen creation of people on earth or *"Gods favoured people"*
We could speculate and measure that probably a chosen people would have some advantages of this long inhabited earth, even while punished as biblical scripture has mentioned:
Physical abilities of the earth perhaps - Spiritual abilities perhaps { Solar rays of the sun destroys "Ashken Nazi Jews"
Opose to the fact, The *sun* strenthens the Blacks immunityon earth.
This concludes that the *Ashke Nazi jews* can not possibly be the authentic original jews?
There exist much theories investigating, the Jewish title and it's significant evolution via the etimology of language into transcript.
The word 'Hebrew' turned to the word 'Jewish' is possible via transcript of language.
The title Hebrew was given to describe the complexion and characters of the original natives.. Of the *North!*
Also later discriptioned in Roman - latin as the *"Necromancer"*
Meaning: -
*"The darkskins that prayed to the after life"*
: The Kushite empire is situated in the north of African peninsula. This is were the Arabs and persians have found their home via the battled-invasions- of pillage for land - theft and opportunitistic theivery.
This commenced more than two thousand years ago
History saw the battles with Roman and Greek battalions for the control of the regions:
Later, Over 1,500 *(One thousand and five hundred)* years ago :
A major battle won by the invading persian onslaught, captured the north peninsula - (Kushite)
This was known to be captured soley due to the aid of a growing movement aided by inspiration of the protagonist of this movement.
Villagers eagerly followerd the heralded protagonist,
recorded as a messenger from God, a Prophet he was addressed by.
A few thousand miles from the city of *'Medina'* situated north of Africa, was the home to the Prophet, who was enfluenced and persuaded by a war mongering sultan to join the sultans crusade to spread the movement across the peninsula and capture the northen front of the peninsula and the city medina:
In reality we can see today, that the sultan was only interested in the wealth of the empires to be invaded.
The sultan's machination resulted in the capture of wealthy resource filled lands from the cluthches of European forces.
The empires exchanged control of the regions throughout the periods of the first millenium Ad.
Continuous battles against the Byzantine empires by persians/Ottoman/Asian/Indian Mystics/Aztecs took place throughout.
The Arab and persians have succeed..
Stood as victors with the aid of the Prophet's movement.
The protagonist the Prophet of the movement and every last one of his family and friends were assasinated and slaughtered after the victories and captures of the regions, wealthiest empires of the continent titled as Africa.
The machination devised to
remove and annihillate all of the original leaders of the movement:
By methods to erase all natural successors and bloodtires to the inheritance of the regions:
Astonishingly an age of *"three hundred years"* passed by, until a faith was fully established and motioned in honour of the one titled as Proohet, They called him Muhammed *(Pbuh)*
Devised, it became, to new successors of administration: A decree upon the lands that any captured armies/enemies, pagans, wonderous, citizens, allies, friends, foreign nationals, widows, children and infants, ophans, families etc.. that did not adhere to this sworn oath of new decree: The testament reads... *"Muhammad is the final messenger of Allah and exist no other God but only Allah"* alone!
Those whom did not accept this testament were slaughterrd or made into slaves...
For it was perceived as a threat to the sovereignty to not assimulate to the persian empire.
For example:
This echoes in the same characteristics of not accepting the European Royals/Kings and Queens of England/Catholic Churches etc would be slaughtered on site or made into slaves if physically profitable...?
Do you understand what this means..
The manuscript created to affirm this decree came from notes enscribed upon leaves.
The enscriptions on the leaves were derived from the *INTERACTIVE* - preservations with friends and family of the one titled Prophet Muhammad *(Pbuh)*
Those people succesfully kept the personal diaries of 'Actions, words and wisdoms of Prophet Muhammad *(Pbuh)*
I must admit, this information becomes incredible, as i realise this *'astronomical epithamy'* : Minuses any exagerations..
For example : If
throughout my life records are kept by many people
And such records are later collected by interested sources...and stored...
It is more than possibly likely, such information , that is stored will be restored somehow someway by someone *'2,000'* years later in the distant future?
Such information will be inevitably changed, to benefit the authoritive rulers or perpetrators of that future kingdom or empire?
Words and actions will be changed, along with the accounts and stories of the original behaviours.
? Any original account, which falls into the hands of any human beings - powerful - authority and legislation is never left unchanged/unaltered/unmannered!
It is an abomination that which anyone's testaments will be changed to, inorder to profit some by format of deception?
Insurmountable misinformation occurs, when interpretations are created from any records by the minds and creative imagination of *human beings...?*
HalleluYAH
😂 y’all are everywhere spreading your false doctrine.
They will never say sorry, instead we're the ones they blame
@The Laugh Box True. I'm not religious, but I've done my research and the Israelites is just another name for the Bantu people of Africa. And yes, there was a very intentional targeting of Bantu people for slavery by Arabs, islamisized Africans like Somalis and many other non-Bantu Africans. We black people keep talking about healing, reparations and all that, but we're kidding ourselves if we're not going to address the fact that our skinfolk had a hand in this.
@GEERT-WILDERS yeah, but he is saying Somalis sold slaves, which is not true. it was Bantus. there was a sultan who was half Bantu and half Arab, and it was not only him but many others.
@@beproud5447 so brah, any need for you to come down on her like that? You never been wrong about something? I'm sure you can see how she might of been a bit off with the info. It's a similar conclusion somewhat. Couple that with the emotion of a woman, and on this topic, and you should be able to look down on the situation, and correct her in righteousness instead of what you did. Just saying.
@The Laugh Box I am interested can you give me some leads to show the Bantu connection is Israelite?
I know very little actually nothing of this history you speak of.
What I do know people are waking up to Torah but my experience is all skin types & places on earth. And that lines up with scripture that said He removed His people from before His presence & scattered them to the four corners of the earth & Yeshua says in the parable... He sent His servants to gather people for the wedding feast when those invited didn't come when the feast was ready. It even says He invited the unworthy as well so the wedding hall would be full. I don't know if I have any blood from Africa at all. I don't think I do. I look Europeanish but am not & have some Anglo, Irish & Welsh & maybe Spanish as far as I have figured.
I have been looking into their Israelite heritage to help me understand why this happens to us.
Thanks.

Slavery, world war 1&2 and colonization eroded africa alot, no one has ever issued an apology for it
Let alone the apology those masters "argue back we have left Africa prosperous," The only way out is if we stand together united and make our voice heard. I appreciate Zeineb for bringing these facts to the world.
Antony Jumba
If you're still waiting for an apology, you don't fully understand the 'by all means necessary' mentality of this global white supremacy system. Something I read some time back - there are 3 things in life you never ask for: an apology, love and respect.
@@tilethio I partly agree, but as an African (I can tell that you're Ethiopian from your name) you shouldn't wait for Zeinab and the BBC to make documentaries on African history. Very many continental and diasporan Africans have put out way more comprehensive information on African history.
@@kim1570 I agree completely with your remark,
@Culture Freedom We Africans view and see you African Americans and all black people all over the world as our brothers and sisters. It hurts me when i see African Americans say that we Africans don't consider them as our own. We Africans consider black people in America and black people all over the world as our own, whom were taken away from us by force. Many black Americans are Reconnecting with their roots in the black continent. there are many Africa Americans and black people all over the world whom are reconnecting with their roots. they are going to Africa to learn about our ancestors. there are anti-slave trenches and caves in each tribe and village in western, central and south Africa. that out ancestors prepared so that when the Europeans/invaders come they would hide inside the trenches and the caves. We as Africans welcome you African Americans and black people all over the world to come and visit Africa. You will be welcome by the people and the chiefs and kings, they will see you and be happy. You will be truly welcome. It is best that when you go or visite, you take someone with you. so that they will show you around the black continent Africa, its history and its beauty. Don't believe what the world shows you about Africa. I beg you to look at the positive side of Africa. Africa is still suffering from the effects of slavery and colonialism specifically western and central Africa. The countries in West Africa are in modern slavery today. European countries like France make sure that their fourteen African colonies stay poor. They control the currency known as Cfa. They also control the economies and GDP of these countries. These countries pay billions of dollars of colonial taxes to France each year. I am from Cameroon. I come from a tribe and village known as Mbem. Our native language is called Yamba. My grandmother use to tell us that back in those days when the European s came to the village everyone would run and hide in the caves. There is a huge cave in my village where when the Europeans came with guns, everyone would go and hide inside the caves. Because they could shot and kill anyone. My grandmother use to tell us that they took our people and go with them. 96% of all black people taken from the black continent of Africa were taken by force. I don't know much about other villages and tribes. Do not believe what everybody in the whole world goes around saying that we sold our people to the Europeans. those our other ancestral tribal African leaders that handed their people over to the Europeans/invaders, they could have been bribed, they could have been forced to make those horrible decisions. Those our ancestral African tribal leaders that handed their people over to the white people/invaders, they Realized and recognized the horrible decisions that they had made when they saw that the white people where killing our people, when they saw that the white people where lynching and segregating our people, when they saw that the white people treated us blacks like animals, they stopped. when they stopped, the Europeans started taking those people from those tribes by force too, specifically central and western Africa. The Europeans/invaders did not only take our people away from us, they made us slaves in our own land. they colonized us and forced us to speak their languages. they controlled us. the whole continent of Africa is still suffering from the effects of colonization. We as Africans and the whole continent of Africa Failed to defend our land, our resources such as Gold, Diamond, Oil, Agricultural resources, and more, and We Failed to Defend our people from the Europeans/invaders. Those that survived were the ones that managed to hide. If you go to Mbem village, you will see the huge cave, you will think that God himself put the Rocks there. My village is surrounded by big mountains. The cave is on a huge mountain not at the top but in the middle of the mountain. It would make for a big tourist attraction. The people from my village were taken away from us. Forgive me if I offend anyone. We Africans Love you African Americans and black people all over the world. I believe that we need to come together in Jesus' name. I have been through a lot of hate and extreme discrimination in the united states from people who are my skin color because I am African. I pray that we black people love one another and treat one another as brothers and sisters in the Lord God Jesus Christ. Everything that I have told you was not written on a history book. everything that I have told you was past down from real-life witness account from generation after generation in my family. from my great-great-grandmothers to my great grandfathers to my grandmother. I will send you the link of a black American whom went to reconnect with his roots, in Nambe Tikar Cameroon. he learned about his our ancestors in real life. he was given a new traditional name. his youtube channel is Nkoundji II. I believe we should learn about our ancestors in real-life experiences, not from books that were written by the people that put us under oppression and slavery. Countries in the black continent like ghana, are welcoming black Americans and black people all over the world to come and visit. to learn about our ancestors. here is a link to Nkoundji II, youtube channel videos. it would be Great if you could watch all of his videos in cameroon. th-cam.com/video/V_w0Py92hoE/w-d-xo.html. I thank you for reading this comment to the end. God Bless you in Jesus name.

Most blacks only have about 20% or less European ancestry...

There is no firm proof of the transatlantic slave trade ever occurring.
Savannah, GA too!
Wow, wow
It was Ghanan rulers who enslaved people and kept them there, not Europeans. They made huge profits on it.
You have to laugh when someone named Zeinab Badawi talks about "violently and cruelly" transatlantic slave trade when Arabs and Africans were the biggest and cruelest slave traders of all. Arabs, her own cousins, took over 140 million into slavery. And it's thanks to msslims that slavery turned into an export industry where Africans enslaved 70% of the entire continent. The transatlantic slave trade was tiny in comparison.
Interesting but no mention of the Jewish involvement. I like how that professor kept it real and said it how it is.

@@alexisagginie4574 it says someone will forever be a victim and someone else will forever be a perpetrator. There is no healing in that mindset. There will be no unity. Senario: your relative commits a horrific offense against your husband /wife. You apologize tell hin /her that you are appalled by what your uncle did and you denounce him from your family. But your husband /wife won't forgive and even though you were not the one who committed the offense you get blamed as of you we're the one that did it. And you will be treated like this for the rest of the foreseeable future because in his /her eyes - there is no way out could ever be forgiven. So how do you ever move forward? How do you ever become one again? You cannot continue to blame generation of people that weren't the perpetrators. Also the color of someone's skin. Also there were whites who were against slavery and fought other whites to free people. Not everyone has an ugly heart. "“BEWARE THAT, WHEN FIGHTING MONSTERS, YOU YOURSELF DO NOT BECOME A MONSTER...

The steps to decolonise Africa:
1. African leaders love your people and work in their interest. Stop taking the fortune from your people and hide it out of Africa. Use it for your people and your family inclusive.
2. Africa needs to unite and be one. under one government, army, currency and education system.
3. Africa needs to change it's education program. History of Africans needs to be rewritten and taught. No good in studying French revolution and blah blah.
4. African diaspora need to invest at home. They also need to bring the skills back home.
5. Africa needs not to always rely on imported policies meant to keep it tied and on the shackle.
6. Africans allow your brains to rethink and stop letting other people program your thoughts through religions and western media.
NB: I remind my fellow Africans that it is the black community that is mostly the target. The rest of Africa regards it's self as part of Europe and Asia.
Africa is part of Europe and Asia! it is part of the whole world!
the odds of Africa uniting is zero. Most of the continent is a disaster and until black Africans stop blaming everyone else for their problems, their problems will continue.

kamal As a PEOPLE , with self love-self preservation-safe communities-and with UNITY, our survival will continue to be ENSURED, despite the facts that forms of inequalities continue to exist, almost everywhere, centuries and decades later! I’m LIBERIAN and unfortunately, the vast majority of us just don’t understand or know what happened to our brothers, sisters, cousins, parents when they got on those ships towards the new world. It’s movie like this that’s important to teach a valuable lesson that our African chiefs were wrong, slavemasters were wrong, the institution of slavery was wrong, and the Europeans powers that allow slavery to exist were wrong! Let’s be clear on these facts that 99% of Africans today had nothing to do with the slave trade and let’s be clear that the vast majority of white people had nothing to do with slavery. The problem that exist as of 2021 is the fact that tools such as ethnocentrism, racism, tribalism, prejudices, discrimination and hate that’s part of human nature, are used systematically and hiddenly , to minimize others opportunities to climb the economic ladder. There are people out there who have fallen victims to these human ills...making it difficult for them to put ENOUGH bread and butter on the table for them and their family members. The great news here is that we all have the power as individuals to change the world around us, to treat the next person with empathy --to treat others the way you will want to be treated, regardless of your social-economic status . In a nutshell, be kind and treat others with decency, while giving other people an opportunity to climb the economic ladder of life, in today’s society. Thank you.

The narrative is false. Black people were already in the Americas that's why we have never seen a slave ship.
Africa is a disaster. If not for the relief efforts of mostly white countries the entire continent would starve.
Excellent account. One of the best I’ve seen so far. This shares mostly from the perspective of the African continent which is rare. I’m watching from Senegal and seeing this historical account of slavery from this perspective (vs. the US) thru the lens of my experiences with the people here, is profound. Thank you.

How do they only learn this? They need help and why would any Creator bring Man in to this would when Man is the inspired word od God of evil. is the Bible in full context turning ministers instant atheist because they see the contratdictions and slavory hate wars on Man in it. cherry picking love is all the dishonest christian get from it.

They didn't teach us the whole Bible only what they wanted us to know. If they had of taught the full Word the uprising would have been immediate. There are revolts throughout the Bible not to mention it also talks about how to treat each other in context. They will have to pay for their sins.

Top marks for how he answers do you feel sad about working here. What a lovely refreshing answer to a difficult and so often over used question. Moving forward is better than dwelling on the past. It happened we can’t change it but we can learn and take a new look on life and leave the horrors of the past behind because it was only us but our ancestors we have learnt since then as a nation not just individuals
Those who fail to LEARN from the past are doomed to repeat it. "Moving forward" might make YOU feel better, but it doesn't solve the problems the trans-Atlantic slave trade caused and continues to cause. It is far more important to tell the unvarnished truth and use those lessons to become better.
I'm a MAORI from AOTEAROA NZ NGA HAU E WHA. I feel the pain of my indigenous brothers and sisters. I want to watch this program but I am already crying. God loves the indigenous people around the WORLD.
I remember watching the TV program of the author Alex Haley. It was called Roots with Kunta Kinte with the American.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ngāti Mutunga in turn saw the meeting as a precursor to warfare on the part of Moriori and responded. Ngāti Mutunga attacked and in the ensuing action killed over 260 Moriori. A Moriori survivor recalled: "[The Māori] commenced to kill us like sheep... [We] were terrified, fled to the bush, concealed ourselves in holes underground, and in any place to escape our enemies. It was of no avail; we were discovered and killed - men, women and children - indiscriminately." A Māori chief, Te Rakatau Katihe, said: "We took possession ... in accordance with our custom, and we caught all the people. Not one escaped. Some ran away from us, these we killed; and others also we killed - but what of that? It was in accordance with our custom."[6] Despite the Chatham Islands being made part of New Zealand in 1842, Māori kept Moriori slaves until 1863.
The slavery by mainland Maori was particularly brutal
They also faced continuous near-starvation, frequent beatings, sexual
abuse by their captors if the slaves were young women, a prohibition on
marriage or sexual contact with their own people, permanent removal
from the territories where their tribes had lived for centuries, and
enforced breaking of the ancient tapu that had formerly protected them.
Slavery was always a world wide problem.
Salient to remember Roots was TV and fiction! Kunta Kinte came from a slave trading hub where africans sold africans (and still do)
TV is not a way to learn! Roots was near total historical invention, Haley got everything wrong in his pre-Civil War lineage and none of his plantation ancestors existed; 182 pages have no basis in fact..

Through oral tradition, and family sharing their lived experiences, I have come to know the horific experience she has had. I am hoping that through your program, I will be able to connect the dots . . .to know from where she came (I have knowledge of where she came from . .her village, tribe, country) this information has to be made credible. With the shared knowledge and forums like yours would help me to map her journey and provide with the satisfaction that she is able to voluntary make the trip back home through me- her great-great grand daughter, metaphorically. Thanks for creating and sharing such a program.
Nothing compared to chattel slavery bringing people to the trans Atlantic slave trade no matter the picture painted. List in foreign souk where you are no longer human but a animal the blame game can't minimize the destruction of the black civilization by colonizers. Taking everything land language and identity.eorlds greatest atrocity to date.
It is so disheartened to see how Africa was treated and humiliated all this pain inflicted on Africa has made Africa to be stronger than ever which created powerful ,hardworking and determine Africans like zeinab. Thanks zeinab for always being a proud African
Last country to Abolish Slavery was in Africa just 40 years ago
There is no proof of an Atlantic slave trade ever existing
It is hard to watch this and still don't hold grudges, how can they be so wicked and ignorance, even by the look of those pictures, I can feel a flowed of tears in my heart, this is so fustrating, I will never ever forget this and I will tell it to my generation to come!!
Tell them.. it all started with African ppl first.
@@cherrycherrylady1700 no it didn't, okay?
@@jefferyoyagbarha750 It was. They sold it to the Europeans first.
@@nightslasher9384 i don't think so
@@jefferyoyagbarha750 they did he even said it in the video
Great work on a great documentary. Thank you Zeinab.
Amazing journalism, that's all I can say right now.
I am very appalled by the argument made by the professor in 35mins on. To argue that Africans captured each other through the use of force for their own benefits "realpolitik" and thus excuse the treachery of the Europeans is very dismissive of the active role played by the Europeans to forment wars and fights among African kingdoms. These wars and misunderstanding among kingdoms were exactly the work of the Europeans to create an enabling environment for their inhuman acts. The seeds of divisions, misunderstandings and wars created are still bearing fruits of civil wars and power plays in most African states. Rwanda was an example and it is still a melting port waiting to explode. He also failed to understanding that the form of slavery Africans were accustomed to was very different were slaves no matter how they were initially treated upon capture are assimilated into families and the larger environment. There was no way they could have imagined the barbaric and racist dehumanization of those they sold to the Europeans.
I hoping to find a brilliant comment like yours. Thank you. That is why BBC chose to use "sellout" "academics" than go to village elders where they tell the truth of how Europeans attacked, repped, captured and k illed those who tried to fight back. The professor was obviously trying to be a pleaser. Truth is there is no way those who participated knew the fate that the enslaved would face. They probably presumed the captured would merely be treated like the enslaved in Africa. Because in Africa, slaves were usually treated as family and were eventually released, with renumeration, after a period of time. The propaganda goes on. BBC is trying to use melanated faces on the hope that the story will be believable.
Very true!!!
@ADz - This, they just don´t care about facts XD
@Nii you are lying to yourself. The Europeans up until the early 1800s generally didn't foment wars amongst Africans. Brining up the Rwandan example is irrelevant. Prior to the 1800s the Europeans had mostly a hands off approach. It was Africans who tried to involve them in their disputes but they refused to take sides because there was no material benefit there for them. They were there to trade. Most of the Europeans were restricted to the coastline. They did not penetrate the interior of Africa until the mid to late 1800s when the main slave trading period was long over and all the European countries had already abolished the transatlantic slave trade. Learn your history
The TRUTH is always complex. And might bring out unpleasant facts for all sides involved. GREED is universal.

Amen you too

I can’t believe she is trying to degrade what he said about how inland Africans were instrumental in providing slaves to the Europeans buyers. He said “we need to put our OWN house in order first”. That doesn’t of course diminish in any ways the entire horror of slavery. I am one who still can’t bring myself to even comprehend the concept of selling and buying people!
6:15 that’s a Huge difference between transatlantic and indigenous enslavement.
3:13 changed my perception about religion FOREVER.
Dear Zeineb: when shall I expect African history book prepared by you?
It is important for people to know their history, so they won't do the same atrocities from the past.
Sadly slavery is still practiced
Ironic, because today there are more people living in slavery than there were in the times of European and Arab slave trade combined.
THEY SOLD SLAVES TO EVERY COUNTRY !! THEY ARE STILL DEALING IN SLAVERY TODAY IN AFRICA !! THE ATROCITIES ARE STILL ONGOING AS WE SPEAK !! JUST BECAUSE THE USA AND BRITAIN ABOLISHED IT DOESNT MEAN AFRICA DID !!
I now see how much more I have to learn.
Thank you so much for sharing this history. A painful history, but important to know what happened.
There is no firm proof of an Atlantic slave trade
"And a child shall lead them." (ISAIAH 11:6).
its shocking that BBC never mentioned the resistance of Africans including the King of Dahomey
No they wouldn't! They always like pushing the narrative of Africans selling others. But if they were to interview village elders, then the real truth will come out. The Europeans went to villages, attacked, repped and k illed those who tried to fight back.
@@plizwekup5231 exactly! And the interviewer is normally some white woman asking African scholars about slavery but did they forget that those same African scholars got their education from Europeans influenced institutions 🤦🏾♂️
@@martinsmith2258 Thank you! That is why they only choose to interview African "scholars" because they don't have the real truth other than the false history taught in universities that teach out of syllabus written by the Europeans themselves.
God bless you! Behanzin of Abomey rejected the arrival of the French. He fought & gained 3 consecutive wars against them!
Facts facts... of course behanzin resisted the French, but his kingdom was one of the biggest slavetradeing kingdoms of West Africa, with a sophisticated religious system to be sure that slaves our their souls never could come back, "l'arbre du non retour" in Ouidah. They emptied their neighbours kingdoms and even sold their best warriors as slaves. They never had enough. So they were obliged to form female battalions of warriors to replace them. I know it because my former girlfriend's grandmother was an Amazon. And what to say about the throne in Abomey wich stands on 4 skulls of beaten enemy kings. When will the skulls restitute to the families, if their is still family? Maybe they were exterminated or sold as slaves? As you see sapiens and it's taste for greed, what ever the colour of the skin.

So intertribal wars between non-paled faced people is not permissable as it ruins your version of "truth".
You are speaking a partial reality. Are Hispanics in or out of your good books. Greed has no colour.
