Sad to see black folks being hoodwink by a paid black spokesman to push lies about world history and lies by omission too. It's like they don't understand what the hell happened to black folks between the 1500s to the 1960s. 400 years. 1 black president in 200 years. Plantation owners were rewarded, and black veterans were short changed. I'm Mexican American, and I know more about your history than the cartoons Candace is showing you.
You don't know much about global history if you think black people have been and are the only culture who went through slavery. That would help you in a real debate.
Do you know where the word "slave" originates from? If you figure it out, could you please tell me which ethnic group the root word is from, and then come back and tell me who was short-changed and hoodwinked?
@@Wulfenburg even though they werent slaves, their parents werent slaves, and most if not all grandparents werent slaves. slavery in america is not a valid excuse for anything anymore. also black only programs, black only colleges, etc, etc. calling victim just doesnt work on smart people.
@@Wulfenburg That is a particularly historic Christian trait, playing the victim while being the perpetrator. It was even part of the slave trade as justification for worse treatment than the Christian indentured servants. It's also what caused the creation of 'white people', once they realized Africans 'could' be Christians, and their justification had less supported religious footing. Thus was the white power church created - and it doesn't only accept whites, and loves Christians.
These guys have watched Thomas Sowell videos about this same subject, this is just a redo watching Candace Owens talk about the very same subject. But good for them getting this out there for people to see and learn.
These dudes are young and probably didnt pay attention, i in high school or middle school years ago learned about the british outlawing slavery in the atlantic and use to intercept american ships headed to and from africa with slaves.
The education on history is very clearly biased and picks out details with that bias to teach American children. I was never taught anything about slavery besides black slavery. It’s a messed up system.
Thank you for speaking up. I agree with you that her numbers are far less than reality. I wish more people would acknowledge and focus on slavery today in order to end it.

Historical examples of fascism are all accretive of power. Socialism and Communism being liberal/collectivist constructs, are dispersive of power. Means that fascism has always been state capitalism, not socialism or communism. “We the People has more in common with “Co”mm”Uni”sm than it ever did with Capitalism. It doesn’t read as “Me the Person, to form a more Perfect Corporation”. Conservatism accrues power as liberalism disperses it. It’s in the basic derivation of the terms themselves. Means that all dictators and fascist states are conservative in nature. Here’s the catch, and what appears to be the flip side of what you just pointed out, is that no one is conservative or liberal per se, but rather we tend to embody characteristics of either/or at any given time. Which one reigns depends on which one we feed the most. 🐺

“Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.” Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Confederacy.
I am a west African and I can 1000 percent say that everything Candice presented is the sad truth. Slavery was never started by the whites. Our ancestors didn't do enough to secure our future.
Wo yɛ gyimi ana. That woman is evil, she is betraying black people for her own personal gain. Haiti abolished slavery before any european nation. Some African states resisted it too. In Ghana you have Gwollu and nalerigu anti slave raid walls. Europeans ended the trade that they started there is not a good thing in that. And it was not always out of the goodness of their hearts. Part of the reason they stopped it was that it was no longer viable economically. They also switched to indentured labourers and the so called emancipated people were offered no help or compensation and became destitute. There were also lots of revolts going on. Not to mention the recognised abolitionists like wilberforce were preceded and inspired by black African abolitionists. It is sad how ignorant some of you are !
The white folks were just more brutal. Why are all the slaves in America speaking only English? Why do most black Africans have white blood in em when genetic testing is done? Do you know about the breeding programs of slaves at the time? And there are more......
@@AmonAnon-vw3hr hehe, american slavery was 100 percent more brutal. If you don't think so, why is there 0 African culture in america, why are a lot of African Americans partially white genetically? Why are a bunch of Africans from different parts of Africa so closely related in some places? I can tell, can YOU tell.
Im Australian and I knew everything Candace said, think Americans should seriously question their education institutions. Seems the American children are not taught all the facts but sold a narrative.
The problem is that in the US the democrats who lost the Civil War are the ones that are in charge of history and the education system... a bad choice to have the losers in charge of how history is seen
The education system in the US gets worse as time goes on. I learned the things Candice Owens talks of here when I was in school but that was a long time ago, 1960's and early 1970's. Now they think math is racist because most are to stupid to learn it.
Yep,I'm Australian and learnt all of this at school . It's sad that the truth isn't being taught to the American people. I guess it doesn't fit the current narrative
The issue is that if you acknowledge that it wasn't only one race/reason for slavery a whole lot of excuses for modern American ills just...disappear. Chinese and Irish weren't treated much better than the freedmen when it came time to building the railroad...but we don't see the Asian's or Irish clutching their pearls screaming about the injustices they faced when their ancestors arrived in America. Instead all they say is, "Blacks were enslaved, this is the reason for the inequity." They know MLK and they know he had a dream...they just don't want to commit the same amount of effort that MLK and those activists did back then to be seen and treated as equals in non-segregated society. Many modern minorities, particularly those born in America, want to be seen as equal but treated special because of their ethnicity/background (same applies to many who claim they want to be 'normal like everybody else' until that very equality is inconvenient to them personally, then they have a system/injustice to fight). It's amusing in the same way that most LGBT+ who support Palestine are blissfully unaware HAMAS (and the PLO before them) have declined multiple peace offers while using their civilian population as meat-shields while attacking. Or how they received refuge in Jordan and then tried to overthrow the Jordanian monarch who offered them that sanctuary. Or that the people they're protesting for do not believe the LGBT have a right to exist...but again, a failure of education in order to mold the masses how it suits them. Stupidity is inevitably a self-correcting problem. @@infin8ee

Yep. Part of the British mandate included fighting pirates that were taking English citizens as slaves across their territories. The British have been fighting slavers for centuries at this point.
I was born in 93 and was taught all about this. But at some point since it changed and has become more prevalent to not be in the curriculum. A lot of Americans are led to believe that this history isn't the truth, and that it is "white washed" or something on those lines. I am not an expert on any of this but just stating my experience.
I'm an American teaching in Europe and European students aren't taught this either, at least in Spain and Germany. Maybe your generation was, but kids today are only taught propaganda about how conservatives are bad and that they should eat less meat and more vegetables.
Same here i was raised as a British expat in the gulf and they just changed the name of it. I know so many truly horrific stories in the emirates . I remember when the leader of the phillipines banned women going to the Emirates for work because of what was happening to them. Their embassies never helped them and just returned them to their " sponsors ". So disturbing.
Yes. And even exist today in America's good friend Israel. ( And I'm not talking about the Palestinians.... I'm talking about poor Jews that scrape up the money to go to Israel... Then have their documents confiscated by their new "employers"... Who then threaten and abuse these immigrants into submission. )
Slavery was OFFICIALLY banned in Saudi-Arabia in 1962, almost a hundred years after USA. But it still PRACTICALLY still lives today in many arab countries, a sort of "underground slavery".
In Islam Slavery is ok ! Child marriage too ... more than 7 th centuries of arabo musulman slave trade did millions and millions of victims. do you know why an Enuque worth a lot of monney ? -Cause few of them survive to their castration ( balls cut off ).

More prevalent today than it was 300 years ago, sadly. Seems that the endeavours of us British, American and European countries back in the 18th and 19th centuries changed very little. Here in the UK, the debt we incurred to buy slaves out of subjugation and into freedom back then was only paid off fully in 2015. Then we hear and read of places in this world that currently subjugate millions against their will. Middle East, UAE, South America, Africa (still) and some parts of North and East Asia. More people in forced slavery today than in the 18th century.

I am a 64 year old native American. I applaud you for learning the truth even though you find it hard to believe. What is really sad is you should have learned this in high school or at the very least in college.
USA doesn't teach world history, in fact the education system teaches to a level to create a docile obedient workforce while dazzling you with shinny things you don't really need keeping you in a perpetual cycle of work and spend.creating wealth for the clever elite and short term satisfaction for the dumb until the next shinny distraction.
Mostly, but there is a big lie by omission. Europeans found that trying to survive in Africa's interior was impossible, so they hired Arabs to go hunt down a Specific tribe of of people who had fled into Africa. They also bribed reluctant Chiefs to go hunting for them by first getting them drunk.
The slavery started in mesopotamia, and the muslims + the north africans practiced it first. You wonder why the word slave itself came from slav (slavic)? Because they used the eastern europeans as fuel for their slave market. Meanwhile the europeans didn't really had any slaves around that time.
When Britain ended slavery with their abolition act they used 40% of the national treasury to do it. They borrowed so much money to end slavery that it was actually only fully paid back in 2014. This amazes me because what it means is that everyone born in the UK and working in the UK for the past nearly 200 years has helped to contribute to the end of slavery by paying back that money through their taxes
What you wrote there is absolutely huge. At the time the UK Government took the risk of bankrupting their country/empire to pay reparations to certain groups/countries. As you said, we only stopped paying for that 10 years ago. Huge!
@@mostlyinterested1016 I agree and it’s something that seems to always be ignored or just not taught to people. It took two centuries and multiple generations of people to pay back that money because it was the right thing to do and Im certain if you were to walk out in the street and ask anyone in any of the 4 nations of the UK about it 90% of them would tell you they’d never heard that before or been taught about it or even knew
Britan has been paying money back to the slave owners, not the formerly enslaved or their descendants. In fact the descendants of slavery have been paying the owners all this time. Pretty disgusting and immoral. Why did British people stand for this if they were so anti slavery?
@@annettewilcox5413 no the British have been paying back the money they borrowed from their own treasury that was used to end slavery. The British owe the descendants of slaves absolutely nothing because while slavery has existed *far* longer than the British empire ever has it was them that ended slavery in the west which then had a ripple effect all over Europe and into America. If it wasn’t for the British there would be *no* “descendants of slaves” only “slaves” It’s so strange how people like you really do try your best to ignore fact and history so that you can continue to hold some sort of vendetta against something that no longer exists or is even relevant to most people in the world today. I would suggest that instead of trying to rewrite history and moan about how hard it is that over 200 years ago there were slaves in Britain and the west you actually channel that energy into trying to help the current slaves in Africa and the Middle East - the ones who are actually in need of help and the *only* ones with any single right to complain about how slavery has destroyed their lives.
She also leaves a lot of truth out as well. Like the omission that Europe had slaves, or who the thousands of white people fought against to stop slavery. Or the very fact the very slavery they abolished was the the slavery they instituted.

That’s what gets me. People in the US wanting reparations l, for WHAT. Get a job and take responsibility for yourself for Christ sake. You weren’t a slave. You parents weren’t a slave. Yet I would bet most of what you own is from slave labor. There are ACTUAL slaves today and they use their voices to whine and exempt themselves from taking any form of accountability for their situation. Absolutely horrific
Thomas Sowell said something that really opened my eyes about the history of slavery. "People weren't enslaved because of their skin color, but because they were vulnerable." It was the poor and voiceless who couldn't defend themselves or protect their children who became slaves, not because their skin was a certain color but because they were 'easy pickin's.'
That’s disingenuous. That statement may be true for the world, however in the 13 colonies then the USA, race was the primary reason that determined a slave for LIFE! Anti-Black Freedom remained an American law for 100 years after Slavery ended in the States.

When you think about it. Without the British empire the ban on slavery wouldn’t have been successful. The Brits forced other countries to stop because they essentially owned the seas and would stop slave ships, the brits stopped a lot of things people used to consider normal via the empire. They did bad things too, horrendous things, like ethnic cleansing. However a lot of what we take for granted today was actually from the British empire. Unlike America too, she slavery wa banned the average British person was happy about it. They didn’t have a civil war over it. Infact hundreds of thousands of Brits signed partitions demanding it to be banned in the empire. The internet doesn’t like this version of history though, especially Americans who are spoon fed “England bad” all their lives. It’s never that simple.

Since they asked for more info : If you look up modern slavery in africa , there is an [estimate of at least] 3.8 million slaves. (Thats just in Africa) You also have to consider human/$£× trafficking around the world . (Also Its not just about labor or $£×-but also about organs , torture , and murder) If you seen the movie series "Hostel"/ know about the profit to be made cause the cost and demand of organs/know about rituals-its a little more clear .
Most people don't claim that white people created racism though. It's a pointless talking point created by conservatives to get away with being racist while they profiteer off of the racism they created.

Well under Muslim african trade, black males were mostly castrated not to spread their genes in the middle East. See Tidiane N'Diaye. The Veiled Genocide.
And no one is guilty either -- of the sins of their ancestors or of their racial group or of their whole society or country -- that's called "collective guilt" and we all THOUGHT we had put paid to that concept after World War II with the Nuremberg Trials. You are ONLY guilty of bad things that YOU do -- that's it. I'm not to blame if my father stole cars, or my great-great-great-great-grandfather owned slaves. Most of my ancestors were northerners, many here since the 1600's, and some of them among the Puritans of Massachusetts and Quakers of Pennsylvania were in the forefront of the abolitionist movement in the 19th century. Some of them may have been among the Irish immigrants that protested the draft during the American Civil War, when a draft riot turned into a race riot, with the new immigrants saying they didn't come to America to immediately go to war to help free black slaves -- I don't know, but I do feel a certain amount of shame and regret for my Irish blood that this happened -- but NOT guilt. One of my ancestors, Silus Pepoon -- was in the Union Army fighting against slavery -- then after the Civil War, in 1865, he became and Indian fighter -- that's right -- he was sent West, to fight and relocate and tame and sometimes kill the American Indians that inhabited the Plains. And guess what -- he ended up falling in love with an American Indian woman, Sasheeta. They married and had children, of whom I am a direct descendant -- that's where I get my drop of Miq'Mac Algonquin American Indian blood -- I'm pretty sure it's a lot more than "Pocahontas" -- i.e., Elizabeth Warren -- has -- and I still wouldn't DARE to put that I was American Indian down on a university admissions application!! And BTW -- that was just a for instance, a hypothetical -- to my knowledge, my father never stole any cars!! And I have no slaveowners among my ancestors that I know of either.
@@Kairon111161yeah people think too simplistically with ancestry. 10 generations back everyone has ancestors from all walks of life because the number of ancestors doubles every previous generation.

Recently, on a guided tour in Jamaica, the 40-year old guide who was born in and lived in Jamaica all his life, commented in conversation that slavery started and continues with black people selling their own people.

Kiss teeeeeet. Jamaican here. Conflating tribal slavery within the context of American imperialist chattel slavery isn’t a serious argument. No where in the same realm.

Whether it's a bully on the playground, a powerful tribe in Africa or pre-colonial America, or a nation like Germany or Japan during WW2. It's a sad reality, that unfortunately seems to be a part of human nature.
So? The issues with American slavery today aren't that it was slavery, it's that it was racist and the racism didn't just vanish when slavery was abolished.
@@Helldog6 any psychologist will tell you that first came slavery, black people weren’t considered less than because of their skin colour, but because of their status, the the American people decided this is wrong and fought a war over it, well it was a lot more complicated than that, so the war is won by the north and slaves are emancipated then racism starts, these men and women can no longer be looked down upon because of their status. So what is it that makes them different ahhhh it is the colour of their skin and their previous status, let’s us look down upon them and in doing so lift ourselves above them it no longer matters if I am a poor white ignorant man I have found someone I can say I am better than. This is true tribalism and we see it every day in peoples interactions on the internet. What is virtue signalling if not a group indicating they are better than another because of a set of views and opinions that they hold. Woahhh that was a bit of a rambling rant apologies.
@@Helldog6 racism was born from slavery. American Society today has never been better for black people to get ahead.

Where are these white supremacists? All laws are now in place so that everyone can do anything they want to. There is no oppression.
@@Sofasurfa I don't care what Psychologists say, they don't determine historical reality. The *facts* state that white people thought of black people as lower than them - *regardless* of their status as slaves. There are literally countless primary historical sources that prove this to be true.. In fact, confederacy leadership prior to the war had stated in public that black people were better off as slaves. So this idea that 'racism only started *after* slavery ended' because they needed to find *something* to look down at them for is preposterous. You can even look at the differences between the way Black slaves were treated and compare them to the way white slaves were treated (even they even had white slaves at all).
I served 4 years in the military and I experienced racism from all races. There is good and bad in all races. Keep up the learning we all benefit when we all learn from the past.
Likely what you experienced is friendly banter between men forming a brotherhood but you’re told you should be a victim so instead of embracing how you’re hardwired, you’d rather be told how to feel. Emotionless, opinionless, … what has the world become.
We are all more or less racist. In that we are more sceptical of those who don't look like us. But it looks like there is more racism today than for a long time. And black people seem the worst at present. I am white myself.
During the 15th to 19th centuries, European powers like Portugal, Britain, the Netherlands, and others were involved in the exploration and exploitation of West Africa's coastal regions. They often engaged in raids on coastal towns to capture slaves for the transatlantic slave trade, which was a brutal and tragic period in history. She should tell the whole truth, when British and other colonizers went to west Africa especially Ghana(previously called Gold Coast known for its wealth in Gold), they raided the small coastal towns when they first arrived and sent the slaves to America and Britain, some tribes fought back and they started to loose soldiers. So to acquire slaves, some European colonizers schemed, manipulated and fueled conflicts between different African tribes and kingdoms, which contributed to instability, wars and violence in the region, They forced tribes to war each other and at times then backing one tribe over the other. When the wars was over, they then took the prisoners of war and sent them on slave ships. This approach was part of their divide-and-conquer tactic, which aimed to exploit existing rivalries and instigate new ones among the local populations. European powers did engage in military conflicts against African kingdoms and tribes during the period of colonization. When local African kingdoms or tribes resisted or opposed European colonization or the slave trade, the European powers would often resort to force and military actions to assert their control. The European colonizers would establish forts and trading posts along the coast and sometimes inland, using them as bases for their operations. Many families were torn apart, with husbands separated from wives, parents from children, and siblings from each other and sent on slave ships. The emotional and psychological toll of losing family members to the slave trade was profound and devastating. For enslaved individuals, the experience of being forcibly taken from their families and communities was traumatic and contributed to the enduring legacy of pain and loss for generations. European traders had advanced military technology and firepower compared to many African communities. This power imbalance made it difficult for some African tribes to resist or oppose the demands of European slave traders, therefore in a few cases, African middlemen and coastal tribes collaborated with European slave traders by capturing and selling fellow Africans to the European ships, also very few African middlemen and coastal tribes may not have fully understood the extent of the inhumane treatment and suffering that awaited the enslaved Africans once they reached the Americas and the Caribbean. It's essential to understand the historical context and the power dynamics at play during that period. The transatlantic slave trade was an exploitative system that systematically dehumanized and oppressed Africans, regardless of the involvement of a few African middlemen and coastal tribes, and not all members of these tribes participated in the trade. Europeans were already enslaving africans even before the involvment of theses tribes and middlemen. There were over a 100 ethnic groups in Ghana alone and less that 13 of them might have participated in the trade. Various Akan states, such as the Fante and Denkyira, resisted European incursions and slave raids along the Gold Coast. In the northern regions of Ghana, the Gonja and Dagomba kingdoms were known for their resistance against the transatlantic slave trade and European domination. The Ga-Dangme people, primarily located in the Accra region, also resisted European advances and participated in armed confrontations against European forces. The Ewe and Anlo tribes, located in the eastern parts of present-day Ghana, resisted the slave trade and colonization by European powers The Ashanti Kingdom was known for its military prowess and successfully defended its territory against British forces in multiple wars during the 19th century. There were more than 4 countries in Ghana alone doing this(British, Portuguese, Swedish, Denmark, French and Germany). Competing for more slaves and gold. There are 54 countries in Africa,and they all have a story to tell. Different wars were fought over centuries for freedom from European conquerers. Some tribes mostly exchanged gold for mirrors, gin and gunpowder not slaves. Enslaved Africans who managed to escape from plantations and European control formed maroon communities in remote and inaccessible areas. These communities served as safe havens and centers of resistance against the slave trade and slavery. Slavery was abolished because several tribes and kingdoms in Ghana and neighboring areas fought back against the slave trade, as well as against European colonial encroachments European slave traders and colonial powers often retaliated against African tribes and communities that resisted their involvement in the slave trade. When African communities refused to collaborate or resisted attempts to capture and sell fellow Africans, European traders resorted to various punitive measures to assert their control. The abolitionist movements exerted political pressure on European governments during the late 18th and early 19th centuries to reconsider the institution of slavery. The abolitionist movement gained momentum in Europe and North America, some Africans and European-descended individuals in the colonies also participated in advocacy efforts.The international community, including other European nations and non-European powers, began to question and condemn the slave trade, leading to treaties and agreements that contributed to its eventual abolition. Industrialization and technological advancements reduced the need for large-scale slave labor in certain regions. Moral and humanitarian arguments against slavery gained traction during the Enlightenment period. Abolitionists highlighted the inherent cruelty and injustice of slavery, leading to a broader societal awareness of the need to end the practice. If you you choose to leave out all these important details, lie by ommission, gaslight and decide to attack the majority of the African people who have gone through generations of trauma, and just want to be left alone. It just speaks to me in great volumes the type of person you are. The scary thing is they have started removing, changing and falsifying the chain of events that led to the complex structure of the slave trade, i've seen this on several websites including wikpedia. All these facts were up there a year ago. When i check the timestamp of these articles today, it mostly says it was changed 6 days ago or a month ago. Shocking!. If u think white people went to africa to sing and dance with the natives? go ahead and beleive what you want to beleive. History is always being whitewashed. I cant find most of the website sources.

u think white people went to africa to sing and dance with the natives who they describe as subhuman? go ahead and beleive what you want to beleive. Ive literally seen someone change and falisfy information on wikipedia just six days ago by checking the timestamp. and also on other sites. Empires lterally fought so they dont get captured by theses white raids all accross south africa to west africa.She lies by omisson. Continue to believe your whitewashed history and leave the africans alone.
@@voxupvibes Not a lot of room to tell all the story in 5 minutes. She did go on to discuss the fact that black people from Africa are still being exploited for slavery in non-white, non-free countries today. Sold by their fellow citizens.
Muhammed Ali said something similarly -- crude & insightful. copied from Wikiquote: In the early 1970s Muhammad Ali fought for the heavyweight title against George Foreman. The fight was held in the African nation of Zaire; it was insensitively called the "rumble in the jungle." Ali won the fight, and upon returning to the United States, he was asked by a reporter, "Champ, what did you think of Africa?" Ali replied, "Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat!" There is a characteristic mischievous pungency to Ali's remark, yet it also expresses a widely held sentiment. Ali recognizes that for all the horror of slavery, it was the transmission belt that brought Africans into the orbit of Western freedom. The slaves were not better off-the boat Ali refers to brought the slaves through a horrific Middle Passage to a life of painful servitude-yet their descendants today, even if they won't admit it, are better off. Ali was honest enough to admit it.
Not initially, but eventually. I know we have a lot of problems in the US and I am working on solving them, but all said and done...we have historically ended up being a nation of more light than darkness, morally speaking.
During the 15th to 19th centuries, European powers like Portugal, Britain, the Netherlands, and others were involved in the exploration and exploitation of West Africa's coastal regions. They often engaged in raids on coastal towns to capture slaves for the transatlantic slave trade, which was a brutal and tragic period in history. She should tell the whole truth, when British and other colonizers went to west Africa especially Ghana(previously called Gold Coast known for its wealth in Gold), they raided the small coastal towns when they first arrived and sent the slaves to America and Britain, some tribes fought back and they started to loose soldiers. So to acquire slaves, some European colonizers schemed, manipulated and fueled conflicts between different African tribes and kingdoms, which contributed to instability, wars and violence in the region, They forced tribes to war each other and at times then backing one tribe over the other. When the wars was over, they then took the prisoners of war and sent them on slave ships. This approach was part of their divide-and-conquer tactic, which aimed to exploit existing rivalries and instigate new ones among the local populations. European powers did engage in military conflicts against African kingdoms and tribes during the period of colonization. When local African kingdoms or tribes resisted or opposed European colonization or the slave trade, the European powers would often resort to force and military actions to assert their control. The European colonizers would establish forts and trading posts along the coast and sometimes inland, using them as bases for their operations. Many families were torn apart, with husbands separated from wives, parents from children, and siblings from each other and sent on slave ships. The emotional and psychological toll of losing family members to the slave trade was profound and devastating. For enslaved individuals, the experience of being forcibly taken from their families and communities was traumatic and contributed to the enduring legacy of pain and loss for generations. European traders had advanced military technology and firepower compared to many African communities. This power imbalance made it difficult for some African tribes to resist or oppose the demands of European slave traders, therefore in a few cases, African middlemen and coastal tribes collaborated with European slave traders by capturing and selling fellow Africans to the European ships, also very few African middlemen and coastal tribes may not have fully understood the extent of the inhumane treatment and suffering that awaited the enslaved Africans once they reached the Americas and the Caribbean. It's essential to understand the historical context and the power dynamics at play during that period. The transatlantic slave trade was an exploitative system that systematically dehumanized and oppressed Africans, regardless of the involvement of a few African middlemen and coastal tribes, and not all members of these tribes participated in the trade. Europeans were already enslaving africans even before the involvment of theses tribes and middlemen. There were over a 100 ethnic groups in Ghana alone and less that 13 of them might have participated in the trade. Various Akan states, such as the Fante and Denkyira, resisted European incursions and slave raids along the Gold Coast. In the northern regions of Ghana, the Gonja and Dagomba kingdoms were known for their resistance against the transatlantic slave trade and European domination. The Ga-Dangme people, primarily located in the Accra region, also resisted European advances and participated in armed confrontations against European forces.

@@voxupvibes There were multiple countries buying. but, the Europeans were not doing the hunting. Prior to the discovery of a cure for Malaria, Africa was known as "The White Man's Grave". In other words, white men had no resistance to Malaria. If white men went into the land, they would die. The locals had developed a resistance. They'd get sick, but not die. The slaves were all brought to the coast, for them to buy. As far as groups waring against each other, they were doing that already. It was a military strategy to have strangers buy their enemies. Evil is in the heart of man, not in the color of skin.
You need to drop all the handles African Americans Italian American Irish American Scottish American Mexican American Chinese Americans As far as I know , you are the only country on the planet that compartmentalises it’s populous I know in the history of the world your a young country, but you have the benefit of the internet and a lot of history books , so why are so many Americans ignorant of the rest of the world’s history
This cannot be stated enough!! This is how the corrupt politicians keep us divided! The only Nation I have any allegiance to is this one 👉🇺🇸! I am AMERICAN and where my ancestors immigrated from is irrelevant! I know who I am!!
From a white grandma! I am so proud of you guys to study the history. There is good and bad in all color, we just need to take the time to get to know the person, not the color!
Yeah, except this video (and Candace Owens) is disingenuous and putting slavery at the fault of Black people who experienced it is completely wrong. Everything in this video is a lie and made to make White people involved in the slave trade as sympathetic and Black people to be blamed for their own demise. Why are you proud they’re getting bad information?
FUN FACT about the brits. They didn't end their practice of slavery as much as they rebranded it and started doing it to Indians and a number of other Asian peoples by tricking them into thinking they were being hired on for jobs. instead of that they would put them on ships and send them off to their colony's. they called them the coolies. Something that is as bad to call someone as the N word I should add. There is a reason why you can find Indian people on ever one of they're major colonies. Also, do note that ALLLLL of the stuff they did to black folks they did to them as far as treatment and dehumanization. You can still find those people today. Like the people who lived through that are still alive. Old but alive. It didn't end for a long time. Worse the brits never acknowledged what they did. I'm so sick of people saying that white people ended slavery NO THEY DIDN'T! heck look at the states and share cropping AKA debt slavery. Not to mention the fact that it is still LEGAL to enslave criminals in America. A thing that they happily still do. ALOT of plantations straight up became prisons just for that reason. here's some vids talking about it. th-cam.com/video/3Cncg3yhWPI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/HBEvEr_UtYA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/j4kI2h3iotA/w-d-xo.html
Sound of Freedom shined a light on how slavery is at an all time high. The thing that connects these two eras of slavery is that it was never about race or nationality but about vulnerability. There will always be people that take advantage of the weak. That mindset is what connects them. Not race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.
Sadly, in the first world competition to be "victims" the reality has already been lost. Some sad attempts to create an external foe to foster unity of purpose notwithstanding, the west will remain divided against itself. I 'm not even sure myself if that's a bad thing or not. If history teaches one thing it's that no matter how awful the circumstances, how oppressive the government of the day, the world keeps turning and empires pass away. The only thing that should worry us is: What comes next?
Great reaction video and kinda was shocked you guys did not already realize the Candice video discussed. Makes me wonder about the high school curriculum of where you guys were raised. As someone that taught school in Appalachia...the same kind of reactions would occur by my hillbilly students any time I mentioned that everyone was equal. They have a lot of the same misconceptions about people of race (I often had to remind myself that their ignorance was simply due to parenting and the fact they never travelled outside of their area of the nation much less internationally). Great vid and thanks a lot for sharing!!! :)
Most educated Black people know white people did not go into the jungle . It was only after the continent was weakened, that whites went in land. Neve the less, the American Slave system was one of the worst war crimes in history. Moreover, this country that I love, still needs to pay reparations for it's part in theses crimes.
"Racism has to stop." Now THERE'S a new idea!! "Racism will end when it's no longer financially profitable ...or, psychologically useful." Toni Morrison
@@lauramiddleton2709 I said what I said: “Racism will end when it’s no longer financially profitable, or psychologically useful.” Toni Morrison This is also true for sexism. Which part of this truth offends your sensibilities?
I’m a white Australian, love this channel and the sensible discussions you have around your table. This is what is missing from schools and the main stream media. CRITICAL THINKING AND OPEN DIALOGUE WITHOUT WANTING TO CLOSE DOWN FREE SPEECH. ITS history and should never be erased or embellished to suit one group or another.
@@bordy3365Exactly, Poland never had slaves from other countries (because we are slaves are were enslaved by Ottomans) but slavery existed there as well. The lowest class: peasants were treated just like slaves, the same happened in other countries that did not have 'traditional' slaves but had the lowest class that served the same function as them.
My sister-in-law was born in Iran. Her Father was a Colonel and personal Physician to the Shah of Iran. Her family had slaves. Blew my mind when she told me that. The number is higher than anyone will possibly know. 😢
Do you mean her father was "Abdol Karim Ayadi"? He was the Shah's personal physician and was a well known man... And no, at that time, there were no slaves in Iran. slavery was abolished in 1929 in Iran; And even before that time (around 1870) the act of slavery was very uncommon and was only done by monarchs and the slaves were work in palaces as "Eunuch".
Lebanese brother-in-law worked in that wonderful nation Saudi Arabia for a spell. His description of it was "it's really fucking orange everywhere you go, can't see shit outside it's so blinding; and they assigned me a helper guy who was basically a slave; he came from a poor family, couldn't vote, basically had no human rights, and he followed me around like _Can I help you, Sir?_ like a lost dog, and I was like 'Fuck this creepy-ass shit, I gotta get out of here'."
The debt incurred by the British in the fight against slavery was finally cleared by the British tax payer in 2015. I have literally payed towards this debt
This is why history is so important and we can't stand by and allow some people to try and hide it, twist it etc for their own greedy and evil purposes. Much love from Australia
I am a first generation immigrant. And I am so absolutely fortunate to be in America and to be an American. That's one of the biggest blessings of my life that my parents brought me to this country. My black American brothers, you were mostly born in one of the greatest countries in the world instead of a miserable place in this world like I was. Take this gift with both hands, and reach for the stars! My family came with nothing and we have truly achieved the American dream when I didn't even know the language when I got here! You are smart, entrepreneurial, and if you are not afraid of hard work and saving money and investing it, you can make it huge for not just you but your families as well! And when you make it, please inspire other black people to do the same instead of those multi-millionaire rappers and NBA stars who tell their brothers and sisters that they can't make it even though THEY DID!
Amen. The American dream is not so short sighted to be about you. It is about your effort being able to improve your next generations. Yes, some may have had a head start. That will always exist in all things in life. The promise America makes to all is that here, you can put in effort, and you will struggle. But if you give your children good values and a work ethic, they too can push to improve their next generation. Thats the part the modern liberals have stopped understanding. Why? Because a large portion of them don't want a next generation. They want to abort their kids and party until they grow old. This is entirely acceptable in a free society, but you ultimately squandered your American Dream in a selfish manner.
I am an old white guy from Kentucky. I love to watch you guys react to songs and tv shows. You are clever and funny and remind me of some of my friends from the Navy. I do watch you guys to see your take on hot topics on cultural issues. I love a different perspective. Thank you for honestly sharing with everyone
Thank you for this channel. I am Native American and my wife is white but have no hate or hold any grudge for the past. It was long before my time. All I want is to teach my daughter right from wrong. Keep it going, Thank you 🙏🏽
Well said 👏🏼 I get annoyed for you as a British person when I see Americans moan about foreigners,and native Americans,Everyone in the USA are foreigners except for the native Americans.
It's also part of a communist plan from well over 50 years ago to use the racial divide and start civil war within our country. Divided we fall.... that's been the plan for decades.
yes-just like feminism--it is a billion dollar business and so the government pushed it when the reality is---woman have equal rights in Canada and the US
@@1therabbithole Reparations are a black hole. You can never give enough. There's no point at which people are going to decide that enough was given and that it's repaid. Instead, black people need to move past that. It's not a good mindset to feel like you're a victim who is owed something. If you think that way, you'll never take responsibility for your own life, but if you do take responsibility for it, then you can start improving it. Whatever you could have gotten from reparations pales in comparison to what you can do if you let that go and move forward.
5 years ago I met a slave woman who was working for an extremely wealthy family from the United Arab Emirates. I was working as a maid in a 5 star hotel in the Netherlands and this family was staying in one of the luxury apartments on the top floor of the hotel. This lady was not allowed to look at or speak to the family members, only to people working for the family, for example the cook who I talked to occasionally. She told me that her ID and passport was taken away and she is not getting paid. She is bound to that family for life
Yep, did a quick work contract in the UAE. Lots of "bonded" people from Bangladesh, Indonesia and the Philippines who have their passports "legally" held by their employers. It's crazy and horrible. The reason I didn't go permanent once the contract was up was I had to leave. Even the flight attendants for the airline from Eastern Europe were increasingly under restriction. They couldn't leave the UAE on time off unless approved.
Yup. I read an article about a Filipino that grew up in California during the 70s and 80s. His family had a "maid" (also Filipino), that he later realized was a slave. Apparently her husband was killed, and her family couldn't support her, so she offered herself to a family that could feed her. They brought her with them when the emigrated to the US. She had no rights, and although the children loved her like an aunt, the rest of the family treated her terribly.
Yeah keep your lies to yourself. I lived there for 20 years these people get paid they are not slaves. They get paid a little amount there is no denying that but they are not held against their will anymore than you as an employee are held to specific policies within your work place. Enough hating on the Arabs just because they are Arab
Moses, was PRINCE OF EYGPT, when he said this.... 😮 let's you know that the TYPE OF SLAVERY, BASED ON LIES ABOUT SKIN COLOR WAS INDEED THE ONLY THING ON EARTH INVENTED BY WHITE PEOPLE. READ 4REAL. READ OLD BOOKS.
Hey guys. I love y' all & your reactions so much. I was a kid coming up in the 70s and 80s and remember that the good way of thinking of things and people was always to ignore pretty much your skin color and to see the similarities and that we're all human. I've always been that way. But nowadays - - apparently thinking that people are the same down deep inside is discriminatory and r@cist. I'm not kidding. I was just starting a new job and taking all the orientation classes. I saw in black and white that it is wrong to think of people that way and that it's culturally insensitive to look beyond culture and r@ce and think of us as all the same. The US and the West have lost their minds! Divide and conquer! That's their plan
I am 72 years old, and I knew from an early age that slavery was something found throughout the world, going back into ancient times. It was not "invented" in 1619. I heard slavery talked about in the Bible, for instance, and movies in the 1950's depicted slavery in ancient Egypt ("Land of the Pharaohs," 1955) and ancient Rome ("Ben-Hur," 1959), among others. Movies back then also showed how Black Americans were often disenfranchised in the current society ("A Raisin in the Sun," 1961) and how far apart Black and white Americans were in understanding one another ("The Defiant Ones," 1958). These were serious subjects that were addressed in a introspective manner in the general media, with an aim toward advancing civil rights for Blacks and correcting biases, attitudes, and illegalities. As Americans, we do not inhabit a "perfect" union, but one where we strive for "a more perfect union."
Thank you for your educated and honest response. If everyone, worldwide, had even half of your attitude and sense of personal responsibility, the entire world would be a far better world.
BLACK SLAVES WERE A PROBLEM FOR EARLY SETTLERS. SLAVES REVOLTED MANY TIMES, THEIR WERE SLAVES WHO WENT TO MEXICO, THERE WERE SLAVES WHO JOINED NATIVES. WHITE DIDNT JUST DECIDE TO FREE SLAVES. SLAVES CORRESPONDED WITH MANY ETHNIC WHITE WHO DESPISED SLAVERY BECAUSE OF CHRISTAINITY. BLACKS HELPED INSTIGATE CIVIL WAR WITH LIKE MINDED WHITES TO CAUSE CIVIL WAR. THERE WAS ALOT OF DRAMA GOING ON DURING SLAVERY TIMES. PEOPLE NEED TO DO THEIR RESEARCH. YES AFRICANS DID SELL OTHER TRIBES BENIN, AFRICA YES.
She should tell the whole truth, when British and other colonizers went to west Africa especially Ghana, they raided the small coastal towns when they first arrived and sent the slaves to America and Britain, some tribes fought back. then they started to loose soldiers so they started forming alliances scheming and manipulating and forcing the tribes to war each other and back one tribe over the other. They also fought against towns that didn't want to do their will. when the war was over, they will take the prisoners of war and sent them on slave ships. Note that there were more than four countries in Ghana doing this(British, Portuguese, Swedish, Denmark and Germany). it was a competition for them on who got more slaves. The people mostly exchanged gold for mirrors, gin and gunpowder not slaves. They only abolish slavery because the colonies fought back, they stole almost all of the natural resources and also because of a few good white men who fought and died and believed in equality.
Us oldtsters seem to have gotten alot more background knowledge of the world growing up. These poor kids today have so much knowledge accessible to them but don’t place any importance on learning about human history. It helps you understand yourself and who you are in the grand scheme of things. It is so helpful to understand how YOU are connected to your past (ancestors, cultures).
Candace said slavery ended. I beg your pardon, what about the 13th amendment of the U.S. constitution? Also, who invented the Jim Crow laws and Neoslavery?
Chattel slavery still exists in countries in Africa. Most of the time it's little children mining the raw materials that make up smart phones. Not to mention the children kidnapped and drugged to become child soldiers. Slavery has been a norm in every aspect of human history. The idea that every human is born equal is an abnormality in our history.
Child soldiers are common in the ME too..all those ppl complaining about how children were killed in Palestine or by troops etc..child soldiers! Westerners are rather dumb to not understand this.
Lmao, We all know Candace owens is lying. She lies by omitting facts. She goes around spewing White Racist Republican propaganda. Sorry but that is not the truth. There was nothing like the Chattel Slavery system in America. You really couldn't call it slavery, it was 400 years of Terrorism. The Whites practiced Pedophile on Black Children. etc. The fact is your are our Enemy. And America is about to engage in a war with Russia and China, and finally this country will be destroyed. Whites are fast becoming a minority as well.
Exactly. The deaths of 2 million people during the transatlantic slave trade is COMPLETELY negated by the fact that eventually someone stopped it. No doubt if Hitler had won the war, he'd have run out of Jews by around 1960, and we'd have to forgive him. Or maybe he'd have stopped of his own accord before that, in which case he would have been a hero.
3:42 All true, and as an African I’m always surprised African Americans don’t know this. But France didn’t exactly end slavery in its colonies, colonization was a form of slavery. Britain and other colonizers completely left their colonies after independence started, France never did, that’s why nearly all African countries colonized by France use a currency printed and valued by France, that’s why all those “ex-colonies” still have agreements dating to colonization period about resources exploitations and hence cannot benefit from it. That’s why most of those countries sea ports are mostly owned and controlled by French multinationals.
@ we do acknowledge it, it’s just that you don’t know what French colonialism is like. It’s much worse and it never ended. Check the developments in African countries you will see the drastic difference between past colonies.
@@nabiladaoua3004funny how you blame France for that.. instead of your corrupted government who suck its citizens and ressources for their own benefits! The two only countries in Africa who never been colonized are the poorest.. FYI 😊
stop being weaklings, for once... if you want change fight for it, it won't come as you're waiting stilly. as French, it's your fault and I drink your tears with pleasure, you can not imagine
I watched a documentary on modern slavery once and they said something that really stuck with me. "You have probably walked by a modern day slave and didn't know it." That sentence F'd me up.
Had seen a person the other day online who made a reddit post about how their employer had taken their passport on arrival and id as well, told they have to pay back loads of money before they can leave, that's slavery it's insane it goes on to this day.
If you want hardcore proof of just how ancient slavery is in human history, one need look no farther than The Code of Hammurabi. The longest, oldest, and best-preserved legal text we have was put down around 1750 BC (nearly 4000 years ago) and specifically addresses slavery in numerous places. IIRC, it even goes so far as to prescribe that someone who steals or unalives someone else's slaves becomes a slave themselves. Alex Haley openly admitted that "Roots" was almost entirely a work of fiction - that his intent was to "create a black mythos". "The Warrior Queen" is even more of an abomination, glorifying the Dahomey Tribe who was among the worst offenders when it came to the slave trade; they actually went to war with Britain and Portugal in order to *PRESERVE* their slavery empire because their entire economy was built upon raiding their neighbors, enslaving them, and selling them to others.
I'm British and we don't live in a 'fish bowl' like many Americans, and I say that with respect but the rest of the world appears to be more aware of true history be it American or global. Candace is correct. The people in power want to keep the US separated and not united for their own selfish gains. You must learn to think critically and check out everything that you are being told, something that is no longer taught or encouraged in schools is freedom of speach and common sense has gone out of the window.
the reason for that? lots of bitter black teachers and a cowardly school board that is scareed of riots or whatever the blacks might do if you take tyheir one thing away. their victim hood. they just want to finish their sentence and retire without issues. 50 years later, of people dodging the truth you get what we have now.
You are correct. As an American I can say with absolute confidence that most Americans are woefully ignorant of world history. We are also woefully ignorant of global current events. If I really want to know what's going on in the world I go to the BBC website. I won't get it from modern American media.
Your fantasy is that the US is united. Black people make up 38% of incarcerated, 50% homeless, 2x unemployed, since stats began being reported in 1954 and have 1/10 wealth of whites even thought we have been on this land for 400 years. Black people know our history in this country. Candace IS a person in power and she wants black people to forget their history in the US cause it benefits her bottom line.
The truth about slavery! I'm so glad people are finally learning what slavery really was. Slavery is not based on appearances, it is based on vulnerability.
This is mostly toa entirely banned, but there were people called serfs. Serfs were basically slaves, and mostly white. Basically, anyone could be slaves if they were too poor.
The search for truth is Conservative according to who? The amount of falsehoods spewed by the Conservative party - not just the people who follow them but the people IN the actual republican party - is literally countless. You don't "search for truth" unless that "truth" fits whatever narrative you want it to. That's why half of ya'll denied COVID while millions of people died. That's why 99% of flat earthers are alt-right wingers and conservative. Anti-Evolution, Anti-climate change, Anti-sex education, Anti-transgender, Anti-LGBTQ+, Anti- stricter Gun laws, Anti-abortion, etc. etc. But yeah, you "search for truth" alright.
Exactly education doesnt need to be politicized its just education no liberal democrat republican whatever its all education on different topics we just havent been properly educated before
During the 15th to 19th centuries, European traders and colonizers like Portugal, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and others were involved in the exploration and exploitation of West Africa's coastal regions. They often engaged in raids on coastal towns to capture slaves for the transatlantic slave trade, which was a brutal and tragic period in history. Raiding and Abduction: European traders often participated directly in slave raids. Coastal areas were particularly vulnerable to such raids, as European ships could easily anchor near the coast. Coastal villages were sometimes attacked, and inhabitants including family members and siblings were captured, seperated and transported to the slave ships waiting offshore. African slaves were transported to various regions of the Americas, including the Caribbean, North America, Central America, and South America. Intertribal Conflicts and Wars: European traders took advantage of existing intertribal conflicts and wars to acquire slaves. They often provided weapons, goods, or other incentives to one African group, encouraging them to engage in conflicts with neighboring tribes. The victors would capture individuals from the defeated group and sell them as slaves. They also sometimes provided support to African groups/traffickers or middlemen to conduct raids since the operation sometimes led to massive loss of their men. African Middlemen: European slave traders established contact with African middlemen, who were often local leaders,local war captains, militias, human traffickers merchants, or intermediaries from coastal regions. These intermediaries were well-acquainted with the interior of Africa and had pre-existing networks for acquiring slaves. Some African societies engaged in slave raids and wars, capturing individuals from rival tribes. The captives were then sold to European traders or local African middlemen. Coercion and Violence: In some cases, Europeans resorted to coercion and violence to obtain slaves. This could involve direct confrontation with local communities or the use of force against individuals who resisted capture. Bartering and Exchange: European traders exchanged goods such as textiles, metalware, firearms, and alcohol for enslaved individuals. These goods were highly sought after by African societies and played a significant role in incentivizing the capture and sale of slaves. Arab, Indian, Persian raids: In addition to the trans-Saharan and transatlantic slave trades, there was an Indian Ocean slave trade involving Arab, Persian, and Indian traders. Slaves were captured in East Africa and transported to various destinations in the Indian Ocean region, including the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Colonization or Colonies: Britain, France and other European powers and had established colonies along the West African coast, including present-day Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. These colonies became central hubs for British involvement in the intra-African slave trade. Slaves were transported to meet the labor demands of European colonies, economic profit or as punishment or crime ,rebellion, resistance or under indentured servitude contracts, where they agreed to work for a specified period in exchange for passage, land, or other considerations. Despite the legal abolition, enforcing the end of the transatlantic slave trade proved challenging. Some European powers and the United States continued to engage in illegal slave trading activities even after passing anti-slave trade legislation. After the abolition, the British Royal Navy actively patrolled the Atlantic to suppress illegal slave trading. They sought to intercept and apprehend ships involved in smuggling enslaved individuals. Despite the legal prohibition, enforcing the abolition proved challenging. Some British traders and shipowners continued to engage in illegal slave trading activities, seeking to evade detection by authorities. Modern day Slavery still exists today in the form of child trafficking, human trafficking and forced labor unfortunately persists predominantly in parts of North America, and South America, Africa, North Africa Europe, Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries and Central Asia. As you can see both sides are guilty to some degree and both sides also fought for what was right, dont let people lie to you. I get that the overall objective is to help black people move on from the negative effects of slavery and unite with everyone as one, but not through lying by ommission nor whiteashing. The means dont always justify the ends. NB: You can fact check with chatgpt i you want.
The fact that y'all are taking this information that you never knew so open mindedly, with such a trusting thirst to understand the truth and to understand true history, and are accepting it even though it's hard, tells me that you are all good folks - you were just fed bad information.

@@owl-go-rhythmz8443 ? Last I checked, this has nothing to do with freedom itself. This is a basic history lesson. Your personal philosophy is not warranted, nor needed here
What are you even talking about? 😂 they teach us that in school already in the United States everything in that video. Also they video said slavery wasn’t invented by whites then proceeded to also talk about slavery in empires not only EUROPE (the white people continent) and Africa and China which we already learn in school. The people in this video was probably to busy being the class clown instead of listening to the teacher teach.
You can thank Sir William Wilberforce Member of Parliament for Hull East Yorkshire England for the abolition of slavery. He with others campaigned for many years in the British Parliament & eventually won. His statue stands with pride in the city of Hull still today. Standing at 110 feet & completed in the year 1835, the column is a worthy monument to a man that the city of Hull & Britain is very proud of. 🇬🇧
Nope you can actually thank sir Thomas Clarkson who got Wilberforce into anti slavery and who got the research and wrote the paper 14 times to get rid of slavery in parliament. Risking his life to do so as slave owners and shipping companies out bounties on his head. You can thank him and his brother for setting up a company that stopped slavery as far as Vietnam and that set up free town in sierre Leon for ex slaves to live . He is from my home town in Cambridgeshire 🇬🇧
@@cashkitty3472 It was Wilberforce that worked for 20 years on the subject in Parliament & got the abolition bill through Parliament & therefore he that stands as the person that abolished slavery. Quote: "Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade-the latter more commonly called the Anti-Slavery Society. He and his associates-Thomas Clarkson, Granville Sharp, Henry Thornton, Charles Grant, Edward James Eliot, Zachary Macaulay, and James Stephen-were first called the Saints and afterward (from 1797) the Clapham Sect, of which Wilberforce was the acknowledged leader."
@@anneanne9009 Seriously, slavery would not have ended without him. Seriously look at the black rulers in Africa that enslaved their own people, selling them to foreigners. Seriously look at all the other leaders of nations that fought to keep slavery after Wilberforce got slavery abolished through Parliament.

Thanks for looking into history and learning about what really happened. A lot of the things that happened in America after slavery was abolished were also very wrong. Different peoples have been treating each other badly for all of history. Things are better and getting better in America and the world. I was born in 1958. I heard the "I have a dream" speech live on the radio in my home in Memphis. Most all people from my generation were glad for the old ways to pass. I , for one, am glad to see young people reaching out for truth and reasoning out the path we should go down. Hate is bad and many times misplaced. Love and understanding is the way of the future and our best hope. Keep up the good work of spreading knowledge and tolerance for everybody. I really enjoy ya'lls videos and glad I found them. Peace.
Everything she said is factual and much (but not all) of it was taught in civics and/or history class in school just 30 or 50 years ago. And this all used to be taught in universities until activists and race hustlers took over administration of universities.
Intentionally dividing people apart is the biggest scam that has been perpetuated against the public at large. Not only do only an extremely few people profit from it but they also move for grabbing more power away from the People with it. It's never been about race...It's never been about religion...It's always been about money & power with no concern about what atrocities they leave in their wake.

oh no we learned this, but being a Hispanic there's a pretty biased culture against American history (parents bring prejudice based on their upbringing and education) for instance my Grandfather *hates* Americans but refuses to acknowledge that due to trade with America, Mexico has become one the top if not the top rising industrial power of the West And that yes even though we have a crime problem that could maybe be attributed to American interest in drugs, we also have thriving cities and communities that are starting to fight back against the Cartels *with* American help Yes, America did harm Mexico in the past (and most probably waged an imperialist war on us) but they have been a strong partner and supporter of Mexican democracy and industry for decades now I'm proud to be an American, I wish he could be too, but it's often hateful or prejudiced family members that turn younger generations against the country and its values
you have to keep in mind the differences in public schooling in the us, so many schools get barely any funding while others get alot more, i live in one of the best educated state one known for good public schooling and i was taught everything in this video in my history classes
5:07 true but lacks depth. Africans had empires, still have tribes, and boarders. So obviously they weren’t always on good terms, there were wars and prisoners were captured, a tribe would sell their prisoners from other tribes or empires. It’s not “we’re all brothers”. The same way Vikings would be bought or sold other Europeans.
Sad to see black folks being hoodwink by a paid black spokesman to push lies about world history and lies by omission too. It's like they don't understand what the hell happened to black folks between the 1500s to the 1960s. 400 years. 1 black president in 200 years. Plantation owners were rewarded, and black veterans were short changed. I'm Mexican American, and I know more about your history than the cartoons Candace is showing you.
You don't know much about global history if you think black people have been and are the only culture who went through slavery. That would help you in a real debate.

No shit! I thought this was fairly common knowledge at this point.
@@Wulfenburg That is a particularly historic Christian trait, playing the victim while being the perpetrator. It was even part of the slave trade as justification for worse treatment than the Christian indentured servants.
It's also what caused the creation of 'white people', once they realized Africans 'could' be Christians, and their justification had less supported religious footing.
Thus was the white power church created - and it doesn't only accept whites, and loves Christians.
These guys have watched Thomas Sowell videos about this same subject, this is just a redo watching Candace Owens talk about the very same subject. But good for them getting this out there for people to see and learn.

These dudes are young and probably didnt pay attention, i in high school or middle school years ago learned about the british outlawing slavery in the atlantic and use to intercept american ships headed to and from africa with slaves.

History is not Conservative, or Liberal...It is just history.
Historical examples of fascism are all accretive of power. Socialism and Communism being liberal/collectivist constructs, are dispersive of power. Means that fascism has always been state capitalism, not socialism or communism. “We the People has more in common with “Co”mm”Uni”sm than it ever did with Capitalism. It doesn’t read as “Me the Person, to form a more Perfect Corporation”.
Conservatism accrues power as liberalism disperses it. It’s in the basic derivation of the terms themselves. Means that all dictators and fascist states are conservative in nature.
Here’s the catch, and what appears to be the flip side of what you just pointed out, is that no one is conservative or liberal per se, but rather we tend to embody characteristics of either/or at any given time.

Wo yɛ gyimi ana.
That woman is evil, she is betraying black people for her own personal gain.
Haiti abolished slavery before any european nation.
Some African states resisted it too. In Ghana you have Gwollu and nalerigu anti slave raid walls.
Europeans ended the trade that they started there is not a good thing in that. And it was not always out of the goodness of their hearts. Part of the reason they stopped it was that it was no longer viable economically.
They also switched to indentured labourers and the so called emancipated people were offered no help or compensation and became destitute.
There were also lots of revolts going on.
Not to mention the recognised abolitionists like wilberforce were preceded and inspired by black African abolitionists.
It is sad how ignorant some of you are !
The white folks were just more brutal. Why are all the slaves in America speaking only English? Why do most black Africans have white blood in em when genetic testing is done? Do you know about the breeding programs of slaves at the time? And there are more......
Africans were kings and queens and still are, why do you think Nollywood exist. Africans were not slaves but they were enslaved.

Im Australian and I knew everything Candace said, think Americans should seriously question their education institutions. Seems the American children are not taught all the facts but sold a narrative.
The problem is that in the US the democrats who lost the Civil War are the ones that are in charge of history and the education system... a bad choice to have the losers in charge of how history is seen
The education system in the US gets worse as time goes on. I learned the things Candice Owens talks of here when I was in school but that was a long time ago, 1960's and early 1970's. Now they think math is racist because most are to stupid to learn it.
Yep,I'm Australian and learnt all of this at school . It's sad that the truth isn't being taught to the American people. I guess it doesn't fit the current narrative
The issue is that if you acknowledge that it wasn't only one race/reason for slavery a whole lot of excuses for modern American ills just...disappear. Chinese and Irish weren't treated much better than the freedmen when it came time to building the railroad...but we don't see the Asian's or Irish clutching their pearls screaming about the injustices they faced when their ancestors arrived in America. Instead all they say is, "Blacks were enslaved, this is the reason for the inequity."
They know MLK and they know he had a dream...they just don't want to commit the same amount of effort that MLK and those activists did back then to be seen and treated as equals in non-segregated society. Many modern minorities, particularly those born in America, want to be seen as equal but treated special because of their ethnicity/background (same applies to many who claim they want to be 'normal like everybody else' until that very equality is inconvenient to them personally, then they have a system/injustice to fight).
It's amusing in the same way that most LGBT+ who support Palestine are blissfully unaware HAMAS (and the PLO before them) have declined multiple peace offers while using their civilian population as meat-shields while attacking. Or how they received refuge in Jordan and then tried to overthrow the Jordanian monarch who offered them that sanctuary. Or that the people they're protesting for do not believe the LGBT have a right to exist...but again, a failure of education in order to mold the masses how it suits them. Stupidity is inevitably a self-correcting problem. @@infin8ee

Coming from Europe, It really scares me that school’s in the US doesn’t teach you this. Upsetting and scary.

I was born in 93 and was taught all about this. But at some point since it changed and has become more prevalent to not be in the curriculum.

I'm an American teaching in Europe and European students aren't taught this either, at least in Spain and Germany. Maybe your generation was, but kids today are only taught propaganda about how conservatives are bad and that they should eat less meat and more vegetables.

The slavery started in mesopotamia, and the muslims + the north africans practiced it first.

When Britain ended slavery with their abolition act they used 40% of the national treasury to do it. They borrowed so much money to end slavery that it was actually only fully paid back in 2014. This amazes me because what it means is that everyone born in the UK and working in the UK for the past nearly 200 years has helped to contribute to the end of slavery by paying back that money through their taxes
What you wrote there is absolutely huge. At the time the UK Government took the risk of bankrupting their country/empire to pay reparations to certain groups/countries. As you said, we only stopped paying for that 10 years ago. Huge!
@@mostlyinterested1016 I agree and it’s something that seems to always be ignored or just not taught to people.

@@annettewilcox5413 no the British have been paying back the money they borrowed from their own treasury that was used to end slavery. The British owe the descendants of slaves absolutely nothing because while slavery has existed *far* longer than the British empire ever has it was them that ended slavery in the west which then had a ripple effect all over Europe and into America. If it wasn’t for the British there would be *no* “descendants of slaves” only “slaves”
It’s so strange how people like you really do try your best to ignore fact and history so that you can continue to hold some sort of vendetta against something that no longer exists or is even relevant to most people in the world today. I would suggest that instead of trying to rewrite history and moan about how hard it is that over 200 years ago there were slaves in Britain and the west you actually channel that energy into trying to help the current slaves in Africa and the Middle East - the ones who are actually in need of help and the *only* ones with any single right to complain about how slavery has destroyed their lives.

There are ACTUAL slaves today and they use their voices to whine and exempt themselves from taking any form of accountability for their situation. Absolutely horrific
This breaks my heart😢
That is awful 😢
Thomas Sowell said something that really opened my eyes about the history of slavery. "People weren't enslaved because of their skin color, but because they were vulnerable." It was the poor and voiceless who couldn't defend themselves or protect their children who became slaves, not because their skin was a certain color but because they were 'easy pickin's.'
That’s disingenuous. That statement may be true for the world, however in the 13 colonies then the USA, race was the primary reason that determined a slave for LIFE! Anti-Black Freedom remained an American law for 100 years after Slavery ended in the States.

When you think about it. Without the British empire the ban on slavery wouldn’t have been successful. The Brits forced other countries to stop because they essentially owned the seas and would stop slave ships, the brits stopped a lot of things people used to consider normal via the empire.
They did bad things too, horrendous things, like ethnic cleansing. However a lot of what we take for granted today was actually from the British empire. Unlike America too, she slavery wa banned the average British person was happy about it. They didn’t have a civil war over it. Infact hundreds of thousands of Brits signed partitions demanding it to be banned in the empire.
The internet doesn’t like this version of history though, especially Americans who are spoon fed “England bad” all their lives. It’s never that simple.
The fact that this is even a conversation just goes to show how utterly brainwashed the Black youth of America has become.
Ya, it’s crazy to me to hear their surprise in this video. I learned this in middle school and freshman year in HS. Pretty sure that none of this is taught anymore, to anyone. It’s all CRT bullsh*t now.
White youth has been brainwashed just as much.
There is no saving black people because they reject education like the plague. books are like kryptonites to them. people thrive because of knowledge and education. as long as there's hiphop and thug culture, they will always be at the bottom.
most of the city whites too.
You clowns can put out this lying fabricated nonsense, but ban the truth being told to the young kids in school and calling it critical race theory.
You guys are doing a massive service to the American citizenry in youth discussing these broad topics thank you❤
Yes you are thx you!! Sharing valuable information on important subjects, breaking down the wrong facts and speaking up about it. You young guys are cool and inspiring. Thx you!!
Agreed
This is politics that unites people instead of dividing Americans
Since they asked for more info :
If you look up modern slavery in africa , there is an [estimate of at least] 3.8 million slaves. (Thats just in Africa)
You also have to consider human/$£× trafficking around the world . (Also Its not just about labor or $£×-but also about organs , torture , and murder)
If you seen the movie series "Hostel"/ know about the profit to be made cause the cost and demand of organs/know about rituals-its a little more clear .
Most people don't claim that white people created racism though. It's a pointless talking point created by conservatives to get away with being racist while they profiteer off of the racism they created.
The fact that you gentlemen are open to hearing things that go against much of what you thought you knew is something to admire. I mean it. You guys are open-minded and gutsy to even question the given narrative. Enjoy your podcasts.

Well under Muslim african trade, black males were mostly castrated not to spread their genes in the middle East. See Tidiane N'Diaye. The Veiled Genocide.
@@ch33zusofpokemon25 No it isn't.
Absolutely correct
Candace says one thing that we should all embrace. No one is guiltless.
And no one is guilty either -- of the sins of their ancestors or of their racial group or of their whole society or country -- that's called "collective guilt" and we all THOUGHT we had put paid to that concept after World War II with the Nuremberg Trials. You are ONLY guilty of bad things that YOU do -- that's it. I'm not to blame if my father stole cars, or my great-great-great-great-grandfather owned slaves. Most of my ancestors were northerners, many here since the 1600's, and some of them among the Puritans of Massachusetts and Quakers of Pennsylvania were in the forefront of the abolitionist movement in the 19th century. Some of them may have been among the Irish immigrants that protested the draft during the American Civil War, when a draft riot turned into a race riot, with the new immigrants saying they didn't come to America to immediately go to war to help free black slaves -- I don't know, but I do feel a certain amount of shame and regret for my Irish blood that this happened -- but NOT guilt. One of my ancestors, Silus Pepoon -- was in the Union Army fighting against slavery -- then after the Civil War, in 1865, he became and Indian fighter -- that's right -- he was sent West, to fight and relocate and tame and sometimes kill the American Indians that inhabited the Plains. And guess what -- he ended up falling in love with an American Indian woman, Sasheeta. They married and had children, of whom I am a direct descendant -- that's where I get my drop of Miq'Mac Algonquin American Indian blood -- I'm pretty sure it's a lot more than "Pocahontas" -- i.e., Elizabeth Warren -- has -- and I still wouldn't DARE to put that I was American Indian down on a university admissions application!!
And BTW -- that was just a for instance, a hypothetical -- to my knowledge, my father never stole any cars!! And I have no slaveowners among my ancestors that I know of either.
That's why Jesus shed his precious blood for us.

@@Kairon111161yeah people think too simplistically with ancestry. 10 generations back everyone has ancestors from all walks of life because the number of ancestors doubles every previous generation.

Has it always been this fucked up cat and mouse game of good and evil ?
@@tylerriojas6250 Yeah, it pretty much was. I'm 70, so I got a good view of the 60's. One thing I find particularly interesting is that the political landscape has flip-flopped in the past 60 years when it comes to racial relations. In the 60's some of the biggest obstacles to integration were southern democrats, not republicans.
@@ejd53 I'd argue the democrats are still one of the biggest obstacles to integration. Which party is telling people they are a victim because of their skin color all the time? Unfortunately it's the democrats.
The Darkness has been around for a very long time, but there is a change coming. It is happening right now, although slowly at present, but will continue to pick up pace. Just hold steady in the midst of the turmoil that is natural to the healing process, and we will see the Darkness increasingly exsposed. Good days are ahead. Stay in Love and forgiveness.

Recently, on a guided tour in Jamaica, the 40-year old guide who was born in and lived in Jamaica all his life, commented in conversation that slavery started and continues with black people selling their own people. He said it like it was fact. He didnt doubt it. And interestingly, he said he would never say that while visiting the US because it would be viewed as a lie and would cause problems. Even though it's the truth.
My 50 year old Jamaican friend says the same thing. He lives in the USA. I knew this but it shocks many Americans 😢. Like him, lm about truth. He, like I like this country!! Warts and all. Tell the story. But tell the entire story
Lies, slavery never started with or by Black people. It started with Europeans and that's a fact.
A lot of us know that information here in America.
How are “black ppl there own people.”?
Do you think black ppl are all related ?!
Kiss teeeeeet. Jamaican here. Conflating tribal slavery within the context of American imperialist chattel slavery isn’t a serious argument. No where in the same realm.
My favorite part of this video is, is that they questioned what was being said, then started looking it up. Truth is a bitter medicine and its not easy to upend biases and hear something you never thought could be true.

I was about to say much the same
we were taught this back in the 70's and 80's, the fact that this was changed is new to me and scary, plus it explains a lot.
Thousand of child slaves work in the mines in Africa to get the cobalt needed to produce electric cars, as well as other stuff like gold and diamonds.
I remember when the events that the film, Blood Diamond, was based on, were happening in Africa. The strong have always subjugated the weak. Whether it's a bully on the playground, a powerful tribe in Africa or pre-colonial America, or a nation like Germany or Japan during WW2. It's a sad reality, that unfortunately seems to be a part of human nature.
So? The issues with American slavery today aren't that it was slavery, it's that it was racist and the racism didn't just vanish when slavery was abolished.
@@Helldog6 any psychologist will tell you that first came slavery, black people weren’t considered less than because of their skin colour, but because of their status, the the American people decided this is wrong and fought a war over it, well it was a lot more complicated than that, so the war is won by the north and slaves are emancipated then racism starts, these men and women can no longer be looked down upon because of their status. So what is it that makes them different ahhhh it is the colour of their skin and their previous status, let’s us look down upon them and in doing so lift ourselves above them it no longer matters if I am a poor white ignorant man I have found someone I can say I am better than. This is true tribalism and we see it every day in peoples interactions on the internet. What is virtue signalling if not a group indicating they are better than another because of a set of views and opinions that they hold. Woahhh that was a bit of a rambling rant apologies.
@@Helldog6 racism was born from slavery. American Society today has never been better for black people to get ahead. Any cries of racism today is just pure victimhood which is being encouraged and propagated by the left. It gets them votes to keep telling blacks they are victims of white supremacy (False). Where are these white supremacists? All laws are now in place so that everyone can do anything they want to. There is no oppression.
@@Sofasurfa I don't care what Psychologists say, they don't determine historical reality. The *facts* state that white people thought of black people as lower than them - *regardless* of their status as slaves. There are literally countless primary historical sources that prove this to be true.. In fact, confederacy leadership prior to the war had stated in public that black people were better off as slaves. So this idea that 'racism only started *after* slavery ended' because they needed to find *something* to look down at them for is preposterous.
You can even look at the differences between the way Black slaves were treated and compare them to the way white slaves were treated (even they even had white slaves at all).
I served 4 years in the military and I experienced racism from all races. There is good and bad in all races. Keep up the learning we all benefit when we all learn from the past.
You only can experience racism from white people if you're in America.
Likely what you experienced is friendly banter between men forming a brotherhood but you’re told you should be a victim so instead of embracing how you’re hardwired, you’d rather be told how to feel. Emotionless, opinionless, … what has the world become.
We are all more or less racist. In that we are more sceptical of those who don't look like us. But it looks like there is more racism today than for a long time. And black people seem the worst at present. I am white myself.

During the 15th to 19th centuries, European powers like Portugal, Britain, the Netherlands, and others were involved in the exploration and
exploitation of West Africa's coastal regions. They often engaged in raids on coastal towns to capture slaves for the transatlantic slave trade,
which was a brutal and tragic period in history.
She should tell the whole truth, when British and other colonizers went to west Africa especially Ghana(previously called Gold Coast known for its
wealth in Gold), they raided the small coastal towns when they first arrived and sent the slaves to America and Britain, some tribes fought back and
they started to loose soldiers.
So to acquire slaves, some European colonizers schemed, manipulated and fueled conflicts between different African tribes and kingdoms, which
contributed to instability, wars and violence in the region, They forced tribes to war each other and at times then backing one tribe over the
other. When the wars was over, they then took the prisoners of war and sent them on slave ships.
This approach was part of their divide-and-conquer tactic, which aimed to exploit existing rivalries and instigate new ones among the local
populations.
European powers did engage in military conflicts against African kingdoms and tribes during the period of colonization. When local African kingdoms
or tribes resisted or opposed European colonization or the slave trade, the European powers would often resort to force and military actions to
assert their control. The European colonizers would establish forts and trading posts along the coast and sometimes inland, using them as bases for
their operations.
Many families were torn apart, with husbands separated from wives, parents from children, and siblings from each other and sent on slave ships. The
emotional and psychological toll of losing family members to the slave trade was profound and devastating. For enslaved individuals, the experience
of being forcibly taken from their families and communities was traumatic and contributed to the enduring legacy of pain and loss for generations.
European traders had advanced military technology and firepower compared to many African communities. This power imbalance made it difficult for
some African tribes to resist or oppose the demands of European slave traders, therefore in a few cases, African middlemen and coastal tribes
collaborated with European slave traders by capturing and selling fellow Africans to the European ships, also very few African middlemen and coastal
tribes may not have fully understood the extent of the inhumane treatment and suffering that awaited the enslaved Africans once they reached the
Americas and the Caribbean. It's essential to understand the historical context and the power dynamics at play during that period. The transatlantic
slave trade was an exploitative system that systematically dehumanized and oppressed Africans, regardless of the involvement of a few African
middlemen and coastal tribes, and not all members of these tribes participated in the trade. Europeans were already enslaving africans even before
the involvment of theses tribes and middlemen. There were over a 100 ethnic groups in Ghana alone and less that 13 of them might have participated
in the trade.
Various Akan states, such as the Fante and Denkyira, resisted European incursions and slave raids along the Gold Coast.
In the northern regions of Ghana, the Gonja and Dagomba kingdoms were known for their resistance against the transatlantic slave trade and European
domination.
The Ga-Dangme people, primarily located in the Accra region, also resisted European advances and participated in armed confrontations against
European forces.
The Ewe and Anlo tribes, located in the eastern parts of present-day Ghana, resisted the slave trade and colonization by European powers
The Ashanti Kingdom was known for its military prowess and successfully defended its territory against British forces in multiple wars during the
19th century.
There were more than 4 countries in Ghana alone doing this(British, Portuguese, Swedish, Denmark, French and Germany). Competing for more slaves and
gold.
There are 54 countries in Africa,and they all have a story to tell. Different wars were fought over centuries for freedom from European conquerers.
Some tribes mostly exchanged gold for mirrors, gin and gunpowder not slaves.
Enslaved Africans who managed to escape from plantations and European control formed maroon communities in remote and inaccessible areas. These
communities served as safe havens and centers of resistance against the slave trade and slavery.
Slavery was abolished because several tribes and kingdoms in Ghana and neighboring areas fought back against the slave trade, as well as against
European colonial encroachments
European slave traders and colonial powers often retaliated against African tribes and communities that resisted their involvement in the slave
trade. When African communities refused to collaborate or resisted attempts to capture and sell fellow Africans, European traders resorted to
various punitive measures to assert their control.
The abolitionist movements exerted political pressure on European governments during the late 18th and early 19th centuries to reconsider the
institution of slavery. The abolitionist movement gained momentum in Europe and North America, some Africans and European-descended individuals in
the colonies also participated in advocacy efforts.The international community, including other European nations and non-European powers, began to
question and condemn the slave trade, leading to treaties and agreements that contributed to its eventual abolition.
Industrialization and technological advancements reduced the need for large-scale slave labor in certain regions. Moral and humanitarian arguments
against slavery gained traction during the Enlightenment period. Abolitionists highlighted the inherent cruelty and injustice of slavery, leading to
a broader societal awareness of the need to end the practice.
If you you choose to leave out all these important details, lie by ommission, gaslight and decide to attack the majority of the African people who
have gone through generations of trauma, and just want to be left alone. It just speaks to me in great volumes the type of person you are.
The scary thing is they have started removing, changing and falsifying the chain of events that led to the complex structure of the slave trade,

today, it mostly says it was changed 6 days ago or a month ago. Shocking!.

The light bulb went on in his head and he finally SEES it!!
Muhammed Ali said something similarly -- crude & insightful. copied from Wikiquote:
In the early 1970s Muhammad Ali fought for the heavyweight title against George Foreman. The fight was held in the African nation of Zaire; it was insensitively called the "rumble in the jungle." Ali won the fight, and upon returning to the United States, he was asked by a reporter, "Champ, what did you think of Africa?" Ali replied, "Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat!" There is a characteristic mischievous pungency to Ali's remark, yet it also expresses a widely held sentiment. Ali recognizes that for all the horror of slavery, it was the transmission belt that brought Africans into the orbit of Western freedom. The slaves were not better off-the boat Ali refers to brought the slaves through a horrific Middle Passage to a life of painful servitude-yet their descendants today, even if they won't admit it, are better off. Ali was honest enough to admit it.
Not initially, but eventually. I know we have a lot of problems in the US and I am working on solving them, but all said and done...we have historically ended up being a nation of more light than darkness, morally speaking.

Yeah, except this video (and Candace Owens) is disingenuous and putting slavery at the fault of Black people who experienced it is completely wrong. Everything in this video is a lie and made to make White people involved in the slave trade as sympathetic and Black people to be blamed for their own demise.

FUN FACT about the brits. They didn't end their practice of slavery as much as they rebranded it and started doing it to Indians and a number of other Asian peoples by tricking them into thinking they were being hired on for jobs. instead of that they would put them on ships and send them off to their colony's. they called them the coolies. Something that is as bad to call someone as the N word I should add. There is a reason why you can find Indian people on ever one of they're major colonies. Also, do note that ALLLLL of the stuff they did to black folks they did to them as far as treatment and dehumanization. You can still find those people today. Like the people who lived through that are still alive. Old but alive. It didn't end for a long time. Worse the brits never acknowledged what they did. I'm so sick of people saying that white people ended slavery NO THEY DIDN'T! heck look at the states and share cropping AKA debt slavery. Not to mention the fact that it is still LEGAL to enslave criminals in America. A thing that they happily still do. ALOT of plantations straight up became prisons just for that reason.

If everyone reached this mindset tomorrow, life would be golden.
From a white grandpa! They are not studying history. The rest of what you said is fine.
Sound of Freedom shined a light on how slavery is at an all time high. The thing that connects these two eras of slavery is that it was never about race or nationality but about vulnerability. There will always be people that take advantage of the weak. That mindset is what connects them. Not race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.
well put Sir, well put.
Sadly, in the first world competition to be "victims" the reality has already been lost. Some sad attempts to create an external foe to foster unity of purpose notwithstanding, the west will remain divided against itself. I 'm not even sure myself if that's a bad thing or not. If history teaches one thing it's that no matter how awful the circumstances, how oppressive the government of the day, the world keeps turning and empires pass away. The only thing that should worry us is: What comes next?
And no one is weaker than children.

As someone that taught school in Appalachia...the same kind of reactions would occur by my hillbilly students any time I mentioned that everyone was equal. They have a lot of the same misconceptions about people of race (I often had to remind myself that their ignorance was simply due to parenting and the fact they never travelled outside of their area of the nation much less internationally). Great vid and thanks a lot for sharing!!! :)
This is what we have been saying for a long time. I'm glad that someone got to the bottom of this. Racism has to stop. Love everyone!
Most educated Black people know white people did not go into the jungle . It was only after the continent was weakened, that whites went in land. Neve the less, the American Slave system was one of the worst war crimes in history. Moreover, this country that I love, still needs to pay reparations for it's part in theses crimes.

@@ryukenhondaraiden Correct, and Australia also had slavery. Australia isn't innocent either.
yes thats true but slavery was all over the world black or white
@@bordy3365Exactly, Poland never had slaves from other countries (because we are slaves are were enslaved by Ottomans) but slavery existed there as well. The lowest class: peasants were treated just like slaves, the same happened in other countries that did not have 'traditional' slaves but had the lowest class that served the same function as them.
Convict labour. Second fleet. Neptune? They used slaver ships to transport them. Brutal.
My sister-in-law was born in Iran. Her Father was a Colonel and personal Physician to the Shah of Iran. Her family had slaves. Blew my mind when she told me that. The number is higher than anyone will possibly know. 😢
Islam has always accepted slavery. Still do. They can't change their laws, so it's still permitted.
Do you mean her father was "Abdol Karim Ayadi"? He was the Shah's personal physician and was a well known man...
And no, at that time, there were no slaves in Iran. slavery was abolished in 1929 in Iran; And even before that time (around 1870) the act of slavery was very uncommon and was only done by monarchs and the slaves were work in palaces as "Eunuch".

My black American brothers, you were mostly born in one of the greatest countries in the world instead of a miserable place in this world like I was. Take this gift with both hands, and reach for the stars! My family came with nothing and we have truly achieved the American dream when I didn't even know the language when I got here! You are smart, entrepreneurial, and if you are not afraid of hard work and saving money and investing it, you can make it huge for not just you but your families as well! And when you make it, please inspire other black people to do the same instead of those multi-millionaire rappers and NBA stars who tell their brothers and sisters that they can't make it even though THEY DID!
Amen. The American dream is not so short sighted to be about you. It is about your effort being able to improve your next generations. Yes, some may have had a head start. That will always exist in all things in life. The promise America makes to all is that here, you can put in effort, and you will struggle. But if you give your children good values and a work ethic, they too can push to improve their next generation. Thats the part the modern liberals have stopped understanding. Why? Because a large portion of them don't want a next generation. They want to abort their kids and party until they grow old.

@@1therabbithole Reparations are a black hole. You can never give enough. There's no point at which people are going to decide that enough was given and that it's repaid. Instead, black people need to move past that. It's not a good mindset to feel like you're a victim who is owed something. If you think that way, you'll never take responsibility for your own life, but if you do take responsibility for it, then you can start improving it. Whatever you could have gotten from reparations pales in comparison to what you can do if you let that go and move forward.
I first heard these facts more than fifty years ago. Thanks to Candace Owens and you gentlemen for shining light on the truth.
5 years ago I met a slave woman who was working for an extremely wealthy family from the United Arab Emirates. I was working as a maid in a 5 star hotel in the Netherlands and this family was staying in one of the luxury apartments on the top floor of the hotel. This lady was not allowed to look at or speak to the family members, only to people working for the family, for example the cook who I talked to occasionally. She told me that her ID and passport was taken away and she is not getting paid. She is bound to that family for life
Yep, did a quick work contract in the UAE. Lots of "bonded" people from Bangladesh, Indonesia and the Philippines who have their passports "legally" held by their employers. It's crazy and horrible. The reason I didn't go permanent once the contract was up was I had to leave. Even the flight attendants for the airline from Eastern Europe were increasingly under restriction. They couldn't leave the UAE on time off unless approved.
Yup. I read an article about a Filipino that grew up in California during the 70s and 80s. His family had a "maid" (also Filipino), that he later realized was a slave.
Apparently her husband was killed, and her family couldn't support her, so she offered herself to a family that could feed her.
They brought her with them when the emigrated to the US.
She had no rights, and although the children loved her like an aunt, the rest of the family treated her terribly.
@@goodshipkaraboudjan Saudis treat their workers so badly that the Filipino govt put a stop to sending filipinos to Saudi Arabia for work.
She could have run away, flee into an embassy, ask for political asylum.
Tell her story, etc.
Or am i wrong?
Yeah keep your lies to yourself. I lived there for 20 years these people get paid they are not slaves. They get paid a little amount there is no denying that but they are not held against their will anymore than you as an employee are held to specific policies within your work place. Enough hating on the Arabs just because they are Arab
Moses said "let my people go". That should give you an idea of how long slavery has existed!
I as someone who was forced to read ( Typical whiny kid ) the whole Bible I didn't for a second think it would be far more useful growing up.
Moses, was PRINCE OF EYGPT, when he said this.... 😮 let's you know that the TYPE OF SLAVERY, BASED ON LIES ABOUT SKIN COLOR WAS INDEED THE ONLY THING ON EARTH INVENTED BY WHITE PEOPLE. READ 4REAL. READ OLD BOOKS.
The Bible is not a credible source, there where never Jewish slaves in Egypt and there is no historical evidence for that outside of the Bible
I love how Prager and Candace didn't mention WHO were slaves in Egypt. The Abrahamic line has had it bad for a long time.
Hey guys. I love y' all & your reactions so much. I was a kid coming up in the 70s and 80s and remember that the good way of thinking of things and people was always to ignore pretty much your skin color and to see the similarities and that we're all human. I've always been that way. But nowadays - - apparently thinking that people are the same down deep inside is discriminatory and r@cist. I'm not kidding. I was just starting a new job and taking all the orientation classes. I saw in black and white that it is wrong to think of people that way and that it's culturally insensitive to look beyond culture and r@ce and think of us as all the same. The US and the West have lost their minds! Divide and conquer! That's their plan
Really respect that you all took the time to hear this.
thanks for sharing this and being open to learning and not rejecting an different reality
I am 72 years old, and I knew from an early age that slavery was something found throughout the world, going back into ancient times. It was not "invented" in 1619. I heard slavery talked about in the Bible, for instance, and movies in the 1950's depicted slavery in ancient Egypt ("Land of the Pharaohs," 1955) and ancient Rome ("Ben-Hur," 1959), among others. Movies back then also showed how Black Americans were often disenfranchised in the current society ("A Raisin in the Sun," 1961) and how far apart Black and white Americans were in understanding one another ("The Defiant Ones," 1958). These were serious subjects that were addressed in a introspective manner in the general media, with an aim toward advancing civil rights for Blacks and correcting biases, attitudes, and illegalities. As Americans, we do not inhabit a "perfect" union, but one where we strive for "a more perfect union."
living for 'ideals' brings out the good in men, while living for 'profits' brings out the evil.
Thank you for your educated and honest response. If everyone, worldwide, had even half of your attitude and sense of personal responsibility, the entire world would be a far better world.
BLACK SLAVES WERE A PROBLEM FOR EARLY SETTLERS. SLAVES REVOLTED MANY TIMES, THEIR WERE SLAVES WHO WENT TO MEXICO, THERE WERE SLAVES WHO JOINED NATIVES. WHITE DIDNT JUST DECIDE TO FREE SLAVES. SLAVES CORRESPONDED WITH MANY ETHNIC WHITE WHO DESPISED SLAVERY BECAUSE OF CHRISTAINITY. BLACKS HELPED INSTIGATE CIVIL WAR WITH LIKE MINDED WHITES TO CAUSE CIVIL WAR. THERE WAS ALOT OF DRAMA GOING ON DURING SLAVERY TIMES. PEOPLE NEED TO DO THEIR RESEARCH. YES AFRICANS DID SELL OTHER TRIBES BENIN, AFRICA YES.
She should tell the whole truth, when British and other colonizers went to west Africa especially Ghana, they raided the small coastal towns when they first arrived and sent the slaves to America and Britain, some tribes fought back. then they started to loose soldiers so they started forming alliances scheming and manipulating and forcing the tribes to war each other and back one tribe over the other. They also fought against towns that didn't want to do their will. when the war was over, they will take the prisoners of war and sent them on slave ships. Note that there were more than four countries in Ghana doing this(British, Portuguese, Swedish, Denmark and Germany). it was a competition for them on who got more slaves. The people mostly exchanged gold for mirrors, gin and gunpowder not slaves. They only abolish slavery because the colonies fought back, they stole almost all of the natural resources and also because of a few good white men who fought and died and believed in equality.
Us oldtsters seem to have gotten alot more background knowledge of the world growing up. These poor kids today have so much knowledge accessible to them but don’t place any importance on learning about human history. It helps you understand yourself and who you are in the grand scheme of things. It is so helpful to understand how YOU are connected to your past (ancestors, cultures).

Thank you Candace for making that film and telling the truth.
Candace said slavery ended. I beg your pardon, what about the 13th amendment of the U.S. constitution? Also, who invented the Jim Crow laws and Neoslavery?
This is primary school level education in Britain, I learnt about romans and Egyptians having slaves in year 6 (7th grade)
Chattel slavery still exists in countries in Africa. Most of the time it's little children mining the raw materials that make up smart phones. Not to mention the children kidnapped and drugged to become child soldiers.
Slavery has been a norm in every aspect of human history. The idea that every human is born equal is an abnormality in our history.
Child soldiers are common in the ME too..all those ppl complaining about how children were killed in Palestine or by troops etc..child soldiers! Westerners are rather dumb to not understand this.

Exactly. The deaths of 2 million people during the transatlantic slave trade is COMPLETELY negated by the fact that eventually someone stopped it. No doubt if Hitler had won the war, he'd have run out of Jews by around 1960, and we'd have to forgive him. Or maybe he'd have stopped of his own accord before that, in which case he would have been a hero.
Wait til they realize we are all still slaves.
"Seeing black people agree with my politics is a beautiful thing."

3:42 All true, and as an African I’m always surprised African Americans don’t know this. But France didn’t exactly end slavery in its colonies, colonization was a form of slavery. Britain and other colonizers completely left their colonies after independence started, France never did, that’s why nearly all African countries colonized by France use a currency printed and valued by France, that’s why all those “ex-colonies” still have agreements dating to colonization period about resources exploitations and hence cannot benefit from it. That’s why most of those countries sea ports are mostly owned and controlled by French multinationals.
Am surprised everytime i read African comments they never acknowledge what the British has done
@ we do acknowledge it, it’s just that you don’t know what French colonialism is like. It’s much worse and it never ended. Check the developments in African countries you will see the drastic difference between past colonies.

The guy in the back is spot on. You MUST get to know someone as an individual before you can know what’s in their heart! ❤
If you want hardcore proof of just how ancient slavery is in human history, one need look no farther than The Code of Hammurabi. The longest, oldest, and best-preserved legal text we have was put down around 1750 BC (nearly 4000 years ago) and specifically addresses slavery in numerous places. IIRC, it even goes so far as to prescribe that someone who steals or unalives someone else's slaves becomes a slave themselves.
Alex Haley openly admitted that "Roots" was almost entirely a work of fiction - that his intent was to "create a black mythos". "The Warrior Queen" is even more of an abomination, glorifying the Dahomey Tribe who was among the worst offenders when it came to the slave trade; they actually went to war with Britain and Portugal in order to *PRESERVE* their slavery empire because their entire economy was built upon raiding their neighbors, enslaving them, and selling them to others.
I'm British and we don't live in a 'fish bowl' like many Americans, and I say that with respect but the rest of the world appears to be more aware of true history be it American or global. Candace is correct. The people in power want to keep the US separated and not united for their own selfish gains. You must learn to think critically and check out everything that you are being told, something that is no longer taught or encouraged in schools is freedom of speach and common sense has gone out of the window.
The next report should be on the "Royals".
the reason for that? lots of bitter black teachers and a cowardly school board that is scareed of riots or whatever the blacks might do if you take tyheir one thing away. their victim hood. they just want to finish their sentence and retire without issues. 50 years later, of people dodging the truth you get what we have now.
You are correct. As an American I can say with absolute confidence that most Americans are woefully ignorant of world history. We are also woefully ignorant of global current events. If I really want to know what's going on in the world I go to the BBC website. I won't get it from modern American media.
She also didn't mention who owned the majority of slave ships 😅 here is a clue 🤏🏻🎩
Your fantasy is that the US is united. Black people make up 38% of incarcerated, 50% homeless, 2x unemployed, since stats began being reported in 1954 and have 1/10 wealth of whites even thought we have been on this land for 400 years. Black people know our history in this country.
Candace IS a person in power and she wants black people to forget their history in the US cause it benefits her bottom line.
The truth about slavery! I'm so glad people are finally learning what slavery really was. Slavery is not based on appearances, it is based on vulnerability.
This is mostly toa entirely banned, but there were people called serfs. Serfs were basically slaves, and mostly white. Basically, anyone could be slaves if they were too poor.
It's funny how a search for truth is considered Consevative. Keep digging and forget the haters guys. They want eveyone in the darkness with them.
And don’t forget that the Left views searching for truth is racist.
The search for truth is Conservative according to who? The amount of falsehoods spewed by the Conservative party - not just the people who follow them but the people IN the actual republican party - is literally countless.
You don't "search for truth" unless that "truth" fits whatever narrative you want it to. That's why half of ya'll denied COVID while millions of people died. That's why 99% of flat earthers are alt-right wingers and conservative. Anti-Evolution, Anti-climate change, Anti-sex education, Anti-transgender, Anti-LGBTQ+, Anti- stricter Gun laws, Anti-abortion, etc. etc.
But yeah, you "search for truth" alright.

During the 15th to 19th centuries, European traders and colonizers like Portugal, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and others were involved in the exploration and exploitation of West Africa's coastal regions. They often engaged in raids on coastal towns to capture slaves for the transatlantic slave trade, which was a brutal and tragic period in history.
Raiding and Abduction:
European traders often participated directly in slave raids. Coastal areas were particularly vulnerable to such raids, as European ships could easily anchor near the coast.
Coastal villages were sometimes attacked, and inhabitants including family members and siblings were captured, seperated and transported to the slave ships waiting offshore.
African slaves were transported to various regions of the Americas, including the Caribbean, North America, Central America, and South America.
Intertribal Conflicts and Wars:
European traders took advantage of existing intertribal conflicts and wars to acquire slaves. They often provided weapons, goods, or other incentives to one African group, encouraging them to engage in conflicts with neighboring tribes. The victors would capture individuals from the defeated group and sell them as slaves.
They also sometimes provided support to African groups/traffickers or middlemen to conduct raids since the operation sometimes led to massive loss of their men.
African Middlemen:
European slave traders established contact with African middlemen, who were often local leaders,local war captains, militias, human traffickers merchants, or intermediaries from coastal regions. These intermediaries were well-acquainted with the interior of Africa and had pre-existing networks for acquiring slaves.
Some African societies engaged in slave raids and wars, capturing individuals from rival tribes. The captives were then sold to European traders or local African middlemen.
Coercion and Violence:
In some cases, Europeans resorted to coercion and violence to obtain slaves. This could involve direct confrontation with local communities or the use of force against individuals who resisted capture.
Bartering and Exchange:
European traders exchanged goods such as textiles, metalware, firearms, and alcohol for enslaved individuals. These goods were highly sought after by African societies and played a significant role in incentivizing the capture and sale of slaves.
Arab, Indian, Persian raids:
In addition to the trans-Saharan and transatlantic slave trades, there was an Indian Ocean slave trade involving Arab, Persian, and Indian traders. Slaves were captured in East Africa and transported to various destinations in the Indian Ocean region, including the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent.
Colonization or Colonies:
Britain, France and other European powers and had established colonies along the West African coast, including present-day Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. These colonies became central hubs for British involvement in the intra-African slave trade. Slaves were transported to meet the labor demands of European colonies, economic profit or as punishment or crime ,rebellion, resistance or under indentured servitude contracts, where they agreed to work for a specified period in exchange for passage, land, or other considerations.
Despite the legal abolition, enforcing the end of the transatlantic slave trade proved challenging. Some European powers and the United States continued to engage in illegal slave trading activities even after passing anti-slave trade legislation.
After the abolition, the British Royal Navy actively patrolled the Atlantic to suppress illegal slave trading. They sought to intercept and apprehend ships involved in smuggling enslaved individuals.
Despite the legal prohibition, enforcing the abolition proved challenging. Some British traders and shipowners continued to engage in illegal slave trading activities, seeking to evade detection by authorities.
Modern day Slavery still exists today in the form of child trafficking, human trafficking and forced labor unfortunately persists predominantly in parts of North America, and South America, Africa, North Africa Europe, Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries and Central Asia.
As you can see both sides are guilty to some degree and both sides also fought for what was right, dont let people lie to you. I get that the overall objective is to help black people move on from the negative effects of slavery and unite with everyone as one, but not through lying by ommission nor whiteashing. The means dont always justify the ends. NB: You can fact check with chatgpt i you want.

You can thank Sir William Wilberforce Member of Parliament for Hull East Yorkshire England for the abolition of slavery.

Standing at 110 feet & completed in the year 1835, the column is a worthy monument to a man that the city of Hull & Britain is very proud of. 🇬🇧
They only abolished slavery at home not in their colonys until much later
Nope you can actually thank sir Thomas Clarkson who got Wilberforce into anti slavery and who got the research and wrote the paper 14 times to get rid of slavery in parliament. Risking his life to do so as slave owners and shipping companies out bounties on his head. You can thank him and his brother for setting up a company that stopped slavery as far as Vietnam and that set up free town in sierre Leon for ex slaves to live . He is from my home town in Cambridgeshire 🇬🇧
@@cashkitty3472 It was Wilberforce that worked for 20 years on the subject in Parliament & got the abolition bill through Parliament & therefore he that stands as the person that abolished slavery. Quote: "Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade-the latter more commonly called the Anti-Slavery Society. He and his associates-Thomas Clarkson, Granville Sharp, Henry Thornton, Charles Grant, Edward James Eliot, Zachary Macaulay, and James Stephen-were first called the Saints and afterward (from 1797) the Clapham Sect, of which Wilberforce was the acknowledged leader."
Seriously look up that guy before praising him and giving him any kind of credit.
@@anneanne9009 Seriously, slavery would not have ended without him. Seriously look at the black rulers in Africa that enslaved their own people, selling them to foreigners. Seriously look at all the other leaders of nations that fought to keep slavery after Wilberforce got slavery abolished through Parliament. Wilberforce wasn't perfect but he did the correct thing & changed the world for the better.
It's really hard to realize that you've been lied to your entire life. Shifts in perspective can be tough, so I admire y'alls journey.
I bet you’re a terrible person
Depends on where you live I think, I learned all this as a kid at school.
@@M________________________ Very true. I learned this information fortunately, but I graduated high school back in '92. It sure seems like the curriculum has really changed since I was there.
@@steph1522Depends on where you live but im 16, live in the US and learned this when i was 12 maybe earlier through i was 16. In 11th grade, i only got a more quantity of info in more detail but i knew everything being said.
Thanks for looking into history and learning about what really happened. A lot of the things that happened in America after slavery was abolished were also very wrong. Different peoples have been treating each other badly for all of history. Things are better and getting better in America and the world. I was born in 1958. I heard the "I have a dream" speech live on the radio in my home in Memphis. Most all people from my generation were glad for the old ways to pass. I , for one, am glad to see young people reaching out for truth and reasoning out the path we should go down. Hate is bad and many times misplaced. Love and understanding is the way of the future and our best hope. Keep up the good work of spreading knowledge and tolerance for everybody. I really enjoy ya'lls videos and glad I found them. Peace.
Everything she said is factual and much (but not all) of it was taught in civics and/or history class in school just 30 or 50 years ago. And this all used to be taught in universities until activists and race hustlers took over administration of universities.
If we came together, can you imagine how great this country would be
Imagine the world.....
Like Candace said, division creates money!!
@@tomrussell9829 true
Intentionally dividing people apart is the biggest scam that has been perpetuated against the public at large. Not only do only an extremely few people profit from it but they also move for grabbing more power away from the People with it. It's never been about race...It's never been about religion...It's always been about money & power with no concern about what atrocities they leave in their wake. They can only get away with it if they can keep us fighting each other...Because they know what will happen to *themselves* when people unite & find out who the *real* enemy actually is.
@@bb1uk108The country should have came together with Trump in 2020,,, But I remember the last time it really felt like there was no tension between us was the night of 9-11-2001... we all wanted to go to war against the terrorists that night... We all whites, blacks Asians an Mexicans diving out the towers that day an that was the last time there was no tension
Candace, thank you for setting the record straight. You are a credit to your family, society, and the country. What a beautiful and spiritual person you are. Blessings!
She's done nothing of the sort - all she's done is skip the bits of history that don't fit with her agenda.
@@StudentDad-mc3puexactly
@@StudentDad-mc3pulmao seems to me that your the one ignoring the bits of history you don't like and inflation the ones that you do. But then again that's what I expect from the radical left. Never let the facts get in the way of the narrative right?
@@StudentDad-mc3puyeah, the comment section on this video is an indictment of Americans’ critical thinking skills.
@@StudentDad-mc3puexactly
I am a 60-year-old white woman born in Los Angeles and I love Black people, but I love all people. Maybe it was evil overlords who didn’t want us to all get along. I binge watch your channel.
"It's good to be American" Love these guys, we should start seeing each other as Americans and not Black or White, we need to do what's best for the country.
Politicians and the news media wouldn't like that. It is more profitable for them if we stay divided.
We need to do what’s for each other!
@@janettamcgee8124 200 iq right here, politicians are the ones profiting from it, that's why they are trying to push these lies.
The guy who said he's African - he's not, he's American! With African ancestry! I think it was the third from left who said it, and appears to be more proud of the African element than his American...until watching this the video 😂 so great to see people's eyes opened with the truth!
I always find it weird that USA doesn't like nationalism. It's inherently a good thing.
As a Brit, I knew all this stuff along with the bad stuff. Your public education system is even worse than ours.
You have no business talking down to anyone . Your history is full of war, murder and domination all over the world
I learned all this in school in America, I don’t know what other states taught, but we absolutely learned about this.
Meanwhile Asians perfecting world history otherwise we get sent to the shadow realm.
oh no we learned this, but being a Hispanic there's a pretty biased culture against American history (parents bring prejudice based on their upbringing and education) for instance my Grandfather *hates* Americans but refuses to acknowledge that due to trade with America, Mexico has become one the top if not the top rising industrial power of the West
And that yes even though we have a crime problem that could maybe be attributed to American interest in drugs, we also have thriving cities and communities that are starting to fight back against the Cartels *with* American help
Yes, America did harm Mexico in the past (and most probably waged an imperialist war on us) but they have been a strong partner and supporter of Mexican democracy and industry for decades now
I'm proud to be an American, I wish he could be too, but it's often hateful or prejudiced family members that turn younger generations against the country and its values
you have to keep in mind the differences in public schooling in the us, so many schools get barely any funding while others get alot more, i live in one of the best educated state one known for good public schooling and i was taught everything in this video in my history classes
Not to mention all the children and adults that are trafficked and are Sex slaves
And hard labor slaves forced to work against their will, children including, throughout the world but especially in parts of Asia.
5:07 true but lacks depth. Africans had empires, still have tribes, and boarders. So obviously they weren’t always on good terms, there were wars and prisoners were captured, a tribe would sell their prisoners from other tribes or empires. It’s not “we’re all brothers”. The same way Vikings would be bought or sold other Europeans.
