I'm a little mystified as to how such am obviously brilliant and erudite man could hold forth and publish on such a msssively tragic theme as slavery in America without mentioning the British Empire. The British Empire's "production line" method of enforcing a global system of economic hegemony relied on the slave system of the American south to furnish Britain's own abysmal factory system in order to send cheap textiles to India (where the cloth was finished into clothing) in exchange for opium which was forced into China, thus generating astronomical profits. These profits benefited the British people almost nothing but went into the vast coffers of Britain's banking oligarchs, as well as those of useful American banking elites who were subordinate to the British elites, as well as the cynical stakeholders comprising European aristocracy who even today outrank the British by a great deal. The British were emphatic and insistent about keeping the US economy exclusively backward, agrarian and slave-based. Even aster the Revolution, the British continued to enforce their will through infiltration of American politics and through a spectrum of thoroughly unwholesome tactics that led to the war of 1812 and the Civil War. It should be remembered that the British actively supported the South during the Civil War, providing ships, munitions, uniforms and rations. Slavery was the foundation of the British Empire, which was itself the preeminent prototype for today's globalism. There is virtually no distinction whatsoever. Even the same banking families and the same basic tactics carry over into today. Slavery, drugs and economic warfare are the pillars today even as they were the pillars of yesteryear.
There is only one family who holds tht power The rothschilds. They are the monarchy the others are the lords and ladies of the aristocracy. I once saw a photo op between Rothschild and prince charles. R was poking him in the chest and no one said anything. Yet supposedly touching the person of the royal family is a big NO.
@@hellooutthere8956 There are noble and royal families in Europe that far outrank the piddling Rothschilds. Remember, the Rothschilds were appointed to their position by the House of Hesse. They remain servants of the Habsburgs, to give one contemporary example. The House of Torlonia oversees the Bank for International Settlements, which is the central bank of central banks. They also oversee the US the Treasury. In terms of wealth and power, they make the Rothschilds look like mere bank clerks. It has been the practice of the Eurpoean Nobility, and especially the Italian Black Nobility, to allow the court Jews to rise above the lowly orders and to appear to control global finance, in order to distract from their own absolute tyranny. Very few people are even aware of some of these far more dominant noble and royal houses. This is by design.
"enslaved people" is self-serving euphemism, a transparent attempt to "soften" the harsh reality of slavery, and to make the slave owner feel a little better about themselves.
A few years ago I was having lunch in Guangzhou China with a group of Chinese businessmen, they were saying how great American Businesses were. I ask them one question, If you had 1000 worker in your factory and you only had to provide them a cheap place to live and the cheapest of food where do you think your business would be in 10 years. All of them said that their business would be very successful, I told them that the reason that America is such a successful nation in business is because America had Slaves who worked for 400 years as free laborers. I went on to explain to them that, for 400 years the businessmen of America did not have any labor cost. You should have seen the expressions on their faces. I did not have to say anything else because they now knew the real history of American Capitalism.
China had slavery for most of its existence and by some accounts still dOws in places. It’s also a politically minded myth that slavery is the reason the United States is so wealthy today. Slavery was only legal for 89 years, and then only in the poorest areas that stuck to agricultural production while the northern states industrialized and created the modern American economy.
right, the one's who said, "crime doesn't pay" was obviously the criminals not wanting to let others in on the fact that it is so incredibly lucrative, it funds more than you'd imagine....
He only did what white people have ignored for centuries because they are ashamed of slavery today. Well some of them are not all of them because some of these people would put Black people back in chains if they could.
The price it would cost to grant reparation for the entire population of Africa American in the United States now would probably amount own trillion dollars. We a group of people would own 1/2 to 2/3 of the United State.

Indeed. Truth, not this 1669 crap, not this blaming all white folk, not this ignoring that we sold captured pow’s from tribal conflicts, we enslaved, we enslaved white folk as well (buying them (white Christians) from the Muslims.. heck, white folk ended slavery century plus before the African continent (& even though it is ‘officially’ illegal, it is still going on), open chattel slavery auctions in Libya of black Christians by black Muslims, being branded (thanks to a black American President & a white woman sec of state decision to remove Gaddafi from power (not a perfect man, but he was stabilizing, he hated terrorists/ extremists (true meaning) & worked hard to keep them put & keep the borders free of them as well, and he raised the living of his citizens to #1 in Africa & energy was free. After, Islamic State faction took rapid hold; human trafficking, slave trade, kidnapping & extortion of migrants fleeing to Europe from Syria & Egyptian civil wars (also thanks to Obama/ Biden & Hillary) m.facebook.com/cnn/videos/exclusive-undercover-footage-of-a-slave-auction-in-libya/10157573220616509/ Tell about the 400k Union republican white people who died during the Civil War in America to end slavery; how England & America worked to end the Ottoman Empire Barberry Pirate slave trade; tell about the history of slavery of which very few (if any-> though I can’t find Slavic’s enslaving anyone, only being enslaved many times in history to marked for genocide by Hitler) nations/ civilizations/ Tribes were not at one time (or more) both the victim & then the aggressor. Heck, the Vikings all the way up North weren’t spared by the Ottoman Empire (but, they also enslaved & conquered people’s). I’m so over the divisive, false, victimhood, myopic telling of slavery, that is manufacturing hate, anger, & making us judge white people & our own opportunities in this country, inaccurately… Basically, making us slaves to manufactured rage and anger
My 3rd great-grandfather William Dunn was born a slave in 1838, when he became a Freeman after war, him and a brother named Richmond Dunn owned a Gin plantations in Arkansas. They were later forced off the land, ending up in Louisiana. Still doing research on them.

I recently found the sales note of my family who were sold into slavery in the Mississippi delta in the early 1700’s. for around $33,000, which is 2 plus million dollars today. They were on that plantation until the mid 1900’s because they were too poor to move. They tried to do share cropping and we all know how that turned out. My grandfather was born and raised on that plantation and I am 64 years old. So, that is how close slavery is to me. My grandmother was an indigenous Indian woman by name and birth, but black by law, her husband, my grandfather was an Italian by way of Argentina. This is not a story by word of mouth, it is from actual documents. Make it make sense.

Reparations need to include providing therapy to address generational trauma that was never addressed or healed. These folks had PTSD that was never acknowledged or treated and they raised children best they could and coping best they could- and each generation suffered trauma. That contributes to mental and emotional state of ADOS that country should pay to help repair. Also reparations should provide tracing family trees. ADOS we’re separated from roots from Africa, to many points in Americas or Caribbean. Don’t know their roots or family. Need to repair that breach. How can a branch survive when cut from its tree?
Trauma memories are passed through the dna for 30 generations... If America invested in mental health it would improve people's heart soul and mind, but they want us broken and repleted
We're would these ppl that were slaves be if they were not brought to America. Better question is were would their offsprings be today if not brought here. The vast majority where already slaves in Africa before coming here. I agree alot of ppl and their families had to endure atot of trauma and PTSD in the manufacturing of this country including all races.

Thank you for your work in this painful arena. Your thorough exploration of this topic keeps history honest, and I hope people learn from these lessons to protect against devious contemporary treatment of workers, whether picking produce, producing fast-fashion, or delivering Amazon packages.
I found that young lady’s statement that farm produce/tomato pickers who earn £40 a day are not far from slavery concept that happens in 1800s us an insult. I haven’t seen documentaries of those pickers being lashed, tortured and castrated and more other things after they’ve finished their work day! Although it’s wrong and one may consider this as a concept of modern slavery this concept is by any means comparable to what happened to generations of slaves of black people! She should chose her words for comparison more carefully!
There is trafficking of people today (farm workers, sex workers, and other industries) and it is the modern form of slavery. The nice thing about the Left is that they always have a pity party to see who is the most oppressed.
There is always someone immediately trying to use the black slave experience to quickly transition to stop talking about that and equate it with so called Hispanics and Women.

Add to this US Apartheid & you understand why teaching History is such a problem. Especially when so many of US business practices have their origin in these eras (service, warehousing & manufacturing industries; fossil fuel/ extraction industries; transportation; reliance upon un/underpaid labor & resources; plantation sports, towns, politics; criminal justice system to extract labor & public resources under duress; mass disenfranchisement...). The past is prelude to the present. God forbid we teach people how their world actually functions & the myriad forms of resistance to make it better.
My mom grew up on a cotton/tobacco farm. She compared picking cotton to sifting through razor wire with one’s bare hands. Chopping tobacco was an entirely different set of hardships. One of the reasons why my father went into the military was to get away from cotton and tobacco. The Korean War was in full swing at the time. He volunteered anyway…
My mom and grandma also told me those same stories. As well as how they made the tumble down share cropper shack livable. Also how they burned dry cow patties inside the shack to drive off mosquitos, flies and gnats

50% of all slaves sold in Africa indeed were criminals, and adultery was the principal crime. The others were prisoners captured in war or by slavers. Africans did not come to America as victims of the white man. They were captured, imprisoned, and enslaved or killed (the lucky ones were the slaves as the other half of the criminals got the only other sentence for crimes - death). Black animists and Muslims enslaved their own people in Africa and sold them to Muslims north of the Niger River and to other tribes in Africa and to traders from Europe and the Americas. The African slave was a victim of his own race, who enslaved him and then sold him. The international slave trade ended in 1808, but the last slaves came to the United States in 1860 the ship picked up its cargo in Africa, and the captain bought his goods by picking out his purchase from a pen holding 1000 Africans and he bought them from an African chief, long after the slave trade ended officially with Europeans and Americans, and there was a Slave Naval embargo imposed on the Africa coast.
@@cliffpage7677 80% of Europeans that came to Turtle Island were also criminals. Now the problem is this Country stole a Land from people who were already here. Then tells the Earth that it's okay to come here because everyone is treated equal. Right off the bat the biggest lie has begun and hasn't slowed down.
@@cliffpage7677 All that being said the American white man still participated and perpetuated some of the worst slavery known to mankind and profited enormously from it for hundreds of years. So the ones who profited the most owe the most it’s that simple.

We, the new generation of freed slaves, have little info to go on. Our relatives didn't want to talk about it. But as a child I notice how my grandfather would act when Mr. Jackson would come around to bring him something from his overgrown garden. He would put on this facade. He would smile and be very polite. I had never seen him smile so much unless he was talking to one of the babies. Whenever Mr. Jackson came around I ran to the back of the house. I didn't like Papa acting so humble. Papa would start hollering for us to get the vegetables off the back of the truck. But I would stay in the back until I heard his truck leave. My grandmother, on my mother's side, would always tense up when whites came around and tell us to be quiet. You see, her husband had been killed for talking too much about civil rights. They all shot him down like a rabid dog. Then they ran her out of Tutwiler, Miss. The white men stole her quilts and canned goods. But Papa and Mama Mattie stayed in Miss. until they died. They were my dad"s parents.

I believe this is long overdue and vitally needed, however, just providing scholarships will not compensate for the crushing, irreparable damage done to African Americans over generations physically, psychologically, and financially infinitely. I suggest that not merely educating African Americans but provide free land, homes, counseling, and support to build up communities of their own which would help build self assteem, reassemble a great deal of the dignity and sense of family lost. Money is not only the solution but it's an important part as we live in a capitalist society in which most of us are left lacking the capital to survive generationally as a result of the capitalist system in America built and driven and sustained by the slavery of African Americans.

That's great you were able to do that. Sure the way you were raised had more to do with your success than anything else and paying cash is the best way to go. The 1965 Great Society program, the war on poverty and the Civil Rights Act under LBJ was suppose to end racism, discrimination by increasing welfare, subsidized housings, food stamps, start of Medicaid and Head Start, seems to have had the opposite effect. Generations of African Americans have known no other way of life but government aid. Wonder if cash is the answer 🤔

It's been said that enslaved people in the Caribbean and South America may have suffered the harshest pains with shorter lives in that they were worked sun-up to sun-up, using all human strength until an immenant death and regularly replaced with another shipment of bodies as needed. Many did not live beyond mid-twenties in age for men, or thier late-teens for women. The transport of enslaved people ended in those places before the US did. In the US, however, when the US was supposed to end transporting Africans, it did not. Then when they did, in order to keep a steady supply of enslaved they did atrocious things to keep a ongoing population. Longer lives were more valuable than short ones and RE-population was critical. Hence enslaved young women were forced to be impregnated and provide as many as 20 births (+/-) each by other unknown enslaved Africans or their captor. "American" slaves endured and relentlessly birthed a lifetime and legacy of suffering 400 years long. Conclusion: Whether six in one hand or a half dozen in another, both extremes uprooted millions of people scattered over the world for the wealth & pleasure of their captors. The sufferings of chattle slavery were the difference of a guaranteed personal fast death or a panoramic view of a miserable life of slow, deep suffering for you and everyone you knew.
This topic and the publication of scholarly book on the topic is very old. Black scholars as early as 1944 wrote extensively on the topic. In 1944 Eric Williams published Capitalism & Slavery which the host mentions; Manning Marble in the late 1970’s published How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America; and Walter Rodney in 1972 published similar on How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. These have been foundation books in Black Studies for at least fifty years. I appreciate the scholar doing work on the topic.
I would just amend the bit atpund the 45 minute mark where he says how the funds should be disbursed. Good suggestions, but convene a committee of black descendants of those enslaved and let them decide.
Deuteronomy 28:41,68 [41]Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. [68]And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
Please don't be ignorant of the fact that black people were forced into chattel slavery we did not come to America seeking a better life for ourselves and families , please don't compare what we went through with other people our situation is unique no one has redeemed us.
I can recognize my privilege. I can recognize injustice. I don’t take too much injustice personally. But there need to be be reparations. That’s justice. But justice doesn’t need to be personal. There’s enough justice for everyone.

Prof. Baptist from his extensive research offers a comprehensive accounting of capitalism plus evil. This man should have speaking engagements on every univ campus in America on this subject. Surely other white historians know this information but becuz of fragility and other reasons just aren't willing to share.
Not just universities but these subjects should be brought before the general public on a regular basis to break down racism on all levels. Ever notice that the racial violence generally starts among the less educated and because they assume history that is not accurate. Perhaps if the truth was generally known, they would not act in ignorance of the facts.

@@karendalsadik7119 I thought for sure no one was going to deny that woman justice (but there were several of them all really old).

A crime occurred, they are entitled to compensation.
I did not feel that this presentation was helpful to the dialog taking place in the 21st century. He starts by saying that much of America’s prosperity was enabled by slaves. The economic growth of most of the states that stayed in the Union during the Civil War came from entrepreneurs and legal immigrants. In the slave holding states, aside from Delaware, most of the wealthy were slave holders. However, many of them were no longer wealthy after that war. This lecturer does not mention the huge price in lives paid by the Union states to fight against slavery. The number of Union dead may be over 400,000. He appears to call for reparations. That money would have to come from today’s taxpayers, who had no voice in the slavery issue. Their ancestors never benefitted from slavery. Mr. Baptist fails to note that most slave-produced cotton lost much of their market when Jefferson Davis withheld the southern cotton crop from England. Instead of entering the Civil War on the side of the south. Instead, England found that cotton grew well in India. Slavery was evil. No argument there. However, constantly revisiting the issue and argueing that white Americans should feel guilty or be punished for an evil that ended over 80 years before they were born. Also, like many of my ancestors, their ancestors did not live in America at that time.
@@keithranker3908 First off let me say that I have never, not once heard anyone say white people should feel guilty about slavery. That's just made up nonsense people use to argue against any true telling of the history of slavery. Anyone that feels guilt over something they did not due is an idiot. The reasons why we teach the historical role slavery played in this country, is the same reason we teach any history, to educate ourselves so we can continue to evolve as a species. The reason people push back and attack certain studies and teachings is very simple, they feel the idealized image they have been shown since birth and have come to identify with, actually has some defects. Some find that frightening. The history of this country that has been taught and ingrained into the fabric of our society has been one that is thoroughly scubbed of its stains. If you were anything other than a white male you did not exist in school books for most of this country's existance. Little by little people are gaining an understanding of the importance of acceptance. Each generation learns a bit more truth, and that knowledge is what leads to understanding and growth. There will always be some who will refuse to grow. They will claim something is bad because it may turn kids gay, or make them want to pray to Lucifer, or make them feel guilty, it's all just a way of covering your ears and saying nahnahnanahna. It's just a bullshit excuse that anyone with a brain can see right through.
@@keithranker3908 I don't believe most reparation arguments ever mention that anyone living today is responsible for sorrows and injustices of the past. There are very wealthy institutions and corporations whose existence was made possible by slavery ND their are many families who have lived off that generational inheritance. I care more about truth than reparations. I wish there was more talk about the evils of those who thought more about their wealth than they did about helping to cause war that killed young people who thought they were fighting for a noble cause. When in reality the rich of the south hated poor white folks. They only treated them nice when slavery ended and they needed allies. Same thing still happening.
Do it, friend. I first read it in my 70's, and it's had a large impact on how I understand America's sad, ongoing racial conflict. We think of Blacks as historical victims without appreciating their forced contribution to the country's economic dominance, even today.
While I empathize with the issue of slavery in America I find this to be a form of one sided shaming. I must remind you that all races have been victims of slavery at one point or another in History and I am no more responsible for the suffering of your ancestors than you are of mine. Just respect one another from here on in and understand you are not alone in your victimhood.
My great grandparents were slaves. My grand mother's family were part Indian and Negro. My grandfather was dark skunned with straight hair. When he got older his hair turned silver. When he passed his hair was silver and jet black. My birth fathers family was mixed, negro and indian.
Thats somewhat true…i would say the brown people with a red undertone…or copper colored…but at the same time we must understand that its people of color on every land mass on the planet….95% of ancient & indigenous people are so called “colored”…so when we read about european countries in history lets not jump to the conclusion that those people are pale skinned…1 Love

There was nothing free about institutional slavery in America. Many planters wished they could get out from under this system. In 1786 Virginia passed a manumission act that permitted slaves to remain in the state, contrary to Northern states that ran their freed slaves out of their states. This law retired slaves at 45 and the master had to maintain them for the rest of their lives with shelter, food, clothing, and medical care. Slavery was not free. It was a welfare burden upon the owner. Slaves approaching the retirement age had no incentive to leave the plantations and those in retirement had no reason whatsoever to leave, especially if it was the home of all their extended family and they were going to be cared for the rest of their lives. Slaves also had legal protections. The plantation was their home and where their families lived and had lived for generations. Freeing the slaves only shifted the welfare system which was financed and controlled privately, but which gave legal protections to slaves, and which got work out of people and created social order, into a public welfare system where many of these same folks today do nothing but exist and breed, produce no work, and are engaged in criminality. Moreover, the state now controls the welfare system by giving out food vouchers, housing, schooling, etc., which everyone has to pay for. This is all just a different form of slavery. The latter often led to slaves buying their own freedom, even owning slaves themselves, becoming capitalists, craftsmen, and merchants, and integrating into society naturally.
@@cliffpage7677 There was never any consideration other than slavery allowed American's and others to profit preternaturally leaving a legacy of barbarity that is now genetically codified to all who come into contact (any type)with progeny of Plantagenets.

@@cliffpage7677 Whatever you termed "burdens on their owners" was not the burden of some people to bear in the first place. Your submission is not very useful to this subject.
@@cliffpage7677 Burden?! The slave owners could have chose not to own slaves. They were not forced to own people. They could have been decent humans and paid free people a wage.👀
@@michelleharley2460 Most Southern owners felt that slavery was burdensome. In Virginia slaves at 45 years of age were retired and the master by law had to continue to maintain them in food, shelter, clothing, and medical care for the rest of their lives. Slavery was a private socialist state in which both the slaves and the masters had legal protections. Most slaves wanted to remain on plantations, where they were born, raised, and had families, and friends there, and it was their community in which they were comfortable. Eighty percent of slaves remained on the plantations and often the Yankee Army burned down their homes and killed their animals to run them off the plantations. This was a social system that was replaced with Federal socialism which was government-run, rather than private. This social slavery continues until today but at the expense of all Americans who foot the bill.
As I notice more and more states adopting laws regulating dog breeders I can’t help but bring to my mind the slave breeders. I’m torn between horror and anger.
The attempts to end slavery were long anticipated. The fights to get it done were deeply necessary and we thank God for our humane people of guts and intellectual awareness who made the end of slavery possible. The acknowledgement by the Monarchy of the wrongs slavery meted out is worth acceptance with Forgiveness by everyone. How to compensate for the loss of Black people can be dealt with reasonably even if not fully sufficiently. Forgiveness and love are still important to every relationship.
@@margaretmary-dj1psdr king also said black Americans should receive reparations . He said verbatim I’m going to Washington, DC to get our check. White liberals like to hide their racism behind MLK quoting the flowery words of love while ignoring the man’s writing over the last few years of his life which were radical. MLK I integrated by people into a burning house. There is no forgiveness without compensation. Black Americans should never forgive nor ignore the plights of their ancestors or even until today.
The souths economy was primitive compared to the North. And slavery was largely made redundant with modern farming machinery. Some people just have a hard time accepting that slavery isn't really an efficient system and didn't really contribute to America's growth. It was just a cruel system with minimal benefit.
Thanks for that deep analysis. I am sure you have a published book, peer-reviewed journal article(s), academic conference paper(s), maybe even a high school book report on this topic. Please share you intellect and insights with me. I want to learn from you!
His talk and book are important. That said, the nicest-seeming profs can be terrible to work for. You can’t tell from a presentation. Never assume. (I don’t know him. This is just a truth of academia.)
Assets stolen are debts owed. Perfectly put. Wealth was stripped away, transferred and generationally inherited as they grew and the current inequalities grew with it.
He makes some strawman arguments and overplays his argument here. He offers PART of a explanation. His presumptions of historians' racial identity is very telling as well.
(19:35) Indigenous people don't view themselves as "owners" of the land; rather as STEWARDS.."ownership" is a settler's (or colonizer's) reference point. Saying A. J*ckson was "extracting" the land form the Choctaw & Chickasaw, is putting it mildly, to say the least. Every treaty..every single treaty the U.S. government made with Native Americans, was broken by the U.S. government. ❤ 🙏🏽
This is all extemely important, but let us not restrict our critical scholarship and judgment to the past. While the buying and selling or persons is outlawed today, the renting of persons is still endemic with us. I recently read that Abraham Lincoln thought a big difference between slavery and wage labor ws that the former is a permanent not a temporary condition. I myself always felt abused by being a "human resource" not a peer in civil discourse and cooperative endeavor in the domain of social production.

It Has Not Been Easy.", by Michael Powell. "In February 2021, Paul Rossi, a math teacher [at Grace Church School, an elite private school in Manhattan]... met with a white consultant, who displayed a slide that named supposed characteristics of white supremacy. These included individualism, worship of the written word and objectivity.' Mr. Rossi said he felt a twist in his stomach. 'Objectivity?' he told the consultant, according to a transcript. 'Human attributes are being reduced to racial traits.' 'As you look at this list', the consultant asked,' are you having "white feelings"?' 'What,' Mr. Rossi asked, 'makes a feeling "white"?' Some of the high school students then echoed his objections. 'I'm so exhausted with being reduced to my race,' a girl said. 'The first step of antiracism is to racialize every single dimension of my identity.'... A school official reprimanded Mr. Rossi, accusing him of 'creating a neurological imbalance' in students.... A few days later the head of school wrote a statement and directed teachers to read it aloud in classes: 'When someone breaches our professional norms... the response includes a warning in their permanent file that a further incident of unprofessional conduct could result in dismissal.' A sizable group of parents and teachers say the schools have taken it too far -- and enforced suffocating and destructive groupthink on students... [One parent], who notes that his heritage is a mix of Jewish, Mexican and Yaqui tribe, pulled his children out of Riverdale and created a foundation to argue against this sort of antiracist education. 'The insistence on teaching race consciousness is a fundamental shift into a sort of tribalism,' he said.... This conflict plays out amid the high peaks of American economic inequality. Tuition at many of New York's private schools hovers between $53,000 and $58,000, the most expensive tab in the nation. Many heads of school make between $580,000 to more than $1.1 million. .... Grace Church School offered [Mr. Rossi] a contract if he participated in 'restorative practices' for the supposed harm done to students of color."
Sir, the reason should be obvious. The majority of American capitalists were British themselves. They were mere conduits who labored in harmony with their British brothers. Dirty hands are dirty hands whether in England or North America.

@@edwinamendelssohn5129 what are you talking about? Are you dense?
I'm a little mystified as to how such am obviously brilliant and erudite man could hold forth and publish on such a msssively tragic theme as slavery in America without mentioning the British Empire. The British Empire's "production line" method of enforcing a global system of economic hegemony relied on the slave system of the American south to furnish Britain's own abysmal factory system in order to send cheap textiles to India (where the cloth was finished into clothing) in exchange for opium which was forced into China, thus generating astronomical profits. These profits benefited the British people almost nothing but went into the vast coffers of Britain's banking oligarchs, as well as those of useful American banking elites who were subordinate to the British elites, as well as the cynical stakeholders comprising European aristocracy who even today outrank the British by a great deal. The British were emphatic and insistent about keeping the US economy exclusively backward, agrarian and slave-based. Even aster the Revolution, the British continued to enforce their will through infiltration of American politics and through a spectrum of thoroughly unwholesome tactics that led to the war of 1812 and the Civil War. It should be remembered that the British actively supported the South during the Civil War, providing ships, munitions, uniforms and rations. Slavery was the foundation of the British Empire, which was itself the preeminent prototype for today's globalism. There is virtually no distinction whatsoever. Even the same banking families and the same basic tactics carry over into today. Slavery, drugs and economic warfare are the pillars today even as they were the pillars of yesteryear.

@@hellooutthere8956 There are noble and royal families in Europe that far outrank the piddling Rothschilds. Remember, the Rothschilds were appointed to their position by the House of Hesse. They remain servants of the Habsburgs, to give one contemporary example. The House of Torlonia oversees the Bank for International Settlements, which is the central bank of central banks. They also oversee the US the Treasury. In terms of wealth and power, they make the Rothschilds look like mere bank clerks. It has been the practice of the Eurpoean Nobility, and especially the Italian Black Nobility, to allow the court Jews to rise above the lowly orders and to appear to control global finance, in order to distract from their own absolute tyranny. Very few people are even aware of some of these far more dominant noble and royal houses. This is by design.

A few years ago I was having lunch in Guangzhou China with a group of Chinese businessmen, they were saying how great American Businesses were. I ask them one question, If you had 1000 worker in your factory and you only had to provide them a cheap place to live and the cheapest of food where do you think your business would be in 10 years. All of them said that their business would be very successful, I told them that the reason that America is such a successful nation in business is because America had Slaves who worked for 400 years as free laborers. I went on to explain to them that, for 400 years the businessmen of America did not have any labor cost. You should have seen the expressions on their faces. I did not have to say anything else because they now knew the real history of American Capitalism.

China had slavery for most of its existence and by some accounts still dOws in places. It’s also a politically minded myth that slavery is the reason the United States is so wealthy today.

They were on that plantation until the mid 1900’s because they were too poor to move. They tried to do share cropping and we all know how that turned out.

Reparations need to include providing therapy to address generational trauma that was never addressed or healed.

I haven’t seen documentaries of those pickers being lashed, tortured and castrated and more other things after they’ve finished their work day!
Although it’s wrong and one may consider this as a concept of modern slavery this concept is by any means comparable to what happened to generations of slaves of black people!
She should chose her words for comparison more carefully!
There is trafficking of people today (farm workers, sex workers, and other industries) and it is the modern form of slavery. The nice thing about the Left is that they always have a pity party to see who is the most oppressed.
They have been put in cages. They are calling Native people illegal immigrants.. They are being assaulted. Slavery is still here in America.
I came specifically looking for this comment. I knew I wasn’t the only one who caught that.
She’s very young and inexperienced. Give her the benefit of the doubt.
There is always someone immediately trying to use the black slave experience to quickly transition to stop talking about that and equate it with so called Hispanics and Women.
TMH knows the number of hairs on our heads. TMH is keeping account of Esau/Edom's wickedness. Read the book of Obadiah APTTMH Alone for waking us up🙌🏿❤
I read Baptist's great book "The Half" in my 70's, and what's left of my old life will not be the same.
It shook me up pretty bad too.
Add to this US Apartheid & you understand why teaching History is such a problem. Especially when so many of US business practices have their origin in these eras (service, warehousing & manufacturing industries; fossil fuel/ extraction industries; transportation; reliance upon un/underpaid labor & resources; plantation sports, towns, politics; criminal justice system to extract labor & public resources under duress; mass disenfranchisement...). The past is prelude to the present. God forbid we teach people how their world actually functions & the myriad forms of resistance to make it better.
Thank You for you insight!
They should all boycott cotton .
@@sergegainsbourgii1852don't tell this to DeSantis and his "scholars"
And my Mother told us how picking cotton made her hands bleed, but she had to keep on working to feed her babies.
My mom grew up on a cotton/tobacco farm. She compared picking cotton to sifting through razor wire with one’s bare hands. Chopping tobacco was an entirely different set of hardships.
One of the reasons why my father went into the military was to get away from cotton and tobacco. The Korean War was in full swing at the time. He volunteered anyway…
My mom and grandma also told me those same stories. As well as how they made the tumble down share cropper shack livable. Also how they burned dry cow patties inside the shack to drive off mosquitos, flies and gnats
I am almost finished with the book, thank you for telling THE TRUTH and for telling the the story of my ancestors.

50% of all slaves sold in Africa indeed were criminals, and adultery was the principal crime. The others were prisoners captured in war or by slavers. Africans did not come to America as victims of the white man. They were captured, imprisoned, and enslaved or killed (the lucky ones were the slaves as the other half of the criminals got the only other sentence for crimes - death). Black animists and Muslims enslaved their own people in Africa and sold them to Muslims north of the Niger River and to other tribes in Africa and to traders from Europe and the Americas. The African slave was a victim of his own race, who enslaved him and then sold him. The international slave trade ended in 1808, but the last slaves came to the United States in 1860 the ship picked up its cargo in Africa, and the captain bought his goods by picking out his purchase from a pen holding 1000 Africans and he bought them from an African chief, long after the slave trade ended officially with Europeans and Americans, and there was a Slave Naval embargo imposed on the Africa coast.

But as a child I notice how my grandfather would act when Mr. Jackson would come around to bring him something from his overgrown garden. He would put on this facade. He would smile and be very polite. I had never seen him smile so much unless he was talking to one of the babies. Whenever Mr. Jackson came around I ran to the back of the house. I didn't like Papa acting so humble. Papa would start hollering for us to get the vegetables off the back of the truck. But I would stay in the back until I heard his truck leave.
My grandmother, on my mother's side, would always tense up when whites came around and tell us to be quiet. You see, her husband had been killed for talking too much about civil rights. They all shot him down like a rabid dog. Then they ran her out of Tutwiler, Miss. The white men stole her quilts and canned goods.

I believe this is long overdue and vitally needed, however, just providing scholarships will not compensate for the crushing, irreparable damage done to African Americans over generations physically, psychologically, and financially infinitely. I suggest that not merely educating African Americans but provide free land, homes, counseling, and support to build up communities of their own which would help build self assteem, reassemble a great deal of the dignity and sense of family lost. Money is not only the solution but it's an important part as we live in a capitalist society in which most of us are left lacking the capital to survive generationally as a result of the capitalist system in America built and driven and sustained by the slavery of African Americans.

Your scholarships will only improve the lives of a few. 400 years. This has distroyed generations of African American till this day. Glad your acknowledging the truth.
Do not forget slave owners were paid reperations for their loss of slaves.
Does anybody know how much more harsh was slavery in the United States compared to the rest of the world
It's been said that enslaved people in the Caribbean and South America may have suffered the harshest pains with shorter lives in that they were worked sun-up to sun-up, using all human strength until an immenant death and regularly replaced with another shipment of bodies as needed. Many did not live beyond mid-twenties in age for men, or thier late-teens for women. The transport of enslaved people ended in those places before the US did.
In the US, however, when the US was supposed to end transporting Africans, it did not. Then when they did, in order to keep a steady supply of enslaved they did atrocious things to keep a ongoing population. Longer lives were more valuable than short ones and RE-population was critical. Hence enslaved young women were forced to be impregnated and provide as many as 20 births (+/-) each by other unknown enslaved Africans or their captor. "American" slaves endured and relentlessly birthed a lifetime and legacy of suffering 400 years long.
Conclusion: Whether six in one hand or a half dozen in another, both extremes uprooted millions of people scattered over the world for the wealth & pleasure of their captors. The sufferings of chattle slavery were the difference of a guaranteed personal fast death or a panoramic view of a miserable life of slow, deep suffering for you and everyone you knew.
I would suggest that men enslaved in America, had it harder than almost anywhere, because a lot of them were married, talk about torture.

This topic and the publication of scholarly book on the topic is very old. Black scholars as early as 1944 wrote extensively on the topic. In 1944 Eric Williams published Capitalism & Slavery which the host mentions; Manning Marble in the late 1970’s published How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America; and Walter Rodney in 1972 published similar on How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. These have been foundation books in Black Studies for at least fifty years. I appreciate the scholar doing work on the topic.

Prof. Baptist from his extensive research offers a comprehensive accounting of capitalism plus evil. This man should have speaking engagements on every univ campus in America on this subject. Surely other white historians know this information but becuz of fragility and other reasons just aren't willing to share.
Not just universities but these subjects should be brought before the general public on a regular basis to break down racism on all levels. Ever notice that the racial violence generally starts among the less educated and because they assume history that is not accurate. Perhaps if the truth was generally known, they would not act in ignorance of the facts.

Well delivered talk, very informative. The book is now on my must read list in my daily task notes
I did not feel that this presentation was helpful to the dialog taking place in the 21st century. He starts by saying that much of America’s prosperity was enabled by slaves. The economic growth of most of the states that stayed in the Union during the Civil War came from entrepreneurs and legal immigrants. In the slave holding states, aside from Delaware, most of the wealthy were slave holders. However, many of them were no longer wealthy after that war. This lecturer does not mention the huge price in lives paid by the Union states to fight against slavery. The number of Union dead may be over 400,000. He appears to call for reparations. That money would have to come from today’s taxpayers, who had no voice in the slavery issue. Their ancestors never benefitted from slavery. Mr. Baptist fails to note that most slave-produced cotton lost much of their market when Jefferson Davis withheld the southern cotton crop from England. Instead of entering the Civil War on the side of the south. Instead, England found that cotton grew well in India. Slavery was evil. No argument there. However, constantly revisiting the issue and argueing that white Americans should feel guilty or be punished for an evil that ended over 80 years before they were born. Also, like many of my ancestors, their ancestors did not live in America at that time.
@@keithranker3908 First off let me say that I have never, not once heard anyone say white people should feel guilty about slavery. That's just made up nonsense people use to argue against any true telling of the history of slavery. Anyone that feels guilt over something they did not due is an idiot. The reasons why we teach the historical role slavery played in this country, is the same reason we teach any history, to educate ourselves so we can continue to evolve as a species. The reason people push back and attack certain studies and teachings is very simple, they feel the idealized image they have been shown since birth and have come to identify with, actually has some defects. Some find that frightening. The history of this country that has been taught and ingrained into the fabric of our society has been one that is thoroughly scubbed of its stains. If you were anything other than a white male you did not exist in school books for most of this country's existance. Little by little people are gaining an understanding of the importance of acceptance. Each generation learns a bit more truth, and that knowledge is what leads to understanding and growth. There will always be some who will refuse to grow. They will claim something is bad because it may turn kids gay, or make them want to pray to Lucifer, or make them feel guilty, it's all just a way of covering your ears and saying nahnahnanahna. It's just a bullshit excuse that anyone with a brain can see right through.
@@keithranker3908 I don't believe most reparation arguments ever mention that anyone living today is responsible for sorrows and injustices of the past. There are very wealthy institutions and corporations whose existence was made possible by slavery ND their are many families who have lived off that generational inheritance. I care more about truth than reparations. I wish there was more talk about the evils of those who thought more about their wealth than they did about helping to cause war that killed young people who thought they were fighting for a noble cause. When in reality the rich of the south hated poor white folks. They only treated them nice when slavery ended and they needed allies. Same thing still happening.
Do it, friend. I first read it in my 70's, and it's had a large impact on how I understand America's sad, ongoing racial conflict. We think of Blacks as historical victims without appreciating their forced contribution to the country's economic dominance, even today.
While I empathize with the issue of slavery in America I find this to be a form of one sided shaming. I must remind you that all races have been victims of slavery at one point or another in History and I am no more responsible for the suffering of your ancestors than you are of mine. Just respect one another from here on in and understand you are not alone in your victimhood.
@warrioroftruth6307nigga what????😂
My great grandparents were slaves. My grand mother's family were part Indian and Negro. My grandfather was dark skunned with straight hair. When he got older his hair turned silver. When he passed his hair was silver and jet black. My birth fathers family was mixed, negro and indian.
Yea black where the real Indians they won’t tell you that.
Thats somewhat true…i would say the brown people with a red undertone…or copper colored…but at the same time we must understand that its people of color on every land mass on the planet….95% of ancient & indigenous people are so called “colored”…so when we read about european countries in history lets not jump to the conclusion that those people are pale skinned…1 Love

Free labour is always the best type of Capitalism . Nothing new there
There was nothing free about institutional slavery in America. Many planters wished they could get out from under this system. In 1786 Virginia passed a manumission act that permitted slaves to remain in the state, contrary to Northern states that ran their freed slaves out of their states. This law retired slaves at 45 and the master had to maintain them for the rest of their lives with shelter, food, clothing, and medical care. Slavery was not free. It was a welfare burden upon the owner. Slaves approaching the retirement age had no incentive to leave the plantations and those in retirement had no reason whatsoever to leave, especially if it was the home of all their extended family and they were going to be cared for the rest of their lives. Slaves also had legal protections. The plantation was their home and where their families lived and had lived for generations.
Freeing the slaves only shifted the welfare system which was financed and controlled privately, but which gave legal protections to slaves, and which got work out of people and created social order, into a public welfare system where many of these same folks today do nothing but exist and breed, produce no work, and are engaged in criminality. Moreover, the state now controls the welfare system by giving out food vouchers, housing, schooling, etc., which everyone has to pay for. This is all just a different form of slavery. The latter often led to slaves buying their own freedom, even owning slaves themselves, becoming capitalists, craftsmen, and merchants, and integrating into society naturally.
@@cliffpage7677 There was never any consideration other than slavery allowed American's and others to profit preternaturally
leaving a legacy of barbarity that is now genetically codified to all who come into contact (any type)with progeny of Plantagenets.
I personally think that mass suicide of YT supporters would be horrifying, but as above.........
@@cliffpage7677 Whatever you termed "burdens on their owners" was not the burden of some people to bear in the first place. Your submission is not very useful to this subject.
@@cliffpage7677 Burden?! The slave owners could have chose not to own slaves. They were not forced to own people. They could have been decent humans and paid free people a wage.👀
@@michelleharley2460 Most Southern owners felt that slavery was burdensome. In Virginia slaves at 45 years of age were retired and the master by law had to continue to maintain them in food, shelter, clothing, and medical care for the rest of their lives. Slavery was a private socialist state in which both the slaves and the masters had legal protections. Most slaves wanted to remain on plantations, where they were born, raised, and had families, and friends there, and it was their community in which they were comfortable. Eighty percent of slaves remained on the plantations and often the Yankee Army burned down their homes and killed their animals to run them off the plantations. This was a social system that was replaced with Federal socialism which was government-run, rather than private. This social slavery continues until today but at the expense of all Americans who foot the bill.
#ReparationsNow #CutTheCheck for labor done by my ancestors that have not been paid!
Absolutely beautiful perspective from professor Baptist. Thank you very much
Great talk!
As I notice more and more states adopting laws regulating dog breeders I can’t help but bring to my mind the slave breeders. I’m torn between horror and anger.
The attempts to end slavery were long anticipated. The fights to get it done were deeply necessary and we thank God for our humane people of guts and intellectual awareness who made the end of slavery possible. The acknowledgement by the Monarchy of the wrongs slavery meted out is worth acceptance with Forgiveness by everyone. How to compensate for the loss of Black people can be dealt with reasonably even if not fully sufficiently. Forgiveness and love are still important to every relationship.
Are you going to go back to the time of Christ and charge the Romans for the death of Jesus?
It was about money, NEVER about morals.
Sad but PRISONERS will FOREVER BE SLAVES. So it will NEVER end in 🇺🇸
Dr. King said that only love can conquer . .evil, and hate .
@@margaretmary-dj1psdr king also said black Americans should receive reparations . He said verbatim I’m going to Washington, DC to get our check. White liberals like to hide their racism behind MLK quoting the flowery words of love while ignoring the man’s writing over the last few years of his life which were radical. MLK I integrated by people into a burning house. There is no forgiveness without compensation. Black Americans should never forgive nor ignore the plights of their ancestors or even until today.
The souths economy was primitive compared to the North. And slavery was largely made redundant with modern farming machinery. Some people just have a hard time accepting that slavery isn't really an efficient system and didn't really contribute to America's growth. It was just a cruel system with minimal benefit.
Thanks for that deep analysis. I am sure you have a published book, peer-reviewed journal article(s), academic conference paper(s), maybe even a high school book report on this topic. Please share you intellect and insights with me. I want to learn from you!

Assets stolen are debts owed. Perfectly put. Wealth was stripped away, transferred and generationally inherited as they grew and the current inequalities grew with it.
He makes some strawman arguments and overplays his argument here. He offers PART of a explanation. His presumptions of historians' racial identity is very telling as well.
(19:35) Indigenous people don't view themselves as "owners" of the land; rather as STEWARDS.."ownership" is a settler's (or colonizer's) reference point. Saying A. J*ckson was "extracting" the land form the Choctaw & Chickasaw, is putting it mildly, to say the least. Every treaty..every single treaty the U.S. government made with Native Americans, was broken by the U.S. government. ❤ 🙏🏽
This is all extemely important, but let us not restrict our critical scholarship and judgment to the past. While the buying and selling or persons is outlawed today, the renting of persons is still endemic with us. I recently read that Abraham Lincoln thought a big difference between slavery and wage labor ws that the former is a permanent not a temporary condition. I myself always felt abused by being a "human resource" not a peer in civil discourse and cooperative endeavor in the domain of social production.
Amazing how a person who is NOT an American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) takes a conference discussing ADOS, wealth extracted, horrors inflicted make it about them. Absolute reprobate.

Excuse if the following news article form The NYT is a repeat but it seem to me important:
The New York Times, +2021.08.27, "New York's Private Schools Tackle White Privilege. It Has Not Been Easy.", by Michael Powell.
"In February 2021, Paul Rossi, a math teacher [at Grace Church School, an elite private school in Manhattan]... met with a white consultant, who displayed a slide that named supposed characteristics of white supremacy. These included
individualism,
worship of the written word and
objectivity.'
Mr. Rossi said he felt a twist in his stomach. 'Objectivity?' he told the consultant, according to a transcript. 'Human attributes are being reduced to racial traits.' 'As you look at this list', the consultant asked,' are you having "white feelings"?' 'What,' Mr. Rossi asked, 'makes a feeling "white"?' Some of the high school students then echoed his objections. 'I'm so exhausted with being reduced to my race,' a girl said. 'The first step of antiracism is to racialize every single dimension of my identity.'... A school official reprimanded Mr. Rossi, accusing him of 'creating a neurological imbalance' in students.... A few days later the head of school wrote a statement and directed teachers to read it aloud in classes: 'When someone breaches our professional norms... the response includes a warning in their permanent file that a further incident of unprofessional conduct could result in dismissal.' A sizable group of parents and teachers say the schools have taken it too far -- and enforced suffocating and destructive groupthink on students... [One parent], who notes that his heritage is a mix of Jewish, Mexican and Yaqui tribe, pulled his children out of Riverdale and created a foundation to argue against this sort of antiracist education. 'The insistence on teaching race consciousness is a fundamental shift into a sort of tribalism,' he said.... This conflict plays out amid the high peaks of American economic inequality. Tuition at many of New York's private schools hovers between $53,000 and $58,000, the most expensive tab in the nation. Many heads of school make between $580,000 to more than $1.1 million. .... Grace Church School offered [Mr. Rossi] a contract if he participated in 'restorative practices' for the supposed harm done to students of color."
The half has been told they're just waiting for the other half the judgment
Sir, the reason should be obvious. The majority of American capitalists were British themselves. They were mere conduits who labored in harmony with their British brothers. Dirty hands are dirty hands whether in England or North America.
