Kyla Jones I disagree. It's not so much a matter of religion but money. The slave business was always very profitable and still is today in the case of human trafficking. it makes me wonder how much we've changed as a species.
you have a lot to learn kyla 1st of all nothing spiritual ever came out of europe your fake chrsitianity is just a spin of off ancient nile valley african stories and concepts that were based off of astrology and other things that we learned through trial and error as we partake as life forms on this planet so since we charted the stars i find it ironic that white people always bring up slavery in movies when they try to tell black people history as if we started off as slaves the trans atlantic slave trade was the 1600s but the white supremacist world that we live in will never teach you the truth white people were civilized by africans the first white people to come on the scene as a corporate entity were the greeks here is the problem ancient kemet is dated at 3500 bce but the greeks dont appear in history until 331 bce and everything they know were taught to them by kemetic africans thats why till this day white people claim to be the ancient egyptions LOL but you guys tell us to go back to africa LOL a frenchman was gazing at the sphinx and he said just think "that this race of Black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech !"
it had nothing to with religion it always has been about protecting yourselfs genetically white people have the weakest gene out of all black people have the strongest so in order to prevent genetic annihilation you enslaved us i can go deep into all of this but thats just to sum it upbut thats the real reason why white people hate and murdered and enslaved us but thats rather late in history if you do research look up a group of black people that went by the name moors they also educated white people infact europe was ran by moors im not lying either study about the moors in spain o yeah it will blow your mind you white people didnt even have soap thats right black people introduced white people to soap and i will leave it at that
+D Clark i hear you.. i hadn't seen Amistad in years, and i recently saw it a couple weeks ago. i had forgotten how powerful this scene and movie was..
+darrnell anderson . . . But you would much rather be born/alive in THIS "time period", lol? Given recent events, 2015 has been the worst year for people of color since - dare I say - 1955? How ironic.
+darrnell anderson your completely correct and i agree with your statement 100% .. I thank God (The one and only God , if somebody decides to try to be smart and ask "which God") Most of the men are taking today's freedom for granted although mentally we're not free but What you said shouldn't be questioned honestly
@@canaanwilliams122 but it also shows the tragedy. It shows that we are born free. And despite the fact that we are Born to be Free, evil men would still cast a newborn into slavery because it's parents are slaves. To me that is the heaviest moment in the entire movie.
@@snakey934Snakeybakey Most likely the probable reason for showing this particular scene in the movie. Y You're right how you explain it perfectly and understandably. Shows how the future offsprings of these "newly bought African slaves" unfortunately ended up in a vicious and cruel slavery cycle
I hope the extras who played the slaves were well compensated. Its hard to watch let alone imagine what a harrowing experience it must have been for them.
I'm a Mende descendant I saw this before I knew and it hurt me to the core. Once I found out it hurt me even more this happened to my ancestors this is how my ancestors got to America it hurts.
Films like this and Schindler's List really reveal the true horrifying events without censor. For the audience to know how it happen, and how tragic it was. Spielberg is a genius!
It made me mad when I had 2 watch both movies for World History class back when I was in the 9th grade & these young black kids thought both movies were funny about what happended in real life. Just goes 2 show u the ignorance of the African American race & got th😢e audacity 2 talk about other races.
@@Hunter200062010Whoa whoa whoa! You took a few young african american kids IN 9TH GRADE laughing about a movie equals "the african american race" being ignorant as a whole?? Wow.
I remember watching this movie in school with my classmates. My teacher made us watch, but I couldn't stay calm throughout the entire movie. As matter of fact; I didn't get a chance to watch the whole thing. I was too heart broken.
The same. My first time watching this film and my only time....I was a freshmen in highschool and I cried like a baby during this scene. My teacher Mr. Price brought me tissue to wipe the tears constantly shedding. It was too much for my heart to bare.
I will never understand how a human being can be so inhumane to another human being that did nothing to hurt or try to hurt them. I feel it is in our nature to naturally be good to our fellow man and to live on this earth in harmony.
Yes, that's for babies. Literally, I'm not sure if babies are redeposited to "harm or destroy" their environment. They are passive obverses. Now, if you have been "taught" such, you will "do as such". Don't you hate the people/religion/countries behind 9/11? Didn't that stuff happen almost 20 years ago?
These are the true formers or the Caribbean... i am proud to have African blood, being Puerto Rican we love to embrace our african influences since they gave us everything -music, food, culture. It's really sad how these beautiful people were treated in those times...
mauro icardi When the African kings were selling blacks to the Europeans they were selling people who, of course, were black but they were not indigenous to the area. The indigenous Africans knew the difference, but to the outside observer they were the same. When you really think about it they, the Africans, wouldn't have sold their own people off. Now the question is, who were the people that were being sold and shipped off?
this ridiculous. to think human beings do this to other sickens me. i had to watch this in history class today, one of the most depressing classes ever. And to think that British people were at the top of the slave train thing, sickens me even more. Almost makes me ashamed to be British to think this is what amused us in the past, there was no need for it😭
This shit went down for real. No matter how abhorrent it is, we just cannot shake off the foundations the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade made for the 20th Century.
For those of you emotionally charged by this scene please keep in mind that this ship was one of THOUSANDS. This experience goes beyond this ship. Keep in my mind that what took place on that ship is not even the worse of what was about to happen to my people. For the next 400 years they would see more pain and destruction than any of us could bare to face. Now what happens to a person who suffers such traumatic experiences such as the ones we see in this 2:42 scene and how does that not only effect the psyche of a person but the psyche of a culture. BLACK PEOPLE NEVER GOT THERAPY FOR THE CENTURIES OF VIOLENCE WE ENDURED. And you'll be stupid to think that generations of this kind of treatment does not effect us today, then think about how does it effect the decedents of those who kept blacks in bondage.
I speak for my people when I say... It was a different time. Little was known about aboriginal people of Africa. They were viewed as animalistic, wild humans, untamed. Born in the jungle like an animal. And so sofisticated, intelligent, civilized Europeans came along and used them as free labor. But the more time Eueopeans spent around them, the more Europeans saw they were not wild animals, they had emotions, feelings, formed families, and developed their own customs. This led to them eventually being freed. It was more ignorance & not understanding that Africans were more civilized than originally thought. The world was a complete different place 300 years ago.
If what happened to your ancestors 190 years ago affects you today, then you have the type of mental problems you need to see a psychologist for. I literally have dozens of black friends that are doing 100% fine today. All of us, and I mean ALL of us, have ancestors who went through brutal lives, if you're willing to go back far enough. Barack Obama's father deserted him when he was young, and then his mother died of cancer when he was little as well. Look what he accomplished after.
Slavery should never have happened. People of my colour oppressed your people but I hope you know that love and goodness is something all human can share with each other
Every race has been enslaved at some point. If you didn’t live through it, it doesn’t affect you. Get over yourself and remember history so it doesn’t repeat.
@@theofficialgreenkane9645Black's were free because they were protesting and having loads of rebellions, burning down plantations, estates etc...Whites weren't sorry for us they were concerned about how the rebellions would affect their earnings.....
My social studies teacher was talking about this movie in class when we were learning about slavery today and talked about this exact scene. I didn't know how sad and horrible it would actually be. I almost teared watching this...
@mr 360 Meaning what? That they're lacking all kind of moral, remorse, empathy or pity? That they are more cruel and savage? Is that what you're getting at??
***** John Gayetty (sic) made it possible for you to clean your ass with soft toilet paper. Remember, each time you wipe your ass, thank a white male. :)
This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen..... I'm still crying.... I can't believe innocent people have gone through this and much worse..... They didn't deserve that... Those Cruel cruel greedy people did that to them.... See what happens when people get money and power crazy....
A man has no rights but that which he and his friends are prepared to use force to defend to the death. The Amistad slaves proved they had the right to be free. Until they proved it, they did not have it. I am grateful to our brave soldiers who are prepared to defend my freedom so I don't have to kill for it myself.
Everything in life is economic driven....When it come down to a choice between morality and cash, be certain to believe that money has the ability of making one's mind go numb to another person's pain...!
He who has the paso, has the say-so. Guns rule the world. Fear is a powerful tool for control. If you feel you're doing Gods work, why think that's it's wrong? Ownership=Control. The opposite being Chaos=Disorder/Confusion. With this context, one could assume they are giving "Purpose" to that which didn't have one.
i saw this movie when i was 4 years old...i couldnt understand why people were chained and beinb beaten...i remember crying at some point watching this film...my dad held me and told me thawas the way people behaved to others,just know that that will never happen to you,and daddy loves you...
This is sickening, as a young Black male, an African who happens to be born in America based off the biggest crime in American history is sad, it's sad even to just imagine the pain and suffering that went on through this
+Anubis The death God If there is no race, there is no racism. Discrimination on the other hand like ethnicism, colorism etc....exists. One race, many ethnicities with a lot of genetic variation.
Wow just wow. This is so unhuman it seems unreal. I can only imagine what these poor souls had to go through. They are the strongest and bravest humans ever in my opinion.
The ship is spanish, and Portugal was part of Spain long time ago, like Italy and Holland. The history has been manipulated, England was the european country that more esclavised the black people. Saludos desde España a Estados Unidos (una antigua colonia)
I have strong familiar ties to the south all the way back to the revolution, and I won't lie and tell you that I'm not at least somewhat prideful of those roots. Believe you me, I have never wept so hard over a movie in my entire life than I did when I first watched this entire scene. My wife is African American and my son bares the blood of both sides of the American story. Including the native story, her blood is 25% creek, while an entire swath of my family name was murdered in Missouri by a war party. It is the story of our nation, while at times brutal and wrong, beauty prevails and life goes on.
This movie was played over the course of two days in my history class in high school. I think its such an incredibly important thing to show nowadays, to show what can seriously go wrong if we forget out past.
It honestly makes me feel sick that stuff like this is one of the reasons why I exist. I wouldn’t be here without my ancestors but they deserved so much better than this.
That’s an insult to there memory to equate a drug addict criminal to these innocents. Ignorants like you are a bad representation of the black community.

I hope my heavenly father comes soon to set things right, and judge those animals who treated these poor people like this just because of their skin color. and also because racism isn't over yet.
Seán Quinn Most of the time when the Bible speaks about slavery it is talking about an employer/employee relationship. Unless you are self employed, when you go to work you are working for your master...hence, you are the slave. Slavery, as conducted in the west by Europeans is different. It is called chattel slavery where human being are reduced to the level of live stock and their humanity is never recognized. Very different from how the rest of the world conducted their respective forms of slavery.
wasn't just the color of skin Africans own people sold them. all people can be cruel, life is cruel people still need to evolve..and any god that punishes is no god I want any part of.
MrMagee78 They weren't selling their own people. They were selling competing or alien tribes. Prior to the Atlantic Slave Trade, slavery was not conducted the way Europeans had done it. Slaves were the people who were conquered in wars or had debts to pay off and they could eventually integrate within the larger community. That is a far cry from how slavery was conducted in the US. Beyond that, I doubt very seriously that if the leaders of those African nations had known the treatment and abuse that millions of people would have suffered at the hands of the Europeans, that they would have participated in the trade.
Here's something that I feel needs to be said: yes while the slave trades were horrible, we cannot forget the fact that this was in the past. If we wish to move forward in our society we must look to the future instead of dwelling on the past.
slave trade was a business just like any other business. we never kidnapped anyone, we traded for humans in Africa, best you go and talk to the African Kings the ones who originally sold their own people into slavery.
coming from the UK we never got anything about this in school i found out myself about it what we got was about the Holocaust the Nazis and Anne Frank but not this maybe the teacher thought us being British kids we didnt need to know about this but every child no matter what country should know about this
I can't even watch this. It hurts that the ancestors had to go through that and also losing our lives to the ocean. Despite that we still live on as nubian people. We must continue the fight for freedom
I would do anything to save my ancestors how could they en slave my kind my race the african race I would rather me die than this happen to my great Greta grandma 😭
Donald Lucas so your basically saying even tho God can speak the world into existence, create the heavens as well as angels, but yet he is not able to stop man from committing monstrosities?
Of course God can do so as God pleases but that is not the case. I learned just recently life is a test and I better man up and accept the way things are. Who am I to fight an all infinite God? Just go along for the ride and be the best person you can be
yeah but actually it's not the same than american with britishs . latin americans are only partially spaniard blood. some of us are actually way more indigenous than spanish that's why the skin color. in latin america the closest ones to spaniards are argentinians and uruguayans by far. Mexico more in culture not so much in heritage really they look very different than people in Madrid
***** i know that the slavery in the Bible was mostly voluntary, when did i say it isn't?people that use slavery related verses to criticise the Bible are ridiculous.the slavery of ancient israel was totally different from the one involving africans in the america.the other slaves that the israelites held were captured prisoners of war, but even those had to be treated kindly.i said rubbish because i feel that the guy either tries to justify slavery with those verses or he tries to paint the Bible in a bad light, supposedly by showing that it supports slavery, but actually i'm not really sure of why he posted the verses. :) take care,man
My history teacher showed this part of the movie and I feel soo bad.. I hate how slaves where treated back then, also this just made my heart break. Btw when everyone was naked, me and my friends where disturbed
john cobain doing a project and this white dude named Lewis tappan. Not all whites are bad. That's when some of us black folk fail to realize and discriminate whites when we are doing any better
Don't be. Not all whites supported this, in fact remember this -- hundreds of thousands of white men died to put a final end to this problem as far as America is concerned. British soldiers and sailors risked their lives to scour the ocean for ships like the Tecora and the Amistad. We had a problem, realized we had a problem, and did what we could to fix it. Many cultures refuse to self-examine in this way and fix their own problems. The Romans chose to die rather than evolve. We passed that test. We evolved. For the centuries before the 19th century, slavery was just seen as the way the world was. It was the whites that looked at the way the world was, and said "** this we're fixing it!* And we did. We evolved and grew as a people. We made the same mistakes everyone else made. We just learned from them. It took us blood and centuries, but we passed the test. Few other conquering peoples performed as well as human beings as the white race did.
Are you a slave master? Do you randomly kill innocent people? Do you hate people because of their skin color? If you answered no, why be ashamed? Are you a good person? If so, why be ashamed?
cause youre stupid......learn some history then you will find out that white man wa not the first to enslave black ppl.....it was the muslims who sold the first black man to white ppl
This is a very powerful scene to make. It may have been 'acting' but surely the emotions had to be real.
humans treating other humans worse than animals.a sad chapter of history
Very sad. Your right mate.

@mr 360 Meaning what? That they're lacking all kind of moral, remorse, empathy or pity? That they are more cruel and savage? Is that what you're getting at??
@The Frito Bandito Do some research and less trolling.
We watched this in class. Holy shit I got so angry.
+Xpzilla why ? because you are black ? haha
No because I'm normal. This should probably piss off any normal human.
I was learning this in my History class today! I had tears in my eyes!
I get a bad feeling in my stomach when I watch this man..
My Brothers and sisters 💔 Truly heartbreaking
Grown man crying here. :(
This stuff is best not to watch if your a black american .. its gets to you and trigger negative thoughts
White pride baby! It's the same as black pride, but unlike black pride it's not based on ancient egyptian role playing. :)

It's always nice to see idiots with no self respect projecting the hate they feel for themselves.

John Gayetty (sic) made it possible for you to clean your ass with soft toilet paper. Remember, each time you wipe your ass, thank a white male. :)
Borat can fix u trigers with giant Polish sausage in you cha cha
Wow just watched this. Powerful. Truth. Beautiful. I cried the whole movie.
How evil does a man have to be to do such thing to fellow human.. People who were involved will have to pay... here or the hereafter.
This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen..... I'm still crying.... I can't believe innocent people have gone through this and much worse..... They didn't deserve that... Those Cruel cruel greedy people did that to them.... See what happens when people get money and power crazy....
Had to watch this in history class, I cried😭
this is a part of history that won't be forgotten
Terry Delahanty Well I mean certainly not the only one part, but yes this is awful
Of course not, black people bring it up every second of the day.
The worse scene in this movie when the men on the ship tied up the slaves to weights and threw them into the ocean. An evil scene and heartbreaking.
We had to watch the full thing in history class and it made me realize how much we have 😳😳😖😱😰😰
MrTerminatorTed I couldn't watch it because it is 15+... BRUH
MrTerminatorTed same it made me cry how these people were treated back then. no one should ever have to go through that pain
I hate how they make it seems so savage and chaotic. I'm pretty sure this stuff happened, but I FEEL it wasn't always like this.
After seeing all this I was for the slaves when they took over the ship the crew deserved what they got
Chris&forrest funvideos It was a true story too.
+Chris&forrest funvideos Of course. Better grave, than a slave.
沒有奴隸沒有美國
Revenge!! I have a stupid idea. What if this is an artistic rendition of this era. If you will an exaggerated drama.
What "right" does anyone have to assume ownership of another person's life?
A man has no rights but that which he and his friends are prepared to use force to defend to the death.
The Amistad slaves proved they had the right to be free. Until they proved it, they did not have it.
I am grateful to our brave soldiers who are prepared to defend my freedom so I don't have to kill for it myself.
not just person, any animal(including us)
Everything in life is economic driven....When it come down to a choice between morality and cash, be certain to believe that money has the ability of making one's mind go numb to another person's pain...!
He who has the paso, has the say-so.
Guns rule the world.
Fear is a powerful tool for control.
If you feel you're doing Gods work, why think that's it's wrong?
Ownership=Control. The opposite being Chaos=Disorder/Confusion. With this context, one could assume they are giving "Purpose" to that which didn't have one.
It's not about right or wrong, it's about what you can take and keep hold of.
i saw this movie when i was 4 years old...i couldnt understand why people were chained and beinb beaten...i remember crying at some point watching this film...my dad held me and told me thawas the way people behaved to others,just know that that will never happen to you,and daddy loves you...
This is sickening, as a young Black male, an African who happens to be born in America based off the biggest crime in American history is sad, it's sad even to just imagine the pain and suffering that went on through this
I must watch this. I owe my ancestors so much. I thank tree writer producer director and actors for this gift that I can watch.
Man, it's so unfortunate that this is how people treated each other. BTW I don't want to see any racist reply's to this comment.
+Anubis The death God - why not? after all, blax often wipe their asses with whites, do they not?
+Anubis The death God If there is no race, there is no racism. Discrimination on the other hand like ethnicism, colorism etc....exists. One race, many ethnicities with a lot of genetic variation.
+Anubis The death God
People still treat each other like this. Remember Abu Greid?
Wow just wow. This is so unhuman it seems unreal. I can only imagine what these poor souls had to go through. They are the strongest and bravest humans ever in my opinion.
You realize this is a movie right? Theatrics and exaggerations are great for telling a gripping story.
Can't watch this scene and the following without tears flooding my eyes.
And we're just supposed to "forget about this" smh
One thing I never understood, if the slave ship was Portuguese why did the ship crew speak Spanish?
Busy assembly.
ever heard of Christopher Columbus?
The ship is spanish, and Portugal was part of Spain long time ago, like Italy and Holland. The history has been manipulated, England was the european country that more esclavised the black people. Saludos desde España a Estados Unidos (una antigua colonia)
+jsphat81 One of the explanations is that it's Hollywood. When it comes to anything outside of USA, it's pure ignorance.
It was a Spanish ship, not Portuguese.
I have strong familiar ties to the south all the way back to the revolution, and I won't lie and tell you that I'm not at least somewhat prideful of those roots.
Believe you me, I have never wept so hard over a movie in my entire life than I did when I first watched this entire scene. My wife is African American and my son bares the blood of both sides of the American story. Including the native story, her blood is 25% creek, while an entire swath of my family name was murdered in Missouri by a war party.
It is the story of our nation, while at times brutal and wrong, beauty prevails and life goes on.
This movie was played over the course of two days in my history class in high school. I think its such an incredibly important thing to show nowadays, to show what can seriously go wrong if we forget out past.
I will believe in an afterlife to believe these monsters are in hell
It honestly makes me feel sick that stuff like this is one of the reasons why I exist. I wouldn’t be here without my ancestors but they deserved so much better than this.
This is so sad I wish this would never happend
The sad part is that Cinque became a Slave Trader himself later in his life.
I don't know what's harder to watch: this or the final scene in "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas".
revisting this since george floyd passed away
That’s an insult to there memory to equate a drug addict criminal to these innocents. Ignorants like you are a bad representation of the black community.
And you guys claiming that Islam is terrorist that's what I call terrorism
nothing beats islam when it comes to slavery, Islamic invaders were into mass castration of Hindu and African men, burning of libraries, destruction of temples.
We don't call everyone who supports islam terrorists we call on the isis group
+Derrick Smith my friend im from lebanon and trust me I know many of these islamic terroristic groups, but in that specific comment i was saying that not all people who support islam are terrorists, I m saying that groups like isis are terrorists, but I am not saying that US and other countries have no terroristic groups and organizations
Most people who follow Islam are NOT terrorist. %99.98! Are not extremist and .02 are...just like any other religion. The biggest TERRORIST in the world, the extreme Judaist of Israel who terrorize Palestine daily!.
+snoopatomicdog Go have some knowledge about Islam and than come and talk to me about slavery Islam came to free people from slavery it won't hurt you if you read about it
aww a tear just came down my face so bad to treat them like that
I really wish they would just show this film in schools to get kids to understand racism, genocide and greed.
I love watching Stephen Spielberg's films because they're so fictional.
This makes me sick to the core of my being. I hope every man that abused a human being burns in hell.
They captured the atmosphere so well, it's so depressing
I feel so bad for the slaves having to do with this. But thank goodness that they took over the ship
You could see their bits
Holly DiCaprio you don't say....... ;-;
Tall Ship Races 1839 :D
That’s just so heart breaking that they had to go through that treatment
Yea we act like were gangsters when one of us is up there runnin yo ass
I hope my heavenly father comes soon to set things right, and judge those animals who treated these poor people like this just because of their skin color. and also because racism isn't over yet.
Have you ever read the bible? It condones slavery, you jackass.
Sean Quinn it says slaves should obey there masters, IT DOES NOT CONDONE SLAVERY. Which is sort of means respect people based on your social class.
Seán Quinn Most of the time when the Bible speaks about slavery it is talking about an employer/employee relationship. Unless you are self employed, when you go to work you are working for your master...hence, you are the slave. Slavery, as conducted in the west by Europeans is different. It is called chattel slavery where human being are reduced to the level of live stock and their humanity is never recognized. Very different from how the rest of the world conducted their respective forms of slavery.
wasn't just the color of skin Africans own people sold them. all people can be cruel, life is cruel people still need to evolve..and any god that punishes is no god I want any part of.
MrMagee78 They weren't selling their own people. They were selling competing or alien tribes. Prior to the Atlantic Slave Trade, slavery was not conducted the way Europeans had done it. Slaves were the people who were conquered in wars or had debts to pay off and they could eventually integrate within the larger community. That is a far cry from how slavery was conducted in the US. Beyond that, I doubt very seriously that if the leaders of those African nations had known the treatment and abuse that millions of people would have suffered at the hands of the Europeans, that they would have participated in the trade.
this y im not celebrating thanksgiving. no more
Early Bird I don't get why you ever celebrated it in the first place
Early Bird Why what is wrong with thanksgiving
Shut up.
Jason Palacios I'm sorry are you talking to me
Actually no I was talking to Early Bird.
Here's something that I feel needs to be said: yes while the slave trades were horrible, we cannot forget the fact that this was in the past. If we wish to move forward in our society we must look to the future instead of dwelling on the past.
A_loyal_American British rule of American colonies is also in the past so stop celebrating fourth of July
@@theArun3435 thank you!
This is super sad and horrifying to see, thank god this doesn’t happen today. I wish the best for you all.
slave trade was a business just like any other business. we never kidnapped anyone, we traded for humans in Africa, best you go and talk to the African Kings the ones who originally sold their own people into slavery.
But we treated them like crap on our ships.
Teacher was gonna show this to our class, but I guess she was right to our else she would trigger a few dirty 13 year old minds.
+.:EverythingMoe:. Strange, same thing happened to me
My teacher showed it today
coming from the UK we never got anything about this in school i found out myself about it what we got was about the Holocaust the Nazis and Anne Frank but not this maybe the teacher thought us being British kids we didnt need to know about this but every child no matter what country should know about this
Frozen Ice Queen Elsa Indeed your Highness, indeed
+Frozen Ice Queen Elsa I live in England and we were taught about this.
I can't even watch this. It hurts that the ancestors had to go through that and also losing our lives to the ocean. Despite that we still live on as nubian people. We must continue the fight for freedom
Literally there are people out there still who think this is a good thing
Its natural the weak will be conquered and ruled by the strong
Probably a smaller minority than the trans community.
I would do anything to save my ancestors how could they en slave my kind my race the african race I would rather me die than this happen to my great Greta grandma 😭
So sad
This is so sad, not just the way they were treated but the way they were split form family and friends and probably never saw them again.
2:07 broke my heart
I guess the real question is, where was God when all this was going on?
That's what free will is for
Donald Lucas so your basically saying even tho God can speak the world into existence, create the heavens as well as angels, but yet he is not able to stop man from committing monstrosities?
Of course God can do so as God pleases but that is not the case. I learned just recently life is a test and I better man up and accept the way things are. Who am I to fight an all infinite God? Just go along for the ride and be the best person you can be

I'm Mexican but wtf!
tejano151 yeah if you have european..spaniard blood..most spainards were caucasian
+Nikki JesusIsLord nope. they were Celtics, Visigoths, Romans and Moors.
At least three of those tribes are Caucasian race. Not as sure about the Moors, I think they're a mix.
hagamapama
Yea moors were arab mostly and some black
yeah but actually it's not the same than american with britishs . latin americans are only partially spaniard blood. some of us are actually way more indigenous than spanish that's why the skin color. in latin america the closest ones to spaniards are argentinians and uruguayans by far. Mexico more in culture not so much in heritage really they look very different than people in Madrid
There aren't words for this
That was a terrible over-dramatization.
Good old time
fool may you perish
SuperSoldier why?
Deuteronomy 28:68 (amistad)
kalyawam rubbish
***** i know that the slavery in the Bible was mostly voluntary, when did i say it isn't?people that use slavery related verses to criticise the Bible are ridiculous.the slavery of ancient israel was totally different from the one involving africans in the america.the other slaves that the israelites held were captured prisoners of war, but even those had to be treated kindly.i said rubbish because i feel that the guy either tries to justify slavery with those verses or he tries to paint the Bible in a bad light, supposedly by showing that it supports slavery, but actually i'm not really sure of why he posted the verses. :) take care,man
Saw some of these movie clips today. It was so sad I can't even imagine.
My history teacher showed this part of the movie and I feel soo bad.. I hate how slaves where treated back then, also this just made my heart break. Btw when everyone was naked, me and my friends where disturbed
Especially at 0:04 where you can see that one guy’s ding-a-ling flopping around

I proud myself.of Being Indian
Good for u
Amazing how so many had no feelings back then
And yet…let Ron Desantis and other Republicans tell it, slavery was beneficial.
THIS is why it’s important to have black history taught in schools.
I feel ashamed to be white :(
john cobain don't be ashamed to be white unless you treat people the same way
john cobain doing a project and this white dude named Lewis tappan. Not all whites are bad. That's when some of us black folk fail to realize and discriminate whites when we are doing any better
Don't be. Not all whites supported this, in fact remember this -- hundreds of thousands of white men died to put a final end to this problem as far as America is concerned. British soldiers and sailors risked their lives to scour the ocean for ships like the Tecora and the Amistad. We had a problem, realized we had a problem, and did what we could to fix it.
Many cultures refuse to self-examine in this way and fix their own problems. The Romans chose to die rather than evolve. We passed that test. We evolved.
For the centuries before the 19th century, slavery was just seen as the way the world was. It was the whites that looked at the way the world was, and said "** this we're fixing it!*
And we did. We evolved and grew as a people. We made the same mistakes everyone else made. We just learned from them. It took us blood and centuries, but we passed the test. Few other conquering peoples performed as well as human beings as the white race did.
Are you a slave master? Do you randomly kill innocent people? Do you hate people because of their skin color? If you answered no, why be ashamed?
Are you a good person? If so, why be ashamed?
cause youre stupid......learn some history then you will find out that white man wa not the first to enslave black ppl.....it was the muslims who sold the first black man to white ppl
A Kardashians paradise 😂
I forget what class in highschool I watch this clip in, but afterwards I felt sick and mentally disturbed.
I had to watch this in my history class today
