      It's a damn shame all of those blacks sold blacks into slavery to black slave owners. If only the first slave owner in America, who was black, had been stopped. It's surprising how few people realize blacks are more likely to be descendants of blacks who owed slaves that whites are to have owned slaves. They never lie about this fact. They just never tell you the truth. It's a lie of omission. Blacks owe blacks reparations and affirmative action.

    I think what made Conan stand out from other late night hosts is,. He is well educated and highly experienced. He's humor revolves around knowledge and experience. Not just to make fun. That's why he can hold such interview with such serious tone and still be funny without being offensive. In United States, people still find it hard to have this topic talked about,. And Conan goes directly where it all began,. And talked about it and discussed it, and showed the world about it. Gotta love Conan

      @@danielh8569 ehh, what? This term was used in an interpretation of Draxt-i-Asurag(ig) which was a Persian poem written originally in Pahlawanig (an inspiration for Middle Persian). If anything, it resembles absolutist ideas of Parthian or Achaemenid Persians by extension, especially considering how they outlawed slavery when the greeks were practicing it left, right and centre.
      Normally, when credit (as usual) is taken away from ancient Persians and given to some loud, angry revisionists, I'd be angry. But today, I choose to be better, and not bitter.

      I was 16 when I went. It's a true eye opener. Learn the truth. The tribes fought, captured, and then sold or traded each other to the Spanish. People lie and say Europeans caught them. People actually think a European is going to run down and catch an African? No.

    I never considered what it would feel like not having a more solid idea of where one's ancestors come from. I think fondly of Ireland and enjoy hearing stories about their immigration to the U.S. and about the country of Ireland today. If I didn't have something like that, I think I'd be missing one of the more enjoyable aspects of my identity that connect to the people who came before me. This was great to see.

      Yeah, it was a real eye opener for me. Personally, I really don't care much about my ancestry, I know I have some Swiss, Irish and English in my family, but I don't really care about the heritage of it because I don't really consider it my heritage, personally (not to deride those people, I just never experienced it first hand). But I take it for granted that, if I wanted to, I'd wager I would have a shot of tracking my ancestry.
      These people don't have that option. Because their ancestors were treated as commodities. It's really quite sad. But it's nice to see them find a way to cope with that uncertainty.

    There are so many aspects to everything in the video.
    1) First of all this is less about Conan and more about the crucial period of time in Ghanian History. Conan LISTENED. Everyone should note that. Without jutting in he let everyone speak and listened.
    2) I am an Indian but this moved me as well. Maybe we don't have a Slave history with Africa in general but the oppression faced from the colonies which really moved me as it reminded me of all the stories that I heard from my elders.
    3) It's a beautiful thing to see that the youth are taking this seriously. And understand this.
    4) Lastly: 'It's important to leave better and not bitter' is a lesson in life. ❤

    All of these people in this group interview seem so eloquent and passionate. It made me very emotional. My great great grandmother was a slave. I don’t look African at all because im only 7-8% African. But I stil feel connected to the these people because my ancestors on my fathers side were African and Native American.. After watching this video, I realize just how important it is for African American and Native American people to gain an understanding of their history, origin and lineage. I think reparations are a good idea but to what degree? How to we determine the level of reparations, what type of reparations, what quantities, etcetera. I think the older man toward the end of the interview made the best statement of all, “we can be bitter, or we can be better. I choose to be optimistic. I choose to be better.” That was a simple, effective and brilliant statement. I’m so glad that the people with African heritage have this opportunity for “year of return”. I support this 100%. The African American people would gain so much confidence amd reassurance if they could find out more about their history and their culture that had been taken away from them. Conan, you and your team have done a brilliant job with this segment. It’s the most relevant, informational and meaningful thing you’ve ever done. Thank you so much.

    Man, Conan, I love you for this. I wish I could have made it this year. Whatever your motives were, many of us don't have the money to go and we appreciate this look. I don't think that people understand how horrible this time was, people think we are crying over nothing. I know if I ever get to go I will cry myself.
