    I was raised by my grandfather. We would watch all the chaos going on in the 70's on our rural little farm. He would tell me many rules a good man should live by. One of those rules was to never use the color of my skin as an excuse for personal weaknesses. And another was to respect all people until they give you reason not to. Rules I still live by.

      Over 90% of college professors are democrats as well.
      The fact is Democrats try to use identity politics to divide America into groups and they want to control a majority of those groups.

    My ex from Congo watched this and didn’t get overly emotional, I told her about the current slave trade between Saudi states and Africa which is larger than any slave trade in history and she wasn’t so emotional, but she went all in on BLM, and that was so sad to see because she kept using her skin to excuse her simply not working or building something for herself, and she became basically impossible to date, and there will be hundreds of thousands of young women and men like her today

      The first slave owner in the future US was an African indentured servant from 1619. He brought people over from Africa under an indentured servitude contract and successfully argued that one of them was bound to him for life. This is allowed through English Common Law under a debtor's contract and still exists today in places like India. It even expands to multi-generational contracts. In the US these types of contracts were abolished long before the civil war. Nearly all debts are abolished during bankruptcy with the exception of Student Loans and those will probably be challenged in the coming years.

      What exactly is "faith" directed at in this statement? Faith in what? Usually it's directed at the existence of the Christian God, which then in turn, purports fear. In Christianity, it's essential for fear and faith to exist in the same place. Although I am not Christian, I still don't understand this statement, nor do I understand why people are moved by it. Fear, is a natural response when facing mortal adversity. If you think that you can invest enough faith into anything and become impervious to fear, you're either wrong, or you're a sociopath. Or perhaps a bit unhinged due to relentless fanaticism.
      If, by chance, the statement implies that faith is in one's self, I can stomach it, but I don't see any significant power in it.

Sowell and others know that it's difficult to point out deception to the deceived because they hate to admit being fooled for so long by so many... it's VERY uncomfortable.

    There's a book called "Barracoon: The Story of the Last Black Cargo" that you should read, if you haven't already. It's a biography of the last living slave (known at the time) in the US to make the journey across the Atlantic, Cudjoe Lewis. The author interviewed him in 1927, but the book wasn't published until 2018 (58 years after the author died). He gave her his account of his village being raided by a neighboring tribe when he was a teen, the men slaughtered and dismembered, the women and children sold as slaves. This kind of brutality served 2 purposes. It eliminated nearby enemies/competitors, and it filled the conqueror's pockets. It's also not unique. Most of human history worldwide has been a cycle of violence and subjugation.

      @@justmehello5543 If anything, that's just a government reimbursement, not a reparation. The slaveowner spent his own money on a practice that was supported and fueled by the State, so when the State did away with the practice it took on the financial burden of giving the people who spent their money participating in it by giving it back to them. Countries are rich, but hardly ever _that_ rich, and to some perspectives that might be seen as "rewarding the wrong guy" but to me I see that as the State accepting responsibility for it's own role and taking the consequences upon itself.

She was supported to lie by authorities. Later this was used against her when she became very critical of islam and made a short movie by Theo van Gogh about the submissive role women have in islam. The movie was called Submission. Shortly after this movie Theo van Gogh was assasinated by a muslim in Amsterdam. Ayaan, by then a Dutch member of parliament was demonised and bullied out of parliament. Her original lies to enter the country were used against her. I am ashamed for my country about that.

    I appreciate you folks putting this on. As a white guy with a PhD, it never occurred to me that slavery could be related to racism. For example, the Spanish selected Africans to work in the Caribbean islands and South America because the indians they had enslaved could not endure the brutal conditions and were dying quickly. In other words, the Africans were found to be hardier, not inferior!

    Thomas Sowell is someone who more should admire. He is brilliant, and he isn’t afraid to speak the truth. It is also good to hear the truth that is being spoken in your video. We should be teaching all history in our schools (even the painful topics) so we can learn from it. Unfortunately that doesn’t happen. Instead we tend to skip over the history that is difficult, the history we don’t want to hear, and then we end up repeating the same mistakes over and over. Thank you for sharing this video.

    I was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the early 2000, and we went by an area where you could still see the remains of the slave holding pens for the nearby slave market. Up until that point, we were having such a good time touring the city, but when the driver took us there, there was such a profound impact on us that everyone went quiet. This area had been used through the early 1900s to house the slaves for the market. It was only in ruins because they just left to fall apart.

    LaKeesha, your comments about shaming ourselves through our personal actions and culture is spot on! I’m a white female and this applies to all of us. We ALLOW too much and expect far too LITTLE of ourselves. We are our own worst enemies in many instances. We need to respect ourselves first. A brilliant, inspired man of God named Gordon B. Hinkley once said (and this is not a direct quote word for word): The best way to raise self-esteem is to learn to work hard and accomplish something. I have found that to be true in my own life and I most certainly did not come from a privileged background. My dad taught me that there was always a way to accomplish a task. Always. That one lesson has served me well my entire life in conjunction with my faith in God. With those two tools, nothing REALLY seems impossible. Good bless you both. ❤️

    One thing not mentioned here was how the Irish where taken to the west and put into indentured servitude. The women were used to make more slaves by being forced to mate with African men. This would save the slave owner a lot of money and also allow for trading women for other African males. Indentured servitude was a work off system giving false hope of working for your freedom. Most owners would tack on years to their time for small things like breaking a dish or staining a shirt. This in itself was a form of slavery. So even the children of African men and indentured servants where born into a form of slavery. The whole ordeal was tragic.
