Unbelievable! White People Ended Slavey? Candace Owens
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2023
- In this candid conversation, award-winning talk show host and social commentator Candace Owens shares her thoughts on the history of slavery in the United States.
Most people believe that white people invented slavery, and that it was a benign institution that ended with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1865. Candace Owens has a different perspective, and she shares it in this candid conversation with talk show host Brittany Pettibone. In her opinion, slavery was actually ended by African Americans themselves through a militancy that culminated in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s.

I tip my hat to Candice Owens, but if you really want to learn about slavery and the origins of black culture, you must listen to Thomas Sowell.
Don’t listen to Thomas Sowell. READ Thomas Sowell!!!
That's where she learned it from
Prager U also offers Carol M. Swain. She is incredible. So happy to see you increasing your knowledge about history.
@@treysimms9614 'A national treasure!'
..speaking of Tomas Sowell
This girl just gave me some hope for the youth within seconds minutes of this video the fact that there having these debates now in school is incredible because this is something that was brushed past too fast for too long
Me too. I was impressed. Way to go.
So impressed with these young people. This gives me faith in our future as a country with kids like this.
Well, in our country if the Democrat party was the one committing these atrocities, well after slavery was abolished (slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, Lynchings), and the Democrat party is the one dictating what schools teach on history, there is a conflict of interest. We need to have objective views to get to the truth.
Happy to see young Americans waking up and realizing real history.
These people missed the ENTIRE message, and Candace Owens distracted them by speaking on slavery throughout history and other parts of the world. The ONLY thing Black Americans care about are the history and facts of BLACK ENSLAVEMENT in North America/United States!! Everything else is IRRELEVANT!! Also - whites do NOT get credit for ending slavery, because they should NEVER have been enslaving Black people in the first place!!
😂😂😂 really was that history go do another research only books that are not in America
Racism is taught...we need to unlearn it ❤
In other words, we need to stop teaching it in schools? Because for awhile it wasn't and that generation grew up to be colorblind and see everyone as equal. Now, the schools teach that being colorblind is the problem and teaches them to be oppressors or oppressed the day they were born because of their skin color and racism has skyrocketed in the areas it's being pushed. Guess where that is? By the democrats (the party of slavery) against the white republicans (the ones who gave their lives to end slavery because that was the right thing to do and we knew our own history of being slaves).
This is important because I was actually in the school system when they changed the curriculum to rewrite history and start doing everything possible to dumb down the students. I even called a teacher out on it in private and you know what she said? "We don't have a choice, the government made this order and we have no choice but to follow it. Look, the other kids can't know about this and you can't question teachers on this or they will have to punish you for it. Keep your head down and go with the flow or you'll be knocked down like the nail head that sticks up."
So what did I do? I stood up against every one of the teachers who started teaching the new false narrative of history and the forced politically correct speech in writing/assignments. Did I get punished? Yes, they tried to give me a "C" on a science test when I got all of the science questions right, but they had 5 personality/behaviors questions at the end and I answered that I was "An Introvert" instead of doing the apparent correct response of I was "An Extrovert". So what did I do? I got the principle involved and then threatened to make the truth public to the media and protest on the street to expose the school. I got the paper corrected to an "A" though the school tried to get me out of school as soon as possible by moving me up a grade for being too smart. So what did I do? I said no, and I stayed in that school the entire time giving students advice, the truth, and teaching them how to learn and think for themselves. I couldn't get to all of them, but I got to enough of them to make a difference. We have to get back to teaching the truth and how to think for ourselves, and not teaching the desired ideology wanted by the corrupt.
She’s referring to legal slavery. Unfortunately the illegal sex slave trade is occurring all over the world. But she’s right about slavery only being legally practiced or openly practiced in Africa, the Middle East, etc.
Well in Saudi Arabia it's illegal to sell slaves and yet they have 24000 African slaves, so how did they get these people,,, easy they kidnapped them and sold them.
But nothing is said or done about that also the largest slave trade is child sex trafficking.
That was what was thought until we just learned their trafficking slaves into America to work...America is allowing it, but not doing it. But the simple fact they're allowing it means none of these people actually give a damn about slavery. It was all just a ploy and a tactic to gain power
even in those countries its not technically legal, its "maybe legal" theres a lot of grey areas in poorer countries that skirt slavery, meaning in africa if you give a worker a home and never pay them, thats legal slavery, if you just dont pay them thats illegal, its all about the loopholes
@@bigfrankfraser1391 wrong I've been to Africa and no there's three countries that practice slavery and in Saudi Arabia they to still practice slavery just it's no longer legal to sell slaves.
But the most disparaging part of all of this is the child slave trade that even goes unnoticed by the media.
And is often called "a right wing conspiracy theory", even though there was a church in Georgia that got raided for trafficking young children and the pastor got elected to Congress under the Democratic party ticket.
Just let that one sink in.
If she is the historical genius, America is in trouble 😂😂
I lived on a old plantation. Tater valley TN in the 70s. That county had two. The rich owned slaves. The poor was against it. Those rich people moved to dc. Ancestors of the democrat party.
100%. They’re trying to rewrite history.
what a sweeping statement.
Lmao wow this makes zero sense but go off. 😂😂😂
Party switch ring a bell?
That's not true at all. :) Democrats from the south switched to the GOP. This is a well documented event in time.
Well done young people. Without having people like you in the world learning and pushing back at the lies being told by universities and politicians it will never stop
😂😂😂 don't make me laugh 🤣🤣

If only.
I feel so fortunate that my mother hated racism. I was too young to know what it even was. I remember my family having friends over who were black and it was nothing. And this was in the 70's in Texas.
Then neighbors were angry and used words I'd never heard before and my mom got in their face and told them if they used that word in front of her son again, she was going to give them a punch in the jaw. And she meant it. For me, people were always just people. My mom used to say "What a boring place the world would be if we were all the same". She taught me to love and embrace the differences in people and different cultures.
Like I said, I'm very blessed. And the result was I always had friends from every ethnic background. No need for any labels other than "friend".
Same here, thank goodness for the honorable & decent parents out there!
me too. My brother and I hae always been dead against any sort of racism due to my Mothers example. We are also against any sort of bigotry. Its vile and its dangerous.
U know U won't change history whether U like it or not, maybe U can change American history but no one is changing African history
wait so what s your point? white people actually weren t that nice as the video says and they actually invaded Africa to kidnap people of color? If you are from Africa and know more about it feel free to tell us cuz im curious.

Knowledge is power... I love to see young folks learn what they want not what they told 👍❤🤝
I appreciate your energy and willingness to hear things that are different.
Sorry. You are missing important parts of the video by talking with the video on!
If you haven't already, plz check out Thomas Sowell. He explains it all
Thank you for being open minded allowing us all to learn some facts about history.
Hmm, really interesting stuff - from a european perspective it definitely seem like this information have been actively kept away from most americans, especially genX and younger.
Textbook example of how to divide people in this "age of (mis)information"
Great reaction!
Even university-educated baby boomers have been lied to about this subject.
In the first Greek constitution on February 25, 1822, slavery was abolished in Greece, Greeks was enslaved in ottoman empire for over 400 years and the Greeks revolt against ottomans in 1821.
England banned slavery within its own country in the 11th century the formal declaration referred to here was the last of a series of laws past for the colonies. This seems odd until you understand the model for the British empire was that they supported private ventures and in return they traded through Britain. This gave the colonies the right to rule in favour of having slaves independently of mainland Britain for far too long but this journey started in the 11th century after William the Conqueror took charge of England. The British also blockaded the continent of Africa to stop the slave trade fighting every country that was still profiting from the trade
There are no slavery in Germany if you leave the romans. sry my eng is Horror. ; )
@@rianair5899 Germans had slaves even in 20th century all the people that Nazis captured worked for Germany as slaves, even worse, when they didn't work enough Germany killed them,what are you talking about?
@@rianair5899 I am pretty sure the Nazis used Jews as forced labour back in WW2.
U can't change African history 😂😂 go to school
"well obviously they're not WOKE..." Thank You!!! Exactly!
Candace is one smart girl
people often became slaves after losing a war or if they had committed a crime or couldn't pay their debts
Or working for a penny or poisoning children’s minds mentally
every country had slaves trought history, either you win them by killing their tribe/kingdom or you buy them. This Goes as back as great Egypt period and beyond
I’ve enjoyed listening to your discussion on this subject. Much love from Melbourne, Australia. And I’ve just subscribed thank you!
Love seeing your your minds see the truth, this is just a small taste of the facts.
Watch Thomas Sowell, he discusses this better.

Great work young people! You the could do great things for your generation. KEEP EDUCATING! God bless y'all!
The history of the end of slavery goes even further back in history , to 1066 and the Norman conquest
A person of education at last, William the bastard and the Magna Carta.
yes.. cannot 4recall the quote, wasn't it along the lines of no man shall be enslaved or own them.. something like that. @@mepeterb5456
Much older than that. Slavery is mentioned in Hammurabi's Code which dates back to 1755-1750 BCE.
@@just-a-generic-username Does it mention the end of slavery though?
@@mepeterb5456 Hammurabi's Code? Not to my knowledge.
Alot of the Native Tribes encountered by the European explorers Allied with the Colonists, in order to end the atrocities from other Tribes.
Facts!!
I grew up with 2 black girls whose own father told them not to mess with black men.
Is actually called cognitive dissonance. It's where a core belief is so ingrained that it would cause pain to admit so they deny reality.
Ya'll giving me hope for the younger generations lol. Great video!

Candice Owen's is my Queen. Listen and please educate yourself.
Candice is a lier
My ex-wife and I were together for fourteen years. We lived, worked and travelled in Europe. Owned a house and property in Africa.
We had to go to America to find racism, from both sides, because of our mixed marriage.
maybe im misinterpreting your comment, are you saying Europe is not racist, Africa is not racist, the United States is racist?
@@manraymaHe's saying they didn't personally experience it until they came to America. I hear lots of people say that.
Is that why she is your ex?

nothing people fear more than when you get educated about actual history thanks for this reaction subscribed..
Congratulations on upgrading your knowledge there is hope yet for our country with young minds maturing early likes yours.
Considering what's going on in the west just now, I've total respect for these kids educating themselves on the matter
THIS WOMAN IS VERY BRAVE AND SPEAKS THE TRUTH !
Shows that you learn more from the Internet than you do at the public school system. The public school system, and the government that runs it is to blame for all the wars that we are facing with right now. It’s a vicious cycle.
Since your digging look up "Facts about slavery never mentioned in school" Thomas Sowell, also "the inconvient truth about the democratic party" PragerU and "the inconvient truth about the republican party" PragerU. You might be surprised.
Yes, all three.
God Bless y’all 🙏
GOD bless Candace !!!
bless her heart
My mom is racist and i always hated that about her. I am not that way.
Maybe she has experienced some horrible experience from whom she does not like.
I’ve never been told not to be around anyone based off of their race, but a lot of black ppl are taught that yt ppl are bad which creates racism to yt ppl. It’s horrible, most of our parents as yt ppl taught us inclusion and acceptance of everyone but we get a lot of hate for the misunderstandings of history
Good to see y'all again.
I'm proud of you three youngsters, y'all found the rabbit hole, don't stop till you discover it all... You'll Know when you've arrived when you discover the truth of how Native American Tribes were more then just red skinned..they were really light skinned to red to ruddy brown, to brown all the way to black with kinked and or straight hair!
Also look up the first black slave owner in America...
It will fry your brain!
In fact, here in France we abolished slavery first in... 1794 ! But later a rich creole Woman convinced Napoleon to restaure it...
This old white fourth generation vet who's ancestors fault for the Union under the first Republican president Abraham Lincoln. I really enjoy the fact you are opening your minds. Not only am i a 4th gen vet, my three older brothers served my four uncles, my two great uncles and so forth, going back. I found it interesting what you were taught growing up. I think its important that discussions like this happen. Never be surprised by hurt feelings when critical thinking is required. It is a valuable part of Critical Thinking. It is almost a required part of critical thinking. It is the pain generated by killing our stupid ideas. We can think and dream up some stupid ideas. When we sleep and we are basically paralyzed when we dream, so we dont act out our stupid ideas and kill ourselves. Never be afraid of putting your ideas out there to stand on their own and see if they can stand the challenge of critical thinking, understanding the fact, that is where stupid ideas die, not good ones.
You might find what i was taught by my dad interesting. I ask you to please set aside the narrative the two headed beast called Congress tries to push for a little bit and ask yourself, why the difference at the end. My dad (WW2 vet) dispized racism. He told me you will never see true good or evil, if you cant see past the color of the skin they both hide in. He said, if you place a picture of Lincoln and Hitler next to each other and only see two white men. You are being dangerously foolish. That goes for every race and color. He also said, if you put red and black ants in a glass jar, they will get along fine. If someone shakes the jar, they will think the others are attacking and kill each other. So find the wisdom to look at who is shaking the Jar and why, before going to war with the ones you share society with. I would bet what i was taught would be kind of surprising huh. Remember what i asked you to question? Lol.
I tell you what, go watch both the inconvenient truth of the Democratic party and the inconvenient truth of the Republican party. I would also suggest watching facts about slavery they don't teach in school. Those three alone will generate a lot of critical thinking. If you do in the future. I will fill in facts that will show you things from a different view and things in a whole different light. First if you looked at the main media on TV as grooming, instead of news, again ask why? This all might not make sense now but it will. Enjoyed your reaction and always search for your own Truth and never take anything people tell you as truth, not even me. You verify facts so you find your truth that critical thinking can't kill. So you know what you are or are not backing. Have an amazing night.
Great video! I wish that schools would emphasize this part of history a little more. I’m 33 years old and I keep learning more things now than I ever did when I was in school.
A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest
Thanks!
I don't see any likes or comments from the Dean Bros on any comment in this thread. That leads me to believe they are only here for the views, comments, etc. to make UA-cam money. So, my question to them is, what conversations have you had with your Bruthas and Sistas since watching this? And in the unlikely event you did have those conversations, how did they go??
Thomas Sowell has a fantastic video on the history of slavery. If you all have not watched it yet, please do. You don't even have to do a reaction video. Just watch and listen when you have time.
You three are awesome!! ❤
If we could just start seeing each other as a race of human beings and not as skin color everything would be different. Stop hating each other and start embracing each other and learn from each other.
Reminder , not everyone is racist
Truth can be a hard pill to swallow.
Thank GOD for Candace Owens and Thomas Sowell.
The truth hurts sometimes. 🙏

I love how people never mention the first owner of a black slave in America was a black man Anthony Johnson. and at the height of black slavery in America its estimated 13% of slave owners were black people.
many ppl forget that africa wasnt a unified country back then it was ruled by kings & warlords that would swagger over and enslave their neighbours so great to see ppl digging deeper on this subject
Sweden got rid of slavery already in 1335 but some people in our few colonies did partake to a small degree in the trans Atlantic slave trade because it was hard for the crown to police them.
Some smart kids, keep researching, don’t trust the mainstream sources. One love!
Instead of listening to your teachers and reading the history books in our schools you need to learn the real history and it is available all you have to do is seek it out
Whte ppl did not invent slavery and yes England ended slavery and this country followed.
UK lad not England haha
White men, the English and USA Navy, actually fought a War with North African Kings to END the Atlantic Slave Trade.
it is a shame that these 3 people did not understand what they were being told, they treat it as a joke.
They are young people and at least they have an open mind. Give it a rest!
Do the research because Candice is right
Candice who?
Candi is right we in Europe lern that in 1-5 grade ... but much more content...
I’m of Native American descent and look what happened to our tribes and land
You three give me hope for the future
I also appreciate your open mindednes and willingnes to learn and accept the truth. I dont know how to fix the problem we face moving forward but i know people like you are part of the solution

Are Race and Culture different? Which one has more influence on society?
Candace Owen is brilliant and whether your teacher believes it or not Candace is speaking the truth!
Watch "The British Crusade Against Slavery"......
Oh, another thing that no one talks about is the other slave trade that went on at the same time as the Atlantic slave trade.
That is the Eastern slave trade that dealt primarily in the Middle East.
It was even more barbaric.
Ever wonder why you don't hear about the decendants of those slaves?
There aren't any.
Cause almost every man taken in that trade was castrated upon sale.
Guys, you do know slavery existed before boats were invented right?
The slave trade was full scale in africa before europeans got there. 😅
Slavery still exist in Africa.
Well think about this. A slave cost more than a mule. A mule was a tool used to work. Would you beat a mule to to the point that it could not work, or would you take care of it to get the most out of it? There was a language barrier and at times it was cruel, I'm not disputing that. But story's do grow over time to inhance the story.
In 1830, there were 3,775 black (including mixed-race) slaveholders in the South who owned a total of 12,760 slaves, which was a small percentage of a total of over two million slaves then held in the South. 80% of the black slaveholders were located in Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland
We don't fear. I love, that's it.
If you want to know about the end of slavery then you have to look up an Englishman named “Granville Sharpe”, he was a taylor and a layman from Leeds in England and he brought a famous court case in England after he helped an American black slave get free, his name was John Somerset. The judgment of the case was “ No slave can be in England and breath the free air”. Meaning that any slave making it to England was automatically Free! It’s a very interesting case, look it up!!! 😁👍
Nobody who actually thinks rationally would be prejudice of color because of a bad encounter or experience. The problem isn't about race, it's about irrational thought.
All three of you need to read the book "To kill a mockingbird' and listen to Addicus Finch.
It got quiet towards the end there, didn't it. See things for how they really are ...
You guys might like to check out David Barton’s “American History in Black and White” sometime. :)
Slavery is still occurring in Africa now! Mali, Mauritania, Libya.
It bothers me that our young people don't know this. It's not a secret. And they have the internet to research this. How is this not common knowledge?
You're welcome.
Thanks for posting this video, Dean Bros. Appreciate your comments during your reaction to the video. Candace Owens and PragerU are trying to educate America and the world about TRUE History, not WOKE History. Keep the Faith and Fire. God Bless.

And you´ve been blamed us whites all these years.
Racism is fading fast its much less than when I was younger. My grandkids and nieces and nephews don't see color at all. Movies like Blazing Saddles and television like All in the Family educated millions
its kind of true we uk resadents changed the word slavary to indenturement......It was only after many failed attempts that, in 1807, the slave trade in the British Empire was abolished.......convict ship Hougoumont
On 9 January 1868 the convict ship Hougoumont arrived at the port of Fremantle in Western Australia
Some people just think that they are better than anyone else. I look at it like no one is better than me, and I'm not better than someone on drugs. We are all the same in GODS eyes.
You youngins are a breath of fresh air. I'm curious about your folks. You all have open and fair minds. You guys are Aces. Keep it up. You gotta remember about Europeans and their ability to travel in Africa. There was one reason and one reason alone you can guarantee they didn't go into the interior. MALARIA.
Keep it up
Candce!!!!!!!!!
Gotta remember slaves were considered expensive property, so you would take the healthiest ones.
Even if you stopped doing something, that doesn't excuse what you stopped doing.
Acts 3:19 "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,"
That applies to just about EVERY race.
As the races mix, real racism is fading away. These kids haven't seen real racism like there was back in the day.
It's on life support by Al Sharton, Jesse Jackson, and many in progressives in Congress.
Also.worth researching are the papers of the Founders meetings where they agonized on how to free the slaves without them starving etc. People dont realize that between the revolutionary and civil wars the population was decimated, our econimy was nearly non existent. In sone waysceveryine was deprndent on each other.
there is not as much racism as people think most people will talk about it to advance.an agenda I for one am not racist you might not think so, to, look at me but I grew up in the 70s.and in my experience we all got along much better we did not have the internet to trash people without consequences we talked face to face and learned more about who we were talking to; just my experience Love you, all good to see you want to know more bwt I live in Florida too
The way of considering skin color in the US is very particular. It seems interesting to me to go back to the sources. Slavery is an almost universal human practice and perhaps as old as humanity. It consists of considering “the other” as someone who is not my fellow man, a cheap human, or even not a human at all.
The mental revolution produced by the Enlightenment, especially in France, but also in this case in Great Britain, is fundamental: all human beings are equal in rights! The French Revolution of 1789 therefore logically led to the abolition of slavery in 1794, immediately followed by Denmark. Even if Napoleon reverses this decision, the seed is planted.
But here is where I am coming from: if in fact the slaves were blacks and the slaveholders were whites, in the minds of the French, Danish or English abolitionists, they did not act as whites towards blacks, but as Humans towards other Humans. This is the whole meaning of the universalism of the Enlightenment, which still leads current France to prohibit the very notion of races.
Well said.
Great Britain continued to support the Confederacy, the slave holding system during the civil war, because of COTTON!! Brits needed cotton for their textiles, in which whole families slaved to produce their products. Don't sugar coat, tell the facts as mostly but not entirely true as Candace is! Their are a couple things she got wrong. For one the first to legally abolish slavery was MEXICO! Not France or England. In fact France only stopped it because the Haitians kicked their ass!
