The Portuguese Lie : The Fall of African Kingdoms
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 кві 2024
- Many historical texts on the slave trade primarily focus on the 18th and 19th centuries, highlighting this era as the peak of the slave trade in Africa. However, this perspective often overlooks the earlier, aggressive tactics used by European slave traders in the 16th and 17th centuries. During these earlier centuries, Europeans, specifically the Portuguese, actively undermined African leadership-toppling resistant kings and elites while installing compliant, corrupt figures.
This approach created a misleading narrative, suggesting that Africa willingly sold its own people, which ignores the brutal measures Europeans employed to dismantle thriving African empires and quash any opposition.

So, in other words, nothing has changed in over 500 years. That is what's happening in Africa currently. This is why every Black person globally needs to learn the true history of our Race, so that we can wake up and break the cycle of our oppression.✊🏿🔥
And what is strange is that in the Portuguese and Brazilian Encyclopaedia, the article "Slave trade" begins with a refutation: "It is not true that Portugal started the slave trade". But who started it? Portugal is incapable of recognising and assuming its very bad past deeds towards Africans. Strange indeed!
Dante Fortson channel has source link for 11th to 18the centuries books that disclosed everything about Portugal, Spain, France, Netherlands, UK, the Americas slave trade.
Not at all. We know the motivation of the people who write most of those articles. Wikipedia has no merit when it comes to world history.
Those conquerors are still the same people. They haven't changed at all. They're just the ones on top now, so now they're constantly on full defense mode- thinking that the Africans want revenge.
They will never change. Their tricks have been modified to fit modern times. Motivations remain the same.
@HistoriaAfricana their tricks have barely changed though. They haven't been able to come up with too many original strategies in their own. We should be ahead of this... thank you for your content and sharing it, because you did a beautiful job here.
Africans should get revenge; But our revenge will be us working together, doing business with each other, and defending each other, and uniting with our Brothers and Sisters in the diaspora. ✊🏿🔥
@@HistoriaAfricana there wasn't any so called African Kingdoms Destroyed but there was Israel Kingdoms that was destroyed..
Joel 3
King James Version
3 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath spoken it.
9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.
12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion. two African nations sold the Israelites of Israel in slavery not Africans... no one is talking about the Sub Sharan slave trade?? the Northern Kingdom of Israel...
Do not take the low view count as a sign that people are not interested in this history. It takes a STRONG person to know the truth, and an even stronger person to endure it.
God bless your hearts.
Thanks for commenting. The message will get out there one day.
I am from Congo and speak kikongo. Thanks for this video. Europe, and Portugal in particular, eally destroyed African opportunities in many ways. Sad!
The British and French done more damage to Africa than the Portuguese
You don't lay down and give up. Take your country and resources from these 👿👿👿👿Act like Niger Burkina Faso and Mali, fight💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Absolutely. They killed off resistant African kings and replaced them with puppets. Same thing happening now. Lumumba, Nkrumah etc replaced by incompetent leaders. Same blueprint, different time periods. The similarities are striking indeed. I love the people of Congo by the way.
Yes, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, and a number of other European nations certainty was responsible for Africa being conquered, but lets face facts. There's no way in hell Africa would have been conquered the way it was if it wasn't for tribalism and sellouts. I know it's a bitter pill to swallow, but it's the truth. Our ancestors in the 14th-18th century was fighting each other in Africa. Many of these tribes still don't get alone even to this day. These tribes did not really get alone at all. If you look at how African civilizations whether it was Nubia/Kemet, Mali/Songhai, Zulu Kingdoms, and many other African kingdoms in between, they all ended very similar. We need to acknowledge that. I've said this time and time again, it's good to study our ancestors glory, but we also need to learn from our ancestors mistakes so we don't make the same mistakes again. Otherwise, it's just Africa sick of being abused and blowing off steam, but the cycle continues. And by no means, it's no disrespect whatsoever. I want Blacks worldwide to unify. If not, it's going to be the same sh*t, and business as usual for the European!!!!! FBA all the way, everyday🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!!!!! Yera💧.
All that led to the fall of Portugal and the country never recovered. And left Africa in disarray 😮😢😮
Historia Africana- very important commentary that helps to further explain what happened during the transition interplay from Islam’s trans Saharan slave trading and European Christian organized and led trans-Atlantic slave trading, after Christianity’s ascendancy against Islam’s imperial domination in Western Asia, North Africa, and parts of southern Europe.
Very important approach to the incomplete discussion on the question about the nature of agency and who initiated the Christian European human trafficking as a criminal enterprise between Africa and the Americas, why? Agency is not a random phenomenon.
Agency requires cause and purpose, rationale, means and function. One cause was the persecution of blacks in Europe, all of whom who were deemed to be Saracens. One rationale is the contrived ‘Biblical Curse of Ham and his descendants’. Recall that Ham, Nimrod, Cush, Mizraim, and others were once leaders of civilization in the world. One function was the economic need for labour in expanding colonies in the Americas.
None of these would have undergirded African agency in enslaving other Africans until Eurasian versions of Islam and Christianity in west Africa. Roman Catholic Popes were learned men of global power and purpose. They knowingly wrote those papal bulls in opposition to Biblical conceptions of the nature of humanity and, to create a specific kind of consciousness in the minds of Europeans.
Therefore, initiation of Christian European agency in the transatlantic slave project was not a mere accident of history.
It is more than a supposition; it is an invalid supposition that Africans had primacy of agency in the transatlantic schemes of human trafficking, when the chronology of evidence of human presence in the Americas include that Africans were in the Americas, many centuries before 1500 CE.
Where is the evidence that Africans brought other Africans to the Americans as slaves? No transatlantic slave trade and chattel slavery in the Americas would have happened without European engineering in Africa and without European Christian programmes of colonisation of lands in the Americas.
This would beg the obvious question. What would Africans have brought other Africans to the Americas to do? Also, recall that native Indians in the Americas were enslaved first. It was only after their numbers were decimated by their European Christian enslavers, and some colonies such as Cuba appeared to be on the brink of collapse that that the black enslavement project took its very sinister turn.
Specific efforts began to bring blacks from Europe and north Africa and later from the lower west coast of Africa, now took on definitive cause and purpose. No doubt this was encouraged by the defeat of the Moors in Iberia just before 1500 CE.
In fighting and jostling for power is still the toxic ingredients undermining the peace and stability of many countries.
To this very day. Truth!

They learned about the wealth of Africa from the Moors who taught the Portuguese civilization and science
I was born and raised in Portugal and i can tell you this is very true. Till today africans are seen as sub-category type of people there. They still have a very colonial mindset when it comes to us. And in School none of this is showed like this. It is portrait as trading commerce, thats all. Sure there was some slavery but the main purpose was to Trade merchandise and to exchange culture, and to "spread the Lord's word"
Thanks for sharing the truth.
They deny but for the same reason they built Fort Jesus in Mombasa,Kenya.
2 brothers Esau - Jacob ?
I’m interested in if you could make a video about alleged black Jews of Spain and Portugal deported to Africa and then sold into slavery . I wonder if this is real or just myth
