I will never understand slavery in America and how people are so quick to dismiss it as just "something " we need to forget about. This was a heinous crime that spanned over generations
Your aware that slavery was not only in USA but also in other countries. The Arabs did worse things to slaves. Yet your complaining about usas slavery.
Then you are aware that if the horrible transatlantic slave trade had not occurred, no black living in the United States today would be alive? I know through genealogy that my ancestors lost their lives in brutal ways, but it's not something I go around thinking about or being angry at certain countries just because some rich old men from those countries sent poor young men to kill my ancestors. It's history and I probably wouldn't be alive if it hadn't happened. It looks the same today as rich old men sit safely on their ivory thrones and send poor young men to die in pointless wars so the rich can get even richer.
@@dontfuckingcry1965You are aware that Black people discussing their own history is our own business and it shouldn't make you feel any kind of way since YOU had nothing to do with it nor should it require any useless commentary from you about your ancestors.
I'm literally finding relatives I never knew existed because of slavery. I will be meeting everyone July 27th. I'm so excited because 2 of them I exactly went to college with and never knew it. Yall stay blessed.
@@Beatrichay my larger point is that anything that portrays slavery as the evil that it was/is, or it’s fundamental role in the development of the United States is banned from being taught in some deep-red states.
Jeremiah 50:7 AMP All who found them have devoured them; And their adversaries have said, ‘We are not guilty, Because they have sinned against the LORD [and are no longer holy to Him], their [true] habitation of righteousness and justice, Even the LORD, the [confident] hope of their fathers.’ Zechariah 11:5 RSV Those who buy them slay them and go unpunished; and those who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD, I have become rich'; and their own shepherds have no pity on them. Zechariah 1:15 TLB I am very angry with the heathen nations sitting around at ease, for I was only a little displeased with my people, but the nations afflicted them far beyond my intentions.'
Exodus 21:20-21 (NIV): "Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property." Leviticus 25:44-46 (NIV): "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly." Clearly your Lord was ok with slaves.

The biggest problem was that they had the majority accept it, who worked against the one that would not accept it. That the behavior is still going on today, all because the church tells everyone money is the answer to everything that can wipe things away. For real, I can't tell.
🇪🇺🇬🇷👋 I have seen this movie... For me cure for racism and hate Is good food I value food above Torturing others for fun My fun is food Food i am ok All good Although i have little % racism in me but little only...below average racist white 🙏🙏👑👋
@@rasheed7934 yes of course, but the movie went pretty big so the story got pretty wide spread.. the story is not untold now that millions have seen the atrocities he went through on screen, is what I meant.
Why did you just describe one of the most famous movies as "an unknown story"? Why did you not also tell the truth - that he was not a laborer when he was freed from Epps' plantation. He was bought to be an Overseer. The day this man was freed, he was found sitting on the back of a horse with a whip in his hand. His master even held a goodbye for him. Strange that you would leave out these crucial details
He was born by people who were not slaves. Not all black people are slaves. Thus he is a free born. A black baby who didn't come from a plantation but from to black parents who were married and in love. Not hard to get.

You notice the first comment to you was a "whatabout". This is all they know to do.
Although Solomon's story is tragic it's a great lesson to beware of what's dangled in front of us. Everything that glitters ain't gold.
Definitely a lesson in trusting the ghost faces.
Yep, and his first mistake was trusting them and thinking they were honest men, not kidnappers. especially when it comes to black-and-white.
GETTING TOO RELAXED AT ANYTIME,DAY,AGE, KNOWING YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES ON ALL SIDES, ✔️ TRUST NONE LITERALLY ✔️ STAY DANGEROUS✔️

This movie is banned in Florida schools bc it accurately portrays American history. I genuinely wish I was joking.
I'm not American, and I know the rating system is stricter in my country, but should this movie be shown to minors? It shows violence and rape.

The Real US racist history.
That’s a funny joke. Learn about history first.
4 years after the book was released. Solomon disappeared... his death is a mystery 😢.
I’m 30 years old just now hearing this story for the first time smh
UA-cam THE BOOK. It's hard to hear but very detailed
Jeremiah 50:7 AMP
All who found them have devoured them; And their adversaries have said, ‘We are not guilty, Because they have sinned against the LORD [and are no longer holy to Him], their [true] habitation of righteousness and justice, Even the LORD, the [confident] hope of their fathers.’
Zechariah 11:5 RSV
Those who buy them slay them and go unpunished; and those who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD, I have become rich'; and their own shepherds have no pity on them.
Zechariah 1:15 TLB
I am very angry with the heathen nations sitting around at ease, for I was only a little displeased with my people, but the nations afflicted them far beyond my intentions.'

The slave system sounds like the prison system in america today. I know about some black men being treated like Solomon i america's prisons.
All of them knew he could read yet they didnt care
What’s with the automatic gun??
Thanks
He definitely wasn't a good man if he owned slaves🤨
This is one of the million reasons we want reparations. The government played 95% of the abuse of my people.

It may be unknown to some.

12 years a slave, is one of the best comedies ever. Shit is hilarious
You are a sad soul less thing, and may you have a reminder of your statement as a bad day you deserve.
