After participating in slavery yourself
@@MidlifeCrisisJoeCorrect. That's the reason for socialism. Because some people can't stand that others have more than they
Civilize {temporarily} in some sad cases...
I guess the barbary pirates are not part of their story
Or the NGOs that are currently ferrying thousands of africans across the Med to be exploited by billionnaires.
It's an integral part of the Navy and Marine corps history 😅😅
They actively celebrate them. ANd it's not even an exaggeration. Since they enslaved the evil whites, they're considered "kinda good" by many on the left (and absolute heroes by North Africans and muslims)
No no they don't count because they were diverse.
@@AlanGresov Well, if you don't descend from that story, you won't focus on it. Jews talk about their genocide, not the Armenian one.
It makes my upper lip quiver with annoyance that the narative is "white bad" with slavery.
Worst slavers were none white, the present day slavers are none white.
some are hebrews, as well.
They're mostly mus lim if memory serves.
And most slavers weren't white
That's why they push that narrative so hard, pure racial hatred of white people.
well remember to tell them that when they become the majority
In my country, Maori had intertribal warfare, slavery and cannibalism before whitey arrived.
The Left:
[[[crickets]]]
They would still have those things if the Whities didn't come. Look what you stole from them. All that tasty long pork.
They drove to extinction lots of the local fauna as well
Left "You don't know what you're talking about BIGOT!"
They try to glorify Aboriginal rituals and customs -- completely leaving out the "why" of why most of these rituals and customs existed.
"Envy was once considered to be one of the seven deadly sins before it became one of the most admired under it's new name, "social justice."
Thomas Sowell.
Karl Marx was just a lazy bastards unwilling to work for his own living… who wrote a treatise on why people like him actually had value…
Marxism is nothing but the elevation of envy, greed and hatred into a political philosophy… like Labour/Democrats.
If we gaine .5% from the slave trade, and spent 40% of GDP on paying off slave holders, then the idea that slavery was profitable to Britain is nonsense.
Got to think the Arab Muslims profited greatly from slavery. The same group the DEI indoctrinated students are now aligning with.
There were Mexican-Americans who fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War, but people are only taught the part about them being oppressed.
Yeah, I think one of the highest ranking officers (or general) was a Mexican American.
And many black ex-slaves, surprisingly. During the Wilderness campaign, black Union troops even faced black Confederate troops to the bemusement of both.
All kinds of people fought voluntarily for the South.
The North had to invent a draft.
And native Americans still had slaves after the civil war. That's the fault of the white-man, I'm assuming
The Confederacy also had a draft. Both militaries were diverse.
Fun fact: The world owes the UK 7 quintillion for uplifting it with our own home grown tech bringing them into the modern age.
What you thought you could only demand the bad stuff be paid retroactively?
amazing idea lol
I wonder what they owe the US for what we made, what lives were lost for them, and what they destroyed of ours? Easily in the trillions to start...
I wonder what the US is owed from these ingrates as well?
@@tokamara8795 Oh brother, the fees alone on protection would be astronomical.
The secret: almost everyone's ancestors were slaves at one point. There are STILL slaves in many African countries and China, but that's much harder to solve than crying about muh pre civil war American slavery
Also in the Gulf States.
You're mistaking maliciousness for laziness. They want free gibs and they don't get that by advocating Africa give up slavery. They get it through tantrums and violence against good natured people who had nothing to do with the past and never benefitted despite the lies.
whitey solved the problem though. 🙄
My Danish ancestors once owned my British ancestors, who once owned my Scottish ancestors. And my Slavic ancestors were so infamously owned that we named the status after them.
The biggest con ever was pinning slavery on whites, even though slavery was ubiquitous till Brits abolished it _and forced everybody else to do the same._
Cynically, there's about twice as much slavery now as during the height of slavery, if you include debt slaves, it's probably 4 to 5 times more.
Nobody bats an eye, because it doesn't advance the anti-racist agenda.
I will not be shamed by slavers, invaders, thieves, nor crooks.
Cool it with the antisemitism.
British Colonialism is bad busted in a few words. Rhodesia (British), safe, secure, fed, profitable for all, exports, living standard raised for all. Zimbabwe; crime, starvation, poverty, chaos, death by gang, rape, corruption, basket case failed state
Don't forget the AIDS epidemic in Zimbabwe!
We owe them nothing. If they want money, they can bloody well get a job and earn it.
Between welfare and affirmative action and dozens of government programs, haven't we already spent billions on this issue since the 1960s alone? And the number just keeps climbing higher and higher.
@@phonepunk7888and it’s gonna continue to climb.
They’re the left’s golden goose.
They owe us.
And we damn well need to collect what we’re owed.
I'm annoyed that we feel the need to set the record straight on slavery at all. We had nothing to do with slavery. Our ancestors didn't enslave people. Very few people owned slaves. More black people did than white people.
In the US, one of the most infamously cruel owners was a freed man
Arabs played the largest role next to some African tribal leaders, but yeah that all goes against their "white man bad" narrative. (And some African & MEastern countries still enslave ppl)
In USA less than 10% owned slaves! 80% of the people in USA colonies in the 1600s and 1700s were indentured. In the Caribbean in the 1600s there were more Irish slaves than black. At one time the largest slave owner in South Carolina was a black man. In New Orleans a black woman was the largest slave owner.
@@robertbeisert3315 but still the majority where what? and even when slavery was abolished what happened? rapes, lynching and segregation all after slavery!!
The triangular trade was predominantly white, and more than 10% of Americans supported slave trading and had their livelihoods tied up in supporting trades. The only reason Europeans were somewhat different was because Christians could not enslave a brother, and different priests argued for or against heathen slavery (a good incentive to be Christian). This meant there was a lull between the Roman and Viking slave trades and the industrial ones. But also by the time they resumed the American demand so depopulated (in slaves and war for slaves) Africa that it has not resumed development nor recovered to this day.
No one ever mentions that slavery exists in Africa TO THIS DAY. Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan Ghana, Benin, Togo and Nigeria to just name a majority.
More than 20 million slaves right now in the world. Nobody talks about those, only about the white slave trade long ago.
I remember in middle school a teacher earnestly explaining that African slavery was sooooo different than American slavery, and it was more of an opportunity for POWs to be incorporated into the tribe. I was only 13, but even then I could tell she was full of it
yep, unlike the american slaves, that incorporated into the tribe today. but yes, there was a major difference between those two 'incorporating' slavery. one lead to citizenry in one of the most powerful country on earth, the other lead you to a different african shithole.
I once had a sociology teacher in high school try to tell the entire class that humans don't have instincts anymore and that's why we need sociology to inform the laws, which then dictate morality. If that's true, then what do you call a libido? A sexuality? A thought? Are thoughts not, in and of themselves, instincts being played out through the conscious mind? What do you call a conscience, the urge not to do something horrible to someone else although wider society informs you that it's a good thing, like how Nazi propaganda socially conditioned Germans to celebrate "purging" undesirable populations? Is that conscience not a type of instinct, informed by the biology which makes us social creatures?
Anyway, she lost it simply because she got challenged and shut down an entire classroom discussion bc she couldn't handle her interpretation of her own college degree being entirely dismantled by a barely above-average IQ class of 16 year old nobodies. I think that some people are drawn to teaching because they're so ideologically motivated that they can only feel the happy chemicals when they recruit others into thinking like them, so when that's denied by reality then they get VERY irrational and upset. 😂 She definitely was very smart, but also very dogmatic.
That's just one example of how some ideas are so absurd that only a very intelligent person could rationalize it well enough to make any lick of sense.
"They weren't selling us their best." -Callum J. Trump
lel
literally selling their worst. They were defeated tribes by other African tribes. The men were weaker than the conquering tribes and those were the ones who made it across the Atlantic.
Got to struggle with that one. Really want to laugh.
"They stole all of our cowrie shells!" -Carl
England spent about 5% of its GDP to wipe out Slavery which is 10 times more than what they profited from it, while they had grinding Poverty and serious Social Pathologies at Home to deal with yet still made such an extraordinary effort to end Slavery.
Spot on - and of course we were enslaved under feudal serfdom for 350 years by the french speaking Normans who stole 97% of our land -- but none of that counts of course - we're always the baddies
And they still can't spend 2% of their GDP on their defense budget like they're required to do to be a member of NATO and continue to mooch off the USA protecting them. Remarkable.
@@philipfreyaborn8288 if you had crazies in britain like we do in the states they'd be advocating for all of you to leave so the scots can have the entire island due to them not being colonized by the romans and thus being the rightful heirs of the island. all of the wars that have been fought, all the treaties that have been signed, all the economic and military partnerships between the countries should just be etch-a-sketch'd because "stolen land." that's what the morons in the US are screeching about when they cry stolen land.
It'll never be enough as long as we have people willing to shell out taxes to grifters.
Being a slave in what became America resulted in a 10-15 year greater life expectancy. Slavery was terrible, the Africa they came from was arguably worse. There's a reason Harriet Tubman encountered many slaves that didn't want to be freed.
slavery was bad, yes. but the depiction of slavery in the US is a lot different than the historical records of what happened. the white guilt pop culture representation is that slaves were constantly beaten and tortured for entertainment. slaves were PROHIBITIVELY expensive. only 5% of the population of the US ever owned slaves. Fewer if you only count the confederacy. which means even in the south before the civil war slavery was relatively rare. slaves were something only the extremely wealthy could afford. if you get a new ferrari to show off to all the poors around you for status, you're not going to destroy it for no reason. that doesn't make any sense.
side note; due to slaves being something only the rich could afford, many slaves had nicer clothing and ate better than the average american in the south at the time. i'm not making the claim that was the experience of everyone, or even most. just that if a slave was expected to do duties inside the house or run errands / be seen for their master than their appearance would have been a reflection of their owner. and given that only the rich people had them.. that means it was another way to show off.
@@jishani1Thank you for posting this.
Slave owners, I’m sure, regarded slaves as assets for their businesses and domestic arrangements. It would make little sense to treat them so badly that they were unable to fulfill the purpose that the owners had spent time, effort and (above all) money on.
Those who were brought to America were the lucky few. Most went to Brazil where the conditions were far worse. I recall the life expectancy of a slave in Brazil could be as low as 7 years.
@@alexanderharoldsen4178 Yeah, Brazil being significantly closer and across an easier portion of the Atlantic to cross meant the cost of obtaining slaves was much cheaper. The result was the Portuguese colonies in Brazil brought almost only adult males and then worked them to death.
By 1870, the population of blacks in the US had grown to over 10 times the number that had ever been brought across as slaves.
By 1872, the black population in Brazil was less than half of what was brought over and the mixed population was roughly equal (though that portion of the population was classified only as mixed, as opposed to white or black, and so undoubtedly some portion would have been natives or a mix of white and natives).
Best response to being accused of slavery: We paid our part of the debt in lives and blood. How about your side?
In the case of America, most Unionists didn't care about slavery until the very end of the war, when stories of the atrocities of slavery became public knowledge thanks to Union soldiers raiding plantations. In the case of Britain, however, they took it as their divine duty to get rid of slavery worldwide, and they were very effective in that pursuit
no you didcn and to this day your coutnry is expliintg third world.as per white eslavers afrians dotn have troubles with russia or serbs or greeks just you anglo andf french expliters.
@@filmandfirearms "divine duty" that sure is an odd way of saying they wanted to throw their weight around to reduce the amount of free money france and the US were generating from it. france filled haiti with more slaves than were ever sent to north america and it was a tobacco and sugarcane plantation. at that point in history, haiti generated the most wealth of any piece of land on the planet. and it was all free money to the french farmed by slaves.
im sure the british history with the french had no influence whatsoever over that divine duty.
@@jishani1 Considering how often the British and the French fought over far less, how come the British never just declared war and took Haiti? They had the military might to do it and France certainly didn't care enough to defend it after the slave revolt. The Americans put more effort into taking Haiti back than the French did. Regarding the American slave trade, Britain started working to abolish slavery globally around the same time that abolition was taking hold in America. Why risk men and material to accomplish something the Americans are already doing themselves? In fact, it was quite the opposite, they actually supported the Confederacy thanks to the cotton trade, though they went to great lengths to conceal the fact that the Rebs were fighting for slavery specifically because they knew the British public would be outraged at Britain sending military aid to a slave nation
@@jishani1doesn't change the fact that anti-slavery sentiment was very prominent in England for non-political reasons. It's well documented that average people all celebrated the exploits of the West Indies Squadron in raiding slave ships.
Who owned the most slave ships? Why not go after them? 🤔
That would be antisemitic my friend.
@@herbiehusker1889 so it seems, so it seems... 😏
We all nose why.
@@herbiehusker1889it really wouldn't, since Jews owned between 0.8% and 1% of Slaves in north America throughout slavery there. It would be stupid and antisemitic to believe that in times of British/Dutch/Spanish control of the slave trade Jews played some sort of significant role in it.
@herbiehusker1889 hardly considering the biggest shippers of slaves were Spain & Portugal where the Jews were kicked out at about the same time as the slave trade was getting under way in those countries ( a good portion of who ended up here kickstarting our tradition of accepting refugees into the country )
"18 trillion pounds." Lies, damned lies and statistics.
And African politicians.
It is absolutely nonsense.. However, the modern western world alone have given trillions in charity to African, middle eastern and south Asian countries since the mid 1900s
Whatever money they think they are owed have been paid in charity a long long time ago. They've just been extremely inefficient in the usage of those funds.
How much of that should be shared with the Islamic Arabs who were happily profiting from slavery decades prior and decades after Europeans.
I once stubbed my toe on a coffee table and now demand 2 trillion pounds of historical reparations from Oak Furnitureland.
no one ever talks about reparation's for railways buildings and infrastructure invested by the empire which , when they became independent never paid for they were gifted , and then the trillions of pounds in "aid" over the last fifty to seventy years
there would be NO tea plantations currently being owned by billionaire Indian families as tea is not native to India
if you demand payments for stuff that never happened to you then we expect the same
Reservations was being left to live.
Yeah, it's funny how important the infrastructure still is to India. They act like they got nothing out of the deal and were just robbed. I guarantee that India would be much worse off today if they were never colonized.
No no, you’re approaching this way too objectively. Gibs reparay shuns. No questions
you can deduce that from losses india suffered and you will be stil tens of trillions in debt. youy buildign as well as building of other colonsiers were used for beter exploition of people livingthere not cause you cared.
@@himpim642you need to speak to a few more Indians. To my surprise, many preferred the British in charge. Safety, law and infrastructure being the primary reasons given.
"Trading slaves for the stuff you would see in a tourist shop"

"What did the white man ever do for us?"
Nothing except uplift us and modernise our way of life
Oh, the UN has words? As a black American, I can tell them where to put that 18 Trillion.
Send the bill to the Islamic Arabs who our DEI indoctrinated students are aligning themselves with? Islamic Arabs who were profiting from slavery well before and decades after Europe and America?
they owe us, for all the muggings in the UK,......
have you been mugged?
Na lets start with the amount of money Indian call centers have scammed out of the world population.
I was mugged 6 times as a teenager in London. Every time by black gangs. On the 5th occasion I was a little fed up and when the Police asked me to describe the individuals I said “black, of course!” The Police said “you can’t say that” and this was prior to the PC/woke era! 🤦♂️
heck,deduce that ffrom tirlions you country stole aroudn the world.
& all the other heinous stuff they seem to do
There was a black man arguing for reparations in California who decided that every individual black person was owed an absolutely mental amount of money. Tens or hundreds of millions. He arrived at the figure by the idea that freed slaves after the Civil War were promised 40 acres, and then calculated the value of 40 acres of ~prime real estate in current day downtown San Francisco!~
The irony is they could give every basketball American 1 million dollars and within 3 months they’ll be where they started and demanding more.
Looters gotta loot
I actually think we should give every family provably descended from slaves, 40 acres and a mule to split between descendants. Those 40 acres can be in the Alaskan wilderness, Puerto Rico, wherever, we have land we can’t make use of (perhaps buy green land like Trump was going to and give them their 40 acres there.) then we can have a buy back program where we buy the land from them for $100/ acre.
Let see how many keep their 40 acres and mule.
Wasn't that only a Texas thing?
So we stole the technology of the stick, the mud hut and burning dung for fuel???
You failed to mention building huts out of cow dung. Watched the Hodge Twins ( they are partially black) show how in Africa some tribes use cow dung and mud to braid their hair and make it shiny. Then they stand under a cow as it urinates to rinse the hair. They showed actual video of tribe members doing that. They put out funny videos and laugh at the woke people say.
@@rosebronikowski2022 - OMG I think I'm going to be sick.
I'm with Callum. Whenever someone pop out a figure like this my first response is; show your workings, your data and your assumptions.
Reparations is based on blood guilt (guilty of being a descendant of a perpetrator).
Blood guilt is part and parcel of voodoo and witch craft.
"You're guilty because your ancestor committed a sin, and you will always be guilty as will your own descendants, because there is no propitiation for sin."
Hebrew blood magic is still very prominent. see Brit Milah and the Talmund's statement on the Mohel for the procedure. no wonder reparations are called for.
Sounds like original sin.
Also the same concept as original sin and blood libel. These are all mystical versions of inherited debt. When people bring this stuff up, just ask them if they'd like to inherit the debts of *their* fathers?
Slavery, like cheap labour, undercut the already poor wages of the manual workers of Britain and Europe.
Like outsourcing
Not really, the European manual workers were in Europe, while the African slaves were shipped to America and the West Indies where they grew cotton, tabaco and sugar. At the same time this started the trade in cotton which made Manchester rich but don't get it out of proportion, England was already wealthy from woollen textiles using home grown wool. So the English workers now had extra employment and the slave did not steal their jobs or undercut them.
@@user-sx4zo1eu9bmill work was like indentured labour, long hours for pittance wages, families ripped open, the lads over 13 living with the father whilst the mother was with the other children in a workhouse. Also of interest is the story of the Irish in Jamaica and the Caribbean, Cromwell's big plan.
@@wobblybobengland

Destroyed our cotton industry basically. Globalist 19th century Britain. Now going on 2.0
When talking about technology, all these people do is play weasel games. They find some female or black person with a patent on something, even if it wasn't the 1st patent or if it wasn't ever made into a usable product, and use that as proof that it was invented by a female or black person. Or the other weasel tactic, 1 person out of a team of 10+ were female or black, therefore it's now a female or black invention. And then the last weasel tactic, at some point down the road a female or black person worked on an improved version of the initial invention.
Same with a lot of female inventors.
Monsieur Curie is easily demonstrated as the brains of their marriage.
Miss Earhart didn't seem to do any of the flying.
Ada Lovelace published code written by Babbage as her own, and we still have the originals as far as I know.

@@itermercator114 gave WHO the idea. The fact comments think that all of Africa is the same is incredible. There was and is more genetic and cultural and language diversity than all of Europe. There were wealthy, sophisticated kingdoms before Europe arrived
@@scorchedearth4248 A midwit comment. There were many sophisticsted wealthy kingdoms in Africa before Europe.
@ramadamming8498 built on slaves and human sacrifice, rich with gold mined by slaves, which prompty collapsed once their massive slave trade was stopped.
I think demanding reparations is about being able to play the victim
"blacks turned out to be a horrible investment" LOL. true though.
It is commonly said, that an African tribesman will spend a good part of a day to obtain a branch from which to fashion a tool. After he makes and uses that tool, he will then discard it. The next day, when he needs that same tool, he will spend a good part of the day searching for the appropriate branch from which to fashion a tool ... and the cycle contains to repeat.
The same people who demand reparations are the same people who don’t understand the function of zeros.
As a Swede, i don't recall there ever being any real shame about our imperial/colonial past in school. Of course, the only colony Sweden ever had was a tiny area of west african coast which we had for like 10 years and then lost it. Even when talking about when Sweden was a fairly large empire, owning basically everything touching the baltic sea, that wasn't ever really taught as negative.
why should it? 🙄
We also didn’t have Marxist teachers telling us we were evil for being English in history class. The most memorable thing for me was learning the Henry Vlll wives’ song. We were blessed back then.
In 1650, the Swedes were authorized to provide slave labor to the Portuguese colony of São Tomé and to load sugar there, and were later granted the right to transport slaves to the Dutch island of Curacao. During its dozen years of activity, the Swedish African company ultimately transported approximately 2,000 slaves. More than 600,000 people from Africa and Asia were trafficked by Dutch merchants between the 17th and 19th Centuries. During the 17th Century, the Netherlands was one of the most prosperous trading nations in the world, in a period known as the "Golden Age" that saw huge advancements in science and culture.
I live in a town in a former Swedish "colony" on the Delaware River in USA. We have a few areas that still retain Swedish references: The Schukyll River (originally Skiar kill), Christina River (After Queen Kristina, daughter of Gustavus Adolphus), and Gov. Printz Blvd. (an homage to John Printz).
The more ya know
@@Fenster21 Ah yes, Scandihoovians. It was mostly poor farmers who emigrated, due to land plots being divided between siblings over and over again down the generations, until they were too small to make a living from. There are Scandihoovian communities that still keep old traditions alive, to the point where they're "more Swedish than the Swedes".
Hot take: they should see how the Arabic nations treated their forced labor and made sure they never had children. The also already had reparations, it's called you get to exist in a non dirt country because your parents only met because they were removed from a dirt country. Additionally, if those defeated in a skirmish in Africa had no trade value ,they would have just finished them off right here, so their ancestors might not have lived at all if it weren't for it.
The reparations argument reminds me of that one joke from Futurama when Fry is bidding at an auction and he makes up a number and the auctioneer has to stop him, to tell him it's not a real number.
Maybe we can pay them with products derived from modern slavery. Descendants of past slavery get a free iPhone and boutique sports merchandise produced by current slaves.
Anchovies 😊
William Wilberforce was an interesting guy
Devoted his career as an MP to ending the Slave Trade
so with this logic can people who were Victims of the extraordinary rate of black Crime be compensated?
Ya...the whole "slaves built this country!" Narrative has always been dumb. Moreso there than here in the US, but it still made no sense here. The cotton trade wasn't what built the US. Its why the north didnt have slavery and dominated the south...because industrialization was WAY more profitable.
The north had slavery. When the north beat the south, they kept their slaves despite ordering the south to release theirs. Not sure where you're getting your American history from.
@@BattleBro77 slavery was made illegal in the South during the Civil War. Slaves escaped the South to get to northern states to be free. If slavery existed in the North, they would not have escaped the South to be free. Slavery in the North was not cost effective. There were plenty of industrious immigrants in the North trying to make a living and willing to work. The upside was that they only had to be paid not fed, clothed and housed in a climate that snowed.
@@BattleBro77 The only state that had slavery and didn't secede, was Delaware. Virginia is a special case, as only half of the state seceded. What is now West Virginia, did not. You might count that as a second slave state that didn't secede, however at the time of the civil war it was only half a state so that's a questionable position.
Both Massachusetts and Pennsylvania abolished slavery in their first legislative sessions after declaring independence from Britain, in 1777. By the time the US Constitution was ratified in 1788, eight of the original thirteen states had abolished slavery. Slavery was very much a southern thing, and not a northern one.
They owe us everything. They would still be tribal, primitive peoples if it weren't for us, and it's seeming like that would've been the better option in hindsight.
They still are tribal, primitive people.
@@ArafTryfan True, I put it the wrong way. They would only have what they are capable of making for themselves.

People just want free money, and no amount of free money will ever appease them.
Every society and civilization practiced things we consider monstrous and barbaric today. The British, however, were the first ones to go to great lengths and cost to stop some of these practices worldwide.
Slavery, honor killings, etc. all still go on today but since the British are no longer the global superpower and the Western leftists cannot stand ANY American involvement overseas, these problems persist. They would rather rage against the 'white man' than allow Western powers to seize control of areas to fix problems like Haiti's barbarism or Libya's slavery -- not that most citizens of Western nations want to do this anyways, but their governments are sending enough cash for foreign aid that this would be a far, far simpler and more permanent solution.
"Most politics is resource extraction" is a great saying. This is true of the whole system, not just when dealing with politicians. Good critiques of the law, like Frederic Bastiat's 'The Law', show the tumor of government doesn't just reside in legislative and executive positions.
The Spaniards started the trend but the royal memos kind of, cohncidentally, got lost by the juicy postmasters on the way to the other side of the Atlantic. then the English and French and a bit layer the Portugayse and all the other fair skinned ones did the same the world over. problem solved. 😏👌
Britain also benefited the most from said slavery. Just saying.
@@baker2880 Britain benefitted from establishing colonies, as other peoples had done. This was easier for trade.
Britain just happened to go further than anyone else, besides the great migration, in colonizing far away lands. The Greeks colonized. The Romans colonized. The Egyptians colonized. The Phoenicians colonized. The Chinese colonized. The Indians colonized. The Bantu colonized. The Zulu colonized. Most of these were limited by methods of transportation and difficulty of logistics. You'd be a fool to think they wouldn't have done it.

The British also captured 1600 slave trader ships using the West Africa Squadron, each of which could have been expected to complete many return journeys, filled with more poor unfortunates. The British also bought the freedom of the slaves on plantations in the Caribbean. This expense was huge, and was only finally paid off in 2015.
Sahih Muslim » The Book of Musaqah - Hadith 1602
Chapter: The permissibility of selling animals for animals of the same kind and of different quality
There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah's Apostle on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah's Apostle said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man)
why in Islam was Mohammed selling 2 black slave for a white or arab slave, under selling different animals of different quality, did he see black people as livestock of worse quality
'cause they're accomplished musicians, right? 🙄
Even back then they weren't sending their best.
It should be noted that the African slavers bitterly resisted British efforts at abolition.
I think we deserve compensation for ending it

Slavery was a dead end economic practice that many western nations were moving away from, as a motivated and semi trained force using industrial machinery was more efficient. Even the Confederacy would have had to embrace some level of industrialization to compete with Indian cotton.
Not only that but just paying people a shit wage and making them pay for their housing, clothing and food costs is genuinely more profitable.
They sold themselves, and if they really cared about their past, they would return to their ancestral homelands, with the knowledge they have gained from their time in the west, and make Africa great again!
I just don't get why they think they're worth all the effort it would take, to do what they claim we did. The most narcissistic race, we didn't need studies to tell us that.
the east india company was a private company and they went to india for trade rather than to conqurer it.
the main problem with that company that france and the dutch also had the exact same named company. and usually the not so nice action of the three combined into one when the ex colonies need to hate them.
ehhhhhhhh that's a huge stretch. No need to make stuff up. Because the British government gave MASSIVE support to anything the East India Company chose to do, and backed them up with their military (mostly their navy, naturally). They were essentially an extension of the government at a certain point, and most of their management came from British officials.
I will agree to pay reparations when West Africa and the Arab world agrees to

If my ancestors were taken from their homeland, shipped across the Earth in chains, and used as convenient free labour for a rich ruling class, am I entitled to repatriation? Because as a descendant of Australian convicts, that's exactly my situation. Or are the free hand-outs only available when you have above a certain amount of melanin? Doesn't that mean I'm being discriminated against, despite nominally having a similar historical precedent? Answers on the back of a postcard.
Carl’s video about the British role in the ending of the slave trade has been reacted to SO MUCH and a lot by black people who are gobsmacked at the lies they’ve been told. It’s a great video and worth watching
To be fair, when Europeans arrived in Africa they used head-porters too. Until they built railways, of course.
Samoa is divided into two countries to this day, one free and one occupied by the USA, as a result of Germany colonising Samoa and then losing the war.
The UN has listed American Samoa as a non-self-governing territory, however twice the people of American Samoa themselves have disputed this status, saying that are self-governing. They have their own constitution, and elect their own governor and legislators.
As a Territory, they have no US Senators, and only one Representative in the House of Representatives.
Compared to States, which have two Senators each and a number of Representatives based on population.
Its worth considering that those Africans captured by other African tribes and sold to the Europeans may well have been slaughtered were they not sold.
Tribes would often war with other tribes so because the Europeans bought their captured foes from them, they probably saved their lives
ultimately, those ancesters of slavery moaning about slavery very likely would never have been born had it not been for Europeans so they actually owe us for their existence
slave trade was in fact driven by demand by europpeans and good pay for sucm whcih did it.wihtout money there woudl be far less slave trade.so you got it opposite.
@@himpim642That’s completely false. The slave trade existed before the Europeans showed up and exists in Africa despite the total lack of European and American interest today.

@@himpim642 The slave trade of the west was supported by the Africans persistent love of enslaving people. Even after my ancestors abandoned the practice your ancestors maintain it by selling each other to this very day. Your own people went to war because you wanted to keep up slavery, and the people you were victimizing called in the French who slaughtered the useless slaver armies. You fought wars to maintain slavery. We fought wars to end it. Enjoy knowing that, and knowing it robs you of any moral high ground.
Cope harder. Your people were, are, and remain slavers. Getting lectured about the evils of slavery by slavers is hilarious, but you just aren’t smart enough to get the joke.
I really can’t expect much more, you can’t spell, write, or have a moral backing in this argument. Maybe the left is right to pity you because you just can’t do better.

I would like to give thanks for the great contributions by the black community to our society.
Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their family values and parenting skills.
Their child-rearing practices and skills mixed with their unparalleled work ethic are second to none. Their rationale and logical thought toward circumstances coupled with their innate capability to de-escalate situations is to be envied. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are driven by the mix of African-Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, their hard work and a self-reliant nature.
Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.
said it before and i'll say it again. No reparations without a receipt.
Learned about the Scramble for Africa at university. Several European countries sought to emulate Britain's wealth by grabbing bits of Africa, but made little profit from them. The British got very spooked and started grabbing countries to stop other countries getting them, often with strange pretexts, like they might be able to turn the tap off on the River Nile etc. The only saving grace was that these acquisitions were done on a shoe string budget and mainly consisted of making a deal with established local rulers.
Yet nobody is talking about what they want to do to Indigenous Brits
India should be paying Britain for modernization and policing savagery....just like the Romans in Britain.....
Britain needs repairations for the slave trade barricades across Africa. The wars fought and the blood spilt deserve recognition and payment.
I heard a story a while ago that when Britain lost the 13 colonies for good it actually stabilized the budget deficit
It was either that or when the Ottomans lost Libya to the Italians
Our ancestors should have taken the Arabic approach.
I do not see the British Empire as, overall, a negative influence. Those who built and ran the Empire did a pretty damn good job, certainly compared to anything resembling it. This, of course, is not the popular narrative.
are they going to get reparation from every country containing modern slaves ?
6:38 we trade printed plastic, small metal disks and electrons for items today the value of a item like cowrie shell to a culture centuries ago is no more laughable
They always seem to skip over how the slaves got caught and sold in the first place...or the huge number that went east rather than west...
Perhaps they decided that being eaten in a silver-service 5-course dinner at the King of England's banquet, was preferable to being boiled alive in a large clay pot, atop a rudimentary campfire?
The only idea that Europe *might* have taken from Africa was "eating yams".
Slavery was made obsolete by industrialization and increased efficiency in things like agriculture, when the European farmers found a crop to make sugar it became cheaper than the sugar from the plantations.
"speaking of slavery, we're hiring"
Only the 3 laws of physics from Isacc Newton are worth at least 500 trillion pounds. Africa should start paying their fair share to England.
Norway is unbelievably rich today, Denmark and Sweden had many wars over Norway and they where only was given independence a 100 years ago and are more wealthy than both Denmark and Sweden today.
Yeah, oil has had a lot do with that.
Germany was very late getting into colonialism and only began when other European powers wanted to partition Africa.
Germany ended up with Togo (Togo), Kamerun (Cameroon, with parts later sliced off to UK and France), South West Africa (Namibia, where there's still a German minority), and Tanganyika (Tanzania).

YOUR NAME IS JAMES!
Brutal! Thank God, BRITAIN ended the west African slave trade! Too bad they needed to use military FORCE...against most of the major world powers (AFRICAN European and Arab) to accomplish such a noble goal. Disgusting that the primary cultures responsible for this atrocity still vilify the heroes who liberated a significant fraction of humanity from cruelty and bondage. The crybully is one of the most evil archetypes. We ignore it at our extreme peril.
17:25 And long before Europeans began trading with the coastal African tribes, they had a thriving slavery system where they traded amongst themselves. When Europeans showed up and offered to trade goods with the coastal tribes, the tribes offered slaves as their primary good of value and the Europeans accepted.

The main modern complaint about slavery comes from the same reason Nazism is so much more feared than communism. Our brains contend that we can survive communism by placating to whoever is in charge. Your brain thinks it can survive by playing along. With fascism, the fear is that they can never survive because it's based on specific characteristics that they have no control over. Perhaps they're in the in-group, perhaps not. Even when they are, their brain is worried that the tides can change to them being in the out-group. The basic instinct of humans is like that of any other animal -- survival is key. It's why political revolts, even in horrible places like Turkmenistan, are quite rare.
This is why one key reason they despise Western slavery, which later on developed a racial component (more do to with ease of acquiring slaves than racism). Their subconscious fears their inability to survive such a situation. It's their ignorance that does not allow them to see how the Islamic slave trade, while willing to enslave anyone, was far more cruel to black slaves than others. For example, Christian slaves made up the Janissaries which were an elite fighting force that served as the Ottoman Sultan's personal bodyguard -- an honorable position that would be strong enough eventually to even overthrow and pick a new sultan. Black slaves were castrated, to prevent them from growing in population -- they were cheap enough that they didn't care to have free slaves, those born into it.
Part of me wants the California reparations to pass, then I can forever dismiss the argument of slavery has consistently held blacks back in America. And I can hold it over their heads
It could never work. Nothing, and I mean not one thing ever at all, will ever be good enough. No one can ever satisfy the screechers. No one can say or do anything well enough, to far enough extent, or in a manner that would ever satisfy those who forever desire to bitch and moan about everything under the sun.
