Your race invented slavery. Can you give me any trace of slavery in Africa before the arrival of arabs first and whites. Let me remind you that you both have the same origin and have the same behaviours
@@productionkaya Wrong. The Africans enslaved enemy tribes. Every culture on Earth has enslaved others. First, you enslave your own, because that’s who you can reach, then you enslave others as you reach them.
All I know is america had it,held onto it for a-WHOLE-minute,then freed the black slaves,used Jim Crow Laws,black-codes,grandfather-clauses,etc,etc,..to keep black people in poverty and under the thumb of wht people.There're 300 cases of black towns being burned to the ground,flooded,by racist americans. You can't make this &&&& up.
Slave owners are of every race and color. My own grandfather from Ireland came here in 1901 and was bought by a plantation owner on the docks outside of New Orleans. None of us today were a slave or a slave owner. Holding to some kind of past grievance only keeps hatred and bitterness in ones heart.
Irish were never Slaves under Generational Chattel Slavery. After Bacon’s Rebellion, many Irish became Plantation Overseers and Slave Patrolmen. Hence why the Irish are generations deep from the inception of the American Police Fraternal.
My great-great-great? grandfather was an indentured servant in the mid 1700's. He went on to have a plot of land in the Carolina's after he was "released" from his "servitude", and he "might" have "owned" some slaves (although I don't think they were all black if he did). From what I can see from the Census records, those people chose to stay and work for him. If my family had gone back to Germany, GB, or Denmark/Sweden/Finland, or South America, what would their life be today (what would the slave's life be like today considering they were already slaves on another continent)? A big chunk of us in the US today came here to escape some form of slavery (some forcefully, some voluntarily, some from our neighbors). Peace, Love!!
How have people been lied to about slavery? No unbiased history book has ever hidden the fact that slavery existed in most every nation, culture, religion and race,since day 1. It's in the Bible for christsakes. Why are people posting and reacting to this shit like it's just been discovered now? I knew this from elementary school history. It's never, ever, ever been hidden!
Just like when Constantine invented christianity so his soldiers could rally around a common enemy, he even gave them the cross, so they could feel special.. All made up... to control large masses...
I don’t think she’s trying to ‘prop up’ white people, I think she is trying to point out, in the face of current anti- white sentiment, that Europe and the US, overwhelmingly white, were at the forefront of ending slavery.
Because ppl like Thomas Jefferson wanted to grow a domestic slave-breeding sector. And the industrializing British did not want to compete with agrarian economies using free labor.
NOT "OVERWHELMINGLY" but EXCLUSIVLY !!! This continent is the home of ALL AND ONLY WHITE NATION-STATES !!! NO NIGGA CAN claim not A SINGLE ROCK from it, let alone land . So, correct yourself : EXCLUSIVLY WHITE 😉😊😘😘😍😍😍💘💘💘💘
@@georgesteele4838So if slavery was ended for purely selfish reasons( and who cares why a abhorrent practice was ended, just so long as it was ended) then why did Briton only just, in the last decade, pay off the cost of ending slavery?
She never said all whites fought in the civil war, she said overwhelmingly, which means most were white, not all. The 54th Massachusetts Regement was an all black regement that served on the Union side during the Civil War and fought with bravery to help end the horrid practice of slavery.
@@mumuspain2086 No. She acknowledged the number that died during the war, but also claimed that the war was fought predominantly by white people. When the men who made the video said that she stated the war was fought by all white people, my comment was to correct their mistake.
@AnnaMarie66 Robert Woodson and Thomas Sowell give a distorted version of black history and civil rights. Both Sowell and Woodson attempt to whitewash the egregious history of beatings murder rapes along with the basic denial of human rights of many people of African descent in this country for more than 350 years.
I think candace Owen’s argues for white people because she can see how much “blame” white people get, as she commented no race of people are guiltless. Like people don’t even know right now in Nigeria they have statues of slave catchers and have refused to take them down. Ghana a few years back come out and apologised about the part they played and had the “year of return” hoping for the descendants of the people they sold to come back and build up their country. One thing I’ve learned in history is no matter what culture and ethnicity you are, always question your leaders motives.
Exactly, it makes me sick to my stomach how people still keep blaming just white people and ignoring part of their own race in slave history. It is pretty racist just blame one race on whole phenomenon even that it's still going on in non-white countries around the world, nobody cares.. Not even those woke people. Theu rather just remember just part of the slave history and just white part.
@@DrLeroyArch literacy police have arrived! Everyone else knew what I meant but I guess you can’t escape all the weirdos like yourself. Look like a Jeffrey Epstein type of person and coloniser at the same time.
Do you know we still have-SUNDOWN-towns here in america today ??? I wonder why Candace didn't mention this ??? LOL. If you don't know what a sundown town is,I'll tell you. Certain towns in america ( lots of them still in the south ) black people have to leave that town before the sun sets or you're-DEAD. The wht people there will kill black citizens. The happy black slave is a myth,there's 200 recorded rebellions of black slaves and insurrections. Happy slaves don't do that.
What I read about how the Nigerian slave catchers would do to children that they caught, I just couldn't imagine anything so horrid. It's worth knowing that us "evil Brits" with our "evil Empire" finally invaded Africa to stop these people. I think a lot of the hatred of the British and the Empire is fueled by a passed down hatred of how we went about stopping the slave trades and toppling dictators.
Black Africans were still selling their own people into slavery, while British sailors were fighting and dying to stop it, but as a white British man, I get told that I’m the problem by media every day.
Did the african tell you to treat your slaves like cattle better yet did they tell your ancestors to force breathe people even with there own mother i think its about accountability wouldn't you say you damn hypocrite 😂😂😂😂😂 you should be ashamed no commenting on UA-cam ignorant people
Lol. Dude completely missed the point of Kanye and Candace wearing the WLM shirts. They are both All Lives Matter believers. They wore those shorts to point out how ludicrous, bigoted, and divisive those kind of slogans are.
Answer this. How many of your children have been murdered for the color of their skin? Do your children get bothered by the police when walking down the street? Do your kids get walked behind them every time they enter the mall? Do you worry about the safety of your young or older children when they leave out the house? Do you fear your kids will be murdered by an officer or just a racist white person? If you can't answer none of these questions with a yes? Then you on the wrong page. DID ANY OF YOU IMAGINE HOW US BLACK PARENTS PRAY FOR OUR KIDS FOR THESE THINGS TO STOP? GOD SENT HELP. WHITE LIVES DONT HAVE TO PRAY FOR THESE THINGS BECAUSE THEY ALREADY PRIVILEGE. BUT WAIT TIL YALL MEET GOD AND ASK HIM WHY BLM!! AND SEE WHAT HE TELLS YALL.GOOD DAY!! Candace think she has the answer for everything ,except for her identity
So that's why A white movie company made it it a major television production they wanted to be kind pretending to be barbaric racists are you stupid........actually think about what you implied as well as typed!
Candace agrees with you tho. All lives matter. She did that thing with Kanye to start a conversation about BLM. It got more attention from the liberal media than an “all lives matter” shirt
@@iLoveLucy420 That wasn't the point of the entire movement, though. At least not initially. Think about it this way: when there's a house on fire, are you going to tell the fire brigade to spray water and save people from all the neighboring houses because All Houses Matter? No, you take care of the one that's in the immediate problem and then you can start thinking of the way to ensure the safety of all other houses.
England did it by themselves and ended the thousand years of slaves from Africa to the Middle East where they castrated them, most died but a eunuch was far more valuable than life. Today there’s 45m slaves, in America it’s sex slaves adults and kids, in Africa it’s the fishing industry in Ghana, cobalt mines in the Congo, somewhere children in the lithium mines.. there’s slaves all around the world still today
Why no one ever mention the aborigines in Australia look at how your special people treat them they made sure some can't make babies this this fool sitting on the tv talking about how whites did this and that
As for the white lives, matter shirt she wore. It was literally done to make the point that Black Lives Matter was a stupid slogan, because like you said, everybody’s life matters.
The division in this country weighs HEAVY on me. We're all told to hate groups of people. Other religions, other political views, other races because we're told they hate us. I'm old so most of my human interactions are still in person and not online. I can say with 100% certainty that people still love each other and want nothing but the best for the people that they come across. But then I get online and it's 90% hate. When your car goes off the road in the freezing cold, you don't give a shit what color the tow truck driver is. When you have to take a loved one to the emergency room, you don't give a shit if the ER staff is Democrat or Republican. Anyone that sees this know that I love you and I'm rooting for you!! Anyone!!
thousands of british sailors died fighting the slavers to stop slavery. The royal navy used to patrol the ports to stop the slavers ships going to other countries. I come from Kingston upon Hull in England, and learnt all this as a child, seeing as one of the guys that started the anti-slavery movement, William Wilberforce, lived there.
It was the fight to end the slave trade, there was no slavery in the UK. After 1066 William the Conqueror made it very expensive to trade slaves in England so the practice died out as the slaves died.
@@dlarge6502 I was referring to British colonies; it always impressed me that the UK spent more money stopping the international slave trade than any of the British subjects made engaging in the trade. Have you seen the movie?
@@dlarge6502 William of Normandy made it illegal to sell slaves out of the country. One of the Synods of Westminster made it illegal to have slaves in England under Church law in the early 1100's. There were slaves in England in the Renesonce, imported from overseas but these were few in number and were generally domestic servants. Of course when challenged in a court of law, it was found there was no basis for slavery in English law and once this was known most slaves in England were either set free or deported.
Slavery certainly did not start in America but the way it’s so embedded in their mindset, you would think they did. White British blocked the slave route with the British navy. Without British the route would still be carrying on today.
i loved your position of "i need to research it more before i give an opinion" it shows that you are open to reality and to change your mind but are not influenced by others easilly. You seem like a smart guy who i wouldnt mind having a bear with and discusing deep conversational matters.
One has to be willfully ignorant to believe a single group of people was responsible for slavery or its invention. The slightest amount of research into the subject reveals its presence throughout history and amongst nearly all cultures. I find it hard to believe that there are people out there who would choose to think otherwise.
Well that single group colonized the world rape murdered killed kids rapidly raping kids get it right white people are the only ones that had cattle slavery
Slavery is not about skin colour or racism, it's mainly about money and greed. I have been told that in the years 1500s, one third of the inhabitants of Lisbon (Portugal) had African blood in their veins, because wealthy slave dealers were mostly Africans or Arabs , Europeans at the time never dare enter the Africa forests or savannahs . By the way, "slave" means "free" or "brave" like in "Slava Ukraina" : the slavic tribes were always fighting each other, making them easy preys , hence the name for an unwilling servant ; African Black slaves were then an exotic and expensive "item", only available for rich people. It's strange to see African people turning toward Islam, when you know that Arabs were the biggest slave dealers, but they did not buy slaves, they took Africans as prisoners and the Coran says you can use a war prisoner as your slave. Europeans made money in "triangular trade" : they came in African ports to buy or exchange slaves , send them to colonies against exotic goods and spices, and made their fortune by selling these goods back in Europe . Buying and selling African slaves by itself was not worth the investment. The thing is that these traders kept books that still exist in Bordeaux (France) and other european countries, but the Arab and African dealers left no trace of their business.
So your point I'm pretty sure he only had slaves so he could keep them safe from those devils not to mention he didn't feed them to alligators like white people did are burning them alive are hanging them raping kids men and women white people colonized the world with this evil God said you will pay for what your ancestors did
John Punch was legally declared a 'perpetual slave' and owned by Hugh Gwynn before Anthony Johnson. As for Johnson, when the states began differentiating between 'servants' and 'perpetual slaves' based on skin color, Johnson was declared an 'alien' and all of his property was confiscated, for no reason.
In 1981, Mauritania became the last country in the world to abolish slavery. Thy didn't make slavery a crime until 2007. An estimated 10% to 20% of the population still lives in slavery.
To say the subject of History is lacking in public schools is lacking is an understatement. It's closer to propaganda the way it is cherry picked to create a narrative.
I enjoyed the video. I am now a subscriber. We have to support free thinkers. We won't always agree with one another but we have to stop letting the MSM control our emotions.
The point of Ye's "white lives matter" shirt that Candice wore for her friend was that it was stupid, just like "Black lives matter" because ALL lives matter, that was the point, but like many points sometimes you have to shock to gwt attention and point out how stupid something is.
When Candace Owens put the "White Lives Matter" t-shirt on, she wasn't trying to pump up white lives. She was making a point that isolating races is divisive. She agrees with you that "All Lives Matter".
I'm Canadian. That being said, my maternal roots come from Missouri and Louisiana. I had great-great uncles, brothers. One fought for the South, one for the North in the American Civil War. It caused a rift in my family for generations. My grandmother passed in 1983 having never spoken to her family from Louisiana because of this crazy rift. I taught my kids the truth of both sides and have since met both branches of the family over the years. In fact, last summer I invited everyone up to my horse ranch in Alberta Canada and there were 84 people there! We had a wonderful time and mended many bridges. One of the greatest surprises? Many of my cousins are black. It was the best time teaching these city people(black, white, and biracial) how beautiful and intelligent horses truly are! We ate half a side of AAA Alberta Beef, darn near depleted my larder but it was the best bonfires, laughs, and fun I've ever had. I can't wait to do it again!
This is what LEARNING THE TRUTH - good AND bad - leads to!! Love to hear your story. I'm Canadian with no US heritage, but it makes me proud of my country to hear about people like your family who have chosen to become "one of us" ❤
@@TheDylls If you don't think you have no US heritage, you need to dig a little further back. Unless you're indigenous Canadian. Either you came from the French, English, Portuguese, Spanish or wherever. BTW, what year did Canada do away with slavery? I'm pretty sure it was before the US, but not by much.
@@DavidHunt-p1q Oh, my family is definitely European based, but as far back as I've been able to trace it my ancestors landed it what is now considered Canada. Also, I'm pretty sure we didn't pass an anti-slavery law until AFTER the USA, but I could be wrong
The country that did the most to end Slavery was The UK; Specifically England. In Fact; The cost of abolishing slavery to the British treasury was so HUGE, that British tax payers did not completed paying off the debts for the fight against Slavery until *'2015'.* Also; the song *_"Rule, Britannia"_* Is a defiant cry that Britons 'Never will be slaves.... It is Also written that ANY Slave stepping foot on English soil is Automatically considered as a *'Free Man'.*
Don't forget England also send their navy out to help prevent slave trade from happening. The UK or I should say England was that first step in the right direction.
90% of the commonwealth GDP was spent on ending the slave trade, many british lives lost. Britain forced FRANCE to end its slavery practices through Trade deals. Britain had to storng arm spain germany portugal and others into ending their slavery.
And people reject socialism - This is what socialism - Society works for the betterment of society The Great Reformation and the Age Of Elightenment also refer's to some of the greatest societal changes in history born of socialism where the rights of the individual are curtailed in order to advance civilisation and ensure that the wealth of a nation is equally shared
Two points: Britain wasn’t the “first” country to abolish slavery. Haiti did in 1804 when it gained independence from France. Also, black weren’t forced to fight in the civil war. In fact, initially they weren’t allowed to join, despite many volunteering to do so. It wasn’t until 1862 that they were allowed to enlist, and all that did so were volunteers, and even then they were heavily segregated. The southern army never did allow them to formally join and many were used as laborers instead.
Loved your reactions. My grandson who was probably 10 at the time came home from school upset. He was told he could never understand racism because he was privileged because white male. He said he didn't understand because most of his friendships and friends was with mixed races and his best friend in the world wasn't white. He asked his dad why ? Why does it matter that I am a white boy. Other people point out that they are different than me, I don't. What do you say when that happens? We are all human beings.Can't we feel empathy for each other and move on to a more united people. There is injustice hate and evil in this world of ours and you can't reason in those circumstances but there is also love and kindness. Thanks for your reaction I also want to research more.
This comment is made up, right? This is BS. No teacher is going to tell a 10 year old “you can’t understand racism because you’re white”. Sorry, never happened. At 10 ‘racism’ isn’t even discussed. BS.
Their hasn’t been a slave in England since William the conqueror passed a law in 1086 banning the sale of people anyone who broke this law had to pay massive fines to the king.
just the 1 thing? i think there are a few times we have stepped up and taken on huge challenges at huge cost to us. the debt for the cost of ending the slave trade was finally repaid a few years ago! i dont recall the exact year, but its this side of 2000!
@@dlarge6502 feels wierd to see a country whos history shows they not only fought to delete slavery and the transatlantic slave trade... but also had to pay to do it for literal centuries be told to do it again by a few uneducated twatwaffles with multicolored hair and some piercings...
To be fair the money that was being paid back was to cover the compulsory purchase of every slave in the Empire at market value. That is not reparations, but I personally think that freedom is far more valuable than money. Other costs (such as prize payments per liberated slave, wars, the blockading of continents ect.) were all paid closer to the time.
Its my understanding that science states that human life began in Africa. Wouldn't that mean that, no matter the shade of our skin, that we are ALL brothers and sisters? I live my life by the mantra, "Treat others how you want to be treated." I could care less about skin color, wealth, clothing, religion, sexuality, etc.

Alot of gladiators were actually nobleman and working class men because they liked the fame it brought them and slavery has existed since the first civilization everything Candice said is true and mookie research on your own will show you that
The Union didn’t make freedmen fight. In fact, they were by statute disallowed to fight. It wasn’t until the union was feeling serious pressure that they finally formed black regiments. And even then, they very rarely were allowed to fight. Watch Glory. It’s hollywoodized history, but it’s a good watch and a solid starting point for learning that part of history.
This is the best reaction I’ve seen to this video. Great understanding and knowledge before the video Both had a very open mind and willing to listen and learn but also think enough to have smart disagreements. Love it men. Well done!!!!
there were no black union slaves, there were however black commercial slave owners in the south who fought for the south. Black northerners were prohibited from being in the army untill February of 1863, and it was an all volinteer unit
Hey Gang Yall gotta react to the Gurkhas. One of the scariest and deadliest soldiers ever. They are so so underrated and no movies are made based on them. You guys will love them. They from Nepal but fight for Britain.

It's very rare today that you find someone who doesn't just take something at face value no matter how credible the source in Kingston is a very credible source she's really all about the truth but it never hurts to double-check or just verify for yourself what somebody says. So good on you sir for being willing to look into it and being open-minded enough to find out for yourself. When I was looking into this I never knew that there were thousands of commercial slave owners that were black and also fought for the Confederate states.
4:12, Its important to note that the Union she speaks of was During the Revolutionary War where The America's Fought Against the British for Control of the Colonies, Slaves didnt start to begin to be Imported to the United States of America till years After the Colonies had obtained Victory.

We often hear the tired refrain that Africa somehow "benefited" from European colonization, as if the imposition of foreign rule, the theft of resources, and the deliberate underdevelopment were somehow gifts to the continent. This argument is not only deeply flawed but also reveals a disturbing ignorance of history. The truth is, we do not-and cannot-know how Africa would have developed without the violent interference of colonization. To claim otherwise is to ignore the agency of African societies, the rich histories of trade, art, governance, and science that were flourishing long before Europeans set foot on the continent. It's to pretend that Europe, which itself was embroiled in centuries of bloody conflict, magically became a civilizing force in Africa. Let's take a look at the context that Europe conveniently forgets when it casts itself as the "savior" of Africa. Europe was not exactly a bastion of peace and prosperity before it colonized the world. For centuries, European countries were at each other's throats, engaged in brutal wars that wiped out millions. The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) alone caused an estimated 8 million deaths, while the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) claimed another 3.5 million lives. Fast forward to the 20th century, and the carnage only escalates: World War I resulted in over 16 million deaths, and World War II saw a staggering 70 to 85 million people perish. These are numbers we know, but let’s consider what we don’t: How might Africa have evolved had it not been subjected to the same European aggression, violence, and exploitation that Europe inflicted upon itself? Africa's potential for self-determination was systematically dismantled by colonization. Entire civilizations were destabilized or destroyed; their economies restructured for the sole benefit of the colonizers. Kingdoms like Benin, Mali, and Great Zimbabwe-known for their complex societies, trade networks, and cultural achievements-were brought to their knees by European greed. These were not societies in need of "saving." They were sovereign nations that had their own trajectories, their own forms of governance, trade, and innovation, and yet they were derailed by a European project of conquest, enslavement, and exploitation. ### Human Cost of British Colonialism in Africa The scale of devastation brought upon Africa by British colonialism alone is staggering. Historical data indicates that British colonial rule led to the deaths of millions of indigenous Africans, not just through direct violence but also through the structural violence of policies that led to starvation, disease, and displacement. 1. **Congo Free State (1885-1908)**: Though technically under the control of King Leopold II of Belgium, the Congo Free State is often cited as one of the most brutal examples of European colonial exploitation. Over 10 million Congolese people are estimated to have died due to forced labor, starvation, and systemic violence during this period. Britain, complicit in allowing Leopold's reign of terror, did nothing to stop it. This scale of loss is not just a number; it represents the obliteration of entire communities, languages, cultures, and ways of life. 2. **Kenya**: During the Mau Mau uprising (1952-1960), British colonial forces engaged in a systematic campaign of torture, rape, detention, and execution against the Kikuyu people in Kenya. Estimates suggest that at least 90,000 Kenyans were killed or executed, while 160,000 were detained under inhumane conditions. Yet, the psychological and social damage of this brutal period extends far beyond the numbers-a trauma inflicted upon generations. 3. **South Africa**: Under British rule, South Africa saw a series of genocidal actions, including the deliberate extermination of indigenous communities such as the San and KhoiKhoi during the 18th and 19th centuries. The British colonial forces employed “scorched earth” policies during the Boer War (1899-1902), leading to the deaths of over 26,000 Afrikaner women and children in concentration camps, as well as an unknown number of Black South Africans who were similarly imprisoned and subjected to appalling conditions. 4. **Nigeria**: The British colonization of Nigeria led to numerous punitive expeditions, with tens of thousands of Nigerians killed in direct military confrontations. Moreover, Britain's divide-and-rule tactics stoked ethnic tensions that have led to long-standing conflicts. The British extracted resources, disrupted local economies, and imposed foreign governance structures that have left lasting scars on Nigerian society. ### Colonization’s Broader Human Toll British colonialism was not limited to these infamous cases. The ripple effects of British imperialism led to the deaths of countless indigenous people across Africa, often through less direct means-like famine, which followed forced cash crop cultivation that replaced subsistence farming. In the Bengal Famine of 1943, a colonial policy diverted grain from starving Indians to British troops, leading to an estimated 3 million deaths. Similar policies were enacted in African colonies, resulting in mass starvation and death. But let's be clear: The most profound violence of colonization was not just the physical annihilation of human lives but the destruction of cultures, languages, religions, and social structures. Colonization erased or undermined countless indigenous forms of governance, education, and social cohesion, leaving a legacy of fractured societies and perpetual instability. ### The Modern-Day Consequences: Immigration and Instability Now, let's connect the dots to today. The same European powers that colonized and looted Africa for centuries now bemoan the influx of immigrants and refugees, fleeing conditions that Europe itself had a massive hand in creating. From destabilized governments to broken economies, the root causes of migration from Africa to Europe can often be traced back to the legacies of colonial rule. The irony is staggering: The very nations that dismembered Africa's path to development now claim moral outrage over the inevitable consequences of their actions. So, when Britain and other European countries attempt to whitewash their colonial past and portray themselves as the champions of abolition or development, they ignore a fundamental truth: We do not-and cannot-know how Africa would have thrived without the scars of colonization. Europe’s violent interference deprived Africa of its agency, its possibilities, and its right to determine its own future. And the idea that Britain, after centuries of colonial exploitation, now deserves credit for stopping a horror it helped orchestrate is not just offensive; it is a rewriting of history that insults the intelligence of anyone who knows the facts. To all who believe the myth of the "civilizing mission": save your breath. History is not on your side. The world remembers, even when you choose not to.
My only advice to you is to read for yourself different academic perspectives on these issues. Both right and left love to twist facts for their narrative.
Most sane comment on here. Dont let taking heads shape your understanding of the world. Hear something? Go research it (responsibly). If you don’t care enough to research it, you don’t care enough to talk about it.
Those books are all written by people with their own view. All you can do is learn to take the facts out of the opinion. It’s a useful skill that everyone should learn.
Slavery is as old as grass,no one can blame one race on starting slavery because there is no proof of the very first act of slavery because folks could not read and write and by the time reading and writing did occur slavery had already been part of everyday life so was not that important to mention that came later in the likes of records of trade or conquest when leaders would boost about how many slaves they took etc,the bible even mentions slavery.
Also, remember that PragerU is not a University, their name is part of the deception, rather, they’re a conservative propaganda outlet. You’re not getting history here, you’re getting propaganda. This is one of the most highly deceptive videos out there. Serious gaslighting.
When you hear something from either side , you should do your research. This way you can have your own educated opinion rather than the words of others. Totally agree with you.
I have to give MAD PROPS to the brother who chose to state that he will do his own research on topics that he wasn't too knowledgeable about as opposed to knee-jerking and disagreeing with no points to back his statement. That shows TRUE MATURITY! We have been taught a lot of lies and some of the lies are hard to let go of. If we get more people like him, this country will rise with the quickness. Great session!
Just for context. Of the estimated 360,000 Union death, black Union solders deaths are estimated at 40,000, leaving 320,000 deaths were white Union soldiers. True that the whites didn’t do it alone, but there was no way for the blacks to do it alone given that they just didn’t have the numbers compared to the 280,000 Confederate solder deaths.
Definitely, as other mentions, Thomas Sowell. (Sorry if I spelled his name incorrectly). Also, definitely look into these names Anthony Johnson, Elizabeth Frazer Skelton, William Ellison, John Carruthers Stanly, Antoine Dubuclet, Marie Thérèse Metoyer just to name a few... I still stand with slavery is and never will be ok! We are all human, and I never will think its ok, but I am one of many that eyes and ears are more open to the truths we've all been taught to not see or hear. Thank you for another great reaction and commentary!
I could never pretend to put myself in the shoes of someone else and completely understand what another person has or goes through, but thankfully these types of discussions are extremely important, it starts your brain to think, and thinking and gathering your own information is sadly a missing element in today's society. No race is guiltless, but together we can come together and unite. It is not hard to be a good person, and my one motto in life is do the best you can, at the end of the day that is all someone can ask of you. Just do what you can and be the best person you can be.
I just found this channel. I am white and to hear both of you Speak on this is great. I have always said this , be open for discussion and knowledge and yes check peoples sources.
Also many slaves were shipped to South America. There is a large history of Hispanic slaveowners of African slaves and yet almost none of that is talked about today. If white people are guilty by ancestral blood than so are Hispanics and it doesn't matter which Hispanics just like it doesn't matter which white people. If we are going just by skin color as we seem to do, than brown skin is guilty of holding African slaves as well, but somehow they've managed to squeeze themselves in under America's victimhood banner. It's all such a spit in the face to MLK who famously said to judge a man by the content of their character and not by their skin color. We do the exact opposite yet celebrate the words of MLK. Irony is a hell of a thing. Another thing which was slightly touched on was African Arab slaveholders. During the Barbary Slave Treaty something like 2-3 million white Europeans where enslaved by African Arabs otherwise known in the 21st century as...black people since we are dumbing everything down to just skin color. So the question is....where is all white contempt against black people for their ancestors possibly being enslaved by someone in their ancestral tree? How about we just don't play this game of blame and base people on who they are today in this moment instead of one of their ancestors who may or may not have had anything to do with slavery. People forget...slavery was a rich man's game in America. It wasn't poor or middle class white people who owned slaves. It was the rich people whom owned plantations.
The black people I know, some from childhood, do not recognise racism, here just outside London. I am 56 years old and have been given huge hugs and and high fives from black friends all my adult life. No doubt there are some racist people, on both sides, but the vast silent majority ain't.
Look up racism and prejudice to different things black people can be prejudice but racist I don't think so white people are racist because they think they race are better prejudice just mean you're not liked

General Lee, head of the Confederate army, was against slavery, but he was for the freedom of the states over the demand of the federal government… I hope I worded that correctly. Not all confederates believed in slavery, they believed the autonomy of the state. That’s why some of them are fighting. It’s interesting when you get into the nuances of it. 4:37

The West Africa slave trade was outlawed in the US in 1808, more than half a century before the Civil War even began. However the slave trade to South America continued long after that despite efforts by the British and American navies to stop the trade.
I spent some time in the slave castle in Cape Coast, Ghana and "Roots", although mostly fictional, was not far off. I stood in the men's dungeon that didn't have real windows, no furniture, and narrow troughs were dug into the floor to catch waste. Enslaved men (and women) were made to sit chained in that place for days and sometimes weeks before being loaded on to ships. There's a room called the "cell" for those who fought back. I didn't see it in a movie or read it in a book. I saw it with my own eyes. That castle was owned by different European countries who all made a lot of wealth before chattel slavery was abolished.
My dad is Cherokee/Shawnee and my mother is white. Looking into my ancestry was shocking. I have Irish ancestors who were enslaved here. One died in a Mulatto breeding house. On my Native side, my 6th great grandmother owned 6 slaves, 2 Irish and 4 African. They went on the trail of tears with her. I also have a 6th great grandfather who was a black Conquistador. He owned slaves. Most of my white ancestors were poor farmers in the South. Only the very rich owned slaves.
The fact that people don’t know history is what’s wrong with this world and why we are doomed to repeat and repeat. Slavery has been with us ever since greed and power was a motivator to subjugate others.
Many slave owners were born into owning slaves. They got them from their parents owning a farm. It was actually illegal to free your slaves in many states. If you freed a slave the state would take them and auction them off. You could only sell them to a different owner. So some people who inherited slaves and were not abusive simply felt keeping them was better than selling them to worse owners and breaking up families.
Do y'all know that thr were some wealthy Black slave owners as well in America. . . Also, the man who was killed by the British in a protest that sparked off the outrage starting the Revolutionary war. . Was a free Black man living in Boston named Crispus Attucks. . Forgive the spelling if it's wrong.
How on earth can anyone, with just a little bit of knowledge about history, actually believe that one particular race invented slavery?
Easy way out and no accountability - human way - pathetic.
Your race invented slavery. Can you give me any trace of slavery in Africa before the arrival of arabs first and whites. Let me remind you that you both have the same origin and have the same behaviours
Can you give me a trace of slavery in Africa before arabs and white people came into the africa continent? there is historically none. You invented it
@@productionkaya Wrong. The Africans enslaved enemy tribes. Every culture on Earth has enslaved others. First, you enslave your own, because that’s who you can reach, then you enslave others as you reach them.
All I know is america had it,held onto it for a-WHOLE-minute,then freed the black slaves,used Jim Crow Laws,black-codes,grandfather-clauses,etc,etc,..to keep black people in poverty and under the thumb of wht people.There're 300 cases of black towns being burned to the ground,flooded,by racist americans. You can't make this &&&& up.
Slave owners are of every race and color. My own grandfather from Ireland came here in 1901 and was bought by a plantation owner on the docks outside of New Orleans. None of us today were a slave or a slave owner. Holding to some kind of past grievance only keeps hatred and bitterness in ones heart.
Irish were never Slaves under Generational Chattel Slavery. After Bacon’s Rebellion, many Irish became Plantation Overseers and Slave Patrolmen. Hence why the Irish are generations deep from the inception of the American Police Fraternal.
My great-great-great? grandfather was an indentured servant in the mid 1700's. He went on to have a plot of land in the Carolina's after he was "released" from his "servitude", and he "might" have "owned" some slaves (although I don't think they were all black if he did). From what I can see from the Census records, those people chose to stay and work for him. If my family had gone back to Germany, GB, or Denmark/Sweden/Finland, or South America, what would their life be today (what would the slave's life be like today considering they were already slaves on another continent)? A big chunk of us in the US today came here to escape some form of slavery (some forcefully, some voluntarily, some from our neighbors). Peace, Love!!
But skiiiiiinnn. Coloooooour. Skiiiiiinn 😂
Same story for my Irish GGGGrandfather He landed in Canada and was an indentured servant as a young boy.
Nobody talks about the Irish slaves!!!

I think candace Owen’s argues for white people because she can see how much “blame” white people get, as she commented no race of people are guiltless. Like people don’t even know right now in Nigeria they have statues of slave catchers and have refused to take them down. Ghana a few years back come out and apologised about the part they played and had the “year of return” hoping for the descendants of the people they sold to come back and build up their country. One thing I’ve learned in history is no matter what culture and ethnicity you are, always question your leaders motives.
Exactly, it makes me sick to my stomach how people still keep blaming just white people and ignoring part of their own race in slave history. It is pretty racist just blame one race on whole phenomenon even that it's still going on in non-white countries around the world, nobody cares.. Not even those woke people. Theu rather just remember just part of the slave history and just white part.
I think it would be miraculous of the ancestors of slaves to return to Ghana, lol. Try "descendants".

Certain towns in america ( lots of them still in the south ) black people have to leave that town before the sun sets or you're-DEAD. The wht people there will kill black citizens. The happy black slave is a myth,there's 200 recorded rebellions of black slaves and insurrections. Happy slaves don't do that.
What I read about how the Nigerian slave catchers would do to children that they caught, I just couldn't imagine anything so horrid.
It's worth knowing that us "evil Brits" with our "evil Empire" finally invaded Africa to stop these people.
I think a lot of the hatred of the British and the Empire is fueled by a passed down hatred of how we went about stopping the slave trades and toppling dictators.
Black Africans were still selling their own people into slavery, while British sailors were fighting and dying to stop it, but as a white British man, I get told that I’m the problem by media every day.
Did the african tell you to treat your slaves like cattle better yet did they tell your ancestors to force breathe people even with there own mother i think its about accountability wouldn't you say you damn hypocrite 😂😂😂😂😂 you should be ashamed no commenting on UA-cam ignorant people
Lol. Dude completely missed the point of Kanye and Candace wearing the WLM shirts. They are both All Lives Matter believers. They wore those shorts to point out how ludicrous, bigoted, and divisive those kind of slogans are.
Kinda true
Back then you could say black lives matter all day every day but say all lives matter and people would cancel you for being racist lol
Answer this. How many of your children have been murdered for the color of their skin? Do your children get bothered by the police when walking down the street? Do your kids get walked behind them every time they enter the mall? Do you worry about the safety of your young or older children when they leave out the house? Do you fear your kids will be murdered by an officer or just a racist white person? If you can't answer none of these questions with a yes? Then you on the wrong page.

thousands of british sailors died fighting the slavers to stop slavery. The royal navy used to patrol the ports to stop the slavers ships going to other countries.

They started
Sounds like the drug problem in America's black community they made that in the hood right you people lack accountability just ignorant
Did you also learn the reason why the British wanted to stop the slave trade?
There's a movie about the fight to end slavery in the UK during the colonial period. It's called Amazing Grace.
It was the fight to end the slave trade, there was no slavery in the UK. After 1066 William the Conqueror made it very expensive to trade slaves in England so the practice died out as the slaves died.
@@dlarge6502 I was referring to British colonies; it always impressed me that the UK spent more money stopping the international slave trade than any of the British subjects made engaging in the trade. Have you seen the movie?
We only finished paying off the debt, that we incurred, enforcing the abolition of the slave trade, across the WHOLE world, in 2015 too!
@@dlarge6502 William of Normandy made it illegal to sell slaves out of the country. One of the Synods of Westminster made it illegal to have slaves in England under Church law in the early 1100's. There were slaves in England in the Renesonce, imported from overseas but these were few in number and were generally domestic servants. Of course when challenged in a court of law, it was found there was no basis for slavery in English law and once this was known most slaves in England were either set free or deported.
Slavery certainly did not start in America but the way it’s so embedded in their mindset, you would think they did. White British blocked the slave route with the British navy. Without British the route would still be carrying on today.

One has to be willfully ignorant to believe a single group of people was responsible for slavery or its invention.

Slavery is not about skin colour or racism, it's mainly about money and greed. I have been told that in the years 1500s, one third of the inhabitants of Lisbon (Portugal) had African blood in their veins, because wealthy slave dealers were mostly Africans or Arabs , Europeans at the time never dare enter the Africa forests or savannahs .
By the way, "slave" means "free" or "brave" like in "Slava Ukraina" : the slavic tribes were always fighting each other, making them easy preys , hence the name for an unwilling servant ; African Black slaves were then an exotic and expensive "item", only available for rich people.
It's strange to see African people turning toward Islam, when you know that Arabs were the biggest slave dealers, but they did not buy slaves, they took Africans as prisoners and the Coran says you can use a war prisoner as your slave.
Europeans made money in "triangular trade" : they came in African ports to buy or exchange slaves , send them to colonies against exotic goods and spices, and made their fortune by selling these goods back in Europe . Buying and selling African slaves by itself was not worth the investment.
The thing is that these traders kept books that still exist in Bordeaux (France) and other european countries, but the Arab and African dealers left no trace of their business.

First legal slave owner in America was Anthony Johnson, a black man.
It was Hugh Gwyn, a white man. Try again.
So your point I'm pretty sure he only had slaves so he could keep them safe from those devils not to mention he didn't feed them to alligators like white people did are burning them alive are hanging them raping kids men and women white people colonized the world with this evil God said you will pay for what your ancestors did
John Punch was legally declared a 'perpetual slave' and owned by Hugh Gwynn before Anthony Johnson. As for Johnson, when the states began differentiating between 'servants' and 'perpetual slaves' based on skin color, Johnson was declared an 'alien' and all of his property was confiscated, for no reason.
In 1981, Mauritania became the last country in the world to abolish slavery. Thy didn't make slavery a crime until 2007. An estimated 10% to 20% of the population still lives in slavery.
Arabs/Turks enslaved millions of Africans and eastern Europeans but will never apologise
To say the subject of History is lacking in public schools is lacking is an understatement. It's closer to propaganda the way it is cherry picked to create a narrative.

The point of Ye's "white lives matter" shirt that Candice wore for her friend was that it was stupid, just like "Black lives matter" because ALL lives matter, that was the point, but like many points sometimes you have to shock to gwt attention and point out how stupid something is.
When Candace Owens put the "White Lives Matter" t-shirt on, she wasn't trying to pump up white lives. She was making a point that isolating races is divisive. She agrees with you that "All Lives Matter".
I'm Canadian. That being said, my maternal roots come from Missouri and Louisiana. I had great-great uncles, brothers. One fought for the South, one for the North in the American Civil War. It caused a rift in my family for generations. My grandmother passed in 1983 having never spoken to her family from Louisiana because of this crazy rift. I taught my kids the truth of both sides and have since met both branches of the family over the years. In fact, last summer I invited everyone up to my horse ranch in Alberta Canada and there were 84 people there! We had a wonderful time and mended many bridges. One of the greatest surprises? Many of my cousins are black. It was the best time teaching these city people(black, white, and biracial) how beautiful and intelligent horses truly are! We ate half a side of AAA Alberta Beef, darn near depleted my larder but it was the best bonfires, laughs, and fun I've ever had. I can't wait to do it again!

The country that did the most to end Slavery was The UK; Specifically England. In Fact; The cost of abolishing slavery to the British treasury was so HUGE, that British tax payers did not completed paying off the debts for the fight against Slavery until *'2015'.* Also; the song *_"Rule, Britannia"_* Is a defiant cry that Britons 'Never will be slaves.... It is Also written that ANY Slave stepping foot on English soil is Automatically considered as a *'Free Man'.*
How many British men died to end slavery in the UK? Have you always been this stupid?
Don't forget England also send their navy out to help prevent slave trade from happening. The UK or I should say England was that first step in the right direction.
90% of the commonwealth GDP was spent on ending the slave trade, many british lives lost. Britain forced FRANCE to end its slavery practices through Trade deals. Britain had to storng arm spain germany portugal and others into ending their slavery.
And people reject socialism - This is what socialism - Society works for the betterment of society
The Great Reformation and the Age Of Elightenment also refer's to some of the greatest societal changes in history born of socialism where the rights of the individual are curtailed in order to advance civilisation and ensure that the wealth of a nation is equally shared
Two points: Britain wasn’t the “first” country to abolish slavery. Haiti did in 1804 when it gained independence from France. Also, black weren’t forced to fight in the civil war. In fact, initially they weren’t allowed to join, despite many volunteering to do so. It wasn’t until 1862 that they were allowed to enlist, and all that did so were volunteers, and even then they were heavily segregated. The southern army never did allow them to formally join and many were used as laborers instead.
Look into slaves in metal mines, especially colbalt. Then think about electric cars.
Loved your reactions. My grandson who was probably 10 at the time came home from school upset. He was told he could never understand racism because he was privileged because white male. He said he didn't understand because most of his friendships and friends was with mixed races and his best friend in the world wasn't white. He asked his dad why ? Why does it matter that I am a white boy. Other people point out that they are different than me, I don't. What do you say when that happens?

To be fair the money that was being paid back was to cover the compulsory purchase of every slave in the Empire at market value. That is not reparations, but I personally think that freedom is far more valuable than money. Other costs (such as prize payments per liberated slave, wars, the blockading of continents ect.) were all paid closer to the time.

there were no black union slaves, there were however black commercial slave owners in the south who fought for the south. Black northerners were prohibited from being in the army untill February of 1863, and it was an all volinteer unit
Y'all are spot on! In your intro I really didn't think I was going to agree with you as much as I ended up doing so
Please watch Thomas sowell he is brilliant and a treasure.
Sowell is deceptive and dishonest.
Sowell is deceptive and dishonest. He pushes a version of revisionist history that conservatives love, but it’s not true.
Your words at the end are why I'm subbing.
I agree 100.
Hey Gang Yall gotta react to the Gurkhas. One of the scariest and deadliest soldiers ever. They are so so underrated and no movies are made based on them. You guys will love them. They from Nepal but fight for Britain.
Family can you follow on Instagram and send the link
Gentlemen, I appreciate you. Very thoughtful, thank you.
You guys are smart i like the transparency alot good job 👍
If it took al of us - WTF are ya all constantly blaming white folk for every transgression ever existing. To the dude in green - hey man hear but ya, 5% involved or not wanting to be involved doesn't equate to equality and with Candace a little of understanding wouldn't hurt.
ROFLMAO - Dive deeper - fella don't like facts between the eyes. Look at Africa dude then expand out - you'd be surprised. Doing everything to CYA in a false precept.
I love how you acknowledge and respect the people that came before you to fight for your equality today and suffered so you don't have too...that's beautiful
Like others recommended, listen to a couple videos by Thomas Sowell about slavery.
This is the first time I've ever viewed your channel and I want to say I don't know your name but the guy on the right when asked what do you think about this said I would like to look into it I would like to do more research that guy gave the most intelligent answer to that question. Because it means he is willing to look into it and even if he doesn't like the answer that he finds he will be able to make an educated decision. It's very rare today that you find someone who doesn't just take something at face value no matter how credible the source in Kingston is a very credible source she's really all about the truth but it never hurts to double-check or just verify for yourself what somebody says. So good on you sir for being willing to look into it and being open-minded enough to find out for yourself. When I was looking into this I never knew that there were thousands of commercial slave owners that were black and also fought for the Confederate states.
Thomas Sowell has a fantastic set of videos covering this topic.
No dr joy do on UA-cam on slavery
Amazing words from you guys. Glad you like to do your own research because it’s definitely necessary in all cases. Stay blessed❤️
Hes 100 percent right. Spartacus the white gladiator was a slav£
4:12, Its important to note that the Union she speaks of was During the Revolutionary War where The America's Fought Against the British for Control of the Colonies, Slaves didnt start to begin to be Imported to the United States of America till years After the Colonies had obtained Victory.
You are correct about all lives matter; that was the whole point of the White Lives Matter t-shirts, showing the insanity of both phrases. Keep up the good work.
Black live matter don't mean all lives don't matter are you people slow it means black lives matter because of the killing it doesn't matter
Like I already said. Yall my new favorite channel
I'm white but you guys are "mah people"
Great reaction
God bless you both for open mindedness and voicing your thought process. And YES we should all do our own research.
Quickly becoming my favorite reaction channel. Keep it up gentlemen!
10:52 I just teared up listening to that right there wow😢 I feel for my mixed nephew and niece who have to deal with all of this forced racial animosity but they are dealing with in schools
Appreciate the comment
❤ That statement that your ancestors struggles bring you up in life ,Thanks alot of young folks not seeing it like that my Granma grew up 1 of 7 in a cotton field shotgun shack in Hayti Missouri she made damn sure I would never see them struggles
Thank god for you guys. Keep this up and educate the fools. I even learnt somthing too . Subscribed
I'm not sure if you've reacted to it already or not but thomas sowell has has great videos on this subject.
We often hear the tired refrain that Africa somehow "benefited" from European colonization, as if the imposition of foreign rule, the theft of resources, and the deliberate underdevelopment were somehow gifts to the continent. This argument is not only deeply flawed but also reveals a disturbing ignorance of history. The truth is, we do not-and cannot-know how Africa would have developed without the violent interference of colonization. To claim otherwise is to ignore the agency of African societies, the rich histories of trade, art, governance, and science that were flourishing long before Europeans set foot on the continent. It's to pretend that Europe, which itself was embroiled in centuries of bloody conflict, magically became a civilizing force in Africa.
Let's take a look at the context that Europe conveniently forgets when it casts itself as the "savior" of Africa. Europe was not exactly a bastion of peace and prosperity before it colonized the world. For centuries, European countries were at each other's throats, engaged in brutal wars that wiped out millions. The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) alone caused an estimated 8 million deaths, while the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) claimed another 3.5 million lives. Fast forward to the 20th century, and the carnage only escalates: World War I resulted in over 16 million deaths, and World War II saw a staggering 70 to 85 million people perish. These are numbers we know, but let’s consider what we don’t: How might Africa have evolved had it not been subjected to the same European aggression, violence, and exploitation that Europe inflicted upon itself?
Africa's potential for self-determination was systematically dismantled by colonization. Entire civilizations were destabilized or destroyed; their economies restructured for the sole benefit of the colonizers. Kingdoms like Benin, Mali, and Great Zimbabwe-known for their complex societies, trade networks, and cultural achievements-were brought to their knees by European greed. These were not societies in need of "saving." They were sovereign nations that had their own trajectories, their own forms of governance, trade, and innovation, and yet they were derailed by a European project of conquest, enslavement, and exploitation.
### Human Cost of British Colonialism in Africa
The scale of devastation brought upon Africa by British colonialism alone is staggering. Historical data indicates that British colonial rule led to the deaths of millions of indigenous Africans, not just through direct violence but also through the structural violence of policies that led to starvation, disease, and displacement.
1. **Congo Free State (1885-1908)**: Though technically under the control of King Leopold II of Belgium, the Congo Free State is often cited as one of the most brutal examples of European colonial exploitation. Over 10 million Congolese people are estimated to have died due to forced labor, starvation, and systemic violence during this period. Britain, complicit in allowing Leopold's reign of terror, did nothing to stop it. This scale of loss is not just a number; it represents the obliteration of entire communities, languages, cultures, and ways of life.
2. **Kenya**: During the Mau Mau uprising (1952-1960), British colonial forces engaged in a systematic campaign of torture, rape, detention, and execution against the Kikuyu people in Kenya. Estimates suggest that at least 90,000 Kenyans were killed or executed, while 160,000 were detained under inhumane conditions. Yet, the psychological and social damage of this brutal period extends far beyond the numbers-a trauma inflicted upon generations.
3. **South Africa**: Under British rule, South Africa saw a series of genocidal actions, including the deliberate extermination of indigenous communities such as the San and KhoiKhoi during the 18th and 19th centuries. The British colonial forces employed “scorched earth” policies during the Boer War (1899-1902), leading to the deaths of over 26,000 Afrikaner women and children in concentration camps, as well as an unknown number of Black South Africans who were similarly imprisoned and subjected to appalling conditions.
4. **Nigeria**: The British colonization of Nigeria led to numerous punitive expeditions, with tens of thousands of Nigerians killed in direct military confrontations. Moreover, Britain's divide-and-rule tactics stoked ethnic tensions that have led to long-standing conflicts. The British extracted resources, disrupted local economies, and imposed foreign governance structures that have left lasting scars on Nigerian society.
### Colonization’s Broader Human Toll
British colonialism was not limited to these infamous cases. The ripple effects of British imperialism led to the deaths of countless indigenous people across Africa, often through less direct means-like famine, which followed forced cash crop cultivation that replaced subsistence farming. In the Bengal Famine of 1943, a colonial policy diverted grain from starving Indians to British troops, leading to an estimated 3 million deaths. Similar policies were enacted in African colonies, resulting in mass starvation and death.
But let's be clear: The most profound violence of colonization was not just the physical annihilation of human lives but the destruction of cultures, languages, religions, and social structures. Colonization erased or undermined countless indigenous forms of governance, education, and social cohesion, leaving a legacy of fractured societies and perpetual instability.
### The Modern-Day Consequences: Immigration and Instability
Now, let's connect the dots to today. The same European powers that colonized and looted Africa for centuries now bemoan the influx of immigrants and refugees, fleeing conditions that Europe itself had a massive hand in creating. From destabilized governments to broken economies, the root causes of migration from Africa to Europe can often be traced back to the legacies of colonial rule. The irony is staggering: The very nations that dismembered Africa's path to development now claim moral outrage over the inevitable consequences of their actions.
So, when Britain and other European countries attempt to whitewash their colonial past and portray themselves as the champions of abolition or development, they ignore a fundamental truth: We do not-and cannot-know how Africa would have thrived without the scars of colonization. Europe’s violent interference deprived Africa of its agency, its possibilities, and its right to determine its own future. And the idea that Britain, after centuries of colonial exploitation, now deserves credit for stopping a horror it helped orchestrate is not just offensive; it is a rewriting of history that insults the intelligence of anyone who knows the facts.
To all who believe the myth of the "civilizing mission": save your breath. History is not on your side. The world remembers, even when you choose not to.
My only advice to you is to read for yourself different academic perspectives on these issues. Both right and left love to twist facts for their narrative.
Most sane comment on here. Dont let taking heads shape your understanding of the world. Hear something? Go research it (responsibly). If you don’t care enough to research it, you don’t care enough to talk about it.
Those books are all written by people with their own view. All you can do is learn to take the facts out of the opinion. It’s a useful skill that everyone should learn.
Slavery is as old as grass,no one can blame one race on starting slavery because there is no proof of the very first act of slavery because folks could not read and write and by the time reading and writing did occur slavery had already been part of everyday life so was not that important to mention that came later in the likes of records of trade or conquest when leaders would boost about how many slaves they took etc,the bible even mentions slavery.
Also, remember that PragerU is not a University, their name is part of the deception, rather, they’re a conservative propaganda outlet. You’re not getting history here, you’re getting propaganda. This is one of the most highly deceptive videos out there. Serious gaslighting.
Thank you for your review. Treat others as u want to be treated regardless of race. Thank you guys and yes I would like to see more from you.
When you hear something from either side , you should do your research. This way you can have your own educated opinion rather than the words of others. Totally agree with you.
I have to give MAD PROPS to the brother who chose to state that he will do his own research on topics that he wasn't too knowledgeable about as opposed to knee-jerking and disagreeing with no points to back his statement. That shows TRUE MATURITY! We have been taught a lot of lies and some of the lies are hard to let go of. If we get more people like him, this country will rise with the quickness. Great session!
Just for context. Of the estimated 360,000 Union death, black Union solders deaths are estimated at 40,000, leaving 320,000 deaths were white Union soldiers. True that the whites didn’t do it alone, but there was no way for the blacks to do it alone given that they just didn’t have the numbers compared to the 280,000 Confederate solder deaths.
Bitter dude seemed like he didn’t wanna hear the truth.
Right on guys. Keep up the good work.
Definitely, as other mentions, Thomas Sowell. (Sorry if I spelled his name incorrectly). Also, definitely look into these names Anthony Johnson, Elizabeth Frazer Skelton, William Ellison, John Carruthers Stanly, Antoine Dubuclet, Marie Thérèse Metoyer just to name a few... I still stand with slavery is and never will be ok! We are all human, and I never will think its ok, but I am one of many that eyes and ears are more open to the truths we've all been taught to not see or hear. Thank you for another great reaction and commentary!
I could never pretend to put myself in the shoes of someone else and completely understand what another person has or goes through, but thankfully these types of discussions are extremely important, it starts your brain to think, and thinking and gathering your own information is sadly a missing element in today's society. No race is guiltless, but together we can come together and unite.
It is not hard to be a good person, and my one motto in life is do the best you can, at the end of the day that is all someone can ask of you. Just do what you can and be the best person you can be.
Candace Owens' video is a very short summation of a very complicated historical issue.
Huge respect to both you men. God Bless from VA
❤ Great reaction guys. I hope y'all check out more!
I just found this channel. I am white and to hear both of you
Speak on this is great. I have always said this , be open for discussion and knowledge and yes check peoples sources.
Thank you family
Also many slaves were shipped to South America. There is a large history of Hispanic slaveowners of African slaves and yet almost none of that is talked about today. If white people are guilty by ancestral blood than so are Hispanics and it doesn't matter which Hispanics just like it doesn't matter which white people. If we are going just by skin color as we seem to do, than brown skin is guilty of holding African slaves as well, but somehow they've managed to squeeze themselves in under America's victimhood banner. It's all such a spit in the face to MLK who famously said to judge a man by the content of their character and not by their skin color. We do the exact opposite yet celebrate the words of MLK. Irony is a hell of a thing.
Another thing which was slightly touched on was African Arab slaveholders. During the Barbary Slave Treaty something like 2-3 million white Europeans where enslaved by African Arabs otherwise known in the 21st century as...black people since we are dumbing everything down to just skin color. So the question is....where is all white contempt against black people for their ancestors possibly being enslaved by someone in their ancestral tree? How about we just don't play this game of blame and base people on who they are today in this moment instead of one of their ancestors who may or may not have had anything to do with slavery. People forget...slavery was a rich man's game in America. It wasn't poor or middle class white people who owned slaves. It was the rich people whom owned plantations.
The black people I know, some from childhood, do not recognise racism, here just outside London. I am 56 years old and have been given huge hugs and and high fives from black friends all my adult life.
No doubt there are some racist people, on both sides, but the vast silent majority ain't.
Look up racism and prejudice to different things black people can be prejudice but racist I don't think so white people are racist because they think they race are better prejudice just mean you're not liked
I am enjoying your videos a lot!
Respect to you both!!! Great content!!! Cheers 🎉
Found you guys and subscribing. Hoping to see you do more in the upside down world of false teaching in our culture. Ever approach Daily Wire for a regular spot? I think you’d be fab! God on ya!
General Lee, head of the Confederate army, was against slavery, but he was for the freedom of the states over the demand of the federal government… I hope I worded that correctly. Not all confederates believed in slavery, they believed the autonomy of the state. That’s why some of them are fighting. It’s interesting when you get into the nuances of it. 4:37
Its always been about money and who is weaker point blank
Respect guys, I watch mostly your content on boxing because me and all my brothers are boxers, but you guys don't have prideful hearts and seem like good genuine people, GODBLESS you guys in Jesus name.
The West Africa slave trade was outlawed in the US in 1808, more than half a century before the Civil War even began. However the slave trade to South America continued long after that despite efforts by the British and American navies to stop the trade.
At first I was thinking this was not going to change dudes mindset, but at the end of the video, dude didn't need to change anything about his mindset
I spent some time in the slave castle in Cape Coast, Ghana and "Roots", although mostly fictional, was not far off. I stood in the men's dungeon that didn't have real windows, no furniture, and narrow troughs were dug into the floor to catch waste. Enslaved men (and women) were made to sit chained in that place for days and sometimes weeks before being loaded on to ships. There's a room called the "cell" for those who fought back. I didn't see it in a movie or read it in a book. I saw it with my own eyes.
That castle was owned by different European countries who all made a lot of wealth before chattel slavery was abolished.
Dam right bruh ALL LIVES MATTER
But black lives don't matter is what black lives matter mean slow people we know all lives matter
My dad is Cherokee/Shawnee and my mother is white. Looking into my ancestry was shocking. I have Irish ancestors who were enslaved here. One died in a Mulatto breeding house. On my Native side, my 6th great grandmother owned 6 slaves, 2 Irish and 4 African. They went on the trail of tears with her. I also have a 6th great grandfather who was a black Conquistador. He owned slaves. Most of my white ancestors were poor farmers in the South. Only the very rich owned slaves.
She said those that died were overwhelming white, which means, not only white.
The fact that people don’t know history is what’s wrong with this world and why we are doomed to repeat and repeat. Slavery has been with us ever since greed and power was a motivator to subjugate others.
Thomas Sowell is the black Ben Shapiro. I think you’d love his videos on this subject. He has all the facts. #HOG

Many slave owners were born into owning slaves. They got them from their parents owning a farm. It was actually illegal to free your slaves in many states. If you freed a slave the state would take them and auction them off. You could only sell them to a different owner.
So some people who inherited slaves and were not abusive simply felt keeping them was better than selling them to worse owners and breaking up families.
interesting.
Do y'all know that thr were some wealthy Black slave owners as well in America. . . Also, the man who was killed by the British in a protest that sparked off the outrage starting the Revolutionary war. . Was a free Black man living in Boston named Crispus Attucks. . Forgive the spelling if it's wrong.
