I’m not surprised. Most people think my african ancestors from my dad’s family were slaves and don’t understand that they were FREE MEN who came to the colonies in the Americas from Ireland in the mid 1700’s and their family had been living in Ireland as far back as the 9th century as part of an established clan. We even discovered a family member in employ to the Pope in the 1120’s
I'd love to watch a video with whatever info you have on your family, it sounds very interesting, if you'd ever feel like scripting and recording something like that
I’m just learning how many of the ‘enslaved’ and free people in the West Indies and Americas were black/swarthy people that were kicked out of their indigenous homelands of Ireland, Scotland, etc. just read Ur of the Chaldees, Races of Europe, History of the Anglo-Saxons all written in the 1800s and early 1900s on archive dot org’s website. Kurimeo Ahau and kmz history have RUclips pages on this as well.
@@sabeenie21 yessss this is true black people was the kings and queens and nobility all over Europe the white people started to revoke against the black monarchs and nobility. They rounded them up and shipped them to the americus and caribbeans those that refused was burned at the stake or the guillotine. Then they tried to white wash a thousand years of black history with books white wash pictures and lies.
The Age of Enlightenment is here again . It raises the question as to how and why they then claimed Africans as animals later when they had lived and worked alongside them 🤷🏾 Mind blowing Thank you for this lecture
They claimed them as sub-humans as they were and still are in some areas of Africa living in the Bronze Age. Sun-Saharan Africans have contributed nothing to human development in the entirety of their existence. Europeans and Americans have pumped billions into the continent only to see Africans squander any opportunity they were given - South Africa and Zimbabwe being prime examples.
@@IshtarLinqu I've been over and over the last 10,000 years of history. Embedded within their own descriptions of their explorations is the unadulterated truth told in their own words.
Alexander Pushkin Russia’s most famous son master of poetry in verse was of black African origin. Tchaikovsky’s opera the queen of spades was based on Alexander Pushkin’s original play.
Alexander Pushkin breaks the mythical lie that black people were not capable of being educated, and that in far away Russia, meanwhile there were laws against educating the black child. He also confirmed the fact that human beings are gifted by their Maker with talents that He puts in the life of the individual of any shade and of any gender. That is why I bemoan societies, which refuse to allow the education of women. Lest we forget the West used not to favour the education of women until they (the women) fought for it, voting and all. It has always been a man’s world, unfortunately so. I wonder whether the Russians celebrate Pushkin as he met a lot of opposition during his life time, the same discriminatory circus. I recall Graham Palmer’s recent reference to Cheddar Man, the question is what happened to the generation after Cheddar Man? They seemed to have disappeared, either through forced migration, assimilation or genocide?
@@nicknickleton-kumordjie4 In Russia, there are streets, universities, museums, et al named after Pushkin. He is revered for taking the street lengual and putting it "the Russian language" into a literary artform, "The Cherry Tree", at a time when Russian aristocrats spoke French, Latin. Pushkin gave Russian their national language. He is revered
@@cecileking4427 Cecile, thank you for bringing your perspective to the debate. I am personally grateful to the Russian people for the honour and reverence given to Pushkin. In fact you have added another dimension to my knowledge, on the point about Pushkin making the Russian language accessible to the masses. That is a great achievement and recognition given to a person of African descent in Russia. It makes out my point about our humanity and the collective nature of the human experience, in spites of our shades. This perhaps would not happen in Western Europe, there would be denials and arguments to explain away such an incident. Most of the revision on African history had been led by European academics. A typical one being that, Egypt was/is not in Africa and the Egyptian civilisation credited to whites and not Africans. There is no doubt the impact of Europe later on the Egyptian discourse. It bears noting that some of these ideas are being rolled back for the sheer deception they portend. I wish to take the opportunity on the role Russia has played so far for world peace, speaking a very native language not French or other European language.
@@herudevinci2861 Hi Heru thank you for you contribution on our common humanity and the human experience. It certainly adds to our knowledge and to have royalty in the mix makes the historical narrative complete. I am also aware that Russia has kept icons in their original shades; which is a true reflection of the simple truth.
If the Moors ruled Europe from 711 to 1492, it should not be a surprise to find remnants in the 1500s. Amazing the arrogance of certain groups of people. African culture and trade is much older than Europe. Great lecture, thank you.
@@douglasherron7534 How do you distinguish and separate Black Africans from any Africans as there is so much diversity throughout the continent. My reference is not specific to Blacks, that is your assumption.
@@vintagechild4418 Yes, that was my assumption - based on the fact you were commenting on a video entitled "Black Tudors: Three Untold Stories" - and the tone of your comment. If I was wrong, I apologise. I also agree that there is significant diversity among the various peoples of the continent of Africa... However, would you consider the majority of North Africans (to be specific; Egyptians, Libyans, Tunisians, Algerians and Moroccans) to be black?
@@douglasherron7534 does it really matter, they were Africans as the Moors were a diverse group as well. I don’t believe any African considers him/herself Black, that is a colonial classification, very dominant in the Americas. I wish we could destroy that lens.

Evidence that we are not taught about our history on purpose. Her lecture was quite informative of they fact that Blacks were in Tudor England and these examples show not all were slaves and some had escaped their captivity. Maybe, that is the reason we have never heard of them. They were interesting people even though they were scarcely documented. Thank you for your hard work.

I had to watch this, because I read about a family from New England, who'd been DNA-tested. It said they had a bit of African dna. No way. The new all their ancestors from they'd arrived on the boat, generations back. They digged in to it, and it turned out that they HAD a black ancestor - 3 generations BEFORE they left England.

@@Red1Green2Blue3 What about them? Who cares? What did they ever do, ever offer or achieve? Nothing, just an irrelevant part of history being dragged up to show the black people they had some kind of relevance in Tudor England, when that's actually hilarious nonsense. Goodness, me man.
Interesting to learn that in fact, at that time black people were known for their swimming ability whilst many europeans couldn't swim. Another cultural fallacy which has been allowed to permeate into the long list of our supposed 'limitations' created to justify subjugation.
....."created to justify subjugation"...? Shall we discuss the "subjugation" of the Baca & Bacu of Cameroon, Congo and Gabon...? My 5th Great-grandfather was one of the very few to escape African "subjugation".....Being nearly exterminated by the Ashanti, Xhosa and Zulu whom hunted them for sport and for food., as the Baca are pigmy tribes and descendant of Bacu. People will do whatever they can get away with. After all, we are still lazy, arrogant apes.
@@fitawrarifitness6842 That question is better left to the remaining Baka. If youtube videos are a valuable research method for you, I suggest copying ALL Baka documentaries, as they too are being eliminated from the earth. I will find the video where a leader of the tribe recites, in a well rehearsed fashion, the places where they live/lived. Pay close attention to the hand gestures of the Baka, for it shows their range was all the way across the continent. Strangely, the Zulu have stories of pursuing Baka for trapping knowledge for a thousand years. The Baka have the same stories, but include the "Extorsion factor"....meaning they MUST give the knowledge AGAIN and AGAIN or become food. I will find those videos now. Thank you for your interest.

1. Abram Petrovich Gannibal (1696-1789) was an African rescued from Ottoman slavery as a child by Tsar Peter the Great who raised him as his own son. He became one of Russia's greatest Generals and was the great grandfather of the legendary poet Pushkin. 2. Joao de Sa Panasco (1524-1567), was a black African in the employ of King John III of Portugal who was eventually elevated from court jester to gentleman courtier of the Royal Household. 3. Alessandro de' Medici ( 1510 - 1537), nicknamed "il Moro" ("the Moor") , was ruler of Florence from 1531 to his death in 1537. 4. Gustav Badin (1750-1882) was the African foster son of Queen Louisa Ulrika of Sweden. 5. Angelo Soliman (1721-1796) born Mmadi Make in West Africa, was an Austrian Freemason. He achieved prominence in Vienna. 7. Anton Wilhem Amo (c. 1703 - c. 1759) was an African-German philosopher originally from what is now Ghana. 8. Ignatius Sacho (c. 1729? - 14 December 1780) was a British composer, actor, and writer. He is the only Briton of African heritage known to have been eligible and voted in an 18th-century general election through property qualifications.
I haven't even watched the video and already cringe while reading the comment section: First and foremost Kaufmann's work is not trailblazing - 1. Black life during the Tudor period (1485-1603)has an abundance of sources 2. Prof. Imiatz H. Habib works from 2000 and 2007 focus on the Tudor period as he was a Shakespeare historian 3. "Black women in Antiquity" (1984) edited by Ivan van Sertima as well covers some biographies of the Tudor era - 4. Kaufmann's achievement compared to other scholars and writers, in particular those of African and Asian origin, is only that her book solely focuses on the Tudor period 5. Another white female scholar who claims she had never known about this topic before to be able to present herself as trailblazing pioneer and receives an award - while our own historians struggle for visibility, acknowledgement, funding and lack support from their own ... because your all bamboozled, busy applauding Kaufmann and other white academics who build their careers on black lives - passed or still around - sad world -
I wholeheartedly agree, but under the current system, invented and reinforced by them, perhaps it is a path, for them , the few who will actually listen, to get some knowledge that they did not invent civilization. We understand how difficult it is for them and some of our kin to accept knowledge if it is not packaged in pale skin. I am an avid supporter of “ In class with Dr Carr” here on RUclips, Saturday’s at noon. Also the site Knarrative. This is significantly better.
Paul James Absolutely - I just wanted to mention some scholars of color - Habib was born in Pakistan - Kaufmann btw reviewed his book in 2008 - so her inspiration doesn't come out of nowhere
I'm 2/3rds of the way through, and I'm upset that there's not more time left. This has to be one of the most fascinating lectures I've ever seen. The research and devotion dedicated to this project is impressive, but more than that, it is desperately important to have this information. Dr. K has moved the goalposts for historical study of the relationship between Europe and Africa and has, in her laudable endeavors, opened my eyes, and I expect many others, to the rich and forgotten stories that show a better picture of what the real goings on of 16th century England were like. Thank you, Dr. Miranda Kaufmann, for your knowledge and time in introducing us to your discoveries.
@kittyroo9294 "desperately important" for the preservation of historical factualtiy, the correct representation of ethnic demographic history and the knowledge of current black English citizens who may have no concept of how far back they have been a part of their own (English) culture.
The comments section should be renamed the ‘bickering’ section. Whether you agree or not please try to have some decorum. No one person knows everything. We’ve all got something to learn.
But, we do know that no black groups or cultures had any sort of influence in crafting the histories of Europe, or the Near and Middle East, or China and SE Asia
As Nick notes ( scroll up) they do not really give the meat of any academic subject until past the Bachelor's degree, this is unfortunate, they should really give truth and challenge all subjects at High School level. So many books now on real history of ALL.

No such thing as black Tudors. Tudor was a royal house the period is called Tudor. The black people of the Tudor period accounts for 5 documented people of which the book by Kaufman has a chapter for each. The generous estimation of the Black population of this era is 500 over 300 years.

Here’s another thing! The continent we call “Africa” was not the original name. Many so called “Africans” are not even Africans. The name was given by a (foreigner) who didn’t like the continent’s name. Therefore, changing the land’s name & the people to what we know today. This tribe of people has had so much of their history & identity erased & taken away from them. We’re only taught in schools what THEY want us know & believe. There is so much we really don’t know. Many untold stories… Thank you for this!!😊
There is nothing hidden it depends on what people want to learn…I knew about all these things years ago. And about all the Germanic peoples of Europe…Franks, Visigoths, Lombards etc etc.
"The continent we call “Africa” was not the original name." It has to be called something in English. So why not "Africa"? The people there previously, probably didn't have a name for the whole continent, as they never explored it, to determine, its size and shape. Only Europeans did so. "Many so called “Africans” are not even Africans." All people native to Africa, are Africans. What else, would they be? The same as the inhabitants of other continents, are collectively called by the name of the particular continent, they come from. "The name was given by a (foreigner) who didn’t like the continent’s name." Nonsense. How do you know the reason, it was given the name it was, by those who discovered it? "Therefore, changing the land’s name & the people to what we know today." Do you think that everyone in Africa, calls the place they live, by a Western name? Of course they don't. Many names used in the West, are identical to those used by the locals. "This tribe of people has had so much of their history & identity erased & taken away from them." Which tribe? There are 3,000 different tribes in Africa. "We’re only taught in schools what THEY want us know & believe. There is so much we really don’t know." Well. Then maybe, you should read the material which isn't taught in schools. There is plenty of research on the subject.
@@sandgrownun66 we can talk history if you want to…I made no claim about or against you. are you from Africa? So do you think the different African kingdoms and peoples didn’t know who they were or their own history?
@@Harrow2033 No. But you made a claim, and I responded. Also, in most cases, the Africans Kingdoms didn't know their own history, because they never invented a written language, to reliably record it. The same as most primitive cultures didn't.

Gehazi was a black man cursed white with the leprosy that Naaman had leaving the skin white..everyone's history is in the Bible. White man was the last to arrive. That's why they work so hard to play blacks down
The more I learn about African history, the more I feel that white Europeans have more to hide. I also feel that Black people would be further along if not for colonization.
According to science, human beings with brown skin travel to every continent except Antartica, thousands of years before this end of western Asia (a.k.a. Europe) received its name.
You're insulting black people by saying "they would be further along" . As you can hear from the lecture black weren't just slaves. You would learn more if you spoke to Africans themselves.
@@gingerbaker4390 so true! The Moors were in Europe so long intermarriage is a definite..hence Queen Victoria's mother. And if in the aristocracy, in the common man.

This true but also the truth is anybody that knew anything learned from an African , our history has been destroyed and hidden but everything we are doing to this day can be traced back to Africa just look at DC
THAK YOU Dr Kaufmann, play by Shakespare "Othello" was about a Moor(black african), Why would he be writing a play about someone that did not exist and no one saw.( It is like someone writing a story about a alien), No, there must have been Africans and many of then were seen in large cities and towns.
The character of Othello is possibly based on a real historical figure- Raimondo de' Cabanni (died 1334)- an enslaved African who was forced to work in the kitchen of Robert 'The Wise' of Naples, but became a court favourite, was freed and rapidly promoted, becoming a successful general and courtier. Raymond's life is recorded in the work of the Renaissance writer Bocaccio, and the Italian novel Shakespeare used as the basis of the plot of Othello is widely thought to be a homage to Bocaccio. I've not read any articles formally linking them, but there's a clear similarity between the character and the real-life person, and a clear textual link between the two.

I agree 100%. Anne Boleyn was white. So she should be portrayed by a white female actor. History should not be rewritten to pacify political correctness (wait for me to throw up...wokeness). Fact is fact, Anne Bolelyn was white, most of the people living in England at that time were white. To what purpose would a tv production company want to depict Anne Boleyn as a black woman?

It's interesting to know how keenly black people abilities and greatness were kept hidden, they were great divers and yet black people were thought not to learn to swim because their bodies are not shaped for swimming, that even today they are the last race to take part in swimming and diving, it seems to me that every great thing that they saw in then are the things that they have defeated from. They were great mathematicians and scholars so they were deliberately kept out of school and killed if they know that they could read. What names should we call the white race? Is there a name that exists for a set of people that went that far to suppress every last existing ability because of their jealousy and insecurities that lasted from the beginning of time and still worsening today, despite all the wealth and power that they have gained from stealing their wealth painting lies and strife evilly?

The reason why you’ve never heard about this is because the presence of Africans in Europe most of the time is correctly annotated as a footnote or not at all. The Arab and moorish conquest of Spain is well documented and well taught in history classes. Most history books don’t delve deeply into race because it is implied that you know the race of the people; if you say normans, you mean implicitly some variety of white. The fact that there might have been a few traders or slaves wandering around makes it about as relevant as mentioning in a book about Axis Japan the white photographers and political emissaries in Japan at the start of WW2, or less so, given that they had no tangible impact on the history of Europe. With respect to the desire nowadays to revisit history and establish a line of historical continuity between today’s black communities and the past, it seems important, but with respect to the attempt by historians to cobble together records and produce contemporary history books in their given eras, the presence of blacks would usually not deserve a footnote. While it is fair to say that they have a white-centric bias, to claim that it’s an abominable oversight is dumb and opens the door to the conspiracy theories that revisionist Afrocentrics like to use to claim that James the Black was actually black.

Othello was written in the very early 1600's. In it it describes that period of time in England... Othello was a Black man, as clearly described by William Shakespeare. We've known that for centuries. Thank you for this wonderfully presented and researched work! Information is indeed, Power.
@P F Thank you for your clarification… I hope you did not miss the point of both the lecture and my response… Even (as) your reply elucidates the basic premise of Black men and Black women being a part of the social fabric of England at that time. Right?

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin`s grand grand father Abram Petrovich Gannibal (Абрам (Ибрагим) Петрович Ганнибал) also was a black men from Africa. Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin`s daugter Natalia's granddaughter, Nadejda, married into the extended British royal family (her husband was the uncle of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh).[31] Descendants of the poet now live around the globe in the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the United States.
Um, okay but that makes them more white. Very little percentage is left when you get down to granddaughter and great . Also, can you prove he was black snd not North African,
The only indication I had from my American public school education that there were Africans in England who were not enslaved came from our reading of Othello. We had a lot of questions about how this black man became a prominent and respected military officer; why was this not being treated by the other characters as some one in a million achievement? American history classes, when they bother to teach about black history at all, talk about the people who rebelled against slavery, who are associated with some milestone on the struggle for freedom and equality, or somehow rose above their disadvantaged lives to become famous. Our literature teacher was British and explained that the history of Africans in the UK was very different from their history in the United States. Considering our other knowledge of the topic was regarding European colonialism in Africa, and we were learning about Apartheid in South Africa, this was difficult for us to understand.
Oh what are you talking about? Othello was a fictional character and he is the moor of Venice and it is set in Venice and mostly Cyprus. It is not about an African in England. What's even stranger is you asking yourselves how this man became a prominent military officer? He was fictional. What you wrote just shows you didn't read Othello.
I will be buying your book, wish you could both autograph it and let me know how to book you for a speaking engagement. I know this is much later than your launch and your book is beginning to age but it is not quite long in the tooth or you would have revised it. Great work and observations.
Actually, this book is mostly nonsense. The first one third contains references to 4 black people who were in England during the Tudor period, the largest contribution this book makes is the now widely distributed picture of the black man playing the trumpet, which the BLM movement has hijacked as "proof", you see it everywhere, sad.
I’m not surprised. Most people think my african ancestors from my dad’s family were slaves and don’t understand that they were FREE MEN who came to the colonies in the Americas from Ireland in the mid 1700’s and their family had been living in Ireland as far back as the 9th century as part of an established clan. We even discovered a family member in employ to the Pope in the 1120’s
I'd love to watch a video with whatever info you have on your family, it sounds very interesting, if you'd ever feel like scripting and recording something like that
I’m just learning how many of the ‘enslaved’ and free people in the West Indies and Americas were black/swarthy people that were kicked out of their indigenous homelands of Ireland, Scotland, etc. just read Ur of the Chaldees, Races of Europe, History of the Anglo-Saxons all written in the 1800s and early 1900s on archive dot org’s website.

Money and greed, people will justify anything for a profit.

There weren't many so chances are the people that started slavery in Europe and the Americans had never seen a free black person.
They claimed them as sub-humans as they were and still are in some areas of Africa living in the Bronze Age. Sun-Saharan Africans have contributed nothing to human development in the entirety of their existence. Europeans and Americans have pumped billions into the continent only to see Africans squander any opportunity they were given - South Africa and Zimbabwe being prime examples.

Alexander Pushkin Russia’s most famous son master of poetry in verse was of black African origin. Tchaikovsky’s opera the queen of spades was based on Alexander Pushkin’s original play.
Alexander Pushkin breaks the mythical lie that black people were not capable of being educated, and that in far away Russia, meanwhile there were laws against educating the black child. He also confirmed the fact that human beings are gifted by their Maker with talents that He puts in the life of the individual of any shade and of any gender. That is why I bemoan societies, which refuse to allow the education of women.
Lest we forget the West used not to favour the education of women until they (the women) fought for it, voting and all. It has always been a man’s world, unfortunately so. I wonder whether the Russians celebrate Pushkin as he met a lot of opposition during his life time, the same discriminatory circus.
I recall Graham Palmer’s recent reference to Cheddar Man, the question is what happened to the generation after Cheddar Man? They seemed to have disappeared, either through forced migration, assimilation or genocide?
@@nicknickleton-kumordjie4 In Russia, there are streets, universities, museums, et al named after Pushkin.

Pushkin gave Russian their national language. He is revered
@@cecileking4427
Cecile, thank you for bringing your perspective to the debate. I am personally grateful to the Russian people for the honour and reverence given to Pushkin. In fact you have added another dimension to my knowledge, on the point about Pushkin making the Russian language accessible to the masses. That is a great achievement and recognition given to a person of African descent in Russia. It makes out my point about our humanity and the collective nature of the human experience, in spites of our shades.
This perhaps would not happen in Western Europe, there would be denials and arguments to explain away such an incident. Most of the revision on African history had been led by European academics. A typical one being that, Egypt was/is not in Africa and the Egyptian civilisation credited to whites and not Africans. There is no doubt the impact of Europe later on the Egyptian discourse. It bears noting that some of these ideas are being rolled back for the sheer deception they portend.
I wish to take the opportunity on the role Russia has played so far for world peace, speaking a very native language not French or other European language.

Here’s another thing! The continent we call “Africa” was not the original name. Many so called “Africans” are not even Africans. The name was given by a (foreigner) who didn’t like the continent’s name. Therefore, changing the land’s name & the people to what we know today. This tribe of people has had so much of their history & identity erased & taken away from them. We’re only taught in schools what THEY want us know & believe. There is so much we really don’t know. Many untold stories… Thank you for this!!😊
There is nothing hidden it depends on what people want to learn…I knew about all these things years ago.
And about all the Germanic peoples of Europe…Franks, Visigoths, Lombards etc etc.
"The continent we call “Africa” was not the original name." It has to be called something in English. So why not "Africa"? The people there previously, probably didn't have a name for the whole continent, as they never explored it, to determine, its size and shape. Only Europeans did so.
"Many so called “Africans” are not even Africans." All people native to Africa, are Africans. What else, would they be? The same as the inhabitants of other continents, are collectively called by the name of the particular continent, they come from.
"The name was given by a (foreigner) who didn’t like the continent’s name." Nonsense. How do you know the reason, it was given the name it was, by those who discovered it?
"Therefore, changing the land’s name & the people to what we know today." Do you think that everyone in Africa, calls the place they live, by a Western name? Of course they don't. Many names used in the West, are identical to those used by the locals.
"This tribe of people has had so much of their history & identity erased & taken away from them." Which tribe? There are 3,000 different tribes in Africa.

THAK YOU Dr Kaufmann, play by Shakespare "Othello" was about a Moor(black african), Why would he be writing a play about someone that did not exist and no one saw.( It is like someone writing a story about a alien), No, there must have been Africans and many of then were seen in large cities and towns.
The character of Othello is possibly based on a real historical figure- Raimondo de' Cabanni (died 1334)- an enslaved African who was forced to work in the kitchen of Robert 'The Wise' of Naples, but became a court favourite, was freed and rapidly promoted, becoming a successful general and courtier. Raymond's life is recorded in the work of the Renaissance writer Bocaccio, and the Italian novel Shakespeare used as the basis of the plot of Othello is widely thought to be a homage to Bocaccio. I've not read any articles formally linking them, but there's a clear similarity between the character and the real-life person, and a clear textual link between the two.

I agree 100%. Anne Boleyn was white. So she should be portrayed by a white female actor. History should not be rewritten to pacify political correctness (wait for me to throw up...wokeness). Fact is fact, Anne Bolelyn was white, most of the people living in England at that time were white.
To what purpose would a tv production company want to depict Anne Boleyn as a black woman? To rewrite history, oops I forgot George Washington was green with purple stripes and Nelson Mandela was bright pink with yellow polka dots.

Kind of brings us back to the “popular“ narrative that all BLACKS came from slavery. Why is this book so fascinating in regards to this lecture? Or, does it just remind us of the “preferred” narrative?
Odd! That statement doesn’t really pertain directly back to the lecture.
I must have missed something or cognitive dissonance is at work.
A great book related to the lecture that I would recommend is Nature Knows No Colour Line by J A Rogers. I think you’d enjoy reading it. Love.

Sis. We were royalty in europe. Kings and queens and all. And they arent even african. The original royalty in europe was black. You can tell by the comments they dont want to hear that. All you have to do is go to before the 1700s. Thats when they changed the color of all the painting

It's interesting to know how keenly black people abilities and greatness were kept hidden, they were great divers and yet black people were thought not to learn to swim because their bodies are not shaped for swimming, that even today they are the last race to take part in swimming and diving, it seems to me that every great thing that they saw in then are the things that they have defeated from. They were great mathematicians and scholars so they were deliberately kept out of school and killed if they know that they could read. What names should we call the white race? Is there a name that exists for a set of people that went that far to suppress every last existing ability because of their jealousy and insecurities that lasted from the beginning of time and still worsening today, despite all the wealth and power that they have gained from stealing their wealth painting lies and strife evilly?

Completely support Miranda’s thoughts on programmes such as “Roots”. My daughter was very negatively affected by it after having watched it.
Root was written by a White Man that sued Alex Haley for stealing his fictional story

I went to school in Bolton, Lancashire, in the 1960s. There were NO black people in my school or neighbourhood. A few Indians and Pakistanis in Bolton town centre itself, but that was it.
Are we talking about the 1960's here?
A splendid video, full of history and culture. I appreciate it very much, it helps to put away the myth that black people's history began with slavery. I admire this lady who is giving the lecture, everything is clear and well put together. I love her voice too, I could listen to her for hours and hours, what a voice❤
Yes I agree
She telling half the truth she playing games and one of those black guys with a red fit with a sword was the ex king
The reason you haven't heard anything is most likely because
1. They were welcomed and assimilated without much issue
2. There was only about 200 . Quite a small number
3. None of them did anything of any significance ( historically speaking)
The Medici one was important enough to be referenced.
@@christinacody5845 nice
Brilliant research endeavor!
I really appreciate this information. Had I not viewed "The Hidden Hebrews" RUclips videos by Benayah Israel I would not have known about the thousands of Black Jews of Spain and Portugal who were forced to convert to Christianity, whole families massacred whether or not they converted and that the very young children were banished to the West Coast of Africa. Mr. Israel displays various European books that describe that the "Negroes" of Portugal were princes from the lineage of King David.

I've came across a piece on that a few years back...
@@lannak21 yep, sold to white men by the black chieftains that caught their enemies, they used their own kind as slaves and sold their own people to the white man.
That's how it started, they sold their own black brothers to Europeans ,
Why didn't they get together and fight the slavers?
Why didn't they have a navy or army to fight the Europeans?
@@kevwhufc8640 well if you research deeper you see that was not the case really. Like the presenter keep using words as if african was less than a white European durning those times in England. Knowing blacks king James 5 years ruled England,Scotland and Ireland during those era,
@@lizfair5157 I did research into it ,
I'm not in the habit of just texting something I've heard or assumed.
1st , you need to Google the books written by black authors about how their ancestors caught and sold black people to anyone who could afford them.
So instead of just denying it because it doesn't fit with your ideology that only white people brought blacks to be their slaves.
Read , Google, blacks that sold blacks, books by..
Even before the white man was on the scene the black tribes fought each other and kept the young healthy women and men as slaves for themselves.
As for king James being black , why would you even say something like that ?
You couldn't have read it anywhere because its bullcrap.
We know about our own history , but Americans don't their own let alone our British history.
That's another thing you Americans need to do, read about the facts first, no matter what your talking about.
King James parents were both white, his mom was Mary queen of Scots and father was an English lord , James was the first king of England and Scotland, and he was white.
Look at his portraits or images on his coins, read the info about his family the 'Stewarts' ,, a long line of Scottish lords, kings and queens .
Thank your forefathers for burying the truth so well that you have no clue that the people that you have been crucifying is Christ.

The reason why you’ve never heard about this is because the presence of Africans in Europe most of the time is correctly annotated as a footnote or not at all. The Arab and moorish conquest of Spain is well documented and well taught in history classes. Most history books don’t delve deeply into race because it is implied that you know the race of the people; if you say normans, you mean implicitly some variety of white. The fact that there might have been a few traders or slaves wandering around makes it about as relevant as mentioning in a book about Axis Japan the white photographers and political emissaries in Japan at the start of WW2, or less so, given that they had no tangible impact on the history of Europe.
With respect to the desire nowadays to revisit history and establish a line of historical continuity between today’s black communities and the past, it seems important, but with respect to the attempt by historians to cobble together records and produce contemporary history books in their given eras, the presence of blacks would usually not deserve a footnote. While it is fair to say that they have a white-centric bias, to claim that it’s an abominable oversight is dumb and opens the door to the conspiracy theories that revisionist Afrocentrics like to use to claim that James the Black was actually black.
200 Africans in England and Wales in a period of 149 years? These people were also considered to be foreigners, so she's wrapping a story around her own hypothesis.
They originated in England.
Othello was written in the very early 1600's.
In it it describes that period of time in England...
Othello was a Black man, as clearly described by William Shakespeare.
We've known that for centuries.

the congolese ambassador painting is stunning.
Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin`s grand grand father Abram Petrovich Gannibal (Абрам (Ибрагим) Петрович Ганнибал) also was a black men from Africa. Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin`s daugter Natalia's granddaughter, Nadejda, married into the extended British royal family (her husband was the uncle of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh).[31] Descendants of the poet now live around the globe in the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the United States.
Um, okay but that makes them more white. Very little percentage is left when you get down to granddaughter and great . Also, can you prove he was black snd not North African,
These people would make a wonderful historic tv series about Tudor England.
i was watching "becoming elizabeth" series it came out this year if iam not mistaken. There were black people in it.
The only indication I had from my American public school education that there were Africans in England who were not enslaved came from our reading of Othello. We had a lot of questions about how this black man became a prominent and respected military officer; why was this not being treated by the other characters as some one in a million achievement? American history classes, when they bother to teach about black history at all, talk about the people who rebelled against slavery, who are associated with some milestone on the struggle for freedom and equality, or somehow rose above their disadvantaged lives to become famous. Our literature teacher was British and explained that the history of Africans in the UK was very different from their history in the United States. Considering our other knowledge of the topic was regarding European colonialism in Africa, and we were learning about Apartheid in South Africa, this was difficult for us to understand.
Oh, sweetie. Othello was not black. He was North African.
@@lauraboor6440 oh sweetie you have misinformation North Africa was black at that time

Oh what are you talking about? Othello was a fictional character and he is the moor of Venice and it is set in Venice and mostly Cyprus. It is not about an African in England. What's even stranger is you asking yourselves how this man became a prominent military officer? He was fictional. What you wrote just shows you didn't read Othello.

Great work dr. Kaufman, this is a phenomenal discovery that need to be brought out to the misinformed public!
Actually, this book is mostly nonsense. The first one third contains references to 4 black people who were in England during the Tudor period, the largest contribution this book makes is the now widely distributed picture of the black man playing the trumpet, which the BLM movement has hijacked as "proof", you see it everywhere, sad.
This demonstrates that Wm. Shakespeare must have seen Blackamoors in England, contrary to what I learned in school.
grow up
If not seen, he must have definitely known and learned about them.
