@@Henbot it's not that they just had slaves they passed on,war and capturing slaves was business, men throughout Ghana and greater West Africa had private armies to capture slaves.
I think this should be required for all children regardless of race. The history and culture of Africa is tragically overlooked by American school systems.
I've never heard of them! Thank you so much for the knowledge you share. This makes sense as far as the "black moors", and Berbers are concern. I have an African American friend who has Berber in his DNA. We couldn't figure out why. Those Haratin people are beautiful people. I will do my own research on them. I can hear the pain in your voice! Keep pushing us Brother to continue seeking! One love💜
The original berber are black. The ones you see today are mixed with greek, roman and vandal blood. They have been faking like they are the original berber in order to falsify the history of north africa to make it seems as if tbey have been tbere for thousands of years but saharan paintings prove otherwise. The haratin are an original berber population thats why they make the claim that they have always been in the places they can be found. The mixed 'socalled berbers have falsified the bistory. It is true that other black etbnic groups were made slaves but they should not be confused with tbe original 'haratin/ berber who are tbe original inhabitants of north africa.
Homo Team History whites attached themselves to “Mu” Berber the eldest people on earth , the eldest city except Atlantis in west African. Menroe older that Egypt . Older than the genetics of any white skinned human hybrid.
This hurts me badly because I know this could've been me. The haratin r descended from Sarakole, Bambara, and Fulani just like me it hits to close to home.
I hate slavery so much. People pretend its a thing of the past when it is clearly not. Thank you for this video. Videos like this compound my need to carry on the fight for the rights many of our ancestors bled for. Carry it on and try to push it across the globe until all slavery is dead. No human should have to live through such a thing.
Wow! ! ! I always wondered about the black moors,now I understand. It's amazing, I have been trying to understand the history for decades. I am so thankful for this link. This is so important to me that I understand the TRUTH! ! ! Your sacrifice and energy is greatly appreciated. More power to you. Please continue to educate and share the valuable information. Thanks a million for all you do.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge bro, I literally have to fight back tears when I think of the slavery that still goes on today in the Middle East as well as around the world. 😓🖤
Thank you bro I'm African, live all my life in Africa but didn't know this history and the difficulty these our brothers are going through. You educating not only Black Americans but aslo Africans.
Another well made video. I'm glad I came across this YT channel. You are one of the best sources of knowledge on African history and culture on the internet right now.
Home Team History please the black in Yemen 🇾🇪 are also still in slavery,do the research and you will find out.The black peoples of Mauritania 🇲🇷 have been in slavery for a long time and most Africans knew about it but our leaders refused to
@@charlesirby5265 yup some have been living there for 3000 years or more Yemen and some parts of the Arabian peninsula where once apart of the Aksum and kush empires which where Ethiopian kingdoms
@@arushanioshaka5600 ethiopians and eriteans intermarry with Yemenis. My cousin is married to a yemeni/eritrean lady she grew up in Yemen. Most ethiopians and eritreans living in yemen over the last 2,000 years were absorbed alao assimilated into southern arabia culture. My cousin lived in yemen hadramaut, and sanaa there isnt any slavery in rhe country. Most are accepting of Somalis, ethiopians and eritreans refugees. Of course u have some bigots but overall they are accepting since they share a similar culture. Hypothetically there are ethiopians slaves in the country that means the axum kingdom traded the slaves. Axum kingdom was notorious for selling slaves to arabs and persians. The arabs never invaded east africa so as always ethnic groups sold off other ethnic groups.
Nothing. Just leave empty sentiment in the comments and continue to support our own oppression, fund our own terrorists and care about the latest sad news for about an hour.
Thank you I admire your enthusiasm and motivation and attention to this matter of being a knowledge keeper and passing it on. Thank you very good start
I never stop regretting what my ancestors, or people who look like me, did to ... others. Man's inhumanity to man knows no bounds. Your work of making others aware is tremendous and tremendously important, and I pray peace and grace for your ongoing work. Awareness can lead us to justice, repentance, mercy, and a humble walk with God and one another.
Thank you for all you do to elevate African history. You are a rare treasure. An African/Diasporan African who cares enough about African history and celebrates its beauty....I wish there were more of you. Thank you Sir!
They are described as being both supposed descendants of slaves, and the orginal inhabitants of the Sahara - the fact that they make up the plurality of the population in Mauretania is why i am going to go with the original inhabitants of the Sahara, and most probably the Original Atlanteans...it is truly a sad tale for the original of mankind to find themselves in such a state by the children of depravity. But the same deity that punished us so, has promised to restore
Thanks bro i loved this video,im mauritanian and black. The biggest problem is that the haratins are economically opressed and dependant and they cant have access to anything, If they claim threir rights they are called racist. There is a clear segregation and all the resources of the country is with those whites arabo-berber. But we will nerver give up and we will strive to make our future better.
This is heartbreaking. Thank you for doing all this research and sharing this story. For those who are interested the book Black Morocco of Chouki El Hamel is worth reading
Thank you for this amazing work! Well! Actually as a black Mauritanian I'm sure that our exaggerated sympathy and peace what led our community to suffer. we've to fight whoever stand opposite our way to tackle the mesirable legacy of slavery in our country whatever it cost.
This is so heartbreaking! How could this possibly be going on in the 21st century? I was totally ignorant of these atrocities. Thanks for the information. If I have an opportunity to help someday, I will.
There's an organization that works with some Mauritanian activist to help fight slavery. They're called the Abolition institute. Not sure how legitimate they are but its worth taking a look...kni.democracyengine.com/AbolitionInstitute/contribute
i have been to Mauritania and I can confirm that there is a serious problem. First, the hotel guy was trying to convince me that he appreciated black people. I was wondering ...why is he saying that we are in Africa right???... Then I noticed that there wasn't a single black guy in all the offices I visited (except for the servant bringing the tea). In the streets, it was even worse. Shops are all held by white maurs and served by black people . Finally if a black guy wanted to get served, he was just ignored until he showed some serious wealth or was a foreigner. I really couldn't believe that this was a country this close to Senegal or Mali (black) and the society was this much segragated! this was in 2015.
The first time I heard about the "blackamoors" (that's how it was translated into English then) was when I came upon one of the oldest (if not the oldest) English translation of what we now know as Arabian nights (or 1001 nights) in it's unabridged uncensored version back in 1997. It really helps understand the dynamic between these enslaved black people and those who exploited them, feared them, despised them, mutilated them and killed them. It makes you think twice about work which is presented to the wider audience as being children entertainment after having been modified to fit the demands of a capitalist machine dedicated to the financial exploitation of children. These are folk tales bearing witness to patterns of social behaviors and beliefs from another era, not fairy tales as we've been led to believe. Best way ever to keep our history hidden...
Thanks for making this. I used to live in southeastern Morocco, and have never experienced more racism. I couldn't imagine having to deal with that racism from birth to death.
There are some errors in your presentation. 1. yusuf ibn tashfin was a black man himself just as he was described and the way his cousin abu bakr was depicted. 2. the Europeans depicted the moors as black Africans because the word moor means black and historically Mauritania was inhabited by black Africans. 3. the Wolof used to inhabit Mauritania in ancient times before they settled in Senegal. 4. the word morocco comes from marakesh which means "the city of the kushites" because the almoravids were seen as children from cush I advise you to read more primary sources instead of secondary sources
@I plead the 5th i must remind you that Marrakesh did not exist until the Almoravid dynasty which came from west Africa. "So who else besides Susan Searight believes that shit?" i plead the 5th Louis Rinn also supports this etymology in his book "origines berberes"p 332
+I plead the 5th "West African negroids"? Right. So this has nothing to do with actual knowledge or scholarship, it's about your contempt for "negroids". You probably don't believe that genetics of the Amazigh place their origins in East Africa (where the "negroids" are). But sorry, that's what they are, wannabeewhite.
+I plead the 5th Where did you research Dr Searight? In Bournemouth? Just because you don't like her findings, it doesn't invalidate them. Just because you hate blacks, it doesn't mean they are not the original people of the Magreb. You're just a wannabeewhite.
I plead the 5th and other Amizghen love to be assimilated with whites, hell they'd let a Northern European claim to be a Muer. It's funny these people been slavers for 1400yrs yet always have been Mentally enslaved since the start.
Great job. I was recently made aware of the slavery that still exists! Haratine and African American history is so similar. It is so painful to know that there are people who are still enslaved. It was only made a crime in 2007?!!!!! We must bridge the gap and make this cease. Im in tears 😢 Thank you brother. Keep the information coming.
Thank you for presenting the history of the Haratin. Their history needs to be made known. It was very interesting to hear the origins of the black Moors The history of the Haratins & Moors are complex indeed. So sad to see how oppressed the Haratin became and remain today.
I am fortunate to have found this episode and I thank you so much. I am in the process of organizing a book and my information on the Haratin was limited. From what I have read the haratin, as a distinct group bearing that name (in the form of the Amazigh: ahardin and ihardin) pre-dates the arrival of Islam and is not derived from any Arabic word. I am making a point of including a prominent section that highlights the ongoing caste system.
How can we forget about slavery? After all the pains our peoples are going through UP to NOW. With passion I'm in pain and hate anyone who keep silence on this crime in Mauritania and around the world. No silence on this crime.
Thank you for bringing to the light haratin painful history. Some African activists talked about it, but seem that the African Union want it to go away. They are aware but fail to raise their concerns. I suggest that you tag the African Union, the African development bank and Akon whom I believe is Senegalese and must know about it. Will Smith, Kanye, LeBron should be tagged and let make this video a tool to raise awareness and actions. This is painful. I couldn't watch it till the end. I applaud your courage and dedication to haratin's painful existence. Thank you
Thank you for shedding light on the Haratins ! I am Mauritanian and it Is sad, It's very rare though today, I would say it doesn't exist in the capital Nouakchott anymore but inside in the villages maybe...
Bro thanks for this bid you really educated me on one of my larger biases. I would constantly argue with any black man who took pride in Moorish history. I feel like we were used and discarded and like many other times just because the so called heroes or victors better yet conquerors were from Africa with dark skin , many African American men take pride in their actions . Personally i see it as just another subjugation of our people but since there was certain gains and victories we are grasping at any trivial little success while in my opinion ignoring the overall context. In The Taking of lower Spain really what is there for us to celebrate especially without acknowledging the subjugation by Arab and Berber leaders. I feel the black man should not be proud to be called a MOOR. You even in your video show how the black men were still just used as warriors, bodyguards and then chattle and were only prized for their fighting ability because it helped their leaders that was their value. Now look how today Mauritania still treats dark-skinned Africans as slaves are you kidding me and you brother still have the nerve to be proud to be called a MOOR. SMH. I apologize for my renting as well as my punctuation but I was Furious trying to get the thought out LOL
spain was originally captured the ummayad caliphate in the 9th century! the almoravids inherited this land after unifying several independent states that were a result of the ummayad caliphate dissolving earlier. however they were key in defending the territory from european invasion.
@@isaach8289” They were key territories to protect from European invasions “. What European invasions are you talking about? Spain was always European territory and the christian spaniards were trying to retake their own territories taken by not African and Arab moors.
I just want to say sorry for what you had to go through to make this video. But man thank you for such a incredibly informative video about these people and a little bit of African history.
You go into such great detail and give your history , where you get your historical information, just not to be on your word alone, thanks ever so gratefully for all your hard work to bring to light, otherwise , we would not have all this access to this wonderful knowledge
Thank you so much for posting this. It breaks my heart to know that there are still people out their being enslaved. This needs to be talked about more.
I think we should write an open letter to Paul Kagame, Magufuli of Tanzania and others to act upon this criminal and inhumane situation swiftly. If you want endorse and sign this open letter let's go. Please support this channel by sharing this video and give some money so they can continue with this great work.
They're far away from Mauritania. Mauritania, Mali, Senegal, Morocco, all countries bordering Mauritania have a French "post-colonial" relationship. This is an International crime and the French probably have the most power to stop supporting Mauritania with this horrific practice. But we have to keep something else in mind. Black empires and structures had caste systems and slaves as well (like the Wolof). There's been a programming of some of us to think we're slaves, even if those that are hate being slaves.
Pastor I serve two tours of duty in Europe and I never heard of a European referring to other Europeans as white and I’ve met many people from Africa while serving in the military and I’ve never heard any of them refer to themselves as black. In fact as far as race go,The only ones ,the only people I know that use the term, white,black,yellow and red are Americans/citizens of the United States. The Term black was not even used are excepted with Americans of African dissent until the Sixty. We were call people of color of which I consider a better description as citizens of the United States who are of African dissent. I don’t know if you noticed lately ,but there been some very negative comments about Americans of African dissent by other Americans of African dissent who they call traitors because they do not have Dark Skin. When will we ever learn ,when will we ever learn.
Am crying 😢 crying for our brothers and sisters in Mauritanian I’ve heard of their plight but your narration have broken me to pieces why is UN and others not doing anything about this
I have had experiences of reading enslaved telling their stories. I had to stop reading to get my mind right to continue. It took me a couple of hours to recover. So it was a back and forth thing. It was excrutiating, at times, but I had the courage to push on through. They are like us. Painful!
The Arabs did the same thing to the Berbers as they did to the West Africans. This is why the Berbers speak Arabic practice Islam and are subordinate to Arabs in North Africa.
if i don't get wrong the reason wey some berbers speak arabic instead of berbers language (will the others still speaking berbers/amazigh) is mostly due to modern day pan-arabism rather than the first "umayyad arabs" invader in the region
Thank you for making this video, and introducing to many of us The Harateen and their plight, which is not much different than our own in the Americas.
Thank you this upload, our history is full of wisdom 🙏 Is a huge humanity problem always been the same issue unfortunately. But through history we learn now to understand more and are able to share knowledge that will change the record of our past moving to a new 😊 Trust we still haven’t listened 💜 Slow process 😉
The host needs to understand that Arabs and Berbers are two different ethnic group. They both have had wars against each other historically too. Most Arabs in North Africa don’t and haven’t enslaved black Africans
Hello! Thank you for all that you do! Can you do something on the Tikar of Cameroon? Many of our mothers come from there although we don't hear much about this region. Thanks again!
I am a new subscriber, I am trying to get caught up on your videos. This historical accounting is so deep and informational. I am heart broken that we have people, our people still in slavery. I thank you for your research.
I have never heard of the Haratin or the otosities that they face. Thank you so much for shining a light on these beautiful people. I will do further research to learn more about them.
Damn. To find out there are blacks still enslaved hurt me. You are doing important work brotha. Never stop.
ChillWithRahn Me too😢
ChillWithRahn unfortunately this is not new news it goes on across north africa from mauretania to sudan
Honestly, nobody has really hidden that. The system of slavery needed middlemen and they were black who did have slaves who they passed on.
@@Henbot it's not that they just had slaves they passed on,war and capturing slaves was business, men throughout Ghana and greater West Africa had private armies to capture slaves.

A necessary documentation brother, thank you for continuous Awakening.👊💯
How can we forget about slavery? After all the pains our peoples are going through UP to NOW. With passion I'm in pain and hate anyone who keep silence on this crime in Mauritania and around the world.
No silence on this crime.
Thank you for bringing to the light haratin painful history. Some African activists talked about it, but seem that the African Union want it to go away. They are aware but fail to raise their concerns. I suggest that you tag the African Union, the African development bank and Akon whom I believe is Senegalese and must know about it. Will Smith, Kanye, LeBron should be tagged and let make this video a tool to raise awareness and actions. This is painful. I couldn't watch it till the end. I applaud your courage and dedication to haratin's painful existence. Thank you
Thank you for shedding light on the Haratins ! I am Mauritanian and it Is sad, It's very rare though today, I would say it doesn't exist in the capital Nouakchott anymore but inside in the villages maybe...
Bro thanks for this bid you really educated me on one of my larger biases. I would constantly argue with any black man who took pride in Moorish history. I feel like we were used and discarded and like many other times just because the so called heroes or victors better yet conquerors were from Africa with dark skin , many African American men take pride in their actions . Personally i see it as just another subjugation of our people but since there was certain gains and victories we are grasping at any trivial little success while in my opinion ignoring the overall context. In The Taking of lower Spain really what is there for us to celebrate especially without acknowledging the subjugation by Arab and Berber leaders. I feel the black man should not be proud to be called a MOOR. You even in your video show how the black men were still just used as warriors, bodyguards and then chattle and were only prized for their fighting ability because it helped their leaders that was their value. Now look how today Mauritania still treats dark-skinned Africans as slaves are you kidding me and you brother still have the nerve to be proud to be called a MOOR. SMH. I apologize for my renting as well as my punctuation but I was Furious trying to get the thought out LOL
spain was originally captured the ummayad caliphate in the 9th century! the almoravids inherited this land after unifying several independent states that were a result of the ummayad caliphate dissolving earlier. however they were key in defending the territory from european invasion.
@@isaach8289” They were key territories to protect from European invasions “. What European invasions are you talking about? Spain was always European territory and the christian spaniards were trying to retake their own territories taken by not African and Arab moors.
Thank you bro.

I just want to say sorry for what you had to go through to make this video. But man thank you for such a incredibly informative video about these people and a little bit of African history.
Excellent my brother keep up the good work.
Your videos are always interesting and insightful. This is the best one yet. Thank you 💖
Great video. Thank you for the hard work and great knowledge.
You go into such great detail and give your history , where you get your historical information, just not to be on your word alone, thanks ever so gratefully for all your hard work to bring to light, otherwise , we would not have all this access to this wonderful knowledge
Thank you. We have to bring this to the masses, the struggle continues
This is by far the best youtube channel I've ever come across. Much respect brethren
Thank you so much for posting this. It breaks my heart to know that there are still people out their being enslaved. This needs to be talked about more.
I think we should write an open letter to Paul Kagame, Magufuli of Tanzania and others to act upon this criminal and inhumane situation swiftly. If you want endorse and sign this open letter let's go. Please support this channel by sharing this video and give some money so they can continue with this great work.
They're far away from Mauritania. Mauritania, Mali, Senegal, Morocco, all countries bordering Mauritania have a French "post-colonial" relationship. This is an International crime and the French probably have the most power to stop supporting Mauritania with this horrific practice.
But we have to keep something else in mind. Black empires and structures had caste systems and slaves as well (like the Wolof). There's been a programming of some of us to think we're slaves, even if those that are hate being slaves.
Kagame the guy starting wars in DR Congo to exploit them
Love your closer looks. Please can you do a profile on the Ewe people group of Ghana Togo Benin and southern Nigeria
Pastor I serve two tours of duty in Europe and I never heard of a European referring to other Europeans as white and I’ve met many people from Africa while serving in the military and I’ve never heard any of them refer to themselves as black. In fact as far as race go,The only ones ,the only people I know that use the term, white,black,yellow and red are Americans/citizens of the United States. The Term black was not even used are excepted with Americans of African dissent until the Sixty. We were call people of color of which I consider a better description as citizens of the United States who are of African dissent. I don’t know if you noticed lately ,but there been some very negative comments about Americans of African dissent by other Americans of African dissent who they call traitors because they do not have Dark Skin. When will we ever learn ,when will we ever learn.
Gotta watch a doc or two on these beautiful group of people.
There isnt much on them but CNN did a piece about Slavery in Mauritania
Am crying 😢 crying for our brothers and sisters in Mauritanian I’ve heard of their plight but your narration have broken me to pieces why is UN and others not doing anything about this
I have had experiences of reading enslaved telling their stories. I had to stop reading to get my mind right to continue. It took me a couple of hours to recover. So it was a back and forth thing. It was excrutiating, at times, but I had the courage to push on through.
They are like us. Painful!
Buddy this was tuff to watch man,brought tears to my eyes man ,keep up the good work brother
The Arabs did the same thing to the Berbers as they did to the West Africans. This is why the Berbers speak Arabic practice Islam and are subordinate to Arabs in North Africa.
if i don't get wrong the reason wey some berbers speak arabic instead of berbers language (will the others still speaking berbers/amazigh) is mostly due to modern day pan-arabism rather than the first "umayyad arabs" invader in the region
WOW THIS WAS A Heart wrenching video thank you for bringing this to light My BROTHER.
Im Haratine descendent from Morocco
Thank you for taking the time too enlighten our minds
This broke my heart. We need to free our brothers and sisters. Sooner or later. 😭😭😔
Thank you for making this video, and introducing to many of us The Harateen and their plight, which is not much different than our own in the Americas.
We have to stop this as former slaves we need to do this. Which country. I'm at war with them!
Yes African people are still being sold on auction blocks . But them UN or other organizations don't shed much light on it.
This was really a great video a really heart braking one too 💔
This is the history of humanity..
Very interesting group. Have you heard of the Al-Akhdam People? I think they deserve a video as well.
Thanks for sharing. I've never heard of them...gotta look into that
May blessings from the Divine and your ancestors shower upon you abundantly! Thank you for educating us all on these very important facts.
Thank you this upload, our history is full of wisdom 🙏 Is a huge humanity problem always been the same issue unfortunately. But through history we learn now to understand more and are able to share knowledge that will change the record of our past moving to a new 😊 Trust we still haven’t listened 💜 Slow process 😉
I had no idea... this is heartbreaking. Thank you for the lesson. Now how do we fix it?
Wow I've been studying these people.
The host needs to understand that Arabs and Berbers are two different ethnic group. They both have had wars against each other historically too. Most Arabs in North Africa don’t and haven’t enslaved black Africans
i am deeply sorrowful discovering this evil still being perpetrated on the continent.
Very Powerful piece indeed.
Good job. Now, I know. 2007, wow. Where else? Thank you.
Hello! Thank you for all that you do! Can you do something on the Tikar of Cameroon? Many of our mothers come from there although we don't hear much about this region.
Thanks again!
Wow man... You r super talented 💯🙌🏾
I am a new subscriber, I am trying to get caught up on your videos. This historical accounting is so deep and informational. I am heart broken that we have people, our people still in slavery. I thank you for your research.
I have never heard of the Haratin or the otosities that they face. Thank you so much for shining a light on these beautiful people. I will do further research to learn more about them.
