@keithwilliams1243 it would have been wonderful to hear your comfortable side of the story. Perhaps we could interview you or you could share your side. It's always good to get two sides of the story. Thanks for your opinion.
That's an interesting view @grahamthacker6498. It seems humanity never learns.. or might it? Check out the next part which is coming out "protest to progression". Perhaps there is something in it to further share your opinion.
Has it ever occurred to you that the descendants of enslaved people are actually better off today than if slavery hadn't happened? The sale of black people by other black people has resulted in the unprecedented mass movement of those people around the globe. Notably they moved to the west and 'new world' which as we know was the land of opportunity. Now I don't condone slavery and know that those people suffered. But on being freed, they found themselves in civilised western nations like the US and Britain where there were opportunities aplenty for them. The ones that took advantage of those opportunities and worked hard to educate and improve themselves became successful. Out of hardship came hope. Can you say with any certainty that today we would have black people in a multitude of professions black politicians and even a black American President?
Thank you @lily-the-pink972 for your opinion on the matter. It is always interesting to hear the views of others. I do wonder if your black friends would share the same view as yours and I can't help but wonder how well our black brothers and sisters would be today amongst our society if they were in fact embraced and recognised as equals to white man. Don't you?
@@BreakawayBravehearts The truth is that we can't possibly say as 'what ifs' aren't facts. We can't say how the world would look if certain events hadn't happened.
@Lily_The_Pink972 You are quite delusional. Perhaps it's because you have no idea, care, or have any emotional empathy of what the effects of slavery have done to black people. The cruelty of the gruelling work, for no or little pay post slavery, and of course the sexual assaults on the women . And not to mention the splitting up of families as their brethren were sold off on a whim for profit for their white slavers. Oh yes ,they never had it so good ( sarcasm). And when you say you don't condone slavery, you are somewhat disingenuous here as you appear to look back on those times with some sort of sense of pride and fondness in white accomplishment and achievement. Let me inform you of the remnants of those wonderful days. If you are not aware and allow me to bring it to your attention, prejudice and racism still exist. You only have to look at the deep South in America, all be it the racism being stoked up by certain characters such as Donald Trump, the racism is alive and kicking. And by the way, I'm part black, if you are wondering 🤔.
@annaharvey8729 Thank you for entering the conversation. We really appreciate everyone's views because without a full understanding of such events we will never truly understand and show the empathy deserved by all humans. I think on research, this is what really motivated him to find out more. If you haven't done the tour, met him, or experienced Bristol .. we highly recommend doing so.
Well said Blacks have a huge chip on their shoulders. None want to go back to their Ancestrial homeland though. Everything is geared for them including TV Media and even Advertising propaganda. These opportunities would not be possible for most in Africa. Britains decline started in the Windrush Years and now is probably irreversible . The Globalists want a one Nation State in Europe and will push it against the wishes of the Public. A Orwellian nightmare
Woah there! You missed out the 1625 raid on Bristol by Ottoman pirates who enslaved 60 Englishmen to sell into servitude in North Africa. Did your "historian" chap miss that out of his story?
Thank you @mindyerownbusiness-p7t for highlighting this. Rob had mentioned that he had excess amounts of information and research, but to keep on time he had to miss out a few vital points. We'd like to think he knew about this, however, thank you for bringing it to light. Why not try his tour.
It’s not just one raid , for quite a long time prior to any uk involvement in the slave trade Africans were raiding the uk and Europe for slaves . Also did he mention what happened to the African slaves not bought and shipped to the americas , they were eaten or ritually sacrificed by torture . So people alive many of them involved in the slave trade felt these people were better off in Virginia . Think that didn’t happen watch cannibal warlords of Liberia on RUclips or goggle cannibalism Sierra Leone civil war or muti murder it’s still happening
What is the issue ? Africans sold other Africans, and some Europeans bought them. I'm pretty sick of hearing about it. When are we going to talk about the actual slave traders themselves ?
However, whether it was white slavers or black slavers, does that make it more acceptable? Answer no, it doesn't! Also, I'm sick of this old trope and tired out argument, trying to justify and defend the indefensible because it upsets your sensibilities somewhat. Fact! If we are ever going to learn and move on from racism and greed and the undeserved wealth that was brought about by slavery. Then, we have to face up to the truth of the malevolent historical facts of this evil trade. To sum up, we must learn from history!
@zapre2284 Thank you for your contribution. We had hoped that people would see the better in people from what Rob had to show. We feel it's a question of morality and empathy. We hope you understand.
Great video mate
❤
We are happy you enjoyed it. The brighter future video is up next. Thanks for your support 🙏
Why in your title do you call it a troubling past, I am Bristolian and I am not in the least bit troubled.
👏👏👏👏

@@Daisy-tl2lh sickening propaganda against Native Brits
Can't be any worse than it is now.

Of course Bristol was a slave trading port way back transporting English slaves to Ireland and then to Africa.
Hi @rickjensen2717, yes this is so, not something I learned in my education though.

Cool, only five thousandths of a percent of the number of Africans British slavers shipped to the Caribbean.
