The most sad thing that got me Crying is That slavery Still Exist..
For real were ?
John Starks human trafficking. More common in poor countries but sometimes happens in Europe and North America from what I know
Chugofast Hister yeah. It’s sad.
Especially in the middle east. Actual slavery. Its tragic.
@@johnstarks65 Im from Denmark and there are women who are enslaved and forced to be prostitution and men forced to hard labour here. It happens in pretty much in all european countries, it just doesnt get much media attention. People from east europe are promised a job and when they arrive they get their passport taken away from them, which leaves them with 0 options. This stuff happens, but it is hard to say how much it happens.
But there are far worse countries such as North Korea Pakistan with millions of slaves.
I don't get how any human being with any humanity could do that to another person.
@John Nichols the thing is we still have slaves but modernize version, i don't get how any human being with ant humanity could do that to another person lol.
John Nichols where in Ally Kats statement does she get on her high horse,as you so quaintly put it. All she asked was a salient question!
I agree. Watch “Mudbound” on Netflix. It broke my heart how people treated African Americans. I know in some places it continues. I am absolutely ashamed sickened and angry over how we treated certain groups.
Them Romans done it
Tye Tyler I mean if they’ve been doing it for thousands of years before Europeans even came to Africa, tell me why people only say things like “the white man is evil”?
They don't have to be my ancestors to shed tears after watching these inhumane practices.
Humans are global, its OUR ancestors so we should all be shedding tears. We are a global species and it's sad we do this to our own kind.
@Pxer Amen.
@@averagehuman3161
Humans are the most barbaric beings ever to exist.
No matter where you come from there is a good chance that ur ancestors could have been inslaved at one point in history
Humans are real monster. .......
@Rain T it's TRUE bro
@Rain T u rite and I'm sorry about what I said just a lil upset not all white people r evil and devil's
Absolutely
Original King yup they are
@@originalking3950 I hope you know that it was other black people in Africa who sold their own countrymen as slaves to white people. When it comes to people being monsters, color of the skin doesn't matter.
Thank you God for my ancestors this is so painful to watch may they soul Rest In Peace 😢😢😢😢
My people have been through a lot. May the Almighty God bless all Africans.
I’m from Africa may god bless the color black
Kinky Tail ok
Africa? You mean the kings and tribesmen who *sold* "your" people?
@@kinkytail872 Africans sold Blacks Our own people Sold us out our people would pray to voodoo and when you pray to Evil you get Slavery
Good old Africa ! ! I was born a poor unblack child and both my parents were poor unblack people. We feel the pain with you and agree that black slavery should never have happened and the USA only gained more problems because slavery did happen ! !
today my history teacher showed me this videos and other videos about this series because we were learning about slavery
i can't even imagine the agony and pain these peopler endour while on that ship.
Endured. Not indor. Why can't you spell?
@@brucejemcek6986 They could be new to the language, you idiot.
I had to watch this for my history homework
Ewan ASMR unlucky it’s a shite video
Nation Clips nah it’s the truth
The kind of hurt...that makes you not wanna breath...it left me breathless.
Bruce Jemcek what’s that supposed to mean?
Imagine separating family members
You appear muslim. Do you have any idea how many africans were enslaved by muslims back then and up TO TODAY ?????????????
My poor ancestors, it's almost like the men should have died rather than let our women be treated the way they were. I wouldn't be here now if the men didnt survive but we aren't respected now because of what happened and how it happened then which is what this video shows.
@Prod. Toni Awe europeans didnt force them. A lot of african nations and kings got filthy rich from the slave trade. Some of african nations had to be forced by the british to stop selling slaves. History is not as one sided as u think it is.
@Keith Cox might be true but still doesn't sidestep the fact that your ancestors were still pure evil.
@Keith Cox dude, I'm not even American to start with. And btw, with your first statement, Europeans were actually paying gangs to attack unprotected villages and selling them back to them. Maybe u should read more about history b4 trying to defend your ancestors vicious acts.
Men had it very bad. They were held in chains and couldn't move. There was nothing they could do.
Oh come on
nauseating - beyond believe
Beyond BELIEF. Believe is a different word.
@@brucejemcek6986 You know what they meant smh. Nice way to try to devalue somebody's comment that's coming from a heartfelt place
Why didn't they show the scenes in the TV show?
Namely the one where Jinna is shown to be sold away. I was always confused about what happened to her, now I know after watching this
@@Lukithunder Wait, theres a TV show about this.
Whats it called?
@@cozyclamasmr Yeah, Mudbound is on _my list_ on Netflix I'm sure.
didnt they?
Apparently this was done by people that love calling Africans Savage people,,, irony!
Amirite???
I’m curious..... what makes you such a Mandingo expert ?
This is history make me crying
Your sentence is senseless. You meant to say "This is history. It makes me cry." Learn how to write. You must be black.
@Gwyn S She should thank me for the correction. People have forgotten how to write. Spellcheck and technology is precisely the reason why people have become so lazy.
@@brucejemcek6986 This is not a school. It's a comment section. Anyone could get the meaning out of that comment so why don't you kindly stop acting like an idiot
@@brucejemcek6986 learn how to not be racist
Slavery was not just the greatest stain in American history but all of humanity
All nation's got some answering to the Most High
Russia ?
@@justincase4892 all!
Nations. No apostrophe.
@Pablo Rivera They did the same with Stalin and communism on its own people.
Really sickening.
I can't believe that anyone in anyway could ever justify this, this is just unbelievably horrible and disgusting
If you were living 200 years ago or before probably you wouldn’t see nothing wrong with it either. You probably would be more humane to slaves but still you’d be perfectly fine with this institution.
This makes me so sad
Thats horrible... :c
the very same people now tell African people go home, remember what you did going around acting perfect shame on you and you know who you are.
Insane isn't it & I say this as a white "British" person. We are one of the most xenophobic nations on the planet nowadays but we once claimed an empire "on which the sun never set". Paying off that karmic debt slowly....
Rule Britannia
If any man have an ear, (Revelation 13:9-10) let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
(Meaning what they did to our ancestors their offspring will pay for it according to (Isaiah 14:21) so we Israelites will continue to wait patiently for the coming of the Lord)
Plain and Simple 👑🔥👑
Must have been terrifying to b snatched from ur land...Made to live in filth as they crossed the ocean..treated like dirt. Hard to fathom that humans can treat others so badly. People today have still not learnt the lessons from the past.
the slaves were bought by the europeans from the africans. bruh the africans themselved sold africans
@@salvat3735 That was a very small percentage and they only did that because they themselves were threatened into slavery if they didn’t comply.
@@AmarisAngel That's not true at all. If you think about it logically it makes more sense that most African slaves were sold by other Africans. Europeans did not know the layout of the African bush, the natives did, Europeans didn't know the languages on the continent, the natives did, the Europeans were not immune to certain diseases, the natives were. The only reason the Atlantic slave trade flourished is because African kings and tribal leaders were greedy and saw the arrival of Europeans as an opportunity to sell people from rival kingdoms and criminals and have them shipped away forever while simultaneously getting fancy luxuries like alcohol and guns. There's a reason it was called a slave TRADE. The trade being the selling of African slaves by African kingdoms in exchange for European items.
How could you treat people this way....
In modern time , slavery is with extra steps
I dont know if European based powers were always as brutal in the same way as the Mongols per say who killed one fifth kf the world's population. But the creepy way they systematically dehumanized and objectified people during the colonial era has not been equalized by many other societies. Again. I am not saying Europeans were overall the worse oppressors in history, but they were in a certain very creepy and horrifying aspect.
Massive egos.
They honestly believed in their superiority & in the righteousness of what they were doing. "Civilising" I think they called it.
Dude the arabs did the same. They even castrated the people they enslaved.
@@MrIrrepressible True. But the reason why the Atlantic slave trade eclipses the Indian ocean slave trade is the sheer number of people enslaved in a relatively short amount of time.
Also, the slaves social position was different in the Arab world. The children of slaves were not necessarily also slaves like the Atlantic slave trade and social mobility was possible . This is why you have many occasions of empires and leaders of settlements being led by former slaves or their descendants in the middle-Eastern sphere.
@@myfrequencies1912baby, "superiority & in the righteousness of what they were doing." Do some research on the Arab slave trade to get an idea of what sick is.
People can be so evil... 😭💔
i have to google what a septic tank is..
It ticks me off that my ancestors had to endure that bulls#!t and people say we dont deserve some type of reperations. The effects of slavery are generational.
@Lone Wolf so what white folks didnt have to buy em, lynch em and enslave them for FREE LABOR.
From being slaves to people (even europeans being slaves to other ethnic groups, or chinese, arabic, persian, african, hispanic, etc.) to being slaves to machines and or corporations. Especially in the gaming industry. Seems it is now all about money.
Well said. Don't forget the Japanese enslaving the Chinese and Koreans. The native Americans enslaving Mexicans and vise versa. It's called man's inhumanity to man.
@Pashtun Boy They did both.
This should be taught in American schools
I went to school in the 70's and 80's and it was taught in my school. In high school we got pretty in depth about it.
Shahid committed love story ❤️
There was slavery through all human history up to this time. I'd like to see more shows on the treatment of slaves in Rome and other times, which was often more brutal. They only make shows about these specific slaves at this specific time in history for some reason.
Not only are they eating everything they are being fed they are licking the fingers that feed them.
@D Gh Really, how do you know that. The Romans had slaves from all over the empire.
IG comments: *grabs popcorn* Good movie
it is so ridiculous that people would buy other human beings
.
i agree
i agree
i agree
Just a small point but at the start of this clip that ship was certainly going a fair old speed of knots considering it did not have any sails that had been hoisted?
the slave trade was the worst thing to happen in the 1800s i swear
Really, the Arabs took slaves out of Africa for 1300 years, what makes the 1800's special?
As a Spaniard. Allow me to apologize on behalf of Spain for catapulting the slave trade
I thought it was Portugal that catapulted the slave trade? 🤔
I find it difficult to believe that one could smell a slave ship a day before its arrival. I just Googled this and learned that an average sailing ship averaged about eight knots an hour, which translates to just over nine MPH. So that would mean that one could smell a slave ship as it was about ten miles out to sea. Is this possible? Please understand. This is my only point of contention with this video. Slavery was reprehensible! How we could have ever allowed it in our country is beyond belief. And for over three hundred years!
It was an exaggeration.
I live by the coast and yes, you can smell stuff miles away.
Ask people living near oil spills.
Where would I find the full episode
The complete series is available on hulu 👍
Ah so that's what happened to Jinna, I was confused what exactly happened to her but a deleted scene shown here tells us, okay.
Who's Jinna ?
@@theemirofjaffa2266 the Gambian woman that Kunte Kinte wanted to marry. They didn’t show her being sold on roots but on history channel it shows you a deleted scene about what actually happened to her.
Dude its been more then 1000 years give it up already
How you gonna tell somebody to give up already lol. Your opinion is invalid these aren’t what your ancestors been through but the people ancestors who did went through this bro so stfu because you’ll never feel how the way they feel.
@@jasonjohnson5614 well said
@THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR and what's your point you referring to me I know o history maybe more than you.
@THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR so you speaking from a whole different perspective what is you talking about trying to make an argument 🤔. If they did have 1% African in them it won't change their perspective and still be ignorant enough to not claim themselves of African decent. So again why you wasting your time with a pointless argument you the one sound ignorant. You must be Caucasian as well.
@THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR my mistake on that one but still point proven. That's what you all say to justify saying we all been slaves once and I give you that one but you're comment is the one that is ignorant if you live in America where I from which u probably do. Is the fact that it is still going on in America. And white privilege is very real in this country. So again what is your argument to bring it up in the first place or you are just that white person saying get over it. Which is the most ignorant thing a black person can ever hear.
ancient Egypt started slaves ??? not sure but it has been around a long long time i know this...
Why is it no longer on Hulu?
I have a friend who believe the slave trade never happened and blacks were already here and that we are indians. Its sad because my people went through a lot
The name of the movie plz
I would have bought a few and treated them like human beings, taught them to read and write, let them live in the same house as my family.
How is it going so fast with sails up
honestly no real difference in modern africa for the vast majority - except slaves had food
What do you mean?
As long as the human race has been around in 95% of it's excistence slavery was normal/ legal... I'm Dutch and our people (a traders nation) traded slaves for centuries from the Gold Coast and Senegal. It is horrific for me to understand ( a sort of holocaust) but all nations did it. Ther Romans, Germanic tribes, the Arabs (they traded in white slaves) and the Azteks and African tribes... As a human race we should look back at our history and remind that we evolved and abolished this primitive system of slavery.. A true Christian, Jew or Muslim doesn't own slaves nor trades them..
How horrific
It all looks great. We really should bring it back.
Blacks as long as you live in the west, you better come home, we love our own
But there are more slaves in modern times and Africa and Asia have majority of them? Humans haven't changed
This is so sad
You see who are the real monsters ..
What did he mean at the end
I think I’m gonna throw up
Now we are used to say that one could do anything with his slave. But absolutely not everything, what you want to do, could be done. There was public morality, social and religious foundations, different kind of game rules. It was impossible to fry a black man and to eat him, for example. And a lot of things - including, it would seem, useful and even necessary for mankind - could not be done with a slave, as it was forbidden by society.
I couldn't treat a dog like this let alone a human
Folks slavery still exists today. And it hails in the same place Africa. But for some reason we don't talk about that huh.
This is the worst thing such a travesty in human history
Isaiah 43:11 🥺
Worth more then than now
I wish RUclips had the laughing emoji
very sad
Of course no reference to the fact that other Africans were capturing their fellow Africans to sell as slaves.
Let's tell the whole story if we are going to tell it.
Immoral human beings are the issue and problem. Not one race vs another.
But that did not mean they should b treated that way
Hello
The thief comes only to still kill destroy I come to give life and to the full. John 10:10
Blah blah blah....
This is the worst crime ever done on the plannet.
Really, what makes it any different than any other slave ring? Is it worst than the millions of Europeans sold into slavery in North Africa, the Ottoman Empire and the middle east?
The use of the term "enslaved people" makes the whole tragedy into an eye-rolling woke trope.
this is why colin kapernick used the terms “poke and prod”
now i know why and now you do too
The same people who would do this back in the day are the same ones today saying “All lives matter.”
very very sad

As a privileged white kid my parents made me watch the entire Roots series and Amistad. Both of those movies were burned in my brain when I was young and I'm SO glad I knew of this because my school teachings simply touched on this topic. I just don't understand at such a sophisticated and enlightened level how you could justify this.
Does the series show the shores of Tripoli or Barbary Arab slave traders?
@@deeznutzdajjal no but that happened and they sucked as people, as well.
@@ANPennsylvania okay so just checking that I'm not mental also to think that we all should be in agreement that slavery is just wrong and we all should be getting along with each other regardless of race and all lives matter at this point in history.
@@deeznutzdajjal ...I can agree that "we all should be getting along with each other". But everyone understands that race, nationality, physical appearance and natural abilities are very important. I won't get a job at a strip club, but a beautiful young black woman will. She will not be hired for my position, but they did take me. :)) This is NATURE, something that is givven o us from upstairs, which is very difficult to change and is hard not to take into account. Am I a racist?
@@ANPennsylvania ... Could you tellus WHAT EXACTLY your parents were trying to explaine to you by making you to watch these films? What conclusions should you have drawn, what should you have understood?
Slavery is the worst evil to every happen in this world.
So sad!
how can humans do this to others. i don’t understand.
I cannot believe black people deal with this
candace owens said they did it to themselves...no big deal
Retaliation even now
nobody:
literally not one person:
me: iTs kUntA kiNtE
again how did we benefit?
No big deal. The Romans did it too. Nothing to be outraged about.
Idiot
how is this different
from the NFL Draft?
The draftees got $50 million paychecks waiting for them. That's why kids grow up dreaming of balls & hoops. Not plantations & whippings.

That you choose to be. Please leave your ignorant comments to yourself.
@@tammyjohnson4414 I don't choose they force me , ignoramus
Who are the savages here?!
I imagine there were always opponents to slavery. I imagine in those days when it was commonplace, they were regarded by the mainstream in much the same way we regard vegans nowadays.
We have come a long way collectively, but still have much to learn.
You can't compare veganism to slavery. Slavery is abolished because it was written "all men were created equal" in Constitution. And humans are omnivores in nature. It is common to eat other animals in the food chain.
@@johnlocke4695 I believe slavery was "abolished" (legally speaking) because people realised it was a horrible thing to do another living being.
Truth be told human slavery has not been abolished in actuality because it's still common place the world over. It continues because many people still think it's perfectly acceptable, including many of the slaves themselves! They fully consent to their slavery.
Same with eating animals. Most people find it perfectly acceptable. (That's the comparison I guess I am making & I think it is a legitimate one).
The interesting thing for me is that the general trend among the collective is away from this kind of parasitic behaviour. It may never be eradicated completely, (I don't think our future is "vegan", for example) but thankfully human parasitism tends to be less popular, & less extreme as time goes on.
Peace.
@@myfrequencies1912 No, your comparison isn't legitimate. Because humans eating non- veg isn't solely parasitic in nature. Because every animal depends on other animals. Even god (Jesus) isn't a vegan. I'm Indian and so many people practice veganism since ancient times, its a part of their tradition. And yet the majority of people eating non - veg in India. My point is the same thing will happen to the entire world. Small groups of people may practice veganism in future but non- veg isn't going anywhere or it won't be criminalized like slavery was.
@@johnlocke4695 Well you've got to do what's right for you.
Speaking for myself I try to eat as little animal products as possible & I try not to support corporations that exploit their workforces (slavery).
@@myfrequencies1912 well. Corporations are paying money to employees for work, isn't it? I agree there is a bargain issue on minimum wage. But you should look both sides. For example amazon is biggest company in the world with $1 trillion dollars. But in reality amazon don't have trillion dollars because trillion dollars is just valuation. There profit will be only in billions after all expenses and reinvestment. And they too have competition thats what keeping them better, so we can't expect them to pay higher always. Recently jeff bezos got $24 billion richer but he could loss that money in days if amazon stock price goes down.
I'm too crippled know where the Kamasutra auction is Whitehouse like normal.... What's left of Eric
Took 400 years to fight back how sad
I don't think we're going to say it's o.k! We're more then them and stronger, it's not o.k! 400yrs enough is enough!! God said his doing everything and said don't be afraid have courage! We disobeyed God,fear not.💪💪✊✊🙏🙏🙏 with God help nothing impossible!!Please trust in the Lord.
