      It's a damn shame all of those blacks sold blacks into slavery to black slave owners. If only the first slave owner in America, who was black, had been stopped. It's surprising how few people realize blacks are more likely to be descendants of blacks who owed slaves that whites are to have owned slaves. They never lie about this fact. They just never tell you the truth. It's a lie of omission. Blacks owe blacks reparations and affirmative action.

      @@danielh8569 ehh, what? This term was used in an interpretation of Draxt-i-Asurag(ig) which was a Persian poem written originally in Pahlawanig (an inspiration for Middle Persian). If anything, it resembles absolutist ideas of Parthian or Achaemenid Persians by extension, especially considering how they outlawed slavery when the greeks were practicing it left, right and centre.
      Normally, when credit (as usual) is taken away from ancient Persians and given to some loud, angry revisionists, I'd be angry. But today, I choose to be better, and not bitter.

That's why he can hold such interview with such serious tone and still be funny without being offensive. In United States, people still find it hard to have this topic talked about,. And Conan goes directly where it all began,. And talked about it and discussed it, and showed the world about it. Gotta love Conan

    I never considered what it would feel like not having a more solid idea of where one's ancestors come from. I think fondly of Ireland and enjoy hearing stories about their immigration to the U.S. and about the country of Ireland today. If I didn't have something like that, I think I'd be missing one of the more enjoyable aspects of my identity that connect to the people who came before me. This was great to see.

      Yeah, it was a real eye opener for me. Personally, I really don't care much about my ancestry, I know I have some Swiss, Irish and English in my family, but I don't really care about the heritage of it because I don't really consider it my heritage, personally (not to deride those people, I just never experienced it first hand). But I take it for granted that, if I wanted to, I'd wager I would have a shot of tracking my ancestry.
      These people don't have that option. Because their ancestors were treated as commodities. It's really quite sad. But it's nice to see them find a way to cope with that uncertainty.

    There are so many aspects to everything in the video.
    1) First of all this is less about Conan and more about the crucial period of time in Ghanian History. Conan LISTENED. Everyone should note that. Without jutting in he let everyone speak and listened.
    2) I am an Indian but this moved me as well. Maybe we don't have a Slave history with Africa in general but the oppression faced from the colonies which really moved me as it reminded me of all the stories that I heard from my elders.
    3) It's a beautiful thing to see that the youth are taking this seriously. And understand this.
    4) Lastly: 'It's important to leave better and not bitter' is a lesson in life. ❤
