- VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng explores how the City of London and its financial institutions profited from slavery in America long after the slave trade was abolished.
Empires of Dirt is a show about Europeans getting rich at the expense of everyone else. VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng uncovers the ugly history of the European colonial empires they don’t teach us in schools.
Countries around the world were looted for their treasures, people were oppressed and exploited and European powers relentlessly profited. The far-reaching repercussions of colonialism are all around us, from our financial institutions to the food we have in our cupboards at home - and it’s about time we took notice.
Watch the next episode from Empires of Dirt, in which we look at how Britain stole $45 trillion from India during its long and oppressive rule: • How Britain Stole $45 ...

More than 500 top business and government leaders will attend the second iteration of the New Economy Forum, hosted by Bloomberg’s company and a Chinese government-backed think tank from November 20 to 22, according to a statement by Bloomberg Media Group. www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3010944/michael-bloomberg-host-second-edition-new-economy-forum
“Bloomberg LP doesn’t make money in China only by selling terminals. Through its massive Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Bloomberg LP is helping finance Chinese companies by sending billions of U.S. investor dollars into the Chinese bond market.
“This year, the index began a 20-month plan to support 364 Chinese firms by directing an estimated $150 billion into their bond offerings, including 159 controlled directly by the Chinese government. Bloomberg, along with other Wall Street firms, is effectively supporting the Chinese government’s efforts to resist the U.S. government’s economic pressure, while exposing American investors to increased risk.”

Li Zixue said at a panel discussion of the New Economy Forum in Beijing that 5G technologies will reshape a wide range of sectors and bring changes to the global telecom supply chains. Chairman of ZTE Corp, a major Chinese telecom equipment maker, called on the global community to adopt an open, collaborative and win-win approach to 5G, as the superfast technology is at the tipping point for commercial application.

WUHAN, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- The branches of Chinese major telecom operators in central China's Hubei Province announced Thursday the launch of commercial 5G applications in the province.
Wuhan City, the capital of Hubei, is expected to have 10,000 5G base stations by the end of 2019, said Song Qizhu, head of Hubei Provincial Communication Administration.

China is stepping up its 5G network construction as part of “new infrastructure” investments to spur its virus-hit economy and meet the long-term goal of becoming a leading high-tech innovator.
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) expects the country to build and operate 600,000 5G base stations by the end of this year. At the end of Q1 2020, China had already established 198,000 5G base stations, covering over 50 cities. www.china-briefing.com/news/covid-19-china-5g-commercial-use-which-industries-benefit/

The UK lost its shirt in India. Many private enterprises made money, but the empire lost. Britain had an empire because it was rich. The Germans caught up so quickly because they had no empire leeching off its treasury.
With the exception of the Spanish, with their unique bullion-producing colonies in the new world, the rest of Europe simply raped their populations to pay for extravagant empires that were worthless.
Thank the Gods that the US was never so foolish as to fully take up “the white man’s burden,” which is why we had the means to save Europe from their colony-less oppressor, and later defeat the pauper USSR with its expensive colonies throughout the world.
And yes, I am aware of the US’s horrendous treatment of domestic minorities (African, indigenous, and Asian), but however immoral, the US as well as Germany had massive economic advantages in not having a treasury-bleeding empire to sustain

I never owned a slave and ive never meet a slave. So who pays and who gets money?
the phone you're watching this on is made by modern day slaves in sweatshops, not to mention the clothes your wearing. Slavery was an atrocity as is most of human history but people will eventually look back on us the same way we look back on our ancestors.
PREACH!
Exactly, it's capitalist wage slavery.
Sweatshops are just an example of the Raw Naked Brutality of capitalism fully exposed.
But don't be fooled, minimum wage jobs (all jobs under a boss in fact) in the west are an example of the same brutality just masked by Neoliberal bullshit.
In fact i was speaking to some Neolibs on reddit and they said that sweatshops are actually good because the workers earn more money than they did previously farming.
They're literally saying that some 14 year old girl breaking her body and spirit on 14 hour shifts 7 days a week for an extra $1.20 a day is progress.
I'm sorry but if that's the capitalist system working well then it's quite clearly an evil system.
Therefore saying thay socialism can't work because huh duh HuMaN nAtUrE is basically saying that human nature is inherently evil. Seriously Capitalism is a Fucking disease, keep distant don't let it infect your mind.
The current world has more slaves than before
if the world chooses socialism --> communism path, ya, what you said will happen
but if the world is just doing present neoliberal global capitalism, there will be even more slaves in future
EXACTLY
Thats the fault of communist China not having laws against it.
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.” -Thomas Jefferson

If you want to read one of best books on this read “Black and British A Forgotten History” by David Olusoga. It’s a fantastic book and he’s goes much more into detail about the slave trade, racism and history of the colonial empire of the British in Africa and it’s subjects
If people are really interested in righting the wrongs of slavery, start by not supporting companies that currently employ exploited people. Historical slavery is virtually important to understand, but current slavery can actually be stopped. If we're going to pay reparations, let's start by helping those currently enslaved. Look at the manufacturing practices of most large corporations and ask yourself if you're truly cool with supporting what they do. Slavery is an ongoing issue... it's time we eliminate the extant problem and mitigate the historical fallout.

What is the point of the video? What is it trying to achieve? It is amusing to see how she is looking at the past and judging it with a modern lens. Slavery was widespread back then. Every piece of dirt except on Antarctica had slavery. Banks across the world profited from slavery as back then it was a legitimate business. It is very disingenuous to constantly look at the western nations and blame colonialism for anything and everything. What we ought to do is fight slavery that is rampant today. Not focus on the transgression of the past where no one alive is responsible or took part in.
That's not the point. The point is how these companies were still profiting from slavery all these years later at the tax payers expense

Shocked that the amount of money paid out only ended in 2015, rather than being shocked that Britain as a nation PAID people to free their slaves. Do you know of any greater righteous act by any government in the worlds history? I suppose people could also say that a greater act was from those who sailed the sea's to free slaves and end the slave trade. But it was britain alone that did that. Welcome to reality.
@@dtrez3866 you mean the people in power stole taxes from their citizens to pay off slave owners. The very same class of people protecting each other is what that is. You call that "righteous"? Righteous would have been to not pay a damn cent and let the profiteers of human misery go to the wall on the basis of market forces so revered by big business.
@@LinguisticLifeform "stole taxes from their citizens to pay off slave owners"
Stole? Why did they pay them off? They were paying compensation so that those enslaved can be made free. You sound like you'd have prefered that people were kept enslaved.
"You call that righteous?"
No, i do not call the strawman that you just created "righteous". What i call righteous is people paying other people in order to free their slaves. I know it hurt your twisted soul and debunks your fictional narratives, but its still the reality. Deal wid it.
And if, as you claim, they were just "protecting" those peoples interests, then why even pay them to free the slaves, why not just allow them to carry on enslaving africans? That would have saved the government money and the slave owners would have been "protected", puppet.

This used to be an outlet with cool dangerous and undercover journalism. It is a shame it went down to populist agenda. Next time you buy bread, ask if baker's ancestors were involved in slave trade. At least could have picked a journalist who is not Singaporean, Asia's center for human trafficking, i.e. modern slavery. Same logic.
ibould call this socialist
Not "Banks" or "Our Banks" ..
Straight up YOUR BANK ..
The title is kinda passive aggressive
not my Swedish bank 😳
Its just a way to get the audiences attention not everything is out to get you
It explains a lot about why our society is so sick. It's better than it was, but the work is definitly not done
Statements from the banks only talk about inclusivity of BAME community, never about compensation to those enslaved.
Let us hold your money so we can loan it out at 15+ % and charge you to use your money...
it is clear ypu havmt taken many loans out yet
Sky Leonidas nope. Only a mortgage
fyi, banks don't actually use your money for loans. When you take a loan, the amount in your account is created out of thin air. Banks also don't "hold your money", when you make a deposit you *give* the money to the bank and the amount in your account is how much the bank *owes* you. This is called debt based economy. New money is created by loans.
YAWN 😴
vice deleted my comment because i said that you don’t deserve reparations for something that happened to people you didn’t even know
oh
because this might be so stupid, that it's worth deleting? how about the continuity in history? where do the riches of europe come from? huh? bro, don't be so ignorant
@@fatalmystic got a point there.
Well african countries sold their people to slavery.. so Africa profited the most.. atleast europeans did smth with the profit
This might be the dumbest take on this topic I've ever heard.
@@TamaHAHA elaborate?
I would really love to know where all the money went from the east india company and how there descendants are spending it!!!!
not even surprised at this point
it a whiteman bank so yeh
This is what we need to learn in our public schools.
Yessssssssssss
Maybe we need to get a time machine and fix all the past sins.
that would make a fuked up feed back situation
You could but it will rewrite history and you will never have been born
Victor Supreme Or you step on an ant and porn ceases to exist
@@AndrewDoom Oh the horror
Every rich place , every empire is build on toil and hard work other people, be it slaves, or low paying workers/farmers, servants, slaves - captured/indentured . This isn't surprising, given that for someone to bathe in luxury, somewhere someplace people's blood & sweat be used. Without other people's support its simply not possible to have luxury. It's just that cycle of power will keep on rotating.
Boo_Hoo. History sux eh? The Chinese Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) maintained an average of 2 million slaves, many of them castrated as boys for the guild of eunuchs! But we don't talk about that etc etc...
Just watched 12 years a slave & this is in recommendation from RUclips
I’m sorry maybe y’all in England should’ve had a civil war instead? Lol 🤷🏽♂️ pendeja
We did
we had that too
Yasser Abdal whats it called so I can study up on it?
@@andresc1143 I agree that compensation she complains about was the British literally buying peoples freedom.
Nothing can change the past we just have to teach ourselves and the next generation of our mistakes. So it dosent repeat.

The current world has more slaves than before
if the world chooses socialism --> communism path, ya, what you said will happen
but if the world is just doing present neoliberal global capitalism, there will be even more slaves in future
Get reparations from the ancestors of the people who bought the cotton and sugar the entire British population.
NO FROM THE BANKERS! THE FEDERAL UNION!
why are you talking about ancestors when you yourself buy clothes and electronics manufactured by effectively slave labour in china? instead of waxing lyrical donate your money to foxconn employees
@@AlexRoseGames to even ask Why are we recognizing what was done to my people is a sign u are not on the right side....u have a blessed day.
The Light show bro you were doing it a lot longer to yourselves before any white man came along the white guy bought you off your brothers
@@ROCCBOTTOM405 she didn't say the slave owners, she said the people who simply BOUGHT THE PRODUCTS
if my ancestors who never owned slaves are evil just because they bought sugar, you are just as evil for buying iphones. Give everything you own to china
I love your content. Its the naked truth. You are brave.
Can you cover on why 'The' UK gives safe harbours to tax, drug fugitives from developing countries?
Lol. Was there any single country on this planet which didn't profit from slavery? Anyone knows country which wasn't built on slavery? I don't. One thing sure about British though that they abolished that institution first.
there are more slaves today then there ever were in history...let that sink in...
Thank you for sharing the knowledge vice 🔥
They will always bat an eyelid over this, nothing they say can compensate for what they did. Justice will come to oppressors in the next life. Yes on that day they will regret what they did just for a few more coins. If only they knew, if only ...
*Lol, you want to start a war or something..?!*
The Chinese? The Arabs?Squeaky clean.
Anbody who ignores industrialization as a reason for wealth generation has no argument. Slavery was horrible, but machines are what lead to western dominance.
Video should be named: How Your Banks Make Money Today
You got a little typo there in the title: *make*
The Atlantic slave trade aka the transatlantic slave trade actually started in the early 1500s. It was also in the early 1500s not 1619 when the first Black African slaves were brought to what is now the United States of America.
The Royal Exchange was never used for stock/share trading...
What do you forget to mention is the fact that their own brethren sold them into slavery
Shhhh, facts are racist.
@Baskett nah every race been buying slaves at the time and only whites never sold them ..and even started buying them when everybody else been doing it, whites came to the existed for a long time market if youre still convinced that theres such thing as white guilt then go to prison fro buying drugs instead of your drug dealer wont ya?
Do you think they had a choice??? And you sound like someone getting charged for having drugs and saying “well someone sold them to me” in a response for why they shouldn’t be charged. Just stupid. Stop trying to justify slavery
Slavery apologists
Ccmitch What about that analogy is flawed? You guys are trying to somewhat justify white people in America having slaves by saying Africans sold them to the white people like it in any way changes the fact that white peoples owned and enslaved blacks for centuries in our country. Like you guys say “Slavery was bad but.....” there are no buts. Accept that it happened and take ownership that a large portion of white Americans ancestors were pro slavery and/or slavery owners. There is no getting around it no matter who sold them to you
I don't have a bank.
Slavery still exists in China, the Islamic world and Africa.
3:58 just by looking at him, you can tell.
The Bible talks about how you should treat your slaves - just in case you wondered how long slavery has existed.
Several thousand years before that
@Digital Marketiiing The Bible is a book. I don't think the book could be a satanic cult by definition. But I was simply using it as a reference for a timetable.
Start naming bankers names, -bergs, -steins, etc. But sure blame the people who are forced to use the already established banks
