The sad thing is our brothers and sisters in America think Africans left in the continent had it easy. Take it like this. A group of people got to Africa saw all the wealth and wanted all of it for themselves. The only problem is they don't want to mine it and also don't want to build and adorn houses. So they split the group - the bigger group is left digging all these minerals, the smaller group is then taken to make Paradise for them. That to me makes more sense. And the reason it was easy to subject this big land is because they had advanced weapons.
I love when you dissect this unending situation that came about years ago and we still have not corrected it. Thank you for your the good work you are doing.
Thank you Jay for your inspiration of a formally black gang youth who has traveled to 🇧🇯 Benin west africa.and has returned in love with his visit of our peoples in West Africa..he stated now he understands what we have lost as a people..He definitely plans to vist several more parts until he will one day get out of the USA..
Hi Jay! This show was a Blockbuster! You really went into full explanation!;! I'm sharing this with my friends and family! And I think it is Awesome that you are encouraging our elders to travel! You have helped them to reconnect with their roots and revitalize their lives.
Greetings brother. I will be doing one of your tours next year after my wife and I settle in The Gambia this year. Your tours look absolutely amazing and really looking forward to being on one next year. Blessings from us in the UK 🙏🏾💯✊🏾. Keep up the RUclips videos, they are very inspiring.
I learned today that you met and interviewed Jerry Johnson in panorama and toured his famous Wall. This man's knowledge and wisdom and commitment to the solvency of Africans world wide needs to be known. I hope you will post it soon. Peace and Blessings
Jay I'm a ghanian born and raised in ghana🇬🇭that's the problem i was sharing among friends when i first travel outside Africa.thank you very much for teaching the truth about us.may almighty Allah shower his blessing upon you.
I approve this message... I like the fact that Haiti made Haitian Kreyol and official language which must be incorporated in all official meatings and ceremonies. The school system have mandated that all school/educational courses must be provoded in the native language of Kreyol. I just wish that the self inflicted violence and lack of desire to become self sufficient would be decimated. To usher in a sense of pride and sustainability the mind has to change.
I'm proud to see your growth. A year ago we discussed the selling of Africans by Africans. I said, yes it happened but at a rate that was small especially when they didn't see their families and friends returning. Peace and Blessings
All of Africa never participated in slavery or even on a consistent basis. Many states rejected and resisted the European coercion, some successful and many not so successful. The Edo king for example was nearly assassinated for refusing to help the Dutch retrieve runaway slaves. Islam also played a major role, in perverting the loyalty of some states, who under the banner of Islam / jihad would participate in raids converting and enslaving the unconverted. We must remember, the ruling powers of this world need us divided (weakened), our history is not perfect, but our ancestors never wished generational slavery on each other.
The term used to reduce African Indigenous Languages is "Vernacular". An important read is the classic literary work The 'Beautyful One's Are Not Yet Born', I think the book is publish 1959 in Ghana when Kwame Nkruma instituted the ideal "African Personality" until he had to escape for his life. Black does not define Blackness.
The thing about being able to compete in the world because of what language you speak, and that language is foreign, means that you have made it easier for the people who own that language to access your markets but, because you can easily be identified by your accent and color, you don't have the same access to their markets. You have also given them a leg up in any business between you because learning a language means you also acquire some of its associated culture.
Aww such amazing insight bro! Your perspective is very broad and staggering! Deconstructing and reconstructing going on here! Thanks man keep up the great work
Many so called "Africa American" slaves were forced to convert to Islam by the Arabs or be killed during a time of persecution and invasion. These were the original Hebrews. When taken to the usa they could either retain their Islamic forced identity or take on the forced Catholic Christian religion. The tribe and kingdom of judah was on the west coast of Africa in negro land. The 1747 map shows this information. However because history especially history of slaves have been covered up extensively most ppl dont know where to start. Lets start with the truth. The ships show the names of the ppl taken. Yah or david or yahya were some of the family names. Dna has proven that the negros are linked to the west coast of Africa and other tribes in and around Africa but not related to the Africans. So called negros in the usa and scattered aboard are not African. Many during persecution ran into Africa and surrounding areas to blend in. Black Hebrews/Jews are still living in Africa and the surrounding areas. They still practice their Faith and statutes generation after generation. Dna has also proven this. Lemba tribe, igbo/heebo/tribe. Portugal was responsible for taking many black jews to St Tomas. When they wouldn't convert to Christianity only to be sold to other countries. This information is well documented. These ppl were forced into other religions and given other names to hide their identity. Its slowly being revealed. Time reveals all things and whats done in the dark will come to light. African Americans are not African... Most are descendants of Hebrews slaves. Do your research the information is out there now. Thats why he doesn't care its not his ppl. They know it we know it. They are Hametic.. Shem is the line slaves come from.While the Japheths benefit from it all.. History repeatedly repeats itself. Egyptians enslaved the Israelites all over again. Then Rome conquers all eventually. Africans sold negros/heebos/igbos/hebrews into slavery to the Europeans. Europeans then enslaved and colonized Africa and Eventually everyone who sold slaves. The Arabs too they sold the Hebrews after invading their lands. I mean do the research.
HI JAY L💜VE YOUR W🌍RK. What i’ve observed & experienced is that when AA visit AFRIKA, AA are welcomed, however, when natives of Africa comes to USA, they intentionally avoid AAs. I would say both should seek to understand & resist disregarding each other.The immigrants come to reap the benefits afforded due to suffrage of AA which is of utmost disrespectful. They do not know our history, however due to the fact an individual looks like me & is creation of TMH, I’d seek who are these my brothers & sisters. Also, i think as AFRICANS we disregard each other as a whole, no we are not united & everyone knows it, to our detriment, yet we are very spiritual & very educated…hmm 🙏🏾O MOST HIGH, FORGIVE & HELP US🕊 🎼🌍NE L💜VE 💕UBUNTU🙌🏾🥰🤗😘
Africans sold other africans into slavery is indeed a fact and french, spanish, english who bought them starting in the ghanna area. Lots of documents prove this is indeed real and 2 sides did wrong, as buying or selling a human being is terrible.
Africans were made to believe so, the same way they were told a man looking like their very oppressors would come and save them, centuries ago. When those yt ppl arrived in Africa, they were loaded with guns and canons. You don't trade with weapons. They stole. Remember too, slavery started in the Americas, not in Africa. The Natives didn't sell nothing, they were robbed, ransacked, plundered and looted. Just think!
Africans living today apologising because they feel the pains of your ancestors went through...yes ancestors because l have ancestors whom died fighting against enslaving of their people..
On behalf of the Zulus, I would apologize that Shaka Zulu used a bad strategy to unify black people. He killed his own people that were resistant and that meant those that joined the Zulus only did that out of fear. But I don't know anyone sold by South Africans, I could be wrong.
Andrew Steinmetz · 1842 · The unfortunate Africans fled from the coast , and sought , in the interior part of the country , a retreat from the persecution of their invaders : but the Europeans still pursued them ; they entered their rivers , sailed up into thesailed up into the heart of the country , surprised the Africans in their recesses , and carried them into slavery
Exactly not all africans participated in selling of their own people so when people generalize it it's really sad.some of our ancestors actually died struggling trying to save their families 😢
If Africans did indeed sell their own, wouldn't there be the riches thereoff to prove it? All those places in Africa where Africans had supposedly sold their own people into slavery were and stil are among the poorest. Conversely, Europeans that practiced the slave trade still have that generational wealth they built up from slavery. English cities such as Birmingham and Liverpool were built upon slavery, in France, Bordeaux, Le Havre, Nantes, just to name a few, prospered because of the slave trade, so did every port city in Netherland. Most Africans that went into slavery were captured by heavily armed white slave hunters. in what they called "razzias". Those that were sold by Africans were prisoners of tribal wars, and they were a minority. Americans and Europeans started shifting the narrative in the early eighties, erazing the white slave hunters and replacing them solely by "Africans selling Africans". I wonder how come African Americans will believe the word of the very people who made them go through so much, unspeakable atrocities, and who up to this day are bent on not yet being done with them. If African Americans believe white folks when they say all they did was "buy Africans sold by other Africans", they might as well agree with those white folks when they call them inferior and lazy. I do not subscribe to either, for I will not believe a single word that comes form the mouth of an evil people.
1. Black Africans were basically peaceful and did not bother each other Moroccans or "Moors" came down and set themselves up as rulers over the Blacks. 2. But then a Black Muslim convert overthrew the Moors and made conquests of his own. 3. The Portuguese arrived and they raided. All the Europeans raided. 4. This caused people to flee inland, but the Europeans went inland to get people.
5. Now the raiding was too risky so the Europeans who had built literal strongholds on the coast. They made treaties with the chiefs which seemed reasonable at first. The deal was you give us your criminals or POWs and we'll give you luxury goods.
THOUGHTS UPON SLAVERY. I. BY slavery I mean domestic slavery, or that of a servant to a master. A late ingenious writer well observes, "The variety of forms in which slavery appears, makes it almost impossible to convey a just notion of it, by way of definition. There are however certain properties which have accompanied slavery in most places, whereby it is easily distinguished from that mild domestic service which obtains in our own country*." * See Mr. Hargrave's plea for Somerset the negro. 2. Slavery imports an obligation of perpetual service, an obligation which only Page 4 the consent of the master can dissolve. Neither in some countries can the master himself dissolve it without the consent of judges appointed by law. It generally gives the master an arbitrary power of any correction not affecting life or limb.--Sometimes even these are exposed to his will: or protected only by a fine, or some slight punishment, too insiconderable to restrain a master of an harsh temper. It creates an incapacity of acquiring anything, except for the master's benefit. It allows the master to alienate the slave, in the same manner as his cows and horses. Lastly, it descends in its full extent from parent to child, even to the latest generation. The beginning of this may be dated from the remotest period, of which we have an account in history. It commenced in the barbarous state of society, and in process of time spread into all nations. It prevailed particularly among the Jews, the Greeks, the Romans, and the antient Germans: And was transmitted by them, to the various kingdoms and states, which arose out of the ruins of the Roman empire. But after christianity prevailed, it gradually fell into decline in almost all parts of Europe. This great change began in Spain, about the end of the eighth century: Page 5 And was become general in most other kingdoms of Europe, before the middle of the fourteenth. 4. From this time slavery was nearly extinct, till the commencement of the fifteenth century, when the discovery of America, and of the western and eastern coasts of Africa, gave occasion to the revival of it. It took its rise from the Portuguese, who to supply the Spaniards with men, to cultivate their new possessions in America, procured negroes from Africa, whom they sold for slaves to the American Spaniards. This began in the year 1508, when they imported the first negroes into Hispaniola. In 1540 Charles the fifth, then king of Spain, determined to put an end to negro-slavery: Giving positive orders, That all the negro slaves in the Spanish dominions should be set free. And this was accordingly done by Lagasea, whom he sent and impowered to free them all, on condition of continuing to labour for their masters. But soon after Lagasea returned to Spain, slavery returned and flourished as before. Afterwards other nations, as they acquired possessions in America, followed the examples of the Spaniards; and slavery has now taken deep root in most of our American colonies.
Page 17 2. It was some time before the Europeans found a more compendious way of procuring African slaves, by prevailing upon them to make war upon each other, and to sell their prisoners.--Till then they seldom had any wars: But were in general quiet and peaceable. But the white men first taught them drunkenness and avarice, and then hired them to sell one another. Nay, by this means, even their kings are induced to sell their own subjects
Slavery has existed in EVERY culture. However, the transatlantic slavery carried out by the Europeans (with Africans being the victims) was different. The slavery that existed in Africa prior or in many other places was one due to things like war & becoming a prisoner of war etc & then becoming a servant. However, in many cases, people could buy their way out eventually after working for a period of time. Secondly, the type of slavery that typically existed in Africa prior wasn't hereditary i.e. The children of slaves were not automatically slaves simply because their parents were slaves. On the other hand, the European enslavement of Africans(the TRANS-ATLANTIC slavery) was different & evil on a different kind of big scale. Firstly, the African slaves were kidnapped & were stacked in ships like cargo & shipped to the America's like that for trips that lasted months. Google images showing what the ship arrangements looked like for yourself. There was no way many human beings could survive that stacking. Secondly, the trans-atlantic slavery was GENERATIONAL. ie. All descendants of slaves were slaves too & continued to be slaves till eternity(until it was eventually abolished). Also in the trans-atlantic slavery, slaves were obviously just commodities that could be "gifted" to children, to politicians etc. ALL OF THESE HAPPENED OUTSIDE AFRICA after the slaves had been taken to "the new world" (Africans didn't aid those) , so When I hear people try to change the narrative & say "Africans sold Africans" , I also say "This didn't happen to Africans alone. The same Europeans that carried out these atrocities against Africans still did the same thing to the natives when they(Europeans) got to the "new world" (North & South Americas). The native Americans that occupied 2 whole continents were virtually exterminated that they barely exist today(at least the African race still exists, thankfully). Going by the false narrative of "Africans sold Africans", did the native Americans also aid the Europeans' extermination of the native Americans? We all know what the Europeans ALSO did to the native Americans.
In America we have been taught to see Native as these noble victims who fought the White man but were just out gunned. This is simplistic and false. Native Americans actually fought captured and sold other Natives. There was a whole Indian slave trade that overlapped the African one.
When the Spanish reached the Caribbean they enslaved the people they also brought diseases which killed many many people. Then they took the women who survived and had mixed children with them.
Now swing on over to America. The north American mainland. The Europeans get into trading animal skins but also prisoners who the Europeans either capture themselves or get from the Indians who do what Africans did. So while ships are coming with Africans Indians are going to the Caribbean and Bermuda
They sold us let go it’s fact it’s documented and chiefs Ghana 🇬🇭 even documented the problem is people just need to face the elephant in room and keep pushing instead of people lie deny etc I think it just adds to the cut not heal-you heal being truth and truth to ya self
exactly - honestly, the 'Africans sold Africans' is not even pushed that much in the West. I did not learn that fact until I was out of school and researched myself...they do not teach that in schools
Fabulous…the Europeans introduced chattel slavery to Africa and that’s a fact. Africans sold Africans into transatlantic slave trade because the Europeans instigated it by pitching Africans against each other and taking captives away. If you can’t simply understand that slave trade across the Atlantic wouldn’t have happened had the Europeans not gone to Africa for that, then you’ve been brainwashed. Stop buying the European narrative and excuse.
Changing the narrative it's okay long as the change is correct but to tell it all out non truth and state that it is fact is no better than those that stayed a false narrative. And just to keep it honest the only people that have told me negative things about Africa itself has been my own people giving negative narrative of Africa I personally haven't yet in my 55 year have heard, or been told by a white American. It's not their job to promote after Africa or mine to listen to their opinion for what they think. But for one thing I have witness for myself being called the N word and told to go back to Africa which was said from a great distance, one country I have never been yet to this day hopefully to visit.🌄🦍
African Americans and Native American Indians were beaten to learn English. I remember reading a narrative about a young girl that was enslaved in the America's by the English who beat her because she couldn't speak English. Then they sold her to a Dutch man in a Dutch American Colony and he beat her because she couldn't speak Dutch. The same people have done the same thing all over the world.
@Izzy Malik I am definitely aware and not afraid to admit that there was an Arab/Islamic slave trade, there was an inter continental African form of servitude, and indigenous Indian Americans owned slaves. Nevertheless, because certain European groups had invaded and infiltrated Arab, African and Indian American lands, and had co-opted and corrupted the bloodlines of all the latter, it's still a strong possibility that Europeans were part and parcel of each one of these systems of bondage, with the exception of the African inter-continental system ( which is still up for debate).
@Sara Hicks No, maybe you need to go back and review your history! Because, although, there has been a concerted effort and deceptive practice in western narratives, to divide Africa into regions and separate North, East and South Africa from West Africa, to make it appear as if what was happening in West Africa was somehow disconnected from what was happening in other parts of Africa and in Western Europe, the Mediterranean and Asia (the Middle East); the record clearly states that this is not true and the west African slave trade was only a continuation of the European/European Arab invasion of the African continent that started way back BCE. And, furthermore how do we know African were enslaving each other? Who said that? The European enslavers claim they never made into the interior of Africa, so how in the h*ll did they know what was going on? And, even if it was true, 400 years ( which by the way seems like b.s.) is a very short time compared to the thousands of years that Europeans had been invading, wagging war, conquering and enslaving other Europeans and other people in the world, including Africans. You accuse Africans of enslaving each other, but somehow you forget to mention that Europeans were enslaving each other too. However, your crafty scholars call it the Barbary trade instead of the European slave trade so that it looks as if this is not white on white slavery....and I could also go on and on about this so-called system of European indentured servitude ( slavery), but I won't...I think enough has been said.
Paul Cuffey Anthony Johnson William Ellison Jr. Antione Dublecet The list is rather long.... It's all public knowledge. Might I add Oprah Winfrey has 2.1 Billion and counting. Just saying 😌
THE WORD slave has not, the same meaning from Europe that's where it comes from.I think in Africa they talk about somebody who don't know freedom but not on a color of skin ,it's like the anciens egyptiens were black and according to historiens and architectes ; slaves don't build pyramides ! only free blacks men could do so !
I think we do need one African language though. But maybe, let it not be we chose this one because it is widely spoken but we can agree that as a way to unify black people, those tribes that will be pushing to unify tribes, etc should be honoured by Africans choosing their language. In that way, every language has a fair chance to loose on their own. Let us evangelise peace among African brothers, cleaning out drugs, etc. Let those with money invest in uplifting others, etc. Everyone who contributes can be promised a reward in this life. As for heaven, God will take care of that part
African Union decided on Kiswahili which is the widest spoken language in Africa across 10 countries. A resolution was passed to teach Kiswahili in respoective countries.
No my brother, if we all speak only one language it will be to their advantage. Africans in general speak several languages so we can communicate with each other. Swahili has been chosen to be the common language of Africa by the AU.
Thank you Jay. One thing I have always thought was, even if some Africans sold the others, I can bet my bottom dollar that they had no idea of the horrific ordeals the 'slaves' were going to go through. They treated their own slaves with dignity and m sure they thought that is how they were going to be treated. I am sure the YTs promised untold riches were going to be their reward. Remember fathers even sent their sons there, same way we are sending our children to diaspora for education. Had it not been for the social media and internet during the pandemic and the war, would we have known how our pple are viewed and treated our there 🤔. We need to put our thinking caps on and determine who is playing the Divide and Conquer evil game?
Bruh the Congo literally Showed colonials their method. Today right now in lybia captives from war and conflict are being sold by middle eastern and African militias, like can you actually do some research first its proven
@@2thumms487 i get you, but do you honestly think the Africans knew that the slaves were going to be lynched with a whole grp of people cheering? Or that their babies made to be gator baits? Or receive sometimes 250 lashes, or raped by a mob of yt adolescents, or put to breeding farms. Are you saying these African chiefs knew about all this?
Check out Zenieb Badawi a Sudanese sis who did the African perspective of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. She interviewed African academia, historians and the Slave castle prisons cell directors. They admitted in details to selling our ancestors and why. Straight out of the horse's mouth. Why Ghana apologized. Many of the African country scholars said they knew they weren't sending us to garden parties while smirking.
Africans were made to believe so, the same way they were told a man looking like their very oppressors would come and save them, centuries ago. When those yt ppl arrived in Africa, they were loaded with guns and canons. You don't trade with weapons. They stole. Remember too, slavery started in the Americas, not in Africa. The Natives didn't sell nothing, they were robbed, ransacked, plundered and looted. Just think!
Africans sold Africans and so what?? Africans didn't sell Europeans nor Indians or Chinese.Therefore Africans sold themselves....So what's your problem??
Seem that documentary and as usual it was not historical accurate portrayal of events but as for Africans living today apologising...there is nothing worng ...even if it's the after effects of what happened.
I watched a very big African American RUclipsr, who up till now harbors a conviction that West Africa sold them into slavery and for which reason he will not visit West Africa, even if he will, it will be Liberia, and for Ghana, he will never wanna have anything to do with Ghana because Ghana played a pivotal role in the slave trade and that he was very angry with West Africa, especially Ghana. Can you imagine? These African American guys are big on youtube. One of them is currently based in Uganda while the other one is still in the States, and I thought they were supposed to know better. Upon several attempts to bridge the gap, many still harboring mindsets that West Africans sold them into slavery and so they are angry with West Africa especially Ghana. Some people need more education otherwise they have a long way to go.
@@jaycameronofficial Ghana formally apologized for their role as a nation who sold us to Caucasians- it’s actually easily found and I’ll post it here too. Nigerians call us akaata which is same as when Caucasians call us niggers. And Senegal sold us too and Mali and Ivory Coast.
@@jerronwesley4473 How can Ghana apologize for a crime that was committed when she didn't exist. And for being called Akata, it's no big deal as most of us bare it as a last name. Specifically my colleague who lives just 200m away from me is called Akata. So why take offense.
@@jerronwesley4473: The Yorubas first called black Americans Akata because of the Black Panther Party. Black Panther is Akata in Yoruba; the fact that some people think it's derogatory does not make it so. In the 70s and 80s, some Nigerians used to refer to their black American wives as Akata; if it's a dirty word, they wouldn't have done so. Akata has also been used for first generation Nigerian Americans. It's the movie featuring Wesley Snipes that translated Akata as cotton picker that is largely responsible for the discord we are dealing with right now. Most Africans do not use the Akata word to refer to black Americans; so I advise those who still do to stop since the word has been corrupted or misunderstood.
@Paintsil Desmond: I think you are referring to Phil Scott and Oshay Duke Jackson. Phil Scott thinks he's more important than he really is. Who gains from him visiting West Africa? Life goes on there with or without him.
Africans didn't sell Africans into slavery, understood. Then who is the African sell,if thou canst tell? You will find that Tyre, and Zidon, are from the seed of ham, hams lineage are the Africans that sold Israelites into slavery. Joel 3:4-6 [4]Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head; [5]Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: [6]The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
Which of the ethnic nations from the continent that are documented by those who took the most for the longest, the Portuguese or Spanish, make the claim themselves that they are Israelites? I is complete BioShock o believe that Israelites were sold as a block, when there is the presence of over 100 ethnic nations that is documented in he west , along with a diversity of spiritual systems.
I could talk about the slavery happening in the US steps away from the White House that’s still happening but your western eyes have you blinded to that. Slavery is still happening all over the world but clearly you don’t know the different types of slavery that have existed throughout history. They aren’t all the same and didn’t all serve the same purpose. A bit of context might do you good when talking about “slavery”
@@jaycameronofficial oh I do believe I can talk about slavery. About the white slavery that went on during the time just before the United States actually existed. I can talk about the slavery going on with the cartels selling little girls and boys as sex slaves. I can talk about in the inner cities and the projects where black mothers are selling their daughters into the sex trade. Sex trafficking their daughters for drugs I can go on and on about the types of slavery that's going on today.
Slavery wasn't just about black people it was about all people white people ,Hispanic people , Asian people. Black people do not get to Corner the market on being slaves. And yet there are over 375,000 slaves in Africa today in 2024. Owned by Native Africans. Their own people.
again, that western education got you hemmed up. #1 Africa has so many ethnic groups that to speak of the people monolithically is uneducated. For most, these are not their own people because they have different languages, cultures and beliefs all within a 50 mile radius. Only the west uses the terms “their own people” but can easily differentiate the British from the French but they are all European and fought each other for more than 100 years. Libyans and Nigerian are not remotely the “same people” other than living on the same land mass that has been labelled by Europeans as “Africa”. They are not their own people. #2 You are correct that slavery does exist in Africa and all over the world. Black people don’t have a lock on it BUT the effects of European and Arab chattel slavery still has its lasting impact all over the world unlike any other form of slavery. The effects in Brazil with the Portuguese. The effects of the Spanish in Central, South and North America. The effects of the Dutch in the Carribean, South America and South African and the Netherlands. The French in Haiti, other parts of the Carribean and half of africa. European chattel slavery left its mark (arguably) far greater than even the Arabs. All of that “own people” talk reveals that you only know a small part of the story. Of course there were those who did sell out but that’s no different than these same black politicians who sell out their own communities to them good ole boys for the perceived prestige. So if you want to talk about who sells out their own people, start with these puppet black politicians in the US and all over the world then you will be onto something tangible.
You are correct but to dismiss the greatest acts of mass human terrorism is a clear example of what happens with a colonized mind educated in western schools and culture. No one in the talk dismissed any other act of slavery but you seem to want to dismiss it as a mere “they sold their own” which is a simple man’s argument compared to the complexities on the land mass we know as africa. Dig a little deeper and objectively and you might be on to something. But when you have gaslit your self, there is very little hope for redemption from the depravity of the mind.
The sad thing is our brothers and sisters in America think Africans left in the continent had it easy. Take it like this.
A group of people got to Africa saw all the wealth and wanted all of it for themselves. The only problem is they don't want to mine it and also don't want to build and adorn houses. So they split the group - the bigger group is left digging all these minerals, the smaller group is then taken to make Paradise for them. That to me makes more sense. And the reason it was easy to subject this big land is because they had advanced weapons.
This is the absolute best description of this I've heard.

I'm proud to see your growth. A year ago we discussed the selling of Africans by Africans. I said, yes it happened but at a rate that was small especially when they didn't see their families and friends returning. Peace and Blessings
All of Africa never participated in slavery or even on a consistent basis.
Many states rejected and resisted the European coercion, some successful and many not so successful. The Edo king for example was nearly assassinated for refusing to help the Dutch retrieve runaway slaves.
Islam also played a major role, in perverting the loyalty of some states, who under the banner of Islam / jihad would participate in raids converting and enslaving the unconverted.
We must remember, the ruling powers of this world need us divided (weakened), our history is not perfect, but our ancestors never wished generational slavery on each other.
The term used to reduce African Indigenous Languages is "Vernacular".
An important read is the classic literary work The 'Beautyful One's Are Not Yet Born', I think the book is publish 1959 in Ghana when Kwame Nkruma instituted the ideal "African Personality" until he had to escape for his life.
Black does not define Blackness.
The thing about being able to compete in the world because of what language you speak, and that language is foreign, means that you have made it easier for the people who own that language to access your markets but, because you can easily be identified by your accent and color, you don't have the same access to their markets. You have also given them a leg up in any business between you because learning a language means you also acquire some of its associated culture.
Aww such amazing insight bro! Your perspective is very broad and staggering! Deconstructing and reconstructing going on here! Thanks man keep up the great work
Bro you represent the best of us!
Keep teaching/educating and inspiring, brother Jay.
FACTS FACTS FACTS, OBJECTIVE AND STRAIGHT
Many so called "Africa American" slaves were forced to convert to Islam by the Arabs or be killed during a time of persecution and invasion. These were the original Hebrews. When taken to the usa they could either retain their Islamic forced identity or take on the forced Catholic Christian religion. The tribe and kingdom of judah was on the west coast of Africa in negro land. The 1747 map shows this information. However because history especially history of slaves have been covered up extensively most ppl dont know where to start. Lets start with the truth. The ships show the names of the ppl taken. Yah or david or yahya were some of the family names. Dna has proven that the negros are linked to the west coast of Africa and other tribes in and around Africa but not related to the Africans. So called negros in the usa and scattered aboard are not African. Many during persecution ran into Africa and surrounding areas to blend in. Black Hebrews/Jews are still living in Africa and the surrounding areas. They still practice their Faith and statutes generation after generation. Dna has also proven this. Lemba tribe, igbo/heebo/tribe. Portugal was responsible for taking many black jews to St Tomas. When they wouldn't convert to Christianity only to be sold to other countries. This information is well documented. These ppl were forced into other religions and given other names to hide their identity. Its slowly being revealed. Time reveals all things and whats done in the dark will come to light. African Americans are not African... Most are descendants of Hebrews slaves. Do your research the information is out there now. Thats why he doesn't care its not his ppl. They know it we know it. They are Hametic.. Shem is the line slaves come from.While the Japheths benefit from it all.. History repeatedly repeats itself. Egyptians enslaved the Israelites all over again. Then Rome conquers all eventually. Africans sold negros/heebos/igbos/hebrews into slavery to the Europeans. Europeans then enslaved and colonized Africa and Eventually everyone who sold slaves. The Arabs too they sold the Hebrews after invading their lands. I mean do the research.
HI JAY
L💜VE YOUR W🌍RK.
What i’ve observed & experienced is that when AA visit AFRIKA, AA are welcomed, however, when natives of Africa comes to USA, they intentionally avoid AAs.
I would say both should seek to understand & resist disregarding each other.The immigrants come to reap the benefits afforded due to suffrage of AA which is of utmost disrespectful. They do not know our history, however due to the fact an individual looks like me & is creation of TMH, I’d seek who are these my brothers & sisters.
Also, i think as AFRICANS we disregard each other as a whole, no we are not united & everyone knows it, to our detriment, yet we are very spiritual & very educated…hmm
🙏🏾O MOST HIGH, FORGIVE & HELP US🕊

PREACH! Thank you for this truth Jay Cameron.
Africans sold other africans into slavery is indeed a fact and french, spanish, english who bought them starting in the ghanna area. Lots of documents prove this is indeed real and 2 sides did wrong, as buying or selling a human being is terrible.
You white?
Benin has formally apologized for its role in the slave trade.
Exactly. Africans told me they sold Africans. There's really nothing to dispute about it.
Africans were made to believe so, the same way they were told a man looking like their very oppressors would come and save them, centuries ago.
When those yt ppl arrived in Africa, they were loaded with guns and canons. You don't trade with weapons. They stole. Remember too, slavery started in the Americas, not in Africa. The Natives didn't sell nothing, they were robbed, ransacked, plundered and looted.
Just think!
@@taiwoejikeme5733 So why did Benin apologize?
@Curtis Hill...Benin apologized to fellow Africans sold into slavery...Nonother..If you don't identify as African, that apology doesn't apply to you..
Africans living today apologising because they feel the pains of your ancestors went through...yes ancestors because l have ancestors whom died fighting against enslaving of their people..
“With your Never have been in slavery behind
self “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, yes I’m so over that foolishness “they don’t like us”🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
On behalf of the Zulus, I would apologize that Shaka Zulu used a bad strategy to unify black people. He killed his own people that were resistant and that meant those that joined the Zulus only did that out of fear. But I don't know anyone sold by South Africans, I could be wrong.
Andrew Steinmetz · 1842 ·
The unfortunate Africans fled from the coast , and sought , in the interior part of the country , a retreat from the persecution of their invaders : but the Europeans still pursued them ; they entered their rivers , sailed up into thesailed up into the heart of the country , surprised the Africans in their recesses , and carried them into slavery
YES REMEMBER IBO LANDING? SOME OF THE AFRICANS VERE KIDNAPPED. DO YOUR RESEARCH
Exactly not all africans participated in selling of their own people so when people generalize it it's really sad.some of our ancestors actually died struggling trying to save their families 😢
If Africans did indeed sell their own, wouldn't there be the riches thereoff to prove it? All those places in Africa where Africans had supposedly sold their own people into slavery were and stil are among the poorest. Conversely, Europeans that practiced the slave trade still have that generational wealth they built up from slavery. English cities such as Birmingham and Liverpool were built upon slavery, in France, Bordeaux, Le Havre, Nantes, just to name a few, prospered because of the slave trade, so did every port city in Netherland.
Most Africans that went into slavery were captured by heavily armed white slave hunters. in what they called "razzias". Those that were sold by Africans were prisoners of tribal wars, and they were a minority. Americans and Europeans started shifting the narrative in the early eighties, erazing the white slave hunters and replacing them solely by "Africans selling Africans". I wonder how come African Americans will believe the word of the very people who made them go through so much, unspeakable atrocities, and who up to this day are bent on not yet being done with them. If African Americans believe white folks when they say all they did was "buy Africans sold by other Africans", they might as well agree with those white folks when they call them inferior and lazy. I do not subscribe to either, for I will not believe a single word that comes form the mouth of an evil people.
You have nothing to show for your betrayal cause you people are fools.... FYI who owns your commodities NOW ?
FYI the betrayer always get betrayed... that's fate.
In the 1700s White abolitionists explained the origins of the slave trade. Here is what was taught at the time.
1. Black Africans were basically peaceful and did not bother each other Moroccans or "Moors" came down and set themselves up as rulers over the Blacks. 2. But then a Black Muslim convert overthrew the Moors and made conquests of his own. 3. The Portuguese arrived and they raided. All the Europeans raided. 4. This caused people to flee inland, but the Europeans went inland to get people.
5. Now the raiding was too risky so the Europeans who had built literal strongholds on the coast. They made treaties with the chiefs which seemed reasonable at first. The deal was you give us your criminals or POWs and we'll give you luxury goods.
We don't all talk like this, I get mad at my family for during the same thing to about native African. Here you are AA talking down on our people.
New Sub and im binging and sharing. Thank you Jay.
Great job bro

John Wesley, 1703-1791. Thoughts upon Slavery
Thoughts upon Slavery:
THOUGHTS
UPON
SLAVERY.
I.
BY slavery I mean domestic slavery, or that of a servant to a master. A late ingenious writer well observes, "The variety of forms in which slavery appears, makes it almost impossible to convey a just notion of it, by way of definition. There are however certain properties which have accompanied slavery in most places, whereby it is easily distinguished from that mild domestic service which obtains in our own country*."
* See Mr. Hargrave's plea for Somerset the negro.
2. Slavery imports an obligation of perpetual service, an obligation which only
Page 4
the consent of the master can dissolve. Neither in some countries can the master himself dissolve it without the consent of judges appointed by law. It generally gives the master an arbitrary power of any correction not affecting life or limb.--Sometimes even these are exposed to his will: or protected only by a fine, or some slight punishment, too insiconderable to restrain a master of an harsh temper. It creates an incapacity of acquiring anything, except for the master's benefit. It allows the master to alienate the slave, in the same manner as his cows and horses. Lastly, it descends in its full extent from parent to child, even to the latest generation.
The beginning of this may be dated from the remotest period, of which we have an account in history. It commenced in the barbarous state of society, and in process of time spread into all nations. It prevailed particularly among the Jews, the Greeks, the Romans, and the antient Germans: And was transmitted by them, to the various kingdoms and states, which arose out of the ruins of the Roman empire. But after christianity prevailed, it gradually fell into decline in almost all parts of Europe. This great change began in Spain, about the end of the eighth century:
Page 5
And was become general in most other kingdoms of Europe, before the middle of the fourteenth.
4. From this time slavery was nearly extinct, till the commencement of the fifteenth century, when the discovery of America, and of the western and eastern coasts of Africa, gave occasion to the revival of it. It took its rise from the Portuguese, who to supply the Spaniards with men, to cultivate their new possessions in America, procured negroes from Africa, whom they sold for slaves to the American Spaniards. This began in the year 1508, when they imported the first negroes into Hispaniola. In 1540 Charles the fifth, then king of Spain, determined to put an end to negro-slavery: Giving positive orders, That all the negro slaves in the Spanish dominions should be set free. And this was accordingly done by Lagasea, whom he sent and impowered to free them all, on condition of continuing to labour for their masters. But soon after Lagasea returned to Spain, slavery returned and flourished as before. Afterwards other nations, as they acquired possessions in America, followed the examples of the Spaniards; and slavery has now taken deep root in most of our American colonies.
Page 17
2. It was some time before the Europeans found a more compendious way of procuring African slaves, by prevailing upon them to make war upon each other, and to sell their prisoners.--Till then they seldom had any wars: But were in general quiet and peaceable. But the white men first taught them drunkenness and avarice, and then hired them to sell one another. Nay, by this means, even their kings are induced to sell their own subjects
Please check out the Lupita Nyong'o documentary on slavery.
Yes they did. They still do. Why did you need a 40 minutes video for that?
You must not have watched it OR if you did, you missed the whole point. …to answer your question
Slavery has existed in EVERY culture. However, the transatlantic slavery carried out by the Europeans (with Africans being the victims) was different. The slavery that existed in Africa prior or in many other places was one due to things like war & becoming a prisoner of war etc & then becoming a servant. However, in many cases, people could buy their way out eventually after working for a period of time. Secondly, the type of slavery that typically existed in Africa prior wasn't hereditary i.e. The children of slaves were not automatically slaves simply because their parents were slaves. On the other hand, the European enslavement of Africans(the TRANS-ATLANTIC slavery) was different & evil on a different kind of big scale. Firstly, the African slaves were kidnapped & were stacked in ships like cargo & shipped to the America's like that for trips that lasted months. Google images showing what the ship arrangements looked like for yourself. There was no way many human beings could survive that stacking. Secondly, the trans-atlantic slavery was GENERATIONAL. ie. All descendants of slaves were slaves too & continued to be slaves till eternity(until it was eventually abolished). Also in the trans-atlantic slavery, slaves were obviously just commodities that could be "gifted" to children, to politicians etc. ALL OF THESE HAPPENED OUTSIDE AFRICA after the slaves had been taken to "the new world" (Africans didn't aid those) , so When I hear people try to change the narrative & say "Africans sold Africans" , I also say "This didn't happen to Africans alone. The same Europeans that carried out these atrocities against Africans still did the same thing to the natives when they(Europeans) got to the "new world" (North & South Americas). The native Americans that occupied 2 whole continents were virtually exterminated that they barely exist today(at least the African race still exists, thankfully). Going by the false narrative of "Africans sold Africans", did the native Americans also aid the Europeans' extermination of the native Americans? We all know what the Europeans ALSO did to the native Americans.
In America we have been taught to see Native as these noble victims who fought the White man but were just out gunned. This is simplistic and false. Native Americans actually fought captured and sold other Natives. There was a whole Indian slave trade that overlapped the African one.
When the Spanish reached the Caribbean they enslaved the people they also brought diseases which killed many many people. Then they took the women who survived and had mixed children with them.
Seeing that the Native Caribbean people were dying. The Spanish decided to bring in Africans.
Over time the most of the "Indians" in the Caribbean get absorbed into the enslaved African population.
Now swing on over to America. The north American mainland. The Europeans get into trading animal skins but also prisoners who the Europeans either capture themselves or get from the Indians who do what Africans did. So while ships are coming with Africans Indians are going to the Caribbean and Bermuda
They sold us let go it’s fact it’s documented and chiefs Ghana 🇬🇭 even documented the problem is people just need to face the elephant in room and keep pushing instead of people lie deny etc I think it just adds to the cut not heal-you heal being truth and truth to ya self
exactly - honestly, the 'Africans sold Africans' is not even pushed that much in the West. I did not learn that fact until I was out of school and researched myself...they do not teach that in schools
@@Koiva232 maybe so I know in certain areas it is regardless I’m like what’s the next step lol 😂 cuz this ain’t taking us no where
@@fabulousfarrahinsouthafrica right? I understand the history sucks to accept but it is what it is...now how do we move forward?
Fabulous…the Europeans introduced chattel slavery to Africa and that’s a fact. Africans sold Africans into transatlantic slave trade because the Europeans instigated it by pitching Africans against each other and taking captives away. If you can’t simply understand that slave trade across the Atlantic wouldn’t have happened had the Europeans not gone to Africa for that, then you’ve been brainwashed. Stop buying the European narrative and excuse.
Changing the narrative it's okay long as the change is correct but to tell it all out non truth and state that it is fact is no better than those that stayed a false narrative. And just to keep it honest the only people that have told me negative things about Africa itself has been my own people giving negative narrative of Africa I personally haven't yet in my 55 year have heard, or been told by a white American. It's not their job to promote after Africa or mine to listen to their opinion for what they think. But for one thing I have witness for myself being called the N word and told to go back to Africa which was said from a great distance, one country I have never been yet to this day hopefully to visit.🌄🦍
Don’t Forget The Removal Surnames or Outlawed Our Ancestors Use Of Their Native Languages & Confused The Knowledges of Regions of 🌍
African Americans and Native American Indians were beaten to learn English. I remember reading a narrative about a young girl that was enslaved in the America's by the English who beat her because she couldn't speak English. Then they sold her to a Dutch man in a Dutch American Colony and he beat her because she couldn't speak Dutch. The same people have done the same thing all over the world.
Smh!
@Izzy Malik I am definitely aware and not afraid to admit that there was an Arab/Islamic slave trade, there was an inter continental African form of servitude, and indigenous Indian Americans owned slaves. Nevertheless, because certain European groups had invaded and infiltrated Arab, African and Indian American lands, and had co-opted and corrupted the bloodlines of all the latter, it's still a strong possibility that Europeans were part and parcel of each one of these systems of bondage, with the exception of the African inter-continental system ( which is still up for debate).
@Sara Hicks No, maybe you need to go back and review your history! Because, although, there has been a concerted effort and deceptive practice in western narratives, to divide Africa into regions and separate North, East and South Africa from West Africa, to make it appear as if what was happening in West Africa was somehow disconnected from what was happening in other parts of Africa and in Western Europe, the Mediterranean and Asia (the Middle East); the record clearly states that this is not true and the west African slave trade was only a continuation of the European/European Arab invasion of the African continent that started way back BCE.
And, furthermore how do we know African were enslaving each other? Who said that? The European enslavers claim they never made into the interior of Africa, so how in the h*ll did they know what was going on? And, even if it was true, 400 years ( which by the way seems like b.s.) is a very short time compared to the thousands of years that Europeans had been invading, wagging war, conquering and enslaving other Europeans and other people in the world, including Africans. You accuse Africans of enslaving each other, but somehow you forget to mention that Europeans were enslaving each other too. However, your crafty scholars call it the Barbary trade instead of the European slave trade so that it looks as if this is not white on white slavery....and I could also go on and on about this so-called system of European indentured servitude ( slavery), but I won't...I think enough has been said.

The list is rather long.... It's all public knowledge. Might I add Oprah Winfrey has 2.1 Billion and counting. Just saying 😌
THE WORD slave has not, the same meaning from Europe that's where it comes from.I think in Africa they talk about somebody who don't know freedom but not on a color of skin ,it's like the anciens egyptiens were black and according to historiens and architectes ; slaves don't build pyramides ! only free blacks men could do so !
It should be called The Islamic and Catholic/Christian slave war trades.
I think we do need one African language though. But maybe, let it not be we chose this one because it is widely spoken but we can agree that as a way to unify black people, those tribes that will be pushing to unify tribes, etc should be honoured by Africans choosing their language.
In that way, every language has a fair chance to loose on their own.
Let us evangelise peace among African brothers, cleaning out drugs, etc. Let those with money invest in uplifting others, etc. Everyone who contributes can be promised a reward in this life. As for heaven, God will take care of that part
African Union decided on Kiswahili which is the widest spoken language in Africa across 10 countries. A resolution was passed to teach Kiswahili in respoective countries.
No my brother, if we all speak only one language it will be to their advantage. Africans in general speak several languages so we can communicate with each other. Swahili has been chosen to be the common language of Africa by the AU.

Thank you Jay. One thing I have always thought was, even if some Africans sold the others, I can bet my bottom dollar that they had no idea of the horrific ordeals the 'slaves' were going to go through. They treated their own slaves with dignity and m sure they thought that is how they were going to be treated. I am sure the YTs promised untold riches were going to be their reward. Remember fathers even sent their sons there, same way we are sending our children to diaspora for education. Had it not been for the social media and internet during the pandemic and the war, would we have known how our pple are viewed and treated our there 🤔. We need to put our thinking caps on and determine who is playing the Divide and Conquer evil game?
Bruh the Congo literally Showed colonials their method. Today right now in lybia captives from war and conflict are being sold by middle eastern and African militias, like can you actually do some research first its proven
@@2thumms487 i get you, but do you honestly think the Africans knew that the slaves were going to be lynched with a whole grp of people cheering? Or that their babies made to be gator baits? Or receive sometimes 250 lashes, or raped by a mob of yt adolescents, or put to breeding farms. Are you saying these African chiefs knew about all this?
Africans They sold Israelites
Check out Zenieb Badawi a Sudanese sis who did the African perspective of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. She interviewed African academia, historians and the Slave castle prisons cell directors. They admitted in details to selling our ancestors and why. Straight out of the horse's mouth. Why Ghana apologized. Many of the African country scholars said they knew they weren't sending us to garden parties while smirking.
Yeah... My ancestors sold your ancestors lol
Africans were made to believe so, the same way they were told a man looking like their very oppressors would come and save them, centuries ago.

Africans sold Africans and so what?? Africans didn't sell Europeans nor Indians or Chinese.Therefore Africans sold themselves....So what's your problem??
Seem that documentary and as usual it was not historical accurate portrayal of events but as for Africans living today apologising...there is nothing worng ...even if it's the after effects of what happened.
@@okey9236 It was like a 4 part series and from academics not Joe Schmuckatelli like you in the comment section under a video.
I watched a very big African American RUclipsr, who up till now harbors a conviction that West Africa sold them into slavery and for which reason he will not visit West Africa, even if he will, it will be Liberia, and for Ghana, he will never wanna have anything to do with Ghana because Ghana played a pivotal role in the slave trade and that he was very angry with West Africa, especially Ghana. Can you imagine?
These African American guys are big on youtube. One of them is currently based in Uganda while the other one is still in the States, and I thought they were supposed to know better. Upon several attempts to bridge the gap, many still harboring mindsets that West Africans sold them into slavery and so they are angry with West Africa especially Ghana. Some people need more education otherwise they have a long way to go.
The wildest part is that they were never slaves in the context they claim to be victims of. I wonder who all told them.
@@jaycameronofficial Ghana formally apologized for their role as a nation who sold us to Caucasians- it’s actually easily found and I’ll post it here too.
Nigerians call us akaata which is same as when Caucasians call us niggers.
And Senegal sold us too and Mali and Ivory Coast.
@@jerronwesley4473 How can Ghana apologize for a crime that was committed when she didn't exist. And for being called Akata, it's no big deal as most of us bare it as a last name. Specifically my colleague who lives just 200m away from me is called Akata. So why take offense.
@@jerronwesley4473: The Yorubas first called black Americans Akata because of the Black Panther Party. Black Panther is Akata in Yoruba; the fact that some people think it's derogatory does not make it so. In the 70s and 80s, some Nigerians used to refer to their black American wives as Akata; if it's a dirty word, they wouldn't have done so. Akata has also been used for first generation Nigerian Americans. It's the movie featuring Wesley Snipes that translated Akata as cotton picker that is largely responsible for the discord we are dealing with right now. Most Africans do not use the Akata word to refer to black Americans; so I advise those who still do to stop since the word has been corrupted or misunderstood.
@Paintsil Desmond: I think you are referring to Phil Scott and Oshay Duke Jackson. Phil Scott thinks he's more important than he really is. Who gains from him visiting West Africa? Life goes on there with or without him.
What's your point ?you all over the place.
Watch it again. Seems like everyone else got the point. Then sometimes people just don’t get it.
@@jaycameronofficial ok,I'm at work now,but when I get off I will go back an watch it again,thanks just trying to get a understanding.
Africans didn't sell Africans into slavery, understood.
Then who is the African sell,if thou canst tell?
You will find that Tyre, and Zidon, are from the seed of ham, hams lineage are the Africans that sold Israelites into slavery.
Joel 3:4-6
[4]Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
[5]Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
[6]The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
Which of the ethnic nations from the continent that are documented by those who took the most for the longest, the Portuguese or Spanish, make the claim themselves that they are Israelites?
I is complete BioShock o believe that Israelites were sold as a block, when there is the presence of over 100 ethnic nations that is documented in he west , along with a diversity of spiritual systems.
And you are actually teaching ignorance
Your piss poor western education is revealing itself
And why aren't you talking about the actual slaves in 2024 in Africa owned by black people that's going on today
I could talk about the slavery happening in the US steps away from the White House that’s still happening but your western eyes have you blinded to that. Slavery is still happening all over the world but clearly you don’t know the different types of slavery that have existed throughout history. They aren’t all the same and didn’t all serve the same purpose. A bit of context might do you good when talking about “slavery”
@@jaycameronofficial oh I do believe I can talk about slavery. About the white slavery that went on during the time just before the United States actually existed. I can talk about the slavery going on with the cartels selling little girls and boys as sex slaves. I can talk about in the inner cities and the projects where black mothers are selling their daughters into the sex trade. Sex trafficking their daughters for drugs I can go on and on about the types of slavery that's going on today.
Slavery wasn't just about black people it was about all people white people ,Hispanic people , Asian people. Black people do not get to Corner the market on being slaves. And yet there are over 375,000 slaves in Africa today in 2024. Owned by Native Africans. Their own people.
again, that western education got you hemmed up. #1 Africa has so many ethnic groups that to speak of the people monolithically is uneducated. For most, these are not their own people because they have different languages, cultures and beliefs all within a 50 mile radius. Only the west uses the terms “their own people” but can easily differentiate the British from the French but they are all European and fought each other for more than 100 years. Libyans and Nigerian are not remotely the “same people” other than living on the same land mass that has been labelled by Europeans as “Africa”. They are not their own people. #2 You are correct that slavery does exist in Africa and all over the world. Black people don’t have a lock on it BUT the effects of European and Arab chattel slavery still has its lasting impact all over the world unlike any other form of slavery. The effects in Brazil with the Portuguese. The effects of the Spanish in Central, South and North America. The effects of the Dutch in the Carribean, South America and South African and the Netherlands. The French in Haiti, other parts of the Carribean and half of africa. European chattel slavery left its mark (arguably) far greater than even the Arabs.
All of that “own people” talk reveals that you only know a small part of the story. Of course there were those who did sell out but that’s no different than these same black politicians who sell out their own communities to them good ole boys for the perceived prestige. So if you want to talk about who sells out their own people, start with these puppet black politicians in the US and all over the world then you will be onto something tangible.
You are correct but to dismiss the greatest acts of mass human terrorism is a clear example of what happens with a colonized mind educated in western schools and culture. No one in the talk dismissed any other act of slavery but you seem to want to dismiss it as a mere “they sold their own” which is a simple man’s argument compared to the complexities on the land mass we know as africa. Dig a little deeper and objectively and you might be on to something. But when you have gaslit your self, there is very little hope for redemption from the depravity of the mind.
