You should have played the whole thing. She obliterated him fully.
Yeah right, only the black people who gathered them up were bad, not the actual white slavers? That is obliterating?
They didn't make nearly as money off of human labor as the empire. Moronic answer and anyone who agrees is one, too.
@juan abee Wow, tell me I'm right w/out saying I'm right. Thank you.
What kind of moronic deflection is that, Juan? name something significant you've done, besides turn into a Tucker Carlson sheep.
Is this same guy that wants omabas face on mount Rushmore
@juan abee "Blacks" shouldn't need to pay back rent reparations to natives.
@juan abee ??? Not sure what your saying
Don Lemon couldn't stop blinking while she shut him up with that response.
Haha his blinking went faster and faster...hilarious!
I think he was trying to hold back the tears😢 I don't think I've ever seen Don Lemon head sweat like that it was most enjoyable.🤗
She told the TRUTH!!! Simple!!
Thank you
Thanks,she told the truth,no the whole history
this was beautiful to watch
You really should have 1 million responses lol
Why when 4 basic questions would have stopped her in her tracks. I got them. You wanna answer them? This is an open challenge to you. Say yes and I’ll post them
@@DestroyThoseThatDestroyUs listen l don't give a fuck about slavery .every race has been enslaved at some point let me ask can we all have weperations🤷😭😭get a life nobody owes you or me anything..just know because of what those black Africans went through you got to live a privileged life in a privileged country. The end
@Chayil 74 no because she pointed out how you always want to blame the big bad white man yet refuse to blame the people that sold and benefitted first from the African slave trade..now every race of people in history have been enslaved at some point..can we all get a pay out please l can't look after myself without Dems weperations 🤦🤣🤣
@@DestroyThoseThatDestroyUs wow check out what a victim you are...my violins are playing loudly at this very moment for you
In college, back in early 80s we studied the nuances of history, especially when it came to slavery. I guess now history is reinvented to fit a political narrative.
Ya. Like how hati abolished slavery in 1793 ... Britian didn't do so till 1833. They banned slave trades in 1807.
@@dormantmenace Because the slaves revolted against their "masters", not because the Haitian rulers wanted to.
@@dormantmenace You should tell the Haitians that. Because slavery still exists there. It took five seconds to look it up.
@@dormantmenace education is key . Looks like you need to hit them books 📚.... its not over in Haiti
CNN still hasn't uploaded this
🤣
They won't.
They don’t want their moron audience hearing any form of truth
I was looking for it so I could comment hahaha history doesn't look good when you find out that your own ancestry were responsible in the first place. But all of our ancestors conducted slavery towards our own it's the dark side of human beings ..
Love it. Go back to the people that rounded up their own people and sold them - they were Africans from Africa .
Not only do descendants of african slaves need pay back but the whites need to pay back native Americans as well 💯
Maybe if we fixed our education and actually teach what has actually happened then all sides would b the better
They won't because they'll lose the control over people with the lies about it all.
But the establishment don't want that. They want uneducated ignorent people who can be manipulated at the drop of a hat. All this bs we see today has been don by design. If people are really wanting things to change..Then people need to stop voting the same old cr*p. Doing the same thing over and over again whilst expecting a different outcome. Is a sign of madness. The people at some point are going to have to take the government back to the people.
@@DA-md6ki I concur and I know
So true you can always Google it, which maybe Don should have done.
We need reasonable human beings in charge and not PC,virtue signaling, Nincompoops who don't know real history because they change it to suit their agenda.WHAT BS!!!!!!Glad to be an old smart hippy from the 60s!!
The British government paid reparations totaling £20 million (equivalent to some £300 billion in 2018) to slave owners when it abolished slavery in 1833. Banking magnates Nathan Mayer Rothschild and his brother-in-law Moses Montefiore arranged for a loan to the government of $15 million to cover the vast sum - which represented almost half of the U.K. governent’s annual expenditure.
The U.K. serviced those loans for 182 years from 1833 to 2015. The authors of the British reparations program saddled many generations of British people with a reparations debt for which they were not personally responsible.
So they paid slave owners, not the slaves 🤣 😂 😆 🤔 🙄
@@kinginc2000 Yes, but a lot of those slave owners were Black also. It was a good way to stop the practice initially. I'm sure the free slaves were not complaining. It should also be noted a lot of that money was spent on the Anti slave Royal navy which chased down slaver ships in West Africa, blockaded Brazil until it banned slavery also, and went to war with the Arab slave trade on the East coast of Africa. All of this cost lots of money and lives. Sailors were also paid money for every slave they freed on any slaver ship
@@overthewebb Those were prisoners. Afterall, what did the slaves build in Africa? On top of that, the so called slave masters in Africa, were betrayed and turned into slaves by Europeans, Americans and Arabs. So to hear them try and say they paid slave owners, instead of the slaves, or the slaves they abandoned (Haitians, and Caribbean islands) is a joke. These countries were never paid any raparations. Britain, and the other slave owning countries out east, have been pointing fingers at the US, for decades. While blaming others and making false narratives, forgetting that their stories are out there. Britain never paid for their contributions, neither have others in the UK.
@@kinginc2000 History is messy. Are you saying that Britain shouldn't have bothered at all?
@@swimmad456 they never bothered, they took the easy route. Afterall, the descendants of those slaves that live in their province's were never paid. King Charles is the King Of Jamaica. Jamaica is still in bad shape. And Britain still make money off Their Province's.
Where are all these people that are former slaves and asking for reparations? I’ve never met anyone that was. I’d think they have to be very old by now.
I’m just wondering when we Cherokee get our land back… along with the overdue rent.
Yeah, where's mine? My great grandmother was born in a teepee in Indian Territory Oklahoma. But, then she moved to Dallas and became a secretary and became successful...so she blew all that crap off.
Would that be the land you lost in battle to American settlers, or the land you won in battle with the Iroquoian tribes? Keep pumping your chest like the native Americans were a united front that didnt wage war, conquer land and enslave the captured like everyone else throughout the dawn of time. 🙄
I loved that this woman schooled him. Unfortunately, for some people, the truth hurts.
@juan abee “Trail of tears”… Cherokees were shoved off the land by the government.
@@KB-ke3fi Yeah… that was kind of my point about “reparations”. In truth… that was a long time ago and it is absurdly ridiculous to think that the Cherokees would get “reparations”… and “back rent” when none of my ancestors are around to collect it. They were the victims… not me personally.
If that were so the populations here, including the black community, would owe part of the rent for the land they occupy today to the native Indians.
It’s about time!!!
Don didn’t expect that 😂
Brilliant seeing a Brit stand up to the woke left to defend our country, its history and the TRUTH 🇬🇧
Lemon by name a lemon by nature
I miss old school debates . Now news seems almost self pleasuring
Don Lemon is the clear example of what happened with people who rewrite history. Like Don Lemon they ending erasing history just to be educated by someone that didn't!!
You can't call someone a nazi or a commie or want to hang someone and have a healthy debate.
It’s a big ole circle crank in most of not all major news networks
Don Lemon speechless would be perfect. He should make it a habit.
Don't forget the Algerians! The African kingdom of Algeria enslaved 2.4 million Brits from 1530-1780 by sailing into your towns and fishing lanes with slave ships full of raiding parties.
I wasn't alive back then I'm not giving anybody anything I love it I'm so loving this
I hear all about African slavery, but I don’t hear anything about the enslavement of our Sicilian ancestors by the African Moors which lasted a few hundred years. I suppose that’s ok with everyone. 😢
No it’s not that. You wanna know the reason? The African slave trade was the largest and longest forced migration in Human history.
Not only that, the legacy of slavery still exists today. Just look at European countries and how they treat Blacks.
Most Black people that I know, including myself don’t really care that slavery happened. We weren’t slaves and those whites around us weren’t slave owners, but what does bother us is that we are treated with disdain and overt racism, death, and all of that. That’s the real problem.
Reparations should be an atonement.
Let me ask you this; did your country of origin keep African slaves and still benefit from that free labor now?
@@DestroyThoseThatDestroyUs did you read my post? My Sicilian ancestors were enslaved, raped, and murdered by the African Moors in their own country of Sicily. They didn’t own slaves. They were slaves. You really don’t know anything about history. If you did, you wouldn’t make such ridiculous comments.
@@DestroyThoseThatDestroyUs Wtf
I am from Europe and now you try it to blame it on us ? 😅😂🤣
@@DestroyThoseThatDestroyUs tf 😂
Or about slavery in general. People from the beginning made slaves out of people who looked just like them. They didn't have the technology to go anywhere else. They didn't have the technology to build an infrastructure. The world was built on the backs of slaves. Therefore we are all decended from slaves. In a larger scale all of Western Europe was enslaved by the Romans. This is how the world has worked and Africa is no different. As in other places larger tribes enslaved smaller tribes and worked them in Africa. When Europeans came along the coast they sold their fellow Africans to Europeans. The East Africa Slave Trade conducted, by the Arabs, had the Arabs actually go into Africa and enslave the people themselves. It goes on and on, until today where women and children are enslaved for sex and/ or labour.
Truth hurts. 🤣
Yes it does. I loved that this woman shut him up. Don't like to hear the truth.
@Chayil 74
Brush up on your history ,might surprise you ….
Nonetheless, it's STILL NECESSARY,
@Chayil 74 facts
Truth? She said that not one single white person went and abducted a single person from Africa. That is wholesale false and is proved by letters written by Africans and supported by all kinds of leading scholars. So what truth are you talking about exactly? Go on, tell us.
Excellent!
HOW have I missed news nation...
They need to keep the truth about slavery on the down low, if words gets out the Democratic Party will lose the black vote.
Black peoples started this first
So stupid both parties are the left and right wings of racism/white supremacy black people understand this quite well. It’s white folks that continue to be baited by democrats and republicans. White people’s racism continues to be triggered by both parties to the point white people just don’t understand how advantageous it would be if the government, corporations and others that benefited from American chattel slavery pay the debt that is owed to the descendants of American chattel slavery.
Misleading ignorance not surprising to see on thus OP
Facts sir
I wish newsnation would livestream on the website or the app, not every provider carries Newsnation, or if they do ( like Sling) they charge extra.
Glad it finally gets mentioned, Britian create a huge debt ending slavery around the world that it wasnt paid until 2015, so I think the uk is owed a lot in reparations
Don lemon is a real lemon!!
He got sent home with…. I just pumped the neighbors cat look on his face!
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣 He was left SQUARED EYED!!!!!
If he’s against what has become of colonialism. He needs to give up his cell phone, modern plumbing, travel by boat, airplane and motor vehicle.
British colonialism built the world we live in,I celebrate its achievements for all in the world
That's hilarious that's what they need to put on primetime on local news 👽🇺🇸
It was beautiful
Don lemon asked the question... "Reparations for british colonial crimes & exploitation of Africa". The british woman changed the subject to "Slavery". Listen again to the video clip & you will clearly hear don lemon referring to "British colonial crimes & exploitation of Africa". He didn't mention "Slavery".
On realising she couldn't defend the British colonial empire for its crimes against humanity & exploitation of Africa, she deliberately confused don lemon by changing the subject & introducing another unrelated matter(slavery)to the conversation. She applied reverse psychology on don lemon with devastating effect.
It's fascinating to see alot of racist news media lurching onto this misinformation & misinterpretation of the actual question that don lemon asked. It's also incredible how people cannot see the deception deployed by this british woman in order to defend the brutal british colonial empire.
Thanks
Lemon, the most aptly named pratt
Don's blink rate!
Are you guys on DirecTV
It’s only through getting a full range of opinions that the truth can be ascertained.
Article 17 on the Jules Verne and the Heroes of Birkenhead website gives the true story of how Britain and Liverpool in particular, abolished slavery in 1833.
Somebody fix Lemon a peanut butter sandwich.
Priceless ❤❤❤
Egg all over the face of Lemonaide. LOL
The question of reparations shouldn’t be focussed on slavery. It should be on exploiting the mineral wealth of those countries that were colonised.
what would you have done with the mierals - do you even have a guess?
Already done through overseas aid.
Next BS please.
Don lemon is at a loss for brain cells.
They didn't even play the best part of the response. How are people supposed to know what really happened?
He got BURNED!!! 🤦🙄🤡🤣😂
Don LeMon got schooled.
Why did you not post the whole thing
Truths
While I may be a gaming channel in high school I was a big person for history. The triangle slave trade was terrible yes but the Europeans didn’t just go in with nets and round up people in Africa. They traded guns, powder, etc with tribes and empires there. Like in any part of the world back then when a empire went to war they typically took slaves. They then traded the slaves for other goods. Yes it is terrible but if you are going to bi!ch you better be sure you got the full story
@Archamedes i never ever claim to be a expert or even proficient in understanding. But I do know the bear minimum of the history.
@juan abee whites need to pay back descendants of African slaves native Americans and Asians as well
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Why is it beautiful? What about that dishonest, selective performance on her part and the cowardly performance on Don Lemon's part was beautiful?
I saw a dishonest woman taking absolutely no responsibility for 300 holocaust just to make you the average European feel good.
And I saw a paid off Black man akin to the Africans that helped steal free people.
Slavery wasn't abolished in England until around 1833 and yet she says 1806. Facts.
So she's lying and you think that's beautiful. Wow, impressive.
As black people we need to grow up and stop asking for reparation. We need to get over it, it was, and it is a game of war, learn from our mistakes and build our own empire without begging, then we will become powerful, and maybe we will get "reparation "without even have to ask because they respect and fear us and want to do business with us. like the Chinese and the Italian did in America.
God save the king
Wow! This is an amazing news! How can I come across your news this late???😭😭😭😭 Keep up the great work great journalism!!❤️❤️❤️😊😊
What exactly is amazing about this?
You cut off the response. Why?
Yeah she soooo screwed him! Don only screws other dudes...🙄. Get it???
I keep asking, tell me don how are you suffering? 🤔I am listening.
The lemon got nervous when she began talking about the slave traders descendants paying reparations, who many are the people he works for
Loved this. Tribes captured the men in other tribes and sold them to the highest bidder. Quit using crap that happened years ago to get more free $$ or as an excuse for failures.
Reparations? Oh man can't wait to receive my $1.33!!
Serves him right.
Black reperations, seriously, 😂😂, get a life, earn your own way
What a complete Lemon.
He needs to claim compensation for such a bad education.
How does he stay on the air?
Nice
He now has a new job at CNN, during the daytime.
Knowledge is power Read more history Don lemon needs to go back to school.
Lemon is as shallow as they come! He lacks the intellectual agility of a serious interviewer.
Whats wrong with his eyes
That woman was just ridiculous
You should always have people with opposing views talking to each other - otherwise it just end up an echo chamber and you learn nothing.
"Pay them back" There was no money taken from them so no money owed. As she said go to the source. If I buy something you're selling that you have no right to sell, you get your recompense from them. Time to admit the truth to your selves.
Don Lemon would have been able to ask incisive follow-up questions had he read our book titled Culpability of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade published by the very prestigious Rowman and Littlefield Publishing Group.
This was awesome. Great big truth bombs
Don Lemon got smoked 😂😂😂😂😂😂
European and American slavers exchanged goods for people with African traders along enormous stretches of West and Central Africa, even to Madagascar and southeastern Africa. But most Africans boarded slave ships in six distinct regions of the African coast: Upper Guinea, the Gold Coast, Bight of Benin, Bight of Biafra, West-Central Africa, and southeastern Africa. During the course of the transatlantic slave trade, nearly half of all African captives were taken from West-Central Africa (Congo and Angola today).The Bight of Benin (Togo, Benin, and Nigeria today) and the Bight of Biafra (covering approximately today’s Nigeria, Cameroon, and Gabon) accounted for a further 28 percent of embarkations on slave ships. These points of departure from Africa do not necessarily indicate the home regions of African victims, since vast networks of slave routes frequently funneled people to the coast from villages deep in the interior.Slaves: Shewing the Method of Chaining Them portrays two men chained to one another aboard the slave ship Favourite in 1805. As a result, those loaded onto European and American slave ships had already endured a number of passages of prolonged hardship long before their sale on the coast. After initial capture, African slavers might pass them through different African societies, through alien lands and cultures, for weeks, months, or years before confronting the most confusing of sights: European men, the Atlantic Ocean, and the slave ships. Though some were marched just a few miles to the coast, others had been forcibly marched hundreds of miles. It was a journey that took its toll on the African men, women, and children bound together by ropes, chains, or wooden yokes. Different forms of servitude had long been a feature of many African societies, and Africa had long-established slaving systems and slave routes, such as those across the Sahara Desert and along the Nile. These systems differed markedly from the transatlantic slave trade and racialized slavery that Europeans later developed to maximize plantation production in their colonies. There were various forms of indigenous African slavery, ranging from kinship arrangements to chattel slavery. Africans fell into slavery because of extreme poverty (as with children given away or sold by hungry families, for example), pawn slavery (which might be temporary), or violence, including warfare, slave raids, and kidnapping. Enslaved individuals could then be sold on to other communities in need of labor. There were child slaves and large holdings of enslaved people-upward of one thousand in number-by slave traders on the edge of the Sahara. There was, however, no single form of African slavery.
Show less
not my words but so true.
No one has to like Queen Elizabeth II. . But it is disingenuous to bemoan Queen Elizabeth's role in Africa's history, but remain deafeningly silent on the brutal empires of Nigeria's past - or any of the vast number of empires that pillaged, raped, murdered, and enslaved other Africans in that continent's history.
B A U tea Full!

Don Lemon "THE LEMON!!!!"
He should of watched the film AMISTAD. A moment in time but an important one.
Fire your editor. They stupidly left out the part where she was talking about the continent of AFRICA. That’s a crucial piece of info and your editor left out.
Modern slavery in different forms is going on even in the 21st century.
I agree, reparations should be paid, but to the soldiers’ families who were killed & injured to free the slaves during the Civil War.
That was a precursor to Elon deciding not to enter a partnership agreement with Don Lemon. Would any of us be rude and condescending to a prospective boss, as he was to Elon? The hubris is overwhelming with this guy.
The image of a ship/boat made of wood and propelled by the wind anchoring offshore and sending 20 or 30 men with swords/shields and bow/arrows into Africa and rounding up 200 or so grown men with bow/arrows and spears is hard to believe.
I mean, it’s not like the decedents of slaves treat on another any better in modern times. 13% of the racial population commits 50% of all homicides in the USA. Broken down by sex, and it’s more like 6.5%. Broken down by age, 15-39, almost 50% of all murders committed in the USA, are done by a mere 3% of the population. And they commit a large majority of those on their own. Facts don’t care about your feelings, eh?
facts: africans sold africans.!!!!
the African chiefs sold them, and they revolted against it. Blame Africa.
One of the biggist Misconceptions of the Slave trade to Americas is exactly what you have stated. Perpetuated by the Book and Movie "Roots" which is total Fabrication. However it is my opinion that more Blacks AND Whites believe Slavery happened just that way which is numbing to think that big of a story could just be washed and manipulated.
@Chayil 74 China still has slavery and cheap labour going on right now.
The clothes you wear.
The phone & computer you use.
The cheap household items you buy around your home.
All made from the hands of some poor human abused by the rich.
That means YOU are guilty too. YOU play a massive part in slavery. According to YOUR way of thinking its not just China who should be punished for their crimes, YOU the buyer should be punished too.
Be careful when you wish to open Pandora's Box, as it will come back to bite you, on the bum!!
The British gave Africa Soccer . Under British rule in India we had a bunch of guys lounging around in their diaper looking underwear and put them to work building the railroad and Gave them the greatest gift ever given man. Cricket . They owe the UK .....!!!
Big time .
He forgot to tell her that the first nation to abolish slavery was in fact Haiti 🇭🇹 1791-1804- he also didn’t provide any information that the African American 🇺🇸 slave reparations were technically given to the slave holders during the era when slavery had been abolished in America-December 6th 1865 & that these reparations were adamantly impeded upon through President Andrew Johnson-mind us that the first documented ethics of human servitude compensation was bestowed onto a prior slave named Belinda Royal, 1783-where she attained annually 15 pounds with inclusively 12 shillings. What Mr Lemon also did not incorporate was that the British has asserted mass European colonialism onto nearly the totality of the entire planet, through European totalitarianism, Asia, South & North Americas, Europe, Australis, Hawaii, The British Overseas Provinces, etc, within the indigenous Americas & India alone-British mass ascendancies are responsible for the lives lost at over 80 million indigenous people.
Aren’t just about all those slaves gone? I would like them to prove they were slaves!
Dafuk..that wasnt the full clip.
COLONIALISM is not slavery. She did not answer the question and went off on her personal slavery rant. Once slavery ended, Europeans began full invasions of countries, murdering, torturing, stealing etc….Neo Colonialism is still being practiced throughout the African continent. As Europeans refuse to remove their military from countries they colonized. She needs to be schooled, she is not informed. Furthermore, men that were in the EMPLOY of the British government to stop the transatlantic slave trade were EMPLOYED and compenstated by the British empire. The only parties to Slave Trade that have not compensated are the innocent slaves and their descendants.
you cannot pay "damages" to those who were damaged because they are dead. not sure if the law supports the descendants of slaves as heirs to $$ owed, if any, but they would need to round up all the required paperwork to prove their case. I won't hold my breath for that.
He’s a reason why I feel better about myself,because I’m not him,he’s pathetic
poor poor "miss" lemon🙄
Except hati abolished slavery in 1793 little bit before britians in 1833 or the trading of them in 1807. Hati was essentially cut off from the white European world for this
1777 - State of Vermont, an independent Republic after the American Revolution, becomes first sovereign state to abolish slavery
1792 - Denmark bans import of slaves to its West Indies colonies, although the law only took effect from 1803.
1811 - Spain abolishes slavery, including in its colonies, though Cuba rejects ban and continues to deal in slaves.
1813 - Sweden bans slave trading
1814 - Netherlands bans slave trading
1817 - France bans slave trading, but ban not effective until 1826
1833 - Britain passes Abolition of Slavery Act, ordering gradual abolition of slavery in all British colonies. Plantation owners in the West Indies receive 20 million pounds in compensation
Fire the fake

I think you’re all enjoying this a bit too much 😅
Absolutely love it thank god someone telling this arshole the truth
Right on mate,the monarchy as nothing to do with slaves,it,s unbelievable how woke these arsehole,s really are
Thanks for watching ? Wtf. Why didnt you play the whole video?
"Some people wanna be paid back"
Errr .. paid back for what exactly?
Maybe go make a claim against all the US slave owners in the USA (including the Founding Fathers) who kept up slavery for another 90 years after the British left the 13 colonies and 50 years after the British outlawed slavery in its Empire. By the way there was no slavery in the UK itself or indeed in British North America (aka Canada).
"Paid back"? "Suffering"? - From what? Something that happened over 150 years ago that I or any other modern person was responsible for or experienced? What are we Klingons? where the shame of an ancestor goes on for six generations?
yo dude, don’t give me a hand, I want a had out.
Know your History, I mean The British History 😉 😏 before you judge.
