  • Can we all agree that this is wage slavery: use of coercion and force to extract work for a meager wage? Wage slavery is real, people. It's seen all over the third-world, and our companies LOVE it. What a shame, this horrid immorality.

  • As usual the good people are getting fucked with by the evil ones.

  • 9:23 is that guy albino?

  • new zealand people (moaris )ate the pigmys there,,evil bastrds,,pick on somoen your own size gutless wanders..that goes for anyone..

  • it's funny how willy wonker twists things...

  • eaten !!!

  • Pigmies are inferior to Bantus, as Bantus are to Europeans... Enough of politically correct garbage, just admit it.... Bantus treat them fairly, as I heard they are working willingly for them and nomadic life is harder than work for Bantus, that can guide them with their superior way of social organization and intelligence. As I understood richer pigmies buy alcohol for their salaries. So problem isn't in harsh African life, they are inferior. Saying that they are equal to us, I find insulting.

  • @AlmightyZEDANIUM then kill urself

  • i thought the Koisan was the oldest

  • Blacks in America make a huge deal of slavery when they have done it themselves? Yea that's fair.

  • @blahwastaken u fukkin shit dikk

    who in the hell did they enslave WHO????

    r u mental

    What u have done 2 AA should not be called slavery but GENOCIDE u asshole

    The africans that sold blacks wer NOT the same ppl

    they knew they wer different

  • @MrRobyopunkass You must not have watched the video or by the way your spell and type you may not have understood what was going on in the video...Bantus enslaved pygmies and whipped them for not doing the work or doing something wrong. They are black. They enslaved people.  Blacks say that white people are so bad for enslaving. Seems a little fucked up to me, but probably not fucked up at all to you because you don't seem intelligent enough to see the irony in all of this.

  • @blahwastaken 1. Bantus are central africans NOT west

    2. white ppl did more than just enslave an entire ppl

    they tried(mainly succeed) to destroy blacks

    took away their customs,culture,language,relig­ion

    Blk amricans are the only ppl in the world COMPLETELY

  • @MrRobyopunkass they didnt eat them

  • @MrRobyopunkass you are racist

  • @eurasianchica All i have 4 U is TRUTH

  • sorry people they are not Pygmies, Pygmies are smaller than 3 feet under THATS a Pygmie these are just normal people with an adverage hight look at me i am 5'7 am i a Pygmie? no big cause these arnt Pygmies at all.

  • @zeustruth yes you are a pygmy, now fack off

  • @zeustruth

    lol pygmy

  • Pressure should be applied to expose government of Congo and for not promoting humane treatment and living wages for Pygmies. Shame on Unilever and other multinationals for not paying Pygmies a fair wage directly. How about some schools and subsidies for the Pygmy children as well? They should not have to be child-slaves!!

  • Blame the british palm oil Unilver corporation that is exploiting everything: the Bantus are paid to enslave the pygmies. Everywhere you look at the top of pyramid is run by few elites who owns lands and resources...the rest is paid to do the work.

  • Certainly one of the most grim videos I have ever seen. The crew who filmed this must have broke down into tears regularly.

  • It's horrible to see pigmies exploited as such. Very disgusting. What the pigmies could use are guns.

  • @unclejuniorsoprano that's not the solution man

  • Bad news.

  • That is very sad. The whole of Congo is a mess. I think they got one thing wrong though they called they pygmy people the oldest people and I think the San are supposedly the oldest based on genetic science and anthropology.

  • Racism is discrimination based on physical characteristics, is possible in all races.

  • @worldcitizen4 "Races". Racism is viewing the world through races. This division create hierarchy, hierarchy, creates false hatred, objectification, envy, fear, and unhappiness.

    These people are suffering from colonialism, not simply racism. It's western civilization that is enslaving and destroying them.

  • @worldcitizen4 im always shocked at how many people dont understand that

  • Imagine if Europeans nabbed Pygmies as well as West Africans and brought them to the states. IMAGINE how things would be. :O

  • @killu19 THat would suck for the NBA.

  • This makes me sad beyond belief. Humans are so cruel.

  • LOL!!! niggers are racists towards the pygmies, their fellow niggers. All races are racists.

  • @101ers77 yeah dont say nigger thats not funny

  • These pygmies are actually destroying the forests through their slash and burn farming methods. They should be annihilated.

  • @101ers77 The PYGMIES are NOT slashing and burning!!!! It's the Bantu who are doing that.

  • thats so sad theyre culture has been taken away from them, this is why westerners shouldnt tamper with these tribes

  • @malakoz

    Whata re you talking about? Pygmies have always been abused by bigger tribes. This has nothing to do with westerners

  • @CarlVonNirgendwo

    yeah but the other tribes didnt strip them of their culture and way of life. they are now working in factories and alot of them are alcoholics now

  • 3:12, I got so scared for the baby. what if she would have hit him as she was swinging that tool backwards.

  • LoL the pygmys even wear clothes know!. it hought they just have some plants around their bikini zone and the reast is naked?

  • @MrAltwulf you spelled "now" wrong.

  • Not trying to sound ignorant or to be funny but society is classifying these people as Hobbits so far as them being under 5 feet,generous,being hunted,enslaved and sometimes eaten.All what the hobbits experienced Oh and also said to have magic power and sub human. all the above sounds like some Lord of the rings shit.

  • 7:27

    Those sounds were beautiful.

  • @KnwThyslf You are able to use a lot of words while simultaneously saying nothing. The most fit to their environment survive. It is clear that the Bantu are more adapt to this environment than the pygmies, due to their superior physique and intelligence.

    Tell me then, which of my proclamations are false, and for what reason?

  • Comment removed

  • @JackBlair2 You sound like the white power type. I wonder....have you ever truly looked into your true history? There was a time in midieval europe people only took baths once a year. They thought Queen Elizabeth (daughter of Henry VIII) was weird for bathing once a month. And a serf bathroom was the equivalent of a corner of the house with a pile of straw. Also, Bubonic Plague much? Talk about not throwing stones in a glass house.......btw, you're welcome fucktard.

  • I did one of those test to trace your DNA. Part of my maternal ancestry is pygmy. I want to learn as much as I can about the culture. Its sad to hear how disenfranchised they are.

  • With such a low IQ and a frail body, it's just a matter of evolution that they are overpowered by other humans.

  • @iranoutofgoodnames thats right cletus

  • Is racism unwelcome here?

  • I feel like these people are in between humans and chimps

  • if a big meteor hits the Earth...these small people, who require smaller amounts of nutrients, will survive. I'll surely miss the Dutch and all the other lanky Africans.

  • Pygmies are like the Vietnamese of Africa. They're small, indistrious, and most importantly, want to be left alone.

  • The Negros are doing this to them. The Negro is the most racist aggressive and dangerous race in the world. No matter where they go, they will cause trouble to non-Negros everywhere. The Pygmies are a close cousin to the Negro, yet the Negro enslaves them, abuse and murder them, to the point of endangerment.

  • @TheMedievalMan If only you knew how ignorant you sounded.

  • @sonicscreamingblue Tell that to the pygmies, you fucken' ignoramus.

  • @TheMedievalMan You call me an ignoramus when your way of thinking exposes you loud and clear. Who even uses the term negro anymore? It sounds like you are the type to troll any type of video that contains keywords such as africa or black. just to make laissez- faire discriminitory remarks. Btw, pygmies/batwa people are african just like the rest of the so called "negroes" you feel compelled to insult. #conversationover

  • @sonicscreamingblue How about DUMBASS, is that better to describe you? Look at the pygmies dumbass, & see how they are being wiped out by the negro race. The negro is a vile raping, violent, uncivilized race who no matter where they live, they always seem to want to cause crime & misery. Just look at South Africa as a perfect example to how they treat others & their own kind. Youre just a politically correct moron who cant see the truth. What do you want me to call them, "African American"?

  • @TheMedievalMan You're the dumb one. You can only be called African american if you are of african desent living in America. The batwa are AFRICAN. The bantu are AFRICAN. And you are also a self confessed racist, congrats to you. I implore you to tread lightly.

  • @TheMedievalMan To generalize a whole race in a negative light shows you in a poor light. Why are you even on this page? This has nothing to do with guns. Keep hiding behind cyber-space to talk garbage. I saw your channel. In real life you wouldnt say so much crap to anyones face. Especially with that lisp. You fail again.

  • @sonicscreamingblue STFU nigger. Africa is full of rape, murder, butchery & every other area of the world that possesses even a small minority of the savage negro race suffers the consequences. I just got through reading that even Japan is having trouble with negro crime in their country from negro G.I.s stationed there. Every woman should grip her purse tightly, & hold an O.C. spray in their hand when a negro walks by. Every man should grip his pistol under his shirt. Negros are savages.

  • @TheMedievalMan ::sigh:: You are a waste of time. If you have so much trouble with people of color, again I reiterate, why are you watching this vid? Why would you even bother to click on this particular video. You have a savage obsession with race and guns. If anybody should be clutching a purse it should be your neighbors. Heaven forbid the day you finally fall all the way off the deep end. You sir are a disaster waiting to happen and I pray you get the psycological counseling you need. bye

  • It's fucking slavery!!! Where's the god damn UN when you need them?

  • @pisse3000 where's the UN ever...?

  • @admmak +1 internets to you sir... It's so very sad..

  • 4:23 lol what the fuck man? this world is a goofy ass place. I guess the white man has finally been acquitted.

  • It's sad that the Bantus do to the pygmies the same thing the white man used to do to them.

  • @mrdrfez the Bantus have always done this to the Pygmies, the Khoi, and the San people. the Bantu are actually the youngest group in Africa, although there are so much more of them. They are the original Colonizers of the African Continent. They're slavery upon the other African groups is much older than American Slavery upon them, which only lasted over 400 years...

  • @revskull I have poorly worded my previous comment. What I meant to say was that it's sad how the Bantus continue to oppress non-Bantu Africans even after suffering similar injustices at the hands of European colonizers (in this case it was the Belgians who were especially cruel in the Congo). By mentioning 'white man', I was not speaking about American slaveowners but the European colonial masters who colonized Africa after long after slavery was banned in the U.S.

  • @mrdrfez understood, and agreed! Historically, you would think that the Bantu would have a different outlook...but sadly, racism and slavery are probably much more prevelant than the world outside of Africa could fathum.

  • 5 Bantus most have access to the internet to dislike this

  • How would you guys like "cloth and lemonade" as your monthly wage?

    LOL

  • If a negro eats a pygmy, is it cannibalism? The pygmies and the Floriensis are a different species. pygmies are not just tiny negroes. They are morphologically different.

  • just think once the time comes when there is no electricity in the world, these people will know how to run shit and theyll know what the fuck is up!

  • I WANT ONE!!!!

  • The "magical powers" spoken of are limited to: cannibalizing a Pygmy being believed to give the cannibal supernatural powers, and the belief that having sex with a Pygmy woman cures AIDs... absolutely despicable the way they're treated. Intermarriage with taller neighboring groups is gradually giving them larger physical stature; perhaps their only hope of acquiring a higher social status. Such meaningless suffering...

  • that's not what Turnbull said. In The Forest People, he says they're fine just how they are. But of course, that book was written in 1961, eheh... ^^;

  • that's not what Turnbull said. In The Forest People, he says they're fine just how they are.

  • 1:30 - Sounds like a Wacka Flocka song

  • Their average IQ is 54, that means pygmies are closer to chimpanzees

  • @vladimirro

    Actually the westernized people who rely on Eurocentric, institutionalized IQ tests, using cancer-causing cellphones, while watching "reality" TV shows and mimicking them are closer to chimpanzees. Monkey see, monkey do! Letting an oppressive governing institution else tell you how intelligient you are, and living in a system based on debt (where the banks own everything) shows how incredibly stupid westerners truly are.

  • @vladimirro Upon what grounds you say that?

  • they are an ugly race and to smalkl we must enslave them _ bantu male

  • @Derekhsmith ur a fucking dumb ass there human well more human than you

  • I hate this FUCKING Unilever and THERE palm oil plantations. These people don't need education and they don't need your fucking bad jobs. These people need freedom and protection and ofcourse a lot of forest.

    UNILEVER destroys big parts of the world and many peoples lives....

  • @Sharkusaf You are so right. They are very different than me, look and live different but not less worthy. I do not believe this is good for mankind. If there is a God he must surely weep for our way appears to be lost.

  • @Sharkusaf These people need some air jordans, ipods, rims, and KFCs!

  • @Sharkusaf Their lives suck.

  • ตัวเล็กมากเลย

  • The US Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal... this is commonly misconstrued to as equal talents, worth, etc... in fact, what it meant/means is that all are created equally in RIGHTS, and as such are entitled to equal rights and protections under the LAW. Nothing more, as the dutifull place of government isn't or shouldn't be concerned with anything else - certainly NOT equality of outcomes, only of legal protections. Jefferson (et. al.) never considered blacks= to whites

  • Pygmy prostitution/sexual tourism could be an answer for their economic woes. BTW: They simply are NOT equal members of the human race - check their genes.

  • Time for the little niggers to go before they breed with the rest of us (you libs would probably volunteer that, to 'save' them though, right?)! The bantoo can go too.... just look at that nigger in the red shirt and yellow shoes, just like niggers in the US.

  • @derekHSmith lmao hell yeah . . Liberals are the reason the United states is going down the drain and getting weaker. They'd rather spend time energy and money on these primitive people who don't give a shit about the country. These people and blacks for that matter are in between chimps and humans.

  • @ak34809723 - Stupid extremist fringe fucks ... can't even check out a video on Pygmies in Africa without one of you assholes talking your hateful politics.

  • @ak34809723 Pygmies& black folks are in between chimps an humans? Better that than white, souless, evil devils. I don't think white folks are human. The black man is the original man. Where the fuck whites come from?

  • @ILuvMusic4real Exactly millions of years ago black men were the original then they evolved into the other intelligent civilized races. . . .That's pretty racist that you would hate on white people like that even though I'm Korean. 

  • Time for the little niggers to go before they breed with the rest of us (you libs would probably volunteer that, to 'save' them though, right?)!

  • please forgive me if i sound racist but i trust know doc.. with white people translating

  • Blacks are slave masters in africa, how ironic.

  • This is fucking white propaganda. The western foreign powers are the root cause of Congo's problem in the first place. The manipulate many sides in the nation in order to steal its resources and then turn around and act like saviors with this documentary. That is part of the devils nature to lie and deceive. They are oversimplifying a very complex situation. I never really on the caucasian media for real truth

  • @dabcore True. Look at how they skimmed over cracker need for palm oil is causing this problem.

  • Is it true that Pygmies have a much higher IQ than Europeans and Asians?

  • @wtfisditvoorbullshit no they have a lower i.q but don't have much time (low life expectancy)

  • @wtfisditvoorbullshit No they have one of the lowest in the world, around 70.

  • its sad! why do people want these pygmies to suffer? we all give money to protect endangered animals, why not protect endangered people? i feel so sad. they have stripped down of their rights because they prefer to live in the forest. arrrgghh they will alll be punished, what goes up Congo must come down!! the thing is, in this greedy society,no one cares about no one! the bantwa will suffer, your killing off a tribe. evil people

  • What ever happened to leaving people alone? Their idea of "soaring" may not be the same as yours. People need to learn that your way isn't the only way or the best way for every one else in the world. Maybe they value their traditions and habitats and people should just leave each other alone

  • EATEN?!

  • This is very tragic and I hope that by saying this I do not offend anyone but the statement about the Pygmy people being the "oldest people in the world" is unfounded. The oldest genetic lineage of people in the world is known to be the Khoisan in southern Africa. The Pygmy people are considered to be the second oldest in the world based on genetic divergence. Nonetheless, the UN needs to expedite it's legislative process and extend it's laws to protect native peoples from acts against humanity.

  • @mitsuda Do you by oldest mean the most genetically isolate?

  • I think if they stopped yelling they just might catch something.

  • y wont the govt protect them from bein exploitd kids and woman...dats so sad. interesting to listen to their accentd french 

  • Animals in semi-human form. 

  • this blond haired idiot doesn't know what she was talking about. the TWA not pygmies were respected by the egyptians. they are on the plate of narmer. it would be some uncle tom sell out negroes to fuck with them OF COURSE for white credit system profit (industrial reasons)...the twa people must be protected. they are the seed people, the 1st who all other humans come from. they aren't primitive they simply live in accordance with nature

  • Pygmy Power World Wide, Sieg Heil...

  • @Theacorda They too live in the 21st century.

  • Damn! That one Pygmy chick at 3:30 is smoking HOT! I bet she's very populair with the other men. She's a little bit flat-chested, though, but I bet her lovely personality makes up for it! Hmm, she's probably already taken..fine women like her usually are..

    Did you guys see her?!

    Love at first sight, am I right, or am I right!

  • @wtfisditvoorbullshit lmao

    that bitch look like her name is Julius

  • @wtfisditvoorbullshit Dude, don't be an ass.

  • @Dzongka What happened? What did I say?

  • "They're the oldest people in the world" ??? Sorry, but no. Lets not make unsubstantiated scientific claims france24.

  • @ZapAvondale She meant they were among the first humans to evolve from apes to human.

  • @Castaril I know what she meant, and she's still wrong.

  • @Castaril Nope.

  • Sad as the video is, some of the comments are even more tragic. Attitudes straight out of the 18th century :<(

  • subhuman species

  • Endangered? There are 40 million of them in the US breeding like rabbits off this welfare.

  • @CrimeReport Are you talking about other blacks (negros), these people are PYGMIES.

  • Youtube has went too commercial it's time for competition to come about.

  • The palm oil factory is owned by the British. Why aren't they paying them a REAL wage?

  • hard to believe patrick ewing came from a mix of chimpanzee and and a pigmy...........

  • An endangered ethnic groups, only in the third world. That is just sad

  • :( :(

  • You know whats sad? That other Africans are more prejudiced against them then anyone else. So looked down upon that they were once eaten like other animals. Considered more like game then human. Some considered the flesh of these Pygmies had magical powers.

  • @Echostarwb

    that's good. Let those Negroes killing each others and wipe each others out.

    Split the natural resources in Africa among more intelligent nations.

  • @caonimazibai Your Bloodline is cursed just as them last time i checked Asians do the same stuff force lil kids to make toys.....sail lil girls to old men for sex...and kill people who try to improve their life...THATS WHY YOU BASTARDS HAVE EARTH QUICKS AND TSUNAMI DESTROYING YOUR COUNTRY AND ISLANDS LOL

  • It might be a good idea to donate some stuff to those little Oompa-Loompas...

    I was thinking of sending my old violin-box or some stylish shoe boxes - it could add some more 'dignity' to their funerals.

    Yeah, it's all touching to no end - just looked at the sink in the kitchen and thought, 'boy, for those people, this would be a Yakuzi!'

  • agreed 100%

  • i love the little song at 7:27. i am sorry it is for a funeral though. their story is heartbreaking.

  • Poor little things..

  • Same chromosomal makeup

  • Note allthough it seems like the jackass JackBlair2 has refrained from posting needless stupidities here I would like to clarify that allthough they do not appear here! he continues to reply to my comments with the usual verbal dhiarria with a sub normal anaema of racist soap

  • ... and it never occured to you, that you"re feeding a professional Troll?

    Beati Pauperes Spiritus ...

    DFTT ... :)

  • This woman makes me really angry at the beginning... I have a LOT to say about how wrong her choice of words is... but anyway, their lifestyle is amazing...it's unfortunate they can't live it due to industrialization... It's just so western-centric the way that the woman is talking about their lifestyle.

  • Their lifestyle SUCKS. If it was so great, we'd ALL live like this.

    We don't have anything to learn from these people - our ancestors already learned long ago that they LIKED indoor plumbing, heat, AC, etc.

  • @JackBlair2

    spoken like a true jackass

  • So what can we learn from these "people"?

    What species are they?

  • @JackBlair2 you cound not learn .

  • @JackBlair2 I think your steroid inflated lifestyle sucks and you would not survive in the wild for more than two months!

  • There is a reason I wouldn't "survive." It's because my ancestors (and yours) decided that they don't LIKE shitting on the ground and fucking out on public.

  • speak for yourself and fuck off!

  • Pygmy culture sucks.

  • @JackBlair2 you suck!

  • @preacain Honestly, I would take almost any other style of living than theirs.... But the problem is conditions.. they would probably want to change their lifestyle if they had chance to!

  • @mymusoke, I totally agree, I was feeling the same way..

  • @mymusoke true!

  • @mymusoke isn't it true? I hate you white-guilty americans, shut the fuck up

  • @mymusoke Your got it competley backwards and your information is so false. No cuture thrives without outside influence, unless your talkin about the Asiatics, tthe Sumerians, or the people of the Indus Valley or he original black man who travelled up the nile Valley to create the words first civiliztions. Everything after that is derived out of thoes original ideas. Every culture after that thrived on outseid interfenece, from invasion to trade and treaties. Especially the Europeans lol.

  • @mymusoke totally agree with you about the inherent devaluing and racism present in her wording.

  • @mymusoke Amazing my ass! These ppl are poor, unfortunate. Everyday they have to start hunting for food in the eve. Their life expectancies are one of the lowest. They work like dogs for others for almost nothing. Did you not watch the documentary?

  • @mymusoke if you've got alot to say about what she said then say it

  • A Truly amazing story of one of the worlds amazing peoples thank you for this thaught provoking video should we boycott Uniliver products or5 would it be better to write to the company or start a petition with AVANZ?

  • Let's catch some of them and put them in a pygmy zoo for Liberals to "appeciate" and marvel at.

  • @JackBlair2 I do hope that this is an attempt at humour

  • Do these people have lower IQ than other people ?

  • No, they're the same as anyone else

  • I did search google and it seems that they have very low average IQ, only 52

  • Thanks for sharing the information, so now what do we do?
