The Slave Trade

[deanmullen10]

11th Century: Social Classes within a single race (Fedual System)

18th Century: Social Classes within a single species (Slave Trade)

21st Century: Social Classes within a single planet (Meat industry)

The connections are clear, 18th century folk took the slave trade as for granted just as much as your average 21st century folk takes the meat industry for granted in my opinion, now in the 1st step of the truth denial, revolution & acceptance will come.

Stop sexism, racism and speciesm.

[Shamaryaho1]

@jhonk768 yes they brought the desendents of so called black irishmen to amerikkka, to serve slavery some of them were lighterskinned because of so called black fathers, St patrick was a so called blackman, but they never brought so called white irishmen to serve slavery, they used them as they use them today for task masters and servants, but the men from ireland with so called black fathers were brought to serve bondage, Slavery

[UkGrimeTAKEOVER]

why no pictures of the irish slaves ?

[ladymusiclover]

@UkGrimeTAKEOVER I agree with you. I think many people don't realise the Irish were slaves as well.

[PraylanAqWorlds]

wow

[iHazSupaMclovin]

Is it me or is the guy who is the cover of this video Lil Wayne?

[Kwizmatix]

@iHazSupaMclovin LOL.... Just might be being that there isn't even corresponding name and the dates seem to be relatively random as well. Perhaps somebody need to post this vid as a video response to a Lil Wayne vid. Very amusing. lol.

[ttheleatherman]

the first slaves came to America in 1555 not 1830 check out history records

[AharonBenYsrayl]

the slaves and the decendants are hebrew israelites from the bible. understanding is to be had.

Do you think slavery is still affecting African Americans?? copy and paste the link below:

[mssquirrely]

The act abolished the slave trade in the British Empire, BUT NOT SLAVERY ITSELF;

slavery continued to exist in Britain until the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833.

[stepheng1483]

Jews dominated the slave trade, they owned the majority of slave ships and slaves. The book The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews proved this using only historic Jewish documents.

[cocoaj13]

Its better to die than to be a coward. Since they were afraid and feared to put up a resistant and fight, they got what was coming to them.

[najami12]

Google "Dr. Lewis Steiner" and see how blacks fought in the Confederate Army!

[Geistxxxx]

All well the past is that past. worst things have happond in the world than the little slave trade. like ww1 and ww2 .

[miznikkijohnson]

@Geistxxxx omg how could you say such a thing yes ww1&2 were bad but those slaves were seperated from there home and families children were taken away from mothers and fathers sisters and brothers were torn apart wives never saw their husbands again yes ppl died also in ww1&2 but the slaves were treated as animals. not humans acttually i would say that the dog was given more respect from the white man or slave owners. next time you say somthing make sure you say it in a way that isnt offensive:(

[najami12]

Google the name "Dr. Lewsi Steiner" and see how in your American Civil War blacks served in the Confederate Army!

[zuniga6412]

That was powerful. My heart just breaks when i think of all the cruelty that those people went through. I would of died of a broken heart back in the day. I would of never made it. I can't understand how people can be so heartless. And still today their are so many people who think they are better than one ethnicity or they other.

[carnypimp]

You know what is funny many black people now thank Lincoln for freedom of slavery LMAO. Coming back begging your master for food is not free. No work no gold no food is not free. It was a laugh for the republicans they got browny points for so they never really freed anyone. It was not well thought out or that was there evil plan to make them think they where free. I bet they knew that it would be worse for the slaves. Once again people punked by the republicans when will it stop?

this does not really help , please could someone give me a usefull site for slave trade x

[EBanonymous]

This is a terrible documentary. 1) You use copyrighted music and for what? It doesn't even rfer to the slave trade.

2nd you just put pictures up there. Why don't you xplain who theose people were and WHAT they had to do w/ the slav trade.

Start w/ Frederick DOuglass. He wasn't even born until after it was abolished. Yes it continued anyway, but you mix the US & Britain.

What is the point of this dribble?

[Foxburg]

In reply: 1) Copyrighted music is familiar to students, the words have a deeper meaning, students were asked to explore the meaning of the word one.

2) as a hook the idea is to ignite interest not explain, that is done in much more detail.

3) we are looking at the Atlantic slave trade, thus covered all the continents surrounding the Atlantic Ocean, Frederick Douglass was born in 1818, an American Abolitionist who saw emancipation of the slaves in the

@EBanonymous At least he took the time to make video for others to gain knowledge, what have you done???

[forlawson1]

@EBanonymous -this song is relevant, listen to the lyrics. It's talking abt. one love, no differences, and dealing with demons for the wrong that you do against a people or person

[ABHINAVNR]

Fuck the white man!!!The gr8est devil of all time.

[copperhead46]

@ABHINAVNR

You don't know much about slavery except black slavery huh? EVERY CULTURE HAS HAD SLAVES AT SOME POINT IN TIME, NOT JUST WHITE PEOPLE.

i just can't believed this happned!!!!!

it make me feel so sick

thinking about it and looking at this make me cry!!!!

to think people could do this!!!!!!!!!

people are animals!! they cause nothing but problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paladinee]

This is still happening in some parts of the planet, but who cares there poor, sad but true.

[GloryGal2009]

Now is the time for us "white" people AND "black" people to wake up. Now is the time to unite in love. The end is near. I hurt and cry that the colored people were treated as so. Research Hebrew Israelites and we just may have some better understanding of how this slavery truly came about. I am so sorry that this happened and I am so sorry that we still see a division between us all. It has to end.

[holasalutkonnichiwa]

you are awesome!

[thewaynetones]

@GloryGal2009 i agree

[dblazesr]

@GloryGal2009 the Hebrew Israelite theology is utter b.s. British means people of the covenant in Hebrew and Welsh. God promised Solomon he would have a descendant on the the throne forever. Where is your black king? There has been a conspiracy to who the Israelites are, but their in fact white. The British throne descends from ancient Israel and is the throne of Christ. Elizabeth II knows this but her and the elites keep this secret to replace law given to Moses with oppressive man made laws.

[Tladams1986]

"Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee." (Deut. 28:48)

"And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever." (Jeremiah 17:4)

[Tladams1986]

"And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt (bondage) again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy (redeem) you." (Deut. 28:68)

[bonfirejovi]

everyone please research the secret the forgotten holocaust better know as the arab slave trade which had a genocide number of over 140 million people over 14 centuries. It was even more evil than the transatlantic slave trade but never talked about.

[hooglander13]

400 year newyork-amsterdam

we in holland shame us for him

so we say now SORRY for the HOLOCAUST  we brought tou you people.

you where the humans and WE where the apes

[PlavOciZena]

very good video

[yellowmellow0]

some of my familie was in this :(:(:(:( im very sad about it :( i hate racist people (its the black poeple wat are my familie )

[StefanX1979]

It's a simple fact that they make a mess in a lot of country's. Hiding behind the anger against the white successful man. Pointing at a small part of history. Once again: Slavery is a part of the past of humanity. It happend in all races in different periods of time. So stop crying black man. Take your responsibility and make something out of your continent. On your

[StefanX1979]

If you take a look to the past 5000 years. There are a lot different groups of people being slaved. White's who slaved white's. Blacks who slaved blacks. And everything in between. I think it's wrong in any form. But the black man is hiding his responsibility behind that part of history.

[vickyjomarieev]

when was olaudah equiano captured ? i need that info for my homework...i can't seem to find the date... i need help...

[nelluccia78]

It's good to have the opportunity to be reminded about the errors from the past that influenced and sadly continue to do so in the present time.....

[AranxNiomii]

This was a really great video. i hate people who think slavery wasn't that bad. They should try being slaves. The saddest part is that slavery still exists.

[itsBIGbouncedawg]

where about's ?

[EbonyNewsChannel]

@itsBIGbouncedawg In Africa, In Asia, IN ISRAEL, IN AMERICA.. It is found mostly in the form of SEXUAL slavery.. especially of children.

[Fridomfry]

Yes, slavery still exists. Algerian anthropologist Malek Chebel recently published "L'esclavage dans les pays musulmans" ("Slavery in Muslim countries"). The book tells mostly about history, including European Christians or black Africans captured and eslaved by Arabs. It also reveals that, for example Mauritania possesses 200,000 slaves. Same in some other Arab countries.

[AfreeQueen]

I agree... Slavery is mostly mental now.

[walt7500]

@AranxNiomii Where does slavery exists? Not in Europe!!! Arabs en Indians still holding slaves. Slavery in Europe was abolished centeries ago! African were slave traders!

[lokrenzo]

@AranxNiomii REALLY WHERE IS THAT

[StevieLakeSophie]

@AranxNiomii I agree cause how would the white people like to be whipped, humiliated and hurt when they are serving you at no cost and you just hurt them and cause them pain. They didn't even have proper clothes to wear!! I think that if slavery continues the white people should have a go at being slaves, dress in practically nothing and be hurt when they have done nothing wrong!!

[falcons176]

white people just can't do their own dam work

[rwm89]

what? maybe the upper classes can't do their own work but there were millions of white irish and working class slaves in the british empire before african slaves were brought over. black slaves were a very small percentage compared to the irish infact.

[Geistxxxx]

@falcons176 What and blacks can lol

[jackson6806]

awesome...thankx

[budfr]

I am spaniard-mexican I feel guilty. Why the fuck did my ancestors made the stupidity of bringing those lazy folks to cuba, puerto rico, this continent??

[kakompo]

So what you are saying is that ALL of them are lazy?? No exceptions?? And your ancestors are ALL hard working. Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound. I doubt you do. That is stereotyping.

[rwm89]

i completely agree with you, but its also as ridiculous as saying that white people as a majority are responsible for slavery.

[llc4cod]

Iam white british and afro caribbean roots if there wasnt a slave trade I WOULDNT BE HERE TODAY. Technically every black person in the americas and caribbean has ancestors who were shipped from africa same as my ancestors, really i feel grateful for this because its true i wouldnt be here. Iam sad i cant trace what country in africa or any languages or names but i do know my ancestor had to buy his freedom as much as this sadness iam grateful and i feel every black person in america should b 2

[yunstarr502]

ur lost go find yourself and every blk man is not from africa most slaves were already in america do your homework and quit accepting everything that is told to you as truth. they want you to settle for less not care. the end

[MichaelMCurtis]

yunstarr502 : ) This reply comes from finding myself in GOD as His servant , when finding every BM/BW was not from Africa but was the result of slave breeding the slaves like animals ie. Pres .Thomas"Incest Rapist" Jefferson ! So homework was done for completing a masters degree program here in Munich in experimental psych for breaking this 400 yr terrible curse by not accepting what was told as truth. ... An Old School expatriate African-American brother from the ´Hood of Cincinnati .

[truthseekerprophet]

..during which time our people inflicted defeat after defeat upon the Arab armies sent to suppress the revolt.This rebellion is known historically as the "Revolt of the Zanj" or the "Revolt of the Blacks."It is significant to point out that the Zanj forces were rapidly augmented by large-scale defections of Black soldiers under the employ of the Abbassid Caliphate at Baghdad...

[Larkin1907]

The fact is this: Human beings sold other human beings as though they were nothing more than goods. That's barbarism regardless of the colour of the humans involved on either side of the transaction.

'Blacks'? 'Whites'? There's the problem right off. Why not refer to black people or white people if you feel you must refer to the colour of a fellow human being at all?

The only race is the human race. Anyone who says different is a racist.

[britishbulldog5505]

So many people still have a chip on their shoulder about this, they need to get a grip. It was only the other day some idiot was asking Queen Elizabeth to apologise for the slave trade, WTF?!

My great uncle was a slave on the Siam-Burma Railway under the Japanese in WW2, and I don't go round demanding fucking apologies from the Japanese Emperor!!

[Standardfrank]

britishbulldog - The Queen unfortunately, is a prisoner in her own malarky. The Monarchy-Crown had and has very little or nothing to do with servitude and peonage of Africa etc. The Monarchy did not colonise, it was the crown-bankers who owned and continue to own the planet. Queen E is a slave herself, to the bankers of the city of london and with her yearly renewal of her contract to the bankers she enslaves every one else. Guess who owns title to your birthcertificate? Yep, the Queen.

[Standardfrank]

bbd5505 - The Queen can't apologise for slavery because slavery is voluntary. African slavery was not slavery it was servitude and peonage and not slavery. S&P is not voluntary it is involuntary. So the Queen has nothing to apologise for...not even for your slavery as she is a slave herself to the banker's that own her.

[pootie13]

I might start listening to Johnny Cash now.

[Olabisi19]

Don't tell me what I already know. If blacks captured slaves is that an excuse for the white slave masters to capture them as well? You don't treat humans as property and why couldn't the white slave owners make their own people slaves or just get up and do their own work around the house or in the field (lazy fuckers)

[trustusyeahright]

our spirit was not as easy to break, that is why native americans were not effective, They would die before live as a slave. I am not saying slavery was right it was horrible and cruel and cause the racial mess with have in the united states. white and black people get along in lots of other countries

[PowahCow]

I dont understand that people actually have guilt for this, i know that my ancestors where are a part of this, but I didn't supported slave trading, its ridicilous to blame white people these days for slave trading.

[trustusyeahright]

i dont have guilt ( i thought it was wrong) when people talk about reparation i say kiss my white ass.

[tousamis]

Blacks were sold to whites by blacks from ennemies tribes, so everyone should be judjed by History and not only whites. Also, something people forget all the time : It's because whites changed things that slavery stopped. Slavery still exists today in Africa and i don't hear blacks complaining about it nowadays so it's too easy to always charge whites, it's pure racism.

Hugo

[nbhustlacom]

This is how you know that you are not in touch with the world. Blacks have been crying out for years about what is going on in africa. I guess you never heard of Steven Biko, Nelson Mandela,Azanian People's Organization (AZAPO), look you should really get your facts right before commenting. And for the record I want every white person to understand this," Slavery did not end 100 yeard ago.Lets not forget the 60's&70's, King,X,Kennedy's.Blacks arent on gaurd for no reason. Open your eyes!

[gangstadread]

yu talkin shit. it was no where near "most" slave dealers were africans, there werent any afrikan slave dealers. they occasionally sold prsoners from other tribes, to whites, so they could buy guns, to help them be able to fight the whites. also, the onli "bad" africans, were corrupted by whites. thats like calling a black guy nowadays, bad, just because he is selling drugs to feed his little kids. people have to adapt to their situation, or die. the africans who sold africans, didnt want deatch

[britishbulldog5505]

That's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever read in my life

[htssnr1]

Great video! *****!

[inthezone192]

omgosh,im 14 and watching this is hard.its really hard,and im doing the slave trade in school,and its really sad,

[xxganjaxx123]

all the people who hear talk of whites being evil false yes many were but most were not mostly just rich white men were the racist lots of white people helped african americans escape to canada and they were not the only slaves there were white slaves befor african slaves threw out all history till around the 1800's like the hebrew forced to work from almost birth like blacks to do slave work both were tourchered and even on in history whites were tourched inslaved raped but by other whites

[Foxburg]

Olabisis19 although I understand where your anger comes from I cannot see how punishment helps, surely we are looking to reform human society to a level where dehumanizing people is seen by all to be wrong?

[Olabisi19]

I wish that the  people who made black people slaves would recieve enternal punishment. Why is a question that echoes in my mind. Who made your Grandfathers God. You beat children, seperated them from their mothers, raped women, spat at us, treated us like we were not part of the human race, yet you continue. It feels like your your hurting someone who is already injured. You are cold and heartless and because of that I hope your children rot with you racists

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

hey olabisi who do you think captured the slaves, fellow blacks,slavery was in africa,over a thousand years before thet whites arrived in africa,and slavery continues in africa to this day,so get off your high horse and point the finger closer to home, from the days of the pharoahs there was slavery,the barbary pirates from around morrocco,they raided europe and took white slaves,raiding as far as ireland and southern england , arab slavers and black slavers sold the slaves to whites for america

[dannyjam]

Hi. I'm a white person and trust me you wont like me saying this, but this video is as hard for me to watch as you. You struggle with anger. I struggle with guilt. Try to see people as individual. These things happened before I was born I couldnt prevent it. When I look at those pictures I wanna kill those men too. We HAVE to learn from history. thats easy for me to say from the white "side" of things. But seriously. If I was to say sorry to you 1000 times for what they did would it really help?

[mamoummoute]

Actually what you've written already helps.

so if you were to say sorry 1000 times (which I don't ask you to do), for me, it would make a difference (slight, but still, it would be different from those who say there will never be sorry at all)

[timboslayer]

I didn't do any of that. I don't do that today either. And won't in the future.

A small minority of Europeans were involved in this era of slave trading, don't forget.

While this was going on, my ancestors at the time were peasants. They made nothing from it as the money was largely gained by capitalists based in large cities with ports.

In the British context, those who benefited were the elite - extreme poverty thrived all over Britain, while the empire made her "rich."

[JollyRodders]

@Olabisi19 "I wish that the people who made black people slaves would recieve enternal punishment.">> Are you just talking about whites or does that include the black slave traders too..??

[emzielooz]

you only know what you read!! u wert there so i think everyone should just live for the future and not the past..

it was a horrible thing to do but hey we are in 2008 not the 1800's !!

we did not take on slaves cause we was not alive then so i sugest we all get along no matter what what coulor we are we are all the same we all have a heart and a brain and also organs!!

[AgouraMo]

No one group on the planet has a monopoly on pain and suffering. Every group has done horrible things to themselves and others. You cannot take the blame or credit for what other people did who may have looked like you did in the past. You are responsible for yourself. End of story. The only history that really matters is your own. So make it a good one. All the best.

[pinkcorner13]

its so sad and unfair!

[timboslayer]

There was slave trading between African tribes long before the foreign slavers arrived. The 1st of these were Arabs who began taking from the East of Africa. Then the Europeans came. The British first abolished it in 1807 but that law was not properly enforced until 1837 (so this memorial is all a bit premature really). The last state to abolish it was Mauritania in 1980 (yes) and they are now starting to enforce that law. Slavery's still prolific in Africa, now, and for the foreseeable future.

[truthseekerprophet]

It was in early Iraq where the largest African slave rebellions occurred. Here were gathered tens of thousands of East African slave laborers called Zanj. These Blacks worked in the humid salt marshes in conditions of extreme misery. Conscious of their large numbers and oppressive working conditions the Zanj rebelled on at least three occasions between the seventh and ninth centuries. The largest of these rebellions lasted for fifteen years, from 868 to 883..before 1800's. but you are right.

[eatmyplum]

the spanish and portugeese started the slave trade they wouild steal us from our tribes. the brittish traded for them and we sold them our rival tribe members.

[notevenhuman]

u notice if u put a white man and a black man in a room together, the first things they notice is that they are black and white whether they like it or not. If u put a black child like 5 yrs old and a white child the same age, that is the last thing they notice, they don't judge by appearance, thats how everybody should be

[yhungateezah]

One - Jonny Cash, from the U2 original, I (obviously) prefer this version

[bipbop2]

they had no room, and they had to poo and wee where they were sitting, imagine that!! most of them died by being crushed,thrown overboard,diseased and even drown because if the ship started to sink they would still be chained the boat and the english would flee WITHOUT helping anyone! they had to stay in the same position for 2-6 weeks!

Zalwangos, who are you talking about there? my firend is anti racist he is white his entire family loves everyone they are so nice but you judge them for being white? the spanish and portegees started the slave trade so blame them.

[Grooveriff]

it's not about blame. it's about carrying healthy regret so as to treat the least amongst us as good as we can in modern times. Slavery won't come back in the U.S.. We're all armed and too principled. but there is a lesson to be learned. if we're going to place blame then it goes on everyone, not a race or person... humanity. Individual action is where you make the difference. It's the one thing you do everyday, having this in mind, that helps you understand someone or situation and act/react2it

[AranxNiomii]

Stupid. Don't you know anything? The British didn't allow slaves. Nor did Quakers or some whites. In fact, when the new law was passed having all slaves be returned to non-free states, slaves then escaped with the help of QUAKERS and others of the Underground Railroad (which has whites) the ran to Canada (WHICH WAS BRITISH!!)

[adhdboy699]
