  • It is not a defense of slavery, but as a factual matter SOME "slaves" did receive a wage. Regardless of whether or not they received money wages, they received food, clothing, and shelter.

    They were also FOR THE MOST PART denied educations, although this is not true in an absolute sense. Consider the stories of slaveowners who eventually "freed" their own slaves. Along the way, these owners usually prepared the blacks by 'educating' them to at least some degree, and paying them.

  • ****PEOPLE, PLEASE READ MY COMMENTS IN THE YOUTUBE VIDEO “MICHAEL MOORE VISITS MADISON”!!! (THEY BEGIN ON COMMENT PAGE 2)

  • Black slaves in America didn't get paid. They are called slaves for a reason. Paying a slave is like returning your tax return back to the government. You just don't do that.

  • LMAO.,.. @ SPOREGOD...UR JEWISH AND U DONT CARE...I AM BLACK AND I AM DISGUSTED... U CANT BE REALLY JEWISH...UR A LIAR

  • Comment removed

  • this is STUPID! my family is Jewish... FUCK YOU Michael Moore.

  • @SporeGod42 so do u think there were any of ur family working in those slave labor factories ? I guess u think they enjoyed it...well I hope in the next war when u r in the forced labor factories u have a great time...I think u deserve that

  • SOOO SAD...I AM NOT JEWISH...BUT I AM DISGUSTED...I WILL NEVER LOOK AT BMW THE SAME AGAIN!!

  • if you understand german, watch the german tv documentary "Das Schweigen der Quandts (The Silence of the Quandts)" /watch?v=Ish1HjsOARY

    this family of billionairs (the Quandts) are the main stock holders of BMW (~47%). their fortune is solely built on forced labour and expropriation during the nazi-regime. up to today they refuse any admission of guilt, let alone paying compensations.

    i wished someone would sue them, or at least the world to stop buying BMWs.

  • This guys a asshole. He blames individuals for problems not only made by groups but ones made in the past in a period as unstable as that.

  • the german state did not compensate enslaved nations for the horible crimes of ww2 the nazi did

  • thanks michael, this is the kind of truth the corporate media doesn't find news worthy. henry ford was a supporter of hitler, and general motors kept discrete business ties to germany during ww2. not to mention car companies in this country had to be forced to help in the war effort, they we're more concerned about their bottom line than the countries needs. nothing has changed.

  • Fucking hell. Only 10 years before the war, people were dying from starvation because of the Great Depression. They did what they had to do to survive. 50 years after the second world war, some Jewish guy goes up to a car manufacturer in the United States and complains about something he should have worried about some time just after the war.... with the GERMAN government. Seems to me that this guy is one of those "Look at me. I was living in Europe during the war. I'm Jewish. Pay me." types.

  • why does it not suprise me that the jews are after more money that dont belomg to them ...so fuck they had to work hard like the rest of the people that where oppressed during nazi rule ,boo fucking hoo .stop killing palastinies and emulating nazi's then we might feel sympathy for your plight ,which is bullshit anyway ,,,how many died in the holocaust this week ,oh can the adl still not agree on a figure .suprise suprise ..lies will always be found out ,,suck satans cock you zionist fucks

  • i feel just like this peopl a slave "I Used to Work 4 bmw but not any more : 7 days ago they just throw me out!?‎temprery 2years some ather peapl to7You'll Never Get A permanent job in there even though i have a very good employee reference i got so often hurti bleed it outI can't believe they didn't.  lat me go to the doc i just wanna say bmw münchen Where I used to work it is slave labor it's forever

  • BMW should pay restition to all Survivors at the prevailing wage of the day as well as a penalty should be assessed for back pay and paid out to Simon Wesenthal mussem, the Shoah foundation and other organizations to help us remember what unchecked imperialism can do.

  • The awful truth bill guy sounds like a mafioso, hes gonna talk to t' big boss. Vito lets go

  • this kinda seemed fake

  • All the brits bashing the USA for killing American indians, slavery etc. The USA is a 5th rate amature compared to Great Brit in the extermination business

  • @inkey2 its true. my city is one of the wealthiest in the UK because of that Colston prick and his slavery business. i think its about time our queen gave the stolen diamonds back too. shit man, we are so far up US asshole we can smell the receipts from the weapons you sold the middle east.

  • @inkey2 I think you need to check your facts son. !2 million native Americans and 2 million Vietnamese to get the ball rolling.

  • this planet needs to be liberated from those capitalist sub humans!when will those aliens finally bring the true D-Day??

  • BASTARDS...BMW SUCKS!!!!!!!!

  • when he says that BMW were victims of the war, he's technically saying that the Nazis were victims of the Nazi's

  • well he's Dead so as the saying goes.... you cant beast a .... horse

    blogs.wsj.com/.../bmw-releases­-details-of-marketing-chief-pi­tneys-death/

  • what about african americans? what about the Native americans?

  • omg the elderly people are so precious! and they are doing these precious people wromg and that makes me upset!

  • When are the yanks going to pay the Native Americans for estimated 12 million Natives they murdered?

  • @truckerfromreno when is GB going to pay back all the irish and Indians they murdered

  • @inkey2 You first.

  • @truckerfromreno no, YOU FIRST, (what ever that means)

  • @truckerfromreno no...YOU first... (what ever that means)

  • @truckerfromreno restitution for some of the tribes has been given. Also america formally appologized for it, Yet to hear any word from Spain, or England though.

  • @mxrss You apologized for it. ha ha ha What a childish 9 and very American) thing to say. Whitey go home - American belongs to the native Americans.

  • @truckerfromreno First off you do know that almost every race and creed has been pissed on at some point right? Lets take for instance that you are from the UK, you do know that the British empire commit horrendous crimes, against, America, Ireland, Scotland, India, The Caribbean, Africa, Germany etc and so forth. Second, we have given Indians back land, while i dont agree with what we gave them they do have land that is soverign. Two we have also given some tribes windfalls with constructing

  • @mxrss Scotland? ha ha That is part of Great Britain. Germany? ha ha Fuck off, now you are taking the piss. Whatever the British did, we did it bigger and better, and for much longer than your crumbling little empire ever did.

  • @truckerfromreno You do know that they fought for the independence you do know who Sir William Wallace is right? They fought for their independence Scotland was not originally found by the roman empire (your ancestors) there were tribes already living there.Also america took many ideals from Scottland.

  • @mxrss Wallace was a Hollywood movie you knobhead. Silly boy. 

  • @truckerfromreno Please see history -- While the depiction of William Wallace in Braveheart might be fictional it does not mean he did not exist. See Battle of Stirling bridge, or how about the battle of falkirk. They also made movies about King Henry does that mean he did not exist as well, as well as Benjamin Franklin was he fictional character or how about King George the III.

  • @mxrss If Mel Gibson is in it it must be bollocks. The English fought for its own independence and created a republic almost 150 years before those English rebels in colonies threw of King George and created another republic. However, as history has shown- republics aren't built to last.

  • @mxrss Tribes? It's not Africa mate.

  • @truckerfromreno For crimes against germany see the Bombing of Dresden, or how about the looting that british allied troops did when invading germany?

  • @mxrss America was never bombed unlike the cities in Britain so you don't what you're talking about. despite never having been bombed (on your mainland), you firebombed Japanese cities killing 90,000 women and children on just one night. The Germans started it - so fuck 'em. We all saw how you reacted when a few hits some ugly buildings on 9/11- you fucking shit yourselves. If you had been bombed like London was you'd have surrendered by teatome on the first day.

  • Its intresting you do think I control what the US government does? I don't I am not an ambasador, a president, a governor or a congressman. I have no control over what the US does. I am not part of the Military. So when you say YOU. Your implying i have control when clearly I dont. My comments to you were to show you that NO COUNTRY in the world is innocent and to have the his chip on your shoulder about america when history shows that Britain is no better is just ludicrous.

  • @mxrss We are better.

  • @truckerfromreno

    LOL dream on you buck toothed moron. I smell a jealous limey whose wishing to go back to the old days. Your empire is a has-been and we're on top now, get over it.

  • And by your logic two wrongs make a right? I know what america does is not always right rather to say I know what hte US govt does is not always right. But to be on your mighty horse and say hey i am from brittan and we have never caused as much destruction or genocide on the wolrd is ludicrous. Learn some history before you go spouting your unsupported conclusion because based on eveidence of the facts you just want to start fights with no facts to back them up.

  • @mxrss casinos, they pay some taxes on it but not as much as vegas or other insitutions have made. Second large expanses of these terriotries were STOLEN from the Indians before we got here and found america, the french had a large colony that we bought in the Louisiana purchase. Lastly if we do this they are all the indian nations who qualred and exceeded thier emprie through blood are going to give that land to thier descendants that they fought a war with?

  • why the fuck should BMW pay for bullshit fuckhouse coming from big noses jews

  • @harj2009 holy shit you are a fucking moron. You type this crap and you don't see how fucked up it is. It is completely amazing. In the presence of all you know, your capacity for ignorance is astounding. You should put yourself on display in a freak show. You would make a lot of money stunning people with your deliberatly self imposed ignorance .

  • @doingsomthing you lost the game

  • @harj2009 holy shit you are a fucking moron. You type this crap and you don't see how fucked up it is. It is completely amazing. In the presence of all you know, your capacity for ignorance is astounding. You should put yourself on display in a freak show. You would make a lot of money stunning people with your deliberatly self imposed ignorance . Now why don't you respond with an equally ignorant statement

  • An official letter of apology from each of the auto manufacturers would be good. At the very least it could restore their public image in the public´s eyes.

  • its the jewish investion..soo tell d whole world evrythng is made by jew. whn i wore things made in izrael, i feel so honour tht these jewish made for me...feel quite goood

  • How many Jewish people drive around in Mercs and Bm's nowadays?

    Just -sayin'?

    Brake

    My

    Windows.... (Classic!)

  • @shipmaker14 they are too cheap to drive one. Well at least the ones I know...

  • historys history shit happens, so what u r not compensated; the main things ur alive and money wont solve jacks shit! The main thing out of history is to see what mistakes were done and make sure that this wont happen again.

  • its in the past u need to leave these things in the past and just let go y bring all hat sadnes and horror into the 21st century, wouldnt being paid for this seem like cheapening what happened like saying its ok cause we paid them, we need to move on.

  • @dalhar20, ur fun stupid, it wasn't a past generation, they were the actual survivors dumb ass.

  • How are you going to hold BMW employees accountable for actions of a past generation it didn't make since

  • Haha, Americans: "Oh my god this is awful!! SLAVE LABORERS AND THEY ARE NOT PAYING THEM!? You guys are evil"

    What about the african slaves you had?

    "Dude that's in the past now ok? We all want to move on, now can we just forget about it?"

  • @im4everskilled i agree with u time to move on

  • Nazi's V. Moore Warning too hilarious and touching to be seen....... ah fuck it roll the tape

  • The real issue is far more BMW admitting their guilt then survivors receiving any amount of dollars. Though, who would mind receiving a nice check while they admit their guilt? Not me!

  • i did watch it and learned a valuable lesson from it - that private-industry slave labor forces are treated far better than govt-run slave labor forces.

  • i thought that germany holocausted its slave labor force. isn't this what has been told to the american populace? we have an endless barrage of movies saying that adolph rothschild hitler and the nazi party did this

  • @kroovyandcal That is incorrect. The Nazis kept those who were useful around, at least until they exhausted and had to replace them. Even in the concentration camps the inmates had to work themselves close to death before they were deemed worthless and gassed. The fact that the Nazis didn't just execute their workforce is the basic premise of Schindler's List, by the way. You should watch it.

  • man im never buying BMW!

  • lol big boss!

  • is "the awful truth" a movie?

    or a bunch of independent videos?

    or what? please tell me, if tis a movie i have to watch it.

  • @BluDavid100 Just a TV Show that Moore create...

  • Thats why i'm buying japanese for my next car. The japs used American POWs to help make their cars.

  • the money wud be better spent stopping slavery that stil happends in other parts of the world? rather than trying to pay for something that no amount of money could fix

  • Ahhhh, Nazis were friends of capitalists .

    But how is that,if their name included National SOCIALIST Party?

    How can that be?

  • @shurednichso It's simple, they lied.

  • @shurednichso to mix people up and cash in after the 1917 revolution that was happening worldwide and trying to stop the international socialist party , thats why they made it their own sauce , national socialist wich was a crock of shit , pretty much like china is , socialism failed capitalism failed too just watch it hit the drain soon.

  • Money is bad! Who cares about slaved jews, these old people don't need millions of dollars. If everybody needs to pay money for what he did, what about america to vietnam or to japan? They nuked hiroshima for nothing!

  • I'm never going to buy a car from B.M.W. now.

  • @darmokandgalad Is it because the BMW logo looks like a swaztika?

  • I'm afraid that if you want payment for slavery, you will have a very long queue, because your government has you ALL enslaved! "Wake up call - new world order - revised" spread the word and stop slavery.

  • Tell it like it is. Go Michael We love you! MY HERO / Last honest man!

  • @hypothalamus52 he is quite good at manipulating facts and twisting your emotions. But I'll admit every now and again he has something good to say

  • @yugai15

    You're talking about Michael Moore? Can you provide an example of where he has manipulated the facts in an incontestable manner?

  • @darmokandgalad

    perhaps you misunderstand. He takes facts and uses them to manipulated people into agreeing with him. He does not lie but..well let's take Bowling for Columbine for example. He made a lot of people I know start blaming guns for the problem, and not the real causes.

    He's not a liar..or at least I cannot prove it but he uses lots of bias and other methods to make him seem right. Not always a bad thing but manipulative it sure is.

  • @yugai15 a gun is the most quintessential representation of violence in the media this is the saddest thing. if the columbine kids wanted to they could have used bombs in a suicide attack that would be much deadlier and easier to do. anyone can make a bomb hell, anyone can make a gun with 2 pieces of pipe and some trinkets. I think Moore is funny as hell but he does not change my believes. Moore preaches what he believes but he is just a man and men can be wrong and lead people astray.

  • People dont wanna hear the truth.business as usual

  • look at all those windows.... u know what BMW stands for? "break my windows.." lol

    Awesome

  • Moore is a pop culture marxist faggot..

    thumb this down all you like pop lemmings

  • @nickway100 / please define Marxist faggot? Thank You

  • 1939 there were 300,000 Polish soldiers were forced to work as slave laborers in German factories for zilch, oh, maybe a bit of gruell and avoid a lashing & kicking. by 1944 there were 2.8 million Poles plus about another 2.8 million from other occupied countries, that's a big heap of compensation.

  • ok... so... just... I'm wondering, in the end where the dude breaks the window of the BMW... They actually had to *buy* the BMW in order to be allowed to smash the window without having criminal charges pressed against them... right? Or... am I missing something there?

  • stupid

  • next time i buy a bmw'r prob 2 - 3 years from now, im 18, i gonna bring this shit up after i buy their car, let's see how they take some criticsm, btw they don't fix everything, i had a pressure problem and they didn't fix the computer for like 2 monthes, wtf!

  • In a world where corporates are kings, people are slaves.

  • Greed is Good....go fuck yourself

  • Comment removed

  • wow. corporations are all the same. crooks.

  • BMW should have told Hitler to fuck off !

    I wonder what would happen ?

    6,500 ? Wow ! Atleast give them a car

    or mo $ !

  • if they get money for "slave labor", so should the descendants of black slaves.

  • how fucking CHEAP can you get ??? i didnt know this and im german !! i will never buy any bmw product or licenced product again until they have resolved this isseu. i just hope ther will be someone left to collect it. and 6 grand is pathetic !!!!

  • This is in direct correlation with the United States government buying up our automobile industries. They raise the prices of gas and hold the auto industries hostage!!!

  • Yeah give them money,that'll fix everything.

  • no,it wont . its not the money they want . its recognition for their suffering during the war . and its insane that a rich company as bmw,who has survived because of the slave labour,refuses to pay and just waits for the people to die. only money will hurt the company,nothing else. so they should be made to pay a reasonable sum to the victems and not 6 grand !! thats an insult !!

  • It's money,it resolves nothing.

  • Comment removed

  • its a smal plaster on the wound. ofcourse it doesnt take away the pain. but what would you suggest ?? just let them rott ?? no compansation for the suffering that bmw inflicted ? or germany for that matter ?? finance is the only way to hurt these companies and countries . if they would not have stopped hitler and fascism,in what kind of world would you live now ?

  • @jogga123

    Hey dear jogga123 :) you can send your surplus money to me!

  • Germany has being paying billions to the jews and still as we speak and will be for ever....and made them the richest nation on earth....

  • and very rightfully so !! to pay i mean. that they have a welthy nation is deu to a lot of other factors aswel,not just the war. i am german born and still feel shame as far as my country's history goes !! even though it was before my time. so if germany is paying for their part,why cant bmw ???

  • CENSORED.....BULLSHIT

  • what is wrong with you, asriomostlalg? Aside from an inability to write and spell "puppet" properly...are you as soulless as Pitney was in this video?

  • Dear BMW,

    SHAME ON YOU

  • Sal is the SHIT!

  • Why?

  • Heinrich ? BMW means Break My Window ROFL

  • what a BAMF (Bad Ass Mother Fucker) lawyer Italian Gangster...

  • Whatever people say about Michael Moore, he always does his homework. I highly doubt that he wouldn't be aware of any settlement - at least at the time of this production. Note: there doesn't appear to be any video responses.

  • what about china , a comunist nation, and evething that  we buy in the usa areade in china

  • I personally find the policy of areade in China to be dehumanizing and harmful to the global economy.

  • and who pays the afro american slaves? germany has to pay every Jewish slave they had and if the worker is not alive anymore ....they have to pay the sister ,brother whoever comes next....

  • I think the real problem is that BMW have been denying the existence of slave labors.

  • @babytonya not anymore (thank god) I´m sick of it i didn´t kill the jew so why should i pay them

  • @babytonya euhm part of being a slave is not getting paid ;)

    otherwise it's called a customer :p

  • @babytonya but then you got to pay the great great grand child of the slave. and the jews from wo2 can still life now

  • nazism is illegal in germany

    is you say "heil" you go directly to jail

    and only real men have beards :)

  • rich people have often used labor at less than fee market prices. In that idea, BMW is keeping with historical precedent.

  • no winners in this issue

  • He's a sloppy douchebag

  • Right,Michael Moore,the savior of all mankind.

  • he speaks the truth, and he speaks for the people who dont have a voice.

  • poor taste? shave?? Taste or a man's appearance is an important matter to you when someone's exploiting unfair things and society problems?

  • Really? That's the best argument you can come up with? Five o'clock shadow???

  • He might gain a few more followers if he did'nt look like a hobo.

  • it doesnt matterhow a person looks if he's right and fights for people. i know it is an issue but it shouldnt be.

  • If Sal Piro came into my house and said "Give me your money." I would gladly do so.

  • so what if the germans didn't pay their slaves? the americans didn't either--AND THEY HAD SLAVES LONGER!

  • You white people have hell to pay.

  • haha hell yeah fuck BMW they can use that money that they are keeping from the former slaves to play for all the damages

  • I never justified what the nazi's did, it was beyond horrible what happened to the jewish people. But you must understand that BMW was trying to get by just like the rest of europe,its easy to say you would have stuck up for the jews,but its a little different when armed soldiers (which you are in direct contact with) have the power to murder your whole family.

  • Commer? Is that a hillbilly thing? I only spotted about 4 mistakes in your last comment,what grade are you in?

  • And you cant construct a sentence.

  • Since, RATMagainstbush, cannot properly construct a proper sentence I will do it for him.

    You, jogga123, are a fucking retard. Your supposed education should have taught you that can't has a commer between the N and the T. This is because it really means 'can not' and a commer should be used because the two words are joined as one.

    Jogga123, suck my circumcised shaft.

  • ur fucking retarded

  • How dare you say such things. Millions of good, decent, hard working ppl, where killed by the Nazis. Don't you have any heart.

  • Fuck the usa god bless canada

  • what an utterly pointless comment...

  • your damn right

  • no this is all for entertainment value. I understand where you're comming from but you must not watch much michael moore material. facts for many people are boring. the comedy aspect helps draw interest and understate emotion for more punch value.

  • i think michael moore is one of them, who will show us the truth about our life. i also believe to all his projects, caus he makes the world help to change our problems.

  • What he forgets to add is that unemployment statistics were slashed due to not including women, jews etc, and making the unemployed men build autobahns with shovels.

  • $6,800 the value of being a BMW slave. sad indeed

  • Brake My Windows ! NICE one

  • Young Korean girls and women in the second WW were taken by the Japanese as work and sex slaves. Many were raped to their deaths. Many who have survived are seeking restitution today. But what's the point in that? How is that going to heal them mentally and emotionally? Money is great for buying things and paying your bills, but you can't take it with you when you die. (This is how my grandmother feels)

  • So when is some white guy going to go to the US gov't on behalf of the blacks and get them their reparations pay that was promised to them? Look the fact of the matter is that BMW did nothing wrong. Slave labor was legal in Germany at the time, so they used it. And you heard the woman, if you did not work they killed you, so BMW gave them jobs, thus saving their lives. (God, with the statements I can come up with, I should be working for the Bush Administration.)

  • yeah because the bush administration is soo good!!! theyve done so much good!!!!!!stupid ass.and actually it was if they didnt produce enough(while working) they were killed. therefor some where killed in the bmw plant. meaning bmw did wrong.

  • Look, first of all I was bashing the Bush administration. Second of all, the Nazi's took control of the major corporations. The privately owned BMW is not responsible for what happened during the Gov't controlled BMW.

  • Blame Hitler, go see if he will pay

  • the german gov pays the money to the jews in the 90s called reparation money, but still that doesnt bring back the dead people...

  • so what do you suggest, they should do?

  • the germans? nothing anymore cause they already show the peopel specially themselves that they have nothing to do anywmore with this nazi scum but americans they really should do something specially for vietnam and japan....

  • Germany will support Israel wherever we can! There are no words to describe the horror, which my people brought to West- and East-Europe...

  • doesnt change the fact BMW owes them money you tard

  • damn ...fucking fat fag!

    you can't judge a company from germany from slavery during WW2!!! common...everybody knows hitler was in control of all and he would not wanted to pay some fucking jews, slaves, by the way...i mean if they are up to be dead why wouldn't we use them in something! Every dictator thinks like that, its logical...anyway there was no proof that showed the jew ha
