  • i have seen this three times in my history class and it is just so sad, the poor people!!

  • i watched this in history today.... so sad

  • I thought i saw Herman Cain on the Tecora slave ship!!!

  • it's so funny how this movie portrays americans as good people when in reality the spanish and the new spain accepted blacks!! when have you heard of in latin america or spain blacks rioting or revolting against the government?? get real!! people in america make movies to portray americans as heroes and forget about their true history

  • @FULIAN at least we learned how we actually treated them in history, but Europeans also played a major role in the slave trade so you can't say that they are completely innocent in all of this. Not to be contradictory or offensive.

  • But this happened

  • WOW!! This is shockingly terrifying. I mean seeing a bunch of human beings taken against their will as"imported goods", and shipped off to some other place....it just made me lost my train of thought. The whipping scene really did it. I watched this in AP History, and I literally cried my eyes out.

  • You know, I am an African living in the US. One of my dearest friend likes to tease my heritage by calling me a hungry, starving African/ And, I, in retaliation, say that his ancestors got in this country by taking a first class ticket onto the Air Amistad. I apologize and wish for God to forgive me for mocking my fellow brethren's suffering.

  • This is sad, I regret anything racist I've had said for hanging out with the wrong friends. This made me angry on how anyone can do that to another human being. It's disgusting, cruel, and it breaks my heart. God bless everyone that died at that time. I feel terrible atm.

  • sooooo sad and heart breaking ):

  • VVVVV All of you suck VVVVV

  • I wish i could have been a part of this production...lol

  • Thats what I cal the good old days, black peoples lives should still be expendable to this day

  • gosshhh my hole class cried for this movieee..

  • @Sadena123 one or more of ur ancestors were slaves bitch! Stop complaining and enjoy freedom, get over the past which, by the way, u werent even alive 200 years ago. Dumb monkey.

  • @badboymartinez1 dumb monkey? good one. im not enjoying freedom unless I get to hurt 10 or more of you along the way. thats just the way it is. makes me feel much better about this slavery thing :)

  • @Sadena123 no they are spanish. Have u heard of the triangular trade? Spain gave guns and cloth to africans for slaves, spain gave slaves to the british in the Americas (the Americas were ran by great britian and great britian wanted to build a new land, so they wanted slaves), britian gave tobacco and rice to spain. The American people back in those days had absolutly nothing to do with africans being inslaved.

  • @CoontaKinte1488 God will judge u, and it won't be plesant, you racist arrogant pissworm!

  • I htee wen ppl saii this is the passt im juss gnna focus on the present and the futuree well i got neww forr yhuu thiss will never b the pastt no matter how many timess you think you can escape thiss you cantt itss not the passt when you arent serviced bc ur blckk or u get called a nigger or nigga at skool bc ur blckk dnt mattr which way yhu way it itss still hurtfull but then again im BLACK and proudd of itt thatss y we learn the pastt to more fully understnd the presentt

  • Hatred is so wrong, but for one person I saw on here, why is it a black & white issue still today? In the movie the prisoners or slaves were captured by Black men & the few that came to defend them were white. Face it, it's not about black or white & stop saying all white people are this way. IT'S NOT BLACK OR WHITE, IT'S IGNORANCE, GREED, HATRED & STUPIDITY THAT HAS CAUSED SUCH SHIT AS THIS THEN & NOW. I was raised to love everybody. I'm Jessica's mom, Mia

  • this is why i have a hard time looking at white people on a daily basis. This shit is in their blood...

  • @Sadena123 not mine

  • @Sadena123 Saying stuff like that is wrong. Thousands of white men didn't die in the Civil war so you could live on making matters worse.

  • @DD8081 The civil war was a fight against the north and the south, not a fight to end slavery. The people in the civil war were not fighting for black freedom. black freedom was just an element to weaken the south to make the north stronger because the north did not need black due to industrialization. north didnt like black people as much as the south, they just needed to get something that they wanted. Dont defend white people. They are just as sick and twisted as they were back in the day.

  • @Sadena123 The original reason the South ceceeded was because they didn't like their states' rights and government limited. The fact that they didn't have a strong central government was the biggest reason they lost the war. The differences between blacks and whites will never be equal because of fucks like you.

  • @DD8081 or you. Don't believe that blacks and whites will ever get along. Because we wont. Too different to be one. No point of hiding what is real.

  • @Sadena123 We could get along, people just don't let it happen. Blacks make a big deal out of everything if something bad happens to them, and some whites can be just ignorant. Are you white or black?

  • Comment removed

  • @DD8081 Black. On average i see 6 black people a day (including parents and sibling). Surrounded by a never ending sea of the white race. NO ESCAPING

  • @Sadena123 Lol. You disgrace the black race. Move then, if it helps. Otherwise, quit griping and enjoy your freedom, you're lucky to have it.

  • @DD8081 You act like I am the first black person to think this way. Trust me, i am not. I'm just one of the few who is willing to say, that they will never feel completely comfortable around white people. There is no changing that. 

  • @Sadena123 I know you aren't, which is why I have come to the conclusion that black people can't get over the past. If I said I wasn't comfortable being around black people, I'd get arrested. You people have the advantage these days, be happy it's still not the other way around.

  • @Sadena123 why not? I'm Jewish and i have German friends.

  • @jl287771 ur family must be proud. expecially ur fucking grand parents.

  • @Sadena123 My grandparents, who lived through the concentration camps, are proud of me. 

  • @jl287771 so ur fucking the people who made their lives hell?? good job bro

  • @Sadena123 Think about it on a personal level. Would it make sense to hold a grudge against some kid because of something their father did? It makes no sense

  • @jl287771 cause your a dumbass

  • @KiaraRosie10 your full of hate, and your probably a dumbass

  • It's sad how black ppl were treated. It's just plain wrong.

  • black vagina at 6:42 lol

  • @vondembach20 Grow up kid.

  • I am now a Misanthropist....

  • Oh MY GOSH ! NOTRE PROF AUSSI MAIS ILS SONT FOU !

    

  • RIP the millions that didn't make it and those that did - 8'(

  • Slavery is one of many evils Europe and her children afflicted on Black ppl

  • Okay..this MOVIE & this VIDEO CLIP was NOT intended for ANYONE to make mean,rude,hurtful,and down right IGNORANT comments.This ought to be a learning experience for everyone.This shows what ACTUALLY happened and all the suffering slaves had to face.For the ones being racist, don't say things that you wouldn't want anyone to say to you..so stop being so cruel.Oh & Btw, COLOR does not define anything.Don't let the hard hearts of the past effect your future thoughts.God is Love. That is all.(:

  • Ok... this movie and this video was NOT intended for people to make horrible comments. It was intended for people to see the truth and how things actually went on... instead of the half truth they put in history books. This should be an eye opener,not a discussion of racist close minded people. Learn from this. <3 God is love. That is all!! (:

  • @CoontaKinte1488 You massive spaz

  • I remember seeing this movie when I was 14. This whole section really shook me up, especially when they purposely drowned those slaves in the one scene. That really disturbed me. These were human beings, pleading for their lives & they just threw them overboard. I can't imagine what kind of horror those people must have felt as they saw the fate that awaited them. Even after all these years, that has stuck w/ me.

  • @CoontaKinte1488 I laughred so hard when i read your screen name 1488??? LMAO WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!

    

  • Awww, that poor little baby!D: Slavery is SO wrong and SO sad

  • @CoontaKinte1488 what the fuck is your problem

  • @Keep0nRunn1ng The "problem" is the NIGGERS !!!

  • I know it's all about freedom of speech, but why doesn't whoever posted this disable the comments.

  • Funny how videos like these bring out all of the YouTube racists. Hit a bit too close to home didn't it?

  • I honestly dont care about it any more because unlike most people i focus on the now. The past is the past we need to focus on now and later

  • MIKEY ??

  • como pode um ser humano fazer isso com outro.Na realidade isso nao eh humano.

  • shit watching this actually really upsets me because if this didn't happen I would not be here now.

  • @BelizeHunni Well, you're always free to go back to ASSFRICA so who or what the hell is stopping you... GO GO GO............................­.AWAY

  • @yourwhitemaster loooooool hell no my ancestors MADE this country while yours sat in their houses drinking tea and raping the women. I am staying in this country that was made by my ancestors loooooooool don't make me laugh and wow, what a cuss assfrica getting me all mad and shit -__________-

  • @BelizeHunni Just think about this, YOUR ANCESTORS threw the net over Kunta's head and sold him to the White man in the FIRST PLACE !! Stupid-ASS NIGGER Morons !! HA HA HA

  • Slavery,FGM and child sacrifice are going on in africa today.

  • what in fucking God's name made them think they had a right to do this....these people were onnocent and they were treated like shit!

  • Damn! And i thought Schindler's list was disturbing

  • Hey MIKEY, where the hell ya been ??

  • What the fucks wrong with my species...

  • :/

  • 6.12 pmsl

  • 6:10 thats just wrong. I had to watch epic rap battle of history after this to get my spirit up again.

  • This must have been a particularly bad slave ship. Even in those days this would have been considered wrong, if only for economic reasons. I'm not a historian but I imagine slaves were only any good to the transporters if they arrived alive to be sold. Dumping slaves in the sea shows poor planning, they were running low on food so got rid of the least valuable slaves. The greed to make money made the slavers put more on their ship than they had room for.

  • @marko4ram That was meant for your first comment, not your second.

  • @marko4ram Your argument is only enforcing the inequitable dichotomy of whites and blacks. You're insinuating that all black people should be identified with each other as family with all whites as their adversary. The point you SHOULD be making is that it's wrong for one human being to capture and enslave another, regardless of race.

  • Hey people. Those are spanish ppl taking them...not Americans. And also, blacks got other blacks and sold them into slavery to the whites. America didnt go get them

  • @badboymartinez1 You're right. European countries, even Britain I'm sorry to say, went and got them. Their fellow Africans enslaved them, the Europeans transported them, and the Colonials in north AND south America bought them. All of our distant ancestors are to blame for this. Nobody alive today should feel either guilty or bitter. Some use the past as an excuse for racism. Glad somebody is posting sensible things Mr Martinez. Normally these threads end up in a massive racist argument.

  • @badboymartinez1 not sure you realized this but people from spain are pretty much white...

  • I can't watch this

  • Diis aiin't rightt.All those people.. They should'nt have been treadted the way they were. But if it shaped America, I donn wanna be here anymore.

  • Watching this kind of stuff gets me depressed but I have no choice, its my homework!! Xo

  • @krmc4960 We had to watch this in class and everyone felt so depressed afterwards.

  • @alextlbass Yeah us too.. We had to finish the ending as hw though.

  • @alextlbass You were depressed because you saw all the future WELFARE ancestors coming over.  Play the movie BACKWARDS and it will cheer you up...gua

    ranteed...HA HA HA

  • It is so cruel when they are attached to the rocks and get killed

  • The genocide continues. This time it's black men killing each other and going to prison, and breeding out side community; forcing many women to breed outside community. Wake up young AA men. Minimize breeding outside community and stop the cycle. If not, we will be slowly phased out and 100 + years from now we will have to rely on Caribbean and African migrants in America and Europe for identity...

  • No Slaves = No United States.

    They raised white people who grew up to be ministers, presidents, poets, inventors...etc. They worked the farms and factories which fed this nation. That is the main reason why the blacks were prosecuted, to keep them doing the hard labor. This why they were brought in the first place after all.

    And now the whites engage in a different kind of slavery, keep their areas dirty, their schools below average, just to keep them doing the "slaves" jobs!

  • tecora is a portuguese ship,not spanish. but in the movie they speak spanish....

  • @pedrozs1 Always the way! I knew a guy who learned Spanish for ages for his holiday to Brazil.

  • PUUUUtain ken la prof d'histoire nous a montré ça g pleuré gt pas pas la seule

  • Wow. There are no words to describe how.... disgusting that was. To do that to fellow human beings just for the colour of their skin. I have never really meant it before when I have said this but I hope the people who did this go to hell. It's not right - they did this to them because, apparently, white people are superior. Things like this piss me off - thousands died because white people thought that it was right.

  • @mbrisendine123 Although i completly agree that this was wrong, this had very little to do with skin color. The slaves being sold to the Spanish, Dutch and Americans were being sold by other Africans who had captured them in exchange for precious metals and weapons. They were purchased in large amounts because it was relativly cheap. It didn't become a racial thing until the Americans realized that their slaves just happened to be black making that association. Again, i agree this is wrong

  • I had an RE lesson earlier today and half of this clip was shown (up to the part where they throw the dead bodies into the sea) and my teacher said that it got worse from that point so she wasn't going to show us. By this time I was already quite shocked at what happened- especially when I was told those things really did happen to the poor black people. They didn't deserve that... any of it.

  • @meglovesJessieJ Same with us, except it was in History and our teacher showed us the rest. Lots of whipping...

  • @MyFaceBurns 4:45 was pretty disturbing, I think my teacher didn't want us seeing that bit in particular.

  • Ah, the good old days.

  • Notre prof nous à montré cette séquence franchement c'est choquant !!

  • @YeahGiirll

    Nous aussi, c'est la première fois que notre classe était si attentif à un cours de musique !

    Sinon, tu sais c'est quoi la musique ?

  • @nono95470 Ahh nan dsl

  • @nono95470 Mais c la séquence du film qui s'appel AMISTAD c un film sur les esclaves

  • I love 4:38

  • Everyone who tortured the Africans was a fucking faggot who is rotting in hell right now.

  • They showed us this in history class

  • @joyfuljojo233 Me Too but he has to skip some parts due to school policies so i wanted to see it all!

  • Comment removed

  • I was totally disturbed when i watched this at school :O

  • @KayaElliott Same. :/

  • MIKEY, MIKEY, MIKEY ???

  • How they will pay for these horrific actions against my ppl.....over 400 years of terror blood shed mutilation butchery lies upon top of lies .....do you really think u will escape judgement from this ??? Could u be that sick to think these disgusting crimes against the first ppl on this planet will go unpunished ?? Lol u are sadly mistaken devil !!

  • White People: .... If they're not tossing africans over board, They're commiting genocide on native americans... Maybe The world would have been a better place without the white race .

  • @S0ldier0fJah you cannot blame a whole race for the crimes of some, many whites like john quincy adams, and john brown who gave his life to end slavery, fought against slavery, not all whites wanted to kick natives off their land

  • @S0ldier0fJah white people are cool :P

  • @S0ldier0fJah Dont forget killing millions of Jews.

  • WTF ! This is an outrage !

    There are naked people in this clip !

    REPORT

  • What chills me is the captives (I use that term because they were at the very least spared the horror and indignity of a life of slavery) being forcibly dragged over the side of the ship with absolutely no regard to their screams as human beings, disappearing into the depths which within long seconds the pressure of which would have crushed the life out of them.

  • That music box playing that cheery little melody while the captives are being made to toss corpses overboard just chills me to the bone

  • MIKEY MIKEY, Wherefore art thou, MIKEY ??

  • i need this info to be continued, i'm writing a report and i need a lil more info about it

  • 0:29-0:31 nice ow xD

  • Comment removed

  • Many other races have slaves. Africans gave each other up as slaves. When you say white people hate blacks your basically saying Canadians, Americans, Australians, British, Irish, Scottish, German, Etc.

  • @KaIanari by 1691 law was passed in the english colonies that said if you were black you were a slave, it became racial. being black meant you were a slave and being a slave meant you were not equal to those who were white, which means whites saw blacks as less than them. why don't you research and learn your own history a little more?

  • @KaIanari also the other races who had slaves also gave them rights and were treat better, and had the ability to attain their freedom. slavery in the americas did not give them any of those.

  • @KaIanari they got rid of slavery LONG before americans did

  • Ill beleave in god when I see him,.but for right now im just workin hard to be rich, smart, n powerfull..maybe ill get my own white slave one day lol...but to wait on god to come save me "sights"...aint that how they god us in the first place "a bible"

  • @jayton580 I dont know about the white man being the devil brother, but if thats the case the devil has been doin a pretty good job staiyin on top, n if god is so powerfull n we r his chilldren , well I guess he dont give a fuck about us...my point is brother , aint about black or white , is about who is the richest , the smartest and the most powerfull...

  • look at the devils on here jesus got whip jus like the african slaves did hint jesus is black

  • We read this story for my Junior English class. Really interesting. Yet depressing.

  • " Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade. In fact, in all the American colonies, whether French (Martinique), British, or Dutch, Jewish merchants frequently DOMINATED. Isaac Da Costa (Jewish) of Charleston in the 1750s, David Franks (Jewish) of Philadelphia in the 1760s & Aaron Lopez (Jewish) of Newport in the late 1760s & early 1770s dominated slave trading on the American continent "

    -– See "Jews and Judaism in the United States: A Documentary History (1983) "

  • What the fuck is wrong with you people? Posting stupid shit like " fuck niggers" like what the hell made you so angry and ignorant enough to do that? Keep those pathetic racist comments to yourself and get a life.

  • The only SAD thing is that you didn't bother to round them all up and ship them back to ASSFRICA after the Civil War when you dummys HAD THE CHANCE !!

  • STUPID NIGGERS

  • haha stupid niggers

  • @Coltsfan btw stupid niggers is REDUNDANT as hell

  • Is that MIKEY guy still out there ??

  • Thank God for terrorism today God bless 9/11

  • horrible movie! 

  • @lovemelongtimeAA It's not horrible, it's just sad.

  • It doesnt matter if you selling an enemy ; at the end of the day you sold your own kind to the whites

  • @marko4ram africans are the real ppl of god look at whites decietful mothafuckas thanks to the white devil africans are everywhur appreciate it white devils its called the take over it mite not happen now but i give it another 100 yrs and yall guna be the minority

  • @dc3fan2003 Africans tribes didn't sell their own people, as we've been led to believe. Actually, tribes were capturing members of enemy tribes and selling them into slavery. There were (and still are) many internal conflicts in the continent. This notion that Africans were betraying their own families and neighbors is false.

  • See who threw the net over Kuntas head ?? The moral of the story is Never turn your back on a NIGGER, especially if you are a NIGGER yourself !!

  • Is that MIKEY guy still around ?

  • what most ppl dont realize is that slavery actually started from within. they would sell off their own ppl to the english and spanish in turn for goods. now this wasnt always the case, but it did happen. so essentially slavery was a product of its own ppl

  • @dc3fan2003 there was no slavery like chattel, slavery brought to north America.. there has been slavery worldwide.. the worst ever to happen was in N America, when slaves at other times, had rights and were not property. sure Africans had sellouts... they were not on the other hand responsible for setting up colonies for slaves and writing into law slavery for America.. in the end.. the construction of what happened in America was not to save Africans from those bad Africans, it was to use them

  • Not to mention that it also lightened a ship that was getting too heavy, got rid of sick slaves, and diminished the number of mouths to feed when food was running low.

  • @GUSRULZ445, The point of tossing the captives overboard is to preempt rebellion. Because the whites were outnumbered, it was more prudent for them to throw the insubordinate into the ocean rather than risk their subjugation over the slaves. Seeing as slaves were extremely lucrative and expensive, overall the sacrifices were inconsequential.

  • Quick question: Who are rge REAL racists ?? Why isn't there a National Association for the Advancement of White People ?  Why no WHITE history month ? Why no WHITE congressional caucus ? Why the hell no United WHITE College Fund...for WHITE minds ONLY ? Affirmative Action is BULLSHIT !! If the blacks can't read enough to pass a test, they shouldn't be given preferrence !! Why don't WHITE people RIOT and destroy their own cities ? Screw U

  • I dont understand the point of doing what they did at 6:09. Isn't the point of capturing slaves so they can sell them? not through them overboard...

  • @GUSRULZ445 Are you kidding me ? IT"S THE BEST PART of the movie. The ONLY thing that would be better was if you could play the movie BACKWARDS and then they would all end up back in ASSFRICA !!!

  • @yourwhitemaster your comments are appalling. I cant believe ANY human being can have such disregard for OTHER HUMAN LIFE, because of something so trivial as the color of their skin!

  • @wazzzup235 NIGGER lover......................

  • @yourwhitemaster WHY dont YOU stop CAPITOLIZING almost EVERY fucking WORD in YOUR comment AND maybe PEOPLE will TAKE you JUST a LITTLE bit SERIOUSLY...

    No, not really... Idiots cant be taken seriously.

  • The mistake your country made was not SPAYING and NEUTERING the filthy animals during the Civil WAr !!! Then you wouldn't have the problem TODAY !!!

    Welfare collecting, Rioting, ignorant bastards !!

  • @concernedaboutracisi so, are you a NIGGER or a white traitor who betrayed your race? Kingsly spoke his mind. None of your "politcally correct" nonsense. Kingsley's place of employment is personal and therefore NONE OF YOUR BLACK NIGGER BUSINESS.

  • we saw this in school all my white were soo quiet !!

  • DAMN WHEN ARE WHITE PEOPLE GONNA DIE

  • @thevillain091 Damn that's a little harsh don't you think. Your statement is not solving anything.

  • @Failcard and? gotta problem? speaking my mind here. smh.

  • i crie when i watched this.

  • @MrKingsleyennis1 what the fuck are you a freaking racist asshole or what cause your fuckin commets are bullshit.

  • @MrKingsleyennis1 yo what the fuck is cool about being chained up and thrown over board. think before you post.

  • that nigga said bam boo le ! ooouuuuch!

  • the most cruel slave traders werent the british or the dutch. the PORTUGUESE, the portuguese my friends!
