Ten million in the Atlantic slave trade stands out for its global scale and lasting legacy. Two hundred million, bought, sold, and tortured under Arab and Persian slave trade...? Nothing. Because that would hinder your ignorant narrative against Western Civilization, wouldn't it?
-
The Christians are to blame for enormous amounts of prejudice and this is just one example among many.
-
Time travel being used to sink 5 slave ships a year for the duration of the trade would have a beneficial effect on Current America

Amendment hostage God excuse direction conventional captain.

You are correct that slaves were unwanted people like criminals, but you make no mention that the slave trade in Africa ONLY existed in ISLAMIC regions. Southern Africa was Islam-free and slave-free until slaves were imported to the region from Islamic Malaysia.
-
African kings and merchants who were Islamic sold unwanted people as slaves. Slavery did not exist in Southern Africa where Islam did not exist. When slaves were brought to Southern Africa, they came from Islamic Malaysia.

The Barbary Slave Trade of millions of Europeans across North Africa done by dark skinned Muslims: What NO textbooks told you
-
This video gives a perfect excuse for blacks to believe they are victims, even in Africa - because of Europeans of course.

....later in American history, long after a civil war fought over dismantling slavery, future President Richard Nixon would create a fake drug war to win his election, by enslaving/imprisoning black men to keep from swinging future elections. Nixon pandered to white southern voters who had enough of the civil rights movement of the 60's and promised to clean up the south. Today blacks make up more than 2/3 of the American prison population, ensuring that slavery continues in modern times. In 2016 President Donald Trump would use this same tactic against American Muslim and Hispanics to continue the racial hatred and keep tensions in America high.

There is one singular specific in the western-organised slave trade: its (often enough violent) abolition.

BLACK PEOPLE NEED REPARATIONS NOW!!!!!
-
Slavery is still legal in the USA. Lincoln freed the plantation slaves only - incarcerated prisoners can still be made to do slave labor.
-
this is exactly what textbooks tell you. even the crap ones on the usa
-
Have you done a video on the Trans-Saharan trade, East Africa slave trade?
-
Most textbooks covering the Atlantic World tell this story in significant detail. This is well known. There's nothing new here.
-
Many of these "white slaves traders" happen to be "European Jews".
-
Instead of saying "yeah slaverly was pretty messed up", there's always gotta be people typing away in the comment section trying to justify it. Defending slavery is like trying to defend the KKK or Nazis. You just come off racist af

Most if not all of the so called African Americans are really Indigenous Americans. During the 1700's they changed the classification of Native Americans to Negro. Also where are these so called ships they used to travel across the ocean? Europeans are so prideful, that you would think they would have one in a museum some where. Those were also long voyages so where did they keep food and how did the slaves survive on the ship with feces and urine, etc? People need to start thinking for a change and stop believing everything.

You forgot a couple of things.Jewish bankers in London England financed a large portion of the slave trade to the West Indies amd America. Many of the ships were owned and operated by these same people and they also controlled a significant share of the sales/auctions in America.Jews have been part of the slave trade since before Roman Times. Check it out. Just saying.........::)))))))) shalom

You are only spreading a lie with this video. It was peoples like the Lancados who started the slave trade. And they were the children of white settlers.
And much of this information is being kept hidden by today's white "civil society" as they do not want to give the descendants of the captives reason to rightfully claim for reparations.
So people who spread this are the worst kind of racist. For they hide their racism and are trying to cover for worse!
