When it comes to slavery the truth is as rare as hens teeth, yet the truth is well known. As far as woke BLM supporting lefties are concerned slavery is the fault of the nasty racist British. The end.
However reality is very different. The clip is less than half an hour but for the benefit of virtuous lefties who sneer at uncomfortable truths - for thousands of years African emperors and kings made an absolute fortune selling their own countrymen as slaves and as late as the 1840's many African leaders including the king of Benin in particular, demanded that the British stop their campaign to end the very lucrative slave trade.
The truth about slavery is out there, but you will not hear it from the lips of an ignorant weeping lefty who on bended knee proudly affirms his support for a racist corrupt organisation like BLM.

30 mins is a long time to commit . Perhaps you could summarise the key points. Nothing in your opening post seems particularly new??

The descendants of slaves from Europe are the lucky ones . The male ones that the Arabs bought were castrated. That’s why there aren’t any descendants to moan about it .
When blacks were chattel slaves my ancestors were oppressed wages slaves .

Just another empty rant. |

When blacks were chattel slaves my ancestors were oppressed wages slaves . Indeed. What annoys me, rather a lot actually, is the fact that all the information regarding slavery, is out there. The link I posted is no secret and it's one of many. Yet I still hear clueless lefties talking about Britains involvement in slavery and reparation payments. If they could be bothered get off their knees and stop grovelling to BLM and actually learn about the slave trade they would see the truth is quite different to their ignorant and very blinkered perception. |

Indeed. Some black people do know the truth and others know how toxic the victim mentality is for them and other blacks . |

Britain was involved in the slave trade though, surely. Much of the prosperity of the Empire was built on it.
So what point are you trying to make?

The elite prospered through the slave trade . When blacks were slaves the major British people were slaves in all but name . |

The african slave sellers were not in their view selling their countrymen. As with the Tutsi and Hutu they victorious leaders of one tribal faction were removing members of the other. Arab slave traders facilitated this and paid money too. This saved the victors from needing to wield machetes….

Black people want reparations for slavery for their ancestors, I suggest they start with their 'own people' who sold off their ancestors to the highest bidders, the white people were their customers.

The British did more than any other country to stop the slave trade, yes we were regrettably if very briefly involved in slavery and unfortunately for some people that's where the discussion stops. They insist we must in perpetuity thrash ourselves and beg forgiveness. Any other course of action would be deemed as racist, particularly if you're not begging forgiveness while on bended knee. Ignorance breeds ignorance and when it comes to slavery, there's an awful lot of ignorance out there. Particularly from virtuous white outraged lefties who are often seen waving BLM, EU and Rainbow flags.

Selling off black people by their own black people they never called it slavery they called it 'Trade'.
The fact black people traded in their own black people is something black people are going to have to come to terms with, no sellers = no buyers.
When they get their own house in order, maybe then we can start judging the people who bought them.

The whole black slavery thing is a bunch of horse shit which completely ignores the context of the period.
