Dude, same here, Holy Crap is this an insightful way to pass on what slavery was like, I love history, wen she was told she could not see her mammy after she died, I too was teary, nor expecting that & I can imagine how intense she must’ve sounded!! I’m gonna look 4 more, maybe start w a man so I’m not balling!!
Now let's have a wedding on the plantation! /s obviously. Thank you for making this available to the uninformed and informed alike. She painted such mental images that really hit home. Thank goodness the historians of the time had the foresight to record the testimony of the slaves before they all passed away 🙏🙏
I don't mean to offend anybody by mentioning this comparison but its something that I never understood. The Jews in Europe suffered genocide at the hands of the Nazi's for 12 years resulting in World War 2. After WW2 when the world caught wind of the inhumane actions took against the Jews during the Holocaust. The world came together and pathed a road towards the existence of Israel. So basically what I'm saying is, for the 12 years of suffering that the Jews endured they received a WHOLE COUNTRY. Africans were sold into slavery to American colonists around 1492 and this lasted until around 1865. So close to 400 years total and 89 of them years were under the Established United States of America. When the world found out about the evil treatment to slaves and the fact that they were not even considered as human beings, the world did nothing. When looking at these two evil historical events side by side, (The Jews killed during the Holocaust which last 12 years & a estimated 6 million Jews murdered) & then ( Africans sold into slavery, losing all human rights which lasted 400 years & a estimated 60 million + Africans Murdered) How can anybody say that the world's reaction & outcomes to the two separate evil travesties is fair or even in the same ballpark as fair! *___(((___The Jews suffered 12 years, lost 6 million people and the outcome was that the world basically gave them a country (Israel)___)))___* - *___(((___Africans were sold into slavery & suffered for 400 years, lost an estimated 60 million + people and the world ignored this and from the USA they received the thirteenth amendment and was released into a society that was mainly prejudice & hated them.___)))___ How is this justice? & How come nobody ever talks about this Modern Day Comparison ? (American Intermediary) I think that maybe waving African American's home property tax for four hundred years would be a good start to reparations ! (Israel wouldn't exist without the west's intervention, TRUE or False ? Who beside Jews benefited from Israel becoming a country?) (African slaves in the USA were not even treated with the decency or even with recognition that they were human beings in the USA for 400 years. When slaves were freed in the USA they were told good luck. GOOD LUCK catching up to the rest of society financially, GOOD LUCK catching up with the rest of society community wise, GOOD LUCK finding employment with the very little education and skills that slave owners allowed to them while held in slavery, GOOD LUCK SURVIVING IN AMERICA.
Remember also the jews have suffered persecutions slavery and genocide for 1000s of years, hitler and the nazis was just the latest manifestation of anti semitism. Unfortunately it will probably rise up again.
The Jew also had a huge role in the transatlantic slave trade. Who do you think financed those ships. Who do you think lent money to plantation owners. As far as reparations ,we don't won't tax vouchers, we don't want land grants, we don't want free college tuition, we want cash payouts like everyone else gets. They didn't give the Afghan refugees, Japanese, the native Americans or the former slave owners any of that other crap.They got cash payout and that's what we want too.And before anyone says America can't afford it ,didn't nobody say anything when they were writing out trillion dollar bills for the pandemic. Plus it doesn't have to be one lump sum. Monthly checks will be fine with us just like the native Americans get .And no .We don't want no casinos🤔💲💯🗽💀
Those are Ashkenazi! From Cazer, the line of Japheth. Mostly Russian in decent. Also the Sephardic who practice Satanic Kabal. What happened to them is so horrible, but they are not the true scattered of Israel. Their people have not been there in the Holy land for no more than a few hundred years and their language has only been used since the 1800's. It's right there in the Bible and was prophesied that they would go into the land of Judah and prosper there. That they would believe they were God's chosen and so would The rest of the world until the truth is revealed. It is also prophesied in the Bible that one day God will publicly acknowledge his scattered flock and return Israel to The true Hebrews. The ones who were banished, scattered, and sold into slavery are the true children of Israel. The Negro. This was punishment for disobeying God. Deuteronomy 28. The Africans who sold them into slavery are not from the chosen line of Judah either. They look similar to the Negro, but are not the same. (Like German and Polish are not the same.) When the Hebrew children were scattered, most of them went into Africa where they prospered and were eventually conquered by Africans and Muslims who sold them to the slave traders. There are accounts of early slaves speaking and writing in Hebrew, and on old European maps you can find that The Ivory coast used to be a part of the Kingdom of Judah. Most early slave churches had Hebrew writing in their books and on their wooden furnishings. These churches were destroyed and only one survived. Slaves were not allowed to learn to read or write in English either because it was important that their identity remain hidden from them! Some still passed oral knowledge down when they could and it is common to hear accounts of slaves encouraging one another in reminding them that they were God's chosen through their Negro Spiritual Songs. American history was changed to hide the identity of these people. The evil of this is that American history only goes so far in what the elite will share with it's subjects regardless of race. They know that there is great power in concealing the truth! But it will be revealed to the world when it's supposed to be revealed.
Found this today... 11.26.2023. This entire country has blood on its hands from those who built this country for what we see today. We have no idea who was here before the native indigenous Indian also called the 1st people. But when the caucasians - France, Spain, Denmark, and England - arrived, they stole this entire country rather than co-exist. They purposely killed a few tribes, and those who weren't killed were placed on "reservations" that still exists today. They enslaved people from another country (Africa) to physically build EVERYTHING including their generational wealth, they tried to enslave people from China, took land that was part of Mexico (California and Texas) only to now keep them out of the states... not just here but every country they stepped foot in. In Africa, apartheid was started by the Germans, also a European country! What pains me is the behaviors continue in different ways. In 2020, 3 men were found hanging very high from trees on the same road during a 1 wekk time period. 1 was written off as "suicide" the other 2 never defined. History and psychological analysis is this was a scare tactic to show what will happen to anyone who runs away and is caught. So black men and women, a.k.a. African American descendants, do not commit suicide by hanging from trees. And the height at which they were found is what makes it very suspicious. This happened not too long after the protest of George Floyd being murdered had begun. Police brutality has not stopped and even children as young as age 10 are being killed by police. It happened in Ohio 2022! The History of this country is only discovered when brave people uncover and expose it. What we are taught in school is "his story" of victory from white colonization. So there are NO lengthy chapters in the history books exposing the beginning of colonization, during colonization and anything related to emancipation laws created after slavery 1865. There is only a few sentences mentioning Jim Crowe laws, 1 - 2 small chapters on maybe 5 black men and 2 black women making achievements. MEANWHILE, achievements were and are being made that we are not taught nor credit given that shows us anything to be proud for that have happened since before slavery. During the 50's into early 60's, 3 intelligent black women put 1 white man on the moon... Why? I never saw the division by color until someone made me feel bad about the color in my skin. Then I started coming across things like this RU-vid story, documentaries showing the devices used during slavery, hearing the testimonials of what was done during slavery and seeing unfair treatment today. It hurts deeply to know people hate you for no reason and sad that they don't even know why they hate you. Where people were shocked to see George Floyd die in real time, black men, woman and children have been experiencing it since slavery. It NEVER stopped. All slavery ever did was morph to where they are authorized with a gun instead of a whip. Where the slave owners beat people and separated families, it continues through putting men and women in jail for lengthy periods on minor offenses. And by shooting and killing unarmed black men, women, and children by law in 50+ states. During slavery slaves were NOT allowed to be educated because of the fear that they would band together, stand up, and revolt because nothing about slavery is positive. They weren't even allowed to have a belt to keep their pants up. Too much happened for over 400 years of slavery. It's only been since 1865 that the law against slavery was enforced. For the last 200+ years, there has been a fight for equal rights, fair treatment and to end the racism, bigotry, violence, and police brutality. 1921 - Tulsa Oklahoma! An entire area of black men, women and children were murdered. It was an area called Black Wallstreet. Look that up. But so long as we kill each other through drugs and guns, not much will be done and there is no motivation to end what is happening. Both the native indigenous and African slave descendants are a constant reminder of a past born from blood and severe suffering. What you see in Ukraine and Israel, forms of that happened in this country since the 1400's by Europeans towards non-European people! So we went from being physical slaves to being mental slaves. When does it stop when we have politicians in power who breathe racism and bigotry and are still creating laws against all people of color?
Marrianne Williamson is right. People need repair retrobutions these people suffered and the decendants need to Ask for this. Beautiful to hear the stories. Voices need to be heard. Xx
The only problem with that is no one knows how because everyone is ignorant of how government works. Everyone is a SLAVE again and color still doesn't matter. I find it ironic that America operates based on the lies we were taught in public schools or publicly approved private schools. The U.S. is NOT America. It's a British and Roman corporation since after the civil war(1870 or 1880).
Yes many ppls born and raised into slavery at the time of these narratives was well into there hundreds when most masters died well before they did. Whites couldve never lasted as long as BLACKS DID. WE ARE THE CREATORS TRUE PPL
tbh they hadn't a clue how old rhey were, no birth certificates, no ID and often relied on what their owners claimed, older for work, decent age for fertility, younger for price etc The life these people had in no ways gave them An extended life, yet most ex slave recordings states they are over 100-120 years. So sad.
The kind of monsters that have no moral issues about kidnapping human beings from a foreign land and forcing them into a life of servitude and back breaking uncompensated labor until they died.😯
@ John 119, I'm not sure why your comment didn't post but I'll retort regardless. I think the jest was black people sold slaves. So what ?🙄 Just because someone is morally corrupt enough to sell human beings doesn't mean it's ok to buy human beings. I thought Europeans were advanced and the Africans were savages.😂 Seems like they were 2 peas in a pod in my opinion.😉💯 People also sell crack. That doesn't mean you should buy it😂.
@John119, I have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about🙄I haven't said a single word about race. If that's what you're focused then that's on you. You said black people sold slaves as a talking point. Not me. What I won't do is justify slavery by anyone under any circumstances at any point in history. People have always sold children for sexual gratification. Does that mean at any point in history that was ok because other people were doing it. No it's wrong now it was always wrong and it will forever be wrong. Also white people didn't end slavery. 🙄 There was a war that individuals with your mindset seems to conveniently neglect to mention. You can't claim to have ended slavery if half the country had to die to do so. That's like saying dropping bombs on Japan ended poverty there. Technically.Japan had less workers and more work to do after the bombs dropped which meant less poverty..Do you think America deserves credit for that as well ?🙄 As in said children used for sex were also considered spoils of war . Now are you really advocating for sexual access to children? That's not a good look.😉💯
@John119, I never implied anything about white people. The original comment was about the treatment of an American slave. That's the only reason American slavery came into question. If I had something ill to speak on about white people I'd just say it and I wouldn't waste time implying anything. As far as the British ending slavery that's BS. Colonisation is just slavery by another name and most of Africa is still colonized today. That's why when the Queen died their currency was changed. I brought up Japan for a example of how someone can go to ridiculous extents in an attempt to prove a moot point. Yes there was less poverty and more job openings in Japan after the bombs dropped, because the workers were killed and dead people can't be actively in poverty, but saying being bombed was beneficial to them is ridiculous. Plus bombing civilians because of what their military did is extremely cowardly. On a side note did you really attempt to justify indiscriminately murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent people because of what a repressive regime inflected on its own population. I'm sure any honest and genuine person would agree that stabbing pregnant women doesn't reach the atrocities level of an atomic bomb being dropped on 2 entire cities.🙄 At least when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor they didn't target civilians.😌 As far as my comments on child sexual assault. War and slavery are always associated with child exploitation. There's never been a war or instance of enslavement that wasn't connected with sexual access to children being a factor If not a primary driving force. Therefore slavery and war promotes sexual access to children. If not can you tell me of and instance of enslavement or war that didn't involve child exploitation ?🙄💯On a side note I've always wondered why some white people have a strange guilty perspective on slavery, so they feel the need to somehow justify white slave owners actions. As you see I have absolutely no problem with calling Africans out who sold slaves. I'm glad their dead and I hope they're burning in hell. I don't justify atrocities from anyone.😌💯 Can you say the same about the white people who bought slaves....?
@John119, Ok you've started trolling so I'm going to assume you're tapping out.😌These conversations always ends up with trolling, lies, and or pointless insults. That's the strategy of the unprepared. With that being said. Do you actually have anything of substance as a retort or are you done?🙄
IT ESCAPES ME HOW THE DICKENS PEOPLE COULD BE SO EVIL COLD NASTY AND EXPECT THE LORDS FAVOR ONCE THEY CROSS OVER!!!!! POOR SOULS THE LORD WILL TAKE CARE OF THESE POOR SLAVES
Thank goodness for Christ. Because he gave his life we were able to forgive. Bless the souls who suffered through this inhumane act of humans. Who till this day still act cruel to people of color. Even the klu klux claim they believe in the same God. America will pay for the blood they have shed and spilled. I pray for us all.
Our family members never wanted us to know about these experiences. Those that got away from the slavery days left it behind as far from telling their children. My grandfather was born in 1881 so his grandmother was a slave. That’s only 4 generations ago. Most black families will now or never hear about their family members that were slaves. And I grew up with people who had relatives that were slaves. White people speak about slavery as though it 400 years ago. No. Slavery ended in 1865. But tthe racist enslavement in white peoples mind has never ended. As you can see today on the news; Facebook; Instagram and TikTok. The racists are bright eyed and bushy tailed every day. Telling people of color they are less than white people. w
@@tripleooo9639 Your fucking crazy, slavery is still going on in Africa India and the Middle East none of which are white countries, the whites in America didn't invent slavery and they weren't the only people participating in the slave trade they were however the first to recognize slavery as cruel and inhumane and abolish it. Only white people...
So sad that people somehow associate the bible with inherent goodness. It's also a great indication that they haven't actually read the contents therein.
I did wonder if the woman was told to give a glossed over version.. I just got that feeling..But I do hope that there were some kinder slave owners ..even if they owned them
