Biggest lie is africa the motherland everything Africa has came from the Americas or was Modeled after America, Africa stole our Gold , Cacao , Camels , Pyramid technology but somehow America has most ARTiFACTS but AFRICA is the Mother.....
Id say the original comment is right. Every commercial I've seen on tv growing up, and all the info in history class I learned said that Africa was poor, and not modern like the rest of the world. But they never say that Africa created the outline of how to be a modern human being, africans have been exploring the earth since waaay back before we considered ourselves modern humans. and somehow they consider africans nomads and shit. It's just crazy. 🤦🏿♂️ The Earth is home.. how does that not make sense.
While I can resonate with some part of your script, I feel you were disingenuous talking about Africans not being a part of the slave trade. Every African empire was built on the backs of slaves, and in our interactions with the foreigners, we traded them off for the items they produced. At the feverish peak of the global slave trade, Africans were kidnapping one another and selling them off to slavery. That was the story of Queen Nzinga of Matamba and Ndongo, Joseph Cinque, and many more. You need not infuse lies in your story to make Africa look even more victimized. It's already apparent what the colonialists did.
I don't think he was trying to claim slavery was not a part of pre-colonial african society, just that it was not the same kind of extreme racialized slavery of the atlantic slave trade, and that trying to conflate the two by simply saying "well black people enslaved other black people too" is fairly disingenuous. Of course all empires did and do employ slavery of some kind or another.
@@elowin1691 0:06 literally says that this idea is a lie right here.... ironically, some african kingdoms, like the congo, were very rich off the slave trade, and if they had done anything but trade slaves, and made other economic investments with that money, they could have been a very powerful and long lasting kingdom. they were so wealthy from slavery, and intelligent (as much as you can be about trading human lives) about it too, they would hold back slaves until the harvest season, until europeans were really willing to pay up for them, then release them for the increased prices all at once. with all that wealth, they could have done anything, or atleast tried. and much like how oil states today only do oil, all they did was trade slaves, until europeans stopped buying.
"...the disingenuous idea that 'black people' sold 'black people' into slavery. I frequently speak about this oversimplification as we cannot apply 21st century pan-African concepts to 17th or 18th century peoples. The overwhelming majority of African people back then identified in full with their own culture and linguistic group, and not by skin color or phenotype. So what's been implied by that statement is A-historical at best." You're coming at the human historical phenomenon of slavery with a 21st century, European-influenced perspective. It's one thing to say that slavery existed in wealthy, often capitalistic empires in some pre-colonial African countries. It's one entirely different thing to say that "black people enslaved black people". This concept of "black" was completely foreign to people living on the African continent before people invading several parts of the continent sought to psychologically, socio-culturally, and religiously dismantle the idea of a person living on the African continent, reducing them to subhuman and of a cerain color: black. There was no global, traumatized collective of "black people" who strived to pick up the pieces of the overwhelming thousands-if not millions-of African cultural norms, religions, and languages back then. That is now. And your perspective is now. Take some time to listen to his words before you bring out your thoughts and dilute the truth. The only "victim" of this narrative is the person who insists that history should be simplified because our ancestors "did bad things too". The African continent is too big and diverse for that.

This is so spot on. All our textbooks focused on Egypt as the one and only civilization in Africa. So much so that a lot of us grew up thinking Egypt and Africa were two different countries/continents
@@jonny_apocalypseii1051 actually, white scholars do tell the lie that Egypt is not a part of Africa. They do teach this lie in public schools, as I am a teacher certified to teach social sciences.

a grate video bro, as a Sudanese African you made me more proud of my ancestors, also I wanted to remind you of one of the earliest civilizations and written African languages, the Ethiopian Gi'iz language from which the Amharic and the Tigrai languages descended
The thing that upsets me the most is that accomplishments that we paramount in society are continually dampened because today's accomplishments dwarf anything that may shed light to the many atrocities that gave way to today's society.

As far as I know, my ancestors were entirely non African, but the great diversity and beauty of African people has always fascinated me. Thank you for these enlightening videos.

@@larrylake870 yes because the right wing sociopaths would be happy in informing the world that Africans are not an inferior race and that the history of the west is built on the blood and pain of those with melanated skin.

The desire to find acceptance of other worldly cultures has caused us to be naïve to our own creation. The refusing of oneself has proved to encapsulate our being and until we break free in realization, we are doomed to accept any lie that has been proposed about our identity. I really appreciate this obviously logical and truthful information. It is almost impossible to find in a sea of cultural degradation.

He would not have had any freedom to teach outside the horrible history book. Lessons about Afrikan history is very well controlled even in college. I had to learn the truth on my own.
I've had meetings with my high school History Teachers and Social Studies teacher why are we only learning about Martin Luther King whom I named my son after. Why do we learn of the KKK in school and not the Black Panthers a white teacher said the Black Panthers were short lived!! I grew up in a pretty racist place where in school I was a part of black population that was less than 1 percent. I would be be called a ninja any day then they would try talk to me cuz I use to be extremely light skin you could see the veins in the side of my head. I was almost raped one night he offered rides then one day the guy jumped out to attempt me to force me in the car then my mom came with my big Dog Apollo. It was night time I was taking a driver's class. There was always something going on. My drawn out point is they told us our African History is too extensive they didn't have time to learn all of our history. So they taught about mostly peaceful black people except Malcolm one of my son's name sake's. It was hard growing up in Lansdowne in Baltimore County in Maryland where they were still burning crosses when I was in school.

one lie is that hieroglyphics are letters to some sort of alfibet when there are a image that represents an idea or concept and one more lie is that taking stuff thats not yours and putting it in musums is not stealing
If it wasn't for that though, no one would know that the ten commandments were stolen from Egypt's religion therefore debunking the Abrahamic religions.
@@rickeybernard8156 Yeah but why did some other race of people have to steal from egypt we could have found this out by our selves while being respctful to the king and qeens in the tombs and being careful with every thing we tuched and there were a ton of other paces we could have learn this from like naboring contrys and lots of scolrs form all over came to egypt.

SO U ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT HE LIED RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING TRYING TO DOWN PLAY AND LIE ABOUT AFRICANS ENSLAVING AND SELLING OTHER AFRICANS INTO SLAVERY🤡💩💯
I am of Akan heritage, Ivory Coast - this definitely happened, the Akan went from buyers of slaves to selling slaves as the dynamics in the Gold Coast and the New World changed. Thus, the Akan people played a role in supplying Europeans with indentured servants, who were later enslaved for the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
yeah how else did mali spread so much gold as they traveled to egypt the king dumped so much money into each kingdom on way and they all had economy inflated cause he gave so much wealth away from his slave empire
At the time our ancestors didn't identify with the wider Akan linguistic group, rather with tribes, my ancestors are also Akan and were sold by other Akan (Ashanti and Fante), while Akan culture survives in some ways in our New World culture today, because we came from all over West Africa it's a mixture of various of Western and South Western African cultures.
" indentured servants".... not likely they were captured by almost always black people, enslaved and then sold to whoever had the money or goods or kept as a sign of power.
@@tonyhall3845 how do you get reparations from an entire continent? the Akan are not the whole of Africa. Should Jewish people get reparations from Ireland since the Germans committed genocide?

Having grown up in Africa, I can testify that my (previously held) racial inferiority thoughts were rooted from other black people around me telling me whites are more superior. We were raised by our black parents who themselves never experienced slavery or such, that whites were more important, thence we had to watch our conduct towards them. And how we address them was to be different and submissive towards white people. And like you said, its an idea that has gradually dissipated, but its residual effects still linger. For instance here in Zimbabwe, the Shona slang word to refer to your Boss is MURUNGU, which directly translates to WHITE PERSON, and we even use MURUNGU on the blackest of Bosses lol...I have to say, I have no internalized or outwardly expressed hate or malice towards white people, I love them just as much as I love my fellow black brothers cause to me, race doesn't matter, you just have to be a good person. Anyways, love the videos man, very insightful and educative. You even taught me something I didn't know about the Great Zimbabwe ruins. Thanks a lot.
If "murungu" is related to the Swahili "muzungu" (which has the same meaning) then in its origin it comes from "dead person" (as dead people are more pale than living people).
I lived in different parts of Africa and I'm sad to say this is true, the North people have been mythologised and to this day are treated with deference when fellow citizens are treated disrespectfully. Of course sometimes this is a matter of relative wealth or power dynamic and sometimes it is diplomatic, but it's very damaging.
Murungu is not muzungu .word muzungu was first mentioned when vasco dagama returned to malindi from India , he was ask 'where have u been'? , vasco dagama has learned kiswahili before going to India , he answered, 'nilieda muzunguko' so they called him muzungu ,someone who go round the world and come back relating all white as muzungu because they would go and come back .Murungu, mean owner of rungu ,rungu is type of crown club.

Anitchey Hometeam ❤ I'm very thankful that you are working on this topic today! In West Africa, we have diversed type of writting some disappear with slavery that leads to the disappearing of our " lonitigui" people who were the guardians and teachers of these scriptures, we still have ADINKRA, N'KO & N'SINBIDI that are more ancient, sophisticated and more complex than the 26 letters of the Europeans's Alphabet. We also have MEROAN , ALMARIC & HIEROGLYPHICS North -East of AFRICA, let's not forget the CONGO with the OSHONGO's Mathematical languages and systems with binary numbers that lead to the informatics language system in our modern day.
WOW! Thanks Sister for dropping such knowledge and wisdom on the forum. Our people are so amazing ❤️! Mystery Babylon Must Fall! Glorify the Most High Continually!
Precisely. This video could well be full of lies, brainwasher's lies to make black people hate all other races and embrace materialistic greed, nothing to promote family values or human values.
I am not cursed! I am BLESSED! I don’t subscribe to any religion, especially the Abrahamic ones. I follow my ancestors and try everyday to learn about them. This channel helps with that! Peace
Well said. I just hope more of us wake up to see this and stop believing that they are lost and need to follow a pale face person in order to be accepted as a human, which they still not at the end of the day. We people ask me am I a follower/believe I say no and they ask why. I reply there's nothing wrong with my skin tone, i'm not a sheep, and don't follow I lead. Give thanks.
It was propaganda religious stores they told. Even the Queen of England in 2020 announced the Jesus was NEVER White. The Bible if FULL of African more than any nation.
Thank you my brother for that information that was very strong something I never know I can appreciate a brother like yourself giving us real information that a lot of us blacks don't even know about may Allah bless you my brother
The opening of this video is very odd. You seem to be forgiving or provide an out for the African tribes that captured and sold slaves just because they were a different culture of African tribe. That way of looking at things would also completely forgive/provide an out for the Europeans that bought those slaves. The trouble with trying to separate the tribes into different cultures back then is that the modern western world does not do that. With many movements broadly stating "black lives" or "people of color", which groups all black people together regardless of their origin, and this allows anyone to do the same, including when they we talk about the past when some groups enslaved others and sold those slaves to Europeans. There are some great and fascinating African civilizations without a doubt, however most of the well known ones can't be separated from slavery, like pretty much all civilizations from the past.
@@sullafelix649 African countries and tribes enslaved eachother. And unlike the "black people sold their own kind" is trying to suggest, they did not view these cultures as their own, they viewed them as "other", and being born into a world where being the strongest and most dominant meant the best chances of survival, they enslaved echother. Americans treated black slaves worse than their livestock, as they were seen as vile, not human, or not worthy to be considered human because of their skin colour. There was a hatred and anger towards them, hence the atrocious and torturous acts of cruelty, and hence the enjoyment many slave owners took from inflicting pain and torture. African tribes enslaving eachother was merely just animals fighting for their and their offsprings success and survival. Americans enslaving black people was about racism. That's why it's problematic and disingenuous to say "black people sold their own kind into slavery". As someone pointed out earlier, it's like somebody explaining the holocaust as white people committing genocide on white people. It's a misleading oversimplification of what actually happened.
I'm not sure, but i doubt the slaves were treated as poorly as Africans in America tho. It's like people saying racism isn't a thing because Irish people were enslaved too. Yes... But not with the same amount of hatred. So much hatred that a war was fought over it, and segregation and Jim crow persisted.
Brother, I just discovered you on RU-vid and became a subscriber doing the introduction of the first video I listened to . I am aware of the greatest lie, thanks to my preacher uncle. Please keep this flowing, you have my support. Thank you.
Yes, those were some of the greatest lied that were told about African people. Good job! Keep researching and tell the truth. We need brothers like you. God bless.

I would like to hear HomeTeamHistory and Thomas Sowell (senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution) discuss the disingenuous idea that black people sold other black people into slavery. Slavery was an acceptable institution throughout most of human history, and Africa was no exception. Long before the Europeans on the west cost and Arabs of the east cost arrived Africans were fighting each other and taking slaves from each other. In this regard their history was no different than the rest of the world. Neither the Europeans or the Arabs traded exclusively in African slaves. The Arabs were particularly fond of light skinned slaves. The native American nations (tribes) were highly advanced for the time and fought each other and took slaves from each other well before the European settlers arrived. The plight of Africans as slaves in American and the African slave trade is in no way unique to history.
Dude Sowell would absolutely wipe the floor with this clown. Everything HTH does is pure unbridled indulgent fantasy. Completely disregards reality to justify his own prejudice on world history derived from the institutionalized sense of victimhood and the inferiority complex.
HTH just changes the definition of "African" and "slavery." That's how he is able to make the claim. It is extremely disingenuous of him to do this and is completely misleading people.
@@NCRaiquaza What’s to explain. Today it’s obviously a lie and the Bible [The Book of the Dead] is so obviously allegorical especially ALL of the OT and even a lot of the new. There. Debunked.
I may not have a lick of African descent in me, but what you said in this video makes a lot of sense. If anything, it also feels like that subtle paradigm might also still be one of the leading causes of modern-day prejudice itself as well. Sort of a "root of the problem" kind of thing. I have never heard about the "Curse of Ham" until today. I'm curious where it must have taken full root, as I do know that Greece and Egypt were heavy into cultural exchange (religious figures, science, trade, architecture, you name it). Considering that, it would make sense if it started around the time of Roman Emperor Constantine, first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
I happened to come across this video, while browsing on RU-vid. I must say "CONTINUE" producing these kinds of video. We are always been undermined nor overlooked by other (collaborators). Claiming that we can't think for ourselves or do anything to improve our situation, to extend being called uneducated. To a point where we don't even study about our history, with such video or insight would be helpful to our upcoming generation. To know where we come from and where/what we were trying to aim for. Look knowledge is an eye opener. I know there would be some, thinking that I am using strong language. That's not what I am trying to achieve here, but to say "It's about time someone like you, tell a tale of who we are and where we come from" maybe years from now we could see more and more African history being taught in schools. Keep up the good work brother, much love 🥰.
Lol he took 7 mins to say Zimbabwe made structures out of stone and Africa supposedly had a "Renaissance" - the same place that has people believe in superstition black magic and cannibals was the epicenter of discovery and enlightenment. Ok
Man this is deep! There are so many inconsistent ideas about “Africa “that have followed me my whole life. They followed my mum while she was Growing up in Uganda. They followed my grandmother, my great grandmother and others in my family of Ugandan heritage. That due to the tone of skin colour (because there’s only one skin colour in Africa apparently) we have been singled out as needing saving from ourselves Is a great injustice. So many of the horrors that have been perpetuated on the diaspora of Africa can indeed stem from the barbarism of religion. Fantastic video thank you
Yep hate religion. Ain’t done nothing good, especially compared to the negatives. We shouldn’t need it to treat each other and life kindly and with respect.
"And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you." I would LOVE a video speaking on this
Even if somebody sold someone, you weren't forced to buy or treat the product in the manner you did European merchant. If I sell you a brand new car, I don't expect you to set it on fire and drive it over a bridge.
Excellent point. Some like to argue about slavery existing amongst various societies prior to transatlantic slavery. Regardless, only certain some chose to try to make perpetual abuse and torment of the enslaved a goal and industry onto itself.
Yeah well maybe stop pointing the finger at Europeans all the time because all cultures are guilty of slave trade , the Arabs were enslaving africans 100 of years before the Europeans arrived , the word slave come from slav a work for eastern europeans the first slaves , enslaved by the Arabs
