The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism 

Good Book

Black and White labor, Jewish wealth. Indenture servitude was Slavery also for the whites.

Please show the wealthy people today who got wealthy off slavery. The poorest people both black and white live in the south.

@@edwinamendelssohn5129 no one ever researches the slave owners and their decedents

@@edwinamendelssohn5129 what are you talking about? Are you dense?

Slavery is not capitalism. It is part of feudalism. At least according to Marx.

Well done!

Eloquently "put"! 👏

China had slavery for most of its existence and by some accounts still dOws in places. It’s also a politically minded myth that slavery is the reason the United States is so wealthy today. Slavery was only legal for 89 years, and then only in the poorest areas that stuck to agricultural production while the northern states industrialized and created the modern American economy.

@@graterdeddly9527What does China have to do with with Slavery and Capitalism in America, When the facts are there just accept them and move on.

Baptist went to Church on Sunday, then Lynched blacks on Monday.

Baptist slave owners were so warm and sensitive.

yes it is post racial

I correct people all the time.

"enslaved people" is self-serving euphemism, a transparent attempt to "soften" the harsh reality of slavery, and to make the slave owner feel a little better about themselves.

Very well said. Thank you 😊

There is only one family who holds tht power The rothschilds. They are the monarchy the others are the lords and ladies of the aristocracy. I once saw a photo op between Rothschild and prince charles. R was poking him in the chest and no one said anything. Yet supposedly touching the person of the royal family is a big NO.

@@hellooutthere8956 There are noble and royal families in Europe that far outrank the piddling Rothschilds. Remember, the Rothschilds were appointed to their position by the House of Hesse. They remain servants of the Habsburgs, to give one contemporary example. The House of Torlonia oversees the Bank for International Settlements, which is the central bank of central banks. They also oversee the US the Treasury. In terms of wealth and power, they make the Rothschilds look like mere bank clerks. It has been the practice of the Eurpoean Nobility, and especially the Italian Black Nobility, to allow the court Jews to rise above the lowly orders and to appear to control global finance, in order to distract from their own absolute tyranny. Very few people are even aware of some of these far more dominant noble and royal houses. This is by design.

There is trafficking of people today (farm workers, sex workers, and other industries) and it is the modern form of slavery. The nice thing about the Left is that they always have a pity party to see who is the most oppressed.

50% of all slaves sold in Africa indeed were criminals, and adultery was the principal crime. The others were prisoners captured in war or by slavers. Africans did not come to America as victims of the white man. They were captured, imprisoned, and enslaved or killed (the lucky ones were the slaves as the other half of the criminals got the only other sentence for crimes - death). Black animists and Muslims enslaved their own people in Africa and sold them to Muslims north of the Niger River and to other tribes in Africa and to traders from Europe and the Americas. The African slave was a victim of his own race, who enslaved him and then sold him. The international slave trade ended in 1808, but the last slaves came to the United States in 1860 the ship picked up its cargo in Africa, and the captain bought his goods by picking out his purchase from a pen holding 1000 Africans and he bought them from an African chief, long after the slave trade ended officially with Europeans and Americans, and there was a Slave Naval embargo imposed on the Africa coast.

@@cliffpage7677 80% of Europeans that came to Turtle Island were also criminals. Now the problem is this Country stole a Land from people who were already here.

@@edwinamendelssohn5129 Which Arab country has slaves ?

It's been said that enslaved people in the Caribbean and South America may have suffered the harshest pains with shorter lives in that they were worked sun-up to sun-up, using all human strength until an immenant death and regularly replaced with another shipment of bodies as needed. Many did not live beyond mid-twenties in age for men, or thier late-teens for women. The transport of enslaved people ended in those places before the US did. In the US, however, when the US was supposed to end transporting Africans, it did not. Then when they did, in order to keep a steady supply of enslaved they did atrocious things to keep a ongoing population. Longer lives were more valuable than short ones and RE-population was critical. Hence enslaved young women were forced to be impregnated and provide as many as 20 births (+/-) each by other unknown enslaved Africans or their captor. "American" slaves endured and relentlessly birthed a lifetime and legacy of suffering 400 years long. Conclusion: Whether six in one hand or a half dozen in another, both extremes uprooted millions of people scattered over the world for the wealth & pleasure of their captors. The sufferings of chattle slavery were the difference of a guaranteed personal fast death or a panoramic view of a miserable life of slow, deep suffering for you and everyone you knew.

@@Historian212 I can imagine them doing all the hard work and he gets his name first on whatever article is published.

Explain

I did not feel that this presentation was helpful to the dialog taking place in the 21st century. He starts by saying that much of America’s prosperity was enabled by slaves. The economic growth of most of the states that stayed in the Union during the Civil War came from entrepreneurs and legal immigrants. In the slave holding states, aside from Delaware, most of the wealthy were slave holders. However, many of them were no longer wealthy after that war. This lecturer does not mention the huge price in lives paid by the Union states to fight against slavery. The number of Union dead may be over 400,000. He appears to call for reparations. That money would have to come from today’s taxpayers, who had no voice in the slavery issue. Their ancestors never benefitted from slavery. Mr. Baptist fails to note that most slave-produced cotton lost much of their market when Jefferson Davis withheld the southern cotton crop from England. Instead of entering the Civil War on the side of the south. Instead, England found that cotton grew well in India. Slavery was evil. No argument there. However, constantly revisiting the issue and argueing that white Americans should feel guilty or be punished for an evil that ended over 80 years before they were born. Also, like many of my ancestors, their ancestors did not live in America at that time.

@@keithranker3908 First off let me say that I have never, not once heard anyone say white people should feel guilty about slavery. That's just made up nonsense people use to argue against any true telling of the history of slavery. Anyone that feels guilt over something they did not due is an idiot. The reasons why we teach the historical role slavery played in this country, is the same reason we teach any history, to educate ourselves so we can continue to evolve as a species. The reason people push back and attack certain studies and teachings is very simple, they feel the idealized image they have been shown since birth and have come to identify with, actually has some defects. Some find that frightening. The history of this country that has been taught and ingrained into the fabric of our society has been one that is thoroughly scubbed of its stains. If you were anything other than a white male you did not exist in school books for most of this country's existance. Little by little people are gaining an understanding of the importance of acceptance. Each generation learns a bit more truth, and that knowledge is what leads to understanding and growth. There will always be some who will refuse to grow. They will claim something is bad because it may turn kids gay, or make them want to pray to Lucifer, or make them feel guilty, it's all just a way of covering your ears and saying nahnahnanahna. It's just a bullshit excuse that anyone with a brain can see right through.

@@keithranker3908 I don't believe most reparation arguments ever mention that anyone living today is responsible for sorrows and injustices of the past. There are very wealthy institutions and corporations whose existence was made possible by slavery ND their are many families who have lived off that generational inheritance. I care more about truth than reparations. I wish there was more talk about the evils of those who thought more about their wealth than they did about helping to cause war that killed young people who thought they were fighting for a noble cause. When in reality the rich of the south hated poor white folks. They only treated them nice when slavery ended and they needed allies. Same thing still happening.

Do it, friend. I first read it in my 70's, and it's had a large impact on how I understand America's sad, ongoing racial conflict. We think of Blacks as historical victims without appreciating their forced contribution to the country's economic dominance, even today.

That's great you were able to do that. Sure the way you were raised had more to do with your success than anything else and paying cash is the best way to go. The 1965 Great Society program, the war on poverty and the Civil Rights Act under LBJ was suppose to end racism, discrimination by increasing welfare, subsidized housings, food stamps, start of Medicaid and Head Start, seems to have had the opposite effect. Generations of African Americans have known no other way of life but government aid. Wonder if cash is the answer 🤔

@@MelissaR784 Who the fork do you think you are KKKaren, to question in any way our Reparations Justice Claim? We are intolerant about Black Holocaust Denial and those who practice it.

Funny that you mentioned that because Welfare and Government assistance were designed to help who?? Listen to the song Welfare Cadillac. Everyone won't do right by the money yet that's not your problem is it?? If it's ever done will the jealous hearted folks leave us alone🤔 we already know the answer

@@gregorythomassr5485 the United States is nothing more than a welfare system for white people in the first place and in the actual welfare social services white people are the vast recipients of benefits not black people but white people

They stole wealth from us after slavery.

Yea black where the real Indians they won’t tell you that.

Thats somewhat true…i would say the brown people with a red undertone…or copper colored…but at the same time we must understand that its people of color on every land mass on the planet….95% of ancient & indigenous people are so called “colored”…so when we read about european countries in history lets not jump to the conclusion that those people are pale skinned…1 Love

For many it would be gone in short order. Teach financial literacy much poverty would not exist.

Do not forget slave owners were paid reperations for their loss of slaves.

Yep, shows how entrenched male • sexual • degeneration and addiction was ! Some sick, $ empowered Secessionists must have been demon possessed 👺 !!!

What do y9u mean? Everyone who learns about slavery learny that female slaves were forced to reproduce. The banning of the importation of African slaves in the early 1800s made that the on,y source of new slaves

Amazing how a person who is NOT an American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) takes a conference discussing ADOS, wealth extracted, horrors inflicted make it about them. Absolute reprobate.

@@sistahb5159 I am unclear whether I am being called an absolue reprobate or a perosn I described who lives partly on inherited wealth and is proselytizing for Angela Davis. If the latter person I had an extremely unpleasant interaction with this person which started with me pointing out that Ralph Nadir(sic) gave the 2000 alection to GWB and this person reprimanded me that ther wa no real diffence between Bush and Gor and that what mattered was establishing a viable 3rd party" then this person reprimanded me for saying that a person who is not epidemiologically trained could call Covid-19 "the China virus" and NOT be a racist. I wa repeimended that persons of asian ancestry are being victims of racist crimes but people from Lyme Connecticut and Legionairres (Militaty veterans) are not. Since I can't show picture here; www.bmccedd.org/w/images/a/a7/TheActiFist.jpg Excuse if the following news article form The NYT is a repeat but it seem to me important: The New York Times, +2021.08.27, "New York's Private Schools Tackle White Privilege. It Has Not Been Easy.", by Michael Powell. "In February 2021, Paul Rossi, a math teacher [at Grace Church School, an elite private school in Manhattan]... met with a white consultant, who displayed a slide that named supposed characteristics of white supremacy. These included individualism, worship of the written word and objectivity.' Mr. Rossi said he felt a twist in his stomach. 'Objectivity?' he told the consultant, according to a transcript. 'Human attributes are being reduced to racial traits.' 'As you look at this list', the consultant asked,' are you having "white feelings"?' 'What,' Mr. Rossi asked, 'makes a feeling "white"?' Some of the high school students then echoed his objections. 'I'm so exhausted with being reduced to my race,' a girl said. 'The first step of antiracism is to racialize every single dimension of my identity.'... A school official reprimanded Mr. Rossi, accusing him of 'creating a neurological imbalance' in students.... A few days later the head of school wrote a statement and directed teachers to read it aloud in classes: 'When someone breaches our professional norms... the response includes a warning in their permanent file that a further incident of unprofessional conduct could result in dismissal.' A sizable group of parents and teachers say the schools have taken it too far -- and enforced suffocating and destructive groupthink on students... [One parent], who notes that his heritage is a mix of Jewish, Mexican and Yaqui tribe, pulled his children out of Riverdale and created a foundation to argue against this sort of antiracist education. 'The insistence on teaching race consciousness is a fundamental shift into a sort of tribalism,' he said.... This conflict plays out amid the high peaks of American economic inequality. Tuition at many of New York's private schools hovers between $53,000 and $58,000, the most expensive tab in the nation. Many heads of school make between $580,000 to more than $1.1 million. .... Grace Church School offered [Mr. Rossi] a contract if he participated in 'restorative practices' for the supposed harm done to students of color."

Especially because the deranged • southern • white • I N S T I T U T I O N Persisted a lot longer than the profitable $ perversion during the ✡ Holocaust ...

And to add insult to injury they just dropped the cases.

@@Rhythmiconsit shouldn’t have been but I felt it was unbelievable.

@@karendalsadik7119 I thought for sure no one was going to deny that woman justice (but there were several of them all really old). When, in defense of the decision he said that the case would open up everything; anyone who lived through a historical event could sue, I was shocked but not surprised. A crime occurred, they are entitled to compensation.

Off course poor people are exploited beyond color lines

Isaiah 14:21 “Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers;

At one hell of a cost.

just wait until he finds out the internal African slave trade and the Arab slave trade in Africa were both many magnitudes larger than the slave trade to North America

@@moarliekmirite racist Bot. You've stated this deflective trope on multiple feeds

@@moarliekmirite You need to send this message to the host if African-Americans who have tried to turn themselves into pseudo-Arabs based on something they have read. Thank you for witnessing a truth I have repeatedly taught to my college students. Peace, Blessings, Respect

Yes the Maafa.

How are you coming to that conclusion?

@@TheVuduYuDu Relevant, pertinent piece of history that needs to be understood by ALL.

@@tlcSerenityScents That's fair. Thank you for responding.
