Made up history when very little is known about her. Nice how people like you take fiction and try to claim it’s truth. It speaks volumes of current day racism being pushed and indoctrinated into soft heads by the Left.
@@anubisanarchy5710 KKK hasn’t been a thing for 50+ years wtf are you talking about? Antifa on the other hand was on camera burning cities down and murdering people not to long ago.
Tituba was accused if witchcraft by three people...one of them was the niece of Samuel Parris Those who confessed to the charge of practicing witchcraft were spared, but the ones who denied the charges were executed
My family is from Salem and empaths and lightworkers kind of run in the family. Even though we’re Christian, they would’ve considered us witches. I think they were power hungry and abused gods word.
Knowing the herbs and being a midwife is enough for an accusation of Witchcraft. People will be shocked those go to church are least likely to walk in the light. Lightworkers are something to be feared or more likely envied to people at that time.
I agree, it's incredible and humbling to think how interlinked all Americans are to these events! I never would have guessed I would be since my mother's family is an immigrant family. My father's family has lived in Virginia since the early 1600s, but I found out he had an ancestor that was exiled out of Mass. Colony by the Puritan Church during the Antinomian Controversy. Thank god he luckily left before the Salem Trials and his son settled in MD.
I know for a long time people debated exactly what was her ethnicity. Some people said she was African(that was popular for the supposed Voodoo angle) some people said she was a Native American from Barbados and some people said she was mixed race African and Native American. There's a good chance that all those could fit Tituba.
She was Moorish Indigenous decent! She then had a tribal name! All who lived here in America before Europeans came here were Moors! We have to stop coming up with crayon names! People are not black etc, they are colors which in turn are Adjectives! Tell the truth and it shall set you free! Peace from the Magi in the East 🇲🇦✡️🙏🏿
At that time she was probably Arawak and African....most of the native tribes were exterminated from the Caribbean (Carib were also native first peoples who were a part of the native genocide) when the Europeans arrived. Almost every island has a story or area that's called bloodgut or blood river to pass down the history of this genocide of native peoples from the islands.
She was a smart women, who knew how to save herself.. as in any witch trial, those that spoke out and became witnesses were saved.. it was the pious Christian women that refuse to claim they were witches, hung. Survival of the smart, not of the pious.
I’m from Massachusetts. When I first heard about the Salem Witch Trials I was almost immediately captivated by Tituba 🙏🏾 , just thinking of her day to day existence and then having to put up with all this BS because some silly , sheltered , white girls ate bad bread and wanted to go off accusing mofos of being Witches‼️ if I was her I would of cleared out the WHOLE town starting with those girls and their perspective families 💯 🛑 🧢
As a grown woman, I’d blame their parents..not impressionable kids. Kinda sus that you so proudly announce that you’d go after the kids because they are “sheltered white girls”…girl wtf.
You're kidding me with your attitude right? You do know she was Caribe, not blick.. She also loved those girls...I lived in Danvers....the history is taught properly there.

You made an error in the mention of the "witch cake" it was actually made by a neighbour of the Pariss family. She made the cake and fed it to a dog and that was meant to ferret out the practitioners. Secondly, the cause of the visions can possibly be linked to ergotamine infestation of the eye grown for bread. Ergotamine requires certain conditions to grow, like a very wet harvest season and subsequent storage of the grain in a dark, damp place. Generally , ergotamine poisoning also causes gas gangrene, but by baking it into bread the gangrenous part of the mold was killed leaving only the psychoactive component. Furthermore, the amount of ergot that was needed to produce the hallucinations in the girls was rather minimal compared to the amount needed to affect the adult family members. Lastly only the Pariss children and the other children that visited the house were affected. Since they were the most likely to receive freshly baked bread, it makes sense that they would also be the ones to have ergot hallucinations. *ergotamine and its compounds were studied to isolate the hallucinogenic compound in the 20th century and later synthesized in the lab by Dr. Timothy Leary who called it L.S.D. Edit: I'm sorry for the speech up there, but this is in my field of study, and a colleague and I have tested this theory, and found that even with minor amounts of ergot the effects are still the same. And no, we didn't use children in our experiment. Portion size was adjusted to account for an adults increased size and weight. At a rate of 15 micrograms/ kilogram, the hallucinatory effects were present but not very severe, while 30mcg/kg caused hallucinatory effects that lasted nearly 11 hours.
Mia jealous of her why? She was a slave, she was on the very bottom of the social hierarchy. There are no reports of her possessing great beauty or charm or anything else to be jealous of, she was just a poor slave girl. What exactly do you think they were jealous of? Do you think people were also jealous of Sarah Goode, the mentally ill old lady who was accused along with tituba?
@@Amanda-James jealousy isn't always based on looks, material matter or skin color , sometimes its jus so simple like they way people love or admire and respect you in spite of all the things , you just mentioned. Never underestimate it
@@Noochieano I think you’re a racist bigot and just showed it with that comment, Boo. I’m gonna make sure little cowardly bigot racist creeps like you get exposed for what you are while you think your racism, bigotry and discrimination is okay because you’ve targeted White people. Not gonna play it, Boo. Take your BLM KKK garbage somewhere else!
She trying to be alive especially during that eras, where racism and radicalism are very strong. When she herself a slave and a outsider. She so likely being killed if she denied it, is better to made a false confession to saving her life. The majistret, parish and judge just abusing their power, to condemned anyone that they hate. "Thou shall not harm your neighbours" didn't apply to them at all.
I most likely would've done the same especially being a slave good thing she was highly knowledgeable about the true purpose of the settlers and didn't condemn herself and played her part smart! After all, we are the great grandchildren of those they tried to kill. We are still here🧙♀️🔮
Yeah, I believe that she used her intelligence to her advantage. A lot of slaveholders kind of underestimated their slaves . Just because they came from exotic lands, and were darker complexion, sure they probably thought “ they are not that smart . But I believe Tituba was an exception, and because she was taken in by such a prominent family, she felt as though she was protected .
Some say she was originally from Barbados or Africa. We don't know if she was Black or Indigenous Native of the Americas... So to me? I consider her both.
the Arawak tribe is an indigenous tribe that lived in the Caribbean, similar race to the Mayans or American Indian. I don't believe they practised voodoo.
Well voodoo or creocreo was being used all over at the time. Let's not forget about the Atlantic slave trade which is the reason why theirs different tribes within the islands and the Americas.
That makes perfect sense. In those days there wasn't an awareness of curtain diseases conditions etc. As well other occurrences in the world from health,astronomy, etc.
I think fate served its karma fairly. I don't condone what Tituba did. but when your on the raw end of life and your getting screwed by an unfair society, you have to make your own luck and survive anyway you can. they were gonna kill her anyway, she owes them nothing, why should she have to die while they live their merry little lives like they have done nothing wrong, like they didn't condemn an innocent woman to death. if shes going to die shes gonna get even by turning them on each other and let them destroy themselves with their own stupid fears, greed, and beliefs. I think that's a fair bit of karma. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
I'm was born in Concord, MA. My birth certificate says it... And all of it was messed up. Sometimes, I have that feeling knowing I'm so far from my hometown. That the story of the witch trials is true.
There's a Witch who was hung her nickname was Honey and her 1st name was North. I'm relate to this witch and I was wondering if it's possible to find stories about her? (Turns out she was in the salem witch trials three times before she died.) Also I do know that two children stated that she was a witch. They were very dramatic. A child one time even faked that she was being bewitched during a trail.
It didn't matter what she was. If you were anything but white in these days and had dark skin you were still considered black. This still stands to this day.
Unfortunately, yes. I guess the world can never be free of bigots soon enough. A day when we could get past our differences would be nice. Though, I doubt it'd be long lived. :
Someone’s ethnicity isn’t always obvious. I went to school with a boy from Nicaragua and his skin was brown. I remember him arguing with a kid on the bus cause the kid thought he was African American. “I’m not black!” He yelled offended the other kid would think that. This same boy, a year later, would go off on someone else for calling him Hispanic cause he’s black! I remember reading in the back of the bus and that caught my attention. He was standing and yelling at some other kid. I agree in those days people were much more ignorant. But nowadays we have so many mixed people it’s hard to tell. My son doesn’t look Hispanic but his father is and lots of people tell me I look Hispanic but I’m not lol 🤷🏻♀️ I just politely ask people their ethnicity and it’s usually when I see something I really like about them. I have a friend who’s mixed and she has the most beautiful hazel eyes and olive skin, she is middle eastern, but you couldn’t tell that just by looking at her
@@kaydykes9916 In most cases, dark skin is more prevalent in people with heritage in the tropics. Although, there are exceptions like the Eskimo peoples of Greenland.
Ketreena Williams You cannot name any society that treated their minorities in a humane manner. White poor people in Europe didn’t have the greatest life btw
That picture looked like a guy being burned. It was very very rare that a guy would be burned, typically they where crushed to death by placing a plank on their chest and piling rocks on top. Or drowned, in some areas.
I love her because was smart enough to not get herself killed! Which is even more amazing when you consider that she was a slave. I'm still wondering why she got in trouble, and Mary Sibley, who basically told her to make a Witch Cake, and how to do it, was never even questioned as far as we know! If anyone was a witch, it was probably Mary Sibley. Speaking of which, ever seen the show Salem? It's not based on real history. But it's damned good! Especially the first two seasons! By the way JustVerina, you are very beautiful! 😀
Tituba was orginally from South America ,Guyana and transported to Barbados then to Salem Tituba was part Arawak and Black,and in Guyana today there are many Arawak indians. You get to understand how she was transported to Barabados was because both were under British Rule ,even Salem at the time.
She was bailed out by another Salem resident who kept her as a slave. That is what I was taught my whole life. I never heard she left Salem with her husband before.
I don't believe these girls were possessed. I think it was all hysterical behavior. If you look at who was accused, you have the outcasts, such as, Sarah Goode (mentally ill) and Sarah Osborne (difficult & had issues with the Paris family). What I think is clear is that people reported neighbors that had property they wanted but the neighbor refused to sell. Some of the women were older. The woman who owned the tavern (lacking morals). So I think that those who were picked were picked because someone else wanted something they had or they didn't like.
She probably used stories of old from her village. Or where ever she was originally from. But I don’t fault her! She did what she had to, too survive. And if anyone had the opportunity or ability to save themselves they would use it. Hindsight is 20/20. So ppl look at this, and say look at all she brought about by her actions. But if u really put your self in the time. You will see that she probably thought after that trail it would end and not snow ball. But when it snowballed she did do what she had to to now blame others. The ones on trial with her, well for her to go to the extent she did, yet not condemn others, shows they did something! So I said all this to say, I Applaud her creativity, sensitivity, and Survival instincts! Because in the end that’s what she exhibited
Anyone else came here after watching salem (series)? John is portrayed as a white man who loved mary sibley dearly but apparently he's native american and he married tituba
Damn, half of the time Women weren’t witches? They were just normal women? Damn back then was so judgmental and scary all the same time. Edit: Tituba May of Lied... a lot. But she didn’t want it to happen though, accusing possibly some innocent women back then?
It is time to remember and reflect on the crimes the Puritans committed in Essex County Mass. in 1692, how they unjustly accused and murdered by hanging so many of our people, Salem will never be forgotten or forgiven. We offer a Prayer to our Lord Ahriman and enter into the rituals of blood, salt and water in remembrance. Blessed be.
@@BlackZatara Salem now known as Danvers was the scene of the most infamous injustices of the early history of Essex County, if people want to practice their beliefs there should be no barriers to stop them, we ridicule Christians because we believe their beliefs are wrong and stupid, Christians can ridicule us for the same reasons but when people take it into their hands to murder others because they think differently to themselves that is when you get religious fanatics attacking Wiccans and claiming to have some divine right to do so. Blessed be.
I think it is almost impossible to know what you would have done in that kind of situation. I am certenly glad to live in this century! But it is intresting that her description of the devil is so close to her owner,Samuel Parris. And we know that he beat her before she confessed. Whatever her "plan" was,(survival,freedom or revenge)the outcome ment she could leave. But one must wonder how the rest of her life became. Did she blame her self(even though the responsibility falls on the so called "justicesystem")?Sorry for bad english spelling,best wishes from Sweden👍.
People always focus on Tituba Indian arguing abiut her ethnicity while the forget about the indubitably two enslaved Black women Mary Black and Candy ...which could be simply because the latter two were black ipso facto, sigh
And seriously, calling someone possessed is dangerous and a complete fabrication of gullible minds. Stop trying to spread crap like this. You see how it gets innocent people killed?
Evil Princess Says Wednesday Addams. Why do people say this to me all the time? They act like it’s magically gonna work. What do you expect me to say ? “Oh yes thank you so much. You’ve saved me. God bless you.” No... no.
Eclectic Craft yea I totally agree with you I was just kidding and quoting the Priests from the Movie The Exorcist. I myself am not religious at all. So other than a pop cultural reference I don't think you should be compelled by religion or fear to do away with who you are.
Eclectic Craft Oh Snap😂 I saw that movie as a Child in 1996 and being in love with it ever since. And Yes absolutely Fortunate to live in an exceptional time that a massive majority of People unfortunately never even imagined safely being a Witch or much less publicly living as one. how astonishing and humbling is that!
One Tituba wouldn’t had her hair in a bonnet showing hair was a sin, and that is what makes the girl in pearl earrings so important. She is showing her hair. Plain and simple it was mass hysteria, and a little of easy way to steal land... Tituba was the stranger with custom they didn’t understand so of course she’s going to be the scape goat, but she got to live on until old age. Is wasn’t a slave she was in an Christian apprentice program.
Every time there's a debate about Tituba's ethnicity... I always ask myself how come why Mary Black, Candy the young boy named "Negro"(!) who died before the trials are always omitted - hmm ... perhaps because those three were doubtlessly Black?
Excuse me legendary of History if you believe that the devil has anything to do with witchcrafting at all whatsoever then you are most certainly most definitely indubitably without a doubt mentally lost I myself am a Hereditary Animist Witch and we do not associate ourselves nor do we do any of the devils work or biddings and nor do we even fraternize ourselves with the devil we never have and we never will This coming from an Actual Real True Witch I just thought you should know Thank You
As a male witch in his defense he is only telling what they documented at the time who labeled Tituba a devil worshipper as well as a witch. So don’t feel offended, he’s speaking on what somebody else had said.
Legends of History, I beg your pardon, but I think your use of the word "Church" might be a bit misleading to your audience. Those who were behind the Salem witch trials were not from the Church of Rome, but protestants, who very likely did not act on behalf of any organization. The catholic Church was never a fan of superstitious practices such as witch hunts, and its body count is relatively low. Most of the witch hunts were performed by single, fanatical preachers who had no backing from "competent" authorities, thus I believe using the word "Church" might be inappropriate. Forgive me if I came out as impolite, it is only my contribution as a long time fan of this channel and I hope to have not corrected you wrongly.
