WHITE PEOPLE Didn't Invent Slavery They Ended It!? (Reaction)

How on earth can anyone, with just a little bit of knowledge about history, actually believe that one particular race invented slavery?

Slave owners are of every race and color. My own grandfather from Ireland came here in 1901 and was bought by a plantation owner on the docks outside of New Orleans. None of us today were a slave or a slave owner. Holding to some kind of past grievance only keeps hatred and bitterness in ones heart.

Watch Thomas Sowell

She never said all whites fought in the civil war, she said overwhelmingly, which means most were white, not all. The 54th Massachusetts Regement was an all black regement that served on the Union side during the Civil War and fought with bravery to help end the horrid practice of slavery.

I knew this before the internet yet it seems to be surprising to a lot of people

It’s hard for you to hear the truth when you’ve been lied to your whole lives. Thing is you can’t unhear the truth after hearing it.

"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."

I don’t think she’s trying to ‘prop up’ white people, I think she is trying to point out, in the face of current anti- white sentiment, that Europe and the US, overwhelmingly white, were at the forefront of ending slavery.

Lol. Dude completely missed the point of Kanye and Candace wearing the WLM shirts. They are both All Lives Matter believers. They wore those shorts to point out how ludicrous, bigoted, and divisive those kind of slogans are.

The movie "Roots" is b.s. too.... Look it up, the guy that wrote it said he "wanted a myth that his people could rally around"..

Robert Woodson & Thomas Sowell are two genius men who are so phenomenal at explaining black history & Civil Rights

Candace agrees with you tho. All lives matter. She did that thing with Kanye to start a conversation about BLM. It got more attention from the liberal media than an “all lives matter” shirt

England did it by themselves and ended the thousand years of slaves from Africa to the Middle East where they castrated them, most died but a eunuch was far more valuable than life. Today there’s 45m slaves, in America it’s sex slaves adults and kids, in Africa it’s the fishing industry in Ghana, cobalt mines in the Congo, somewhere children in the lithium mines.. there’s slaves all around the world still today

I think candace Owen’s argues for white people because she can see how much “blame” white people get, as she commented no race of people are guiltless. Like people don’t even know right now in Nigeria they have statues of slave catchers and have refused to take them down. Ghana a few years back come out and apologised about the part they played and had the “year of return” hoping for the descendants of the people they sold to come back and build up their country. One thing I’ve learned in history is no matter what culture and ethnicity you are, always question your leaders motives.

Black Africans were still selling their own people into slavery, while British sailors were fighting and dying to stop it, but as a white British man, I get told that I’m the problem by media every day.

The division in this country weighs HEAVY on me. We're all told to hate groups of people. Other religions, other political views, other races because we're told they hate us. I'm old so most of my human interactions are still in person and not online. I can say with 100% certainty that people still love each other and want nothing but the best for the people that they come across. But then I get online and it's 90% hate. When your car goes off the road in the freezing cold, you don't give a shit what color the tow truck driver is. When you have to take a loved one to the emergency room, you don't give a shit if the ER staff is Democrat or Republican. Anyone that sees this know that I love you and I'm rooting for you!! Anyone!!

There's a movie about the fight to end slavery in the UK during the colonial period. It's called Amazing Grace.

Slavery is not about skin colour or racism, it's mainly about money and greed. I have been told that in the years 1500s, one third of the inhabitants of Lisbon (Portugal) had African blood in their veins, because wealthy slave dealers were mostly Africans or Arabs , Europeans at the time never dare enter the Africa forests or savannahs . By the way, "slave" means "free" or "brave" like in "Slava Ukraina" : the slavic tribes were always fighting each other, making them easy preys , hence the name for an unwilling servant ; African Black slaves were then an exotic and expensive "item", only available for rich people. It's strange to see African people turning toward Islam, when you know that Arabs were the biggest slave dealers, but they did not buy slaves, they took Africans as prisoners and the Coran says you can use a war prisoner as your slave. Europeans made money in "triangular trade" : they came in African ports to buy or exchange slaves , send them to colonies against exotic goods and spices, and made their fortune by selling these goods back in Europe . Buying and selling African slaves by itself was not worth the investment. The thing is that these traders kept books that still exist in Bordeaux (France) and other european countries, but the Arab and African dealers left no trace of their business.

As for the white lives, matter shirt she wore. It was literally done to make the point that Black Lives Matter was a stupid slogan, because like you said, everybody’s life matters.
