Slavery didn’t start in 1492 when Columbus came to the New World. And it didn’t start in 1619 when the first slaves landed in Jamestown. It’s not a white phenomenon. The real story of slavery is long and complex. Candace Owens explains.

slavery is ageless. When one warring band defeated another the losers were either killed or enslaved. Every civilization that fought each other enslaved the losers. There was no race involved. Genetically the capture of women was probably beneficial to the gene pool. Lots of ancient DNA shows women from other lineages than the population as a whole. They didn’t get there by winning a bachelorette contest.
I’ve generally some mixed feelings about Candace and Prager U, but brava and bravo—this little clip is very well done!
What started with the Brits?
want to cancel the Pyramids and have them torn down because of slave labor. Destroy Pharaoh power.

Please move into the 21st century.It’s been common knowledge for quite awhile that the pyramids were not built with slave labor, but with a paid workforce.
Bmp
Leftists admit that slavery preceded the transatlantic slave trade, but claim that it is different from other forms of slavery because of its “racialization.”
As Candice outlines here, slavery has no racist barriers, so on it’s face the claim is ridiculous. But let’s get further into and address the idea that “black” slavery was a creation of “white” rule.
First of all: had the “red” people not died of small pox, had a more accommodating agricultural work ethic, etc., there’d never have been “black” slavery, as the indians would have suited European needs perfectly — as they did in the Chilean and Bolivian mines, btw.
Secondly, the skin color distinction was no different from any other ancient world master-slave distinction. They didn’t need different skin colors to know who was master and who was slave. The racialization comes after the end of slavery, which, certainly, took decades to resolve, but not because slavery was for blacks but because slavery and racial discrimination is inherently wrong.
We ended it in 1865, but then we brought it back in the late 90s and early 2000s with our trade deals with the Chicoms. The only difference between the slave holding states and the free traitors is that instead of importing the slaves, they offshored the plantations.
I see you are a public school student. A real historian.

Do a little research. You might learn something.

Doesn’t work for me either.
