Great job by Candace!
Potential vp material, in a few years.
From several of historical pieces on the 1619 Jamestown ‘introduction’ that I’ve read...it would appear that virtually all that were brought into the farming community...earned their freedom within three years (which was the common theme of English debt-players in the same situation). This did evolve...mostly over the type of crops that were taking off.
Tobacco versus cotton....one takes around 1/10th of the manpower.
It’s my understanding that slavery has a very long and very unpleasant history and has been practiced in many parts of the world.
I want to cancel the Pyramids and have them torn down because of slave labor. Destroy Pharaoh power.
It’s started with the Brits and ended with over 600,000 Americans dead.
As another pertinent post this morning observed:

We get wrapped up in the fact that slavery existed here and that it was wrong. What is distorted is that black people have been led to believe that it was a unique problem for ‘blacks in America’. They’re completely unaware that it’s historically a color blind topic and that their own people in Africa rounded them up and sold them out.
The fact that white westerners ENDED slavery in WESTERN nations, while it continues in many countries, is ignored. An African descendant of slavery, here in the USA in 2024, should consider themselves the winner of the jackpot. Yet they’re made to believe they’re an ‘oppressed victim’, it’s insanely distorted and media driven for political gain. They stoke the emotions of black people to drive behavior, to make them vote a certain way. It’s evil and all about power and money. Yet many of them don’t see this. Thank you public ‘education’.
Maybe we should have a government program, taxpayer funded, for a free year-long, basic living expenses paid, trip to an African country (as government money, apparently, has no limits). Go and see what you’d otherwise be and how you’d live. Stay if you want.
Yes racism exists - but it doesn’t hold anyone down and most of it is currently coming from black people.
I don’t know what it will take for blacks to get past their victim mindset, but here is my 42 cents worthy on slavery.
The constitution was ratified in 1789. The 13th amendment abolishing slavery was ratified in Dec 1865, not “Juneteenth.” That’s 76 years. A short time historically.
That should be celebrated as a major human rights and hisgorical accomploishment. Yet we are still wallowing in victimhood and calls for reparations.
The message to blacks should be, get trained or educated and get to work. Stop committing crimes and having so many young men in prison. If you can’t afford to raise abby don’t get pregnant. You will be judged on merit when you apply for a job.
Maybe Candace or Vetek can deliver that message. And keep calling Sharpton and Jackson what they are race hustlers who have enriched themselves.
I’ve generally some mixed feelings about Candace and Prager U, but brava and bravo—this little clip is very well done!
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.
Saved for later read.
