I don’t know this guy, but if he’s not a rising power among black leadership, that’s a tragedy.

Wait until they learn that the Plains Indians were doing the slavery thing in North America centuries before the Whites ever landed here.

Minds blown!!

Won’t matter. Their excuse is that everybody else’s slavery was a “good” normal, benevolent kind of slavery. LOL. Basically “unpaid servants” or “over worked family members.” Only the evil white man invented “chattel slavery.”

This guy was a Harvard grad in 2012. Extra kudos for escaping their mind control.

Whites didn’t start slavery.

No just school shootings and only the American ones at that 🙄

The comebacks are becoming as ridiculous as the initial woke-ist hysteria and false premises. Nobody is “absolved” by another race being worse or more involved historically in a particular sin.

Whites did not start slavery, but we also did not learn it from someone else. Slavery has been a large part of every civilization from the Incas to the Chinese to India to Africa. It has been on every continent and it still exists on every continent.

Marx has slavery as a necessary step in all human civilization. And there is no evidence that any current civilization did not go through that step in its past. And we find it today in all civilizations of size.

Black history in America tries to argue that slavery is the key to all US history. It ignores the world. US Africans are generally better off than most Africans around the world. But they are not at the top of any first world country, even though they have been outside of Africa living in first world countries for thousands of years. English, Germans and Jews seem to pop up to the top where ever they are. Not everyone. But some. Indians and Chinese are also popping up as leaders, the head of Microsoft, Foxconn or NVIDIA for example.

African studies or Black history are generally lies. Jaded history with a massive slathering of propaganda. Most people see it right away, and ignore it. But some are either to scared or too indoctrinated to call it out for what it is. Trash.

Slavery has been around since humans started standing up on their hind legs.

Selling oneself into slavery to pay off one’s debts used to be a thing that happened a lot. Selling one’s children into slavery was an alternative to abortion.

I don’t know if this was addressed in “the truth about slavery” but the first slave owner on record in the USA was a black man. (He was a very mean slave owner, too.)

Slavery is still practiced in all parts of the world and in some places (like with our bosom buds the Qatari) it’s legal to trade in slaves.

It’s amazing that people spend time trying to pick apart the issue of slavery that existed a couple of hundred - or a few thousand - years in the past while basically IGNORING the slavery that goes on today.

Our former President Barak Obama and his celebrity/actor pals are very busy in the current international slave trade. That doesn’t get brought up as much.

And what are all those famous, rich folks on Epstein’s List?

Oprah, Ellen, Madonna, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Puffy, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, etc, etc, etc - THEY’RE SLAVE TRADERS. The slaves they are most interested in are the under-age-ten types that are highly disposable. “F**k em and chuck em,” right?

More white people have been enslaved than any other color of people. Ghengis Khan says, “Hello”!!

However, people are not equal. That is a huge lie!!

Whites didn’t invent slavery???

Slavery is as old as mankind.

Can’t understand the distinction of chattel slavery. By definition, slaves are owned, otherwise they would not be slaves.

When I was in the Ivory Coast, as we drove through villages, my interpreter would explain to me that they used to be his ancestors slaves.

I gave this information to my college educated brother a few years ago and he called me a liar. We don’t communicate anymore.

People that support work visas and illegal alien “path to citizenship “ are modern slavers.

In case anyone missed the fine print, the speaker is a Harvard graduate. Class of 2012.

It would be interesting to know more about his under graduate life and opinions.

They didn’t start it, they ended it.

It doesn’t matter. They have their enemy and they’re not giving it up.
