Pretty fucking simple. Every civilization and race across the globe has enslaved others or their own, since the Dawn of time. Thomas Sowell has some great thoughts and research on the topic in his books, which dispel current literature on the topic which was been a rewriting of the topic of slavery. Most would like to believe white settlers sailed their boats to Africa, came ashore and captured people and brought them back as slaves. This isn’t true at all. In fact the movie Roots was a lie and even the writer said it was. For one they’d have been slaughtered by African tribes and two they would die of viral diseases. Yes, slaves were bought and enslaved, but not because they were sought out, but because they were offered as cheap labor. Many of the writers in early slavery have stated they wanted to give black people something to believe vs being enslaved by their own race. Africa is a nation of tribes and these people bought and sold each other, as did racial groups in the Middle East and Europe.
The British and US governments were the first to realize its negatives because of their religious beliefs (Christianity) and stomped it out in a very short order vs the length of time global slavery had transpired, quicker than any other group of people. Many of these same area still practice slavery to this day, but in Europe and North America we do not (unless you consider low wages at a large corporation slavery).
Yeah, maybe the word “first” is better changed to “eager.” Or simply of a religious conviction to stomp it out faster than any other group in history.
Why don’t you call Thomas Sowell and ask him? He seems to be more intelligent or educated on the matter than I. I’m sure he has an email as well. Report back when you get an answer.
Only after thousands of years and hundreds of centuries in the consolidation of militaries, nations and territories in those areas. Focusing on American slavery, while using another example of slavery is a political scheme to discredit America’s values, which is a straw man argument.
No just because one single culture decided to abandoned it doesn't mean they abolished it. The United States and Britain were the first countries to go around the world and force/convinced other countries to end slavery.
This is what I use as a counter to all the woke fucks claiming sports names should go away specifically baseball.
They say Cheifs, Indians, Braves, etc are racist and offensive. Throw the Pirates or buccaneers out there as a counter.
Like the title says, white Europeans were enslaved for centuries by groups like the Barbary Pirates...MUSLIMS from the northern coast of Africa.
Being a white Christian, I demand they fight for my feelings and denounce teams named after Pirates.
If I want to get real silly, I’ll tell them my grandfather was killed by a Trolley and tell them the Dodgers (Trolley Dodgers) should take into account all the persons killed by trolleys.
Sometimes it’ll click and they realize there is actually a slippery slope. Sometimes, but rare.
I just replied to another person about how my point was not being technically accurate, but more to show that EVERYTHING can be considered offensive and leads us down a road (that we’re already on) where nothing is appropriate.
Don’t like Redskins? Well better call them Washington Football club. Wait Washington was named after a slave owner? How dare you.
Being a white Christian, I demand they fight for my feelings and denounce teams named after Pirates.
If you were the descendant of White Christian slaves living in Northern Africa and there was a football team called "Fighting Christians" (which would never happen in North Africa anyway), THEN you would have a point.
The point, which you so clearly missed, is that we shouldn’t look to correct every offensive action in the world made by people who are long dead. It leads to a road where nothing is allowed bc pretty much everything is offensive to someone.
Yep. Offer of fiction in exchange for consent to ignore reality. We are up against our own selfish ignorance to the point where a parasite systematically exploits it to the detriment of all, and they even offer themselves up as the boogeyman just so that we can keep shirking responsibility for ourselves.
Everything to keep mankind ignorant towards reality, and it is this utter selfish ignorance that inspires the parasites to ruthlessly continue exploiting us.
No. The Matrix represent a sleight of hand; an alleviation of guilt to avoid karmic justice for ill intended offers made. Our parasites are doing this all the time, which is why they still promote Plato's "Allegory of the Cave".
The above sleight of hand explanation is also theirs,and it hides a different origin...ALL information already exists within reality, and we cannot add any new information to it; only create out of (transmutation). Them explaining the information to us ignorant slaves prevents us from comprehending it ourselves. They lay all their crimes open so that we don't increase our own potential by comprehending reality, and instead consent to the fiction they feed us (the screen we look at is still within Plato's cave.
Us talking about red pills was their idea; same with wikileaks, the fappening, the Snowden leaks, pizzagate, Q-anon, /pol/-itical incorrect, google ngram viewer; access to endless free ebooks, webster's 1828 dictionary, black's law dictionary, the truther movements, gematria calculator, the flat earth society, his-story (the kosher lie agreed upon), alternative history (with the kosher boys added back into it), all contradictions to both sides of history.
This is all part of population control; they're writing an enlightenment arc into their stories, and we are the ignorant participants playing along with fiction, while ignoring our own stories within reality; the ones we write into our bloodlines through our choice based actions.
Art simply means creation, and motion corrupts and destroys all creation, which is why they trick us to get attached to the created (the art), so that motion will destroy us along with it, instead of us adhering to the act of creation by constantly adapting to motion, as reality demands from us, to sustain ourselves within it.
...is important.
The highest value in existence is ONEs temporary ability to evaluate ALL. All information nature offers is predefined, and it offers it as inspiration for you to evaluate it, so that you can increase your own potential through comprehending what ALL perceived means. Instead they trick us to fight about selfishly proclaimed values of that which nature (energy in motion) destroys anyways.
slave (n.)
late 13c., "person who is the chattel or property of another," from Old French esclave (13c.), from Medieval Latin Sclavus "slave" (source also of Italian schiavo, French esclave, Spanish esclavo), originally "Slav" (see Slav); so used in this secondary sense because of the many Slavs sold into slavery by conquering peoples.
The oldest written history of the Slavs can be shortly summarised--myriads of slave hunts and the enthralment of entire peoples. The Slav was the most prized of human goods. With increased strength outside his marshy land of origin, hardened to the utmost against all privation, industrious, content with little, good-humoured, and cheerful, he filled the slave markets of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It must be remembered that for every Slavonic slave who reached his destination, at least ten succumbed to inhuman treatment during transport and to the heat of the climate. Indeed Ibrāhīm (tenth century), himself in all probability a slave dealer, says: "And the Slavs cannot travel to Lombardy on account of the heat which is fatal to them." Hence their high price.
The Arabian geographer of the ninth century tells us how the Magyars in the Pontus steppe dominated all the Slavs dwelling near them. The Magyars made raids upon the Slavs and took their prisoners along the coast to Kerkh where the Byzantines came to meet them and gave Greek brocades and such wares in exchange for the prisoners. ["The Cambridge Medieval History," Vol. II, 1913]
My people the Macedonians are a example. Anytime this black focused slavery comes up I mention my people who have suffered greatly various times like many other nations in European history.
more Europeans were captured and sold into the barbary slave trade than were brought to the colonies. only 600,000 african slaves came to the united states. that is nothing compared to what went to brazil or all the Europeans taken into the barbary trade. The barbary slave trade was so bad it is literally the reason our navy exists.
1800 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians: The Swedes had been at war with the Tripolitans when they were joined by the Americans.
1801 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians: The Barbary pirates demanded tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. If they failed to pay, the pirates would attack the ship, take their goods, and often enslave crew members or hold them for ransom.
When Thomas Jefferson became President of the United States in March 1801, he refused to pay tribute and sent a United States Naval fleet to the Mediterranean. The fleet bombarded various fortified pirate cities in present-day Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria, ultimately extracting concessions of fair passage from their rulers.
1804 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians: A US Navy expedition under Commodore Edward Preble engaged gunboats and fortifications in Tripoli.
1812 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians: James Madison, Jefferson's successor, directed military forces for the second war with Barbary Pirates shortly after the conclusion of the War of 1812 with the Treaty of Ghent.
1816 August 27 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians, Anglo-Dutch raid on Algiers, Admiral Edward Pellew, 1st Viscount Exmouth: immobilized most of the Pirate fleet, the Dey of Algiers was forced to agree to terms which included the release of the surviving 1,200 Christian slaves and the cessation of the practice of enslaving Christians, although slave trading in non-Europeans could still continue. After losing in this period of formal hostilities with European and American powers, the Barbary states went into decline.
1817 September 5 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians, Karamanli Dyansty, Barbary Wars: Yusuf Karamanli invited the leaders of Libyan tribe of Al-Jawazi to his castle in Benghazi, following a dispute regrading tribute and uprising against his rule. Consequently, the Pasha ordered the execution of all attendees and chasing down the other tribe members which resulted in massacring at least 10,000 people, who eventually sought refuge in the neighboring countries, especially in Egypt.
1824 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians: The Barbary pirates did not cease their operations, and another raid by the UK on Algiers took place in 1824.
1830 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians: France invaded Algiers, placing it under colonial rule.
1835 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians: Tripoli returned to direct Ottoman control.
1881 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians: Tunis was invaded by France.
1911 Barbary Slave Trade of Christians: Tripoli falls into Italian hands in the Italo-Turkish War. As such, the slave traders now found that they had to work in accordance with the laws of their governors, and could no longer look to self-regulation.

Yeah, no.
Abolishment of slavery goes back to centuries b.c.
Why are people always trying to make the world revolve around their own culture?
Yeah, maybe the word “first” is better changed to “eager.” Or simply of a religious conviction to stomp it out faster than any other group in history.

Why should I?
Did you seriously just post a 2hr youtube video to make your point?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_abolition_of_slavery_and_serfdom
Here you go. If you dislike Wikipedia, there are plenty of sources listed for you to check.
You just made my point for me.
Not at all. Plenty of the people listed abolished slavery precisely because of their religious beliefs.
Only after thousands of years and hundreds of centuries in the consolidation of militaries, nations and territories in those areas. Focusing on American slavery, while using another example of slavery is a political scheme to discredit America’s values, which is a straw man argument.

Lol. Correct the record, right?
The point, which you so clearly missed, is that we shouldn’t look to correct every offensive action in the world made by people who are long dead. It leads to a road where nothing is allowed bc pretty much everything is offensive to someone.
Belief is bondage to the false authority of another. How many are enslaved under the belief that money represents value?
Yep. Offer of fiction in exchange for consent to ignore reality. We are up against our own selfish ignorance to the point where a parasite systematically exploits it to the detriment of all, and they even offer themselves up as the boogeyman just so that we can keep shirking responsibility for ourselves.

not smart enough to understand
Comprehension (understanding) isn't about how quick (smart) one is, but if one chooses to not ignore the reality one perceives.
Start with this...are we within motion; is all existence within motion? If not; what isn't moving; constantly changing?
Also can we add information to reality without creating it out of the information reality offers us as inspiration?

IRONY: for millennia, waring tribes within africa enslaved captured enemies.

IRONY: for millennia, waring tribes within the middle east enslaved captured enemies.
etc, etc, etc.
Even in Europe, the same thing happened. The ottomans enslaved the Greeks and many other peoples in the balkans.
more Europeans were captured and sold into the barbary slave trade than were brought to the colonies. only 600,000 african slaves came to the united states. that is nothing compared to what went to brazil or all the Europeans taken into the barbary trade.
