Part of the discomfort is also cognitive dissonance. New contradictory information unmoores from certainty and you are floating in uncertainty while your mind is trying to figure out what is up or down and whitch way to go to get back to a place where you can be sure of what you know. Ideally you will have encounter this feeling many times in your life to a small degree. It means you are learning something more intricate about a subject or you are trying to learn something that is just beyond your current skill. But when you have been shielded from reality or having to try something new, and a bit scary, all your life and get thrown in that the "deep end", so to speak. Well you run a serious risk of just rejecting the new information or challenge, to stay safe. Or even worse I think you might run the risk of a psychotic break. I think this is happening incredibly regularly these days when people are confronted with the demands and challenges of life. Becasue they have been sheltered from "safe" challenges and many of those "safe" challenges dont even exist anymore. And at the same time they have also been sheltered from (denied) dificult knowledge or directly mislead to think things are one way, when they might be another.

It's true. The transatlantic slave trade, where European slave traders took slaves from Africa to America, was indeed a trade in all countries involved. African leaders quickly realised that they could benefit from this continuing need for slaves and so they had slaves, taken in tribal wars, etc, ready and waiting in cages near the beaches waiting for the slave ships to arrive, who were then traded for European goods. That saved the traders vital time and kept them free of malaria and other risks involved in going into the interior and taking slaves themselves..

"The first 'slaves' in the New World were white Irish children." False. The first slaves in the New World were Indigenous natives....as were their slave masters. We know that because the first European explorers first encountered tribal cultures that already practiced slavery, by capturing and enslaving their Indigenous neighbors in the Caribbean and Central America. As to the Irish, that's demonstrably false for a variety of practical reasons, not the least of which because unfree Irish (mostly adults captured in conflicts and convicted of rebellion against the English) were not being shipped to the New World sugar colonies until the 17th century.....while Spanish and Portuguese New World colonies were already using Indigenous and African slaves in the 16th century.

Just came across this video in my KZread feed, and wanted to take a few minutes to comment. 1. Its very nice to see a young man trying to figure out "Truths'" vs "Fiction" for himself. That is AWESOME!! 2. Much of this information presented here was from one of the Great "Thinkers" of our time. Thomas Sowell. Mr Sowell went to Harvard, Columbia and the University of Chicago. Not to mention being on Faculties at Cornell, Amherst, Brandeis and UCLA, not to mention Stanford. 3. You asked why didn't I learn this in school? Why is there a narrative? Think about this very closely. Look at all that has happened over the past 100 yrs in the USA (used as an example). Would the NAACP, BLM, etc even be around if certain "Truths" were actually taught in schools? I once heard someone say many years ago "Follow The Money". 4. Lastly, for all these "Truths" that people like Thomas Sowell provide not only with historical facts, but show evidence and documentation of said facts get labelled as an "Uncle Tom". The ones that call people like Thomas Sowell an "Uncle Tom" are being part of the Problem to why prejudice, hate and discrimination still exist in this country. They are NOT being part of the SOLUTION. The Truth hurts sometimes. Hope you have the strength to push the Truth to your fellow friends and family. Maybe then, people will open their eyes and change and healing can actually happen. GOD Bless You All. 🙏

I am 70 and when I went to school I was taught to find information I needed. Today you are living in a world where information is so easily available that I do not know why people just automatically believe what they are told. I was taught to question the source when at school. I am not saying that I found everything, but I also did not just believe what I was told because a teacher said it. To back up information I had to find where that information came from and decide if it was reliable. As I got older I started to look at why a person would give me this misinformation and their motives. My first two questions when I get new information now is "WHY DID YOU TELL ME THAT" and "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT INFORMATION FROM". I applaud you for searching, as so many people just believe the lies and are manipulated by other people agendas.

Some sort of reverse reparations, I guess. 😒 In spite of slavery being abolished in England (and its territories), British slave ships went on unimpeded trading slaves for sugar and cotton in the Americas and Western Australia until 1865 (the end of the American Civil War). Also, indentured servitude and transportation continued well into the early 20th century. In fact, one of the reasons the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Lincoln was to keep Britian out of the war when the price of cotton the Brits were getting from the southern states skyrocketed. But it turned out not to be a problem because they began growing cotton in their other territories. The sub-continent and Indochina which they enslaved... oops no, I mean "gently occupied" until the British Raj was dissolved IN 1945!!! So yes!

Today’s slavery has transformed from physical ownership of humans to economic ownership of others. There is still physical slavery, but as part of our total pop, it is less than 1%. The strong still enslave the weak in an economic sense on a much broader and deeper scale. I am not sure it can be remedied other than to educate the weak and help them obtain skills to reduce their reliance on the strong to provide goods and services that seem necessary.

I remember in 1990-1991 I was in the 4th grade we had a substitute teacher. She was a nice old black lady from the south. She told us “the school history books don’t tell u everything. That back in the days blacks in the south fought in the civil war to keep slavery around.” She was there for one day & we never got to see her again after that. She told us almost everything that was said in that video & I never forgot. But I felt like it was something that was never to b told for reasons

“They are just brainwashing me at that point.” Good job young man, that’s the most valuable thing you learned today.

It is true. I am an African. Tribalism is real. Color has nothing to do with one tribe hating or persecuting another. The tribe next to ours is called "crazy" in our language, because they would sell their children as slaves to our tribe for salt (that we still harvest to this day) in the olden days. Thankfully children are not sold for salt anymore. However, it is well known that slavery, at least in Africa, was first and foremost done by Africans to Africans long before white men appeared. This is a fact.

The video he was watching was pushing its own narrative as well. It acts as if Europeans were just innocent bystanders who treated everyone with respect, and it was only Africans that tortured and traumatized slaves. This obviously ignores the true and horrendous way Europeans treated slaves after they arrived in America and long after the slave trade from Africa ended. I'm not even sure what he was getting at near the end, but pretty much every country ended slavery with an abolition movement. America was only unique in that it resulted in a war. And that's mostly because the South still benefited greatly from Slavery while the North did not, but the North took it upon themselves as a moral issue. But let's be frank, The fact that it took thousands of years to abolish human ownership of humans is despicable. It doesn't matter who owned who, people should have risen up to fight against slavery long long long before the 18th and 19th centuries. Another narrative, racism is a sentiment that arose from and outlasted slavery. This ignores all the other forms of racism than just against African Americans. Look at antisemitism... in every time and culture, outrage over Latin asylum seekers lately, 19th century hatred of Chinese and breaking of Native American treaties, even Italians and Irish in were hated at one time in the US. Racism is the mental justification of our animalistic fear of people who look, talk, and act differently than what we are used to. Demagogues use this to manipulate people into supporting them politically. Racism was used to justify slavery, not the other way around. It's still used today (not for slavery). Basically, from what I can tell, the purpose of this video (or at least the way most people seem to be interpreting it in the comments) is to convince everyone that Racism isn't real anymore, the legacy isn't harmful anymore, there is no systemic preference to one race over another, and any efforts to correct the disparity between races is misguided and ignorant SJW nonsense... So take this whole video with a grain of salt too (just as you do your education) because there are real problems with how Black people are treated in the United States today and they can't be fixed by pretending they don't exist.

@@asleepappeal You are wrong, but it’s your right to being wrong. First of all this video is objectively showing the facts. It was mentioned that slavery was at some point almost everywhere in the world, also in Europe. But slavery was not based on race. I’m Slavic European and even the term slave originated from the name of my ethnic group which is as white and European as you can be. Bad treatment of slaves accrued sometimes, also in Europe and in western civilization in general, but it was extremely rare. Usually slaves were treated good because they costed a lot and they were useful only when in good shape. From today’s perspective it might look bad that someone might be someone else’s possession, but the truth is that life of slaves in for example United States were usually better than their life back home in Africa. Another thing you are wrong about is that you confuse racism with xenophobia. Sometimes even with prejudice, generalization and even with simple precaution. I have impression that in today’s western civilization the only racism that left is directed towards white people. It is hard to find any white or asian people that would care about the race or skin color, but there is plenty black people that anything they talk about is the race and skin color. There are special places only for black people, schools only for black people, they are given more points at the start in some recruitment procedures also in some universities. They are privileged group based solely on their race/ skin color. If that’s not racism than there’s no such thing as racism at all.

@@figofagonagoitis I don't deny that the majority of the video is telling truths. I said it has a narrative, and my point is that it framed these truths in such a way as to further that narrative. In so doing it obscures or demotes other truths. Perhaps some slaves were treated well, sure. Most slaves were treated poorly, and some very horrifically. That goes for all slaves through all time not just African slaves in recent times. It's well documented, but maybe you didn't learn that because "they" don't want you to know the truth... [Edit: I'm being sarcastic to make a point about how silly it is that people think this video shows some profound truths that the powers that be want to hide from you. I knew all of this, most people I know knew all of this, and most people in the comments knew all of this. I reread it and it came of as very insulting and that wasn't my intention.] As for modern system racism, I'll just say that I didn't believe it either (growing up in rural white America), until I educated myself with the facts.

One of the things you learn as a history major is that there is so much information that it has no meaning in isolation. EVERY historian has to interpret to some degree. EVERY historian "creates a narrative". The best historians create a narrative that is closer to objective truth, whatever that is. And every historian is a product of his own time, creating an interpretation that has some meaning to his audience. Ideally, history informs the present, and allows us to make wise decisions about our actions today that have consequences in the future. History that we do not perceive as relevant to the problems that we face today is often ignored, sometimes to our peril.

"facts" are biased too - "don't trust your school books or teachers - the first got copied from older books and the latter are just repeating the old stuff, they learned as pupils" was a disillusioned opinion of an author born in 1899. BUT he could never imagine that NEW learning materials would just omit all the established knowledge. Humans can do terrible things to each other - slavery is somewhat "kinder" than outright killing. You could sell yourself or your family into slavery to pay for your debts.

The problem with history is there's so much of it. You simply can't teach everything. Historians go on to get PhDs focusing on ONE ASPECT of history. You could spend 12 years in primary school learning all about the slave trade and not only not get every detail, but you'd not learn any other history at all. I'm not saying they've done a great job, but schools have to narrow down their focus, and Americans don't learn much about European slavery because we're Americans, and they teach what's more relevant. But yes, they could have a section in history class on slavery, spend 90% on American slavery, and just one or two classes on this kind of thing, too.

He is on a horrible path if he thinks that this presentationis "information" an dnot the best example of (pseudo)historians having an agenda. And history is asking questions that lead to a narrative..like Why did people do X or how we look at X what caused X? Whose fault was X? What effect did X had on Y? So..its almost impossible to teach history without framing it in some form of narrative...because dealing with raw data (the thing that historians do every day) makes normal people fall asleep before you can count to ten...and the amount would require schools to only teach history. So for pure practical reasons you sort out. It is good to look at different narraratives to get the whole story..but those who present themselves as some form of hidden truth are usually the ones most driven by agendas.

A hundred years ago, a kind of slavery was still present in the Netherlands due to the large class difference. As a day laborer you were kind of the property of Big Farmers, large land owners and sometimes nobility. You saw this a lot in the eastern part of our country. My father experienced having to sit at the back of class and church because he came from a certain environment (this was around 1955).

My wife is from the Balkan region, which comprises countries along the Balkan mountain range, she gets really angry and upset when people come at her about slavery and tell her she has white privilege/should be ashamed of her ancestors actions etc. People in the Balkans would throw their children off cliffs and down wells then jump themselves to avoid being captured by the Ottomans. Slavery is a crime against humanity not a single race and no race has the right to claim sole victim status, all are guilty of it's practice and all have fallen victim to it. Sadly this is just one topic that the US education system has corrupted and manipulated to cause division and tension. From everything I see in the media the US loves to pretend everything is binary, black and white, us vs them, ironically, with the sole exception of gender and even that exists purely to fuel division. Nothing in history is black and white, even in terrible times like WW2 there were victims on all sides, aggressors on all sides, criminals and murderers everywhere. Recorded history is painted by the victor, the subject of history is meant to take the accounts of all sides and find something closer to the truth. It is never 100% accurate because all sides believe in their own narrative, understanding that is the first thing we learned in History class (not in the US). History is subject to change as new information disproves old. A true historian must be flexible and willing to accept an ever changing narrative that must not be shaped to align to your own. I would not want my kid going to school in the US. The narratives are ALL skewed and designed to cause polarization, division and resentment between different groups. I find it tragic that so few people inside the US can see they are being manipulated. In a time when we all need to come together, build on common ground and work toward a better future the US seems to be doing everything it can to spread division, resentment and hatred. Instead of finding common ground and standing up for causes that benefit everyone these groups fight for supremacy over their opposition and benefit no one, not even themselves. Self destructive fanaticism reigns.

Brother, always keep in mind that the education system ONLY teaches those facts they want you to know, not the reality of the matter.

Because if you hear the truth, you won't buy the liberal lies. And if blacks don't buy the liberal lies, they are of no use to Democrats or liberals. You're welcome.

Welcome to the road called "Think for Yourself." Thomas Sowell is a great place to start your journey to academic honesty.

Really appreciate your channel in my continued pursuit of the further education of myself on the truth of history and not solely believing everything we're taught and brainwashed with in our current educational systems. Thanks for all your effort in furthering our knowledge on the truth!

This is history that should be taught. This is what they don't want anyone to know. Knowledge is power, and that is what they don't want us to have.

Kudos to this young man who dives deeper for a truth about slavery. These are the sort of people we need running the country. He will go far.

I'm 59, white British and the way I was taught history at school was abysmal. We spent years "learning" about the Tudors and very little else. Nearly all of us found history boring. Looking back, we couldn't relate to kings and queens, explorers finding potatoes and cloaks on puddles. We never learned anything to do with the common people. The lives and struggles of the lower classes, the ancestors of most of us, were simply ignored. I've always said that I learned far more history from television than I ever did at school.

@@alistairmilton6007 I don't want to cast any shade on the deserved credit the British and the Royal Navy get for their role in ending both the slave trade and slavery within their borders, but it didn't happen before the US thought about banning slavery. Many US states had banned slavery within their own borders before the constitutional convention which created the current US Constitution (which took effect in 1789), and slavery was behind many of the most contentious parts of the deliberations of the convention. The constitution itself prohibited Congress from restricting the states from participating in the international slave trade before 1808, but a law was passed in 1807 (taking effect on January 1st, 1808, the first day allowed) which did just that. This was clearly in line with the intent of most of the framers of the Constitution, and was pushed forward by the then president, Thomas Jefferson, a Virginian. Compare with the British Slave Trade Act of 1807 which was the basis for Royal Navy interdiction of the international slave trade - the British did get there first, but only just, and definitely not before the US thought about it. As for abolishing slavery within their own borders, Britain didn't get there entirely until 1833. That's well before the US achieved it within their borders, but again not at all before the US thought about it - slavery was a huge issue within the United States from its very beginning clear up until the end of the US Civil War (which really was primarily about slavery, despite the fact that there were other issues involved and that each side of the conflict had good reasons to downplay the importance of slavery).

US help stop slavery in the US, the British helped end the tade in slaves globally. Also slavery was all but banned just after 1066 in England. I think it was made official 600 years on with a defining court case that stated any slave that enter Britain, is no longer a slave. Also I'm the 1806 when the Navy started the slave project the government borrowed a lot of money that wasn't fully paid back untill 2006. So almost anyone that is alive say over 35 has paid towards that project ​in taxes. And some say reparations should be paid.they paid already they paid for 200 years. Also if you believe reparations should be paid, the reparations should be paid by the slave catchers family to the families of the slaves. Though I don't know why today's generation needs to pay for their ancestors ills and to the offspring (or family) of today, that never endured any ills @@hkpew

Britisher were the biggest slave owners.... under the crown lot more countries were forced into forced labor and harsh conditions. So your claim of 2600 British Sailors died fighting slave trade does not make any sense.

I learned much of this in high school in the early 1980s. I don't know what happened to our schools not teaching history, but I can tell you that my grandfather, who was very well read and researched everything, always said that socialism and communism would only be able to infiltrate democracy through the education system. He could see changes happening when my uncle was in college. I didn't get it then, but I do now! Divide the people, make them dependent on the government, slowly take away freedom. Sound familiar?

I learned much of this in high school in the 70s. While the US is staying in the middle, the two choices for which direction to move in are toward oligarchy and recreating the Guilded Age, or toward socialism. One party wants to cut medicare and social security, the other party wants to expand them. On party consistently reduces taxes on the rich, the other party want to increase taxes on those making over $1M/yr. One party historically runs up the debt more. Look at debt increases during Republican Presidents vs Democratic Presidents. The last time the debt went down was under Clinton, and one of Bush's first actions was to cut taxes "to increase the debt". One party want to increase handout for large corporations, the other wants to increase protections for workers and unions. One party wants to make it hard for small businesses to provide health insurance to employees and also wants to keep health insurance tied to corporations. The other party wants to make health care universal and has already provided a way for people who are not corporate employees to get health insurance. One party wants to keep employees with sick relatives locked into their current corporate employer, the other party already passed laws requiring insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. Reagan implemented free health care for all by dictating that hospital emergency rooms can't turn anyone away. The Democrats want to get rid of the greedy insurance companies, make health care available for all citizens, and spread the cost fairly. Do you want to be dependent on government, or on corporations and oligarchs? John Steinbach and Upton Sinclair wrote many books about the horrors of business owners having complete contol over employee's lives. The song "You load 15 tons, what do you get" is another story from that era. We've had corporate control during the Giulded Era. It didn't work out for us and we should stop trying to go back.

Aww you’re such a nice boy, I just want to give you a hug. It was obvious how uncomfortable and hurt you were while watching this. History is a difficult and sometimes painful thing to learn about but those who don’t learn about history are doomed to repeat it. I’m proud of you for being willing to listen to this and do your own independent research about it. You’re going to go far in life, what a lovely young man ❤

“Why can’t they just give me the information/facts and let me create my own narrative?” Such a wise question! You ask it about school and I ask it about the media/news outlet. I admire you. Keep inquiring and fact-checking. We all should.💙🇺🇸

One thing I've learned by studying history: Reality is NEVER as simple as the narratives most people accept. It's always much more detailed and complex.
