I would agree but maybe the revision of history is even worse. This is a great tune but I fear Jay Kay has simply swallowed the propaganda that his ancestry is shameful, it is on the contrary because he is an Englishman. Far from starting slavery 400 years ago (we didn't have slavery in England since about 1300 since William the conqueror made it illegal here and African tribes were always enslaving each other we just helped with some transportation) we are the country that emptied its own coffers to have it abolished against our own interests and only on moral grounds. It was the absence of it here and the industrial revolution that led to its abolishment and this was a practice in every country of the world, universally excepted that the victors would enslave the vanquished. We changed that, he should be proud.

@@Daveyboyz1978 Slavery wasn't practised in England but they allowed it for the longest while within its colonies. And any culture, creed, nation or ethnicity found guilty of owning slaves or have performed violent acts against their fellow humans in the name of superiority or creed should be ashamed of that particular action. You might also be thinking he is saying he is ashamed of the entirety of his lineage but seeing as how this is a song about the topic of superiority as well as some of its negative effects, he might instead be calling that the shame of his ancestry. Also, the most pivotal reason for the abolition of the slave trade was not the morality of the time but appealing to the pockets of the planters. They eventually reasoned that if the slaves were able to take care of their own expenses such as food, clothing and equipment they would make a profit. The revision of history is important it all depends upon how. It should be as unbiased as possible, as honest as possible and when we see the ills of the past we call them out for what they are.

@@drebeck2542 Not true. Because of the vaccuum of slavery in England (the one and only place it wasn't occurring) the church came to the moral position against slavery. This in turn influenced the congregation which then spurred political activity. Given how much it cost us to abolish (50 years patrolling the seas, thousands of trade deals where we stipulated the condition of anti-slavery and countless diplomatic missions) its simply not true to suggest economics was the cause. Having said that the fact that in the American civil war it was the non-slaver who emerged victorious rather goes to show that economically it was a flawed system. I am not saying that the transatlantic slave trade was not abhorant but it is only in the states that the idea of racial superiority existed to try and mitigate the "all men equal under god" thing... The reality is more white people have been enslaved than black people (though most died during castration and those who survived left no offspring) and Africa kept far more slaves than it sold (black people keeping black slaves) This racial narrative which applied to only 5% of slavery is unhelpful to human progress, better not to stoke historic resentment for one injustice while ignoring all others.

As I remember It was four hundred years or more Since you came to crucify And they were taken far away from home There were promises of paradise But if they had been told that day That they would be sold that this way To satisfy the souls of chosen men See I had to look carefully At the shame of my ancestry To redefine the storyline again.

So where has the love all gone A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale Of how I was put down where I don't belong Woman, child and man for sale For ethical slavery is just an absurdity How can you be alive when you are dead With these chains of hypocrisy The shame of my ancestry Forever stained by blood in which you tread.

Its a false narrative. JK is English and slavery was only about race because of the US constitution (all men are created equal needed to be offset by the myth of superiority to allow the practice of slavery) Slav comes from the word Slavic and the slavic people are white and were ruthlessly exploited as slaves until the Baltic region got itself together and started protecting them. Its only then that people turned to Africa who had been keeping their brothers and sisters. Their superiority was not based on colour but on military proficiency.

This is one of my TOP favorite songs from Jamiroquai. The lyrics itself give a power message that people don't see or choose to ignore. The song begins about Christ, his crucifixion, the disciples...the promises of paradise...to satisfy the souls of chosen men. Throughout the song, he paints the picture of the shame, loss of love (Matthew 24:12), and slavery along with the hypocrisy of it....wow he went deep. Upon Christ death on the CROSS, the blue was taking out of the sky (Matthew 27:45)....and in God's sovereignty....HIS DESTINY HAS AND WILL MANIFEST IN TIME (1 Peter 1:19-21).

What a dumb comment. More white people have been enslaved than black hence the word from SLAVIC. Africans had been enslaving each other since since time immemorial we just had ships which allowed export. The history of the white man is we had the practice abolished at personal expense, for 50 years we patrolled the seas and set them free and we campaigned to the rest of the world who didn't want to give it up, and ideed the middle east still hasn't entirely.
