A few years ago I was having lunch in Guangzhou China with a group of Chinese businessmen, they were saying how great American Businesses were. I ask them one question, If you had 1000 worker in your factory and you only had to provide them a cheap place to live and the cheapest of food where do you think your business would be in 10 years. All of them said that their business would be very successful, I told them that the reason that America is such a successful nation in business is because America had Slaves who worked for 400 years as free laborers. I went on to explain to them that, for 400 years the businessmen of America did not have any labor cost. You should have seen the expressions on their faces. I did not have to say anything else because they now knew the real history of American Capitalism.

"enslaved people" is self-serving euphemism, a transparent attempt to "soften" the harsh reality of slavery, and to make the slave owner feel a little better about themselves.

I'm a little mystified as to how such am obviously brilliant and erudite man could hold forth and publish on such a msssively tragic theme as slavery in America without mentioning the British Empire. The British Empire's "production line" method of enforcing a global system of economic hegemony relied on the slave system of the American south to furnish Britain's own abysmal factory system in order to send cheap textiles to India (where the cloth was finished into clothing) in exchange for opium which was forced into China, thus generating astronomical profits. These profits benefited the British people almost nothing but went into the vast coffers of Britain's banking oligarchs, as well as those of useful American banking elites who were subordinate to the British elites, as well as the cynical stakeholders comprising European aristocracy who even today outrank the British by a great deal. The British were emphatic and insistent about keeping the US economy exclusively backward, agrarian and slave-based. Even aster the Revolution, the British continued to enforce their will through infiltration of American politics and through a spectrum of thoroughly unwholesome tactics that led to the war of 1812 and the Civil War. It should be remembered that the British actively supported the South during the Civil War, providing ships, munitions, uniforms and rations. Slavery was the foundation of the British Empire, which was itself the preeminent prototype for today's globalism. There is virtually no distinction whatsoever. Even the same banking families and the same basic tactics carry over into today. Slavery, drugs and economic warfare are the pillars today even as they were the pillars of yesteryear.

I recently found the sales note of my family who were sold into slavery in the Mississippi delta in the early 1700’s. for around $33,000, which is 2 plus million dollars today. They were on that plantation until the mid 1900’s because they were too poor to move. They tried to do share cropping and we all know how that turned out. My grandfather was born and raised on that plantation and I am 64 years old. So, that is how close slavery is to me. My grandmother was an indigenous Indian woman by name and birth, but black by law, her husband, my grandfather was an Italian by way of Argentina. This is not a story by word of mouth, it is from actual documents. Make it make sense.

50% of all slaves sold in Africa indeed were criminals, and adultery was the principal crime. The others were prisoners captured in war or by slavers. Africans did not come to America as victims of the white man. They were captured, imprisoned, and enslaved or killed (the lucky ones were the slaves as the other half of the criminals got the only other sentence for crimes - death). Black animists and Muslims enslaved their own people in Africa and sold them to Muslims north of the Niger River and to other tribes in Africa and to traders from Europe and the Americas. The African slave was a victim of his own race, who enslaved him and then sold him. The international slave trade ended in 1808, but the last slaves came to the United States in 1860 the ship picked up its cargo in Africa, and the captain bought his goods by picking out his purchase from a pen holding 1000 Africans and he bought them from an African chief, long after the slave trade ended officially with Europeans and Americans, and there was a Slave Naval embargo imposed on the Africa coast.

The 1965 Great Society program, the war on poverty and the Civil Rights Act under LBJ was suppose to end racism, discrimination by increasing welfare, subsidized housings, food stamps, start of Medicaid and Head Start, seems to have had the opposite effect. Generations of African Americans have known no other way of life but government aid. Wonder if cash is the answer 🤔

I believe this is long overdue and vitally needed, however, just providing scholarships will not compensate for the crushing, irreparable damage done to African Americans over generations physically, psychologically, and financially infinitely. I suggest that not merely educating African Americans but provide free land, homes, counseling, and support to build up communities of their own which would help build self assteem, reassemble a great deal of the dignity and sense of family lost. Money is not only the solution but it's an important part as we live in a capitalist society in which most of us are left lacking the capital to survive generationally as a result of the capitalist system in America built and driven and sustained by the slavery of African Americans.

@tonjirucker999

Жыл бұрын

It's been said that enslaved people in the Caribbean and South America may have suffered the harshest pains with shorter lives in that they were worked sun-up to sun-up, using all human strength until an immenant death and regularly replaced with another shipment of bodies as needed. Many did not live beyond mid-twenties in age for men, or thier late-teens for women. The transport of enslaved people ended in those places before the US did. In the US, however, when the US was supposed to end transporting Africans, it did not. Then when they did, in order to keep a steady supply of enslaved they did atrocious things to keep a ongoing population. Longer lives were more valuable than short ones and RE-population was critical. Hence enslaved young women were forced to be impregnated and provide as many as 20 births (+/-) each by other unknown enslaved Africans or their captor. "American" slaves endured and relentlessly birthed a lifetime and legacy of suffering 400 years long. Conclusion: Whether six in one hand or a half dozen in another, both extremes uprooted millions of people scattered over the world for the wealth & pleasure of their captors. The sufferings of chattle slavery were the difference of a guaranteed personal fast death or a panoramic view of a miserable life of slow, deep suffering for you and everyone you knew.

This topic and the publication of scholarly book on the topic is very old. Black scholars as early as 1944 wrote extensively on the topic. In 1944 Eric Williams published Capitalism & Slavery which the host mentions; Manning Marble in the late 1970’s published How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America; and Walter Rodney in 1972 published similar on How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. These have been foundation books in Black Studies for at least fifty years. I appreciate the scholar doing work on the topic.

I did not feel that this presentation was helpful to the dialog taking place in the 21st century. He starts by saying that much of America’s prosperity was enabled by slaves. The economic growth of most of the states that stayed in the Union during the Civil War came from entrepreneurs and legal immigrants. In the slave holding states, aside from Delaware, most of the wealthy were slave holders. However, many of them were no longer wealthy after that war. This lecturer does not mention the huge price in lives paid by the Union states to fight against slavery. The number of Union dead may be over 400,000. He appears to call for reparations. That money would have to come from today’s taxpayers, who had no voice in the slavery issue. Their ancestors never benefitted from slavery. Mr. Baptist fails to note that most slave-produced cotton lost much of their market when Jefferson Davis withheld the southern cotton crop from England. Instead of entering the Civil War on the side of the south. Instead, England found that cotton grew well in India. Slavery was evil. No argument there. However, constantly revisiting the issue and argueing that white Americans should feel guilty or be punished for an evil that ended over 80 years before they were born. Also, like many of my ancestors, their ancestors did not live in America at that time.

@@keithranker3908 First off let me say that I have never, not once heard anyone say white people should feel guilty about slavery. That's just made up nonsense people use to argue against any true telling of the history of slavery. Anyone that feels guilt over something they did not due is an idiot. The reasons why we teach the historical role slavery played in this country, is the same reason we teach any history, to educate ourselves so we can continue to evolve as a species. The reason people push back and attack certain studies and teachings is very simple, they feel the idealized image they have been shown since birth and have come to identify with, actually has some defects. Some find that frightening. The history of this country that has been taught and ingrained into the fabric of our society has been one that is thoroughly scubbed of its stains. If you were anything other than a white male you did not exist in school books for most of this country's existance. Little by little people are gaining an understanding of the importance of acceptance. Each generation learns a bit more truth, and that knowledge is what leads to understanding and growth. There will always be some who will refuse to grow. They will claim something is bad because it may turn kids gay, or make them want to pray to Lucifer, or make them feel guilty, it's all just a way of covering your ears and saying nahnahnanahna.

You lady live in a society and profit from the wars the US wages all over the world for profit, I believe there's a lot of people in the world that you owe some reparation.

There was nothing free about institutional slavery in America. Many planters wished they could get out from under this system. In 1786 Virginia passed a manumission act that permitted slaves to remain in the state, contrary to Northern states that ran their freed slaves out of their states. This law retired slaves at 45 and the master had to maintain them for the rest of their lives with shelter, food, clothing, and medical care. Slavery was not free. It was a welfare burden upon the owner. Slaves approaching the retirement age had no incentive to leave the plantations and those in retirement had no reason whatsoever to leave, especially if it was the home of all their extended family and they were going to be cared for the rest of their lives. Slaves also had legal protections. The plantation was their home and where their families lived and had lived for generations. Freeing the slaves only shifted the welfare system which was financed and controlled privately, but which gave legal protections to slaves, and which got work out of people and created social order, into a public welfare system where many of these same folks today do nothing but exist and breed, produce no work, and are engaged in criminality. Moreover, the state now controls the welfare system by giving out food vouchers, housing, schooling, etc., which everyone has to pay for. This is all just a different form of slavery. The latter often led to slaves buying their own freedom, even owning slaves themselves, becoming capitalists, craftsmen, and merchants, and integrating into society naturally.

@@michelleharley2460 Most Southern owners felt that slavery was burdensome. In Virginia slaves at 45 years of age were retired and the master by law had to continue to maintain them in food, shelter, clothing, and medical care for the rest of their lives. Slavery was a private socialist state in which both the slaves and the masters had legal protections. Most slaves wanted to remain on plantations, where they were born, raised, and had families, and friends there, and it was their community in which they were comfortable. Eighty percent of slaves remained on the plantations and often the Yankee Army burned down their homes and killed their animals to run them off the plantations. This was a social system that was replaced with Federal socialism which was government-run, rather than private. This social slavery continues until today but at the expense of all Americans who foot the bill.

I've always felt that funds should go to education - not given in cash such as a lottery winnings which end up being lost.

Assets stolen are debts owed. Perfectly put. Wealth was stripped away, transferred and generationally inherited as they grew and the current inequalities grew with it.

Prof. Baptist from his extensive research offers a comprehensive accounting of capitalism plus evil. This man should have speaking engagements on every univ campus in America on this subject. Surely other white historians know this information but becuz of fragility and other reasons just aren't willing to share.

Not just universities but these subjects should be brought before the general public on a regular basis to break down racism on all levels. Ever notice that the racial violence generally starts among the less educated and because they assume history that is not accurate. Perhaps if the truth was generally known, they would not act in ignorance of the facts.

This is all extemely important, but let us not restrict our critical scholarship and judgment to the past. While the buying and selling or persons is outlawed today, the renting of persons is still endemic with us. I recently read that Abraham Lincoln thought a big difference between slavery and wage labor ws that the former is a permanent not a temporary condition. I myself always felt abused by being a "human resource" not a peer in civil discourse and cooperative endeavor in the domain of social production.

It Has Not Been Easy.", by Michael Powell. "In February 2021, Paul Rossi, a math teacher [at Grace Church School, an elite private school in Manhattan]... met with a white consultant, who displayed a slide that named supposed characteristics of white supremacy. These included individualism, worship of the written word and objectivity.' Mr. Rossi said he felt a twist in his stomach. 'Objectivity?' he told the consultant, according to a transcript. 'Human attributes are being reduced to racial traits.' 'As you look at this list', the consultant asked,' are you having "white feelings"?' 'What,' Mr. Rossi asked, 'makes a feeling "white"?' Some of the high school students then echoed his objections. 'I'm so exhausted with being reduced to my race,' a girl said. 'The first step of antiracism is to racialize every single dimension of my identity.'... A school official reprimanded Mr. Rossi, accusing him of 'creating a neurological imbalance' in students.... A few days later the head of school wrote a statement and directed teachers to read it aloud in classes: 'When someone breaches our professional norms... the response includes a warning in their permanent file that a further incident of unprofessional conduct could result in dismissal.' A sizable group of parents and teachers say the schools have taken it too far -- and enforced suffocating and destructive groupthink on students... [One parent], who notes that his heritage is a mix of Jewish, Mexican and Yaqui tribe, pulled his children out of Riverdale and created a foundation to argue against this sort of antiracist education. 'The insistence on teaching race consciousness is a fundamental shift into a sort of tribalism,' he said.... This conflict plays out amid the high peaks of American economic inequality. Tuition at many of New York's private schools hovers between $53,000 and $58,000, the most expensive tab in the nation. Many heads of school make between $580,000 to more than $1.1 million. .... Grace Church School offered [Mr. Rossi] a contract if he participated in 'restorative practices' for the supposed harm done to students of color."
