This is a country in which you are sold trans fat french fries so that the restaurant could make an extra five cents a serving, while contributing to killing you. The sofa and fruit drinks so today are killing millions tens of millions maybe hundreds of millions. All because fructose is so much cheaper than sucrose or glucose. When that fructose gets into your liver it gets turned into fat. It doesn't come out and get used like glucose does. so then your fatty liver gives you hypertension and diabetes. And all your energy goes down the drain until you die.

There are still long standing tribal rivalries in Africa like those that led to the slave trade. The African slave trade still exists, as it has for a thousand years or more.

Tsunami FACTS

My father’s ancestors led wars against the British in Ghana. My mother’s ancestors were brought as slaves from the west coast of Africa to Jamaica . My people were possibly traders and traded. Painful legacy indeed but the story needs to be told.

"Africans selling other Africans" is just as insane as saying "humans selling other humans." These Africans were completely different nations of people and were just as different from each other as the Russians are from the Portuguese. That's the context we need to remember. Needless to say, it is never right to take someone's life and sell it to another. You get the right to live YOUR life and let other people live theirs, you don't have the right to live both your life and someone else's. So that is where this video got it right.

Looked for a place to comment: thank you. Over a year ago I heard this argument from another source - that the Africans who participated in the slave trade were a disparate people of different tribes and nations who often warred among themselves. They didn't see being dark-skinned as a unifying factor as we descendents of slaves in America do. I've chewed on that awhile. President-elect Biden recently named a Native American to be his incoming Secretary of the Interior. I'm sorry I don't recall her name at the moment but I believe she's currently a Representative from Arizona. I rejoiced to hear that news and wondered why the hell it took so long to appoint an Indian to oversee what was described as a "sprawling department that includes the Bureau of Indian Affairs." I bring this up because of the parallel. I believe the U.S. government still recognizes Native American tribes as nations. As with the Africans, many of these nations warred with each other and they didn't see their "red" skin as a unifying factor. But in America, African-Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian-Americans are minorities that more or less struggle to be accepted as Americans. In the 21st century. I'm not afraid of Hispanic Americans becoming the majority that makes minorities the majority in America and I don't think whites should be afraid either - but apparently they are. The problem that I see is that tribalism - which I now prefer to use instead of "racism" - that way of thinking - continues to keep us at each other's throats. And among all people, Black Americans are the most divided. We don't respect each other. I've examined myself and recognized where I have been hostile to my own people. I know a spectacular job has been done on black folk in America to keep us divided and easily manipulated. But it seems to me that we ought to examine ourselves and make an effort to respect each other and treat each other well regardless of how the prevailing culture deals with us. It's more than calling each other "brother" and "sister" - then later on shouting, "Yo mama!" We're all different and we won't always agree on how to move forward. But this bullying and backstabbing needs to end.

We're all brainwashed to believe otherwise, of course. But (a) the British ban on expansion was preserving Native American societies, most of which lived in freer societies than Americans ever would and (b) the end of the triangle slave trade would have been a great achievement for humanity. Nothing America accomplished surpassed those two things. And, of course, the destruction we caused to get where we are today is a grim reminder that empire is a terrible thing to root for.

It was only in 2015 that British tax payers finally paid off the bill for freeing all the slaves in the British colonies. The colonies in the Caribbean became tough independent people, with their own freedom. The narrator forgot, that we also took modern medicine and farming practices, trial by jury and democracy.

That said, I am struggling with viewing past enslavement and current unfair practices suffered by our people through the lens of "unequal exchange." What I have gathered is that the issue starts with not understanding our own true value as a people and not being acknowledged as an equivalent people by some others. Unequal exchange brings to mind my great grandfather. He was born a slave, freed with land after the Civil War, and then lost almost everything due to not being educated and Jim Crow practices. Yes, there was unequal exchange but I think it goes muh deeper. I appreciate your efforts and the dialogue you initiate because more of this is needed. Thank you

Keep in mind - most of the Africans sold off by other Africans ( that traveled West) - went to Central America, South America, and the Caribbean islands - not was is now known today as the U.S.A. And, most of the slave trade in the U.S.A - had taken place when that land mass was under British rule. About and/or before Africans were brought to the U.S. about 400K or 500K ish white Irish slaves were sold off to America (again, under British rule). England was ridding itself of the Irish. England was also ridding itself of millions of other white 'non-desirables' - thru the scheme of indentured servants (indentured is actually slavery) - and the 10s of 1,000s of white young kids rounded up from poor single mothers and orphanages and placed on slave ships - which is where the term "kidnapped" is derived. Lastly, for about 1,500 yrs Africans were sold off to the Muslim nations slave traders. If there is any reparations to be given, the payments should logically should begin with African countries who sold off Africans for 1,500 yrs to Muslim countries who purchased the African slaves. What ever is given to the approx 400K Africans brought to what America - under British rule - the bulk of the payment should be paid by England. And, what ever reparations that are given to Americans of African descendants - must be given to the white Irish descendants of slaves - and the white descendants of indentured servants.

This clown is why Africans should hold each other accountable. Misconception: 'They' sold 'us' as slaves. The Atlantic S T ain't so clear cut where ur either a victim or victimiser it's more complex. African kings/rulers viewed those they sold as debtors or captives from tribal warfare, not as fellow Africans. Humans beings had become commodities this caused insecurity amongst groups which were once harmonious. Supply and demand of people was massive. So slavery became a motivation for war as it strengthened kingdoms in the short term. So other kingdoms defended themselves with European weapons which they bought with slaves. + Slavers who made bad deals with e.g Portuguese and couldn't supply slaves, we're captured and sold themselves. I'm Liberian but peoples great grandparents were on American plantation. 'you' sold 'us' is short-sighted and inaccurate.

Damn that makes me sick to my stomach.

I found this video to be deeply profound. It provided some context to Black Americans UNIFYING and why WE NEED TO. I was almost among the ones that wanted to avoid this video simply because of the title. My initial comment was exactly what you addressed in the video and I’m so glad that you did! It absolutely does matter what our ancestors sold other ancestors for. Hopefully we move towards a stronger sense of VALUE for each other and our contributions to the present society. I was never upset with CUBE because I understood his goal and what he means to our culture! If not him then who??

I wish this was longer 😩

Half empty: they enslaved and sold your people for guns and cloth Half full:You guys lucked out because at least you aren’t in Africa

Job well done!!! My team, THE HOME TEAM!! Peace

I would say “may be” that’s a huge understatement

Good work , even where I hold different opinions. Unfortunately we , in Africa and abroad are failing. It is sad but true and we need to understand it in order to change it.

After Britain made slavery illegal between 1817-1833 and deployed Royal naval fleets off the West coast of Africa over a 60 year period to suppress and arrest slave ships in the Atlantic then the African slavers simply moved to the East coast ports to sell slaves to India and the far East. Even in the present day Pakistan is considered to have the third largest slave population in the world.

I lived in Mauritania for about a year and that’s when I really saw racism. The Atlantic slave trade is just a small part of slavery that is still going on today. If I Trace my roots back to 1865 it’s all in Europe so what does slavery have to do with me. Some blacks today could trace their roots back to slave owners so should they be blamed in anyway. Let’s just be better then prior generations.

You seem to always come in the right moment to hear the right words.

HomeTeam History; many explanation I have run across here on you tube (as to Africans selling our ancestor to Whites) does a very poor job of doing that; meaning most are just misnomers of the facts! Unfortunately this video falls into that category. Yes, their were many African nations who did sell us into slavery but not the slavery you know today! First; Africa like other continents are not monolithic. They have conflicts against one another just like everyone else. For example; prior to WWI Germany and Britain were consider the same people just like the Japanese and Chinese! With that said whites/Europeans did try to steal/capture Africans! However, our ancestors kick their butts so it became to costly for them (resources as well as lives) to pursue. So they started buying capture warriors (with weapons,tobacco,liquor and gold) from these warring nations not because they wanted to because their previous attempts to steal/capture Africans failed. Before the whites started buying these warriors most of them would be sacrificed by the kings of that nation! WHY?! Because these African nations/Kings did not want to take care of these warriors; it would cost them too much money and time integrating them into their nations so they would kill them instead. So quiet naturally the Europeans escalated the conflicts between these warring nations knowing they would get to buy the capture ones. This was made known in the Slave Trade Debates of England in 1806 which they said: "All the old writers concur in stating not only that wars are entered into for the sole purpose of making slaves, but that they are fomented by Europeans, with a view to that object." Prior to 1609 chattel slavery did not exists any where on this planet! Why is this important?! The most common form of slavery was domestic servants. The other forms were Debt slavery, enslavement of war captives, military slavery, slavery for prostitution, and criminal slavery. Slaves around the world before 1609 were seen as people! HUMAN BEINGS! It was white Christians who came up with chattel slavery! Meaning you were no different than cows, chickens etc.. and anything they produce belong to the owner this includes their offspring! That why I said this is a misnomer because these African nations had no ideal what was going to happen because their form of slavery was completely different from the Europeans. That’s why slavery in the western world had to be abolished. Where as in the rest of the world once that person died all his debt or other obligations died with him. Sorry for being so long winded but we need to know what was really going on at that time that includes those African nations that fought against slave dealers! One who stands out is King Yambio of the Azande in Southern Sudan. As to those African nations who sold our ancestors. Most saw this as mercy and was not consciously aware of what the Europeans was doing in the beginning. But when things did become known enough blood had been shed were the kings of these warring nation did not care what happen when they sold our ancestors. As long as they could get weapons better than their combatants they were content. Kinda like the Bloods and Crips!! They too are at or once was at war with each other. Feel and look a bit different when put in that context, Right! ADOS/African American, Black etc... we have our own history that we must learn and share and this is certainly one of them. What we don't want to do is tell our story in a way that makes us want to return to them as they did to us! The current state of Africa and its diaspora shows that we can't afford to make that mistake again!

@@fgsf9 That's impossible! One has to know the facts to understand any context.

The items received may not be inconsequential to us, but it was to the ones doing the selling. These were mostly prisoners of tribal wars, as long as they were gone, it didn't matter what was received in return. So it may seem ludicrous that a human being was traded for a jar, but you have to realize, they would have given them away for free.

The biggest con on any people is to tell them they are better off without their children. It’s no coincidence that the first abortion clinics were set up in poor black neighborhoods

Home team can you do a videos on certain regions like South America Jamaica Haiti Southern United States and just tell stories and tales from those regions I'd really like that Id pay for it actually

As a white I don’t know much about African history however, I believe that Africa was based on more ancient tribalism and the survival of the fittest tribe. Therefore the main goal of the tribe was to get rid of or destroy their enemy tribes. So previously they killed them and giving the opportunity to sell them to foreigners as slaves that accomplished the same goal of getting rid of their enemies. I suppose that this was the main goal as to being doing it for financial gain.

It was. I find it odd that certain people bitch about white Europeans coming along ruining the peaceful Utopia of knowledge and harmony of Africa but ignore obvious history that shows what the rulers in Africa were doing is the same thing that European rulers were doing. But one is virtuous and the other is despicable. Even a cursory glance of African history shows this. Look at the Zulus. Just before the British came along and conquered them the Zulu had just done the same to their neighbors. Same with the Mali empire. They doubled their territory at the expense of their neighbors so they could control Timbuktu the major trade hub and other areas for trade goods including slaves. And this was before Europeans were invading Africa.

My Brother, our people must realize that as a community we continue to trade more for less. Our people have destroyed our progeny through abortion and addiction. Many of our youth have embraced ignorance and foolishness over knowledge and independence. Today, we can be seen in the streets claiming to be victims, when the opportunities for Black success are right in our hands and minds. Brothers and Sisters treat one another like beasts, and then get offended when they receive similar treatment from others. I am glad that you post information such as this, because it forces one to look inside... Blessings, Peace and Strength to you and yours!

I went to Dakar, Senegal in 2000. There is where I saw the island were they traded the slaves...as was told to me by the natives. Thanks for letting people know. It is alot more complex than we can understand. Trading humans is really negative for everyone.⚓✌

You know this is something I always wonder myself?🤔🤨

My tribe got gold and meat, and that's how we moved to America in 1910

No more trade! Self-Reliance! Africans build for Africans, world wide! One people, one nation!
