Who said he was a slave?

@@Adam-lw5mr it's theorised by Thomas Lockley that he was a slave as a child and used a military slave before earning his freedom by Italian Jesuit missionary Valignano and became his bodyguard as they travelled to Japan to spread western religious beliefs. Both of which (slavering of african americans and spreading western reglions) were common practices at the time He was also likely a slave of the Portuguese captain sailing the ship to Japan, according to Histoire ecclésiastique des isles et royaumes du Japon, written by Jesuit priest François Solier of the Society of Jesus in 1627. Essentially whilst not said, there's several strong possibilities he was a slave at some point in his life.

am i the only one as yass-ke ?

@@liyuevanmoon8046 huh?

Bro died for his master on his own terms

I belive there's an anime based on this story

Anime on Netflix

​@@AutumnOwlex ahhh what's it called?

@@nilladrawsstuff yasuke But... it has magic, mechs, you know, classic anime stuff.

@@nilladrawsstuff it’s called “yasuke” pretty straight forwards tbh

How is that?

@@killerqueeenie I keep hearing about how asians don't like dark skin, something about beauty standards or actual racism. That's what people say anyway. I think they're very pretty though 👉👈

@@theeskrunglyyea, I’m Asian and my grandparents are really racist. My parents less but still. My mom told me that when she was going on the plane to her English boarding school, my grandma said “Don’t get a black or Indian boyfriend” in Cantonese (our first language) And my mom hates Filipinos for some reason

I’m Asian from India and my parents and grandparents really don’t care, it must be Eastern Asia that’s like that

​@@Ostralucia gah damn your mom hates me lol

Wow

Sounds awesome

I was about to write this. The idea and concept art for this parade was made by Jorge Silveira. The samba school name is Mocidade Alegre.

damn, now i feel bad for not watching any of the parades this year and basicaly just sleeping the whole extended holiday... they always have some amazing stuff

Wait really?? I regret only watching Rio’s carnaval, I need to go see this!

At the 1500's we can't really make a distinction between Italians and (West European) Christians, which is most likely the type of christians to take part in this story, but yet, this man was oddly well travelled and cultured for his time

The past wasn't as disconnected as people think

​@@Aki-47. In a broad way sure there was more contact than many people realize, but the fact remains true that the vast majority of people through most of post-agriculture history never got to see anything beyond a few miles from where they were born. This guy's level of travel was definitely unusual.

Yeah.

I think he’s trying to be respectful but having a black Person speak on black history

@@chosenone9434 absolutely agree

i like scotts voice too but there are plenty of videos where he talks. i think its cool of him to share someone else's voice on this subject. plus this guy's voice is practically angelic

I like this voice too, i find no problem with it

I think math might be a little more important than Yasuke the Black Samurai. Still history is fun and you should look more into the countless history channels on youtube!

​@@Maarten-Nauta yh lol, it was a joke ofc but i get what u mean! My schools history isnt the best so this helps me!! Anyways yh it was a joke lolll haha!!

​@@Maarten-Nauta screw math, i want to know everything about this guy

​@@slimetank394 😆

​@@Maarten-Nauta screw math, all my homies hate maths

We're also unsure of his ending. While the story told in the short seems to be the most believed, most people say that he was not sold back to the christians but stripped of his sword and armor and left to roam Japan like a ronin (which at the time was basically being homeless and poor). Other say he became a pirate, which sounds metal AF.

IIRC it is a title that can be given by the Shogun

It is rather odd. People are weird when it comes to new or different things or people. The Indigenous tribes of the Americas used to dye the skin and hair of captured Europeans using black walnut juice so they'd blend in with the tribe more, even though they were often fascinated by the low pigmentation in eyes, skin, and hair. Other places, like Korea or Japan, light skin is the beauty standard and some people use lightening creams to try and make their skin whiter, while in Canada and the US we're using self tanner to try and make our skin darker. Fun fact: melanin helps to protect against radiation, meaning the darker your skin is the less your risk of skin cancer is. Apparently sun burn risk is also lower, but I've worked with people who burn as much as me while having much darker skin than me, so I'm not sure about that one.

@sanityssakearts1416 yeah, I do know all of this stuff and I've only been sun burnt once and it was barley noticeable lol.

Also adore how you integrate messages and lessons into your shorts

Yay. Congratulations!

@@ssavaart thank you :D

This makes me so happy. ♥

*third 😅 but youre right about him being such an amazing artist

Thanks for subbing!

Yay!!! Thanks for replying

There is an anime but it's very far from the real story.

@@emilyeden_writes funny enough, i Googled yasuke a few hours after commenting this and i wish i knew about the already existing anime earlier Need to watch it soon
