It's amazing that George Washington's house, brother, and history of Barbados are not taught, or referred to in American History.. And that we as Americans aren't taught these things, in their reality.

I pray we can reconcile the evils of the past and acknowledge the damage done and promote healing through dignity and respect.

It's shocking to me how little we change, how little we learn, over such long periods of time filled with such horrific violence against each other.

David is a really great actor.. And he's totally right about how it's empowered racism.

Black/African people are the strongest 🙌🏿 people on the face of this earth 🌎

I am still baffled at how slaves were historically documented as treated worse than animals

Loved him in Blood Diamond as the villainous Captain Poison.

Thank you

Who owned the Boats and Auctions?

Mauritania didnt make slavery illegal until 2007,,same year iphone was invented ,

Don't forget slaves hands were tied behind their backs on the ship

Man has the same last name as me lol

Lord have mercy!!!

The ones that made money on this build magnificent structures and statues that still stand today

Who owned the boats and banks? John Newton. Barclay's. Bank of Scotland, to name a few.

This is the past of which can consider those who have behaved that ways were in error. The problem is when nowadays in the framework of a parliamentary cooperation between the continent of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific in one side and the European Union in the other side, where each side has its chief negotiator. In other words, the European Union has its chief negotiator and the countries of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific have a chief negotiator and that their chief negotiator is a representative of a 60-year-old bloody and dynastic tyranny in West Africa, Togo and when the Caribbean, Africa, the Pacific refer this past, it is absolutely sad and disappointing that even nowadays the minds still believe that when it comes to Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, authoritarian, brutal rulers are appropriate. This is why among nations it is the 60-year-old dynastic and bloody tyranny in West Africa that must be the chief negotiator for all these other nations. It is terrible.

400 years ago things were absolutely crazy! So glad things are not like that now.

Evil. Absolute power?

I love him on Supergirl

Richard Drax........

The black people in America wondering about where they came from looking at England and British people like 😐😑😒

Jeremy Drax, brother of Richard Drax, is listed in Epstein’s ‘Little Black Book’.

I like Kim on Supergirl

And the worst for these poor people must have been that they were captured and sold by their own people. A double trauma as who can you trust if not your own people and they betrayed you! Reparations won't work as all the people involved are long gone and who is supposed to pay from the African side? Forgiveness only can bring permanent change.

I am curious as to why the English/British will separate themselves from Americans enslavers

Can,t work out how these people arnt talking about the 600,000 people currently IN SLAVERY NOW ,in Africa, DO they really care or NOT,,lets talk about current slavery , Or shall i go into how as a woman im still traumatised by the witch burnings of the church ..millions burnt for useing herbs to heal and delivering babies ,,

Reperations are due and will come

How many of the wealthy and average people today would own another person if legal? It doesn’t matter the race b/c mankind is self serving at the core! Which is why slavery is a universal history, present practice in some places even among Africans and still has legs for future economics/politics. It’s wasn’t an English invention…slavery has existed far before the English among the Arabs, the Ishmaelites, the Israelites documented biblically before that. There will always be good masters and evil masters as long as mankind falls under those two categories. It’s easy to judge the past. The desensitization of the present generation is likely to lead to greater atrocities in the future. Current culture doesn’t need to classify other races as beasts to desire to enslave them. It seems all that is needed is to feel justified by vengeance upon descents or deem others stance on vaccines, politics, etc. worthy of controlling ones livelihood and resources. Could this be the start of the same hatred and evil repackaged and legalized? Us vs Them mentality destroys unity and allows for consciences to be seared when it comes to the lives of “them”. We already have a society that values property over human life. An intruder, thief and trespassers deserves death in the eyes of most. The present really isn’t any better than the past just inhuman in different legalized ways. Eh, nothing new under the sun.

Enjoy your sugar

Wow cool

It’s so common to hear Westerners accuse China of “slavery”, “genocide”, “colonialism”. But the reality is that nothing China has done remotely approaches the horror of real slavery, real genocide, and real colonialism. Applying these labels to China is doing injustice to the victims of real slavery, real genocide and real colonialism. It dilutes the horror of the actions that Western “civilisation” has historically inflicted on non-Westerners. I wish people like Nancy Peolosi, Justin Trudeau, etc would listen to a real historian tell them what real slavery, real genocide and real colonialism is like. And just as we rightly hesitate to use “Holocaust” to describe the experience that Palestinians face today, why are we so quick to use “slavery”, “genocide” and “colonialism” to describe acts by non-Westerners? We need to better calibrate our understanding of slavery, colonialism and genocide. Perhaps the Smithsonian could do something to address this.

no one ever seems to mention the british saving many thousands of slaves by stopping ships heading to america

What the heck he's crying about....got himself a white wife(smh)

He has funny ears. 👂

The slaves character Barbados were not Africans they were actually from America they were indigenous to America
