- From Ashley Saint Clair. While slavery was common to all civilizations, only one civilization developed a moral revulsion against it, Western civilization. The first point is that everyone had slaves. Okay, people of all colors became slaves for economic reasons, because of war, because slavery, as odious as it was, was simply a normal way of life. Arabs were extracting millions of African slaves centuries before Christian nations did for about thirteen centuries, compared to the three centuries European nations ran the Atlantic slave trade. Well, this doesn't go along with the left narrative that all the bad things that have ever happened in history or white people's fault. Arabs marched African slaves across the Sahara Desert, and as such they died more often. It was customary to castrate them, and many died from this practice. The Arabs also enslaved over one million white European Christians. The term slavery, in fact comes from the word slav. The Slavs inhabited Eastern Europe, taken by the Muslims of Spain in the ninth century. Wow, it sounds like history is actually kind of complicated, and maybe it even existed before TikTok, not to mention that Africans had been enslaving each other for thousands of years. The point is that slavery. The second point is that slavery was not about race, and that's important. It was not about race. The only reason we think it's about race is because philosophers like David Hume in the eighteenth century ranked human beings and put Africans at the bottom, saying that they had no souls. The Enlightenment imposed the concept of race on a practice that had been going on for centuries in order to justify that practice. And why did they have to justify it? And this is the point, because people in the West began to question slavery's moral validity. The fact is that people of all colors owned slaves, both as part of the Atlantic slave trade and outside of it. In the United States and Caribbean black people. Black people owned thousands of black slaves, and so did the Native Americans. I wonder what portion of the Western population actually knows this stuff, because this is all basic history stuff. This isn't You don't need to be a history major, you don't need to have a degree in history to know this stuff. This is all basic stuff. You can find it out pretty easily. This should be taught in schools, even if you're not taught in school. It's not hard to find it out, especially not with the internet now. Right, But what percentage of the population actually knows? Is it five percent? Is it two percent? Is it fifteen percent? Is it twenty percent? I think the percent is going up because of social media, but this should should just be basic history that everybody is taught in school. It's not obviously because far leftists, far left extremists that run all the institutions now don't like it. It is not convenient for them. It's not convenient for theirs oppressor narrative where it's only white people, it's only Europeans that were ever oppressors. Well, Zerxi says Marxist revisional history. I think he nailed it on the head right there. But that should just be common knowledge and what percentage ones? I think the percentage is going up because with the Internet it's harder to hide the truth, but it's still not enough, I don't think anyway. Let's continue to continue on a little bit. Nearly twenty thousand of the Native American five civilized tribes sided with the Confederacy during the Civil War, fighting to keep slavery alive. Twenty eight percent of the black population who were free in New Orleans pledged their support to the Confederacy. All of the thirteen southern states of the Confederacy had substantial numbers of black slave owners. There were more than two hundred and fifty thousand free Just to continue on that, Canada had slavery before Europeans settled it. It was endemic, it had happened forever. In fact, they gave the Native American tribes gave slaves to the Europeans, and of course, part of the British Empire was abolished in eighteen thirty three. Eighteen thirty three. We need to remember that governments did not own slaves. Slave unders did. In fact, the US government fought a war to end slavery. How much should the descendants of the four hundred thousand Union soldiers who lost their lives fighting to free the slaves pay to the descendants of the slaves they freed. I'm sure she's been mercilessly attacked by far leftists because you know, she kind of breaks them old. She kind of breaks out of the stereotypes that the left progressives push. Because she's not white, all non white people are supposed to believe exactly the same thing. Right, when they talk about diverse voices, they don't really be diverse voices. They mean total conformity, but people with different skin color all saying and believing the exact same thing. Oh, and Elon Musk replied, and slavery is still active in many parts of the world. It is. But again that's an inconvenient fact that you're not going to hear from the progressives. Rumbum says, kids can barely read or do basic math cause it's racist. Apparently. Oh, it turns out that math is racist, but getting the right answers is racist. Literally, that's what they believe. Scientific American Modern mathematics confronts its white patriarchal past. You couldn't this is from twenty twenty one. You can't make this up. There, I say all the time, they're trying to kill satire. What else is this? This is an utter absurdity from Scientific American. I'm sorry, Scientific American. You are lost. You are captured by lunatics. Mathematicians want to think their field as a meritocracy, but bias, harassment, and exclusion persist. Bullshit, absolute bullshit. Every department at every university is dying to get anybody but a straight white male. We all know this is true. If there's any bias, it's in the opposite direction. Math is just math. It's just objective reality. Anyway. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Please like, share, and subscribe. Sharing really helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see you next time.
