  1. You can get an unbiased account by studying literature across multiple sources. That's what academics do. In fact, I would argue, that they will know more than the people who stay on the island, as most likely they're all prejudiced.

  2.  @D4rthsunny How are the current day Europeans oppressors when they had no say in it? Why would you guilt trip somebody who had no part in slavery? You mean to say your ancestors were all nice and did nothing bad? Should we guilt trip Mexicans for sacrificing humans? Should we guilt trip current day Germans?

  3.  @MKRex  The descendants of Africans get to live in a developed 1st world country with equal rights. Case closed.

  6. Mate, you’ve been watching all politically painted videos before. This one is even and balanced. Albanians were discriminated against, that’s a fact.

  7.  @sammymendis475  No. Because news sources are multiple. From different sources, like I can unbiasedly read news sources from the nation, from out of nation, and from all the opposing fractions and then critically analyze the outcome. If I'm involved, then I'll be biased if my community is hurt. Because fundamentally I associate with that. Its a strong bias.

  10. The same calculations that were used when 13-14 year old Mary married a 80 year old Joseph.

  11.  @godofthisshit  Where did all the wealth of the Ottoman Empire slave trade go? We know the descendants aren't the one inheriting it.
    35
  12.  @godofthisshit  Consider the following questions: 1. ⁠Who will pay to verify that the recipient is descended from slaves? How much will this cost? 2. ⁠Who does the reparations money come from? Only those whose ancestors owned slaves? Descendants of slave traders? If we only take money from descendents of slave owners, that would likely decimate today's southern farmers for the actions of their ancestors. Is that a just outcome? What culpability do England and other countries have? Afterall, the US didn't exist for most of that half millenia of slavery. Slavery in the US only ran from 1776-1865. How do you get the other countries to pay up? I know you're only focused on what America owes, but we have to consider how much culpability falls on other countries in order to determine how much falls on the US - after all, pinning 100% of responsibility for reparations on the US wouldn't be just. How do you calculate how much someone owes for bullying, disenfranchising, and participating in systemic racism? How do you determine someone is guilty of bullying, disenfranchising or supporting systemic racism? 3. ⁠How much will be paid? How do you put a price on the damage? This gets massively complicated when you take into account all the ways former slaves and minorities in general have been oppressed and harmed from the earliest days of slavery through the modern day. 4. ⁠Does everyone who receives reparations receive the same amount? If not, how do you calculate how much each person gets? For example, a descendant of slaves who is passing white probably won't have suffered as much bullying, disenfranchisement, or oppression as a darker skinned descendant of slaves. 5. ⁠If we recognize that we must pay reparations for slavery, what else must we also make right? This isn't to say reparations shouldn't happen, just that reparations for slavery aren't the only wrong that needs to be made right. 6. ⁠Can reparations even make things right? Don't get me wrong, having a check for whatever sum is deemed just reparation for the suffering of ancestors and the subsequent mistreatment of minorities is nice, but does it actually fix anything?

  13.  @zimriel See, this video is not made to compare africa’s part in the slave trade with Europe. It just highlights that African ethnic groups did have a part. Most leftists in the states don't acknowledge this. It takes two to tango (enslave).
    32
  14. The whole video is about why...why are you not willing to accept? Where is this deep-rooted hatred coming from?

  15.  @Rexorazor But the plot twist is that the kid is schizophrenic and he’s the bully himself.
    27
  16.  @LordOfSlaughter  So, you want to use the taxpayer's money to fund this massive project? Why should the people without part in the slave trade have to pay for this enormous project? You’re not talking sense. Your bias has radicalized you. We’ve many other important issues that need to be addressed, like healthcare.

  17. WRONG. 1947 25k Muslim killed and 60k Hindus killed 1980 gang rape of a Dalit woman 1992 riots - Total 900 people died which included both Hindus and Muslims Gujrat 2002 - Godhra train burning And now we have Raesi Please do upload a video about that...

  18.  @joeyjoe7930 She did. And he was attacked* by one woman, even though two were present.

  19. They have made atleast 5 videos on the crimes of Americans and the British. Stop downplaying this tragedy.

  20. Not really. Native Kashmiri pandits have been living since before the Mughal invasion. Kashmiri Shaivism originated around 700-1100 AD. Get educated.

  21.  @LordOfSlaughter  While slavery was unjust, but reparations are not justified. You can read my above comment for that. Every race has been subjugated to illtreatment in the past, where can I get my reparations?
    21
  22. ​ @LordOfSlaughter  Before the transatlantic, the system was built on Serfdom. They deserve reparations too, with that logic. Also, lets ask Africa for reparations too while we're at it, as they were the ones who sold the slaves.

  23.  @Mrcheesythumbs  No one is unbiased, that’s why you have to take multiple sources into account. And then objectively, without emotion deduce the final outcome.

  25.  @LordOfSlaughter  They were given to active victims, not descendants! Find me an active victim of the trans Atlantic trade and ill donate to them personally.

  26. Historical evidence from Egyptian texts, artworks and mummies suggests ancient Egypt was always ethnically diverse, so could not be classed as belonging to any one racial category. But it is worth noting that the skin-colour distinctions we have today didn’t exist in ancient Egypt. Instead, they simply classified themselves by the regions where they lived. Scholarly research suggests there were many different skin colours across Egypt, including what we now call white, brown and black. Much evidence shows how ancient Egypt was ruled and governed by various prominent black leaders. One is the powerful nobleman Maiherpri, who was alive during the reign of Thutmose IV. After his death, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings. We know of his skin colour from his mummy and from illustrated manuscripts, in which he appears darker skinned than the more widely circulated images of Egyptians.

  27. Sources are in the description, they are legit.

  28.  @joeyjoe7930  Well, it killed a guy. They were gullible.

  29.  @kathys.1764  They talk about it in the video, you didn't watch it fully?

  32. some probably had blue eyes, as seen in many Old Kingdom sculptures, since blue eyes evolved in Anatolia or Caucasus or somewhere around the Middle East 40 000 years ago[2] , and Egyptians had significant Middle Eastern ancestry[3]. There have been found also mummies with light hair, like red or blonde or light brown, but the majority of the mummies had dark brown hair or black.

  33. Stop looking at History with your 2022 moral. Literally every nation at that time practiced slavery. The rules and regulations of those times were different.

  34.  @MKRex  Karma? Yup, that idea is something my ancestors developed. We can agree on that!

  35.  @BleedingSnow  Bot detected, opinion rejected.

  36.  @LordOfSlaughter  I'm an Indian living in the States, how am I benefiting from it?

  37.  @freedomofexpression4916  Please tell me the exact timestamp where they justified slavery. From what I can tell, they started the video by holding Europeans accountable for the 12 million enslaved. It's not their fault that you can't handle the truth of your own part in the slave trade.
    15
  38.  @karmapeople1735  Same 😅. And i'm a history buff. This topic is relatively untold. They don't teach this at school atleast.
    13
  39. Those are minor mistakes. Stop diverting from the video’s main point. Romania had a HUGE part in the caust.

  40. Lol, it's funny coming from a propaganda channel. You should correct all your lies first.
    13
  41.  @BleedingSnow RU bot detected!

  42.  @freedomofexpression4916  It's not fictional but an artistic representation. There WERE African slave owners, and they did not treat their slaves nicely. Also, you wrote 20 minutes of the video justifying slavery. Let me ask you again, show me in those 20 minutes where they justified slavery. Your bubble has been burst. All lives matter.

  43.  @IrishCinnsealach  Bologna wasn’t the first university smh, it was Nalanda, which came into existence around 500 AD. People from all over Asia used to come there to study. It is well documented. Stop with this fake Eurocentric history.

  44.  @atilla4372 Both are at fault. There's no black and white in this.
    11
  45.  @Light-of_the_Truefaith  Nope, Justice Yusuf Saraf reported around 20-30k. All other figures were exaggerated by media.

  46. Naa thats talked about a lot.

  47.  @JacksonAfroman Not common at all. You should visit the united states and see for yourself.
