So stop pushing that narrative in your non-Sowell posts

Understanding that doesn’t excuse the Trans-Atlantic slave trade but it does highlight how remarkable that a whole civilization went against world tradition and culture to try and largely succeed to end slavery throughout the world.

Thomas Sowell often challenged simplified narratives about the history of slavery. He emphasized that slavery existed across many societies and periods of history, with different groups participating in and profiting from the institution. Understanding that broader history doesn’t diminish the horrors of slavery. It helps us understand the full story rather than a selective version of it.

🚨Plaid Cymru were left ‘horrified’ and ‘frightened’ by my contribution defending the British Empire and the importance of teaching history honestly. 😳 The British Empire was ultimately a force for good in the world, and judged by historical standards, rather than contemporary ones, it was a beacon of moral virtue. Our ancestors gave everything, their money and even their lives, abolishing slavery, only for that to be thrown back in their faces. (THIS DOESN’T MEAN IT WAS MORALLY GOOD ALL THE TIME, ONLY WHEN JUDGED AS A WHOLE AND IN ITS HISTORICAL CONTEXT). The British are a special people, with a glorious history. Something to be grateful for, something to be taught honestly. 🇬🇧

This is how propaganda works: repeat a false historical claim until it becomes moral dogma. Polling result exposes the problem—not to attack people, but to show how misinformation about slavery is used to assign collective guilt to people who had nothing to do with it. History is clear: slavery existed across civilizations for millennia, and it was Western legal institutions that formally abolished it where they held power. Turning history into a blame narrative isn’t education—it’s dehumanization, the same tool every regime uses before justifying coercion. You don’t fix the past by lying about it. And you don’t build a future by teaching people to hate themselves—or each other—based on myths.

Lex Fridman: “Only 4% of slaves in the Atlantic slave trade went to the United States.” “Slavery was ubiquitous.” “It existed in virtually every major civilization in human history.” “Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, the Islamic world, Africa, and the pre-Columbian Americas all practiced slavery.” “The story of human slavery reaches deep into our history and is geographically much larger than the United States.” Lex Fridman

Thomas Sowell: ”Slavery was much bigger and involved infinitely more people than people have realized. It was not confined by race. It was not defined or created by race. It existed for thousands of years. A history professor once had a student come up to him and ask, ‘When did slavery begin?’ The real question is: when did freedom begin? Cause slavery existed as long as we have any records. From archaeological findings, we know that people were enslaving other people before they could read or write. It has always existed and has existed all over the world. The number of White people enslaved by pirates in North Africa was greater than the number of Africans brought to the United States. And yet, that’s not even mentioned.”

Slavery was the norm throughout all of human history, across all people, for thousands of years, and it didn’t come to an end until the British Empire & the United States demanded it. Now why do you think we aren’t taught that?

They want to reduce Thomas Jefferson to one thing— as a slave owner-- and use it to tear down the entire American founding. I’m not playing that game. I explain the reality: slavery was not unique to America. It existed across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia—a global institution long before the United States was founded. That doesn’t justify it—but it provides the context they refuse to give you. Then I take it further. The United States is the only country that fought a bloody civil war to end slavery—at enormous cost. That matters. That’s part of the story too. This isn’t about ignoring history—it’s about understanding it fully, not selectively. Because when you strip away context, you don’t educate—you distort. If you want the full picture—not the edited version—this is it. Watch the entire episode: Rumble: YouTube:

The UN is a corrupt joke More slaves were held by Africans than were EVER sent across the Atlantic 7 in every 1000 Africans is a slave TODAY: 10 MILLION people It took 300 years for 10M slaves to cross the Atlantic 🤦‍♂️ And the Arab Slave Trade in Africans continues TODAY! So where are the protests outside the embassies & high commissions of Nigeria, Sudan, Mali, Chad etc? Utterly contemptible. This is not about slavery at all. This is an attack on Britain, America and the West. Slavery is universal and as old as man. What was unique was the Christian evangelical movement that spread across Britain, America and Western Europe that led to the West ending its BRIEF involvement in slavery. Never forget: Britain was the first country in world history to deliberately make itself poorer in the pursuit of a moral good - i.e. the vast sums it expended enforcing an end to the slave trade on land and the high seas. We must call this nonsense out. Me at Cambridge:

TRUTH NUKE: Bill Maher: “Who is the Democrat that is going to stand up and say, ‘I’m a white guy, I’m not a racist because I don’t think white people are worse?’ We’re all the same. Humans are not good people… Slavery wasn’t invented in 1619; everybody did it THROUGHOUT history. They didn’t even think it was wrong.”

This is why they only teach half the story. Some dude says he’d trust a Muslim with his life before any Christian because “Muslims didn’t put my ancestors in chains.” Then the facts hit. The Arab Muslim slave trade ran for over 1,300 years — longer than the trans-Atlantic trade. It wasn’t just about labour. It was heavily focused on sex slavery and concubinage. Female slaves were in such high demand that merchants doubled their price. Male slaves were routinely castrated, a brutal procedure that killed many of them. Suicide was common because the humiliation was that complete. And unlike the West, which fought wars and passed laws to end slavery, the Arab trade was never abolished in many places. It still exists today in parts of Libya and other Arab nations. Black people are still called “al-bid” — meaning slave — in some areas. The Quran itself treats black slaves as worth half as much as others, and describes those going to hell as having black faces. But none of that gets taught. Because the only slavery the modern narrative cares about is the one that lets them beat the West over the head forever. The longest, most brutal, and still-ongoing slave trade in history gets memory-holed because it doesn’t fit the script. This is why people are tired of the selective outrage and the weaponized history. Truth doesn’t care which side it embarrasses. #HistoryMatters #Slavery #Truth #WokeNarrative #CanadaFirst

AMERICANS TAUGHT DISTORTED HISTORY OF SLAVERY Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it remains a stubborn myth that the North of the US was not involved in slavery. The prevailing narrative is that slavery was only deeply entrenched in the societal fabric of the South. In this clip, speaking in support of H.R. 40, a bill proposing a commission to study reparations for slavery, filmmaker Katrina Browne, a Philadelphia native, explains how the North was complicit in slavery. Along with nine relatives, Browne retraced her own family journey, discovering that they were the largest slave-trading family in US history - transporting over 12,000 Africans to the Americas in chains. She recounts that learning the history of her Rhode-Island ancestors led to the realisation that the only reason most Americans are ignorant of the North’s slave history is because Americans are taught a distorted version of history. Browne spotlights facts that contradict the idea that the North had little involvement, including the fact that Rhode Island, where her family roots lie, sent more ships to Africa in the European slave trade than any other state in the slave business, which spanned across centuries. A wide array of industries in the North profited as a result - from shipping to finance - meaning that slavery was largely responsible for the economic rise of the US as a whole. Browne ended by stating that an understanding of true history should come with acceptance of the realities of what Black people were subjected to at the hands of White enslavers. She said that what Black people want is true understanding and repair, which must encompass meaningful solutions such as reparations to rectify the injustices, not revenge. Video Credit:

Slavery in the Islamic world likely lasted longer—and involved as many or more people—than the Atlantic slave trade. Yet it remains vastly under-researched and under-discussed in the West. Why? Historian Justin Marozzi: For years, studying it was “professionally hazardous for a young scholar.”

While Mamdani and other leftists, commies and stupid liberals go on and on about the TransAtlantic slave trade and how white people somehow owe reparations, here is a clued up black lady speaking truth for all the idiots to learn. She nails it. 100 million Africans were killed by the Arab slave trade after being castrated. That was a genocide. Why is that history NOT taught? Ask yourselves why?

It’s not that socialism is suddenly becoming more popular. It’s always been popular. What changed was the brief period after 1990 when people collectively recognized that, while it sounds appealing, it doesn’t actually work. Now we have a new generation saying, “Oh, socialism—sounds great!” But the truth is, just about everyone who is uninformed about history thinks it sounds great. You don’t have to be taught that socialism is bad—you have to be taught that it isn’t good. People start out believing it’s good. It feels like a moral, fair, compassionate idea. That’s why it has resurfaced in so many societies throughout history: you explain the concept, and people naturally respond, “That sounds wonderful.” Only later, through experience or education, do they come to understand its limitations—and its tendency to lead to suffering and catastrophe.

Did Muslims participate in the sub Saharan slave trade? And Did you know that in Islam, freeing a slave is considered an act of worship? When comparing Muslim and Christian histories of slavery, we should distinguish between the actions of people and the teachings of their religion. Muslims participated in the trans-Saharan slave trade, but slavery was never sanctioned as a religious command to enslave people. Islam instead encouraged and rewarded the freeing of slaves. The Atlantic slave trade, on the other hand, was defended and justified by the head of Christianity, Christian authorities and institutions. History should be discussed honestly—and religious teachings should be distinguished from the actions of those who claim to follow them.
