10 Facts About The Arab Enslavement Of Black People Not Taught In Schools
World History
Human Rights
Concerning the video, there is a lot of history there mixed with a bot of only one side of the story. The Arab Slave trades are well known in history and can be researched.
Slavery is and has been nothing new as slaves have always been a part of our recorded history as man and in all parts of the known globe. Slaves were predominately the losing tribe or societies during war, kidnapped persons to make money or people/ persons in debt.
The video, once again gives a one sided view and though historically informative, does not give the whole picture.
Human Trafficking/Involuntary Servitude

When Europeans Were Slaves: Research Suggests White Slavery Was Much More Common Than Previously...
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study suggests that a million or more European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa between 1530 and 1780 – a far greater number than had ever been estimated before.
Thanks for the links. I am aware of the history, sadly most of our population isn’t. The only items I would add is slavery wasn’t only in “America or North Africa.” but also in Europe and Asia as well.
In my talks with my Islam friends I am always amazed how they speak about what happened in the times of the Medes to the Ottomans and claim a direct lineage, and therefore, a right to property from those times. I also can trace my linage to these times but I don’t claim any rights to it. It’s an educational thing: they are taught in their schools (that are religious) that they were cheated back then and they have to right to what their people lost, that’s about the best way I could describe it from my understanding.
I don’t subscribe to this education. I believe we live in the here and now and don’t have a right to anything other than what we can make with our own two hands. That’s the American way. I learned my race relations in the inside a 113 for months at a time, in a way that no one could learn in school. I learned from my black, Puerto Rico, and yellow brothers and sisters one day at a time… and I’m a better person for it.
What does this have to do with African History as it pertains to our country? I don’t want our black community to educate themselves the same way my Islam friends are educated. I believe this type of education that preaches how our ancestors were cheated out of everything “and they still have a right to it” is very negative and tears the fabric of our society apart, tears our country apart… My thoughts, you know me a little better now.
