Slavery didn’t start in 1492 when Columbus came to the New World. And it didn’t start in 1619 when the first slaves landed in Jamestown. It’s not a white phenomenon. The real story of slavery is long and complex. Candace Owens explains.

Great job by Candace!
Potential vp material, in a few years.
our federal government practices “ownership of humans”. it’s called TAXES.
From several of historical pieces on the 1619 Jamestown ‘introduction’ that I’ve read...it would appear that virtually all that were brought into the farming community...earned their freedom within three years (which was the common theme of English debt-players in the same situation). This did evolve...mostly over the type of crops that were taking off.
Tobacco versus cotton....one takes around 1/10th of the manpower.
I am so sick of Slavery and racism. Time to Just say No to the whole subject.
It’s my understanding that slavery has a very long and very unpleasant history and has been practiced in many parts of the world.
I want to cancel the Pyramids and have them torn down because of slave labor. Destroy Pharaoh power.
Not only did Caribbean Indian tribes practice cannibalism, remember that Mezo American Indians practiced public human sacrifice on a large scale.
The only thing I would disagree with her about is that Union soldiers were not fighting to end slavery. The ending of slavery was a byproduct of the war between the states, not the cause of it.
And when Georgia was founded, slavery was outlawed. Georgia was forced to legalize it in order to become a British colony.
Slavery existed in north America under the United States only from 1776 until 1865 when we ended it. 89 years. Prior to that, it was a British thing.
Oglethorpe founded it extralegally? Was it still named Georgia?
It’s started with the Brits and ended with over 600,000 Americans dead.
As another pertinent post this morning observed:

What is more disgusting is the lack of interest in ***today’s** slavery.
***I remember my Oklahoma history***
The Cherokee Slave Revolt of 1842. A disaster for the black slaves.
We get wrapped up in the fact that slavery existed here and that it was wrong. What is distorted is that black people have been led to believe that it was a unique problem for ‘blacks in America’. They’re completely unaware that it’s historically a color blind topic and that their own people in Africa rounded them up and sold them out.
The fact that white westerners ENDED slavery in WESTERN nations, while it continues in many countries, is ignored. An African descendant of slavery, here in the USA in 2024, should consider themselves the winner of the jackpot. Yet they’re made to believe they’re an ‘oppressed victim’, it’s insanely distorted and media driven for political gain. They stoke the emotions of black people to drive behavior, to make them vote a certain way. It’s evil and all about power and money. Yet many of them don’t see this. Thank you public ‘education’.
Maybe we should have a government program, taxpayer funded, for a free year-long, basic living expenses paid, trip to an African country (as government money, apparently, has no limits). Go and see what you’d otherwise be and how you’d live. Stay if you want.
Yes racism exists - but it doesn’t hold anyone down and most of it is currently coming from black people.
No time to research now, but my understanding of it came from the book, “The Great Conspiracy”’ by Union General John Logan.
I don’t know what it will take for blacks to get past their victim mindset, but here is my 42 cents worthy on slavery.
The constitution was ratified in 1789. The 13th amendment abolishing slavery was ratified in Dec 1865, not “Juneteenth.” That’s 76 years. A short time historically.
That should be celebrated as a major human rights and hisgorical accomploishment. Yet we are still wallowing in victimhood and calls for reparations.
The message to blacks should be, get trained or educated and get to work. Stop committing crimes and having so many young men in prison. If you can’t afford to raise abby don’t get pregnant. You will be judged on merit when you apply for a job.
Maybe Candace or Vetek can deliver that message. And keep calling Sharpton and Jackson what they are race hustlers who have enriched themselves.
