George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and their statues are being questioned due to their history as slave owners. Changing history and culture is debated, with some feeling unfairly treated by the press for their views. The speaker distinguishes between neo-Nazis and white nationalists, condemning them while acknowledging other perspectives within the group.

Slavery was common across civilizations, not just in the West. It was not solely based on race. Many different races owned slaves, including black people and Native Americans. The US government fought to end slavery, and reparations may not be the best solution. Western civilization was the first to reject slavery morally, so we should not feel ashamed but proud.

Nigel Farage is said to be the subject of an in-depth investigation in The Times into “illicit funding,” undeclared and running into millions, attributed to a convicted criminal. The betting markets are described as nearly closed on the proposition that Nigel Farage is poised to resign over mounting financial scandals. The speaker predicts that reform is finished “with Nigel Farage,” especially if he is forced out by House of Commons authorities. The speaker then claims that the BBC has used “the law to force you to pay them,” and says the BBC has informed YouTube that it must prioritize “trusted news sources.” The speaker argues that prioritizing BBC One, BBC Two, Channel Four, Sky News, and “Uncle Tom, Cobbly and all” would deprioritize other outlets, and claims YouTube must comply “on pain of financial sanction or worse.” The speaker adds that after this, a BBC license fee may be charged for watching YouTube, which is currently exempt. They say many people watch television only on computers via YouTube and other platforms and therefore avoid a license fee, but predict this will not last. The speaker moves to international stories, describing the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (Sayyid Ali Khamenei), the leader and theologian of Iran, and says he was slain by “the United States and Israel” on the first day of the Ramadan war. The speaker claims Khamenei’s wife, daughter, and her children were also killed, and says a 14-month-old granddaughter was burned to death while playing with toys. The speaker further claims Washington, D.C., and “occupied Tel Aviv” were locations of attacks involving children, and says 160 schoolgirls were murdered in Minab while sitting at desks. They describe a funeral process lasting six days because coffins of Khamenei’s family are moved around cities in Iran, then to Karbala in neighboring Iraq, and finally back to Mashhad where he will be buried. The speaker says funeral commemorations involve “10 million people” in Tehran and calls it “the biggest funeral in human history,” adding that Trump’s July 4th celebrations were overshadowed. According to the speaker, Donald Trump reacted to Axios accounts of “millions of people weeping,” despite claims that they “didn’t like him.” The speaker says Trump is now seeing the same pictures, and claims the grieving crowd is shifting toward revenge, with “red flags of revenge” replacing other flags. They argue the chant “death to America” would be expected because, they say, it was America that caused the funeral and murdered Khamenei and others, leading to further war dynamics. The speaker then delivers a history of “American imperialism,” saying the U.S. is 250 years old and that only 19 years have passed without the U.S. being at war with other people. They claim the U.S. and Western Europe have invaded other countries, “stealing their land,” “stealing their wealth,” and taking people as slaves, and they assert that the U.S. was founded on “the genocide of the Native American people.” They claim Spanish, French, English, and “Western, settler colonialism” murdered “a hundred million Native Americans,” and say Africans were taken into slavery and later subjected to apartheid systems “until this day.” They also mention celebrations by people in Beirut and by “lunatics in Japan” after U.S. atomic bombs. Finally, the speaker returns to Trump’s July 4th events, calling him a “thief,” a “betrayer,” and accusing him of abusing women and allegedly “little girls,” associating him with “Epstein class degenerates,” and says it is a misfortune that the time has been “Donald Trump.” They end by saying two guests will appear, beginning with Professor Mohammad Marandi, “direct from Tehran.”

Black people sold black people; white people just paid for it. The speaker's great-great-grandmother was sold by her father to another black man, who then sold her to her husband. Slavery existed worldwide, including in the Arab, Persian, and Greek worlds, and among Europeans. Slavery is not unique to black people. Racism is given too much respect. Discrimination would still exist even in a mono-racial world; people would discriminate based on traits like eye color. As long as you are competition and a threat, someone will try to remove you, regardless of race. Conversely, if you add value, you will be appreciated, regardless of race.

In this video, the speaker discusses the history of slavery and its misrepresentation. They mention that slavery was practiced in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Mauritania, where it was only criminalized in 2007. The speaker argues that slavery was abolished by white people worldwide, but they are now being blamed for it. They attribute this to a desire to vilify white people because of their wealth. The speaker criticizes this narrative, stating that it oversimplifies history and prefers a simplistic good versus evil narrative. The video concludes with the speaker signing off as "Vegan de droite."

Speaker 0 argues that the crooked foundation of the public school system makes university indoctrination possible, asserting that everything in school is filtered through a Marxist lens of oppressed versus oppressors. The speaker claims schools introduce gender ideology, with opponents framed as intolerant; introduce critical race theory, with opponents framed as racist; introduce feminism, with opponents labeled misogynist or part of the patriarchy; and introduce socialism, with opponents described as privileged. The speaker contends that this influence is often subtle rather than overt, embedded in curriculum. An example given is how slavery is taught in elementary school. The speaker acknowledges general agreement that slavery was bad but argues that curricula omit broader historical context. Specifically, they state that The United States banned slavery in seven states while the rest of the world had bans in seven countries; in seventeen seventy six, 92–95% of the world was actively practicing slavery and it was the norm on every continent. The speaker also notes that Thomas Jefferson tried to get slavery abolished in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, that England abolished slavery in 1833, the United States in 1865, and that the rest of the world followed that example in Africa and Asia. The claim is that within proper historical context, the American story is one of liberation. The speaker asserts that the Marxist lens requires the oppressed versus the oppressors, and that if these arguments were made in school, a student would be failed, shamed in front of the class, and possibly sent to the principal’s office. The claim is that the system is designed to keep America divided so it could be easily conquered. Addressing critics, the speaker mentions the Frankfurt School, stating it expanded the ideas of Marxism, developed the oppressed-versus-oppressor framework, and aimed to use race, gender, and sexuality to usher in cultural Marxism. The speaker contends this infiltration began in academia in the nineteen-sixties, and attributes today’s situation to those developments. Note: Promotional content at the end has been omitted.

The speaker argues that slavery has been a universal institution throughout history, not confined to any single race or country, and notes that while Adam Smith claimed in 1776 that Western Europe was the only place with no slavery, Western Europeans nonetheless owned vast numbers of slaves in the Western Hemisphere, though not in Western Europe itself. The claim is made that pursuing reparations for slavery would entail the greatest transfer of wealth back and forth. The speaker asserts that the number of whites enslaved in North Africa by the Barbary pirates exceeded the number of Africans enslaved in the United States and the American colonies combined. Despite this, the speaker contends that nobody would go to North Africa to seek reparations because “nobody is gonna be fool enough to give it to them.”

It's interesting how discussions about slavery often imply that America created it. However, many ancient empires, like Egypt, Rome, Greece, and Mali, also relied on slavery. In Africa, tribal conflicts led to the capture and sale of people into slavery long before European involvement. These conversations are challenging and often avoided due to their emotional weight. The narrative of oppression has overshadowed the rich and complex history of various peoples. America uniquely fought a civil war over slavery, aiming to humanize slaves and legislate their freedom. Despite this, many in America still express grievances about privileges that others around the world lack. Today, slavery persists in various countries, and many people still endure these harsh realities.

- "White people didn't invent slavery. In fact, they were the first to end it." - "Slavery is evil, but it's an ancient human evil practiced by everyone to everyone." - "Trans Saharan slave trade." - "Barbary slave trade." - "Europeans did take slavery to another scale when they came to Africa." - "Which major power stopped slavery first? The British, in large part because of pro human Christian values." - "White people aren't better than anyone else, but they're also not worse." - "That lie makes us ignore history and fuels racial hatred." - "The only way out of this is to stop making morality about the color of people." - "Because in our capacity for good and evil, we are all equals."

Americans are taught that America was the worst when it comes to slavery, but this is complete nonsense. American slavery is portrayed as uniquely evil because slaves were considered property, but generational slavery was common worldwide. While the U.S. receives focus due to slavery, most slaves were not shipped there; the U.S. received under 400,000 out of 10-12 million. Focusing on historical abuse by white people won't help the black community gain capital, as modern problems aren't tied to ethnic conflict from 160 years ago. Problems in the black community increased with welfare programs. Almost every society had slavery, including the Aztecs, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Vikings, and especially the Arab world, who took about 17 million people from Africa. The British and Americans were rare in abolishing slavery. The British Navy sank around 1,600 slave ships and freed 150,000 people. Saudi Arabia only recently abolished the slave trade, and the global slavery index estimates over 700,000 slaves still exist there. American slavery was horrible but not unique. Focusing solely on America's evils hasn't improved race relations.

The speaker argues that indoctrination in schools and universities is far beyond what parents realize. He shares an example: a man in the Bay Area with daughters in a high school asks them who the first presidents of the United States were. They can name Washington, but when asked what they know about him, the response is that he was a slave owner. The conversation underscores that, beyond mentioning slavery as a horrific institution, there is little knowledge about George Washington. The speaker concludes that, while slavery is horrific, we should still know more about George Washington than that.

America's history of slavery is not unique, as many societies throughout history have practiced slavery. Slavery was common worldwide, with the Arab world being a major player in the slave trade. The British and Americans were among the few to abolish slavery. Focusing solely on America's evils in schools has not improved race relations. Acknowledging historical mistakes is important, but it is crucial to have honesty and incremental change rather than radicalism.

The speaker claims that vicious racism exists in the country, using the movie Django as an example, where the black hero says, "kill white people and get paid for it." The speaker alleges that major Jewish studios, including the Weinstein brothers, are constantly talking about white slavery. The speaker asserts that Jews, though a small percentage of the world's population, have historically controlled and dominated the worldwide slave trade for 2000 years, citing their own historians. They claim Jews enslaved millions of Europeans, worked with North African corsairs, and ran the triangular slave trade. The speaker accuses the Jewish-controlled media of creating guilt for white people about slavery, despite Jews being the "chief slave traders." They reference the Old Testament, claiming it says non-Jews can be enslaved and treated harshly. While condemning slavery and imperialism, the speaker argues it's ridiculous to condemn European Americans for their role in slavery for a few hundred years, as every nation has engaged in it.

The speaker asserts the dominant narrative in America is that white people are evil and should be ashamed. The other speaker believes people should take responsibility for the system they've created. The first speaker calls it the best system in the world, but the second speaker disagrees, citing many European countries are better off. The first speaker asks if they mean European countries with a higher density of whites, like Northern Europe, which the second speaker seems to confirm. The first speaker points out the better systems aren't in Turkey or communist Eastern Europe, implying the only systems considered better than America are more white than America.

Speaker 0 claims Black Americans are the wealthiest black people globally and believes victimhood is a hindrance, asserting nothing holds black people back and they benefit from advantages like lower college test score requirements and freedom of speech. Speaker 1 objects to the "victim mentality" claim. Speaker 1 states that people say the n-word to them frequently. Speaker 0 expresses disbelief and accuses Speaker 1 of a "race hoax" akin to Jussie Smollett, suggesting the alleged incident is fabricated to portray white students as racist. Speaker 0 asks if a black person said the n-word. Speaker 1 does not answer the question. Speaker 0 argues that if the n-word wasn't used as an insult, it shouldn't be presented as evidence of racism.

American slavery is often exaggerated as unique, but slavery existed globally. The British and Americans worked to abolish it, while the Arab world was a major slave trader. Schools focusing on America's evils worsened race relations. Acknowledging historical mistakes is important, but radicalism isn't necessary for critique. Incrementalism and honesty are key. The idea of generational slavery was not unique to America. Saudi Arabia only recently abolished the slave trade, with over 700,000 slaves estimated to still exist. Learning about global slavery can lead to a healthier culture.

The speaker questions why public schools focus on the Transatlantic slave trade and not on other slave systems, arguing that slavery was widespread across history and regions. They claim the Ottoman Empire enslaved six hundred years and 5–10 million people, with sexual slavery being institutionalized and slaves sourced from Central Europe, the Balkans, and among Hungarians, Russians, and Ukrainians. They assert the word slave derives from “Slav.” They also assert lengthy slave trades in other regions: the Trans Indian slave trade lasting over twelve hundred years and enslaving 4–10 million people; and the Trans Saharan slave trade lasting over twelve hundred years and enslaving 9–17 million people. The speaker asserts that these systems ended after, not before, the North Atlantic slave trade, and emphasizes that chattel slavery was practiced in all these places. They claim that in 1776 the majority of countries in the world practiced chattel slavery, and that while Europe and the United States were early in abolishing slavery, it continued much longer in the Middle East, Africa, and in places like China, Thailand, and Mongolia. They state that if one looked back to 1776, 90–95% of the countries in the world practiced slavery, a norm for thousands of years. They also state that the United States banned slavery in seven states at a time when the rest of the world had banned it in only seven countries. The speaker contends that the reason these histories aren’t taught is that schools are framed through a Marxist lens of oppressed versus oppressors, intentionally teaching history out of context as a form of brainwashing designed to make dividing and conquering society easy. They claim that, without historical context, it allows framing the United States as uniquely evil, whereas, in reality, it is Britain, the United States, and the West that are responsible for driving the institution of slavery into extinction. Additionally, the speaker promotes their own work, stating they teach courses on real history and what it means to be an American, and that they write books on the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, inviting readers to engage with their material.

Black people sold black people, white people just paid for it. Slavery existed worldwide, not just in America. In Europe, even white people were enslaved. Racism exists regardless of skin color.

We should not dwell on the past and instead focus on treating everyone as individuals. While acknowledging the history of racism and slavery, we should aim to move forward and not make race or gender the central focus of every issue. It is important to address inequities, but constant rehashing of the past may hinder progress towards a more inclusive society.

The speaker questions the evidence behind the idea of reparations and argues that slavery was a universal curse, not confined to one race. They mention that giving reparations to all descendants of slaves would involve a significant portion of the global population. The conversation then shifts to discussing the concept of white guilt and the ongoing legacy of slavery. The speaker expresses skepticism about apologizing for the actions of past generations and highlights a quote from Scalia about not owing anyone anything based on their race.

Speaker 1: "The narrative that they have pushed forward in the last ten years is that there is a relentless assault on against black people be on behalf of white people, and the data does not show that." Speaker 1: "White individuals are actually more likely to be attacked, especially even per capita, by black individuals in this country." Speaker 3: "it's just pure race race mongering, hate mongering. It's wrong." Speaker 3: "Where is the George Floyd policing act? It didn't pass." Speaker 0: "The media doesn't care about this, and we should start asking why." Speaker 1: "All of a sudden, when we make the left live up to their own standard of rules, there is complete silence by the entire American media."

The speaker questions why people often hear about slavery without learning who owned enslaved people, saying they came across the Wikipedia page for the Monsanto family. The speaker references Monsanto as “the company that makes the chemicals that are sprayed on all of our food” and states it “currently has billions of dollars of legal settlements to pay,” noting the company was named after Olga Monsanto. The speaker says they are “just reading from Wikipedia” and advises viewers to consult sources. According to the speaker’s reading of Wikipedia, the Monsanto family was “a powerful banking family in Louisiana in the mid 1700s.” The speaker says the family “had engaged in the Atlantic slave trade and owned slaves at their plantation in Mississippi.” By the 1780s, the speaker states they had “51 slaves.” The speaker says that led by Isaac Monsanto, the Monsanto family was part of “an entire network of slave traders,” and that “many members of the Monsanto family were involved.” The speaker adds that they are not claiming that current people are guilty or bad, and instead focuses on what they characterize as “cherry-picked narratives” in school. They argue that school histories make sure students learn that Thomas Jefferson had slaves and George Washington had slaves, while not teaching other slavery contexts. The speaker claims that “five to 10 million people were enslaved in the Ottoman Empire,” “Four to 10 million people were enslaved in the Trans-Saharan slave trade,” and “Nine to 17 million people were enslaved in the Trans-Saharan slave trade,” along with “10 million people were enslaved in South America.” They then state that, in contrast, only “three to four hundred thousand people were brought from africa to the american colonies in the united states of america,” and repeat “million million million million thousand” multiple times as part of the comparison. The speaker says they believe this framing is designed “to make america look like a uniquely evil place,” and claims it is “a marxist tactic” to make “certain people identify as victims” and “certain people be viewed as oppressors.” They further claim that “the European Christian West” would “lead the march to eradicate slavery,” describing slavery as “normalized across all civilizations for thousands of years” and “practiced by all people.” The speaker concludes that people “owe it to our kids to teach them the truth.”

The number of whites enslaved by Barbary pirates in North Africa surpassed the total number of Africans enslaved in the United States and its colonies. However, no one is seeking reparations from North Africa, as it's unlikely they would be granted. This highlights a tendency among some intellectuals to envision a unique historical narrative for the United States, despite its similarities to global history.
