I will watch the video in a little bit but before I do, i want to make this clear as I have a feeling I know the premise of the video
Regardless of how slavery started, regardless of what Africans went through in Africa, regardless if it was others Africans selling them to white slave owners in the new America, it doesn't justify slavery in America. It was never ok regardless of how it began.
Couple more side notes, many slaves were treated well, it still didn't make it right. Many slaves probably lived better lives as slaves on plantations under great slave owners than they ever would have otherwise, it still doesn't justify slavery nor make it right. It was complete oppression. We have to understand the role we played in todays mess.
With that said, I will watch the video and comment later.
