Very glad that the word “ enslaved person” makes non black American people feel more comfortable when discussing slavery. 🙄 Slave fits better due to its connotation. It’s a negative, heavy, dirty word. It should sound dehumanizing because that’s what chattel slavery was. They( majority of white Europeans settlers and very few Native American tribes) literally saw us as non human or only part human. Slavery is the epitome of a dehumanizing experience. The word and idea of a “slave” should make one uncomfortable. My ancestors were “slaves” when they used our babies as gator bait. They were “slaves when they striped us of our name/land/culture, we were “slaves” when white women would bash the skulls of the mixed race children their husbands and overseers kept making. Pulled apart by dogs and used for various scientific experiments

I never knew they made a movie for Beloved. Love your analysis.

this is the kind of stuff they should show in schools tbh

You got requests to do WHAT????!!!! WTFFFFFF Those ppl need serious therapy

Science Fiction

It's definitely a lack of empathy. As well as unchecked privilege. There have been untold number of stories about the Holocaust that are designed to deliver strong emotional gut punches, for good reason. There haven't been anywhere near ENOUGH stories that center slavery or First Nations/Native American genocide and trauma (i.e. the horrors of the residential schools) in a similar way. And that's because systemic racism is STILL going strong

Wtf do enslaver women do of everything is done for them ??? No work, no cooking , no cleaning ??? Not even doing her own hair and makeup ? Or dressing herself ?

@NotYourMommasHistory , have you ever had a moment during rehearsal or reenactment where you wanted to cry or it was too much you needed a minute because of experiencing to some degree what the slaves went through? listening to the narrative was easy watching it happen hits way different from a movie... there is something about seeing it to a degree live, its hard. just wondering if it ever hits you some type of way

My only problem with these videos is there is no mention of the absolute violence, depravity and inhumanity the enslaved ancestors went through each and every day

???????? - Bless you Cheyney🤦‍♀

This is less than 1 percent. 99% of white people were poor. Arabs were big slavers American Indians North Africans . During the trans Atlantic slave trade most slaves went to Brazil.

If there was No equsi soup that is mentioned anywhere in our cultural foods why are you cooking it. You should be cooking traditional Black American Cultural dishes of that time...this did not sit well with me. There are too many meals that you could have prepared. It makes me question if you are Black American.

These recent comments are ignorant af. I'm incredulous.

Sound like something called employment in America

Why act this part? Do something else other than this. Even if it is acting and occurred in the past, it is a disgrace. Have some self-respect.

Things were so much better then.

Why say enslaved person instead of slave? Slave is a person, it's just a slower way of saying the same thing. Using enslaver instead of owner though is smart

Really, a black person would never be allowed to touch a white lady

There were many white ladies who were maids and worked hard.

Bruh enslaver and owner are the same thing....the enslavers captured us and the white man owned us ...we were property period unlike indentured servants ...idc what word was used both are messed up ...at the end of the day WE WERE OWNED PERIOD

I was recently in Holland and I mentioned how many well off Americans still choose to hold their weddings at formerly slave-run plantations. The sound of Dutch jaws hitting the floor was deafening.

The way you calmly talk to the ignorant and educate them 😂😂😂... this was a great break down.

Ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse at this point. Is it ignorance or simply choosing to ignore the truth. Maybe a bit of both.

Odd, how PC and WOKE leaves the female co- enslavers out of the story and insists they were all victims as well. And to maintain political alliances, we African- Americans go along with the delusion. 😅😂😊🎉

I disagree. Enslaved vs Slaves. They were slaves period! Stop trying to soften it to please others. My African ancestors were slaves.

Jemima isnt real person literally a character that has negative history but wasnt based on a woman who was a slave Imagien telling a person who seems know way more about history of blacks oh your wrong

❤❤❤

You're trivializing and romanticizing a dark period in American history. What you're presenting as an educational insight into the everyday lives of a wronged community can actually desensitize viewers to one of the greatest tragedies in the history of mankind. The music you've used is inappropriately upbeat. This video resemble something a regency channel like English Heritage or a satirical platform like The Onion or SNL would produce. There's nothing 'everyday' or 'routinely' about slavery. You're doing a disservice to your own history.

Interesting

It’s crazy because now a stylist makeup artist is a dream job to many and the concept pretty much derived from these days 😮

I love your videos. Yes, reclaim fat. My 17 year old daughter says, "That's right, I'm big backed."

That dress is beautiful.

Beloved still chills me to the bone.

Ya,ll are acting dowwwn 👏🏽

Smh u wanna be a slave smh

The laughter tells me she still doesn't get it. I doubt she'd be laughing thinking back to "accidentally" having her wedding at a concentration camp. This is not funny. Nothing about this is funny.

THIS IS SOUL FOOD, good for the soul and taste amazing. Thank you for the recipe ❤🔥

My grandmother would often tell us the stories about how life was for her and she said you did what you was told and you had to do it right. You didn’t speak only listened and if you was asked a question you only answered with a yes or no sir or yes or no ma’am. You couldn’t express how you felt about anything, punishment was very harsh if you did so.

I have some conflicting feelings about this interview. I think it is really nice that you had this conversation with your friend Abby. You tried not to judge and let her explain! She was uncomfortable and tried to hide it by laughing. But as a German, I would never laugh like that about WW2 or the Holocaust. I understand, laughing in this context is for Abby a coping mechanism. It is not easy to open up to your mistakes on camera, on the internet, and also in front of your Black friend. I really get this. But seeing now that she has a whole RUclips channel that focuses on history, it is kind of baffling how little apparently White people in the US take their own history serious. My country and culture are not perfect at all, but I do think that in Germany, we get much more sensitized about our history when we grow up. Nobody laughs about these topics. Even if you don't know the history of plantations well, which maybe was the case for the Swedish ex-husband, how can you not just ONCE question the history of this place? I don't believe she (or her ex-husband) was that ignorant (lacking knowledge and awareness), I think she just did not care. THAT would have been honest to admit. Because that is what most of us do. We think about this or that and how it is kind of bad but then we justify it through other things and/or just decide not to care. That is not the same as being truly ignorant, which I believe some people are.

Thank you for pointing this out. Being black myself I could not understand why I was relieved about Aunt Jemima being taken down but I know it was a good thing. Like you said the name of the product was not based off a real person. It’s demeaning.

All races have been enslaved and are still being enslaved all over the world.

I have been there it was really fun

Another very interesting show! One of our favorite paintings from the Philadelphia Museum of Art is of a Black woman ladling out her Pepper Pot to a varied clientele. Some richly dressed, and some middling folks. We have a reproduction hanging in our kitchen!

What nonsense is this ???

The key enslavers included the Bono State, Oyo empire (Yoruba), Kong Empire, Imamate of Futa Jallon, Imamate of Futa Toro, Kingdom of Koya, Kingdom of Khasso, Kingdom of Kaabu, Fante Confederacy, Ashanti Confederacy, and the kingdom of Dahomey.

Wtf is wrong with u Americans. Just bann these plantation weddings. Why just why. America is lodt dont drag the rest of the world with u 😂

Its more sick twisted that the enslavors could go to ones enslaved oh merry Christmas treat them like a human then go back to literally treating them like trash and being evil to them more cruel in my opinion

Looks so good food but oh god imagine being afraid to sell your food being kidnapped and be enslaved again or even never been a slave but kidnapped to become a sex slave

If they dudnt enslave those back then they werent enslaved thenost those enslavors wouldnt be bael do nothing hell they been treated better than feild workers but still had to not look at them couldnt do anything without permission or told so

I hated when someone say owner like no they slaved people they didnt own objects but they enslaved people they were enslavors whats sad imagine how rich people treated slaves working in feilds if we knew how middle class treated them
