The Jewish Role in the African Slave Trade
In a lengthy and at times humorous presentation, a long-time instructor of African history discusses the Talmud’s role in justifying African slavery, the Jews’ dominant position in the Atlantic slave trade and slave ownership in America, and the tendency of history books to disguise Jewish slavers as ‘whites’ and ‘Europeans.’
Can’t vouch for the site or the comments on it. If you can find the videos on a less-inflammatory site, you might want to go that route.
Interesting points:
In the ancient world, Jews sold Christian slaves to Arabs, and Arab slaves to Christians. Jews were considered the dominant player in the slave trade.
Jews in the slave trade are invariably disguised as ‘whites’ or ‘Europeans’ even though they were not considered either — by themselves, or by white Europeans, implying that someone has been tampering with the history of the slave trade.
A Jewish scholar from the Simon Wisenthal Center brags in his college thesis that the Talmud (the Jews’ holy book) laid the foundation for the view that Africans were subhuman, the products of incest, and cursed by God — then denies having written that.
The Jews were vastly overrepresented at the Dutch East India company — the dominant player in the Atlantic slave trade — and were importing slaves from African to the Caribbean well before their European counterparts began their shameful exploitation of Africans in the Americas.
In the colonies and in early America, slaves vastly outnumbered whites in the ownership of slaves. While relatively few white families owned slaves, as many as 75% of Jewish families did. Jewish families were thus dramatically overrepresented in slave ownership, just as they were in slave trading.
Nineteenth century European Americans complained that while Jews, like whites, had played a role in the Atlantic slave trade, Jews, unlike whites, refused to play a role in ending slavery. The Jewish and white elites had run the slavery industry, but ending it was left to the white masses.
Doubtless, given the tendency in America to give Jews special treatment due to their long history of blowback in Europe, both the videos and this explanatory post are likely to be met with the harshest vitriol. Still, if you find the subject matter interesting, and you feel that no group, regardless of how wealthy or powerful, should be immune from scrutiny, you may find the videos highly enlightening.
If anything can promote racial healing in this country, it is the knowledge that the masses of poor, powerless whites and African slaves had more in common with each other than either had with the white or Jewish elite.
