  1. If this story becomes common knowledge, I wonder of BLM will make an announcement proclaiming White Lives Matter?

    1. Not a chance in hell. The Afrotrash has a corner on the slave trade sympathy market and they’ll be damned before they give up that grift. But even before these Icelandic raids or the first black slaves coming to America, Older vet Cromwell shipped a couple of hundred thousand Irish to the Caribbean as slaves. The Irish rose up against the crown in 1608. The rebellion failed and a hundred thousand men were slaughtered. Their women and children were shipped to the West Indies where many of the Irish women were found used as breeding stock for the more robust African male slaves. The slave owners intent was to match Irish intellect with physical strength with the results being a superior slave.

  2. Jan Janszoon van Haarlem, Murat Reis the younger, barbary pirate king of the Corsair Republic of Salé was the guy who lead this attack in Iceland. Salé was in what would someday be Morocco.

    A few months after this, he sacked Baltimore Ireland, and took 108 English as slaves.

    A white man who took white people as slaves, took them to Africa and sold them.

    His picture is in the video at 3:03 and 3:48 and 6:04

    He was born a Dutchman but converted to Islam when he was captured at sea, and rose up through the ranks to be the pirate leader.

    His son Anthony (name simplified to Anthony Jansen of Salee) took a whole bunch of that pirate loot and moved to America, living in New Amsterdam and married to a redhaired hellcat, a German woman named Grietse Reyniers. He was probably the first muslim in the New World. He owned Coney Island at one point and most of Brooklyn.

    They had 4 daughters. Eva married Ferdidandus van Sicklin and they moved to western New Jersey, and lived out their life in what is now Hunterdon County. As time went on the van Sicklin name became van Sickles and that family is still in the county and some of their colonial homes still exist.

    He is one of my distant and provable ancestors. In an odd twist of how life moves in circles, I now live less than a couple miles from where Eva made her home more than 350 years ago, near what is today called van Sickles Road.

    Jan Janszoon never came to America.

  3. Uncertain where this video was going. Became disinterested after the first minute. Perhaps edit for content.

  4. The political left does not want ordinary people to know this, since the communists have made so much political hay with the mistaken notion that only black and brown skinned people have been victims of slavery, but thanks to the soldiers of Allah, Muslims are the greatest takers, buyers and sellers of slaves in human history... and whoever is in second place isn't even close. Included in that number are millions of Europeans and others who found themselves unfortunate enough to fall under Islamic control.

    In the West, people tend to view slavery as being something a part of the past, but in the Islamic world, slavery and human bondage have been features within Dar al Islam from the very beginning 1,400 years ago, and remain so today. Because of the negative publicity which accompanies the practice in much of the world, slavery is not practiced as-openly in Islamic societies as it once was - but make no mistake, it is very much there, just beneath the surface.
    And in the form of Boko Haram and other such jihadist groups in Africa, the taking of young women on raids explicitly for their use as slaves, continues unabated.

  5. Blacks think they are the only race that experienced slavery. I believe any family today, of any race, if able to trace back far enough would find ancestors who were slaves. Even indentured servants was a form of slavery in my eyes. I so tire of their bullshit.

  6. Whenever this subject comes up I try to remind people the English consider the Irish to be subhuman, have for many hundreds of years, and have always treated them in like manner. There is nothing unique about African slavery.

    1. So did the Americans back in the mid-1800s.
      "No Irish Need Apply" signs were everywhere then.

  7. Every single country there ever has been in the world since the very beginning of the human species walking the planet has had Slavery in one form or another. Anytime someone agrees to do the bidding os another under their rules, it is a form of slavery. the only thing that makes it tolerable and not slavery is you get compensated for your slavery in the form of money of other financial incentives that make it more or less a barter transaction. Leaving you free at the end of the term, or work day as we refer to it, to live the remainder of your hours in the day as you choose.
