Yes, the physical conditions, including the fukking climate, were worse in the Caribbean. That is not debatable. And I’m only talking about the trans atlantic slave trade so I don’t know why you’re bringing up medieval times and shyt. In no shape or form am I saying slavery was worse in its totality for those people. It was very obviously more insidious in the States.Really??This was not what slavery meant in the ancient world, in medieval and early modern Europe, or in Brazil and the West Indies.

This movie was banned was it came out and is definitely worth the watch, especially the ending with the Nat Turner esc type of ending. I always recommend this and The Spook That Sat By The Door to anybody.
NOTHING was worse than American slavery....The most perplexing question abut American slavery, which has never been altogether explained, and which indeed most Americans hardly know exists, has been stated by Nathan Glazer as follows: "Why was American slavery the most awful the world has ever known?" The only thing that can be said with certainty is that this is true: it was.
Chapter III The Roots of the Problem
Note: This historic and controversial report was prepared in 1965 by the Department's Office of Policy Planning and Review. The principal author was Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who later served as a United States Senator from New York.Slaverywww.dol.gov
American slavery was profoundly different from, and in its lasting effects on individuals and their children, indescribably worse than, any recorded servitude, ancient or modern.
It’s a shame that the white man has you forgetting that we’re black first. Slavery was not peaches and cream in the Caribbean and South America and even in Africa. Who sold you that lie?

Why would I waste time debating a strawman?

Bruh I ordinarily fukk with you, why you doing this. I even appreciate you bringing this movie, however problematic, to my attention. Why are you derailing your own thread? Even after I conceded that NA slavery was worse in its totality and lasting impact.

I'm PREVENTING the thread from being derailed. The thread focuses on the WHOLE system of slavery in America, not who suffered more physical abuse among enslaved people or some diaspora war nonsense.
Glad I fly the red, black and green instead of the red, white and blue like you.

I seen it before and it is extremely racist. If you want to watch it for free on YouTube you don’t have to feel bad about doing it though because you are not going to find any pleasure from watching it. You will be filled with disgust and anger. But I don’t regret watching it (seen years ago and won’t watch again) because even though it was racist as fukk I learned a lot of things that I wasn’t aware of in regards to certain practices and treatments of the slaves that were portrayed accurately. Like how they fed them. But this is not something you have to watch. It’s just gonna make you pissed and you can get the information in other places.in a car more accurate manner. It does show some harsh depictions in here
