Your goal in this video is to make white people as comfortable as possible. Shame on you.


@@xyzain_1827

1:48 f off, white South Africans were cruel *** during apartheid. You saying that is to do what all Americans like to do when confronted about their heinous past. You're trying to wash yourself of the shame. IMMEDIATELY. Yikes.

2:55 I have to say you're really interested in defending white people for the atrocities they've done. This is not a good start.

3:03 HOPEFULLY HUH.

3:14 Just stop. You're making as if black South Africans didn't sacrifice their lives.

It's interesting to be watching this now. We've watched and are watching a live genocide in Gaza, and the world does nothing . Instead, the perpetrators get 58 standing ovations in Congress. I think the world still had a concience in 1987 and those years. We're now in the age of the billionaires autocracy.

Thank you Professor for teaching true history I never learned in public school. Why? And you say you don’t believe in conspiracies? What else has been withheld from us in not just history but science as well. I love how you “question” the atomic theories Have you investigated Stevon A Young PhD dissertation in Nuclear Physics?
The Soweta Uprising as heart breaking and painful as it is needs to be made known. The more I learn from you the more shame I feel as a descendent of the American/European Anglo Saxon “white” race and religions. May God have mercy on us. Let TRUTH be your authority not authority your truth. Investigate everything!

I'm a white, English-speaking former liberal born in 1980 in probably the most liberal city in the country. I would have voted Yes in 1992 had I been old enough. I carried white guilt around with me a for a very long time, but the more I dig up on the apartheid years and legislation, the more I distrust any of the historical narrative that the world and we accepted. The cartoon villains the National Party were portrayed as is just absurd. I'm not suggesting they were angels, but it's becoming obvious to me that they were trying to solve an intractable problem. And the fact that white South Africans have been forced to walk around with "apartheid" in scarlet letters painted on us, is ridiculous. There was nothing special about apartheid. Everyone had been doing it in some form or another. Petty apartheid was basically Jim Crow, and grand apartheid is STILL being practiced TODAY. They were nothing more than native reservations which pretty much EVERY colonial settler state has today. In fact, they had even more autonomy than native reservations today.

And as for the "crime against humanity" nonsense, who decided that? Look at the list of countries who signed the "Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid" of 1973. Not a SINGLE Western liberal democracy amongst them. Instead, it was signed by a bunch of communist bloc states, Islamic theocracies and African dictatorships coming all kinds of atrocities in civil wars. Why is there is no "Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of Communism"? Or "Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of Islamic Theocracy."? These killed and oppressed FAR more people than us EVIL whiteys did in South Africa. And no thanks to our Western friends who, through the 70s and 80s, judge our parents and grandparents as rrrrrrrrracist from their very privileged and comfortable positions in their 90%+ white majority countries.

Some of his comments come off more than a little biased you can tell by how he insults or "throws stones" as he likes to say. Hes generally harsher in his verbage towards anything right leaning. I came here for information not a subliminal add so lets lean less on the cynical sarcasm and more on professionalism as an educator.

The country of South Africa 🇿🇦 was run by white people until 1990.
They had developed it into almost first world country status.
The infrastructure, economy, railways, airlines, schools were ranked the best in Africa.
Famous singers would go there to do concerts.

Then in 1990 the country handed over ruling power to the blacks in the ANC (African National Congress).

Since then the country has been destroyed.

South Africa airlines is now bankrupt.
The railway is abandoned.
90% of the farms have failed.
South Africa now has the highest unemployment rate in the world and second highest murder rate in the world.
Black South African students rank dead last in the world on standardized reading and math exams.

The country can not even provide basic utilities to their people.

Most white people have left and now make up only 7% of the population.

Lesson to be learned: never give your country to blacks.

P.S. It is important to note that the black South Africans (The Bantu) are NOT native to that land. They moved there from East Africa because they were escaping Islamic persecution. The only humans who are truly native to South Africa are the 'San Bushmen'. Interestingly they do not live there anymore, as they moved to Namibia and Botswana many decades ago.

White European settlers came initially from the Netherlands, and then later Germany, France and Great Britain. It is these people and their descendants that built the nation of South Africa. The Bantu built absolutely nothing. They only destroyed what the white South Africans had developed.

Roy Casagranda has been accused of making numerous inaccurate statements and presenting a biased perspective, particularly regarding Middle Eastern history. Critics point to his claims about the Council of Nicaea and the origins of Coca-Cola as examples of historical inaccuracies. While some find his public speaking engaging, they and others state his work lacks scholarly rigor and promotes misinformation, especially concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I just googled to check if Indian soldiers were used as rear guard units to slow the German advance during the battle of France in ww2 and Google AI says quite clearly no, this is not true.


@@tammylandrigan7670

little side note...In my studying Civil Rights movements in USA....In 1942, African American students staged a successful sit-in at the Jack Spratt Coffee Shop on Chicago's South Side to protest discriminatory practices. This act of nonviolent resistance, which led to the restaurant beginning to serve Black customers, was a key strategy pioneered by Midwestern African Americans in the 1940s. C.O.R.E was founded in 1942 as well and created the lose sketal foundations of what the Civil Rights movement grew into..


@@justash5963

Curious, did fw de clerk just give away the power, or were there further negotiations that were had between 1990 and 1994. With the ANC and apartheid government. I find it hard that he didn’t negotiate to still have the benefit in all this….but like I said…curious…maybe that’s why there’s still segregation ✌️


@@Big_Merk909

Love the fact that Dr. Roy made it a
point to state the (not so fun fact) that there is no left wing party in the USA And how accurately he classified the Democratic Party as center right.

As factual as this statement is, it is not acknowledged by Americans on neither “side” (of the same right wing).

The right and far right think the center right democrats to the far left are all full blown communist members of the Antifa Party institution organization. Just think the democrats/liberals hide the fact that they’re full sworn members of the Antifa corporation paid by Soros and the far left are open about it

The democrats/liberals believe they are definitely left but proudly moderate and recognize and prove they’re extremely pro capitalist and that the far left socialist communist anarchist are just extremist terrorist that are a greater danger than the fabric of American society and culture than the far right extremist who are at least proud Americans that they definitely have more in common with than mega lefties while co-opting real leftist movements on certain issues and water it down and corporatize it, effectively destroying them. That’s by design.

1:38:20 triggered an emotional response in me and i shed tears at the thought and realisation as a coloured myself in South africa, the "othering" of the Nationalism of that old South African regime is like holding a mirror up to Zionism.

I've fallen into the Roy Rabbit hole and am binging his lectures. I find myself often either the bootlegger or the baptist with Roy, as I agree on the facts and the majority of the conclusions, just usually not the interpretation on the road to the conclusions. Weird, but oddly enjoyable.

@@johngould8002

The Koi Koi found it was easier to steal the settler's than hunt the wild animals.Duh . Sorry this guy's an idiot. Difference being the war the Dutch started was to protect their property. The difference being they weren't decimated like the Americans did to the Indians, who also slaughtered all the bison with the express intent of depriving them of their main food source. This guy needs to re- educate himself.


@@Kamanya

Cape Townian here. Small correction, Europeans had been coming here for YEARS prior to the Dutch... "The Portuguese were the first Europeans to reach the Cape Town area. Bartolomeu Dias, a Portuguese explorer, rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1488 and landed at Mossel Bay on February 3, 1488, marking the first documented European landing in the region. While Dias didn't establish a permanent settlement, his voyage confirmed the sea route around Africa's southern tip. Later, in 1503, Portuguese navigator António de Saldanha anchored at Table Bay (where Cape Town is located) and climbed Table Mountain, making him the first European to do so. The Dutch, under Jan van Riebeeck, arrived much later in 1652 to establish a permanent settlement."
