00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:05,000
The 2100 BC project for those 
who are familiar with these 1619

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,800
project, it is the attempt by 
the New York Times to claim that

3
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:14,900
the one of the most unique 
things about America is its 

4
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:18,100
practice of slavery. 
They then say America today, 

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,200
uniquely practices, capitalism 
there for slavery, is inherently

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,200
intertwined with capitalism. 
Here is a brief translation of 

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,700
four laws from the code of 
ur-nammu from Mesopotamia 

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,700
somewhere between 2100 BC and 
2050 BC. 

9
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,700
It's the oldest legal code known
to the human race. 

10
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:42,200
If a slave marries a slave and 
that's leave it set free. 

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,600
He does not leave the household.
If a slave marries a native, IE 

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,500
free person. 
He/she is to hand the firstborn 

13
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:53,300
son over to the owner. 
There are many more like this. 

14
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:56,400
The point is, is that slavery. 
Is one of the least unique 

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,700
things about America as Thomas 
Soul says in Book titled, 

16
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:06,100
economic facts and fallacies. 
For centuries before Europeans 

17
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,500
had enslaved, other European 
Europeans, Asians had enslaved 

18
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:11,500
other Asians and Africans had 
enslaved. 

19
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:15,200
Other Africans, only in the 
modern era was there both the 

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,900
wealth and Technology to 
organize? 

21
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:20,800
The mass transportation of 
people across the ocean, either 

22
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,000
as slaves or as free immigrants,
nor were Europeans, the only 

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,500
ones to transport masses of 
enslave human beings from one 

24
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:31,400
continent to another. 
Other North Africa's Barbary, 

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,500
Coast Pirates, alone, captured, 
and enslaved, at least a million

26
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:39,100
Europeans, from 1500 to 1800 
carrying more Europeans into 

27
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:42,900
bondage, in North America, than 
there were African's, bought 

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,600
brought in bondage to the United
States and to the American 

29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,500
colonies from which it was 
formed. 

30
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,300
Moreover Europeans were still 
being bought and sold in the 

31
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:55,300
slave markets of the Islamic 
World decades after blacks were 

32
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:58,900
freed in the United States 
slavery was a virtually 

33
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:01,200
Universal Installation. 
Bhushan in countries around the 

34
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200
world. 
And for thousands of years of 

35
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,600
recorded history, indeed 
archaeological evidence suggests

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,800
that human beings learn to 
enslave other human beings. 

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,100
Before they learn to write one 
of the many fallacies about 

38
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,800
slavery that it was based on 
race is sustained by the simple.

39
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,300
But pervasive practice of 
focusing exclusively on the 

40
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:23,200
enslavement of Africans by 
Europeans as if this were 

41
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,600
something unique rather than a 
part of a much larger World 

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,500
Wide, human tragedy, racism, 
grew out of African slavery, 

43
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:34,600
especially in the United States 
but slavery proceeded to racism 

44
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,300
by thousands of years. 
Europeans enslaved other 

45
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:40,200
Europeans for centuries. 
Before the first African was 

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,100
brought into bondage into the 
Western Hemisphere. 

47
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:46,600
The reason that is important is 
because when people think of 

48
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:52,000
slavery, they'll often say 
unpaid labor or free labor was 

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,900
not free to house and clothe 
people and feed them for 

50
00:02:55,900 --> 00:03:00,200
centuries at a time, it was 
costly and there's I'm wrong 

51
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,900
with volunteer work, which is 
also unpaid labor and if the 

52
00:03:03,908 --> 00:03:07,200
problem is just skin color and 
we're focusing on something that

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,700
trivial. 
Well then we don't have a 

54
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:13,600
principled objection to races 
enslaving members of their own 

55
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,600
race. 
Until you get to the fact that 

56
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,700
it's wrong to initiate violence 
against peaceful people, or 

57
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:23,200
always going to have this fight 
with no end in sight.
