In this episode, I’m diving into colorism and its impact around the world, especially on the African diaspora. We’ll chat about how slavery shaped attitudes toward skin color and how that affects identity and community today. I’ll share some personal stories and insights that highlight these ongoing issues. Anyone who argues about Colorism being real is an idiot.

In this episode of Bloodstained, I dive into the complex and often uncomfortable truth about the deep ties between slavery and the economy of the Western world. As I unravel the intricate connections, I explore how the institution of slavery shaped capitalism and fueled economic growth in the United States and beyond. From the exploitation of enslaved labor on plantations to the global trade networks it created, slavery wasn’t just a moral failure—it was a fundamental driver of wealth accumulation that continues to shape our modern economic systems.

I discuss how industries like cotton, sugar, and tobacco became the backbone of Western economies, generating immense wealth for European powers and American elites, all at the expense of millions of enslaved Africans. But the story doesn't stop at plantations. This episode examines the role of banks, insurance companies, and investors who profited from slavery, illustrating how the institution was embedded in the very fabric of Western financial systems.

How did slavery fuel the Industrial Revolution? What role did colonial powers play in creating global markets rooted in exploitation? And how do the economic consequences of slavery still linger today in the form of systemic inequality, generational wealth gaps, and racial disparities? I tackle these pressing questions, weaving historical facts with modern implications.

By connecting the past to the present, I hope this episode provides a deeper understanding of how the economy of the Western world is stained by the blood and suffering of enslaved people. Join me as I uncover the truths often buried in history and reflect on what we can learn from this painful yet crucial chapter.

If you’ve ever wondered about the real cost of Western wealth, this episode is for you. Listen, share, and join the conversation as we continue to peel back the layers of history to confront its truths.
