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.

Bloodstained Podcast Episode 4| "Kanye Was Right, Slavery Was a Choice"
In the 4th installment of the Bloodstained podcast, I discuss Kanye West's statement that "400 Years of Slavery Was a Choice". I address these comments by changing the framework of the conversation to center the long history of Slave resistance from Africa to the Americas.
By centering slave rebellions and slave resistance I ask the question, "Why do we not know this history?", these conversations and more in this short but sweet episode of the Bloodstained Podcast.

The Bloodstained podcast is my thesis if I ever went to Grad School. To me it is how history should be told, factually and thematically. This is where history meets True Crime, where we take history and view it through the lens of True Crime. Season 1 of The Bloodstained Podcast is about Slavery. We will get into the specific, the granular, the detailed in order to lay down the case that most of human history is one long True Crime Story.
Episode 0 is purely foundational, The Bloodstained Podcast is EPISODIC not ANTHOLOGY style so each episode builds on the last one. This is very much a slow burn situation. We will be discussing the Arab Slave Trade while beginning to answer the question "Why Are Black People So Mad?". The history of Slavery is.a True Crime Story, let's talk about it.
