Slavery in Equestria

People joke about this all the time, but there is a strict caste system in Equestria. The alicorns are godlike beings, and rule as such - they're the nobility, the ruling class. Unicorns are the next step down, acting as scholars, intermediaries between the alicorns and the general public, and makers of products that exist either for leisure and entertainment or for their own sake - they're the priesthood. Next we have the pegasi, who keep Equestria safe, enforce laws and policies, and manage the distribution of natural resources - they're the warrior class: the soldiers, police, and engineers. Finally we have earth ponies - most of whom are farmers, merchants, or manual laborers - in other words, peasants. The existence of chattel slavery within such a system is... not at all unreasonable, at least in terms of logistics.

In the episode where Zecora comes into the show (sorry i forgot the name of it),when Twilight tells the ponies that she's a zebra,they start to freak out evan more,and when she says,"If you ponies weren't acting so ridiculous,she would feel welcome in ponyville!" I like to change it to,just for fun,"If you ponies weren't so fricking racist,she would feel welcome to ponyville!"But really,that episode does show pony racism to zebras.

I think Twilight's metaphor was more like, 'You shouldn't turn down a good gift, especially if you know that your friend has worked his/her heart out on it.'

And while I (Kinda) see the logic to this whole racist stuff to the ponies and Zecora in 'Bridle Gossip', I personally think that the implement of slavery was most notable in 'Trade Ya', when Teddie Safari wanted Fluttershy to come and train the double headed dog, and Rainbow accidentally trades her away.

It's interesting though you would mention that they are 'racist' against mules and donkeys

Because you have a point. It seems they are, I would like to try and dive into that more.

Why are 'mixed races' looked down upon.

As mules you are the offspring of horses and donkeys and can not breed.

Maybe that's looked down upon because you are viewed as imperfect.

Pure breeds are also held to a higher standard and not only the offspring but the parents would be looked down upon for mixing blood.

And then there is the cutie mark issue. Maybe they are also looked down upon because they don't get a cutie mark. Which is seen as an identity or an extension there of.

Without it you are no one and nothing, you have no 'destiny' no future. And often times a cutie mark says something about the job and title you hold, so without it you have no job. No rank. And no importance.


What do you think?

I forget if I spoke of this on one of your other videos, if I did it's more appropriate here anyway. (I know I said it somewhere on YouTube, but I don't remember where.) Spike is a slave. He was given to Twilight as property and raised by her not as a son, but as a servant and taught to believe that it was important and necessary for him to serve and obey her, to the point where he feels lost and broken without that servitude as seen when he thought Owluicious was replacing him. Hatching and receiving him was her entrance exam to magic academy, it would be reasonable to suppose that every candidate would be given the same test. I expect all magic students are given dragon slaves. Sunset probably had hers taken from her when she was banished. That said, I believe slavery is still common practice in Equestria only instead of other Ponies they enslave Dragons.

"dont look a gift horse in the mouth" literal translation for anyone who didnt know:

Looking a horse in the mouth - seeing its teeth, you can age a horse by its teeth. If someone gives you a horse, dont get picky.

Ive always seen it as a negative phrase tho, like "ignore the flaws/dont acknowledge problems"

In a dog and pony show the diamond dogs called rarity a mule and she got really offended

what about the sheep and cows they can clearly talk and speak but get grown in pens and kinda shoved off...?

I think spike given from celetia to twilight means that spike can be considered a slave, he was given to be twilight's servant doing whatever for twilight when ever, this would explain why twilight in season one episode eight twilight has an extra bed for aj and rarity to sleep on but spike is never seen using the spare bed.

Okay um a few things: I commented on the 'my little horses' video that I felt a horse probably referred to Saddle-Arabians. I thought I had said here (I guess not) that if a Saddle-Arabian is a horse, then maybe the 'gift horse' remark might mean they enslaved Saddle-Arabians. I noted that they wear bridles only in the context of Hasbro once called that creepy so it's odd that they used it here, butt... a bridle is used to control a work horse, in this context it's basically a slave collar. What's more, in yesterday's episode, the Saddle-Arabians (as well as other foreign dignitaries and for some odd reason BlueBlood) aren't given proper seats at the games, they're made to sit on the steps at Celestia's feet. I also find it odd that this appears to be an international event yet it's called the 'Equestria Games' and there aren't any Saddle-Arabian competitors. There are Griffins, and I don't know about the Mayan and Egyptian themed ones they didn't seem physically distinct from Equestrian Ponies. Oh here's a screen shot of what I'm talking about btw: 
http://cheezburger.com/8172704768#comments

Just one small detail: slavery in human history has little to do with race. It may have been about race in Equestria, but not in our world.

People love to talk extensively about Europeans and their enslavement of native Africans or Americans, as well as Arabs and Chinese (if I recall right) doing the same to others.
But that leaves out tyrants (emperors/empresses, kings/queens, lords/ladies etc) enslaving people of their own race, such as European peasants who were essentially treated like animals. One might still argue, though, that they weren't considered the same "race" by their rulers.

Doesn't impact your other points in this video, just figured I might nitpick this little statement.

I love to watch old brony videos, they make me realize how much the series grew over the years lore-wise

shouldve been called "racism in equestria" cool video!! loved when twilight said that thing about the gift horse. neat ideas

Personally, I think that every Earth pony has something unique. This counteracts the advantage of having wings or a horn. Think of Pinkie Pie, and her 'hunches' or 'pinky sense' (not quite positive what that was called). Twilight can't figure them out, but they're true! Another example is the pony with the ballon cutie mark in the special episode where the main 6 got their marks back from Starlight Glimmer. He made a ballon bridge extremely quickly; if a normal skill, Pinkie may have used that skill in the very first episode. Instead, Rainbow got to prove her loyalty by fixing the broken bridge.

every hoofed creature is sentient in mlp but sheep,cows,pigs and deer are often see on farms or caged!

It could be viewed as racism, but it is also a pun and a comparison that kids will understand. I don't think that it's intended to be racism. I think that it's only a pun taken from our world and put into their world for comedic effect. An example of how they aren't racist comes from Twilight herself, actually, when, in Applebuck season, she said that AppleJack was as stubborn as a mule before actually apologising to the mule. They would be racist if they were intentionally causing damage, but it appears to be only stuck-up ponies like Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara who use phrases like that to offend somepony. Then again, that also can be disproven as they taunt everypony without differentiation and not just a specific race. In the end, I think that it's just something that the writers use for comedic effect as I doubt that Hasbro would want anything to do with racism in their shows.

"when we find a race 'inferior' to our own, we enslave them," No, slavery always precedes declarations that the other is inferior.

Using outdated racist phrases doesn't mean there's still modern racism. This can be seen in every single piece of media produced in the last 30 years. Hell, the N word was being used still in movies and such if you go back a little bit more. Even whilst portraying a situation where people are treating each other as equals. Our words just haven't cought up with our heads.

Thank god, my oc is a earth pony, and I thought for a second during the video that racism would be a thing I would have to deal with if I lived in equestria, but it turned out to be directed towards mules now, I mean I still feel bad for the mules, but I'm glad I won't have to deal with that crap.

The mention of Pilgrims is a bit of a stretch. Pilgrim just means someone who goes to a new land. This can be for religious purposes or even for new opportunities. It is hardly ever related to slavery. As for the mules thing, I guess you could say its a bit racist, but sometimes they will also say "no offense" and "none taken."

XD I'm a girl, but I just love these videos. I watched almost all of them. I constantly bingewatch them XD

i think those little jabs are actually NEEDED, though. It shows that the world is not all perfect and peaceful like it seems on the surface, even when it's not under siege from some grand magical calamity. In the peaceful day to day life, there are still little bits of racism and prejudice that are commonplace simply because that's the nature of life. If anything it makes the show and it's characters even more relatable since we see bits of ourselves, our friends, and our family in them.

In Latam there is a phrase that says "a caballo regalado no se le ve el diente", it means that if you receive a gift you should not complain about what you received, because it was not the obligation of the person to give it to you, so you should be grateful. It is about the example: "if someone gives you a horse, don't complain about his teeth, at least you have a new horse"

0:20 "can proof of slaves be found in equestria?"

Me:FRIENNDSSSSSS...oh wait this is an old video

Have you ever noticed that luna looks different in the episodes. In season 1 episode 1 part 2 luna is lightish blue and in the following episodes she is dark blue?I found that rather strange. And she was very small compared to celestia in the first season episode 1 part 2 and then grows bigger in the following episodes. By the way I like your videos.

In "Hearth Warming's Eve", Earth Ponies were not slaves, just peasants. Their work wasn't unpaid: they were trading their food to the Pegasi for controling the weather for them, and to the Unicorns for magically controling the Sun and Moon. (It being true is whole another story, and it is actually quite intriguing to me if they really could once do what only Celestia and Luna are capable of now.)

But if you look for examples of slavery, how is it possible you overlooked Spike? ;J

Since this is based loosely in Greek Mythology, there's another meaning to "never look a gift horse in the mouth":  The Trojan Horse.  By looking in the mouth, you may well get attacks by a bunch of Greek soldiers.

The first time I saw that episode I got true racist vibes especially when Rarity said Zecora's stripes were awful

I’d be more worried about Twilight’s quote implying there was probably a Trojan War in Equestria. And by the way, there WERE slaves in the Trojan War.

F is for foreigners who take all our money,
U is unemplo-yment,
N is for no races other than the pegasi, no unicorns or earth pon-ies!
What have I done

"The Riding Pony" by O  its a grate  fan fiction that delves into the prospect of  earth ponies  having once been enslaved by the other races,its a little  clopy  but  the  insite it gives into Equestiran history and the ideas it proposes i could easily see haveing actually  happened

Technically all villians had slaves except nightmare moon
Discord: ponies after he corrupted them
Chrysalis: shining armor
Tierek: discord ( kind of)
Sombra: the crystal ponies

Please do video about how each timeline (in episode, when Starlight travel by time and change the past) came to be😀 please.

Ah, I remember those days when this was the setup. Really takes you back, doesn’t it?

Hmm, they implied all pony tribes were equal, so would you really try to enslave the ponies that are growing all of your food?  No, they just blackmailed them by threatening not to raise the sun.  But they implied that even that threat only carried so much weight.  Luna believed that life could continue in Equestria in Eternal Night, so do plants really need sunlight there to grow and live?  Or was Nightmare Moon just plain nuts?  King Sombra, on the other hand, used chains to enslave the Crystal Ponies even though he obviously wielded vast powers.  They would have surely been more agreeable under some kind of mass hypnosis spell (like cable TV).

I think Horses are not the same as ponies because in "Best night ever" Twilight turns Fluttershy's mice into horses (huh reference to cinderella) anyways if she turns them into horses, that means that horses are not ponies, also the song "hearts as strong as horses" proves that horses are like some other species.

"the last song love is in bloom, morse code the dashes are the higher octaves, good luck first message with it decoded wins." - end of the video static.

And now we can add that Rainbow Dash very literally sold Fluttershy into indentured servitude in season 4 for a Daring Do book. And the action was UPHELD by Princess Twilight as a fair trade until Dash claimed she wasn't satisfied.

I'm treated like a doormat, thought provoking video.  I hope our princess of friendship can ensure that all species of Ponyville are treated with respect for future seasons.

Also applejack keeps sheep locked in a pen and rounds them up like unintelligent creatures, even though they talk to her

What about Spike? I get the feeling he isn't so much Twilight's assistant as her slave with all the times she's left Spike to do some huge task and walks away without a thought. this might just be some weird running joke in the show but my head canon tries to give the incidences deeper meaning

What program do you use to edit your videos and where can I get it? I'm stuck with Windows Movie Maker and I can't do what I'd like to with it. A response would be greatly appreciated.

the whole mule thing could be based off caramels being that they still get mistreated today even though black and white coexist most of the time.
Although it's not as strong as it was in the 60s it's still frowned apon for having a relationship with someone of another race.
So what I getting at here is that the ponies are your white Americans and the donkeys are afro Americans, so the offspring being mules is frowned apon because of old ways of thinking or the remarks could just be the fact that mules can't procreate and can have different health problems.

Ps. this opinion is based off personal experience of growing up a 'mule' so to speak.

Welp. I find the episode Winter Wrap Up kinda...weird. I loved it, but think about it. Earth ponies do so much work, the pegasi clear the clouds with their wings (well, you know what I mean), but then they don't allow unicorns to use their magic? Shouldn't the pegasi not be able to use their wings? To make it fair?

I don't know, I feel like your idea about the "gift horse" line, if we're taking it to be a reference of literal horses, that could be meaning the help from a horse- which would make it even more appropriate for the situation (Rarity's help).

Also, Pilgrims aren't necessarily escaping from slavery- they're probably escaping from a place where they have less rights.  Because in order to leave a country- you need permission/rights to leave. Granny Smith's family was given a sendoff by the Princess don't forget, so they were at least viewed as brave adventurers settling a new land- not slaves looking for freedom.  Plus that would mean just 1 generation ago, Canterlot had slaves.

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" is just a figure of speech and you're looking way too deep into it.

You definitely improved since this episode xD

And then Trade Ya! was a thing the next year,

There is also the matter of Daring Do's whip. If you aren't willing to take it as a trope (she has one because Indiana Jones has one) why would ponies have invented whips in the first place? they're not great defensive weapons, and the way Daring do uses it isn't exactly the thing it was designed for. Most cultures who use whips use them to punish/discipline either slaves or animals (which in equestrian would be the same thing).

And the Mule racist thing might also explain why the lead in Hinny of the Hills was a  pony, not a hinny (a hinny is the reverse of a mule, horse father/ donkey mother)

And I'm not wholly sure that all mixes are looked upon with such scorn. I sometimes wonder if Thunderlane, with his lanky build and streaked mohawk mane is meant to be a zebra/Pegasus cross.

Though you did bring up a good point with the 'gift horse' phrase, I personally took it to mean that they meant something similar to 'The Trojan Horse'. And I am skeptical towards this, because I do not recall ANYPONY ever referring to themselves or others as horses. This being said, I am starting to question the OTHER parts of Equestria history.

I came up with this awesome episode idea. It goes like this. One day a new pony moves into Ponyville, she always where's something covering her whole back and cutiemark. She has a horn so everypony thinks she's a Unicorn. One day she see's Scootaloo falling from a cloud. She shakes off her cover and flies up and saves Scootaloo. A horn and wings? That can only mean one thing. She's a Alicorn! But how? She put's Scootaloo down and runes into the Ever Free Forest. Scootaloo hops on her scooter and zooms around Ponyville to find Applebloom and Sweetiebelle. When she finally finds them she tells them about the new pony in town and how she is a Alicorn. They decide to go tell Twilight.
I hope you like it. Feel free to make a fan made video of it. I am terrible at drawing so I really want someone on YouTube to do this for me. And it isn't finished so you get to make the ending! Enjoy!!!

There're no 'people' in the Ponyverse. Which is to say 'no humans.' Still, in 'A Canterlot Wedding, Part 1' we get Twilight saying "she sure has a way of sneaking up on people." I know we sometimes use 'people' or 'person' to indicate a certain level of sentience, rights, and a freedoms, but it's not a term regularly used in 'MLP.' They use 'pony' most of the time instead, so this throws me off.

The 'gift horse' thing is probably because we have that saying and nothing more. Even the younger audiences may be somewhat familiar with it being used, but not its origin. As to the pioneer thing, hopefully ponies were not quite so bad to others as we have been in our own history.

Also in canterlot most of the waiters are earth ponies and the customers are unicorns. The same thing happened in the beat night ever. The stallions who puller the main sixes apple carriage are earth ponies.

you might be reaching a bit for pony slavery (except for Sombra as noted).  That said however, there was one episode that touched on your subject then dropped it, never to bring it up again.  I forget the exact one, but it was where Applejack and Applebloom are rounding up some stray sheep to put them back in their pen.  Once they did, the sheep actually said "we would have gone back if you had just asked us"  Applejack responds by shutting the gate in their face.  I am left with the mindset....do the sheep really WANT to be in the pen? If not, then the Ponyies are indeed keeping them against their will. Prob just played for laughs, but still.  An odd scene to be sure.

also, I found 2 sins in the gift horse thing: so you see. If you look closely you'll see that spike's actually writhing in the same exact spot. So sin number 2: when did spike become left handed?

Nothing is perfect. You’re just looking at MLP from a negative angle

The phrase 'Don't look a gift horse in the mouth' is an old english phrase and means that you shouldn't be overly critical of gifts, it was intended as a pun. Back in those times, horses were a gift among well to do families and looking at a horse's teeth could tell you how old it was. It was seen as rude to do that if the horse was a gift.

but in one episode in season one twighlight says"that pony is as stubborn as a mule"then says to a mule"no offence" which is when the mule says"none taken"

Its the story of the founding of Europe. The pegasi have armor and millitry ambitions , much like the romans. The earth ponies are considered savages by the pegasi, much like the Vikings and the Celtics. the unicorns are the greeks, as evidenced by both the extreme wealth of the unicorns, and the fact that the bit looks like a greek Drachma. Who would have the most bits? the rich, aristocratic unicorns. The pegasi, and the unicorns relied on the earth ponies for food, much like the greeks and the romans relied on the "savages of the north and east" for food. Conspiracy, out.

The "gift horse in the mouth" and "too cool for mule comments" remind me of Nick Wilde in "Zootopia" when he admitted to selling Mr. Big a rug made out of a "Skunk..'s butt". I mean.. that just conjures up all sorts of horrifying images of Nick basically murdering a fellow sentient mammal, skinning him/her, tanning the hide (literally) and then handing it over has gift or compensation of sorts.

I mean what the fu(yay)!?

Ok FYI the horns on the changeling in your intro are Homestuck horns, belonging to the characters Kanaya, Porrin, and the Dolorosa.

I honestly think the gift horse thing was just a slip up by the writers.

Anybody remember the Diamond Dogs tho? They literally made Rarity a slave. They had the equipment ready to go, they harnessed her up & everything. The only reason she was freed was because she was annoying, & the dogs were dumb

I think the other races used to enslave earth ponies. In the crystal empire most of ponies were earth ponies and Sombra, a unicorn ruled over them

Alrighty, folks. Grab your drinks and get comfy, 'cause this is gonna be a long comment. Let's talk about racism in Equestria. We'll start with mules. As he stated in the video, mules are often the butt of jokes, such as "to cool for mule." The trouble with these jokes isn't just that they're extremely racist, but how often do you hear the mule say "none taken" after the offending pony says "no offense". Now that may seem fine, but when you think about it, that's some messed up sh!t. That's the equivalent of telling your friend to stop being such a n***, saying "no offense" to the nearest black person, and them NOT GIVING A SH!T. This means that the mules are so used to racism, that it doesn't even bother them anymore! If that isn't f^cked up, I don't know what is. Now on to the cows. This is seriously disturbing. Cows, in the show, are shown to BE ABLE TO TALK, THINK, AND REASON JUST LIKE PONIES. And yet they are rounded up like- well, cattle. Also, ponies are shown to drink milk in the show (even if they don't directly drink it, ponies are shown to bake with milk). Just think about that for a second. That's like humans rounding up all the sign-language speaking gorillas and milking them. Awful , yes? Well, that isn't the end of it. At the beginning of I-forget-which-episode, Applejack is shown stopping a cattle stampede. And when the disaster is averted, a cow is shown SPEAKING TO APPLEJACK. JUST LIKE A F^CKING PONY. And yet cows are rounded up, milked, and generally taken advantage of. At least mules have it better than that. (Thanks to everyone who read my rant, you are awesome.)

slavery still is happening, &it is so sad!

if a Pun is so clearly hitting others, it is still bad for the story.
why did they have to single out the mule/donkey in the first place?
at least the Zebra seems to be good for something.

Isn't a better example of this found in the episode "Trade ya", where rainbow dash trades Flutter Shy into servitude for Daring Do Volume 1. She then has to go before the "court (Twilight)" prove that the trade was not fair. In that episode, Fluttershy had no say in the matter and Twilight could not easily negate the trade just because it was slavery.

Pony racism has been shown throughout the series. It is right there in front of our faces! Wow mlp writers surely we should all show racism and junk to s group of four year olds. Well done

Equestrian does have races, or social structure. Such as princesses, princes, ect. But in our world, most royals have servants or slaves. In equestrian they don't. Is it because the royals have magic or are they just too kind?

Good thought about the "slave" with Twi's line but it's just a saying, it isn't a pony as a gift

In 'Tanks for the memories" Dash was pretty horribly racist towards dragons in her scene with Spike saying that Dragons and reptiles are the same thing.
Pony racism at its finest!

"find fault with something that has been received as a gift or favor."

pilgrims are not the name, they are called settlers (read the first thanksgiving )

I think there was but you can't base it off of our history because we are make enemies every day, in ponyville they make enemies during the season.

I love the changeling OC you made

Pretty groundless. Snippets of speech, especially sayings, can hardly be evidence. Considering the show's history with horse puns, this is nothing but over-analysis.

maybe slavery is still in Equestria because in one of the episodes Rainbow Dash offered to give someone Fluttershy in order to get a signed copy of a Daring Doo book

Actually I think "gift horse" is a coincedence on the editors part. I guess they didn't expect anyone to put 2 and 2 together... ;)

That could also explain why Zecora is now living in the Ever Free Forest.

OK, so "don't put your hand in the horse's mouth" or "Don't look a horse in the mouth" Is a saying we have. I don't remember what it means, but I personally think that is what the phrase meant.

The Coded Message says... " The song Love is in Bloom, Morse Code.
The dashes are the higher octives, good luck.
First message with it decoded wins" That was easy!

The Coded Message says... " The song Love is in Bloom, Morse Code.
The dashes are the higher octives, good luck.
First message with it decoded wins" That was easy!

I was expecting some mention of the Apple family's herd of sapient cows, but yeah, I can see this one, too. (ETA: Wait, maybe this video came out before that.)

good point, this whole video is a good point. Awesome

Slavery.






You know, FOR KIDS!







(Ahem credits to someone who first said that ahem)

by the way if anyone is curious about the text in the last second during the static heres what it says:
"the last song love is in bloom, mores code, the dashes are the higher octaves, good luck first message with it decoded wins"

Umm, your definition of "pilgrims" is seriously flawed dude.  "Religious pilgrims" may fit your definition, but you forgot about the other kind of pilgrims.  You know, like the ones who traveled along the American frontier in wagons to find a place to settle down and make a new home for themselves and their families?  Those are the pilgrims being referenced by Granny Smith in this episode.

Is no one going to talk about the movie where Capper tried to sell the main six to pay his rent?

2yrs later in season 5 we saw the end of equestria

one of the other reasons we came up with the saying don't look a gift horse in the mouth is because you can tell how old a horse is by their teeth how long and or how many they have.

I usually like the insight that this guy provides but this is a bit of over analyzing. I mean, mlp teaches kids to respect other people, so I think these are just meant to be jokes that kids will get.

Great audio! Also, Awesome vid!

Do regular animals count? I think I remember ponies using animals... I think

its fun seeing him grow over the years

Rarity did say mules were ugly when the diamond dogs kidnapped (ponynapped?) her.

"The last song 'Love is in Bloom,' Morse code.  The dashes are the higher octaves, good luck."

What about cows and sheeps, that are held by the Apples as pets? They are able to speak. Even suggestion, that herding them is unnecessary, as the would have moved in to the fence when beeing asked. Not racism, as those are different species, but they can talk and therefore think.

Well, apparently, indentured servitude and pony trafficking exist because Trade Ya. God, I hate that episode.

Pilgrim can also mean seed or beginning of something

Have you noticed that there is finally a car in ponyvill not drawn by ponies but little fillies have made it

Strange, oh well (wait pinkie should have partied for the car thing if she will stick to her role)

Btw when you used pony creator (I think u used that) the horns aren't mlp they're from homestuck a webcomic that many love :3

This leads us to another question. What were the ponies enslaved for??? Was T-rek just trying to keep the ponies away from freedom?? Or were they just being slaves to possibly construct something. Am I not paying attention??

Also dosnt apple Jack own pigs and cows? They are known to speak. So shouldn't they be a sub species like zecora or Frank's and Matilda?

oh and btw, TBN are you hiding something from us? (maby that your a changeling and you also  change into rarity sometimes?)

did anyone see the secret message at the end?
it was in the static

ponyville is the  only place in equestria where there is no racism against ponies
and you forgot about the cows and the sheep
and spike is a slave

Is a newborn Alicorn a Princess? *Cough, cough, Flurry Heart, cough, cough*

And then we had the Chancelor... who is literally a racist lmao-

no to slavery

Oh my crazy things if you stop at 2:48
You will see writing is it just letters just put in there just randomly or.....

The letters are a secret messages except you will have to put all the letters to make a sentence a reasonable sentence or......


It's a different language I really have no idea except it was really cool to see that

Your my favourite youtuber❤️❤️❤️❤️

This doesn’t talk about “ Slavery in Eqestria “

actully they were'nt originally earth pony's cause princess celestia and princess luna haven't been earth pony's and they lived for more than a 1,000 years

the phrase is not for their defects, but you cab see the age of a horse by their teeth. so it's it doesn't matter if it's old. it's given to you, so be grateful with what you have.

The title is actually the name of my mini series o.o (coincidence: nope :P)

I always think hasbro watches your videos a say this "we've got a reason for that" (another persorn) "weve got a reason for that"then someone says "jingx"

At 1 minutes 17 seconds I'm going to let that one slide because that was funny it was nothing you said it was something Twilight said it was funny

with his intro he turns into a pony but if you put it in slo-mo you can rarity in it WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

i kinda get it. but i think a gift horse in the mouth is, you should not look on the bad side of gifts. but a gift could be a slave so.. ya. but we probably have some saying like that were if you really think about it, like one that originally came from slavery. but celestial is very forgiving, and caring, welcoming new comers (like the yaks) that i don't really think she would allow something as cruel as slavery. but then again, no matter how much i try for it to not to, a gift horse in the mouth really seems slavery.

Yeah...and they're originally racist against Changlings (as seen with them not believing Thorax could be good), not to mention that one pony that was racist against non-ponies.

Didn’t King Sombra himatise the ponies with his magic

I like how in there history there are elements like in the human word but you only understand theme little older. If you know what i mean?

And with Granny's cutie mark, her talent is making pie, something slaves had to do. Just a thought.

And what about when Rainbow Dash exchanged Fluttershy´s services for a damn book? Does that count as slavery? You are paying a possession with a life.

Rarity can be seen at 0:01 for 1 or 2 frames

I don't think racism was intended... But just incase: WE LOV U MULES <3

A gift horse is what carasol horses are commonly called

Granny Smith: pony vill!
Captions: homie vill-

If people are questioning if there are horses in Equestria then there is. A mule is an offspring of a horse and a donkey. A horse. Not ponies a horse.

In any countries history there have been slaves

But can an earth pony become a princess please answer this because Cadence was a Pegasus and twilight was a unicorn but no princesses have been originally earth ponies.

Iv noticed something with the crystal ponies. They are clear. Look hard enough and you can see through them. :P

and not to mention in trade ya, rainbow almost traded fluttershy. yes. i said TRADED. for a book. proof.

How does cadence get her cutie make it’s the crystal heart when before she was born the crystal empire wasn’t even thar

what did the slave pony say when he got his cutie mark that was a pistol shooting?
AW, SHOOT!

Other races would be earth pony unicorn or Pegasus. Probably even alacorns

in 1:32 she means gift from a friend not a friends SLAVE!!!!!!

the last song love is in bloom, morse code. The dashes are the higher octaves, good luck first message with it decoded wins. I found it out :D

In dog and pony show rarity was pretty offended when the dogs called her a mule she called them ugly

Watching this in 2020 does not help. Argh.

Don't compare human beings
To a world of Magical horses

Secret message!!
The last song, love is in bloom, morse code.
The dashes are the higher octaves, good luck.
First message with it decoded wins.

tiwlight needs gaurds of her own right?

That message at the end, do you have to decode that?

Someone noticed rarity when he change into a pony?
i did :3

and people thought mlp was for little girls... Haha, THAT'S BLASTPHOMY!!!!

Wooh slaves! Just kidding lol. But couldn't blank flanks be slaves since they aren't really useful for anything else ^^

Great.....thanks sombra! UGH!

I herd that Discord has a daughter named Screw ball or " topsy turvy" but what I don't understand is who was his wife and were would he even live?  From crystal snowflake321

spike is just twilights helper i guess

Well it's very obvious that Zecora is supposed to be black. If we saw her in Equestria Girls, she would be black. Not trying to be racist here but what if Zecora is an escaped slave from somewhere else (I.e. Not Equestria)

Yeah the lesson don't judge a book by its cover
Really the lesson should be is "DONT BE A RASIT BICH IF SOME PONYS NEW BE NISE TO THEM GOSH DAMIT"

He's forgetting Spike.

Love your videos, but please don't use the pony generator, I'm like mad munchkin, I don't like it for oc's

I DECODED IT! It says ' the last song love is in bloom, morse code. The dashes are the higher octaves, good luck first message with it decoded wins. ' please don't copy anyone. Thank you!

I think at 2:48 was a riddle i can't figure it out though WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!!!!

Clever Notion clever clever notion. the words at the end are: "The last song love is in bloom, Morse code. the dashes are the higher octaves, good luck first message with it decoded wins."     I have no knowledge of music though so I dont know what octaves are or how to decode them sooooo yeah ummmm ive made it easier? 

how to original pony's get old and princess's don't?

My version:Grandma's smiths story ----------true is here----------winter wrap up story

F is for friends who do stuff together

U is for you and me
N is newhere under the deep blue see

It seems like spike is a slave to twighlignt what do you guys think also Brony Notion please tell me what you think

Seriously, what was that message at the end ? Fnaf nightmares fuel!!!

I was talking to someone once, and they asked me, "Why do you watch My Little Pony? It's so boring. There are no real world problems in it." That's why I like these videos talking about racism, slavery, and even mental illnesses. Because then the next time someone tells me how perfect the world in MLP is and how boring the show is because of it, I can be like, "BOOM! Racism!"

ok this is just crazy!!

durning the transformation i saw an angry rarity 0:00

so is nobody gonna talk about the end

idk if the episode was out when this was made but another example of mule racism is Rarity equating being a mule with being old and ugly

:0 Slavery is WRONG

so - It says: "The last song Love is in bloom Morse Code. The Dashes are in the higher octaves. good luck. First message with it wins. What do we win?!?!

well, u talked about racism and left out the changelings? i am disappointed.

Twilight said a gift WORSE in the mouth not a gift HORSE in the mouth

who are those stallions who pull the train? Slaves?

What do the ponies have against mules

its not slavery its animal abuse

peta has joied tha chat

The blue pony in the thumbnail has the same cutie mark has cozy glow!

chancellor neighsay is racist against the other creatures in mlp

can you talk about pinkie's promise?

like 

what does "cross my heart and hope to fly" mean's?

1:23 you mean we unless you in America or, Changling slavery?

0:55 that poor face poor baby

i just realized your using the female body form.

good point about the mule.

Wait your a change ling? So are you evil?

Slavery? S4 E22 17:23 :) it's still hppening

Did anyone else see the code at the end of video?

mind BLOWN

Although with the racist jabs, it's not like they (the developers) are saying it's OK, however it still happens. I'm not sure if they're sending a message or not.

BEGIN MORSE CODE DECODING:
ponies rock ponies rock ponies rock ponies rock ponies rock
END MORSE CODE DECODING.
But did I win? Love's in bloom ya know.

I saw the message and it says...
the last song love is in bloom.
morse code the dashed are higher octaves good luck.
First mesage with it decoded wins.
If it is yay!

how about twilight owl is she considered a slave...

did anyone decode the end?

I think she said, `Don't look a gift /hoarse/ in the mouth.`

Did anyone see the text at the end? Cause i'm confused what it said 0.0

forget my 3rd comment this is what she means... when she said "you shouldnt gift horse in the mouth" she means "DONT OVER ASK FOR THINGS FROM A FRIEND OR YOU WILL DRIVE THEM INSANE!!!!!! (or up a wall)

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth is a saying.... It means don't be picky about things that are given to you. Didn't you have to BUY slaves??!

OMG PAUSE AT 0:13 ITS THE FIRST OR SECOND DOCTOR!!!

Diamong my name is Power Santa, and I'm stuck wth no cutie mark because of a disease. 😭

You know, for kids!

What about the clear allegory to Native Americans as Buffalo

Too cool for mule is like saying mules are stupid and you're too cool to be a mule so you can't be stupid

And why doesn't Spike have wings?

Twilight saying you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth is just a saying it doesn't mean anything about slavery

Grr you Google. I've waited nearly 4 hours for this error to resolve before refreshing the page and what do I get? "An error occurred, please try again later. Learn More and in clicking Learn more it says it should resolve itself after 30 min. >:(

What about the cows and sheep ???

It was just an expretion

slave'z? there are no slave'z here in ponyvile .....beside zecora'z family >_> dont wave to them ^_^ ok moving on

What were those words at the end?

granny smith is hundreds of years old

I found twilight prayers sorry Fluttershy's friends Pinkie Pie rarity Twilight Sparkle Rainbow Dash Applejack to be a little on the insensitive side the moral to this story is just be yourself and up for what you believe in don't back down that goes for everyone not just ponies alike but people as well and you are talking about pesticides that's what GMO means and basically I got a few things I'm wondering about where did Princess Celestia's need she have a daughter why is it so hard for the ponies to understand bike is coming from why can't they let him be the little dragon grow up forever no babies stay babies forever that's just not how it works just like dragon babies and human babies they got to grow up and they've got to be able to make their own choices good or bad stopping someone from growing up is like stopping them from breathing it just doesn't work can't stop people from changing they are I think spine gets enough bad-mouthing for all the other ponies and I think if anything even understands but it would be it would be Scootaloo Applebloom and Sweetie Belle well up without their cutie marks Spike has to grow up without his parents to guide him that's my theory on the subject I guess I didn't have it. Friendship is Magic trying to get something from someone what is behind the whole motive of the whole friendship is Magic is my question I also would like to know and Cadence and Celestia parents are and how did Luna get her cutie mark how did Celeste get her cutie mark and how the tables get her cutie mark not how it works but how did they all get their cutie marks the moral of the story has things always come back learn from history are doomed to repeat it Oregon from China for text okay that was a Doctor Who parody but it didn't exactly have a clip of it where are you coming up with all these parodies is annoying as hell when you keep doing the same damn parodies of cracked-out better stuff and a toilet Miss Mass pile poop in the toilet come on seriously come up with something better get it done it up get done wrap it up winter wrap-up winter wrap up well I'm going to say just wrap this up just wrap it up

Thins that kids wouldn't catch like Applejack is an alcoholic drink

pause at this time 2:49

Little bits of racism still left? Looks at irl hOLLY-The rest of this message has been censored. We apologize that it is incomplete




And yes I made the thing at the end, not youtube.

What about spike he was born to be given duty and might be a slave

I just thought that expression came from somewhere else....

Idk what that first 2 parts of the message are about 0-0

Your memory on american history is-kinda bad. We didn't enslave the native indians, we pushed them off their land time and time again. "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" I doubt Twilight was talking about slavery, I can garantee you that the writers didn't intend that. It was just horse pun #4000.
Also your definition of pilgrims is flawed, they travel to escape religious oppression, not slavery.

Racism =/= Slavery

Interesting. That is curious.

A gift horse?

Spike is twilight sparkle’s slave

the eygptions did it, why can't ponies?





jk

OOOOOOOLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDD





video peep

P.S put on captions its hilarious

Why do i hear the british grenadiers?!

What did it flash at the end??

wtf happened with people why do people like a show for 5 year old girls its just sad that people are doing this

Granny smith said that's right my little ponies

Stop at 2:48, a weird message....

twilight explains that pony vill is hundreds of yers old... but GRANNY SMITH WAS THERE!!!!

The hell with the secret message!!! I dont understand

Omg WHY DOES HIS VOICE SOUND DIFFERENT T0T?? 0^0

Wouldn't it be Speicism!

i am a human can you make me an aiicorn

What's that message say at the end of the video

I thought it was git horse

equestria is not the rel wrold

You forgot to mention the cows on the apple’s farm can talk which makes them sapient so that makes the apple family including applejack slave owners.

Who thinks that about a freakin kids show?! I mean, seriously!!

WHAT

Lol

7 years ago not even a thousand comments........

are u a chalenging? I mean at the beginning of your video.....

That's racist

Woww

yes wen sumwun runsawy  thay are free / freedom is not free.

Every time we Americans found someone "inferior" we enslaved them? The Native Americans were never enslaved and we found them inferior. And back when we DID have slaves it was not because we just poked around in Africa and found some "inferior humans" and enslaved them. It was already a bustling trade, we just happened to pick it up. America didn't start the slave trade, we dont have a history of just enslaving "inferior" people because feel like it. Please do some research before you just bash something. (sheesh, is THIS was is being taught in school? Have we gone so far as to demonize ourselves and brainwashed out kids into thinking America created the slave trade?) Also, on you other points I doubt it. These are just supposed to be ironic.

pilgram poniesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
