[@colinwood7164]

Ireland was a net exporter of food during the potato famine, half of the entire military force of the entire british empire was stationed in ireland during that time to facilitate the export while the population starved to death. The famine was not because the irish were too stupid to eat anything but potatoes, but because the british only allowed the irish to keep their potato crop while everything else was sent to britain.

[@artseosamhogriobhta]

[@NahEirreanFear]

Just as funny as blacks starving to death for killing off white farmers. Actually thats not as funny because the english stole all the crops from the irish.

[@ivywoodxrecords]

They were essentially indentured servants to the crown, 250 years into British occupation, tenant farmers living in shacks (with pigs), subsisting on meager meager margins from a potato crop which essentially only fed their families and barely enough left over for planting the next season. The "bight" or whatever, which destroyed most of the crops on the island, gently pushed 95% of the Irish population over the brink and into extreme, destitute poverty and starvation. The ones that survived had their genes mutated and irrevocably damaged in the process, marking an entire race of people damaged, and the British just stood and watched while the masses died in the fields, the women wailing in desperation and the men silently standing by, helpless. There are stories of shops in villages displaying lavish cakes and sweets, desserts and pies in the windows for the people, who were dying of starvation, to see as they walked by. The penalty for stealing from any of the Crowns stores or stockpiles was, often death. The workhouses were filled with dying men and the lucky ones were able to buy passage or stowaway on ships to America. A lot died in their shacks and many more starved out in in the street and the alleyways, wearing rags and laying their cold lifeless bodies on the cobblestone. Children dead in the street, apparently the British soldiers were brought to tears by the sight of it all but they were strictly forbidden from interfering. Of course British Lords in Dublin and across the channel did not see a single moment of this, off in their castles and collecting profits from who knows what economic endeavors, unaffected by the stories that came through from across over on the Island. Now, many of us are in America, cut off from that place, but believe me, there is UNMISTAKABLE vestiges running through our blood, infecting our genes, destroying us slowly still, mental health, families ruined, various pathologies, not to mention the alcoholism. I wish I was not an Irish American and I hope in the next lifetime I can be something else. The weight of it is heavy and its not a lot of fun.

Black people did not build this country. At the peak of slavery in the US only 1.5% of Americans owned slaves, and slave owning was very expensive, meaning only the elite (like wealthy plantation owners) could afford to own them. Picking cotton is not building the country. In fact, that’s the main reason the south lost the civil war, because they were very dependent on an agrarian economic model where a small percent of Whites were rich enough to own slaves, while the majority of poor Whites had little employment opportunities due to slavery cornering the market on cheap labor. The north on the other hand was much wealthier and advanced because they wealth was more spread out, due to the competitive labor market and machinery.

Bruh europeans had enough time to live in europe long enough that their skin turned white, build cities and a powerful military, build ships to sail across the sea to africa and then steal some of them, bring them back, and then start a whole ass country. Africans still couldnt figure out basic democracy and irrigation 🤣

I used to work late every night. I’ve been mugged 3 times. Twice with a gun. Once with a sword to my neck… no joke. Guess who did every time? ? Kids under 15. Twice, I saw an adult drive them away. Guess what race they were? And if any of those kids wanted work permits and to work for me, I still would’ve given them jobs doing something. I had to work when I was young doing the worst shit. It was embarrassing. Nothing is ever said about how cultures causes certain groups to not want to work. Parents suck. Wait, forget what I just said.

10:13 they didn’t get paid. They found a loophole around that through company towns and company stores. Nearly all coal and rail workers actually died in debt to the company, hence songs like “16 Tons”. Again, historical revisionism has hidden these facts.

Funny how Matt keeps having to add "but they got paid." because Shane completely misses that point.

[@Augusto_Pinochet]

He actually addresses it. He said “Yes but are you really being paid when you’re making $3 a day, but you owe the people that you’re working for, $4 a day?” And if you have no choice who your employer is, then you’re a slave.

Even freed slaves from plantations who went to work in coal mines later agreed that the mines were much much worse.

I’m white(obviously) although, the only person I really have in this world is my brother…who is mixed. So as far as anyone else is concerned, he’s black. Anyway, he means everything to me…and I would not wanna be here without him. Not that I’m suicidal or anything like that…my life is pretty sweet lol I just don’t have any interest in a world that he doesn’t exist in. All that being said, the white vs black thing is so exhausting…I’ve never really had to deal with a lot of the shit I see people talking about…like I said, the most important person in my life is half back…also, the first like 10 chicks I slept with were black(or mixed) I grew up listening to Aliyah, Usher, Nelly, Tupac, 50 Cent, etc…my best friends were/are black…and one Mexican😂😂 but I’ve never looked at it like…I’m into black chicks…or I like black music….or I prefer black people idk…there are just as many good and bad people in every race. Skin color is not relevant when it comes to knowing who is good…and who is bad…I do feel like people are almost trying to keep racism going. I know slavery was bad…but dude that shit ain’t got nothing to do with me…I’m sorry. It just doesn’t. I was just as broke as anybody growing up…hell, just a couple years ago I was living in my 800 dollar car that had no brakes…with my little brother. So even as an adult I haven’t noticed any benefit from this “white privilege” thing I’ve heard so much about😂😂 in fact, the cops were saying they had proof of me breaking and entering…or just straight up stealing from peoples cars…something like that. I’m not sure which one it was because I genuinely had no idea what they were talking about. I was too busy working my ass off at some awful factory job then sleeping in the driver seat of my car…with my seat all the way up because everything my brother and I owned was filling the trunk and entire backseat…it wasn’t much but it was enough to fill up that tiny little car…so if anything I got the exact opposite experience of this white privilege thing smh to be fair…I don’t really know any black people in the real world that pedal this bs, but I just seriously hope either side can just stop trying to separate people…in any/every way…we’re all just people. Why does it have to be more, or less…than that??? Besides, there are far too many pretty girls in any/every race for people to be racist😂😂
