@@allypaige124 Lol ok Donald Trump, why don't you cry about it some more. "NOBODY has been treated worse in history than me!" The Irish were never involved in chattel slavery, except as slavemasters once they immigrated to the United States. Being a second class citizen, while certainly undesirable, is not the same thing as being a slave. Also, if you want justice, go talk to the British. Why should America give the Irish a goddamn thing, since we weren't the ones oppressing them? America DOES owe black people justice and reparations, because this entire country was built on the unpaid labor of their ancestors. But we don't owe the Irish anything, except maybe a potato or two.

Lastly the barbary slave trade happend 100 years before the Atlantic slave trade it saw 1 to 2 million europeans took as slaves to north Africa. Yes slaves not indentured slaves. Why mention this? Cus ppl that tend to highlight the "indentured" bit tend to do so cus they try to diminish what's happend to the europeans. So now av mention barbary. We can not go down that route. To conclude. With out a shadow of a doubt if any of us now got forced into labour. And many of us died know one would be saying "indentured" Oh and who built usa.

It would've been nice if you mentioned how badly the Irish were treated during the Mexican/American war. They were placed on the frontline as living targets and shields for the Protestants; they were starved; their churches were burnt down; their women were raped, etc. All of this caused a sizeable amount of Irish to desert the US army and join their fellow Catholic Mexicans, flying the banner "Batallón de San Patricio" (Saint Patrick's Battalion) to fight against the Protestants who hated them so much.

For example Scottish journalist macmasters changed his name to Mcmasters to appear Irish in the 19th century, stating that mc was Irish and mac was scottish, mc was almost exclusively Irish in that period. There's tens of thousands of popular Irish surnames that begin with Mc/mac, McCarthy is the 13th most popular surname in Ireland the only mc surname in Ireland which is in the top 20.

England, after conquering the Irish stole their farms and homes and gave them to themselves and the Scots. For centuries it was against the law to educate Irish children and the only jobs they were allowed to hold were as laborers on farms that were stolen from them, or as storekeepers. Who could expect anything to come of a civilization growing up under restrictions like that? A million or more Irish died in the potato famine, some of whom died on the roads next to the fenced farms teeming with vegetables and sheep that used to be theirs. Their potato crops on the scraps of land where they could plant them had turned black and rotten for two consecutive years. My paternal grandmother left Ireland at the age of sixteen to come to the U.S. to get a job so as to keep her family in Ireland alive with the money she could send them. She found work as a housemaid for families in Connecticut and later moved to St. Louis to marry my Grandfather. She raised a big family who helped her build houses for rentals. All the Irish people I have known were industrious and talented people and honest, religious people as well.

I see myself more as a Latino of Irish heritage than an Irishman born in Latin America. I guess many Hispanics with Irish roots see themselves the same way.

@gamescentrel Yes, I agree with you in that he Irish government should have more connections with the Irish descendants that live in the Caribbean. Also, it should educate the people of Ireland about a person from the Caribbean that was pivotal to modern Irish history. One such man was a Harvard high honor graduate from Puerto Rico named Pedro Albizu-Campos. Harvard University is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which in turn, is right next to Boston. The whole area has historically had a strong Irish presence. While attending Harvard in the 1910s and early 1920s, Albizu-Campos, of no Irish lineage whatsoever, became active with the Irish independence movement. Being so brilliant, he quickly moved to the higher echelons of the movement, and went so far up as to work side by side with Eamon De Valera who Albizu-Campos helped write the Irish Constitution. So yes, that same Constitution that protects the rights of the people of Ireland was partly authored by a Puerto Rican. There should be places in Ireland named after Pedro Albizu-Campos. Enjoy the Caribbean if you ever get to visit.

I’m old enough to remember how many Protestant Americans were actually afraid that Kennedy would rule as a puppet of the Pope. The one thing he did to debunk that fear was to defy the Vatican on the issue of government subsidies to private religious schools. Ironically, when John Kerry ran for President in 2004, the same party that had opposed Kennedy for BEING Catholic, and for allegedly planning to bring a Catholic theocracy to America, claimed Kerry was not Catholic ENOUGH since he would not go along with the (coincidentally same) Catholic and Evangelical position of banning all abortion. Kerry was being opposed by the same party for the OPPOSITE reason Kennedy was opposed! On other issues, however, extreme Evangelicals still hate Catholic theology and call the Vatican the “Whore of Babylon.” And converts to those churches sometimes say “I was raised Catholic but now I’m Christian.”

And to a lesser extent in the film THE MOLLY MAGUIRES starring Sean Connery and Richard Harris and Anthony Zerbe. This ant-Irish sentiment lasted into the 1920's until Communism became the new bogie Man. Ireland did not Honour Martin Scorsese for highlighting the hatred shown towards the Irish in America. He should have been given citizenship in my opinion. The Irish were packed into ghettos and died like flies. Due to their harsh conditions. 3000 people had to live in one street for example in New York. America has never apologized to the Irish community to to the shocking way they treated them. I think that an apology is long overdue.

[@WhiteBloggerBlackSpecs]

zakalon123 too many generations have passed that it would be redundant because Irish Americans have become to entrenched as Americans. Would be redundant to apologize for the discrimination of almost 180 years ago (1840's)

[@zakalon123]

The ill treatment of the Irish existed long before the 1840's. The Irish were treated as slaves. Their living conditions were horrendous. Starting with the Cromwellian clearances of Ireland where at least 50, 000 Irish were EXILED to the " New World ". Irish lived in terrible conditions as " indentured servants " No other ethnic groups got an OFFICIAL apology so why not the Irish who were treated as scum in America. No the Irish should get an apology for the DISGUSTING way that they were treated in America.

The Irish weren't viewed as barbarous by Pope Adrian IV who encouraged Henry II to invade Ireland . (Adrian IV was the one and only English Pope) it was more that the Irish church was not in line with the Roman Church and he wanted it crushed and brought into line. In fact Irish monks were very well educated, the best in Europe at the time, and kept literacy and Latin going in Ireland and throughout Europe during the Dark Ages after the fall of the Roman Empire. In the 17th century, the English invaders passed laws outlawing education for the native Irish. If they got any education at all it was through secret and illegal "hedge schools". Racism is a creed used to justify oppression of peoples.

[@VunderGuy]

Also because of many Irish having curly hair and freckles, they were not considered to be pure Whites. Although very few Whites were considered pure, ( such as Italians, Germans and Spaniards), the Irish were treated like indenture servants. Even in Boston MA, they use to have signs that said; “Irish need not apply,” After a while things got better for the Irish in Boston. Many of them got into the nursing profession and turned around and became very racist towards Blacks. They made it very difficult for Black people to gain entrance into the healthcare professions. They mainly lived in an area called South Boston and behaved like the KKK. It seems people that have undergone oppression, just turn around and oppress others. Look at what happened in Germany and what those people are doing now! I pray that people can wake up and learn to empathize, especially when they have experienced oppression themselves.

Sex slavery is not cattle slavery either, it's still slavery, sex slaves are mostly sold in the country they were bought and resided in before they were sex slaves slave's. The reason you see Irish slavery mentioned with cattle slavery, is because before the Irish became indintured servants they were bought and sold forced to do psychial labor in potato field's in Irland. No differently than a slave. After Great Briten lost their Irish slaves to servitude in Irland, they started selling the Irish into other countrie's as indintured servants. Then Great Briten went into Aferica to find more slaves bought their new slaves to the United States with their indgured servants.

To be clear - when the narrator speaks of how the Brits popularized this, the Brits were apart of the Roman Empire for a LONG time and these are reverberations from those stereotypes that were built and developed under them. It didn't originate in the middle ages. It's been around for much longer than that. The Romans used them as a foil and a scapegoat for the atrocities they committed.

[@hazzmati]

The brits weren't apart of the roman empire for a long time, only for around 350 years and they weren't even properly romanized, they largely retained their own language and culture. Furthermore brits were celts themselves so it makes zero sense to discriminate against other celts. Lastly the celtic brits themselves were driven off by various germanic tribes also collectively known as the anglo saxons. These peoples were not a part of the roman empire and would not possess any inherited roman made discrimination. There is no proof the romans developed any stereotypes or discrimination against celts, it's clearly an english invention.

Thats because the irish have pale skinn at the end of the day from mating with celts the last 2000 years. And because at the end of the day they always end up kissing the englishmans ass. Lol. How you do let england only one country punk you guys for a whole millennia. 😂 Even the scots are more respected than you guys. Like how do italians who are way darker and clearly nowhere close to nordic countries be accepted into american society before you guys.

My great-grandfather, An englishman, married an Irish woman from the North and were staunch Portestants. When my grandfather married my Grandmother, also Irish/English but Catholic, they hated her. Both still had family in the old country. My grandfather's mother refused to turn the heat on in the winter, served meat on Friday on purpose, did all sorts of weird passive-aggressive stuff. Then my Grandfather decided to convert. His mother told him "I will not live to see one of my children become a Catholic."...She died on Easter, right when he was getting his Sacraments. Good thing she didnt live to see her grandson, my father, marry my French-Canadian mother! Tabernak!

[@mariag2563]

If someone is an unmixed European, it is possible to tell where they're from, roughly. I can tell the difference between Slavs and Nordics, even if both have blonde hair and blue eyes, they've got different facial features. Southern Europeans are even easier to distinguish from Northern Europeans. Germans tend to have blocky/sharp features compared to Brits, which seems to either make them as ugly as sin or georgous. The Irish don't have natural blond(e) hair. If you see an Irishman with blond hair, he has British or other genes

[@johnpatrick5307]

@@mariag2563 The Irish don't have natural blonde hair? The British are less likely to have blonde hair than the Irish - they were colonised by Middle Eastern farmers, giving them sallow skin and dark features. British "gorgeous"? - give an example.

[@micahman6873]

BulletBill110 Germans got so much hate in America for being Catholic it was a leading cause for prohibition getting enacted.

[@yarpen26]

Catholicism was just another reason to hate a group that was already widely hated. The Irish were initially given a warm welcome in the US, not least because they were seen as fellow victims of British oppression. Many other groups of immigrants, such as the Italians or the Poles, were virtually exclusively Catholic as well. It's not PC to mention it but for the most part an overwhelming majority of bigoted feelings don't appear until long after the group in question came to occupy the new land. In medieval Poland, for instance, the newly come gypsies were commonly invited to weddings and other events: any negative feelings towards them did not arise until after they became widely associated with stealing. In the US, most people were legitimately friendly towards the Jews and only grew to dislike them after they became known as loan sharks and conmen.

[@alexporter7379]

What many fail to understand is that Bavarians did not emigrate to the US in large droves like the others did. They did emigrate, and it's not uncommon to see Americans with Bavarian backgrounds, but frankly, everyone else came here more. The perception of the German in the 1890's was a mostly positive one, however, with the British and Americans having very good relations with the German Empire. Also have to take into account the German kulturkampf against the catholics, which endeared them to nations like the US and Britain.

[@dreamwolf7302]

jokes on you buddy, I'm Native American, yes ive got Irish blood in me, i grew up on a reservation, faced discrimination for white black and latin american people. I find that Irish people, consdiering the shit that was done to them that honestly makes some of the shit done to Africans look pretty damn mild. Ever heard of the Brothels? Where Irish women were forced to work because as 'animals' it was less degrading for them than it would be for actual human beings? How about the fact that aristocrats would throw an Irish woman in with 2-4 African men, take bets on which man got to her first, with the winner getting the money from the resulting child being sold. Or maybe the fact that unlike slaves, who simply had to earn the money to buy their freedom, Indentured servants had to pay off a debt that was often increasing faster they were able to earn? what you didnt think that Indentured servants only had to work for a certain length of time did you? No they had to pay off debts, usually debts from fines they were given, simply for being poor, or Irish, in public. No one is saying blacks had it easy buddy, they are saying that the Irish were just as abused, and hated by everyone else. But if it makes you feel better to belittle other's pain to make your point seem all that much more valid, feel free to keep it up. I'll just sit here, thinking about black people are bitching and moaning about how bad they have, with their social assistance programs, and their subsidized housing, while when i was growing up, we had 300 people living in tin and tar shacks, sharing a single well. Yeah, tin and tar shacks, in the US, in the 90s!!! Did i mention the fact that Natives are 7x more likely than a white man to be killed by police (blacks are 3x more likely) or that Natives are 33x more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than all other races combined?

I agree that the Anglicans were like that, but the Protestants far outnumbering the Anglicans treated the Catholics the same way. Like a three way war!

[@darknomad5600]

This eventually led to the troubles.

[@grimmfandango832]

The troubles are complicated. Scots-Irish and a few Anglicans led the young Ireland movement... initially. Wolf tone being an Anglican ultimately led it. They reached out to Catholic intelligentsia. In the end there was a 40/40/20 Presbyterian/Catholic/Anglican make up who were split between Belfast and Dublin, they rebelled en masse. But the Catholics let the team down, and this is coming from a Catholic.

Maybe you should learn some history instead of watching cartoons. In Mexico alone, the population of natives dropped from 30 million when Cortes landed to just 3 million a mere 50 years later. 50 years after that there were only 1 million Native Americans in Mexico. Yet his conquistadors only killed a few thousand in battle or violence. The natives in the Americas were rarely "slaughtered"; they died from the biggest pandemic in history.
