The Afrocentric Victimology Monopoly

[Moe Gibbs]

Do a GOOGLE search sometime for Scotch / Irish Slaves and see what you get in return. I'll save you the time...you will get nothing but dozens of responses like "This is a myth" or "This is a lie being told by White Supremacists" , etc.

Well I did a little more digging to find a scholarly write up about it and thought some of you would appreciate having a look at it. Chances are none of you were taught this in school. I know I was not.

IRISH: THE FORGOTTEN WHITE SLAVES
Copied from Patrick Peters
They came as slaves: human cargo transported on British ships bound for the Americas. They were shipped by the

hundreds of thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children.

Whenever they rebelled or even disobeyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. Some were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives.

We don’t really need to go through all of the gory details, do we? We know all too well the atrocities of the African slave trade.

But are we talking about African slavery? King James VI and Charles I also led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor.

The Irish slave trade began when James VI sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies.

By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.

Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.

From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade.

Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well.

During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia.

Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.

Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish slaves were nothing more than human cattle.

As an example, the African slave trade was just beginning during this same period. It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated Catholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts.

African slaves were very expensive during the late 1600s (£50 Sterling). Irish slaves came cheap (no more than £5 Sterling). If a planter whipped, branded or beat an Irish slave to death, it was never a crime. A death was a monetary setback, but far cheaper than killing a more expensive African.

The English masters quickly began breeding the Irish women for both their own personal pleasure and for greater profit. Children of slaves were themselves slaves, which increased the size of the master’s free workforce.

Even if an Irish woman somehow obtained her freedom, her kids would remain slaves of her master. Thus, Irish mothers, even with this new found emancipation, would seldom abandon their children and would remain in servitude.

In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls (many as young as 12) with African men to produce slaves with a distinct complexion. These new “mulatto” slaves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African slaves.

This practice of interbreeding Irish females with African men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish slave women to African slave men for the purpose of producing slaves for sale.” In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company.

England continued to ship tens of thousands of Irish slaves for more than a century. Records state that, after the 1798 Irish Rebellion, thousands of Irish slaves were sold to both America and Australia. There were horrible abuses of both African and Irish captives. One British ship even dumped 1,302 slaves into the Atlantic Ocean so that the crew would have plenty of food to eat.

There is little question the Irish experienced the horrors of slavery as much (if not more, in the 17th Century) as the Africans did. There is also little question that those brown, tanned faces you witness in your travels to the West Indies are very likely a combination of African and Irish ancestry.

In 1839, Britain finally decided on it’s own to end its participation in Satan’s highway to hell and stopped transporting slaves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded this chapter of Irish misery.

But, if anyone, black or white, believes that slavery was only an African experience, then they’ve got it completely wrong. Irish slavery is a subject worth remembering, not erasing from our memories.

But, why is it so seldom discussed? Do the memories of hundreds of thousands of Irish victims not merit more than a mention from an unknown writer?

Or is their story to be the one that their English masters intended: To completely disappear as if it never happened.

None of the Irish victims ever made it back to their homeland to describe their ordeal. These are the lost slaves; the ones that time and biased history books conveniently forgot.

Interesting historical note: the last person killed at the Salem Witch Trials was Ann Glover. She and her husband had been shipped to Barbados as a slave in the 1650's. Her husband was killed there for refusing to renounce catholicism.

In the 1680's she was working as a housekeeper in Salem. After some of the children she was caring for got sick she was accused of being a witch.

At the trial they demanded she say the Lord's Prayer. She did so, but in Gaelic, because she didn't know English. She was then hung.

Moe: People learn something new
everyday. Thanks for putting it up.
Now if we would all read it.
It wouldn't hurt to check it out and
see if it's true. I do...

That article was supposedly fact checked and shown to be untrue.

If one in three Irish people were killed in a ten year period I would think there would be ample evidence.

This writer of the following article says there was Irish slavery (not including indentured servitude) but not in North America.

I don't see much in the Reuters article other than a discrepancy with either a date or with which King was in power that "debunks" anything. Here's another article I found...
https://www.theguardian.com/guardianwee ... 47,00.html

You realize that it's considered racist to mention that Whites were enslaved too. It's pretty easy to see right through that. They are calling it racist with the hope that it will discourage people from daring to broach the subject and also for anyone to dare suggest that Whites were able to rise above the oppression by their own wits and talents is evil, mean spirited, not nice and oh yeah...racist. I'm sure if we go further back [like into the days of the Roman Empire], we'll find many, many more examples of white slavery .

Looks like someone's hearing what he wants to hear. Moe, most of your posts in this forum have been sensible but this is a real reach. The historical consensus is that the Irish weren't slaves. There were likely a number of them who were treated like the Saudis treat their workers they import from Asia, but otherwise, no. And one random guy isn't going to change that.

If you want to play the B-b-b-b-but Game, just say that African people enslaved each other and slavery is not an American issue but rather a humanity issue that began long before America and continued long after 1865. Even today, we're all aware of sex trafficking, and every race has a hand in that. See? Easy peasy.

The Multiculturalists can't stand the fact that every race of man has been enslaved because it undermines the endless string of excuses they make for why the Negro lags behind the other races in every category except for violent crime and STD infection rates.

"When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination." -

"It is self-destructive for any society to create a situation where a baby who is born into the world today automatically has pre-existing grievances against another baby born at the same time, because of what their ancestors did centuries ago." - Thomas Sowell

Imaging having him as the first Black President instead of Obama. The Globalist Party would have never allowed that, but that's besides the point.
