What's really crazy is when you learn that the whole Angela's Ashes, 'great potato famine' thing in Ireland was actually intentionally caused by the British, and even applauded by some as 'getting rid of the rubbish' as Irish were considered lesser. There was more than enough food farmed on the island for every Irish person to eat, but it was all shipped off elsewhere. Due to starvation and migration, Ireland lost 2+ MILLION of it's inhabitants, cutting the Irish-to-English ratio in the UK from 35-1 to 5-1.
In school, I was taught that famine happened because the Irish didn't diversify their crops. Never had the British involvement mentioned at all. Brits in the 1800s were horrible, horrible people.

British elites have always been horrible regardless of century.

Sad how the schools blatantly lie, even the teachers know its a lie yet they still teach it. History is not written by the poor European or American, it is written by the aristocrat.

I just realized I'm oppressed. I demand compensation.
[–]tito333 4 points5 points6 points  (0 children)
I think we need an Irish history month.

Stop appropriating our slave culture. Triggered

Yes please. Me too. #McCompensation

It is an interesting story.
I'd like to see more than an image making the assertion, though.
[–]cngfan 4 points5 points6 points  (0 children)
There's a book called "White Cargo" that talks about it.
[–]EPD_Rybo 2 points3 points4 points  (3 children)
Wait until you find out that Irish slaves sold for $5 while a black counterpart sold for $50 and eventually going over $400 near the end of the slave trade.
[–]wizacre 1 point2 points3 points  (2 children)
I am actually more interested in the legal disposition of the Irish "slaves" than the price.
I am aware that a variety of different people found themselves in very poor circumstances arriving here, but I don't know the specific details.
[–]EPD_Rybo 2 points3 points4 points  (1 child)
The legality's centered around chattel slavery and indentured servitude and the differences in hardships faced.
Ultimately if you were a chattel slave death is all you had to look forward to..

Irish lives matter.
[–]bozobozo 4 points5 points6 points  (2 children)
They would breed cheap Irish slaves with more expensive black slaves to increase the value of their offspring. Ever run across a black dude with red hair? There's your culprit.
[–]The_gray_ghost [score hidden]  (1 child)
Why would that increase their value?
[–]Darktro [score hidden]  (0 children)
black slaves were seen as stronger/better slaves but Irish slaves were cheaper so you buy 20 Irish slaves 5 black ones make them breed the offspring now have traits of both races and you have alot more slaves cheaper then if you were to just have bought a bunch of black slaves. plus now you have the half breed slaves that you can sell as a middle of the line slave for profit.

Not chattel slavery. But nice try whitey.
[–]bombsaway1979 3 points4 points5 points  (1 child)
Indentured servitude could be pretty awful too. I think we all lose when we try to plug our respective traumas into a taxonomy of suffering.
[–]UncriticalEye -3 points-2 points-1 points  (0 children)
I'm not buying your argument that all suffering is equal.
[–]grayfox6644 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
Careful, you might see slavery as a problem instead of a race problem.
