Well , we shouldn't feel left out with all this ethnic caterwauling.This black history month is pretty much a liberal sham. Slavery was not isolated to black folk, although they made up the demographic majority of slavery.

Many Americans came as slaves to this country and they were not all black. But its politically incorrect to mention it. In particular those suffering under the barely historically acknowledged Highland Clearances were trasported to the Carolinas, and the the Carribean as slaves.But the black folks want the monopoly on slave history. Its quite a laugh.

They there is the" Help Wanted, No Irish need apply" attitude of New England while the black slaves had roofs over their heads and food, some American celts had to hunt , kill and eat rats from the Boston sewers to survive.But we don't want to talk about that now, do we while the myths of an exclusive black slavery are created and perpetuated. You can't truly talk about slavery in this country without talking about all of it,including the indentured servitude of native Americans, Scots, Irish and Chinese.

And all of us have come up in life away from it all. Thats cause for a drink or two!
