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.
You don’t hear me bitching and we got St Patty’s Day not entire history month.
“You don’t hear me bitching and we got St Patty’s Day not entire history month.”
Why did we give them the shortest month of the year? (Heard a black comedian joking about that)
At this point many urban blacks can’t prove their ancestry back to 1960, never mind 1860. Any black person who mentions reparations is acknowledging that they have no hope for the future of the group in general, and is basically asking to be given the same status as American Indians (wards of the state in perpetuity).
Dems have acknowledged the problem and are racing to abort as many of these blacks as possible (when they can’t prevent their initial conception).
Do you have a reference for this Irish history? It’s quite interesting. I’d like to read more. Thanks.
