Let the 26% pony up.

In the meantime, I will line up for reparations for my Irish ancestors who were treated for all intents as slaves in America.

“Let the 26% pony up.”

Tap into the multi-billion $$$ endowment funds of filthy rich universities - like Harvard, Yale and Oberlin.

I do believe more whites overall were enslaved in one form or another from outright slavery,indenture and conscription etc. I used to live on the "Mainline" Pennsylvania with the the railroad that cuts through Western Pennsylvania and into Philadelphia and every once in a while mass grave markers can be found of Chinese and Irish "workers" who slaved away laying track.

I guess slavery today has more people enslaved than any time in history from sex,Chicom factory,Islam and other slave labor.

true. but after 1 generation they could tell everyone that they were not Irish. The could call themselves, Davis, or Schultz or Mc Donald. Something that the fellas from Africa could not do.

here’s a site that documents somewhat the history of irish slavery, a fact that many on the left want to whitewash and claim was nothing more than ‘indentured servantude’

https://newspunch.com/almost-one-million-irish-slaves-at-risk-of-being-scrubbed-from-history/

some places these irish slaves were sent to- the slaves made up over 65% of the populations there- They were ‘cheaper to import’ than black slaves, and so the loss when being beaten to death by the owners were less than the loss they would take if they did the same to a black slave- the children of irish slaves were also kept as slaves- as property- and were treated just as cruelly as their parents- likely even worse because they didn’t cost the slave owner any money to purchase

it is filthy of the left to try to whitewash irish slavery by claiming they were ‘indentured servants’ - and downplaying what actually took place- they are playing one race against another- in an effort to support their ‘reparations for me but not for thee’ agenda- As I mentioned in other posts- many races all down through history were bought and sold as slaves- Christians and Jews all down through history were bought and sold as slaves and were very brutally treated as well- But the left think, and portray the agenda that only black slaves matter-
