I'm Irish, and what do the Irish know about slaverly? 🙄

Well im pretty sure that some Africans benefited from slavery but when its comes to persecution im pretty sure in America blacks were on the bottom below the Irish.I cant confirm this but I remember watching a program where one of the people responsible for carving up Africa was Irish, but it was a while ago.
Im aware that the Irish people suffered alot of persecution but im like your still white. Maybe one day they'll be a black President but im pretty sure Irish people were accepted more in Politics in America than black people were ( im not saying they didnt suffer prejuidice im saying they suffered less than blacks, but I can be stand to be corrected). I think Kennedy for example is an Irish name so is Reagan.
PZ, surely you must see how that looks.
it looks like you're backing what kam said, which was a dig against irish people just for being white, that their suffering was somehow less because of the colour of their skin...

Well I dont have anything personal against Irish people and I still dont see how what I said was racist, im just looking at history and it seems that black people had a harder time for example Kenndey and Reagen became President a long time before Obama. That doesnt mean that Irish people didnt suffer before getting there.
Yeah, yeah ok I see how it looks though. Its kinda looks like im making Irish suffering seem trivial. If I were Irish and somebody said what I said I would be pretty pissed off. I dont think what I said was wrong but how I said it.

To me though, the race deal because of slavery is a farce, slavery happened because rich people thought they owned poor people, and could trade them like property.

True.
More-over, the Africans were known for keeping white slaves. And had been known too the way from when that corner of the world was Epyptian dominated, until nearly the turn of the 19th century.To me though, the race deal because of slavery is a farce, slavery happened because rich people thought they owned poor people, and could trade them like property.
And what worses was it was African's kidnapping there own race and selling them off.
Whites , bought them, but they werent the ones catching them, food for thought people.
