re: #433 HappyWarrior

I’m aware of the history trust me. I’m merely saying what the Irish went through does not compare to slavery especially in the New World where Irish laborers like my third great grandfather and his sons and sons in law had the ability to move from place to place. There wasn’t sexual predation against the women too in nearly the same scale as there was among slave owners as well.

When the Irish came here, their lives became infinitely better than the slaves. However, back in Ireland, their condition was very dire. If the comparison is in their life here, there is no comparison — they were not slaves and had opportunities that were closed to African Americans.
