Oh hell no. Stay the fuck away from Mayo assholes. Fortunately, I think these people will fail in Ireland. TBH when talking about immigration, the Irish people have been some of the most humane minded people I’ve met. I talk to a lot of Irish people through my research. Most are very liberal minded i.e. can’t stand Trump, are appalled by nativism, and definitely hate the Irish slave myth used to put down African Americans.

Not really a myth, at least not concerning how Irish (and some Scottish POWs) were chattel slaves in Barbados…but slavery in Barbados does not in any way mitigate or excuse slavery in the American colonies and I utterly fail to see how American stormfront types try to whatabout that. It simply does not work. It was horrible and evil in Barbados where Irish women and girls were raped and everybody was over worked to death…and it was horrible and evil in Jamestown and Charlestown and everywhere else in America.
