Or they try to compare indentured servitude (how many Irish and other nationalities paid for their passage to America back then) to chattel slavery (generational, no end). Yes there was some similarities but to say they were the same thing is like saying cats and dogs are they same because they’re both pets. That one always gets me.

Just because there was no Irish slavery in America doesn’t mean it didn’t happen,the vast majority of deniers are those who benefited from the exploitation of the Irish.Gaslighting is a common occurrence when this subject is discussed,massive media and political institutions both downplay the importance of certain elements of world history,while inflating others.
For those of us who are critical of the contemporary world,this is nothing new. And yet the lengths the worldwide media has gone to try erase the exsistence of Irish slaves is truly shocking.For the sake of argument I won’t consider the barbaric practice ‘Indentured Servitude’ as a form of slavery just like Anglo interlocutors.
While my belief that this handicap imposed on me by our so called ‘intellectual’ class is an unjustifiable one,borne largely out of anti-european hatred, it is nevertheless a handicap i can live with.
Irish slaves have existed in one form or another since the genesis of Irish as an identity. Just a few examples,slave caste daer fuidhir,Vikings and their thralls,Barbary corsairs,Ottoman Empire etc
In conclusion, the Irish were most certainly slaves and any attempt to say otherwise is blantantly false.There is more to history other than American history but thats all that seems to matter.
Irish slavery is being used against ‘white’ Americans as a weapon and has nothing to do with Irish people at all.
Ultimately, the very same people who are descended from those who exploited this Island for centuries are now using that very history to subdue another group.
