    Irish slavery is a myth and talking about it is rayciss..

    Comparing The Irish To African American Slaves Is Prejudiced

    The Irish-as-slaves meme promotes a racist agenda.
    A meme circulating widely equates the enslavement of millions of Africans in the Americas over many centuries with the experience of Irish immigrant laborers, stating that the Irish too were enslaved. This supposed connection is intended to suggest that many other groups suffered in the past, and therefore the African American experience of slavery, racism and marginalization has no particular claim to our empathy.

    Some estimate that there were just as many Irish slaves as niggers. The Irishmen were a different tier, though. They were often on seven year contracts, so THEY were the ones whipped, beaten and abused. Nigger slaves, on the other hand, were property for life and therefore treated much better.

    In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women (in many cases, girls as young as 12) to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls with African men to produce slaves with a distinct complexion. These new “mulatto” slaves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African slaves. This practice of interbreeding Irish females with African men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish slave women to African slave men for the purpose of producing slaves for sale.” In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company.
