Oh BOOMER! the garbage you are trying to plant in peoples minds IS A LIE!
Wikipedia has THIS TO SAY ABOUT YOUR LIE - backed up by New York Times::::
"The
Irish slave myth is a
pseudohistory that falsely conflates the
penal transportation and
indentured servitude of
Irish people during the 17th and 18th centuries with the hereditary
chattel slavery experience of
Africans."
A person in those old days might become an indentured servant in one of several ways:
Firstly - over an unpaid debt - with the debtor being ordered by a judge to work off the debt for a period of years!
Secondly - simple bankruptcy - in which a very poor man WOULD SELL HIS LABOUR as an indentured servant in exchange for food
and shelter for a time period in order to avoid STARVING OR FREEZING on a street corner1
The welfare state WAS NOT well established in those days!
Alternatively one might be ARRESTED for a variety of crimes such as smuggling, stealing arms and ammunition which we KNOW
was a favorite Irish habit even up to these modern times as IRA gunmen could attest; or arson for burning hay ricks or barns; being a
career criminal could also get you sold into indentured servitude for a period of time simply because English judges of that time
period DID NOT practice the hug a thug ways of modern LIE-beral judges - thus a career criminal would be "transported" to some
isolated British Colony and forced to labour for a period of time in order to PAY THE CROWN for the cost of shipping!
As long as the indentured servant did not steal from his owner; did not beat his owner; did not vandalize his owners property; did not
run away into the bush and hide and refuse to work - thus forcing the owner and his allies to mount a time consuming search for the
fleeing felon - usually on horseback and using dogs for tracking etc - the felon would EVENTUALLY BE RELEASED in exchange for
services rendered!
History - meaning WRITTEN RECORDS from the time - tells us that some indentured servants worked through their term without
TOO MUCH TROUBLE!
Others who were drunks or gamblers or habitual thieves or who simply had the BAD LUCK to be bought by a bad master
WOULD HAVE A ROUGHER TIME OF IT!
The lesson is just as valid for 16th century Irish peasants as it is for Cdn Sovereign natives - if you do not want legal troubles
THEN DO NOT DO THINGS THAT GET WILL YOU ARRESTED - like that native chief who was recently in the news simply because
the knucklehead could not be bothered getting new license stickers!
English and Irish have been fighting FOREVER and BOTH sides have committed atrocities!
I am reminded of a DISGUSTING NEWS article out of Ireland from some years back - cops in Londonderry found the body of a
woman who had been missing for over 30 years!
Long ago the woman had heard a commotion at her front door and opened it to find a dying Brit soldier laying there in a pool of blood
from gunshot wounds - and the dying man asked her for some water - which she gave him and he drank a little
before bleeding to death!
And the woman was SEEN offering aid to the Brits - so one fine night some IRA guys KIDNAPPED THE GOOD CATHOLIC
MOTHER OF SIX LITTLE KIDS and she DISAPPEARED into the night!
But the cops finally found her body 30 years later - buried in a potato field - with a LARGE CALIBRE PISTOL BULLET
IN HER SKULL! AND ALL OVER A GLASS OF WATER!
Oh yes the brave sons of EIRE have struck some GREAT BLOWS against the hated Brits!
The only REAL BEEF the Irish have is that the ENGLISH WERE SMARTER AND WON THE KEY BATTLES!
You INSULT YOUR OWN HISTORY with this "Irish Slave CRAP"!
