Comment on The Irish Slave Trade - The Forgotten “White” Slaves by Rhisi

I am Irish and I knew about Irish slaves already. I’m also glad to see that there are others who are aware of it. Schools teach false history (think of the word HIS-story; it’s just that.) I think it its important that we teach this to our children. I will certainly ensure my children know about this when they are older. I think some Irish are/will be ashamed of this part of their history (ie. earlier post by Ash). But what we SHOULD be ashamed of is how Irish people assimilated into the Anglo-Saxon Protestant White America of the 19th century and joined in with the oppression of African Americans to ensure their survival. (Google ‘How the Irish became white’. )I am deeply disappointed in this fact of American Irish history.
I hate it when I see an Irish person today being racist, when they have no clue about the possible suffering their ancestors endured.
Overall though, we need to stop all the hatred based on skin colour and remember we are all Earthlings. Peace.

I am an African American and I do not hate Irish people. However, I never heard of this story and it needs to be in the history books.I could never understand why Whites hate red heads ( I know all Irish peole don’t have red hair). When I see a red head, I see a white person with red hair ;however, other whites associate it with indentures servants.

I too shear the same sentiments but with some respect. I really think the Haitians that are having issues with this project need to stop being so negative and look at the bigger picture. No Haitian actors that’s minimal, no Creole dialog, minimal. the film is not shot in Haiti where it can employ a lot of Haitian people not so minimal but I can look beyond that. Sometimes you have to let go of something little to grab a hold on something bigger. And I do hope this project does very well at the box office. I will be in line for the 1st show and I will tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend E.

You speak of Simon Bolivar, but yet you call Chavez a dictator? Perhaps he is but Chavez, dictator or not is not the direct reason innocent civilians and young Americans are dying in Iraq for a false cause. So the begging questions is, if Chavez is a dictator what was George Bush Dick Cheney? Because if there were on the side of the righteous meaning God, come judgment day. Bush, Cheney and God should be co-defenders. Stop watching Fix Noise I mean Fox News. It bad for you, it’ll mess you up.

James Lachaud,

i understand your point about the creole speaking part. but truth be told you can’t describe color to the blind. the point of the project is to educate so sacrifices will, must and should be made.

Janrateng Skabeli,

if your interested in learning about Haiti and why America and it’s goons- i mean allies try to cripple Haiti, i recommend the book ,Getting Haiti Right This Time. the authors are Noam Chomsky, Amy Goodman and Paul Farmer. the book is basically a synopsis of what happen in the 2004 coup that was backed and funded by the Bush and Dick White house.
p.s. read Noam Chomsky. pick up anything that says Noam Chomsky.

your vocabulary is very limited and your facts are even more. Your entitled to your own opinions but you are not entitled to your own facts. Based on your limited vocabulary it would be fitting for you present Baby Doc in a topic like this. Next time you have something to contribute to a conversation , I suggest you also hold your breath for a 20 count and shut “F” up.
