It makes a great quote, but nope.

picture is wrong..
There were Scots and Irish sold as slaves.

Scots
"There were hundreds of thousands of Scots sold into slavery during Colonial America. White slavery to the American Colonies occurred as early as 1630 in Scotland.
According to the Egerton manuscript, British Museum, the enactment of 1652

The judges of Edinburgh Scotland during the years 1662-1665 ordered the enslavement and shipment to the colonies a large number of rogues and others who made life unpleasant for the British upper class. (Register for the Privy Council of Scotland, third series, vol. 1, p 181, vol. 2, p 101)."

Letters II: As many as 100,000 Scots were sold into slavery​


"It was the Stuarts who introduced the Irish to the slave trade. Charles II returned to the throne in 1660 at a time when it was becoming clear that sugar plantations were as valuable as gold-mines."

Irish
The numbers taken as slaves must have been huge as, according to the Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series, America and West Indies of 1701, we read of there being an estimated 25,000 slaves in Barbados, of whom 21,700 were white. The fair-skinned slaves were known as Redlegs or Redshanks by the locals because of their sunburned flesh.

The Irish slave trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as slaves to the New World. The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600’s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.

I too want my reparations as an Englishman, when the Romans invaded (43AD) (pay up Italy), Scandinavia, mostly Denmark, during the Viking raids (8th Century AD), Norman Conquest (1066AD) (pay up French and Belgium), lets not forget that Germany never paid its war debt (we want that too).

Great Britain hasn't been invaded since about 1066AD, but the above with compound interest should be OK.

Are you denying that there was white slavery in North America?

My grandfather, who is/was Irish, told me as a child about how the Irish were treated when he was a child. "we were a half step ahead of the black man" is what he stated. he also told me about working in the factory as a child and how his own father took the cat o' nine tails to him at said factory. Upstate NY, Oswego to be exact, is where he grew up. The Irish had it pretty bad a century plus ago.

We don't order a ton of stuff, but this a pet peeve of mine. You're calling the people in the house lazy, while you toss, throw, and drop their packages that they purchased, which provide you a means to make a living.

Who's lazy? Don't like you job? Quit, go get another one. Fuck these people, I hope they all got fired.

Agree 100%. I leave shit reviews on delivery constantly. Especially for my office. Nothing like leaving a $2600 spare part outside. Driver signed for it. No one in my office did. I found it at 3 am the next morning.
