Where's *my* $5 million?
Many ethnic groups were treated horribly. Whites were even slaves, and cost much less than African slaves, so white slaves were treated very to badly because they were so cheap to replace if they died. It is claimed that there were as many white slaves as black slaves, and when you look at the enslavement of ethnicities fro. Foreign countries herein the us, one can easily see that while man6 were not “officially called slaves” they were infsct slaves
Irish slavery in the ‘New World’ PRECEDED African slavery in the New World. James II, Charles I, and Oliver Cromwell sold 10s of thousands of Irish into the New World.
Irish slaves were far cheaper than African slaves. As such, an owner could abuse or outright kill an Irish slave with very little economic damage.
So if we’re talking reparations, I think perhaps we should start with the OGs first.
And since my ancestors were much less expensive than my African brothers in slavery, I’ll settle for $2,000,000.
