Irish are 'the forgotten white slaves’ claims expert The history of the African slave trade into the Americas is well-documented as well as largely taught in American schools today. However, as John Martin of the Montreal-based Center for Research and Globalization points out in his article ‘The Irish Slave Trade - The Forgotten ‘White’ Slaves,’ it was not just Africans who were traded as slaves. Indeed, the Irish have a gruesome history of being traded as slaves as well, and subjected to similar and sometimes worse treatment than their African contemporaries of the time. Strangely though, the history of Irish and ‘white’ slavery is by and large ignored in the American educational curriculum today. In his article, John Martin writes “The Irish slave trade began when James II sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70 percent of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.” “Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.” Martin writes how at the hands of the British, the Irish population plummeted due to the slave trade of the 17th century. “During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, [Oliver] Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.” Martin goes on to explain that for some reason, the Irish slaves are often remembered as ‘indentured servants.’ However, in most cases during the 17th and 18th centuries, they were no more than “human cattle.” “...the African slave trade was just beginning during this same period,” writes Martin. “It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated Catholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts.” During the late 1600s, writes Martin, African slaves were far more expensive than their Irish counterparts - Africans would sell for around 50 sterling while Irish were often no more than 5 sterling. The Irish were further exploited when the British began to “breed” Irish women - or girls, sometimes as young as 12 - with African males. “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 breeding 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. Martin concludes, “In 1839, Britain finally decided on it’s own to end its participation in Satan’s highway to hell and stopped transporting slaves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded THIS chapter of nightmarish Irish misery.” Click here to read John Martin’s article ‘The Irish Slave Trade – The Forgotten “White” Slaves’ in its entirety. - http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-irish-slave-trade-the-forgotten-white-slaves/31076 ---- http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/irish-the-forgotten-white-slaves-says-expert-john-martin-188645531-237793261.html --- interesting read.

<cite> @DoctorKenney said:</cite> Maybe it's because you anger and annoy everyone you meet online. (Me, Tallaabo, Tillamook, others) And you creep out anyone you meet in person (Safferz) I guess human interaction isn't something you're very good at this is virtual bullying. you can't say things like this. i will not hesitate to report you.

<cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> Barwaaqo, sister thanks for your input. On your last paragraph you are correct. I was needling(yarre Durayey) our Yiroowe friends who are very sensitive of criticism. Aamin Aamir, who leaves few blocks from my house, said that when he writes a cartoon about Xirsi and company , his mailbox and telephone are always full of insults. Tilmook, Saaxiib in normal circumstance the sitting President always leads the party for any re-election. Now Ina Biixi want to defeat Siilaanyo. that is why the list matters. an insider told me a huge compensation of cash is in the works to silence him. wE SHALL SEE. Dr.kenny, yes sometimes a new blood is needed for the party, but this guy Ina Biixi is undetectable. A large segment of the Population considers him a renegade or warlord. He has never been elected to any thing for twenty years. prove that a ''segment of the population considers him a renegade or warlord...''? sources? evidence? xaqishooyin? of course, i shouldn't be surprised that you'd make smear campaigns against abti Musa. he is finally right. -
<cite> @Safferz said:</cite> I was in Hargeisa for a week, and I'm sure it's no surprise that I did not want to see you. ok. why didn't you tell me?

Amal Farah: I rejected Islam, so my family think I should die
Alpha Blondy replied to Admin's topic in General
Amal Farah is rageedi. this is what happens when you educate women. they think they can do what they want. ya u sheega she is in fact foolish. her attempts to denigrate our ways and in the process gain some fame and notoriety is pitiful. she is dead to us. she is a gaal. on a side note, it's no wonder lots of Somalis are converting to gaalo. in North London, where i grew up, they're recruiting like mad and Sunday morning service is always full. balse ya u sheega these gaalo folks, no one cares for their corrupt, violent, evil and backward religion. it's only important if it helps with speeding up the housing list. couple of my friends are now gaalo, a few others are gay and Amaal Farax got airtime and 5 mins of fame, y'all. nothing else. -

for the disgusting Koonfurians, Somalilandiidist folks and Dr. Kenny who think they can salvage some brownie points for their crude and ill-informed speculative wax-la-yidhs from the grapevines, insofar as this ensuing and on-going drama is concerned, please isku xishooda. your analysis is not impressing anyone. and for the man with the naasa waweyne who goes by the name Titsamook, wax isku fal. it sickens me you continually insults folks on this site. name calling is a sign of profound insecurity and low self-esteem ee adna sida uula soco bakhtiyahow. -

at least Somaliland isn't included in this list. my friend from Cabudwaaq was saying just last week that domestic violence is common place in Somalia, which apparently, makes it difficult for mothers to raise their children. he also alluded to child sacrifices and child prostitution. considering the potentiality of truth in his remarks, i wouldn't be surprised if there's more worrying practices in Somalia that's disgusting, ruunti.
