Yes.

You were erect over the threatening letters to synagogues. Then it turned out to be an emotionally disturbed Jew. It wasn't a Trump supporter that would have given you the political climax you wanted.

People like you thrive on this stuff and get emotionally invested in being the victim and the perp being who you want it to be.

"We have to get thicker skins and not worry about silly things such as this."

A little late for that. We've got hypersensitive these days. Do you think that an "All in the Family" or "Sanford & Son" would play to todays folks? I think not. We've forgotten how to laugh.
I'm an Irish-American. The Irish were victims of fierce discrimination back when we fled Ireland during the famine, mostly because it was a WASP/Protestant country we came to back in the 1800's.They thought of us as diseased hooligans with pagan like religeous rituals that were to be avoided.
Point being, Another St.Paddys day came & gone with its traditional showing of "The Quiet Man". That movie sends up every Irish stereotype that ever was. Does the Irish-American community jump up & down, screaming like little pussys demanding that the movie get pulled? Straight answer, no. They'd want it repeated!
We've learned to laugh at ourselves. No big deal. Its a shame that other ethnic groups forgot how to laugh at themselves.

The Irish are not an "oppressed" group.

A group needs victim status to be able to complain.

The Irish Shore are an oppressed group! They even had signs Irish need not apply for jobs, and, the Irish were the first slaves in North America and the Caribbean but, like Jim says, we don't give a shit about that, we can laugh at ourselves and we realized the past is the past. And let's not forget about the Paddy wagon!

They indeed were. Read up on some Irish History, like how the Brits let the Irish starve in the streets during the great famine. They would send whatever crop was harvested in Ireland & sent it back to England. There you will find your "victims". Google "Know Nothing Party" & learn how the oppression & discrimination of the Irish was widespread, not just in the NYC area, but in the rest of the country. Read "Angela's Ashes" or books by T.J English. Much to be learned about the Irish expierence there.

I am just saying that paper does not refuse ink. I could find a bunch of articles that claim that the Holocaust never existed. Do I believe it? Of course I don't, but those articles are out there none the less and because of these articles, there are people out there who actually believe the Holocaust was a hoax.

You won't find them in a New York Times article quoting legitimate historians. Facts are facts, either there were Irish slaves or there weren't. There are no legitimate sources that say there were. Even without the Times article, it is unreasonable to believe in the myth.

With the Holocaust, it's the opposite. The events of the holocaust are well attested. There are numerous eyewitnesses.

Well obviously there's no Irish that are still around from the 15 and 16 hundreds. The Irish, along with convicts, were the first invention servants, and then slaves in the New World and Australia. But Australian really did not have a slave Society like we did. I don't know why it bothers lots of people when they can't hold the victim cards and victim status' all to themselves

Bill is using the word "slave" to refer to an indentured servant.

Using that definition, the Irish were sometimes slaves, because they were sometimes indentured servants.

Of course, the breadth of his definition is absurd.

You are. Irish were only indentured servants, which is nothing the same at all. You claimed that indentured servants then became slaves.

"There is no evidence whatsoever of Irish slavery."

I too never heard or saw any credible evidence placing Irish & Slavery in the same sentence. However, I've seen Irish & starvation often in the same sentence, espeically between 1840 & 1880 in the old country. They would have been better off. At least slaves were fed.

Because as we all know, being discriminated in employment and being marked for complete extermination are moral equivalents.

The English try to exterminate the Irish. And I'm not minimizing the Holocaust, that is your trick to try to get me to be quiet about it. And in case you haven't noticed now, I couldn't care less about how it reflects on me or not. I still have my own opinions and I will stick by them. But if you want to know my opinions? Fuck the Potato Famine, fuck the Holomador, fuck The Killing Fields, fuck the Holocaust, fuck slavery. It's 2017, it's time for mankind to move ahead and leave the past where it belongs. This is my opinion.

If the neo-nazis talk about that, it's because they are just pointing out a historical fact. It doesn't mean all the Irish that talk about it are neo-Nazis. That's not how this works. The Irish and the Irish Americans have been talking about this for a long long time, wait before these other groups that are sprung up. And if they close they talk about it, that doesn't mean it's automatically a taboo subject or somehow wrong.

Yawn. Some people call it "slavery" that they have to work at a desk from 9 to 5.

If you insist on using a word in a way that it is not customarily used, and that's your justification for your argument, then you're just hopeless.

LOAlM!

I find stories about slavery in the Roman Empire interesting.

Why? Because the slaves got fat during the fig season.

I'd say 99% of Americans would not know that the Romans had slaves. Most think slavery existed only in one form.
