Irish people were enslaved and put to work on sugar cane plantations in the West Indies. I have never had anyone here mention it in conversation, much less express generational trauma.
As a man born in Ireland, I could spend the rest of my life focussing on how terribly my ancestors were treated by the English.

EXACTLY, the victimization slavery narrative is hurting POC. The shackles of the 21st century are their minds. It is a choice to be empowered or oppressed. There are way too many resources for the cycle of poverty to continue.

In Ireland we are so beaten down that we allow globalisation to be the new English.

We’ve become so beta that we dream about the alpha men of the 70’s .... our paramilitaries are more involved in the drug business than any culturally significant ideological goals.
