Just think if we had the 1625 project made up of white people of Irish descent who wanted money from brokeback Joe Biden and the US government. I'm sure he would pay himself and Hunter millions of dollars from the US Treasury for reparations even though he wasn't born a Slave.
This youtube video is done by a History Professor. He goes back in History to the 8th Century when Vikings invaded Ireland and took slaves. This happened for centuries prior to the English coming in and taking indentured servants and slaves.
I was reading comments in the column that Irish Americans were talking to other people and being called racist for bringing up the topic that Irish were sometimes sold as slaves.

Actually LTC Eugene Chu it is true.
Fact: The "Irish" were rounded up and shipped involuntarily to the West Indies and the "English colonies in the New World".
Fact: Many were indentured servants, but many were also were slaves.
Fact: Irish were the largest source of slaves until the early to mid-1700s
"English shipping of Irish slaves to the New World earlier in the 1600s has been documented in many works. In 1612 Irish people were sent to the Amazon River settlements. An English Proclamation of the year 1625 urges banishment overseas of dangerous rogues (Irish political prisoners). Ireland was already a prime source of supply for servants and by 1637 on Montserrat the Irish heavily outnumbered the English colonists; 69% of all white people on the island were Irish."

I suppose your going to tell us that the teachings of the 1619 Project are all true, that the Revolutionary War was fought to maintain Slavery in the United States, that our Founding Fathers were all villains and that anyone who is White is inherently racist. After all, those are the favorite talking points of the far-left.

Capt Jeff S. I have seen the video where it shows officer standing around and the people are pushing into the Congress about 200 M away and this guy is pleading with them to do something and they just stand there. Yes, I think they were set up for failure and maybe it was a false flag operation to some respect because I do know that there were antifa people inside the Siege at least one of them who was talking on YouTube later. It was messed up but it's not anything like what a real coup would be that's why I say that F Troop did the coup. It's ironic how the mainstream media doesn't portray at the same way when there was burning buildings in downtown cities and yet they said it was mostly peaceful that's why I like using this analogy of Pearl Harbor if seen through MSNBC or CNN today.
That hasn't mentioned that the security walls were taken down and no real organization of The Limited security assets that were there.

Our current Progressives, Socialists, and Pinkos neglect to talk about all the slaves of different colors out there... even in current times. It doesn't fit how they want to destroy our current Constitutional Republic where everyone has rights. They only want a few to have rights.

We've already had a couple people who disagree with me and I just looked this up on the Potato Famine and even Indians from Oklahoma sent money to Ireland.

You don't want to acknowledge the slavery, they don't want to acknowledge the indentured servitude. That's why I was making fun of them saying that maybe Irish Americans including President Biden will try to cash in on reparations for something that happened almost 200 years ago. They will probably call me racist for it but I laugh at them anyway because I don't give a fox Trot about what they think!

I guess they don't like the fact that Irish could have been bought a slaves 10 years before the first african-americans. I don't wear it on my shoulder that I'm Irish and that I'm a victim. I don't walk around with critical race Theory that I'm the oppressed and at the British, early colonial americans, portuguese, spanish, ancient Vikings were my oppressors.
I just happened to see this on a Google or YouTube feed yesterday and I thought it would just be funny to rub it into those progressives who want to bankrupt California and others to pay reparations for those who don't deserve it because they weren't alive and we've had a few Democrat presidents who had the chance to do this but didn't do it but now it's opportune because it's a gimmick to get more votes at election time.
By the way, I went to JFK High School in La Palma California and their mascot was the Fighting Irish leprechaun.

I don't get the point of the whole video. Anyone who thinks slavery of all races and ethnicities hasn't played a role in civilization since the dawn of time slept through history classes........or attends a charter school.

SFC (Join to see) Charter schools are private operations that ONLY teach their agendas. Obviously reading, writing, and arithmetic are on their agendas, but many aspects of history aren't. Public schools are pretty much required to teach all history, quality can be debated, but exposure to history is what matters in education.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen SFC John D. Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth SGT Gerald “Jerry” Harrell SFC (Join to see) - There seems to be a bit of confusion about charter schools. I dug into them when I was looking for an alternative to the traditional "district" public school for my special needs child before (ended up home schooling, but still found out a few nuggets of info).
• Charter schools are not private schools, they are public schools. They are usually run independently of a local school board and function off of a 'charter' granted by the state for a number of years. They are funded with the same public tax dollars that traditional "district" public schools are (an generally a bit less as they can't tap into certain 'school district only' type of funds such as construction bonds).
• Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen is correct that they (usually) can teach their own curriculum, however (at least in Virginia .. can't say this unequivocally for all states) the charter school must meet the same standards of accreditation, quality and learning that all public schools have to meet*. Again, it might differ in other states, but in Virginia those Charter schools will have a requisite level of history that has to be taught just as in traditional public schools. However, they are not tied to a specific curriculum or teaching method - as long as they meet the same SOLs.
• If a charter school doesn't meet the standards (accreditation, quality and/or learning), then they can (and have) lost their charter to operate and can be closed down.
Bottom line (again, for VA schools .. PROBABLY is like this in other states, but I just don't know without looking at the charter for each and every state) is that charter schools have to meet the same goals as established for other public schools, but can pretty much make their own path in reaching those goals. Since they don't have a school district they have to 'answer to', they are much more agile in changing how they go about traveling that path or if they want to create a new path ... as long as they meet the same SOL goal.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen I never went to a Catholic or Charter school. I was born near East LA and good thing my parents took me to Orange County where I grew up in La Palma and I went to Cypress College and later Cal State Fullerton. Basic high school, basic Community College and just the average California University. Nothing special and I didn't owe 60 Grand in college loans.
