US wanted 'Black Irish' slaves, too

Black Irish? Negroid Celt (HubPages)

Oppression of Irish was not limited to England; many were exported to the United States, where we exploited them for labor, called them "black," and relegated them to the lowest rung on the ladder and right out of the melting pot (or mortar Lady Liberty used her pestle to pound everyone else into one big All-American mash). Is it possible we (the USA) had Irish chattel slaves a decade before exploiting pre-African Black natives (in addition to all of the Indigenous "Red" American slaves no one seems to know about, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States), and African imports?

Don't go beyond The Pale, a safe zone

In the United States, the term "Black Irish" was initially used in the 19th century as a pejorative to derogatorily describe Irish refugees of the Great Famine [1].

This came after the potato blight when England was exporting all the food on the Emerald Isle to feed themselves -- because ALL famines are, in fact, manmade disasters of fearful hoarding and consequent skyrocketing prices (The phenomenon of famine - PubMed).

It later shifted into a term used to describe people of Irish descent who have black or dark-colored hair, blue or dark eyes, or otherwise dark coloring [2, 3] as scientifically measured by scientists doing scientifical stuff.

  US Black Irish just means American

  WHAT IS BLACK IRISH? The term refers to Black people who live in Ireland. But it is also a colloquial (common) term that refers to Caucasian people of Irish ancestry who have black hair—with noticeably black eyelashes and body hair may accompanied by pale skin and blue or green eyes, producing a particularly dramatic effect that is sometimes called "black Irish" like the American beauty Shannen Maria Doherty.

This meaning is not used in Ireland [1], where "Black Irish" more refers to Irish people of African descent [4].  The most common use of the term "Black Irish" is tied to the myth that they were descended from Spanish sailors [possibly during the Dark Ages when, according to British historian Bettany Hughes, Blacks ruled Europe until the Enlightenment] shipwrecked during the Spanish Armada of 1588 [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10].

However, no anthropological, historical, or genetic research yet supports this story. [Except perhaps the growing body of research, and that popular Discovery-like channel show, showing archeological/anthropological evidence that the first people in and around the Isle were Black, but perhaps that information is too new for Wiki to know anything about, even as it flooded mainstream U.S. media for a brief time.]

Some theorists assert that the term was adopted in some cases by Irish Americans who wanted to conceal interracial unions with African Americans, paralleling the phrase "Black Dutch" which was also used in the United States to hide racial identity [11, 12, 13].

Likewise, the concept of "Black Irish" was also used by some Aboriginal Australians to racially pass themselves into Australian society [14]. In the earlier parts of the 19th century, "Black Irish" was sometimes used in the United States to describe biracial people of African and Irish descent [9, 10].

By the 20th century, "Black Irish" had become an identity played out by Irish-American authors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Robert E. Howard. In 21st-century Ireland Black Irish is used primarily to refer to Irish nationals of African descent, and the alternative meaning is not commonly used. More

Interesting odd facts

It started with enslavement of St. Patrick - Don't call me Pete. It's mineral peat (coal). It's time to ban guns and Christianity or else. Who were the original "Aryans"? The Buddha's lineage comes from the region now called Iran (Ariyan), later called Persia, in the Buddha's time called the Middle Country (Majjhimadesa), referring to the Solar Race, as we read in Rhys Davids' translation of The Story of the Lineage (in his work Buddhist Birth Stories). Historian Dr. Ranajit Pal says the Buddha's mother was from Sistan-Baluchistan, now a region of Iran, and his father's family from Afghanistan (Kapilavastu, the capital cities one of which was Bamiyan, ancient Gandhara), Central Asia. The other country name related to Aryan is Ireland (Aryan-Land). Odd, no?
