In the United States, the term "Black Irish" was initially used in the 19th century to derogatorily describe Irish refugees of the Great Famine [1] [a manmade event the British wrought on their hated neighbors].
It later shifted into a term used to describe people of Irish descent who have black or dark-colored hair, pale skin, dark or light eyes, or any other dark feature or coloration. This meaning is not commonly used in Ireland [1], where "Black Irish" more refers to Irish people of actual African descent [4].
The most common use of the term "Black Irish" is tied to the myth that they were descended from Spanish sailors shipwrecked during the Spanish Armada of 1588 [5][6][7][8][9][10] that came to attack England. However, no anthropological, historical, or genetic research supports this story.
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. More
America’s tallest man — a 7-foot, 8-inch former Virginia law officer, actor, and Harlem Globetrotter known as a “gentle giant” — has died at his family home North Carolina, officials said. He was 67.
George Bell, who had striking roles in “American Horror Story” and in AMC’s “Freakshow,” was a beloved former Norfolk Sheriff’s deputy known for his “kind and fun-loving personality,” former co-workers said Wednesday.
Steven Quayle (stevequayle.com) is a fanatical Christian who speaks frankly about his discoveries in Mexico and around the world. He has concluded with absolute certainty that giants existed in the past, exist now (not as big), and are reemerging, that is, being brought back by government experimenters who seek to create "super soldiers" using recovered DNA from the Afghan "Giant of Kandahar," Native Americans [and possibly the tomb of Sumerian hybrid King Gilgamesh], and other recovered samples.

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
TRUTH about the Irish - First slaves brought to the Americas - Forgotten History
(FORGOTTEN HISTORY) Feb. 13, 2023: ✪ Members first on Feb. 9, 2023: Slavery is perhaps one of the oldest profit-making endeavors in human history, and the Irish islanders were a special target for a thousand years, persecuted by one faction or another, to include enslavement, status as serfs and servants, and indentured servitude. But were they the first slaves in the Americas? Find out here. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. The Forgotten History Channel is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

What if you can't feed your slaves? A Modest Proposal
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?

The northern European wasteland (Lapland) of Scandinavia, the least desirable piece of Europe, was originally populated by Germans (a.k.a. the native Samis), who as Vikings ("Pirates") did what they could with it until they reached maximum success by domesticating cows and killing fish? So they left to trade, raid, and invade others to prosper. Hearing their sagas say they were originally from Kerman, Iran, they traveled the Volga River, visited, and found an advanced Persian/Arabian culture they wanted to imitate? These were the "Aryans" (Iranians) the Germans thought they should be or were meant to be or originally were? So they returned and made Scandinavia and the best place to live and nearby Germany (Kermany) the Aryan (Iranian) capital (because the Nazis found this story appealing)?
The City of Kerman (which gives us the word "German") was founded as a defensive outpost, with the name Veh-Ardashir, by Ardashir I, founder of the Sasanian Empire, in the 3rd century AD [8].
After the Battle of Nahāvand in 642, the city came under Muslim rule. At first, the city's relative isolation allowed Kharijites and Zoroastrians to thrive there, but the Kharijites were wiped out in 698, and the population was mostly Muslim by 725.
Already in the eighth century the city was famous for its manufacture of cashmere wool shawls and other textiles. The Abbasid Caliphate's authority over the region was weak, and power passed in the tenth century to the Buyid emirs.
We've come to kill and rape this this culture, but don't
call us "invaders" because no one is "native" anywhere
The region and city fell to Mahmud of Ghazni in the late tenth century. The name Kerman was adopted at some point in the tenth century [9].
Under the rule of the Seljuk Turks in the 11th and 12th centuries, Kerman remained virtually independent, conquering Oman and Fars [10].
When Marco Polo visited Kerman in 1271, it had become a major trade emporium linking the Persian Gulf with Khorasan and Central Asia [11].
Subsequently, however, the city was sacked many times by various invaders. Kerman expanded rapidly during the Safavid dynasty. Carpets and rugs were exported to England and Germany [Anglo-Saxons loved rugs?] during this period [12]. More

Leif Erikson: The First European in North America
Hi, we're here to rape and pillage
(Viking) Thanks to a rhyme we were forced to learn and repeat in grade school, many Americans believe that Crypto-Jew (Converso) Cristobal Columbus first discovered America in 1492, after sailing the ocean blue. But what if it were an Irish monk or Viking Leif Erikson who sailed the seas serene that were aquamarine?
This Viking Cruises® video chronicles how, nearly 500 years before the debt-ridden Italian (Jewish Spanish) explorer sailed the Atlantic, a 25-year-old Norse navigator named Leif Erikson and a crew of 35 men set sail to explore the seas west of Greenland.
Scandinavia is a cold subregion of Northern Europe where the native Sámi peoples live in the Xmas lifestyle or reindeer, shamanism, and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Viking = "pirate"
When Erikson arrived on the shores of what he called “Vinland,” he became the first known European to set foot in North America.
The Vikings knew about the Buddha: The "Helgo Buddha" Treasure
The great Guru Viking, a modern seeker with a podcast on audible.com and elsewhere.
.
Helgo Buddha is a Viking treasure indicating world trade
Helgö is an island in Ekerö Municipality in Stockholm County, Sweden, situated on the lake Mälaren. The island's greatest width is about 0.9 mi (1.5 km), it is about 3.1 miles (5 km) long and covers 119 acres (48 hectares). Excavations are ongoing on Helgö.
The island is perhaps best known for a major archeological area. The old trading town on Helgö began to emerge around the year 200 AD, 500 years before Birka at Björkö.
The Helgö Buddha
The first archeological dig in 1954 uncovered the remains of the early settlement, including a workshop area which attracted international interest. The most notable finds included a small Buddha statuette from North India and a christening scoop from Egypt, both dating from the 6th century.
The Indian Buddha statuette, the Irish crozier [1], and the Egyptian Coptic scoop found on Helgö are presently on display in the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm... More
ABOUT: Narrated by Viking Cruises Senior Vice President Karine Hagen, this short film traces Erikson’s history and his voyage into immortality. The son of intrepid Viking explorer Erik "Erik the Red" Thorvaldson, (Erik's son =) Erikson led the historic journey from Greenland to North America through uncharted waters without a compass. Although the discovery was celebrated for centuries in Norse legend and stories, many doubted the accuracy of those accounts. Doubts about Erikson’s discovery were finally dispelled in 1960, when modern-day explorers Helge and Anne Ingstad identified a Norse settlement located at the northern tip of Newfoundland that dates back to the exact time of Erikson’s voyage. In the United States, the achievement of the Viking explorer with adventure and exploration in his blood is commemorated every year on October 9th [when Greenlander, Neo-Nazi, and Norwegian Americans rampage quietly in their bedrooms and online]. Viking Cruises cherishes its Viking heritage and connection to seafaring visionaries like Leif Erikson. Karine Hagen of Viking River Cruises is our host. Learn more at vikingrivercruises.com
Were Vikings Buddhists? First of all, Vikings is a general term that means "Pirates" more than redheaded Icelandic peoples. Second, what would it have taken for them to be Buddhists?
They would have had to understand the language of the Asians with whom they came in contact. It is more likely, given their reputation, that they raided rather than traded.
The Buddha was Indo-Aryan from Central Asia (the "Middle Country" [between East and West, called the Majjhima-desa in the texts) with a mother from what is now part of Iran (formerly Persia), below his home country of Gandhara (in a Scythian region that is modern Afghanistan), according to maverick Indian historian Dr. Ranajit Pal: Amazing “Viking” treasure featuring gold, silver, and a vase is from IRAN may not be VIKING at all
Archeological discoveries indicate contact with Asia and knowledge of the Buddha, which they would have seen as the "Light of Asia," the "Prince of Peace," a massive figure in the ancient Orient.
That they traded in Asian wares suggests that they knew what they were dealing in, seeing significance in the beauty of figurines and pieces of advanced art from that part of the world.
There is a Viking Buddha, and now we find a ten-year-old piece is actually a much older work of art from Asia found in Scotland.
Viking Guru, the Great, on Audible podcasts
Interestingly, the greatest Viking today is a Buddhist or in any case very friendly to Buddhists. He is the interviewer known as Viking Guru, who has repeatedly interviewed British Buddhist teacher Beth Upton and others.
