Nobody discussing repatriations for Irish slaves.  Why is that?

In the early 17th century 30,000 Irish slaves were sold to the New World (America).  Yet nobody is interested in opening a repatriations discussion for this segment of the population that involves my people.  This - is racist.

CNN and Yahoo have news articles about 'Black Gun Owner Associations' - why is nobody pointing out how racist this is?  If I started a 'White Gun Owner Association'  people would loose their minds.

Congress has a 'Black Caucus'.  If someone started a 'White Caucus' people would be screaming bloody murder.

We have 'Black Lives Matter'.  But I cant wear a 'White Lives Matter' shirt - that would be racist.

It wraps my guts in a knot every time I see a row boat or canoe..... they should all be burned and destroyed!  I cannot help the pain!  Reminds me of my people - slaves to Norsemen - forced to row until dead.

Where is the equality?  Where is the justice?  Why are all the people denouncing racism the biggest racists we have?  Where's my check?

    There were no Irish slaves.  At least, not in America.  There may have been some indentured servants.  Slavery and indentured servitude were two totally different practices and states of being.

    If you study the history of slavery in the world, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery#History)

    you will learn that

    nearly every race and heritage and civilization was, at one time, or is currently 

    under slavery, 

    i am part Irish, Welsh, English and Scottish, I am a mix, 

    I also have a small hint of American Indian in there somewhere, 

    I know that Irish people were made to be slaves, just as well as the Welsh, along with nearly every other human of every heritage in existence on the planet. 

    So, if you're talking "reparations" you have to stop and think 

    where are these "reparations" going to come from? 

    In my opinion, let's go to the top of the food chain. To the ones who really own us, to the families who own the global banks and the world economies and the UN......

    THEY are the ones who have been holding the lower and middle class citizens under oppression SINCE THE DAWN of time, regardless of a person's heritage. 

    Right now, billions of humans are living under tax and wage slavery.

    So, yes let's fight for reparations for our African and black brothers and sisters, 

    And yes, let's fight for reparations for our Irish and Welsh brothers, uncles, cousins and aunts......

    But, we have to go to the TOP. We have to topple the REAL SLAVE OWNERS. 

    We have to take the power back from The Bilderbergs and The Rothschilds! The ones who buy and sell governments like it were a chess game.

    There were never any Irish slaves in the Americas.  There were some indentured servants who's master paid for their voyage over here, and they had to work for so many years to pay it off, but no Irish slaves.

    Fact check: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020...

    And even if they were slaves, DID THEY FACE RACIAL SEGREGATION?

    NO.

    AND MIND YOU, THAT PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE FUTURE OF THEIR COMMUNITY

    Example, the son of a white slave could pretend that he had a normal father and get a job from a white easily

    WHICH BLACKS COULD NOT DO

    You're not supposed to discuss White Slavery in America. The only thing you're supposed to think is that only Blacks have been slaves and only Whites enslaved them, and thus Whites are forever indebted to Blacks and have to be genetically destroyed as a folk in the process of trying to repay a fake debt to Blacks.
