Ireland and the Black Atlantic: Hidden Histories of the Irish Abroad 

I saw another RU-vid documentary on this subject, and thought the same thing. When I hear the Caribbean accent in my head, I now hear the Irish inflection.

@@sabeenie21 I've seen documentaries that allude to meeting somewhere in the middle. White Irish servants and convicts, as well as black or brown slaves. Following a Caribbean community that occasionally mixed in different ways.

I agree with that...you can hear many of the words they both use sound alike..its not a british accent..the british went around the world enslaving people and calling it christanity..it bugs me..there were no sickness or diseases in Hawaii til the british showed up..it was paradise..but im ramblin anyway yeah buddy i believe you and totally agree..my last boss i had was jamaican at a textile plant i worked at super cool and chill guy he looked and talked like denzel Washington haha..but im from southeast TN i have irish and scottish ancestry and some dutch and english but i noticed some of our words sounded alike it was a real trip to hear us conversate

@@sabeenie21 thanks!

@@darkprague1334 YW. On a journey of healing and wholeness, and quest for truth is a part of that. Good luck!

I’m finding out there are as many truths as people and their viewpoints. If only life were simple, black and white, and unbiased.

@@karmayt8956 that part.

@@karmayt8956 if this were to happen we wouldn’t be considered humans anymore. bias is apart of human nature.

My my last name not only leads me back to Scotland but also to the actual geographical area the ppl with my last name originates from. Upon much research I’m learning that the ppl with my last name lived in/near this geographical location for hundreds of years and also historically claim to be descendants of the “son of David” and just that bit of information alone made me look even deeper into the origins of my last name and I must say, I’m learning more than I thought I would’ve. Question though, have you looked up your surname/family crest in Ireland?

There is a lot of hidden history that they hide from people ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p0GBjwlnf1c.html

It's true. When you listen carefully to Caribbean speech communities it is amazing how much Irish and Welsh remains, not just in terms of speech but also genetically and culturally.

That is so offensive, aren't so called Whites a colour also? It's all BS, created by the devil, the deceivers, 1759 Johann Frederick Bumberbach, created race, no mention of race b4 the 1500's nobody is White or Black, we are different shades of Brown not Black or White, everyone has melanin meaning Everyone has fully Melianated ancestors including you John Bull I'm English through and through types

White people don’t know how to tell the truth

Correction: TRANSCRIPT On June 12, 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Virginia law banning interracial marriage. In the process, it invalidated similar laws in 15 other states. Here’s how it happened: On June 2, 1958, Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter traveled from their home state of Virginia to Washington, D.C., to be married. They returned to Virginia as husband and wife. On an early July morning, police broke into the couple’s bedroom and arrested them for violating a Virginia state ban on marriage between a “white” person and a “colored” person. Richard was white, and Mildred was Black and Native American. The state defined “white” as someone with, quote, “no other admixture of blood other than white and American Indian” and defined “colored” as someone, quote, “in whom there is ascertainable any Negro blood.” The Lovings went to court for a hearing, and they pleaded guilty. They were sentenced to leave Virginia and not return as a married couple for 25 years. Richard and Mildred moved to Washington, D.C., and from there they challenged the Virginia anti-miscegenation law. Though a state court rejected their challenge, the Lovings’ case made its way to the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals-which ruled that the statute could stand as it applied “equally” to both Black and white people. In 1967, almost a decade after the Lovings’ arrest, the U.S. Supreme Court finally heard oral arguments for their case. The resulting decision was unanimous. The Lovings’ conviction was reversed, and the Court affirmed the freedom to marry as “‘one of the ‘basic civil rights of man,’ fundamental to our very existence and survival.” Virginia’s statute was stricken down, as were similar racist laws across the country. Richard and Mildred’s marriage was now legal in every state-and all other American interracial couples, no matter what state they were in, now had the freedom to be married or to have their marriage recognized in states where it had been illegal.

Who wrote this book and when was it written?

That would be the British "science"..... The reality is that: the "Anglo-Saxons" were mixed race! - and that the Irish (along with the Icelanders) are the most Aryan people in Europe! (See Son of manu).

Actually it does when you transported Irish Indentured servants the conditions were terrible. But they were not chained like animals like the Africans on Slave ships. When the Africans had children they were chattel slavery and that was it. Indentured servants children were not indentured. They had legal standing as indentured servants that’s the reality

you just cant stand the truth and that's all on you.

@@jgg59 YOU NEED TO DO MORE HISTORY....THEY WERE SOLD INTO SLAVERY ALSO....AND..UNDER BONDAGE

@@MD-cd7em Yes person with no identity I understand exactly what I’m talking about and the nuances of history. Thanks for sharing

@@jgg59 What are you talking about? The Irish were chained like animals and in fact, Irish slaves were thought of as disposable. African slaves were considered much more valuable since it involved greater effort to obtain African slaves than Irish slaves, since British ships simply had to briefly stop off at Irish ports on the way across the Atlantic to pick up Irish slaves. This was particularly so during the reign of James I. African slaves were worth 4 times the value of Irish slaves. Sickens my arse how people are trying to rewrite history. Cultural marxism at its finest. Just watched a ridiculous video on RU-vid that claimed that black Americans came from Ireland and Scotland but that whites have written them out of the history of Europe. Unbelievable. Gave me a giggle though. Apparently, according to the idiot who made the video, Oliver Cromwell was actually black 🤯

He's inaccurate.

@@Kitiwake about what please explain ?

You're partially right, but you missed this point... (before) there was slavery everything was indentured servitude, then after Caucasian and melanated indentured servants started uniting against the upper class, the upper class the upper-class or ruling class started dividing people along color lines.. telling the Caucasians could be free if they went against the melanated blacks... the judicial system decided in a Virginia court case stated that blacks were going to be enslaved for life and could not buy their freedom.. slavery came after indentured servitude.. chattel slavery started in Virginia after the Court ruled in favor of the plantation! This has been researched and documented!!

bull indentured servitude is a scam to cover the fact whites where slaves

The Irish Indentured servants were Black people transported from Ireland!!!

Us Celts aren't black you racist Bantu. The Moors weren't black either.

To my knowledge, there is no account of people of African origin living in Ireland/Scotland in gaelic literature of that time. Yet there is endless account of invasion by Norse, Vikings Normans and finally the English! I would love to know where this myth started?

@@fromireland8663 That's because there isn't.

@@patrickfitzgerald3055 jacobite clans were black aboriginals for the most part. They were shipped to the colonies by Cromwell as prisoners of war. Well documented in books and shipping logs.

@@fromireland8663 check out the book “Jacobite Gleanings from State Manuscripts: short sketches of jacobites, the transportation in 1745” to start and you will see that these jacobites clans were people of black and brown skin color.

I was always curious about “dark Irishmen”. Very complex is life. Much lies, much bias, much competition.

Quinn, Finnegan and Carter. Proud names, and I’m proud of them and the history behind them…

@@patriciacarpenter2788 You're not Irish you're a West African.

Good for you!

You could be an English Collins!... - the so-called Anglo-Saxons were mixed race! An African was found in an Anglo-Saxon burial ground, near Updown, in Kent, England. (See: Daily Mail Updown).

Dublin Dub is Black

Dubh=black 🧐

The Irish are the most Aryan people in Europe (alongside the Icelanders) - that is, they are the most White! (See: Son of Manu).

@john Patrick, no, Most of the Aryans aren't particularly white in skin color. The only peoples who are both Caucasian and Aryan are Ossetians, some Kurds, Tats, Talyshes and Mountain Jews.

Truth. How is it on a Island full of streams, trout, salmon, etc. Fowl, Hare, Rabbit, Deer, fruit trees, grain, other vegetables..... that the natives couldn't eat any of this?

@@elizabethryan7772 Do you have any thoughts on the Great Famine and it becoming a Genocide of Convenience that the British used to their benefit as in the building of roads etc?

They were treated worse? Did they endure chattel enslavement for a lifetime? Were they considered by law less than human? Did the enslaver birth children from their women only to enslave them (the children) as well? Did they have laws against them called black codes as well? Did they endure peonage enslavement well after the 13 amendment so-called abolished slavery? Did they go through a jim crow era? Did they have multiple whole communities (like Black Wall Street) bombed and terrorized or drowned out like the town now covered by Lake Lanier in Georgia?

@@daughterofdiaspora I have it documented by my Irish Slave Ancestor that he was kidnapped by Cromwell at 10 years old! He was from a wealthy Noble family and could read and write! He was NOT indentured as his family was WEALTHY. He was born in 1645 and kidnapped in 1655 by Cromwell. He was SOLD to a ship captain by the name of Joseph West. JOESPH West was a well known slave transporter who was a Governor and Got fired for transporting Indian slaves! He was sold to Joseph West at Kinsale Harbor. From there West took him to Barbados and sold him to a SLAVE OWNER...John Meeks. who also owned My Nigerian Slave Ancestor. He was made to work the Sugar plantation of Meeks until he was 17. Then Meeks took him and My Nigerian Ancestor to Maryland to BREED them! They borded that ship in the fall of 1662. And thanks to his recording it all we now know who are Nigerian relatives are in Africa. They live near the Niger River in Conakry Guinea Africa. And I visited them in January 2008! Thanks to My Irish Ancestor! That is where my Profile pic was taken!
