I Would Like to Talk (Civilly) About the Generalization of "White People"

Before Black and Native American Slaves, there was the Irish.
The Irish were owned by Whites, Free Blacks and Native Americans.
The Irish were super cheap compared to the Africans.

The whole slavery system was developed and perfected using Irish people by the time Native Americans and African's were added to it.

Irish were indentured servants.  That is nothing like the chattel slavery African Americans were subject to.  It was not based on race and the children of indentured servants were not slaves.

The whole story about "Irish slavery in America" is mainly white supremacist propaganda.  The "whole slavery system" was NOT developed and perfected using Irish people because the chattel slavery system involving African Americans was nothing like indentured servitude.
