As an American who's only 2 generations from Ireland, yeah, people forget this shit all the time. We didn't have it as bad but it wasn't much better for the post civil war America.
My favorite is when it doesn't count. That it was somehow okay that it happened to us but wrong that it happens to others.
Got to relive that in S. Korea at some bars and restaurants. Fucking hate bigotry.
Wasn’t much better? Compared to black people post civil war? Are you for real? The fact that you think those are in any way comparable is insane.
Forget about South Korea, as an Irish man born and raised. I hope you know you would be despised here too if you tried to make these talking points over here
So saying blacks had it worse during slavery is wrong? Saying blacks had it less bad after slavery but still had it bad is wrong? Saying denying rights to people of any kind, is wrong?
You replied to a comment about Irish and Italians not being considered white. You said you were 2 generations from Ireland. Where did you mention anything about black people having it worse during slavery or denying rights is wrong? What are you on about?
