    I'm not surprised they were considered slaves, but it is ironic that these people were willing to rape and mix their seed with the very people they enslaved. If blacks were subhumans like they claimed, you would think they wouldn't want to have sex with them, much less mix their noble bloodline with "animals."

    They didn't really consider black people subhuman, they just said so to justify their enslavement of them, which was for economic reasons.

    False. Several people who signed the declaration of independence were Irish.

    I doubt it. I met Puerto Ricans who claimed they were irish or scotch irish. Yet they look entirely tri-racial or have Spanish surnames.

    For many of them, I'm sure that was the case. But I'm sure there were some who genuinely believed the propaganda. Prejudice runs deep.

    Well, in the book Gone with the Wind, the family running the plantation was of Irish descent- however, it's possible that many Af. Am.'s with Irish names have Scots-Irish rather than outright Irish lineage.

    For the same reason than blacks in Central and South America have Spanish, French or Portuguese surnames.

    The more important question, why do blacks stop their auto in the middle of the street to have a conversation? Please park the phucking car somewhere.
