Will Whites really be a minority in the USA by the year 2050?

[JosephK]

OK, here we go... in my little city, the demographics for 2020:

White: 89.00%
Asian: 5.98%
Black or African American: 2.16%
Two or more races: 1.87%
Native American: 0.54%
Other race: 0.44%

From today's newspaper, regarding low reading and math skills in 3-8th graders: "About 40% of the district’s 5,000 students are non-white."

'nuff said?

We don't know how either (1) all slaves or (2) all indentured servants were treated. Obviously there is a "distinct difference" in the definition, which is why there are two different words, but Richmondbread was making a point that is often now disregarded, apparently deliberately.

He is falsely saying that Irish and Slavs were slaves when they were not. Indentured servants were English, Scots, Germans and other groups. Irish weren't the largest amount of Indentured Servants. Many of the poorer European that came to the US could only get their passage by being Indentured Servants. So why single Irish and Slavs out for being slaves? You have to use the correct terminology as well as slaves in most people's minds would be chattel slavery which is what happened to Africans brought to the US. It's obvious he meant to imply chattel slavery for Irish and Slavs which is BS.

It really annoys me when I see this stuff posted because it's BS. Why do people want to post something that is untrue? I would also check before posting something. I remember when I first saw this stuff on here and I was incredulous because I've never heard of it from any Irish person or read about it in an Irish history book. I emailed an American Historian at Trinity College in Dublin and they said there was no cases of Irish slavery. I've looked into it a lot more since then because it comes up every so often. I find it really bizarre along with the stuff about Irish not been seen as white. Anyway I don't want to go on too much of a rant. It's just bizarre.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from being on these forums, it’s that the true scholars are incels who live in their parents’ basements, and that we should listen to them rather than any well-respected professor, historian or other academic. You should tell the professor at Trinity College to pack it up and bow down to the intellectuals on here.

Sarcasm aside, props to you for making connections. I’ve interacted with a few historians and it’s always fun to exchange ideas and learn more information.

I thought that Cromwell enslaved Irish people before he shipped them to the West Indies. I doubt that it was just a holiday vacation cruise to Montserrat.

We get the word "slave" from the Slavs who were slaves. The Irish were slaves as well. St Patrick of course was a slave, even though he was born in England, he was considered an Irish national.

[Richmondbread]

There is a distinct difference between chattel slavery and indentured servitude. The original claim by Richmond was that the Irish were "enslaved", not whether Irish were downtrodden or not.

They were not indentured. Some were, but Irish were sold into slavery. This goes back centuries. And we know for a fact that Slavs were slavs as well.

[Richmondbread]

Irish or Slavs were not enslaved unless you are talking about Vikings. Irish enslaved people as well in the past. No need to spread untruths as if you do people will not take what you say seriously.

Where does this Irish slave myth come from?

You're quoting the SPLC? The Southern Poverty Law center, which is a known communist organization? You are citing leftist sources . Sure, no bias there. According to the Negroes today, they were the only ones ever oppressed. Never mind they sold their own into slavery and slavery continues today in many African countries. You don't even know what Irish people look like.

I was genuinely surprised when I first read it on here. Not only that but I got very aggressive opposition when I stated it was not true. I can't work out the rationale of people wanting something like that to be true. Possibly victimhood and also some people want to use this false slave narrative to belittle what happened to African-Americans i.e. the Irish were slaves as well so what are you complaining about? Irish of course had their problems in the US but they also had terrible treatment in Ireland due to Ireland being controlled by Britain. Irish were looked down on for being poor and Catholic but they didn't have the obstacles that African-Americans had. To say otherwise is just revisionist rubbish.
