This will never work because there's already dozens and dozens of articles "proving" that the Irish Slave is a myth and a racist idea from neo-nazis and white supremacists.

"Claiming the Irish experience of indentured servitude was chattel slavery is a misrepresentation of history.

The eventual freedom given to these workers, and their relative rights, is a key difference in the experiences of white European indentured servants and black people in chattel slavery.

This is not to say that Irish people were not subjected to harsh, and unfair conditions from British authorities. But comparing this to the infamously horrific experience of Black slavery undermines the latter."

So as you can see, they weren't REAL slaves. Checkmate, bigots.
