The Brits just cashed out the slave owners looking back on it we might have been better off just writing a massive check
Except Brit slave owners didn't have shit like the Fugitive Slave Law or control over large chunks of the nation.

The South would never have accepted just getting paid to end slavery; they wouldn't accept anything less than being able to spread their poison all the way to the Pacific, which is why we had to push their shit in to free the slaves and still had to deal with the Klan and Jim Crow till the 60's.

If the Irish government says she's Irish, she's Irish.
That depends, is Ireland a nation state or a state? Ireland has historically fought to become a nation-state, a state in which the border contains and is controled by the nationality which comprises the country. In that sense, there is a distinction between being Irish and being an Irish-Citizen. Just like how many people in the US claim to be Irish despite never having set foot there.

You're actually going there?

We fought a Civil War over that issue which killed more Americans than all other American wars combined.

We solved that issue. Slavery is illegal, and there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
That's a pathetic and cowardly response.

If the government declares you a slave, do you accept that declaration? Or do you reject it?

You got any proof she isn't Irish, besides an assumption regarding skin color?
There's no need to be obtuse. The Irish are a European people.

She may have a piece of paper that says she is an Irish citizen, but that cannot make her Irish. Much like a piece of paper declaring a male to be female does not make him a woman, merely a lying pervert.

Well if that's how you see it, we can consider your birth cert just a piece of lying paper, when you are obviously a walking, talking pile of used of Klan robes.

When people can't accept that something massively obvious, like race, is real, there's something wrong.

When people can't accept that the Govenment, any Govenment, can lie? That's just nuts.


As for this woman, in the picture? She's not ethnicly Irish, but if she was raised just right, she might be cultuarly Irish. But, most likely? She's nether, and her only real connection to the older Ireland is govenment fiat.

Ireland does not grant jus soli citizenship. That's pretty much universal in North and South America and the exception, rather than the rule, everywhere else.

That's a pathetic and cowardly response.

Declare me a slave and I will reject that declaraction and fight to the bitter end. No quarter will be asked for or granted during that fight because it would have been illegal for my wife - she is black - to even be in her birthplace prior to 1926.
