You sound like you got your ass kicked there. White trash Irish???? Nothing racist about that you asshole. Need I remind you the Kennedy's were Irish? Or that they marched in the St. Patricks day parades? Or the many good people that came out of Southie?

You are typical far left loony. You let the actions of a few decide your dislike for a whole group. That is fucked in the head thinking.

Charlestown and Southie are being sold out to the highest bidder developers. Nothing but condo's for hipsters going up. Displacing everyone. I doubt they could make a movie like that there anymore, that is how much it is changing.

"Southie" South Boston and Charlestown has always been home to poor white Irish trash who all subscribe to white supremacy and racism.
It's weird, they have that, small town "us vs the rest of humanity" mindset though they are all part of a big city.
I don't miss them whatsoever.

Did you live there?? I knew a guy from there & he really had a chip on his shoulder, for anyone~everyone......

Never really took him to serious but I have been hearing a lot of bad things about that place & the drug problems there that are now worse than ever.. Even w/out Whitey managing the flow..

Yes that explains it. There's the Irish Channel in New Orleans. Not a ghetto but old low income area of whites. Haven't been back there in a couple of decades but when I lived there they still had the neighborhood bars where you had to knock on the door to get in and the bouncer would open a small window to see who it was.

I knew a few when I lived there but I didn't really hang w/ any of them.. I think most of their grandparents came from Chicago??

Gentrification??

I know. Sad. The nice thing about cities for me anyway used to be the different sections. Different cultures, different restaurants, etc. That is all going over the side and I do not think it is a good thing.

Slavery and the Hollocaust are both stains on our societies but because we did not commit the crimes of the Hollocaust, slavery is our stain. 2,000,000, possibly more people died being transported to the USA, I have not seen the number of those that died once they arrived, but once here they were treated like livestock, bred, maintained and sold for value as labor.

Although the Hollocaust and Slavery were different in their nature, they are both atrocities and in no way be excused or trivialized by trying to say one is worst than the other.

Yeah, you're right. One murder is not worst than the other because one tortured and one did not.

:pke:

Rana can't get anything right, her 2,000,000 figure is bullshit. The real total was much nearer to 400, 000. The vast majority of slaves were shipped to places like Brazil.

The most comprehensive analysis of shipping records over the course of the slave trade is the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, edited by professors David Eltis and David Richardson. (While the editors are careful to say that all of their figures are estimates, I believe that they are the best estimates that we have, the proverbial "gold standard" in the field of the study of the slave trade.) Between 1525 and 1866, in the entire history of the slave trade to the New World, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America.
