I’ll be sure to rethink my entire existence because some random internet loon compares me unfavourably to Diane Abbott.

 

 

SD had the most valid point imo. Racism in the form of antisemitism happens to white people in this country on a daily basis.

Holy fucking shit

What about Irish people who were shipped off as slaves in the 1600-1700's? Is their plight not acknowledgeable because they're white?

That's not strictly true though.

Do people honestly think Jews are discriminated against because they’re white?

Nah. He's saying that because they're white, they don't think they can be discriminated against. Meaning, it's okay, they're white, you can't be racist against whites.

It strictly was true. Indentured servants were slaves.

There's a big difference between indentured servants and chattel slaves.

Well, that's what SD was saying I think. That he thinks those slinging antisemitic terms around think it's okay because they see the targeted Jews as white and inherently believe they can't be racist against them. I disagree with Stronts. I think those being antisemitic are doing it because they're hateful shitbags who dislike people because they're Jews. I also think many of those being called out for antisemitism clearly aren't.

The Irish slaves were hereditarily treated as slaves, ie their children were treated the same.

[SasaS]

According the Whiteness Studies theories, if I remember correctly, the Irish had to earn their whiteness status by being extra racist to black people, before that they were not considered properly White.

The Matrix and the Archons are equal opportunities oppressors. Skin colour don't mean shit to them.

The difference between Abbott and someone like Boris Johnson is that the former had the good grace to apologise and seems to have modified her behaviour the more she has moved into the public eye.

I agree. Just blown away by the stupidity of that take, and what it insinuates

I know the history of the time period. Indentured slaves were slaves. They were owned by the slave owners in the same way chattel slaves were owned. The indentured servitude could be extended easily in a court of law by the owner. They were SLAVES and the children that were born to them were also slaves.

Look for anything on Indentured Servitude being extended in America during the 1600's. Look for the Sugar Plantation Irish slaves in the Caribbean. Read about the laws pre-Jamestown.

I've just given you a load of sources claiming it's a myth.
