    So I found out that my fathers last name Bradley comes from a Irish women in 1823 that immigrants here and changed her birth country to Alabama to hide her Irish identity. She was also married to a Irish prisoner when they came over. She was also labeled black and had a mixed household of black and white. I thought she owned my great great father but she was his mother and a teacher and he went to school in 1850s. Amazing history.

Upon much research I’m learning that the ppl with my last name lived in/near this geographical location for hundreds of years and also historically claim to be descendants of the “son of David” and just that bit of information alone made me look even deeper into the origins of my last name and I must say, I’m learning more than I thought I would’ve.

    I have a theory that the slaves of British colonies learned to speak English from Irish colonists, not British colonists. I say this because I am from the Caribbean and well aware of the accents of all the British colonies. And in my opinion I believe their accents could sound more Irish than British. I would like to hear your opinion.

I'm glad to see people are looking at the forgotten history between Irish and African people. I think there is so much good that we can learn from history. I don't know why this is not common knowledge and people try to debunk Irish people were slaves.

Those in the East of ireland(middle class) could have done more for the west during the famine in my opinion. The people of colour I know I quite proud of their Irish heritage.

      You're partially right, but you missed this point... (before) there was slavery everything was indentured servitude, then after Caucasian and melanated indentured servants started uniting against the upper class, the upper class the upper-class or ruling class started dividing people along color lines.. telling the Caucasians could be free if they went against the melanated blacks... the judicial system decided in a Virginia court case stated that blacks were going to be enslaved for life and could not buy their freedom.. slavery came after indentured servitude.. chattel slavery started in Virginia after the Court ruled in favor of the plantation!

      Correction:
      TRANSCRIPT
      On June 12, 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Virginia law banning interracial marriage. In the process, it invalidated similar laws in 15 other states. Here’s how it happened: On June 2, 1958, Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter traveled from their home state of Virginia to Washington, D.C., to be married. They returned to Virginia as husband and wife. On an early July morning, police broke into the couple’s bedroom and arrested them for violating a Virginia state ban on marriage between a “white” person and a “colored” person. Richard was white, and Mildred was Black and Native American. The state defined “white” as someone with, quote, “no other admixture of blood other than white and American Indian” and defined “colored” as someone, quote, “in whom there is ascertainable any Negro blood.” The Lovings went to court for a hearing, and they pleaded guilty. They were sentenced to leave Virginia and not return as a married couple for 25 years. Richard and Mildred moved to Washington, D.C., and from there they challenged the Virginia anti-miscegenation law. Though a state court rejected their challenge, the Lovings’ case made its way to the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals-which ruled that the statute could stand as it applied “equally” to both Black and white people. In 1967, almost a decade after the Lovings’ arrest, the U.S. Supreme Court finally heard oral arguments for their case. The resulting decision was unanimous. The Lovings’ conviction was reversed, and the Court affirmed the freedom to marry as “‘one of the ‘basic civil rights of man,’ fundamental to our very existence and survival.” Virginia’s statute was stricken down, as were similar racist laws across the country. Richard and Mildred’s marriage was now legal in every state-and all other American interracial couples, no matter what state they were in, now had the freedom to be married or to have their marriage recognized in states where it had been illegal.

      @@jgg59 What are you talking about? The Irish were chained like animals and in fact, Irish slaves were thought of as disposable. African slaves were considered much more valuable since it involved greater effort to obtain African slaves than Irish slaves, since British ships simply had to briefly stop off at Irish ports on the way across the Atlantic to pick up Irish slaves. This was particularly so during the reign of James I. African slaves were worth 4 times the value of Irish slaves. Sickens my arse how people are trying to rewrite history. Cultural marxism at its finest. Just watched a ridiculous video on UA-cam that claimed that black Americans came from Ireland and Scotland but that whites have written them out of the history of Europe. Unbelievable.

    I know that Europe was very diverse in the 1500s to 1700s and that people of color lived in European places like Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany and England. They were sent by Cromwell to the colonies as either prisoners of war from the Jacobite Revolutions or as indentured servants (not slaves). They worked on the plantations in America and Caribbean and were able to gain freedom after a time as they were not labeled “Negro” from Africa. Because these people of color (Blacks) came from Europe and not Africa, they were classified as White on the US immigration forms. Moors were also classified as White even though they were dark skinned just as were Jews, Celts, and others who were deported from Europe. Often times children of color were sent to the colonies to work from Europe as part of an indentured contract. The White classification had nothing to do with a person’s color. So when the history books talk about White settlers, it could easily be a person of color that is being talked about. What happened in 1924 is that the US government redefined the White status to now only be based on color of skin and not the country of origin.

    These Irish placed in indentured servitude were Converos. Hidden Jews forced convert to Catholicism, sold into Virginia and then Montserrat. They’re Swarthy Europeans, passing. In Montserrat they married amongst Africans brought over from West Africa. My Great Great Grandfather Jamison was a free farmer from Montserrat who was shipped to Mississippi with his family at the age of 9. Jamison is Irish. The Mandika made up 33% of the slaves taken to Montserrat and were farmers that were born free in Africa. The Mandika are known descendants of King Solomon. These are simply The Northern and Southern Kingdom of Israelite practicing indentured servitude and chattel slavery as they have Gentiles forcing them to convert as usual.

    The more historically accurate term is "indentured slave" Did the indentured so called

    In fact, the Catholic indentured slaves, were less valuable than "slaves" and were treated
    more harshly in many cases because of their "worth" was not as valued as the slave.

      The Irish are actually the whitest people in Europe! - along with the Icelanders, they are the most Aryan people in Europe (See: Son of Manu).
      In contrast, the British were colonised by Anatolian farmers
      (See: Mass Migrations into Britain in the late Bronze age).
      - Then by the Romans
      - Then by mixed-race Anglo-Saxons! (See: Daily mail Updown).
