Frederick Douglass' connection with Ireland
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2020
- 175 years ago, Frederick Douglass arrived in Ireland. Just seven years after his escape from slavery he wrote his memoir and hoped to connect to a nation's people who supported his cause. That legacy is something his family still celebrates. Michelle Miller reports.
"When I stepped off the boat, I was not a 'Free' man, I was just a Man."
"Discovering how we are more alike than we are different," really sums up the goals of anti racism movements across the globe. What a wonderful story with surprising facts on Mr Douglass
Damn, I KNEW there was some reason I am so drawn to Irish music and Celtic spirituality!
Gotta fulfill my dream of living there for a few years...

Any time we will welcome you with open arms
you see all those responses? Irish folk will love you, no matter the mix...even if you ain't got our blood...c'mon in for a cup or a drink!
My dad grew up in Ireland and emigrated with his family at age 17. He often compared the treatment of black and brown people in America to how the English treated us.
The british liked INTERNMENT CAMPS IN KENYA and IRELAND.
@@tuforu4 Not just those two countries. Many more.
@@timlinator the Mau mau and ira were similar.
Was it a skin color issue? Were you guys illiterate to where you couldn't read or write?

Frederick Douglass was so taken aback by how vehemently against Irish-americans were to the abolishment of slavery, given their history of being opressed in the States, only for him to go to Ireland and be treated such with a level of respect and sympathy by the native irish that would never have been given to him by Irish-Americans. I understand why Irish people feel the need to tell Irish-Americans that they are not Irish.
Only problem with that stamens idle the Irish Americans were actually Irish. They immigrated to the US and during the riots of 1863 targeted blacks.
@@johnbattle7518 thats true but what they are trying to say is when they emigrated, in order to integrate into society they were often forced to change some of their values. Obviously not in all cases but unfortunately it did happen.
I’m so proud to be Irish American I just wish people wouldn’t judge me and automatically think I racist because I’m a white Irish male
With the collage education and main stream media content in this day and age good luck.
From a black dude.
There is no such thing as 'racism'
@@22grena There literally is
Where there is suffering, the sufferings of others are heard and understood
Bless him good man 🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
I was assigned this for school!!!!
His granddaughter clearly resembles him.
They should play this on jumbo tron at Quinnipiac University and the TD Bank arena
Feeling blessed and happy
He reminds me of Luke Kelly in the last photograph
Mister. The kids of Dublin still call grown men mister
Thanks Michelle Miller - lovely reporting. I think all this is become better known in Ireland today. Important that it is known - with racial hate gone global we need reminders like this. Not without 'incidents' but so far no racist, no Far Right party doing 'well' in Ireland but there is need for 'eternal vigilance'. Muhammad Ali had one great grandfather born in the West of Ireland -it was only later in life he understood it was a consensual relationship and was welcomed warmly to a place where he had ancestral roots. On a humorous footnote, I read somewhere in the old days a union between an Italian and Irish immigrant was considered an inter-racial marriage!
What happened to my comment that l just typed in. It was in regards to the poor quality of the voice on the Frederick Douglas
Video, which came from CBS morning show. I could hardly hear it, nor could the people l sent it to. I have a good smart phone, please fix the problem l am on U-TUBE. Thank you ever so much.💚💛
Someone should read Mr Douglass works to the North Irish
Irish are Irish
The ulsters in particular.
@@columbannon9134 you're right of course, if you're born on the island of Ireland you're obviously irish thats simple irrefutable logic, but go ahead and say that to unionists, see how that goes down.
not only north 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@David-cb1ct well old PAISLEY their LEADER brought his skills from RED STATE EVANGELICALS university to wreck havoc by the BIBLE on the IRISH.
Look up what he did and how he treated his first wife Anna Douglass who was the person who got him OUT of slavery, he ended up moving in his 2 WHYT mistresses who mocked her in her own home….Anna was the one who financially supported the entire family and built the house that they lived in.
It’s nice that Trump is finally recognizing Frederick Douglas’s accomplishments. (Sarcasm)
For the algorithms✍🏽
So why is this the first time I’m hearing of this ? All my parents are from Ireland dad right from Galway. Told me of the Irish need not apply signs. There were also Irish slaves in America. The British are still not held accountable as to how they treated the Irish. Bloody Sunday. For ex
Ask ur dad about the Scottish/ Irish MASONIC PUPPETS. 🤐
It's denied that there were Irish slaves now, too. They were just indentured servants, is the line.
@@matthewatwood8641 And indentured servitude is distinct from chattel slavery. They are different forms of labour exploitation, with vastly different life implications. It was not indefinite, not inherited as a point of law. And indentured servitude was wretched, and part of a wider oppression -- we don't need to go to equate it to slavery to strengthen the claim to recognition; that claim is strong enough as it is.
This is not the thing to fuss over. I've never heard anyone acknowledge that distinction because they were trying to deny the historical oppression of the Irish. But what I have seen is this idea being used to try and diminish the grievances of black Americans today, and I'm not fond of being used like that. I'm not accusing you of this, but it's a reason why I'm especially wary of the equivalence being made. It's already bad just for being factually wrong, but even worse now that random Americans on InfoWars have got ahold of it
Densel hasen't aged well
Fredrick Douglass Republican ✊🏿🇺🇲
Iris republicsn
I suggest that you look up how he treated his first wife Anna Douglas..they didn’t mention that while he was overseas with his WHYT mistresses she was supporting the family back home financially and that she was the person who smuggled him through slavery with her money. Her brought his mistresses to live in the home with them and they made fun of her; he ended up marrying one one of the WHYT mistresses after his wife died.
We are not victims we got on on with our lives...Stop this woke crap
There is bigotry everywhere, then and now, but history matters.
Nice story.
Agitate...!
It ain’t right it sounds about white
@@whiteicenotnice1872 if you’re gonna make those kind of statements at least get you’re spelling correct 😂😂😂
Let's just not mention the NYC riots of 1863.
Densely haven't aged well
Unfortunately Ireland did not stay the same. It is just as racist as every other country now. Nostalgia is nice but Ireland and all countries are deeply deeply oppressed right now and we should really be talking about HOW to do what he did. Fight Oppression and not sit around loving an Ireland that doesn't exist anymore. (From: a woman who is Irish and has melanin in her skin.)
It’s the right wing nationalists that are bringing racism into Ireland
What does being Irish and have melanin in your skin have to do with anything?
Little news flash. You say it's just as racist as every other country. You know it's been like that since the start of mankind right? Never going get away from racism but we need to end the negativity racism. No one should be judged on the color of their skin but as the content of their character. Come on I played bball for my whole life and there was so many times I'd be at the park and I would watch others get picked infront of me, who were not nearly as good just because they was black. Racism goes both ways . I been called white boy on the court so many times, most I'm saying 99 percent of people I have hooped with have respect. They be like damn white boy can play. That's cool I don't take offense but when someone says white boy cant handle me or white boy ain't got no game I find that offensive because if I said what he said to me but Instead of white said black boy I had been labeled a racist. Again most I have played with they show respect since I know how to play but there is always one knucklehead in a group. Just like we always going have one bad cop even though most are good, which I don't think most cops are good it's just an example. I think most cops are bullies among other things and I would say 1 out of every 6 cops is a good person
There’s still slavery in Africa, every country ravaged by colonialism is struggling
Every country and every race contains idiot's among them they are the tiny minority.
Wow. What BS...
How
Um no it isn't
All the info here is real
How is it b.s., because it doesn't fit the version of history you've bought into?
That first person being interviewed is not Irish 😂
The one with the English accent? That's Christine Kinealy. True, she was born in Liverpool, though that's a very Irish city as far as British cities go. However, her father was from Tipperary, her mam was from Mayo, and Christine herself was educated in Trinity College and carries Irish citizenship. She does have the right to call herself Irish to be fair.
If a British dog was born in Africa, does that make that dog African??? Lol hahaha smh u guys are crazy cross pind wit dat delusions perpetuated by English disgraced all there biggest stars n athletes are all orish blooded from Wayne rooney to irish gypsy tyson fury whose dads from tuam galway Ireland n mom from derry Ireland......u egitz
@@ansionnachbeagrioga5260 Well said and proof people are too fast (and stupid) to judge others by a quick glance.
@@ansionnachbeagrioga5260no she doesn't half breeds aren't one ethnicity they're two ethnicities and just because she carries Irish citizenship does not mean she's Irish, my dad was Irish my mom was American that makes me Irish American if I obtained Irish citizenship it doesn't make me an Irish woman.
@@karensback You're American and I'm indigenous Irish so between the two of us I think it's only fair if I consider myself the more of an authority on who is or isn't Irish. She has both the Irish parentage, on both sides, so I don't follow the logic of calling her a "half breed", and she has fully engaged in both her heritage and the culture of modern Ireland. She even taught Irish history in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. She is, in every way, ethnically Irish. You are right that citizenship doesn't make someone Irish by itself but I meant that to be taken alongside the other points. And even if she only had one Irish parent, one Irish parent is enough. We have many well regarded Irishmen who had one foreign parent. Michael Fassbender is half German, but still Irish. Paul McGrath is half Nigerian and born in England yet you'd struggle to find any native Irishman who'd deny his Irishness. Same with Phil Lynnot. One foreign parent, birn in England, still regarded as ethnically Irish and a proud Dublin man. You do not need two Irish parents to be considered Irish. One is enough but a person also has to be a part of the land and culture.
Shitlib revisionism ftw
