    My family came to America because of. For 800 years, the Irish couldn't own land in their own country. 800 years!

    I saw a very short road in Ireland on which they found 4,000 dead most with green teeth from eating grass. The people were trying to reach the sea to get some food but they never made it and starved before reaching it by getting caught in a dead end area.

    We have professors from collages, main stream media, documentaries on tv only saying our people died because of the "Spud"
    not from families being thrown on the roads in winter to die from cold and hunger, high rents, if you helped your family member or neighbour , you and your family were thrown on the road to die also.
    I live in Donegal near Glenveagh, up to 30 years ago the local people use to say "at night" they would hear the cries (Wailing) of the women and children dyeing on the mountain roads. hundreds of them.. ghosts of the people.

    What makes me sad is that my late husband, 100 % Irish, supported the same sort of oppression here. When I said that his people were barely considered human when they came to the US, he said “Well we’re white now!” When you were talking about the Irish currently enjoy white privilege in the US, I thought of him saying that.

      Black and brown. He was a cop, although not when I married him. I would never have gone with him if he was. I grew up poor and the local cops terrorized my brothers and many of the local young people. Forgive me, but I found many of them frightening.

    It's great that you are educating people about the true story of the Irish famine organized by the British.
    I studied all the famines that took place under the domination of the British Empire and/or more generally under Anglo-Saxon domination, which means that the British model is and is still practiced to this day (in Palestine, Syria, Sudan, etc...), all these famines are artificial and knowingly organized, none have a natural cause.
    According to the latest university calculations, 500 million murders were caused by the Anglo-Saxons.
    People are absolutely unaware of this given that this tyrannical Anglo-Saxon power wraps itself in a virtuous narrative of human rights and is a champion of accusing other countries of the worst while this Earth doesn't has never known in its history more brutal, violent, murderous and more devious power than the Anglo-Saxons.
    This Anglo-Saxon calamity on humanity has lasted for 500 years to this day.

    No white people don't step back and listen to other people whine about being a victim, tell them to get over it, every race has been a victim, it's time to get over it & start looking forward!!! 🇺🇸

      I gave your comment a like because I agree to an extent.
      I can't stand that victim mindset. At the same time people need to stop calling it a famine so vids like this are good for clarification.

    And this is how most of my Irish ancestors came to the US. And the next generation who survived, could not find work, and so also emigrated to the US and Australia. The Great Hunger. But we were not here by choice. And were not welcome in the US. No Irish Need Apply was a real thing in the US. Now 3-4 gens down we still don't want to be here. But we are not welcome back if our parents or grandparents did not apply for an Irish passport that they qualified for. And this is also why many US citizens of Irish descent contributed to the war for Irish independence.

      Irish children got sht in the back by British soldiers, starting the Troubles. And like today it was a war of one religious group controlling the other. But they now weaponize racism instead of it as a religious group terrorizing the West.

      ​​@@pamostman516 Interesting. Why did they leave the home of (I presume) their ancestors to live on foreign soil at the request of a foreign monarch who had genocided their Folk?
      Why the giggling emoji? In the context that's odd.
