I recently finished reading an article where Irish people were rounded up and sent as slaves to the new world. I am talking hundreds of thousands. Often they were treated very badly as Irish slaves were treated badly versus black slaves which were more expensive. It became the norm to force breed Irish and black slaves to reduce the expense of buying new slaves. It's a part of history that is not normally known.
I know about that I have Irish blood from my black families side with some Scottish as far as I understand the Scottish blood was from the slave masters side(I don't think I have to explain that)
The Irish blood came later and was more willing and was due to close business relations that lead to much more but Irish slavery was a thing.
There was also those who chose servitude but it all depended on who you served some could be ok and let you go when the time came others not so much it's one of the reasons why most Irish got to keep their heritage while blacks didn't have that luxury.
Should people be entitled to free shit just because they are born?
