My pleasure. I should also note: There is a Reuters 'fact-check' article about 18 days old that says the information above is not accurate. The hobby historian (no PhD to speak of) who 'debunked' the Irish slave trade is a hardcore leftist whose focus is attempting to discredit histories wherein people of British, European or Slavic origin suffered. Why? Whether it's a conscious or unconscious decision, he seems to want to extol incommensurability and to prevent blacks and whites from finding common ground. The left wants, in the words of Offpsring, to keem 'em separated. Anyway, the guy's a full-on ideologue. Judge for yourself, here's his Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limerick1914 The essay stands.
That was interesting, I did not know that. Thanks for the post.
