Double post because the Forum is glitchy.

This is from another historian.

Robert Godsill (Letters, 11 April) is right to say that the connection between England’s rulers and slavery goes back...

Yes of course I know real Irish history. You obviously don't. Also please link me something where Declan Downey claims the Irish were slaves? I haven't even said anything about Declan Downey because...

Do not keep provoking me. Why do you think Irish historians and scholars would want to deny that Irish were slaves if it was fact? Why won't they put it in history books if it is actually fact?
...

I wouldn't believe a word you say when you are obviously spreading false history and cannot link any reputable site to back up that Irish were slaves because it never occurred.

Post some false...

Because it is patently false and it has been thoroughly debunked. I hate that people want to spread false Irish history. Of course your comment bothers me because it is a false history. Would you...

Another good article on the topic of so called Irish slaves. In the end if you spread misinformation how can anyone be sure of anything you say? It is always best to fact check and if you are wrong...

No that's not my historical source. I've looked into the Irish slave myth years ago when I first read about it on here. I was very surprised as I've never heard about it and it isn't in any Irish...

This has been thoroughly researched and debunked. This has been discussed numerous times on here alone. Possibly you don't have access to accurate history.

You might mean well but don't try to...

There is a very big difference between indentured servants and chattel slaves. Indentured servants entered into a contract for approximately 4 to 7 years. They had some legal rights and after their...

How is indentured servitude in any way the same as chattel slavery?

You are conflating indentured servants with chattel slavery. No the Irish and Scots were not slaves. Also most indentured servants English.

The Corrs not the Coors. You should get the name correct. You and Cristiano viejo are the only ones who keep calling the Corrs the Coors. Yes he did look Romanian and not Irish. Anyway we've...

I would bet he is half Romanian without a doubt. There are even Irish people with grandparents and great grandparents that are from places like Cyprus, Italy, Greece etc. There has always been some...

She is Australian but I was just giving her as an example of someone with a very Irish name that was half Thai. I knew in Ireland 2 girls whose mother was a French Egyptian and an Irish father who...

Well you posted some man with the first name of Florian which I'm positive would mean they were not fully Irish. He looked Romanian but you were posting him as fully Irish because he had an Irish...

I was born in Ireland but went to Australia as a child but went back and forth a few times with family so feel connected to both countries. Irish is my ethnicity so as far as genetics and what people...

There is no guarantee that someone with a very Irish sounding name is fully Irish anymore. I know a half Thai half Irish girl who has a very Irish first name and surname. You are just using excuses.

Well you can't be sure that the one you claim are Irish are fully Irish? There are darker people in all populations but some of the ones you post you have no way of knowing their background and...

Irish have a range of looks and colouring just like any other ethnicity. There are unusual types that you get in any population but I think posting the more atypical and not stating that it is...

I don't think it is a Germanic look. Mary McAleese ex Irish President has a similar look. Isn't it Keltic Nordid?

Irish eyebrows. :)

I can believe that she is fully Irish. I know some Irish with those type of looks. Some to them have a kind of pseudo-Asian look. She's very pretty. She has quite dark looking skin but I don't know...

To illustrate my point here are some random pictures from just using google and typing in Roscommon people.

Here are some pictures from first page of that search.

You can look here...

You post very atypical people and one of the girls in your pictures has obvious Asian heritage. The last three pictures are fine though but in the second to last picture one of the girls at the back...

It's more facial features and I would need their surnames as quite a few of them look obviously not Irish to me. My father is from Roscommon so I'm quite aware of what people there look like. It's...
