The âIrish slaveâ myth has been widely discredited - Full Fact
The myth is based on a misunderstanding of indentured servitude.

Next, the text of the majority of these posts comes from a 2008 article from a page on website “OpEdNews” called “The Slaves that time forgot.” It is unclear who the author John Martin is, and the article has no citations.
This is a favourite sport of the extreme right and I would suggest any of their dubious claims are treated as toxic. Propaganda masquerading as history mainly to downplay the effects of slavery.
Its like everybody in the world is at fault for slavery apart from those who, deep down, have no problem with it.
