The
first people of Ireland:
One
of the oldest texts composed in Ireland is the Leabhar Gabhla, the Book of
Invasions. It tells a semi-mythical history of the waves of people who settled
in Ireland in earliest times. It says the first settlers to arrive in Ireland
were a small dark people called the Fir Bolg, followed by a magical super-race
called the Tuatha de Danaan (the people of the goddess Dana) probably from
Africa. Then came the Fomors, another possible African type.
The
second wave: The Celts were not one people. Keltoi was the name the Greeks and
the Romans used to describe a series of barbaric tribes they encountered in
Europe. They were different people with different origins. Among them were dark
skinned Celts one would describe as Moors or today’s Africans. They settled in
Ireland with other types of Celts and Germanic peoples.
The
third wave: This was during the period of Christianization of Ireland. The
first Christians to successfully settle Ireland came from Ethiopia and Egypt.
The established the first fellowships, built the first monasteries, established
the now defunct Irish Othordox Church. That is part of why you have so many
Black Saints in Irish Christianity.
The
fourth wave came with the invasion of Ireland and Wales by the Vikings and the
Danes, I believe in the 8th, 9th and 10 century AD. These Vikings and Danes
were described as coming in two shades, black Dubhgall, and pale skin the
Fingall.
Then
the Moors came. Moorish Christians settled on the Island from Spain during the
7th to the 14th century. Some hid out there when their Spanish Empire fell.
Recall that in Spain there was Jewish, Muslim and Christian Moors.
Some
Normans who immigrated to the Island might have been Black people. At least I
know that in Scotland, certain families like the Douglass claim to have
migrated from Normandy via England. It is worth noting that the Douglass tribe
of Scotland was renowned for their dark skin, i.e. “the black Douglass”.
So
far so good that is what I have. I know that by the 14 century the English and
Scottish crown were pressuring Irelaand. By the 15 century, they were carrying
out land confiscation, slave raiding, slave/serf plantations and slave trading
in Ireland. This accelerated in the 16th and 18th century even to the
annexation of Ireland.
The
19th century was marked by massive expulsion of the Irish people from the land
via the use of biological warfare known today as the Irish famine caused by the
Irish potato blight.
All
these centuries there was a Germanization policy as well. To bleach out the
black Irish, or kill them or slave them, was the basis of various Royal
policies. Finally, after years of miscegenation, brainwashing and divide and
rule, in the late 19th century the left over Irish was admitted into the
so-called “white race” created in the 17th century via racist laws.
With
this admission they were given so-called white privileges, like blue collar
jobs, police, fire-fighting, factory working in the Americas i.e. Canada and
the United States. This supposedly was an improvement from the wretchedness
they had known under the British misrule back home.
They
were told they had to protect their newly won rights and privileges. Their job
was to check the other Moors now known as the so-called black people or Negroes
as designated in the Negro Code Slave Laws of the 17 century Americas.
The
sad part of the story was that they took this new role too seriously. They
barely knew better, after centuries of so much miseducation. They became the
most avid defenders of the racist policies of their masters. Their price was a
bowl of porridge and some crumbs of bread from the master’s table. While they
and their brethren suffer the consequences of their own racist selfish
presumptions and self-sabotage. It is now a generational illness.
