Re: Chinese-Canadian Biker, 83, Demands Formal Apology

How is me paying for something I had nothing to do with "correcting an injustice?"

And just so you know - Irish people were slaves too and so were a lot of different cultures here in the U.S and around the world. Some still are!

Yes in America

But you never answered my question - Why do I have to pay for something I had nothing to do with?

Re: Those were Brits not Americans.

My choice bro… is to MOVE ON and make sure things are handled correctly today - that is my choice.

Did you even read that link? You said it never happened in America - that link shows you otherwise:

"The Cromwellian (i.e., Puritan) government in Ireland gave the slave monopolies to good Puritan merchants who then sold on to other good Puritan merchants in the Caribbean, Virginia, and New England."

"Massachusetts witch trials was an old Irish slavewoman"

And further down it mentions 5 white Irish slaves as part of the "1741 ***** Conspiracy" in New York

All four of these are in America and that is just the first few paragraphs

Now can we please get back to motorcycles?

Re: However time to pay up..

You said America not the United States

Seems to me England should be paying they are the ones who started bringing slaves to America

Re: 100 years of free labor + interest

You give it back to them and anyone else that thinks like you....

Neither I nor my ancestors had slaves and I do not think I should pay for YOUR family’s bigotry and ignorance
