Worse, we were the Irish immigrants. Slaves were at least considered worth something, the Irish weren't. (Neither were the Chinese)

Not long ago my greatgrandparents and grandparents were under the British/ Dutch rule. My greatgrandfather was a doctor so he was treated with respect by the British, and he was chummy with the Brits, I guess that makes him a betrayer(to his own people).

Not Enslaved, but the Scottish were oppressed by the English.

I'm of Irish/English/Native American descent. My 12th great and further back grandfathers were southern land and slave owners. That kind of puts me in just about every category, doesn't it?

Not in the last 1000 years, at least.
My Scottish and Irish ancestors fled less than ideal political situations, but they weren't slaves.

Not exactly enslaved, but they were peasants in the old country and oppressed laborers in this country.

My family on my mother's side is Cherokee, and they were enslaved until about 4 generations ago; and my family on my father's side is French, and they were enslaved for a very short time by the Canadians.
