Issac Kappy's Death & may Issac Kappy's Soul Mission be Shielded from Negative Energy +++

See the source image


Issac Kappy was an actor who came out exposing some hollywood names without any solid proof.  There is evidence compiled on Jamie DLUX channel exposing pedowood.  Many brave Folks who use social media to expose the lies that are woven by mainstream media.  May They all be blessed and protected+++ Yes, i do believe in the Rainbow Warriors for it is a Prophesy with hope.  My blog that presents the Native American Prophesies is @ https://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2017/03/may-rainbow-warriors-make-earth-green.html






Kappy experienced horrendous gang-stalking, and his Twitter, as well as other social medias were shut down.  Furthermore, no-one ever sued him for false allegations.

Kappy presented the idea of survivor stories, but few people took advantage of the situation.  Next, i am gonna present some stuff that i googled.  

strange the the death occurred on route 66...  those people believe that shit they do...

Isaac Kappy Jumps To Death From A Bridge!

On Monday on May 13, 2019, a man took his life by jumping to his death from a bridge in Arizona, which was later confirmed to be Isaac Kappy by the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
Reportedly, Isaac jumped from the Transwestern Road Bridge near Bellemont, Arizona onto Interstate 40. The officials confirmed that he was even restrained from jumping by several bystanders but couldn’t stop him from killing himself. He was later struck by a Ford pickup truck.
Twenty-four hours before jumping off the bridge, Isaac posted an ominous and lengthy Instagram post stating he is not a good guy and had been abusive to people who loved him.
Well, on his final Instagram post, he paid tribute to ‘Q Movement’ and apologized for disgracing the greatest military operation of all time. He referenced death claiming to have 'betrayed' Donald Trump and Jesus.

light does NOT mean goode with the Cult of Aton @ https://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2019/05/light-does-not-mean-goode-with-cult-of.html


i am just gonna present some stuff that i typed on youtube, next.  As i have real life stuff to do.

hmmm???

  whatever human faults he had, he meant it when he stood for the children...he said his spirit told him to come out & as a psychic i believe him on that ... Jamie DLUX has videos about pedowood that are more evidence... this is something that is hidden so it's difficult to get hard core evidence...

Kappy believed in false things cuz Q keeps Folks lazy and complacent, and Trump is helping saudi starve millions in Yemen...Kappy trusted in things with dirty energy & those people made the abrahamic religions....yahyew is one god among many....Mother Earth is more real than yahyew...see council of Nicaea and You can see Christianity came from Paganism.

i did follow all his youtube videos..... he had information from victims on his Twitter....he said all that evidence was taken when his Twitter was shut down. He knew someone who was abused by stephen king.... he did say that he was talking to so many victims which will bring bad energy around too this shit and gang stalking scares others from coming out...the way the gang stalkers did Vegan Mikey and Kappy makes them all look like pedo protectors ...Kappy did say that Jeffrey Epstein is a key a few days before he died .... i think he knew he had to for that weird ass Magick those people do in the bracket jacket video or the one before he did say that Epstein is a root in the pedo crap & that Trump has connections to Epstein. The way he believes in Trump in Q may have just made him a weaker target for psychic warfare that causes suicide...

Original Blog from around August 2018

When Issac Kappy stood up against pedowood he said that he felt moved by Spirit, and i knew that he is another on the same Soul Mission as I.  He is asking for help for David Shruter so i offer any help he may take if the Ancestors are willing.

On his latest video he called the FBI to turn in a tip for David Shruter is an eye witness to the Franklin credit scandal  @ tips.fbi.gov

This blog may have more than one function.  1) I am freely showing Folks how easy it is to do goode Magick  2) I am sending out a Voodoo spell to help the poor Innocents who are harmed by the Pedowoods  3)  I am asking for protection for Issac Kappy's Soul Mission  & 4) My awesome Guides Who have the power to help against this black Magick the Satanist do will get an introduction.

The thing about the computer is that the chords have some quartz & there is ample energy from the electricity.  Words can make Magick so writing spells into the computer does work.  I can't really explain why, but am willing to give tips to empower others.  You should work with whichever Spirits are Your Guardians.  My idea in being so open is just to give others ideas for making their own forms of Magick.  I am a Crone with a Spirit Mission against the pedos, and my spell is only meant for Folks who don't mind the help & the children or Innocents who have no choice.

There is a video on youtube that puts Kappy in a
negative manner when he had a breakdown from no-one standing with him against Pedowood, and the awful energy that has come from him from what seem to be pedo protectors.  May Issac Kappy & David Shruter be shielded from this negative energy+++

thanx for upload :) Kappy is right on point.... CPS is a haven for pedos so it's great that goode souls are in it too. The people just ignore the pedo shit, & make fun of Folks who are brave enough to say something. Kappy has been open, and this break down is just proof that his heart is into it. I wish him the best & will send some healing energy +++ If just 15% of Pedowwods would have made a stand with Kappy something wonderful could happen. FUCK PEDOWOOD !!! may the Ghede & other Protective Dark Souls help this cause & may the Ancestors be empowered to protect & Guide the Souls of the Innocent Children +++ come together+++

the Ghede, Vegan Mikey, & Voodoo

No automatic alt text available.


Although i am writing this blog in response to donutgate, i do not wish to participate in all of the youtube madness.   Nevertheless,  i am using my words to make a humble & heartfelt request of My Guides, the Haitian Voodoo Diaspora, & all of the Willing Ancestors. I beg Thee to help the Childe victims  all the while hexing the predators.  The Voodoo Loas, most especialy Papa Legba, Baron Samedi, & Maman Brigette are my Guides so my blog is more like a prayer for Them to deal Justice over this pedophile crap, and especially what's associated with using the Voodoo name for evil.   IF Voodoo Donuts is innocent they shall not be harmed.   What's Voodoo Donuts,  who is Vegan Mikey, & spell to bring relief are presented in this blog.

See the source image

  1. What's Voodoo Donuts??? 
It's a business in Portland, Oregon that has alleged by Vegan Mikey to be associated with Childe trafficking.  I did a google search and found some pictures & an article that seem to be some evidence. 

Weed, NyQuil, And Dongs: The Secret Ingredients Behind Voodoo Doughnut

"Cereal, penises, NyQuil, even weed. Nothing is off limits for the creative minds behind Voodoo Doughnut, which is exactly what’s made them so darned delightful.


I never thought I’d say ‘Cock-N-Balls’ 50 times a day.
That might sound like a mere phallic joke, but doughnuts like the Cock-N-Balls are also pretty serious business. Not only do they give Voodoo’s brand a late-night edge, Voodoo’s more ambitious creations also open the door to expansive pricing on an otherwise low-return product. Through penises, cereals, and over-the-counter medicines, Voodoo has essentially added a design-driven ROI to the doughnut industry."

A Review of "Papa Legba - The Divine Messenger" by Darklordism


Although i have not felt like blogging; today, on the Full Moon of May 28, 2018 i feel drawn to report this video contents along 

with links that i have blogged on my own Spiritual Journey.



The video is


Papa Legba - The Divine Messenger ( Opener of The Way ) @ https://youtu.be/ruUASv-

6Tso


 The writing on it says

"Papa Legba is a mighty Loa (God) from the New Orleans and Haitian Vodou Traditions. He is seen as an elderly black man with a cane, wearing a straw hat and either smoking a pipe or sprinkling water upon the ground. He is sometimes accompanied by a black dog or a rooster.

His colors are black and red and his number is 3. His day of the week is Monday and he is
associated with St. Lazarus and St. Peter. Papa Legba governs over choice and the paths that we all walk. He presents us with opportunities and also tests our progress with challenges as we travel through earth life. This responsibility has given him the title of being the ultimate trickster god. He challenges us to step out of ourselves and to examine the habits and beliefs
that we identify with. The choice is to either examine our lives or continue to fail the tests that Papa Legba sends to us over and over again. To Papa Legba, choice is of the utmost
importance for it is choice that displays the maturity of the heart and mind.

Papa Legba is one of the very oldest Loa and has been around since the beginning of time. He has seen everything which is why he is the Master Story Teller and the keeper of man’s
history. He is like the Kemetic/Egyptian record keeping God Tehuti in this light for he has an unimaginable amount of data stored in his memory. He is the griot with the tales of heroes and the origins of all things. He can speak these stories to anyone on the planet for he is King of all linguists and therefore knows all languages.

The knowledge dropped by Darklordism is paraphrased

Papa Legba is one of the most popular deities Who is the Opener of the Gates to the other Loa. There are several Openers of the Way in different parts of the world that are based on the Same Energy such as Eshu, Tehuti/Thoth, and Elegua. It is a very Galactic Energy that has a special seat in the Universe. The Divine Messengers.

 ) 

See the source image

Papa Legba has a special seat in the Universe, not just amongst the Loa but in the Universe & He is the Haitian embodiment of this type of Energy.

We all have and need the Divine Messengers or the power of divination and correcting our lives. Papa Legba has a special way of delivering messages. It's not about Legba being a Trickster, it's about paying attention to the message. These energies are discerned so that They look at Your energy in the manner in which we come to Him. He is the most loving when it comes to humans, and He does have compassion. The other Loa may not be helpful. We may not like how we are being shown certain things, but we must be studious to receive the message He is delivering. He is more like a loving Father that wants Us to elevate to the next level that is actually beyond the Crossroad. Papa Legba will come to You with a Divine Message to help correct certain errors in Your life. He is the only best Spirit for new practitioners of Voudun. He teaches You hard lessons, but LOVES You enough to help You get through it. He is like a male KaliMa.

(Yes!!!  Papa Legba did help me raise my kundalini.  The caduceus can be for DNA or the kundalini.  My blog that presents this is 

Kundalinis Rising @ http://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2017/03/kundalinis-rising.html ) 




When You get that message from Papa Legba, write it down to help You reach a more clear understanding. DarkLordism suggests that if You have pure intentions & don't have a Priest, he recommends going to Papa Legba. If we initiate by Spirit, Papa Legba is the first that we meet in Voudun. We have to get the green light from Papa Legba, anyway. Some of Us are just bourne to be solo practitioners. Papa Legba is the most kind when our intentions are pure in our hearts and we give Him His due offerings such as candy, cigars, drawing His veve. If we do the colors and numerology we will be alright dealing with Papa Legba. It is ultra important to get clearance. In our business we should find the Keyholder & get their approval to watch our lives change.

(My blog discusses this @

Meet Papa Legba Who Is the First Step in Voodoo @ http://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2018/01/meet-papa-legba-who-is-first-step-in.html

)

We miss out on certain forms of wisdom when we neglect elderly energy. Papa Legba is the Elder Who helps with prophetic dreams. The Elders give Us guidance so we don't keep bumping our heads against the wall. There are keys that help Us make decisions with this Elderly Energy.

The Veves have hundreds of secrets in them. Papa Legba's veve has the directions. Legba is the triple OG of the directions, NSEW, this deity owns the directions. Mercurial Energy & the Grand Master Freemason....3 & 33 are among Legba's numbers.

(On Monday, 1/29/2018, the day after doing this blog i am told to add that we don't need to join hierarchical "secret societies" to gain the knowledge to reach "godhood" where we can create our own reality.  Papa Legba can do it spiritually if we wish to go straight to Him. @ 

Papa Legba Warns Us Against Hermetics



(My blog  Papa Legba is Mercury & He LOVES His Children http://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2017/06/once-i-was-scared-catholic-girl-who.html  documents that He shares the same Energy as Thoth/Hermes/Mercury, which seems to be from the Planet Mercury.  The most logical; explanaion i have is that the Planets are alive and have very powerful consciousness.)

Religion has developed an oppressed mentality that everything is against Us. We should go back to the original lessons from the Orisha & Loa Who are here for our greater purpose of Divine elevation.

A lot of People do not realize how Olde & Powerful the Energy of Papa Legba is. This energy is Galactic & stretches to before the Planet was created. This Energy is everywhere. He transports Us at death & birth. His colors are red and black or red and white, and He owns 3s and it's multiples. A lot of Prophets carry Papa Legba energy, and are older.. It doesn't matter what You practice You gotta pay homage to Papa Legba for He is everywhere.

 A lot of rituals don't work because clearance isn't received from Papa Legba. If Papa Legba doesn't give the green light don't move forward. They will close the Gates on You before They open them if You still need to learn the proper way.. Papa Legba can shut down Your access to the other world if You are just trifling. The altar is Sacred because its an antenna to open different realms. Papa Legba can just help Us get to our Ancestors. We must build a relationship with Papa Legba, and be very specific when dealing with Him. He does deliver obstacles.

Papa Legba will amaze You in all of the awesome ways He works in our lives. Do a Papa Legba every Monday for 3 months or 90 days and watch Your life change. Repetition is important in Magick. The Crossroad is at the corner. Is best to face North at the Crossroad or railroad closer to Your house. If we are crowned with Legba and are the Matriarch or Patriarch in that family we are meant to pass the wisdom down. He recommends drawing the veve for 30 days straight because it'll teach Us how to dial the phone number. Don't ask for anything until we make a relationship, and watch Your life change. Come with a pure and receiving heart.

Terrane and Ykeme have taken over the scene with providing you with not only dope You Tube Videos and exclusive information. These two have officially change the occult game and are rapidly removing the negative stigma. Putting the Bruja life back on the map. 

thank Y'all Darklordism :) may Papa open & shut the right Gates for Y'all <3 font="" nbsp="">

Rednecks & Ni&%ers Have Both Been Dealt a Shitty Hand So Stop The Bickering



5/21/2018
Idk why i feel obsessed with documenting this stuff, but i am.  Anyw my legs have been giving me hell so that it hurts too bad to sit at my desk, but i am healing+++ase+++ 
(the Docs can't really help without loads of tests so i am experimenting with herbs & exercise which will be blogged later)

The point is this blog is hoping that sending out waves of education will ease racial tensions in the South.  I wish to encourage compassion for the plight of the erasure of Confederate history, and monuments to our dead.  This deep hatred to Redneck Rebels is detrimental to peace in America on the whole.  If the government did wanna fill those FEMA camps we're gonna need gun toting Conservatives.  My dream is to see racism erased and see Us Come Together in lieu of bickering as the system desires.

+++ https://youtu.be/Wo4GJ6YdDeY +++

Anyway, some articles make me feel like i have something important to say so i like to blog them.  The most recent article for this subject is 
Mel Brooks: Political Correctness is Stupid and Killing Comedy


Mel Brooks: Political Correctness is Stupid and Killing Comedy


Annie Holmquist | September 22, 2017 |  10,804

“Brooks, known for his plethora of acclaimed comedy movies, said political correctness was becoming a stranglehold on comedians.
‘It’s not good for comedy. Comedy has to walk a thin line, take risks,’ he said.
‘Comedy is the lecherous little elf whispering in the king’s ear, always telling the truth about human behavior.’”

He is correct, in my opinion. Let's talk about one example in which political correctness is bias. It's okay for Folks to degrade Rednecks, and we'll gladly call ourselves this term that is used in a derogatory manner. Nonetheless, there is another term which started out as descriptive, and ended up being derogatory and that word is ni&%er. See, we can't even spell it out because it's more offensive than the word fuck. Double standards much??? 

signed, 
poor Redneck Rebel Cracka Honkey white trash with black gods....simply because i know the term racist is coming my way for my simple observation..... 

p.s. some of Us Southerners just wish we aren't a part of US government's bullshit & that Folks would concentrate more on present day slavery & stop being such BABIES!!!

Bruce, my Greek Friend told me that "Their propaganda was so great that i thought for a time that redneck means racist and biggot.... I 'm not kidding it 's hard, for foreigners to watch dialogs on the web. And my first contact to american politics was through liberal pages and i was really scared thinking that cops are killing people for fun there."


Original blog 
Since myself, and almost everyone i know here in Texas, including some black Folks, have some Irish blood i have been meaning to explore some Irish history.  The intention in the back of my mind was aroused by an article i saw today, 4/22/2018.  Since i am no longer making 100s on my papers, the words are not my own as it's much easier to copy, paste, & cite.  This will be my contribution for Confederate History Month in hopes that ripples of education may ease racial tensions in the South. Irish Confederates weren't fighting for slavery, why were the Irish fleeing Their Homeland, the Irish Slave Trade – the Forgotten “White” Slaves, the Barbary Slave Trade of Africa, the Definition of Redneck, the definition of Nigger, and what's my point will be presented in this blog.
Irish Confederates Weren't 
Fighting for Slavery

Most of 40,000 Irish who fought for the Confederacy were not fighting for slavery says historian
by Phillip Thomas Tucker, Ph.D  @IrishCentra April 21, 2018 06:05 AM.
IrishCentral

Confederate artillery
A new book, The Irish at Gettysburg, says the real story of the Irish who fought with the Confederate Army is only just starting to be told.

Fortunately for the Confederacy in terms of its war-waging capabilities— in a parallel that had been seen in the thirteen colonies just before the American Revolution—the South possessed a vast Irish manpower pool by 1860. Tens of thousands of immigrant Irish had flooded into the South, especially major urban areas (most of all New Orleans) because of the exodus created by the Great Potato Famine of 1845–1849. Known as the An Gorta Mor—ancient Gaelic for “The Great Hunger.

Unlike in major northeastern cities, the much easier assimilation of Irish immigrants into the overall mainstream of a more open and tolerant Southern society—the unity of whiteness in a slave society enhanced equality for whites —ensured a deep loyalty, including Democratic Party adherence, to their adopted homeland and a widespread wearing of the gray.

Most revealing, during the 1850s, ugly anti-Irish riots swept through the ethnic slums and ghettoes of New York City, Philadelphia and Boston and even targeted Catholic churches, while the Irish were accepted as full-fledged citizens in Richmond, Mobile and Charleston. Clearly, this was a significant difference not lost on tens of thousands of Sons of Erin across the South with their adopted homeland’s call to arms in April 1861, after the firing on Fort Sumter in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina.

Therefore, the majority of the Irish people found that the South, not the North, was the true land of liberty, offering greater social and economic opportunities and easier access into the overall mainstream of everyday life. Indeed, since before the nation’s founding in the fiery forge of a people’s revolution, the South and its people—not only in the cities but also in the rural areas and in the western frontier regions (as far west as the plains of west Texas)—were fully receptive to the Irish refugees from hard economic times, famines and British oppression.

In total, an estimated forty thousand Irishmen fought for the Confederacy. During the climax of the bloody showdown at Gettysburg, large numbers of Ireland-born Confederates marched forth in lengthy formations that flowed with mechanical-like precision over the open fields during Pickett’s Charge.

During what was actually only their most recent revolution against the domination of centralized authority (now located in Washington, D.C., and not London, but still a faraway power that represented arbitrary rule) and a dissimilar opponent, Irish Confederate companies of numerous regiments attacked over the open fields of Gettysburg with colorful battle flags of green emblazoned with ancient patriotic slogans while unleashing Irish war cries that had been heard on Ireland’s most famous battlefields in a storied past.

In regard to explaining the common motivations of the Irish soldier that were atypical compared to other Southern soldiers, no Confederates at Gettysburg fought in general less for slavery than the Irish. After all, the vast majority of these Irish immigrants in gray and butternut were relatively poor and primarily menial workers of the lower class—the former peasantry of the so-called old country. These tough men had been mostly common laborers who had worked on the docks, railroads, levees and small farms of the South.

Consequently, relatively few Irish (more the case of Catholics than Protestants—the Scotch-Irish—especially the Great Famine Catholics) in the South owned slaves by 1860. In fact, by inclination, the Irish, especially Catholics, in general were the least likely to be slave owners, in part because they had hailed from a long-oppressed minority and were more empathetic than Anglo-Saxons, who possessed a long history as conquerors.

 In truth, these Irish also fought from a sense of sincere gratitude to a Southern society that had accepted them and treated them more fairly than Northern society. Consequently, they were infused with a vibrant new nationalism of a kind experienced by their Irish ancestors in battling the English invaders over the centuries. Because the South had so thoroughly accepted Irish (Catholics and Protestants) for generations and given ample economic opportunities for them to advance up the social ladder unlike in northeastern cities, this path of upward mobility helped to open up many leadership positions in Confederate armies. Most of all, a vibrant sense of Irish nationalism evolved smoothly into the overall mainstream of Southern nationalism by 1861, because the two revolutionary struggles of the common people were seen as largely one and the same, despite existing on opposite sides of the Atlantic and separated by thousands of miles—a righteous, if holy, struggle for self-determination (“home rule”) by the common people.

And no enduring idea from the pages of history and a misty Celtic past was more foremost in the hearts and minds of hundreds of these brave Sons of Erin than that Ireland’s centuries-long struggle against the oppression of Great Britain was the same as the Confederacy’s struggle for self-determination.

Why Were the Irish Fleeing Their Homeland???

The Great Famine (Irish: an Gorta Mór, [anˠ ˈgɔɾˠt̪ˠa mˠoːɾˠ]) or the Great Hunger was a period of mass starvation, disease, and emigration in Ireland between 1845 and 1849.[1] It is sometimes referred to, mostly outside Ireland, as the Irish Potato Famine, because about two-fifths of the population was solely reliant on this cheap crop for a number of historical reasons.[2][3] During the famine, about one million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland,[4] causing the island's population to fall by between 20% and 25%.[5]

The proximate cause of famine was potato blight,[6] which ravaged potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s. However, the impact in Ireland was disproportionate, as one third of the population was dependent on the potato for a range of ethnic, religious, political, social, and economic reasons, such as land acquisition, absentee landlords, and the Corn Laws, which all contributed to the disaster to varying degrees and remain the subject of intense historical debate.

The famine was a watershed in the history of Ireland,[1] which was then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The famine and its effects permanently changed the island's demographic, political, and cultural landscape. For both the native Irish and those in the resulting diaspora, the famine entered folk memory[fn 1] and became a rallying point for Irish nationalist movements. The already strained relations between many Irish and the British Crown soured further, heightening ethnic and sectarian tensions, and boosting Irish nationalism and republicanism in Ireland and among Irish emigrants in the United States and elsewhere.


Causes and contributing factors


 
Since the Acts of Union in January 1801, Ireland had been part of the United Kingdom. Executive power lay in the hands of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and Chief Secretary for Ireland, who were appointed by the British government. Ireland sent 105 members of parliament to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, and Irish representative peers elected 28 of their own number to sit for life in the House of Lords. Between 1832 and 1859, 70% of Irish representatives were landowners or the sons of landowners.[8]

In the 40 years that followed the union, successive British governments grappled with the problems of governing a country which had, as Benjamin Disraeli put it in 1844, "a starving population, an absentee aristocracy, an alien established Protestant church, and in addition the weakest executive in the world."[9] One historian calculated that, between 1801 and 1845, there had been 114 commissions and 61 special committees enquiring into the state of Ireland, and that "without exception their findings prophesied disaster; Ireland was on the verge of starvation, her population rapidly increasing, three-quarters of her labourers unemployed, housing conditions appalling and the standard of living unbelievably low".[10]

Laws that restricted the rights of Irish Catholics
In the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish Catholics had been prohibited by the penal laws from purchasing or leasing land, from voting, from holding political office, from living in or within 5 miles (8 km) of a corporate town, from obtaining education, from entering a profession, and from doing many other things necessary for a person to succeed and prosper in society. The laws had largely been reformed by 1793, and the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829 allowed Irish Catholics to again sit in parliament.


Landlords and tenants
During the 18th century, the "middleman system" for managing landed property was introduced. Rent collection was left in the hands of the landlords' agents, or middlemen. This assured the landlord of a regular income, and relieved them of direct responsibility, while leaving tenants open to exploitation by the middlemen.[11]

Catholics, the bulk of whom lived in conditions of poverty and insecurity despite Catholic emancipation in 1829, made up 80% of the population. At the top of the "social pyramid" was the "ascendancy class", the English and Anglo-Irish families who owned most of the land, and held more or less unchecked power over their tenants. Some of their estates were vast; for example, the Earl of Lucan owned over 60,000 acres (240 km2). Many of these landlords lived in England and were known as absentee landlords. The rent revenue—collected from "impoverished tenants" who were paid minimal wages to raise crops and livestock for export[12]—was mostly sent to England.[13]

Tenants, subdivisions, and bankruptcy

The 1841 census showed a population of just over eight million. Two-thirds of those depended on agriculture for their survival, but they rarely received a working wage. They had to work for their landlords in return for the patch of land they needed to grow enough food for their own families. This was the system which forced Ireland and its peasantry into monoculture, since only the potato could be grown in sufficient quantity. The rights to a plot of land in Ireland could mean the difference between life and death in the early 19th century.[12]


Potato dependency
The potato was introduced to Ireland as a garden crop of the gentry. By the late 17th century, it had become widespread as a supplementary rather than a principal food because the main diet still revolved around butter, milk, and grain products. However, in the first two decades of the 18th century, it became a base food of the poor, especially in winter.[20] Furthermore, a disproportionate share of the potatoes grown in Ireland were of a single variety, the Irish Lumper.[21] The expansion of the economy between 1760 and 1815 saw the potato make inroads into the diet of the people and become a staple food year round for farmers.[22] The large dependency on this single crop, and the lack of genetic variability among the potato plants in Ireland (a monoculture), were two of the reasons why the emergence of Phytophthora infestans had such devastating effects in Ireland and less severe effects elsewhere in Europe.[23]

Potatoes were essential to the development of the cottier system, supporting an extremely cheap workforce, but at the cost of lower living standards. For the labourer, it was essentially a potato wage that shaped the expanding agrarian economy.[22]

The expansion of tillage led to an inevitable expansion of the potato acreage and an expansion of peasant farmers. By 1841, there were over half a million peasant farmers, with 1.75 million dependants. The principal beneficiary of this system was the English consumer.[22]

The Celtic grazing lands of  Ireland had been used to pasture cows for centuries. The British colonised ... the Irish, transforming much of their countryside into an extended grazing land to raise cattle for a hungry consumer market at home ... The British taste for beef had a devastating impact on the impoverished and disenfranchised people of ... Ireland ... pushed off the best pasture land and forced to farm smaller plots of marginal land, the Irish turned to the potato, a crop that could be grown abundantly in less favorable soil. Eventually, cows took over much of Ireland, leaving the native population virtually dependent on the potato for survival.[24]

The potato was also used extensively as a fodder crop for livestock immediately prior to the famine. Approximately 33% of production, amounting to 5,000,000 short tons (4,500,000 t), was normally used in this way.[25]

Blight in Ireland

In 1846, three-quarters of the harvest was lost to blight.[43] By December, a third of a million destitute people were employed in public works.[44] According to Cormac Ó Gráda, the first attack of potato blight caused considerable hardship in rural Ireland, from the autumn of 1846, when the first deaths from starvation were recorded.[45] Seed potatoes were scarce in 1847. Little had been sown, so, despite average yields, hunger continued. 1848 yields would be only two-thirds of normal. Since over three million Irish people were totally dependent on potatoes for food, hunger and famine were inevitable.[43]



Irish food exports during Famine




Records show that Irish lands exported food even during the worst years of the Famine. When Ireland had experienced a famine in 1782–83, ports were closed to keep Irish-grown food in Ireland to feed the Irish. Local food prices promptly dropped. Merchants lobbied against the export ban, but government in the 1780s overrode their protests.[79] No such export ban happened in the 1840s.[80]

Throughout the entire period of the Famine, Ireland was exporting enormous quantities of food. In the magazine History Ireland (1997, issue 5, pp. 32–36), Christine Kinealy, a Great Hunger scholar, lecturer, and Drew University professor, relates her findings: Almost 4,000 vessels carried food from Ireland to the ports of Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, and London during 1847, when 400,000 Irish men, women, and children died of starvation and related diseases. She also writes that Irish exports of calves, livestock (except pigs), bacon, and ham actually increased during the Famine. This food was shipped from the most famine-stricken parts of Ireland: Ballina, Ballyshannon, Bantry, Dingle, Killala, Kilrush, Limerick, Sligo, Tralee, and Westport. A wide variety of commodities left Ireland during 1847, including peas, beans, onions, rabbits, salmon, oysters, herring, lard, honey, tongues, animal skins, rags, shoes, soap, glue, and seed. The most shocking export figures concern butter. Butter was shipped in firkins, each one holding 9 imperial gallons; 41 litres. In the first nine months of 1847, 56,557 firkins (509,010 imperial gallons; 2,314,000 litres) were exported from Ireland to Bristol, and 34,852 firkins (313,670 imperial gallons; 1,426,000 litres) were shipped to Liverpool, which correlates with 822,681 imperial gallons (3,739,980 litres) of butter exported to England from Ireland during nine months of the worst year of the Famine.[81] The problem in Ireland was not lack of food, which was plentiful, but the price of it, which was beyond the reach of the poor.[82]

The historian Cecil Woodham-Smith wrote in The Great Hunger: Ireland 1845–1849 that no issue has provoked so much anger and embittered relations between England and Ireland "as the indisputable fact that huge quantities of food were exported from Ireland to England throughout the period when the people of Ireland were dying of starvation".[83] John Ranelagh writes that Ireland remained a net exporter of food throughout most of the five-year famine.[84] However, both Woodham-Smith and Cormac Ó Gráda write that, in addition to the maize imports, four times as much wheat was imported into Ireland at the height of the famine as exported.[85][86]

Charity
William Smith O'Brien—speaking on the subject of charity in a speech to the Repeal Association in February 1845—applauded the fact that the universal sentiment on the subject of charity was that they would accept no English charity. He expressed the view that the resources of Ireland were still abundantly adequate to maintain the population, and that, until those resources had been utterly exhausted, he hoped that there was no one in "Ireland who will so degrade himself as to ask the aid of a subscription from England".[46]

Mitchel wrote in his The Last Conquest of Ireland (Perhaps), on the same subject, that no one from Ireland ever asked for charity during this period, and that it was England who sought charity on Ireland's behalf, and, having received it, was also responsible for administering it. He suggested that it has been carefully inculcated by the British Press "that the moment Ireland fell into distress, she became an abject beggar at England's gate, and that she even craved alms from all mankind". He affirmed that in Ireland no one ever asked alms or favours of any kind from England or any other nation, but that it was England herself that begged for Ireland. He suggested that it was England that "sent 'round the hat over all the globe, asking a penny for the love of God to relieve the poor Irish", and, constituting herself the agent of all that charity, took all the profit of it.[49]

Large sums of money were donated by charities; Calcutta is credited with making the first donation of £14,000. The money was raised by Irish soldiers serving there and Irish people employed by the East India Company.[87] Pope Pius IX and Russian Tsar Alexander II sent funds and Queen Victoria donated £2,000. According to legend,[88][89][90] Sultan Abdülmecid I of the Ottoman Empire originally offered to send £10,000 but was asked either by British diplomats or his own ministers to reduce it to £1,000 to avoid donating more than the Queen.[91] U.S. President James K. Polk donated $50 and Congressman Abraham Lincoln donated $10.[92]

In addition to the religious, non-religious organisations came to the assistance of famine victims. The British Relief Association was one such group. Founded on 1 January 1847 by Lionel de Rothschild, Abel Smith, and other prominent bankers and aristocrats, the Association raised money throughout England, America, and Australia; their funding drive was benefited by a "Queen's Letter", a letter from Queen Victoria appealing for money to relieve the distress in Ireland.[93] With this initial letter, the Association raised £171,533. A second, somewhat less successful "Queen's Letter" was issued in late 1847.[93] In total, the Association raised approximately £390,000 for Irish relief.[94]

Private initiatives such as the Central Relief Committee of the Society of Friends (Quakers) attempted to fill the gap caused by the end of government relief, and eventually the government reinstated the relief works, although bureaucracy slowed the release of food supplies.[95] Thousands of dollars were raised in the United States, including $170 collected from a group of Native American Choctaws in 1847.[96] Judy Allen, editor of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma's newspaper Biskinik, wrote that "It had been just 16 years since the Choctaw people had experienced the Trail of Tears, and they had faced starvation ... It was an amazing gesture." To mark the 150th anniversary, eight Irish people retraced the Trail of Tears,[97] and the donation was publicly commemorated by President Mary Robinson.

Emigration
Emigration during the famine years of 1845–1850 was to England, Scotland, South Wales, North America, and Australia.[112] By 1851, about a quarter of Liverpool's population was Irish-born. Many of those fleeing to the Americas used the well-established McCorkell Line.[113]....Of the more than 100,000 Irish that sailed to Canada in 1847, an estimated one out of five died from disease and malnutrition, including over 5,000 at Grosse Isle, Quebec, an island in the Saint Lawrence River used to quarantine ships near Quebec City.[114] Overcrowded, poorly maintained, and badly provisioned vessels known as coffin ships sailed from small, unregulated harbours in the West of Ireland in contravention of British safety requirements, and mortality rates were high.[115] The 1851 census reported that more than half the inhabitants of Toronto were Irish, and, in 1847 alone, 38,000 Irish flooded a city with fewer than 20,000 citizens. Other Canadian cities such as Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilton, and Saint John also received large numbers. By 1871, 55% of Saint John residents were Irish natives or children of Irish-born parents.[116] Unlike the United States, Canada could not close its ports to Irish ships because it was part of the British Empire, so emigrants could obtain cheap passage (evicted tenants received free passage) in returning empty lumber holds. However, fearing nationalist insurgencies, the British government placed harsh restrictions on Irish immigration to Canada after 1847, resulting in larger influxes to the United States.

In America, most Irish became city-dwellers; with little money, many had to settle in the cities that the ships they came on landed in.[117] By 1850, the Irish made up a quarter of the population in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. In addition, Irish populations became prevalent in some American mining communities.

The famine marked the beginning of the depopulation of Ireland in the 19th century. Population had increased by 13–14% in the first three decades of the 19th century; between 1831 and 1841, population grew by 5%. Application of Thomas Malthus's idea of population expanding geometrically while resources increase arithmetically was popular during the famines of 1817 and 1822. By the 1830s, they were seen as overly simplistic, and Ireland's problems were seen "less as an excess of population than as a lack of capital investment".[118] The population of Ireland was increasing no faster than that of England, which suffered no equivalent catastrophe. By 1854, between 1.5 and 2 million Irish left their country due to evictions, starvation, and harsh living conditions.

Of the more than 100,000 Irish that sailed to Canada in 1847, an estimated one out of five died from disease and malnutrition, including over 5,000 at Grosse Isle, Quebec, an island in the Saint Lawrence River used to quarantine ships near Quebec City.[114] Overcrowded, poorly maintained, and badly provisioned vessels known as coffin ships sailed from small, unregulated harbours in the West of Ireland in contravention of British safety requirements, and mortality rates were high.[115] The 1851 census reported that more than half the inhabitants of Toronto were Irish, and, in 1847 alone, 38,000 Irish flooded a city with fewer than 20,000 citizens.

Genocide question

The famine remains a controversial event in Irish history. Debate and discussion on the British government's response to the failure of the potato crop in Ireland, the exportation of food crops and livestock, the subsequent large-scale starvation, and whether or not this constituted genocide, remains a historically and politically charged issue.

In 1996, Francis A. Boyle, a law professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, wrote a report commissioned by the New York-based Irish Famine/Genocide Committee, which concluded that the British government deliberately pursued a race- and ethnicity-based policy aimed at destroying the group commonly known as the Irish people and that the policy of mass starvation amounted to genocide per the Hague Convention of 1948.[fn 7]

In 1996, the U.S. state of New Jersey included the famine in the "Holocaust and Genocide Curriculum" for its secondary schools.[fn 8].



Journalist Peter Duffy writes that "The government's crime, which deserves to blacken its name forever", was rooted "in the effort to regenerate Ireland" through "landlord-engineered replacement of tillage plots with grazing lands" that "took precedence over the obligation to provide food ... for its starving citizens. It is little wonder that the policy looked to many people like genocide."[161]

James S. Donnelly, Jr., a historian at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, wrote in his book, Landlord and Tenant in Nineteenth-century Ireland:

I would draw the following broad conclusion: at a fairly early stage of the Great Famine the government's abject failure to stop or even slow down the clearances (evictions) contributed in a major way to enshrining the idea of English state-sponsored genocide in Irish popular mind. Or perhaps one should say in the Irish mind, for this was a notion that appealed to many educated and discriminating men and women, and not only to the revolutionary minority ... And it is also my contention that while genocide was not in fact committed, what happened during and as a result of the clearances had the look of genocide to a great many Irish.[162]

Cormac Ó Gráda disagreed that the famine was genocide. He argues that "genocide includes murderous intent, and it must be said that not even the most bigoted and racist commentators of the day sought the extermination of the Irish", and also that most people in Whitehall "hoped for better times for Ireland". Additionally, he states that the claim of genocide overlooks "the enormous challenge facing relief agencies, both central and local, public and private".[163] Ó Gráda thinks that a case of neglect is easier to sustain than that of genocide.[163] Edward Lengel claims that views of the Irish as racially inferior, and for this reason significantly responsible for their circumstances, gained purchase in Great Britain during and immediately after the famine, especially through influential publications such as The Medical Times and The Times.[164]

The Great Famine in Ireland has been compared to the Holodomor ("hunger plague") that took place in the Ukraine under Stalin in 1932,[165] which has been the subject of similar controversy and debate.

The Irish Slave Trade – 
The Forgotten “White” Slaves


Some were indentured Servants, but many did suffer greatly, and weren't freed when their time was up.

England’s “Irish Slaves” Meme: The Numbers

By Liam Hogan, June 10, 2016

* * *

They came as slaves; vast human cargo transported on tall British ships bound for the Americas. They were shipped by the hundreds of thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children.

Whenever they rebelled or even disobeyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. They were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives.

We don’t really need to go through all of the gory details, do we? We know all too well the atrocities of the African slave trade.


But, are we talking about African slavery? King James II and Charles I also led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s famed Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor.

The Irish slave trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as slaves to the New World. The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.

Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.

From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well.

During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.

Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish slaves were nothing more than human cattle.

As an example, the African slave trade was just beginning during this same period. It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated Catholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts.

African slaves were very expensive during the late 1600s (50 Sterling). Irish slaves came cheap (no more than 5 Sterling). If a planter whipped or branded or beat an Irish slave to death, it was never a crime. A death was a monetary setback, but far cheaper than killing a more expensive African. The English masters quickly began breeding the Irish women for both their own personal pleasure and for greater profit. Children of slaves were themselves slaves, which increased the size of the master’s free workforce. Even if an Irish woman somehow obtained her freedom, her kids would remain slaves of her master. Thus, Irish moms, even with this new found emancipation, would seldom abandon their kids and would remain in servitude.

In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women (in many cases, girls as young as 12) to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls with African men to produce slaves with a distinct complexion. These new “mulatto” slaves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African slaves. This practice of interbreeding Irish females with African men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish slave women to African slave men for the purpose of producing slaves for sale.” In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company.

England continued to ship tens of thousands of Irish slaves for more than a century. Records state that, after the 1798 Irish Rebellion, thousands of Irish slaves were sold to both America and Australia. There were horrible abuses of both African and Irish captives. One British ship even dumped 1,302 slaves into the Atlantic Ocean so that the crew would have plenty of food to eat.

There is little question that the Irish experienced the horrors of slavery as much (if not more in the 17th Century) as the Africans did. There is, also, very little question that those brown, tanned faces you witness in your travels to the West Indies are very likely a combination of African and Irish ancestry. In 1839, Britain finally decided on its own to end its participation in Satan’s highway to hell and stopped transporting slaves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded THIS chapter of nightmarish Irish misery.

But, if anyone, black or white, believes that slavery was only an African experience, then they’ve got it completely wrong.

Irish slavery is a subject worth remembering, not erasing from our memories.

But, where are our public (and PRIVATE) schools???? Where are the history books? Why is it so seldom discussed?

Do the memories of hundreds of thousands of Irish victims merit more than a mention from an unknown writer?

Or is their story to be one that their English pirates intended: To (unlike the African book) have the Irish story utterly and completely disappear as if it never happened.

None of the Irish victims ever made it back to their homeland to describe their ordeal. These are the lost slaves; the ones that time and biased history books conveniently forgot.

The Barbary Slave Trade of Africa

When Europeans were slaves to Africans
AFRICAN HISTORY

While black Africans were loaded on ships to Europe and the Americas in the 16th and 17th century, Africans also engaged in slave trade that involved the purchase and humiliating torture of white captives. During that time, it was common to have white slaves in the markets of the Barbary Coasts awaiting purchase. About 1.2 million whites were held captive on African shores during this era, a tenth of the number of black Africans sold into slavery, but nonetheless, a significant amount.

The Barbary Coast also known as the Berber Coast was in North Africa and swept across Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Algeria. This area formed a part of the Ottoman Empire and was host to a multitude of Berber pirates and slave traders who held sway in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas. They also engaged in raids of European coastal cities. This was also the scene of the Barbary Wars which witnessed United States’ first foreign land military operation, when Thomas Jefferson declared war on the Berber pirates which led to the end of piracy in that region. People in this region were majorly African Arabs.

Robert Davis states in his BBC article British Slaves on the Barbary Coast:
“Slaves in Barbary could be black, brown or white, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Jewish or Muslim. Contemporaries were too aware of the sort of people enslaved in North Africa to believe, as many do today, that slavery, whether in Barbary or the Americas, was a matter of race. In the 1600s, no one’s racial background or religion automatically destined him or her for enslavement. Preachers in churches from Sicily to Boston spoke of the similar fates of black slaves on American plantations and white slaves in corsair galleys; early abolitionists used Barbary slavery as a way to attack the universal degradation of slavery in all its forms”.

White slaves sold in Africa

While there were widespread attacks on European shores, and also significant captures of European Christians, people in captive were not defined by a particular race or religion. It is not true that attacks were religiously or racially defined, stated Robert Davis in his book. People from almost every race, religion, culture or civilization have been made slaves by their own people and similarly enslaved by other people too

The Definition of Redneck

Redneck is a derogatory term chiefly-but-not-exclusively applied to white Americans perceived to be crass and unsophisticated, closely associated with rural whites of the Southern United States.[1][2] Its usage is similar in meaning to cracker (especially regarding Georgia, Texas,[1] and Florida), hillbilly (especially regarding Appalachia and the Ozarks),[3] and white trash (but without the last term's suggestions of immorality).[4][5][6]
By the 1970s, the term had become offensive slang, its meaning expanded to include racism, loutishness, and opposition to modern ways.[7]


Patrick Huber, in his monograph "A Short History of Redneck: The Fashioning of a Southern White Masculine Identity", emphasized the theme of masculinity in the 20th century expansion of the term, noting, "The redneck has been stereotyped in the media and popular culture as a poor, dirty, uneducated, and racist Southern white man."[8]

19th and early 20th centuries
Political term for poor farmers
The term characterized farmers having a red neck caused by sunburn from hours working in the fields. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as "poorer inhabitants of the rural districts...men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin stained red and burnt by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks".[9]

By 1900, "rednecks" was in common use to designate the political factions inside the Democratic Party comprising poor white farmers in the South.[10] The same group was also often called the "wool hat boys" (for they opposed the rich men, who wore expensive silk hats). A newspaper notice in Mississippi in August 1891 called on rednecks to rally at the polls at the upcoming primary election:[11]

Late 20th and early 21st centuries
Writers Edward Abbey and Dave Foreman also use "redneck" as a political call to mobilize poor rural white Southerners. "In Defense of the Redneck" was a popular essay by Ed Abbey. One popular early Earth First! bumper sticker was "Rednecks for Wilderness". Murray Bookchin, an urban leftist and social ecologist, objected strongly to Earth First!'s use of the term as "at the very least, insensitive".[16] However, many Southerners have proudly embraced the term as a self-identifier.[17][18]

As political epithet
According to Chapman and Kipfer in their "Dictionary of American Slang", By 1975 the term had expanded in meaning beyond the poor Southerner to refer to "a bigoted and conventional person, a loutish ultra-conservative."[19] For example, in 1960 John Barlow Martin expressed Senator John F. Kennedy should not enter the Indiana Democratic presidential primary because the state was "redneck conservative country." Indiana, he told Kennedy, was a state "suspicious of foreign entanglements, conservative in fiscal policy, and with a strong overlay of Southern segregationist sentiment."[20] Writer William Safire observes it is often used to attack white Southern conservatives, and more broadly to degrade working class and rural whites that are perceived by urban progressives to be insufficiently liberal.[21] At the same time, some white Southerners have reclaimed the word, using it with pride and defiance as a self-identifie

 redneck (n.)
"cracker," attested 1830 in a specialized sense ("This may be ascribed to the Red Necks, a name bestowed upon the Presbyterians in Fayetteville" -- Ann Royall, "Southern Tour I," p.148), from red (adj.1) + neck (n.). According to various theories, red perhaps from anger, or from pellagra, but most likely from mule farmers' outdoors labor in the sun, wearing a shirt and straw hat, with the neck exposed. Compare redshanks, old derogatory name for Scots Highlanders and Celtic Irish (1540s), from their going bare-legged.

It turns up again in an American context in 1904, again from Fayetteville, in a list of dialect words, meaning this time "an uncouth countryman" ["Dialect Notes," American Dialect Society, vol. ii, part vi, 1904], but seems not to have been in widespread use in the U.S. before c. 1915. In the meantime, it was used from c. 1894 in South Africa (translating Dutch Roinek) as an insulting Boer name for "an Englishman."

The Definition of Nigger

In the English language, the word nigger is a racial slur typically directed at black people. The word originated as a variation of the Spanish and Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger ("black").[1] It was often used derogatorily, and by the mid-twentieth century, particularly in the United States, its usage became unambiguously pejorative, a racist insult. Accordingly, it began to disappear from popular culture, and its continued inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy. Because the term is considered extremely offensive, it is often replaced with the euphemism "the N-word".

nigger (n.)
1786, earlier neger (1568, Scottish and northern England dialect), from French nègre, from Spanish negro (see Negro). From the earliest usage it was "the term that carries with it all the obloquy and contempt and rejection which whites have inflicted on blacks" [cited in Gowers, 1965, probably Harold R. Isaacs]. But as black inferiority was at one time a near universal assumption in English-speaking lands, the word in some cases could be used without deliberate insult. More sympathetic writers late 18c. and early 19c. seem to have used black (n.) and, after the American Civil War, colored person.

"You're a fool nigger, and the worst day's work Pa ever did was to buy you," said Scarlett slowly. ... There, she thought, I've said "nigger" and Mother wouldn't like that at all. [Margaret Mitchell, "Gone With the Wind," 1936]
Also applied by English settlers to dark-skinned native peoples in India, Australia, Polynesia. The reclamation of the word as a neutral or positive term in black culture (not universally regarded as a worthwhile enterprise), often with a suggestion of "soul" or "style," is attested first in the U.S. South, later (1968) in the Northern, urban-based Black Power movement.

Used in combinations (such as nigger-brown) since 1840s for various dark brown or black hues or objects; euphemistic substitutions (such as Zulu) began to appear in these senses c. 1917. Brazil nuts were called nigger toes by 1896. Variant niggah, attested from 1925 (without the -h, from 1969), is found usually in situations where blacks use the word. Nigra (1944), on the other hand, in certain uses reflects a pronunciation of negro meant to suggest nigger, and is thus deemed (according to a 1960 slang dictionary) "even more derog[atory] than 'nigger.' " Slang phrase nigger in the woodpile attested by 1800; "A mode of accounting for the disappearance of fuel; an unsolved mystery" [R.H. Thornton, "American Glossary," 1912]. Nigger heaven "the top gallery in a (segregated) theater" first attested 1878 in reference to Troy, N.Y.

what's my point???

My point was stated in the newest Intro.
Let's talk about one example in which political correctness is bias. It's okay for Folks to degrade Rednecks, and we'll gladly call ourselves this term that is used in a derogatory manner. Nonetheless, there is another term which started out as descriptive, and ended up being derogatory and that word is ni&%er. See, we can't even spell it out because it's more offensive than the word fuck. Double standards much??? 

signed, poor Redneck Rebel Cracka Honkey white trash with black gods....simply because i know the term racist is coming my way for my simple observation..... 

p.s. some of Us Southerners just wish we aren't a part of US government's bullshit & that Folks would concentrate more on present day slavery  such as human trafficking for sex labor & stop being such BABIES!!!
