British Misfit Dumping Ground

Contrary to popular notions, white residents of the American colonies were not a free people. After the abolition of serfdom in Mecklenburg’s duchies in the 1820’s, those emancipated white slaves were little more than landless, starving migrant workers, many of whom sold themselves to indenture in order to look for land in America.

British Misfit Dumping Ground:

“At the time of the Revolution, about half the white population of the Colonies consisted of indentured laborers and their descendants. Some were orphans, debtors, paupers, mental defectives. Others had committed petty crimes. Still others were whores. Children were stolen and spirited off to be sold under indentures.

The Irish in particular were victimized. Oliver Cromwell believed that they were admirably suited for slavery and saw to it that the survivors of the Drogheda massacre met that fate in Bermuda. His agents scoured Ireland for children to be sold to planters in the Americas. Between 1717 and 1775, 50,000 English felons were transported to mainland North America. For the most part, the indentured workers settled in the South where the demand for unskilled plantation labor was greatest. American writers and politicians protested against the use of the Colonies as dumping grounds for the unwanted, the impoverished and, in some cases, the vicious and mentally inferior.

Benjamin Franklin compared British emigration policy with sending American rattlesnakes to England to teach them manners. These protests went unheeded and deportation continued until the American Revolution stopped it and forced England to turn to Australia as an alternate destination.

At the time of the Revolutionary War, opposition to slavery and the continued importation of Negroes was widespread among the intellectual and political leaders of the nascent republic. [Virginian] George Wythe, Jefferson’s teacher and friend, freed all his slaves on moral grounds. John Adams declared shortly before his death: “I have, through my whole life, held the practice of slavery in such abhorrence, that, I have never owned a negro or any other slave…”

  3. I think the WHOLE point of this is, that blacks ARE NOT the only race to have been slaves in America & deserve no free ride today because their ancestors were slaves. Many whites were slaves if anyone would care to research british records of how the colonies were populated by the king of England. The more british whites ( Welsh, Scots, Irish, English and those defeated by the kings military ) he sent to the colonies ( by every means possible ) the more work & production was done providing more taxmoney for the king.

  4. Yes, and the traders didn't go and capture the slaves, but bought them from their black brothers, something conveniently not mentioned.

  5. Funny, during the election of 2008 a reporter was interviewing one of those fake black Ministers who was downing the South and Whites, referring to White Southerners as slave owners, pro-slavery, etc. Yet when the reporters asked him why was he supporting Barack Hussein Obama, that his Arabic family were slave traders from the Sudan, later moving to Kenya, then the fkae black Minister said, "YOU CAN'T BLAME A MAN FOR ACTS OF HIS ANCESTORS", yet he was blaming all White Southerners for slavery.

    By the way, Barack Hussein Obama and his followers keep referring to Obama as a black man or African-American and the first black/African-American President of the U.S., well folks Mr. Obama is only 6.25% African-Negro,but he's 50% WHITE and 43.75% ARABIC, FIGURE IT OUT YOUR SELF, HIS MOTHER WAS 100% WHITE. This is a fact, in Kenya birth certificates put the percentages of mix bloods. And Obama's father's birth certificate shows he's 87.5% Arabic and only 12.5% African-Negro and he's classified as "ARAB" on his birth certificate.....Fact!

    Funny, Michelle Obama has hated Whites all her life, but married a half WHITEY" and her children have Whitey blood. Wonder if he told Michelle about mama before they married.

    So, to most racist blacks, it not race they care about, it's handouts and most of the black fake Ministers like Je$$e Jack$on and Al $harpton use REV. for personal gain, starting race problems then show up for fame and money.

    The Confederate Air Force, an organization that fought and showed World War 2 military aircraft and honored WW2 aircrews, used the name Confederate Air Force for over 50 years, but then Je$$e Jack$son showed up and ordered them to change the name, it was racist, they said no, then as he does, he hinted for a donation to his group to leave then alone, the CAF wouldn't, so he went to their big donors like coke, etc. and threatened boycots if they didn't quit supporting the CAF, so they quit donating, so CAF ended up changing the name. Jack$on did the same thing to NASCAR racing, saying there wasn't enough black race drivers in NASCAR, they ended up donating $100,000 to him and he left them alone.

    But most of the problems in the U.S. related to race is due to vote hungry politicians. Blacks are only 12% of the entire population of the U.S., yet they get anything they want brom the politicans and their puppet federal judges. Maybe Whites and Native Americans needs to forget about party politics and vote out all White politicians who caters to blacks for votes and elect new blood whose for all people not just blacks and hispanics for votes.

    We in the South are losing our heritage and culture while blacks and Mexicans are craming theirs down our throats. Public schools are allowing black/African-American and Hispanic heritage and culture clubs in "public schools", but denying White clubs, such as European Decscent clubs, such as Scottish, Ulster-Scot, English, Irish, German descent clubs.

    And not being a racist, but I'm sick of seeing Spanish signs, etc. in my area. We have been an English speaking land since 1607, when Jamestown was settled. And an English speaking nation over 200 years.
