From reading comments on here I was clearly wrong. I'm just off to tell people who think they've been discriminated against that some white British blokes said it wasn't a problem.

 

I keep seeing the term white apologist being waved around and I think its nonsense, just because I recognise that there are privileges in the world relating to my sex, sexuality and skin colour doesn't mean I'm apologising for my existence or asking forgiveness in some way, it just means I can understand that throughout my life I've had opportunities not given to others.

 

Slave traders were responsible for the dehumanisation and spread of lies that have provided the backbone to many of the racial prejudices that still prevail today.

What's the scottish gaelic word for crofter again?

Something like "tcheutka"

A shepherd we spent a while with in a pub in Mull bac in the early 90s gave us a valuable lesson in history/politics of the Highlands/Islands.

 

Ah!

"tcheutka"

or "choochter" phonetically as I remember it, was used to describe the "culchies" from the Highlands and Islands by the oh-so-well educated wans in the Glasgie an Tayforth Officer Training Corps.

Thanks Sutton,

It`s Tuechter ....

 

"Someone from The Highlands of Scotland. Not always from the East coast as everyone likes to think. Usually come from rural areas of The Highlands, where Gaelic is spoken in parts. Often mocked for their 'Heilan' accents and lack of knowledge about city living. Most think they live in an area with no technology, but they too have broadband (when it works!) mobile phones and TV .... !"    

"Basically the Scottish equivalent of an American hick."

Hells Bells, tis well known that Dublin was the slave trading capital of the Viking period, under Viking rule.

But indigenous tribes enslaved, not Africans(otherwise I might have inherited a bigger willy, aint life such a bitch)

Btw I ponder if the Vikings found the native American peoples too tough a nut to crack, such that they made no Viking inroads on the American continent, despite reasonable grounds for accepting that the Vikings MUST have discovered the American coastline.

I worked with an irishman from Cork who looked a bit southern med/arabic. He said he'd traced his irish ancestry back to the Spanish Armada. He claimed some of those who survived the storms that sunk most of the fleet never went home but settled in UK/Ireland. Who knows? Good story tho
