My first thought is a quick throat punch. My father was racist as fuck. Growing up, we heard it everyday. He came from a Mob Irish family. I know a lot about thugs. My father built nuclear power plants around the world and was part of the Washington DC business roundtable for years. But, he still was a misogynistic, racist, thug at heart…

I know exactly who these people are. They really don't hide it. I call it passive racism. King Shitpants gave them a free pass on their racist misogynistic bullshit. He exposed them to us. It's easier to hate. Look for a scapegoat. I'm fighting for my biracial grandchildren. I want to protect them from people who look like me.
I am with you, political correctness only serves to hide the real person. I want to know who a person really is, and the only way to know that is not to have them self censor.
The racism of Irish and Italians is a case study. Both groups were not considered white. and only became white when they lost their accent and integrated.
There were signs on the lawn in Boston, Irish and dogs keep off the lawn.
Oliver Cromwell sent 50,000 Irish to the various colonies as slaves, not indentured servants
I am, by DNA testing of three companies, majority Irish. I have a book Irish Slaves.
Fathers side Sisk, Neil, Whitehead, mothers side Connolly, McClary, McCann.
Avocation is a genetic genealogist. in research I found in the estate papers of a distant cousin, who share the surname, a tax document which lists, under clock, a white male between the age of 21 and 50., this was 1860 in Alabama.
Yet these descendants of people who were once considered non white and discriminated against (See Gangs of New York) have produced some vicious racists. See the bussing riots of Boston, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, even Italians, whom to this day are not fully accepted as white, and then there rae the Hispanics.
Igrew up in a project that was being integrated in 1954/55. My mother dated the brother of neighbor, the Edwards, who were among the first blacks to integrate, my sister dated a nephew, Paul.
I didn't know racism, until I moved to Louisiana when I was 17 and lived with my grandparents, but then again at that time my schools and neighborhood were Lilly white.
You're very Irish. My father found out he's 78% Irish. My German ancestors came here in 1609. My Italian ones came in 1898. I did have 4% African in my DNA. Holy shit, I hope it was love. I don't know if the German side owned slaves. I was told they were pacifists and farmers. Some did fight for the union. Actually, some slave owners didn't want their slaves used when digging up Louisiana because they were dying of malaria. They were their commodity. They sent in the Irish instead. Not many jobs available to them. That's why so many of my Irish relatives were involved in organized crime. Rumrunners and such.
You have a very important perspective because you lived it. I grew up whiter than wonder bread. Not much depth there. I love history. It explains the what and why's of life. It's hard for me to read the book Caste. I ball my eyes out. To put myself in their shoes is the least I can do. I have much to teach my grandbabies. Thank you for responding to my comment. Most appreciated.
Your ancestor arrived in Jamestown in time for the Starving time of Cannibalism 1609 - 1610
1609, the Virginia Company sent two relief voyages to Jamestown, Virginia:
July 1609: The Mary and John arrived at Jamestown, carrying Captain Samuel Argall and supplies. Argall's ship was the first to use Jamestown as a port.
Mid-August 1609: Some ships arrived at Jamestown with 300 colonists and few supplies.
The story of the Third supply, probably your ancestor was on one of the shipshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamestown_supply_missions#:~:text=In%20early%201609%2C%20Captain%20Samuel,mouth%20of%20the%20Chesapeake%20Bay.

he obviously survived the starving time, and you know his name, it should be recorded in the Muster of 1624/25 http://www.virtualjamestown.org/Muster/muster24.html
FYI, I am a genetic genealogist and have edited some of those wikipedia pages.
