Irish Slavery and the Myth of American Exceptionalism

FáilteWelcome to The Village Oak TreeI’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.Thank you for joining me again this week.I want talk about a couple of related and likely very controversial topics today that might upset a few people. Especially anyone who still believes in that myth of American exceptionalism.I don’t have any news stories to share this week, but I do have a couple of references I will add to the end in the written portion, along with a YouTube video from Lena Petrova. I do have one picture of an antique sign I will share with you that’s hanging on my office wall. It came from a shop in Boston, MA dated 1915 and has been passed down through my family for a couple of generations now.So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit while I try to paint a picture of the Americans as they truly are, despite the hype around the world that’s been trying to tell us otherwise for decades.Please visit www.crann-na-beatha.com to learn more about the author and more.
