The British made the Irish slaves and oppressed them so throughout history the Irish have always been allies of black people for the most.part.

I mean 150,000 of them right off the boat from Ireland who were slaves to the British did fight for the North in the Civil War to free African Americans.

So it's one of those accept the good with the bad.

Irish service to the Union
The northern states remained loyal to the United States government, which was led by President Abraham Lincoln. Irish-Americans living in the Union states often formed their own regiments, notably the 69th New York State Volunteers. The Volunteers flew a green flag with a golden harp on it, symbolizing Ireland.[1]

Seven Union generals were Irish-born and 150,000 Irish-Americans fought for the Union during the war. At the 1862 Battle of Fredericksburg, the Union Irish Brigade charged up Marye's Heights, suffering 41.4% casualties.[3] During the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, the Irish Brigade held a Catholic mass before battling Confederate troops

I meant before any slave trade. Before the 1600s before the term 'white' came into fruition.

Please stop confusing people with your lack of knowledge, breh

six Confederate generals were Irish-born.

On March 3, 1863, Congress passed the Enrollment Act which required single men age 20 to 45 and married men up to age 35 to register for the draft. This act angered many whites, mainly Irish, who then living in northern states as immigrants signed as U.S. citizens were now expected to fight for the new nation, not realizing it too made the immigrants liable for the draft. The Irish feared that freed slaves would migrate to the North and add further competition to the labor market.

A few days after the Enrollment Act was passed, in March 6, 1863, the Detroit Race Riot of 1863 erupted in Detroit, Michigan, as Irish rioted for days over the draft as well as targeting against the blacks. Although not as destructive, the fear was about to come 4 months later. In July 13–16, as the first draft were to be held in New York City, the Irish then launched the 1863 New York City draft riots. Stores were looted and newspaper buildings that supported the Union were ransacked and burned to the ground. The rioters then targeted blacks as many saw the American Civil War as a war to free the slaves and blamed them for the draft as well as the war. Many blacks were caught by the mob, stabbed, and lynched as a result.

Everyone that fought for the Union wasn't fighting to end slavery.

Early 20th century, the Irish were treated like shyt, had to compete with blacks for the lowest jobs, so they went hard against blacks for these jobs and to gain acceptance.

I don't know much about the 1600s please educate me.
