Once again, foiled by my insistence on keeping all my drugs in pill form. Speaking of which: Another addition from a guy I added on Facebook after I met him at my friend's party and assumed he was friends with my friend. He was not. He posts/shares some stuff that is questionable, this one from "Choice and Truth".

Speaking of which: Googling 'depression mushrooms cure' immediately brings up a bunch of news articles from legitimate sites talking about how scientists are studying psilocybin as a possible aid for people who don't respond to SSRI's. So I don't know, crazy hippie person. Maybe medicine doesn't want to just start flinging psychedelics at people who already have unstable mental states without sufficient research and testing.

Clochette posted:NO IRISH NEED APPLY signs were possibly a thing 100 years ago Last year a 14 year-old high school girl did some independent research, found a whole bunch of evidence that the signs were reasonably common, and got a paper published about it. When an Irish news site put up a brief article about this, Richard Jensen showed up in the comments section to tell everyone how he was totally right and the girl, Rebecca Fried (to be commended for her youthful spirit, to be sure!), is wrong and her research is faulty. Then she also shows up and very politely corrects him (a little way down, both posting under their real names): http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/High-school-student-disproves-professors-theory-that-No-Irish-Need-Apply-signs-never-existed.html There's also a Daily Beast write-up that includes this gem: quote:This is, after all, how the abstract in Jensen’s paper ends: Apraxin has a new favorite as of 19:20 on Mar 6, 2016 |

The Irish were treated like poo poo, but at the end of the day they were still white. As far as I know, they were more like indentured servants. Still horrible, but not exactly the same as the targeted enslavement of an entire race.

I thought that, for a long time, the Irish specifically weren't considered white. Same with Italians and Slavs. "Whiteness" is a pretty fluid concept that doesn't always line up with skin colour.

Elderbean posted:People who bring up Irish slavery are generally just trying to make themselves feel like special snowflakes for being part irish while downplaying the legitimate racism taking place today. The article linked wasn't about the "indentured servants were slaves" thing, which I agree is nonsense. Indentured servitude may not have been a lot of fun (and may have left some indentured servants vulnerable to exploitation) but it wasn't slavery. The article was about the existence of "Help Wanted: No Irish Need Apply" signs and advertisements. (No point crossing the streams there, it just creates confusion.) I find the whole thing fascinating because I'm an old fart and I remember getting schooled on anti-Irish sentiment and discrimination in the U.S. back when I was in high school. Jensens's paper and other people's random "the Irish were never discriminated against and those NINA signs never existed" stuff on the internet the past couple of years, apparently mostly inspired by Jensen's original paper, were questionable to me, but I'm no scholar, so I could make no argument against it. I'd love to read both Jensen's and Fried's papers in their entirety, but of course they're not available. (Edit for clarity. And grammar, damnit.)

Granted, this is anecdotal, but my great grandmother (I forget if she was a first or second generation) wasn't shy about telling us that she had to work under an assumed name because of how rabid the anti-Irish sentiment of the time was.

I thought the original researcher was trying to prove that Irish immigrants didn't suffer as much as other races/nationalities, then I got to this part. quote:Jensen argued that other anti-immigrant groups were similarly unsuccessful. “Likewise there were few visible effects of the APA movement of the 1890s, or the KKK in the 1920s.” Of course, the KKK secured the passage of the most restrictive laws against immigration in our country’s history in 1924, but Jensen ignores that fact. So turns out he may just be a bigot.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:I thought that, for a long time, the Irish specifically weren't considered white. Same with Italians and Slavs. "Whiteness" is a pretty fluid concept that doesn't always line up with skin colour. Someone on another forum asked about this and some people more educated than myself answered. "Whiteness" is a very modern concept in terms of human history, dating back to the 19th century in its current form as an effort to better "otherize" blacks, Asians, and the various tribal sorts being conquered at the time. Before that, most areas of the world (especially Europe) were a good deal more homogenous in the modern sense of the term. A black person walking into a 14th century English village would, as one person called it, be reacted to like a two-headed sheep. Outside of major trading ports, non-white individuals in much of Europe would have been rare or impossible to find. This doesn't mean that racism didn't exist, of course. On the contrary, racial and ethnic divides were even deeper than they are now. Differences that would be considered minor quirks today (like slight variations in skin tone like the Italians, certain hair colors like red or blonde, and customs like dress and cuisine) could out someone as part of a different ethnic group. The strife that exists today existed back then, but between different subsets of "white" people for the most part. This kind of racism was merely transferred onto African and islander society when they met. As the centuries went on, efforts to justify the abuse of primitive tribes and African civilizations led to the development of new racial theories, like the use of phrenology to justify the supposed genetic inferiority of blacks. It became convenient for those in power to try and unite people of European descent as the truly evolved apex of humanity. That said, this ethnic strife still exists. Just look at the Balkans.
