"It's so hot down here, and my legs are aching with pain, unbearable pain. I have been on this ship for weeks; my neck chained to others just like me. I am no better than the horses I groomed back home. There are 300 of us waiting to arrive at our masters' homes in America.

"Oh God, the pain. The collar on my neck ... so tight and tearing into my muscles. If only I would go numb ... if only I could sleep, sleep forever.

"My stomach is swelling from starvation. I haven't eaten in days. None of us have. What I would give for some hot soup and a nice bed to lie in. I do not want to live any longer, and as each day passes, I know I it may be my last. If only the blessings of death would deliver me from my new life ... a life I did not ask for.

"Yesterday, 10 of the other slaves were thrown overboard, dead from the starvation and disease. They drug each one up to the main deck and threw them into the sea. One large unknown grave, but I will not forget them.

"Colin was the first to go. It was sad. He was my best friend, and 10 years old just like me. I knew he wouldn't make it ... so thin and fragile.

"The sweat dripping from his brow ravaged by fever, his body shook for days ... oh, how he would moan from the pain. His body lay beside me for a long time before they discovered he was dead. They don't come down here to the bottom of the ship very often. There's no need. We're not human...

"There isn't much room in this small hole, so many of us sleep on top of one another in large piles. Oh God, I am so thirsty ... but, sometimes my mind wanders, and I think of my family. Their memory relieves me from the pain and agony. I cannot stop thinking about them, and I do not want to. My mother's sweet caress and the laughter of my father gets me through each day, but I know I will never see them again.

"I am so tired ... help me, please? Somebody? Anybody? I just want to go home ... I just want to go home."

The above story would have been a common experience to the slaves aboard ships traveling to America. Some estimates say as many as 100,000 young boys and girls were kidnapped and brought here to work in their masters' homes and on their plantations.

But there is a part to this story that you haven't been told. The slaves were not black, nor were they African; these were white children ripped from their mothers' arms at terribly young ages. Irish and Scottish boys and girls, living in poverty on the streets of England, sold into perpetual slavery.

Most of you have never heard their story. Hardly any books, no movies like "Amistad" (ironically, of which the main character, Cinque, was a slave trader himself), no long history classes in school reminding them yearly of the evils of slavery, but most importantly no billion-dollar reparations case. No civil-rights attorney preparing class-action lawsuits and screaming in a feverish pitch, "THEY WERE VICTIMS!!!" ... as is occurring as I write this.

The reparations class-action lawsuit for African-Americans currently being prepared by attorney Edward Fagan (famous for his squeeze of Swiss banks, netting billions of dollars to alleged Jewish holocaust survivors) will target Lloyd's of London, Barclays Bank and the U.S. government. They are requesting $1 million for each recipient and billions of dollars in contributions to a general education fund.

Tragically, you'll never see a reparations lawsuit for white slaves that were stolen from their families and brought to colonial America in the 17th and 18th centuries. There are reasons for this, and Edward Fagan and his cohorts understand the consequences. If America recognizes or at least remembers the slave trade of white Europeans to American shores, the reparations case is bust. African-Americans and, more importantly, Edward Fagan, won't get paid.

The reparations business is eerily similar to the violent liquor-store holdups and armed robberies that occur in urban areas around the country. Instead of armed weapons, they use the language and services of silver-tongued, greedy lawyers as their weapon of choice, but the philosophy is still the same. One group robs another of their money, but instead of criminals dressed in doo-rags, football jerseys and oversized trousers, they wear $1,000 Armani suits and an expensive Rolex. However, the words of urban street thugs or high-priced shakedown artists are still the same - "Stick 'em up!"

I used to get angry when news of the latest reparations scam was brought to my attention. Now I just shake my head in disgust as I think about the tens of thousands of white European children who died on the forgotten passage. Some accounts estimate that as many as 50 percent of the white children died from starvation, disease and torture. But what disgusts me more are the lives and stories of the children erased from our memories today. When we forget them, they die in vain and remain in the garbage pails of history behind the shadows of a privileged minority.

Hopefully, Irish residents in the Boston enclaves and the Scottish descendents that live in the Appalachian foothills will remember their past and the lives of their ancestors that went before them.

I know I will not forget the white European children and their sufferings, beatings, whippings, tortures and deaths. I also know I won't hide behind their tragedy and blame my failures or my circumstances on the sins of others.

Some history they may have forgotten to mention in school.

I sat in school next to children with Scottish surnames. We had no idea what contributions were made by the Scots. I recently posted a thread to an article decrying this lack of recognition here. I was hoping everyone would post more history that might energize us to our shared patriotic roots.

I remember reading painful letters written by German Protestants escaping the 30 Years War in Europe appealing to the British Crown for a safe haven in America, England or the Ulster Plantation of Northern Ireland. And those sailing ships were little more than eugenics experiments, so many died on their way to our shores.

Compare their experiences with the freebies we hand out to all the illegals, who hate this country, sending all their $$ back home and shout "Osama! Osama! Osama!" at soccer games, when the U.S. team leaves the field.

Were these not called 'indentured servants'?

Who ever hears about it either in MSM or in schools?
No racial consciousness for people of European heritage, all the others have it pumped up. No Christmas carols or creches on public property but menorahs aplenty.

Yes the umentionables in the school system today.
They were treated worse than the African slaves, highest death rate due to malnutrition, over-work, diseases, again all due to the fact that they weren't the PROPERTY of the plantation owners' so expendable, slaves were treated much, much better as they were worth something.

And orphaned Colonial/American children were "bound out" to a family for 7 - 10 years. This happened to one of my ancestors when her parents & grandparents died of in one of the epidemics of fever that came infrequently with the sailing ships (along with the sugar, rum and slaves up from the Caribbean). Her husband-to-be paid $100 (in KY ~1820, that was a lot of $$), to release her early from her servitude. She and her parents were American (Virginia) born.

They've taken our memories, our roots, we are the dispossessed majority.

My family on my Dad's side came from that kind of indentured servitude. Let me tell you, the Scottish take shit from no-one anymore. Built in Defiance.

William Wallace...

Actually, it is Robert The Bruce who defied England. William Wallace, although a real person in Scottish History, wasn't solely responsible for the independence of Scotland.
