Phil Lynott even got a hard time as a young man and he is one of the greatest Irishmen who ever lived, just listen to the songs he wrote about the place he loved so much.
@The505Guys LOL. You're ridiculous. The Irish are NOT an "ethnic group," you silly ass fool. White, Asian and Black are ethnic groups---"Irish" is a culture and a nationality.
I think with black people in Europe oppose to America have a different issue. Black people were not in the U.K. for many centuries in large numbers so any half black or fully black person cannot obviously be a native or be fully native. A lot of them had black African fathers so when people ask her where she is from yes she is from Ireland but she should just say her dad was Nigerian. Someone who is full Irish or German is white. Just like someone who is NIgerian is black. Native Irish people have clans like Africans have tribes. I get she is have so its still complex but idk why people act like the original Irish were black. People should just ask which one of her parents were born outside of Ireland.
@@jasminepearls1047 Why should she say her Father is/was Nigerian (I dunno if he os still alive)? Why should people "just" ask which of her parents was born outside of Ireland? Is it because you said so??? She does not have to explain herself to anyone if she doesn't want to, and people should just accept that. Naturally people are curious, and if respectful she might explain her background to them, but if she chooses not to then thats no big deal and the subject shpuld be dropped. Also why do you presume that at least one of her parents was born outside of Ireland? That is not obvious and does not have to nesacarally be the case anyway. If she answered that her Dad was the one and she followed up by saying he was born in England ( I know it was Nigeria, but lets pretend for now), would people be satisfied with that answer? No they wouldn't and you know it. It is obvious she has a likely traceable and probably relatively recent non Irish element to her background. So what, big deal. The woman is as Irish as anyone else who can claim to be. End of story
Hey, Oona you ARE Irish because your birth mother is Irish and you were BORN in Ireland regardless of what your fellow countrymen or anyone else says! Btw, I'm a black American and YOU look just like one of my sisters. Also, most of my family members took a DNA test several years ago, and we all have Irish genes! I have about 15% Irish DNA! God bless you, Oonna, and stay strong!😀❤
That was a great interview she came across like a lovely person I suppose it just takes time to find out who you are and where you belong in the world 💚🇮🇪
Ethnicity and Nationally are two different things. The Irish share alot of their genes with Scottish, irish, Welsh, the geals/Celt is an ethnicity. In this case it is her nationality so she's Irish in that sense because there's a difference between nationality and ethnicity.
Yup, idk why that's so hard for some people to grasp. Of course someone who grew up in Ireland isn't going to pretend to be from somewhere they're not lol.
I agree but I think both are key in shaping an identity. For example, a Korean guy living in Ireland will probably know more about Irish history(as taught in schools), pop culture and current government than I do as an Irish American. What he lacks for a traditionally Irish identity would be Irish cuisine(at home), religion, folklore, and tradition like a family crest. Also there is specific genetic code that can determine if someone is native Irish. So yes the Korean guy has Irish nationality but I wouldn’t consider him Irish as it is a unique racial group.
@@jackhughes7840 he wouldn't be Irish racially but he would be Irish in terms of being a citizen. I would consider him more Irish than some American with Irish ancestors if the American did not have citizenship. When the Irish Government says Irish people, they generally mean citizens. "Irish people can vote" means anyone with Irish citizenship.
It’s so amusing how people with ignorant, prejudice views deliberately go out of their way to find videos like this to spread their hate in the comments section. Pathetic.
There is nothing ignorant about recognizing the uniqueness of European ethnic groups. Having citizenship of a country does not make a person part of a certain ethnic group. For example, people of European backgrounds with Australian citizenship are not Aboriginal. Likewise, someone of African ancestry may be an Irish citizen, but not ethnically Irish.
Crazy I found her because I’m a Collins from America and always wondered about the last name knowing it came from the name Colin and is Irish and Scottish
Wow you can see her Irish within her. Within her nose yes me being an mixed- race with Irish to get the same stare 👀 out in public because they look to figure you out because we look different like she said foreigners.
They should not ask that to her as things have changed so much recently, She is not ethniclally Irish but nationally we should accept her if she was born here. You see this all the time in Japan with people who are not ethnically Japanese but where born there.
I think saying she or others like her are of a cultural mix is wrong since she was born and brought up in Ireland. Culturally she is Irish but she could be called mixed race but who isn't if you look down history.
That is a lovely lady. X In the past about 2 years I have become reluctant/cautious about asking a person who is not white where they are from as I have seen that this can be considered an insult or an unwanted question which as an irish person I find hard to understand. If I as a white person went to Africa/China or wherever and nobody asked me where I originated from I'd be put out!! Isn't asking about that a sign of interest in the person and an opportunity to learn about our different cultures, foods, music etc etc?
Well said Oona! It's staggering and sad how some people presume so much, when they know so little! Such types are actually just plain rude. Keep your graciousness as you respond to those googlies. Stay in the proverbial crease to enlighten those of "The Flat Earth Society." Oye Vaay!!
This is so awesome and I almost didn't take a look at the very first video. What a pleasure to see this beautiful woman and the previous video. Now I will watch all of them. I want to find out who I am also. I was adopted by my own dad, but by another woman who gave me the world so to speak. Then after she died I found out the real truth from my Godmother. What a revelation.
Well, Irish like Scottish like English, like Welsh are ethnicities. "The Irish (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are an ethnic group and nation native to the island of Ireland, who share a common Irish ancestry, identity and culture. Ireland has been inhabited for about 12,500 years according to archaeological studies". This lady is therefore part-Irish by her mother and part-African by her father, speaking ethnically, but is culturally Irish being born and brought up surrounded by Irish traditions. It's in no way racist to point that out. That back in the 60's, 70s people would stare and want to touch her hair although I think they shouldn't have, I can understand. Just as African tribes when they first encountered a white person, they would've have been just as curious and they were. Touching their skin, their hair for the simple reason that they'd never seen it before. Would you have called them racist?
I get what you are saying black Europeans have a weird predicament but even in America the black people who were not born in the U.S. or whose parents were not from the U.S. will tell you. But there is a native population of black people who make up most of the U.S. black population who has been in the US. since the 1700s or even 1600s so people dont typically ask black Americans where they are from because we have been in the U.S. longer than some of the white Americans. I would think in the 2000s anybody would know not to touch people without their permission though thats disrespectful and weird.
@@jasminepearls1047 I've been to the States a few times for I've friends who live in Michigan. I find it hard to believe that anyone let alone a white American would ask a black person where they're from. America is a land of immigrants from all parts of the world and, sadly, Africans who didn't have any choice so if you want to know where every American is from originally you'd spend your day, instead of sight seeing, asking that question. Have you ever heard of the rock singer, Phil Lynott, whose mother was white Irish and father a Brazilian, who left his wife and child of 3 weeks old. He was brought up in Ireland. I read somewhere that someone asked him if he was Irish and he replied "Yes, I'm a bit like Guiness beer". Guiness beer, if you didn't know, is very, very dark with a lot of froth on top. Sadly he passed away in 1986, I think, from a drug overdose.
@@jasminepearls1047 I don't think that in the 2000s people would do that for Western countries have become so multicultural that people from different countries moreso Africa are very much run of the mill and don't generate much interest.
What a gentle soul and yes people do get annoyed with you when they don't get the answer they have cobbled together in their head that matches the media representation of cultures, Irish - red hair and freckles, etc., it is quite amazing. Lovely interview. I remember being asked where I was "really from" due to my heavy south east london accent and a similarly annoyed person, and I said "I can do this all the live long day, you can ask me in all the tones you like, still going keep saying lewisham". It became my stock answer at quite a young age - very tedious for me and generally confusing from the person who is refusing to learn that their assumption is wrong and maybe, maybe this is a moment in their life they need to have a wider view, but the arrogance of being white and right just keeps them going.
Sadley being mixed race always leads to problems for many people , identity, were you belong , shame people are so iresponsible, with their relationships

a biafran father who went to the royal college of surgeons would be easy to trace as he would have become like a professor in Nigeria..either in his 80s or dead now..she should have made an attemot to trace him at least...
You are a beautiful Irish woman and should be very proud! Your mum was Irish and your father was African but you are fully Irish in your nationality and culture.... Ethnically of course your considered mixed race. Just like Phil lynott Paul mgrath Kevin Sharkey Samantha Mumba etc .... I myself am a 33 year old guy born and raised in Donnybrook. I am also mixed race as my mother is Irish and my father was Arabic. Yes things have changed a good bit since the 60s and 70s etc for kids growing up ... But we as mixed race or even those adopted, who may have darker looking features, always have to defend our identities at times when we are asked where we are really from etc ! Even though we know we are Irish and our close family and friends do . We still will get asked the question, obviously not everyone will ask us but definitely the majority are curious I think more than anything. I also think that in our society now being so multicultural and with may different ethnicities around.. we are bound to get asked even more where we are from or originally from ... I do think we get so used to it after a while but I fully understand how annoying it can be for many who hate having to defend their identity... Keep shining and holding your head up high 😇💋
That was a lovely comment and I agree with you about at times feeling annoyed about being asked where are you from. I was often asked the same question growing up. But here's the funny thing. I'm Irish. Both my parents are Irish. However my father was a bank manager and we moved many times around Ireland because of his occupation. Inevitably myself and my siblings got asked the question where are you from. In my case that was a difficult question as where I was born in Ireland was not where my parents were born in Ireland. And I left where I was born when I was just 2 years of age. So I could never give a clear answer and I was asked about where I was "from" a lot simply because my accent was very mixed. I do understand now that Ireland in the 60s and 70s when you and I and this lady were growing up - that Ireland was a small country where the majority of people didn't move around much, didn't generally marry outside their community and anyone whether they looked or sounded different were an object of curiosity. When people now ask me where I'm from - I simply say 'here'. 💚☘

We have a term called black Irish for Irish born with black hair and brown eyes But no we are gaels from mainland Europe and one of the last indo European groups you can only have white gaels Iberian celts give us the term black Irish they come from northern spain and Portugal and traded with Irish celts for hundreds of years even before the romans. This gave a group of Irish slightly darker skin with the hair and eyes to match but this is hundreds of years old and Iberian celts are extinct But this is only a theory it’s too old to be 100% The other is the Spanish Armada that sank off the coast of Ireland during the wars against Britain and the Spanish saved by Irish puts black Irish into play. Out of these two most people believe the first

I myself am a 33 year old guy born and raised in Donnybrook. I am also mixed race as my mother is Irish and my father was Arabic. Yes things have changed a good bit since the 60s and 70s etc for kids growing up ... But we as mixed race or even those adopted, who may have darker looking features, always have to defend our identities at times when we are asked where we are really from etc ! Even though we know we are Irish and our close family and friends do . We still will get asked the question, obviously not everyone will ask us but definitely the majority are curious I think more than anything. I also think that in our society now being so multicultural and with may different ethnicities around.. we are bound to get asked even more where we are from or originally from ... I do think we get so used to it after a while but I fully understand how annoying it can be for many who hate having to defend their identity... Keep shining and holding your head up high 😇💋
That was a lovely comment and I agree with you about at times feeling annoyed about being asked where are you from. I was often asked the same question growing up. But here's the funny thing. I'm Irish. Both my parents are Irish. However my father was a bank manager and we moved many times around Ireland because of his occupation. Inevitably myself and my siblings got asked the question where are you from. In my case that was a difficult question as where I was born in Ireland was not where my parents were born in Ireland. And I left where I was born when I was just 2 years of age. So I could never give a clear answer and I was asked about where I was "from" a lot simply because my accent was very mixed.
I do understand now that Ireland in the 60s and 70s when you and I and this lady were growing up - that Ireland was a small country where the majority of people didn't move around much, didn't generally marry outside their community and anyone whether they looked or sounded different were an object of curiosity. When people now ask me where I'm from - I simply say 'here'. 💚☘
@@polly8981 thanks Polly and yes I agree
Wait until the Martians arrive that will give youse something to think about . Anyway she was a lovely girl

Oh really.
Interesting series of videos. Unfortunately all prime for all the paid-per-post trolls and misery angels that the Journal is so well known for.
Do you really think people get paid to troll videos?

She is Hebrew by heritage Irish by citizenship.
Lmao
She's not Hebrew 😂
not irish.
Irish is a nationally . A nationality is a sovereign state in which you belong to and hold citizenship for , so yes , she’s Irish
@@JackRowleyy Irish is an ethnic group. You can’t even spell and paper Irish isn’t a nationality, so no, she’s not Irish.
@@Obs23456 as I said , she’s 50% African and 50% Irish , and born in Ireland . She is definitely entitled to call herself Irish or African if she pleases .
@@JackRowleyy paper Irish isn’t Irish, you can’t even place commas correctly and your Irish mother burning coal doesn’t make you Irish, she’s not apart of the history of this country
@@JackRowleyy black =\= Irish
More propaganda from the soviet irish media
which propaganda? Someone that is half Irish and Half Nigerian is still Irish from nationality and part Heritage.

@Al Person she's is Irish get over it 🇬🇧
@Al Person she's Irish get over it 🇬🇧
Same thing I was going to say. I'm noticing similarities between some Caribbean accents and the Irish accent!
There is a strong connection between Irish and Afro Caribbeans. Look up "Irish and Jamaican Patois"
@@NaturallyLluvme check the video about monsteratt. It's the most irish carribbean country.

Maith thú
Its about culture not color. And anyhow, over 10,000 years ago all humans migrated ultimately from Africa to different climate regions and generation to generation genomes began to mutate due to ecological affects. So I don't understand the refusal of the truth right in front of fearful and willfully ignorant peoples faces. Education seems to be key here. As with all advances forward to a more civilized human world society. One of many examples of physical scientific evidence is in this artical. May God bless us all. www.irishcentral.com/news/cheddar-man-dark-skin-first-irish
Propaganda.
how exactly?
Can you please touch on how this is propaganda? She's just sharing her life experiences, so how is that propaganda?
@@slothful2039 >Black
>Irish
How is it not propaganda, it's blatantly untrue.
@@slothful2039 if you have to explain it to you then you will never understand the answer, too thick.
@@slothful2039it's saying that the Irish race means nothing and it can be replaced with anybody, it's preparing ethnic cleansing
Of course there irish
"Where are you "Really" from? What a crazy question from the person who has to hear it.
I've heard that at least 1000 times growing up here.
This touching oh hair thing it so overblown. When a people see something they aren't used to they're curious. It's happened all through history when new cultres met
Just because a person speaks of their experience doesn't make it 'overblown' ... Oona barely mentioned it.
Nobody asked you
No. No you're not Irish.
Beautiful woman. How funny people are. No questions a European American, or a White South African or a White Australian...
Are there any black Irish people who aren't mixed?
We have a term called black Irish for Irish born with black hair and brown eyes
But no we are gaels from mainland Europe and one of the last indo European groups you can only have white gaels
Iberian celts give us the term black Irish they come from northern spain and Portugal and traded with Irish celts for hundreds of years even before the romans. This gave a group of Irish slightly darker skin with the hair and eyes to match but this is hundreds of years old and Iberian celts are extinct
But this is only a theory it’s too old to be 100%
The other is the Spanish Armada that sank off the coast of Ireland during the wars against Britain and the Spanish saved by Irish puts black Irish into play.
Out of these two most people believe the first
There are no black irish people at all. There are mostly mixed people and some immigrants from asia amd africa
Isn't Irish a race?
its an ethnicity
It's a whole different dimension!
Hi fellow irish woman
At the end of the day we are all citizens on a small planet.. its time we grew up and shared the world evenly.😊
It's destruction of your culture, history and identity, it's a genocide
Tell me how can a immigrant be Irish
If they get irish citizenship
No she isn’t! She dosen’t look irish so she can’t be part of the tribe
Your dumb
She's literally born from an Irish person lol. So she has the genetics.
@@slothful2039mixed with invader genetics
Yes, glad to hear Ireland us making progress. Maybe because there is a lot more diversity. There lots of west Africans and Asians in Ireland.
Globalist shill
@@johnderevolt5065 not everyone is a white or a white nationalist like you, that doesn't mean they like the globalists
Why's this being recommended to me? Yawn whatever take a knee boring af
Where you really from” thought was only a North American thing.
the original beings of this earth are the moors/mu"urs let alone Ireland, either when someone asks where r you really from, when before that the person told them where they where from.... either the person asking is beyond ignorant r that person his being clever.... for those who don't know what clever means.... (it means cunning". us moor/mu"urs/ r the mother's n fathers of civilization"...... literally, we created all of the non moors/mu"urs through genetical engineering...... not that long ago we used to rule this complete earth plain".
Lol you blacks certainly love your stories don't you, funny how you call us culture vultures yet claim you owned and we're originally everything under the sun anything from the irish to the Greeks to the meso arabs
yourself, your kind have played a very insignificant part in history"...... so just keep propping up the lies and the fraud mate....
@@JohnSmith-xg2yf it was just the other day that you rh negative recessive rhesus monkey's, hybridized, descendants of the Neanderthal/ denisovan/hominids were invented by my forebears"...... it was yacoub the great high priest of anu/ainu who started the original genetical engineering experiments"...... that spliced and grafted your kind along with all of the other hybridized species! by the way the name yacoub is in all of the religious context! yacoub was a great moorish/m"uurish high priest"...... zacharia sitchin talks about this in all of the books he wrote on the anunnaki moors/mu"urs..... this is all facts".... we moors/mu"urs talk facts! not stories, your kind have no standing in history"..... we moors/mu"urs our the the humans on earth" what's really funny is that your kind get into ego tripping when us moors/mu"urs lay down the facts! so if it pleases you, continue to prop up the fictitious/fraud/ lies that you wights made up about history bruv!)
moreover lots of you so-called blacks are propping up wight supremacy".
@@JohnSmith-xg2yf more facts, lol..... some of you hybridized wights are born with tail's". I agree with you that lots of so-called blacks love their stories! that's out of ignorance and lack of self awareness"...... the university of Carolina came out and said that the moors/mu"urs have been here in the Americas for more than 850,000 year's" it's more than that thou! us moors/mu"urs have never not been here! in other words we have always been here! all of the other hybridized species/ races are born with tails also".... the date of 850,000 is way beyond the date that my forebears invented all of use hybridized species". .
Sorry for her trouble..
