Your parents were fortunate to come from a country where passports were accessible to them. The million+ Irish emigrants prior to WW1 would not have had passports as they were not generally needed for international travel at the time. Highlanders (& Irish) burnt out of their homes wouldn’t have had documents. People escaping war, threats of violence/torture/death, don’t tend to have the option of heading to their local passport office before escaping, especially if the threat is coming from the state. You have no concept of the lives & trauma these young people have experienced but, of all western nations, I’d expect the Irish to have a little more empathy. After the famine years, the majority of Irish emigrants were economic migrants- you’d think you’d be a bit more welcoming to others in that position.
@@Lorrico14does us a favour with your spouting...most of these people coming to Ireland and the Uk are economic migrants who are throwing their passports in the ocean ..they're not fleeing war as they've left their women and children behind and many return home for holidays...you need to wake up and wise up to what's really going on because while sleepy people like you believe that dross more and more of our own people are having to suffer the consequences , which for some is fatal.
I dunno, ask Trump. I'm sure he'd have some good advice since he's having to deal with the concern of white people becoming a minority in the US. He'd probably be delighted to take your call too since you're white 😒
You know nothing of the bullying I took from black kids in school in England when my father took us to London for a better life and work,,, how dare you virtue signalling for me, I'm ashamed of you for that,,,
Whose neck are Irish people kneeling on Imelda? I'm Irish, proud of my history and I am against the replacement of the ethnic Irish in their own homeland, call me racist for that if you want, I'm beyond caring.
Totally normal to try keep cultural heritage and identity intact, but sadly globalisation is unstoppable and soon that will challenge the ethnicity of all the countries. You are only one individual so you cant do anything about it, and the Irish law supports immigration more than average nations, because immigration is in the Irish blood and history, so maybe Irish people should point to a new national identity once the immigration has overtaken the country, I know that nobody likes to hear that bullshit but thats the reality.
The so called great replacement is a fascist lie. You should remember all of those Irish who fought against fascism in Spain in 1936 to 39. You cannot be selective in liberty.... It must be liberty for all. The oppressor seeks to divide the working class to keep us weak.
The people on the island of Ireland are a mixture of backgrounds from pre Celtic, Celtic, Norse, Norma, English, French, German just mentioning a few from History. We are all, like our newer arrivals, blow ins. Divide and conquer is an imperialist mindset and it will not work. Build bridges NOT walls.
Who are the Irish kneeling on???? Please tell me because I can't find an instance, a law that's racist, a Garda, a soldier, a doctor, a priest, a teacher, a postman, a milk man that's been racist... What favor do we owe to the 3rd world, we couldn't even get a communion without having to fork over some money to africa. We had to give 10% of what we got.... All I got was a football, which I was so happy with... Yes the Irish emigrated, but went to similar cultures and had to work hard like my grand parents had too, but they came home, didn't have houses/rent paid for, clothes and food allowances, TV license paid for, a TV paid for, car license paid for etc etc etc.... These people who come here, come with there hands out, and demand more. An example a Bosnian woman approached us in a cafe with a card telling us her story in English, wouldn't leave us alone, we gave her €1 her reply was "its not enough"....... Can you imagine an Irish beggar saying that??? No. Even the junkies begging in Dublin say thanks, cheers or even god bless you..... I'm not a catholic either, but still cannot understand this Jesus on a cross reference, how is that offensive to foreigners, if anything the black people that have come here are more catholic than us now, a nigerian lady I work with goes to church 2 times a day. Should I find that offensive??? This poem is reading to much into events that happened in another country and is trying too hard to find a similarity in Ireland.

And if you are going to get into racist organised groups, would you care to compare them to the likes of Isis, Muslim brotherhood, black panthers.... Learn your history and your present day!

Just who is Imelda directing this at? What dramatic racist incident happened in Ireland that warrants this? The way she talks you'd think Floyd George was killed here and that everyone here is responsible. It's just a cheap virtue signalling stunt she's using for fame, not that she really cares about what happened. It's a pity that causes of genuine concern are cheapened in this fashion by people who barely know what they're on about.

There even race differences in intelligence. Different races build different civilisations. We are not equal due to these genetic differences.

Is it racist to say, there’s just to many people coming to this country which has a massive shortage of homes for the people who are here now, also 10,000 homeless people, why not say sorry we’re kind of full here when we have homes to accommodate you your welcome
It’s not but George Flyod wasn’t a immigrant he was an American killed because of his skin been predominantly black he had white heritage generations before but predominantly black is why he was killed her point is racism isn’t acceptable and she wants Ireland to not be racist , the homeless crisis should be solved for Irish people who are on the streets or crisis accommodation obviously
Hereticking the cop didn’t know his criminal record the cop had 18 reports , there’s a issue in America with vitriol and surpremacy as there is in South Africa from whites and blacks my ex is a white supremacist and he’s been in Ireland so I know how bad surpremacy is . George Flyod is just the boiling point nothing to do about Donald Trump because the whole world protested the fact the cop killed him not just arrested him put him in cuffs in the car he had vitriol without even knowing who was George Flyod wasn’t a migrant , many people make mistakes with drugs can’t judge him about his past either his daughter is still here and a parent lost again . There’s been many people framed in the criminal world who don’t murder but it’s covered as a criminal so it’s not a good idea in society to judge someone because of their past their background, if they used drugs or put people into frames or criteria’s because of their skin or past is more what divides people , excluding dividing because of the color of someone’s skin . I’m certainly not ignorant that’s why I don’t ignore racism when I see or hear about it I don’t just flog it as if evil abuse doesn’t exist the fact is it shouldn’t exist but it has happened that’s why we all want a better place, George Flyod was killed because of his color as he was American citizen but he happens to be predominantly black some white heritage but he was predominantly black and killed because of the color of his skin that’s why people had the boiling point about George Flyod and before George Flyod there was a innocent mother raped and her son stabbed by a jealous neighbor who hired a hot man in Miami but the hitman decided to rape her instead used a knife her son was harmed she was drugged her son called the cops the cops shot his mother then she died in hospital the little boy told what happened after there was huge uproar after it happend in Miami protests all the time but society tried to shove it down low because she and her son were migrants from Latin America the cops stopped protests apparently it was ok to do so cause they were migrants (which it wasn’t) but the protest fizzled on the grounds cops told people Hispanics have a crime level they thought she was trying to kill her son saying it was a mistake they thought she was trying to kill but really they killed her and people protested the obvious it was because she was Hispanic many other cases another was a few cops who targeted polish communities who had a bad past deported some harrased others simply because they weren’t American citizens then George Flyod who wasn’t a migrant was killed he was an American citizen for generations including some white blood but predominantly black. Racism doesn’t divide , marxists no body is saying other cultures are saints either this is about the color someone’s skin when she (Imelda May )talks about racism. Imelda May didn’t mention Donald Trump she talked about how we immigration which we all the time have done and so many in America so she isn’t trying to insult any of the many Irish Americans who are voting for Donald Trump as president she’s talking about racism , everyone’s entitled to opinion perhaps I read her differently but that’s how I read her she is saying racism is unnaceptable and she doesn’t agree with any of her homeland who are racists she which are thankfully a very small minority . You want to realize how color of skin doesn’t influence violence there’s black and and crimes of all colors but surpremacy is similar to a disease and the great news is it’s a disease which can be cured European caucasian countries including Scandinavia ,Ireland ,UK , Netherlands and some other non cacausin and caucasian mix countries such as France have the lowest disrespect and lowest violence against women in the world but yet white South Africans have the highest rate of domestic violence murders in the world and in 2019 1 woman every 3 hours murdered by domestic violence in South Africa was by majority white males the same as the South African husband who murdered a woman in county Clare who told her Irish neighbors if her husband does what he said to her before she gets on her flight home to send her daughters to her mother(her kids granny) in South Africa she told Irish neighbors in Clare her husband had been abusive and said he was telling her his surpremacy allows him to be the same as hitler and kill women this is not airy fairy lies this woman was murdered in cold blood as 1 woman in South Africa every 3 hours in 2019 was by domestic violence a scandal for most countries and media won’t highlight it many of us didn’t know as I didn’t til I had a bad experience by a South African supremacist and many who stil don’t know cause the majority of media outlets are just on the take for every story. There’s not 2 divides here I’m not ignorant anyways and “you all “ but I’m not ignorant and everyone’s individual so there’s not 2 divides in any society there’s not just 2 answers always has many more questions and not as simple as that. It’s also different to slag and have a laugh with friends about different cultures or where they from but if they are but vitriol and violence against that’s racism real racism and what happened to George Flyod was racism
Graham Reardon I’m not a gombeen disgraceful slander god help any black persons the names you would call them are you actually ticked cause Imelda says no to racism and I’m a Irish woman so do you like the white South African supremacists in Ireland which have supremacy ideology to abuse and violate women as seen in 2019 where 1 woman every 3 hours was murdered by domestic violence in South Africa majority by white males ?and the South African woman in Clare who told her neighbors her husband told her hitler killed women so it gave him a supremacy to do so she told her neighbors in Clare to bring her daughters to her mother in South Africa if she didn’t catch her flight he murdered her days before her flight she spoke out about the ideology of white South Africans is this why Ireland is quite in the issue the mainstream media don’t seem to give a hoot about her
And dont get to judge the people of this great nation with your one side... Poem of false guilt on us... Gwan we have enough of it... Our own homeless our corrupt government and European union project thats failed.
I agree with you but why are people this comment threads intertwined this with racism Imelda May has given her opinion about judging or been to promote anti venom in our society against other people cause of their skin color racism is about skin color and genetics so I agree with her too racism is a disgrace , she’s a fello Dublin city quays woman same as me don’t forget the core genetics in Dublin is from 1000years ago from the Vikings who were Scandinavian built Dublin city and intergrated with local celts too some intergrated in Dublin but still heals their communities and many to this day Dublin genetics is mainly viking and norske roots and many other cultures and intergration to so why judge someone on their skin color? Skin color isn’t anything to do with a homeless crisis as you’ve mentioned corruption in governments and let me add to that county councils been a disgrace

Neither do I it washes out our identity... Sure if anyone can "Claim" to be Irish then what is Irish. It destroys the definition of our ethnicity as Gaelic people, they may hold a nationality status as living here but our identity as a people is way more complex then that and the people who have lived here for centauries who built this country from the soil up would be turning in their graves at the sight of what this place has become.
Actually...they do get to be racist and Irish if they want. That's the price you pay for living in a free society...that's their choice, that's their freedom if they want to be what they are and not answer to anyone. You get to call them out on it and disaccociate from those people if you wish that's your choice but you don't get to tell people what they can and can't be.

As an African, I know it well, FRANCE, USA, BELGIUM, ENGLAND, SPAIN, PORTUGAL ETC, all have been benefiting from stolen African arts and their economies are founded through blood money from the exploitation of Africans.

A beautiful poem. My old teacher would have asked us what was the theme of the poem . I would have said that it was about mass immigration into Ireland, about making the Irish a minority in their own country. It is also about the eradication of Irish culture and traditions. If you ask why this is happening you are called racist because you are not allowed ask. Yes a beautiful poem about the destruction of Ireland.And what about the author our teacher would have asked, we would have said ; at very best naive and gullible, and at the worst anti Irish and a traitor. Our teacher would have said " correct boys". He was a good teacher. He loved Ireland.
How is she trying to destroy Ireland by making it a place not to judge someone by the color of their skin? George Flyod the reason there’s such uproar around the world is because he wasn’t a immigrant he was an American local he had white heritage too on each side of his family through generations , but because his skin color was predominantly black instead of been arrested the same a white man would’ve been arrested put in a car charged and let out he was killed because of the color of his skin, hence why she’s obviously setting her own opinion about why Ireland shouldn’t judge people on their skin color or have vitriol or violence against people’s skin color which in a way is a evil disease . So there isn’t anything wrong with what she’s saying and how is it anything to do about mass migration and destruction if building a society not to be vitriol or violent against people because of their skin color , that’s actually building a society which isn’t destructive but virtual as treating us as we are individual even identical twins are different in ways as a country we have different color skin hair color different sizes so we individual but a society which accepts everyone is different and we all have our own virtues is virtue but not vitriol so in my opinion she’s not been destructive we all are entitled to our opinions but absolutely she’s not being destructive by saying judging someone by their race should be unacceptable
How’s been anti racist been anti Irish it would be the opposite if you were thought by my teachers who gave the hardcore facts , I’m a city quays Girl so we got the hardcore facts Roger Casement was a gay man who was in the Congo and promoted equality , Pearse was bi sexual and predominantly gay him and James Connolly wanted away from misery of being controlled and judged because of someone’s economic status , if they were having sex unmarried, if they were poor or rich and the color of skin was huge Roger casen was in the Congo remember the hard core facts and the did travel the world him Pearse and Connolly did basically die for Ireland against the oppression of the marital laws so why is judging someone’s skin color ok ? George Flyod was stopped breathing cause of his skin color was predominantly black eventhough he had previous generations of white heritage which could’ve also been whites who fought for America so the whites who fought for Ireland would they really want if their children or grandchildren had kids who then generations were killed by a police cause of the color of their skin ?

I don't think being concerned about your country, the number of people entering it, not knowing who they are or anything about them or the effects mass immigration is having on your society is racist. I think it is common sense and wise to have those concerns and ask those questions. We Irish are a wonderful people with a rich culture and traditions.

I find this interesting. I'm not Irish, and that's maybe why I had a completely different take on this poem. The first few passages "You don’t get to be proud of your heritage, plights and fights for freedom while kneeling on the neck of another!" seems to be a direct reference to George Floyd. My take was a commentary about american police of Irish decent. They don't get to be racist because their kin have suffered outrageous racism at the hands of ruthless oppressors. They should be upholding anti-racist sentiment. This includes the kid who was killed in Cork.
American cops of Irish descent are American. Most of them are mixed with some other Europeans, they don’t share our culture and many of them are completely clueless about our history. Sure we have some racists here but most of us “racists” are just concerned with the rapid demographic change taking place before our eyes and our lax immigration laws. Imelda lives in London and she’s up her own arse.
Imelda may not tell me what to think. She's a rockabilly singer. Go back to her own country. We built countries and didn't demand houses, allowances and benefits.
I think you all are looking at this from the wrong way. As an Irish American and an African American this poem speaks volumes. Growing up I’ve heard stories about the struggles and tribulations from both sides of my family and they are not that different from one another. Both slaves, both robbed of their land, both used and abused, both resilient, both strong, and both proud. My interpretation of this poem is that as Irish people and the history you have, you would be more empathetic to people suffering in the same way you have by hands of the same people you have. Your land was taken from you and you managed to get it back. Most countries didn’t. And some people where stolen from their land, raped of their culture and identity and have no idea where their original land is. Imagine not knowing where your ancestors are from? Your native tongue? Cultural practices? She isn’t blaming you for the injustice of America or colonialism of the English. She’s asking you to relate and sympathize, because you have a similar history. That race attack on that boy is wrong! And there is no excuse or justification for it. But the Irish are in a unique position where you can help nations/people fight back the same enemy you did 100 years ago. They want their homeland just as much as you want yours. You don’t carry the sins that the English do. So instead of being full of hate and fear fill yourself with love, compassion, and comradeship. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Think about it.
Martin Cunningham Like all issues related to race, it is a matter of perspective and experiences. To me, an Irish Catholic women who grew up in Philly, this resonates strongly. I know that the Irish she is calling out are the millions of us who self identify as Irish in America. We hold our Irish history, heritage, dance and religion louder stronger and tighter than, as I learned after spending time in Ireland, those that live in Ireland today. But it is the 150 year old Ireland, the one were after the British stole our land and then used a famine to murder and deport us. We had no two choices but to leave on casket ships or die of starvation. Millions left, millions starved. The US begrudgingly gave us refuge (open immigration then). We also know that a major part of the Irish Catholic culture in Philly, NYC, Boston and Chicago is racism. If you need a current example, look at the men taking over the streets of Fishtown this week. We are the Irish she is calling out, Our children are who she is calling to action. And it is beautiful.
@@Jetdeuce2 I live in Philly and am of Irish descent as well. Unfortunately you are correct that there is plenty of racism amongst those of Irish descent here. When the Irish first came to the US (and I appreciate your pointing out that immigration was open when many of our ancestors came which makes the cries of "my ancestors came here the right way" moot) they were considered the lowest member of society along with the slave or formerly enslaved. When they started to get a foothold in trades industries and slowly started to climb up that ladder, they could have brought the formerly enslaved with them but instead, most chose to step on them on their way up. The Irish were able to climb to the top of society within a few generations because they are white. It pains me greatly to think of how different things could have been for African Americans if the Irish could have taken a different path.

My mother and father were irish. They went with passports to other countries. Let people show us the same respect
Your parents were fortunate to come from a country where passports were accessible to them.
The million+ Irish emigrants prior to WW1 would not have had passports as they were not generally needed for international travel at the time.
Highlanders (& Irish) burnt out of their homes wouldn’t have had documents.
People escaping war, threats of violence/torture/death, don’t tend to have the option of heading to their local passport office before escaping, especially if the threat is coming from the state.
You have no concept of the lives & trauma these young people have experienced but, of all western nations, I’d expect the Irish to have a little more empathy.
After the famine years, the majority of Irish emigrants were economic migrants- you’d think you’d be a bit more welcoming to others in that position.
That’s an odd twist you are putting on that.
@@Lorrico14does us a favour with your spouting...most of these people coming to Ireland and the Uk are economic migrants who are throwing their passports in the ocean ..they're not fleeing war as they've left their women and children behind and many return home for holidays...you need to wake up and wise up to what's really going on because while sleepy people like you believe that dross more and more of our own people are having to suffer the consequences , which for some is fatal.

Whose neck are Irish people kneeling on Imelda? I'm Irish, proud of my history and I am against the replacement of the ethnic Irish in their own homeland, call me racist for that if you want, I'm beyond caring.
Love to you from another Irishman who will continue to enjoy his past.
Totally normal to try keep cultural heritage and identity intact, but sadly globalisation is unstoppable and soon that will challenge the ethnicity of all the countries. You are only one individual so you cant do anything about it, and the Irish law supports immigration more than average nations, because immigration is in the Irish blood and history, so maybe Irish people should point to a new national identity once the immigration has overtaken the country, I know that nobody likes to hear that bullshit but thats the reality.
The so called great replacement is a fascist lie. You should remember all of those Irish who fought against fascism in Spain in 1936 to 39. You cannot be selective in liberty.... It must be liberty for all. The oppressor seeks to divide the working class to keep us weak.
The people on the island of Ireland are a mixture of backgrounds from pre Celtic, Celtic, Norse, Norma, English, French, German just mentioning a few from History. We are all, like our newer arrivals, blow ins. Divide and conquer is an imperialist mindset and it will not work. Build bridges NOT walls.
You and I are blow ins and so is everyone else even though my family are here for almost 3000 years.
Who are the Irish kneeling on???? Please tell me because I can't find an instance, a law that's racist, a Garda, a soldier, a doctor, a priest, a teacher, a postman, a milk man that's been racist... What favor do we owe to the 3rd world, we couldn't even get a communion without having to fork over some money to africa. We had to give 10% of what we got.... All I got was a football, which I was so happy with... Yes the Irish emigrated, but went to similar cultures and had to work hard like my grand parents had too, but they came home, didn't have houses/rent paid for, clothes and food allowances, TV license paid for, a TV paid for, car license paid for etc etc etc.... These people who come here, come with there hands out, and demand more.
An example a Bosnian woman approached us in a cafe with a card telling us her story in English, wouldn't leave us alone, we gave her €1 her reply was "its not enough"....... Can you imagine an Irish beggar saying that??? No. Even the junkies begging in Dublin say thanks, cheers or even god bless you..... I'm not a catholic either, but still cannot understand this Jesus on a cross reference, how is that offensive to foreigners, if anything the black people that have come here are more catholic than us now, a nigerian lady I work with goes to church 2 times a day. Should I find that offensive???

It’s not but George Flyod wasn’t a immigrant he was an American killed because of his skin been predominantly black he had white heritage generations before but predominantly black is why he was killed her point is racism isn’t acceptable and she wants Ireland to not be racist , the homeless crisis should be solved for Irish people who are on the streets or crisis accommodation obviously
Rebecca Herrera Warduuu ua-cam.com/video/4_oJWNG6K24/v-deo.html here’s a real poem for u two gombeens.
Hereticking the cop didn’t know his criminal record the cop had 18 reports , there’s a issue in America with vitriol and surpremacy as there is in South Africa from whites and blacks my ex is a white supremacist and he’s been in Ireland so I know how bad surpremacy is . George Flyod is just the boiling point nothing to do about Donald Trump because the whole world protested the fact the cop killed him not just arrested him put him in cuffs in the car he had vitriol without even knowing who was George Flyod wasn’t a migrant , many people make mistakes with drugs can’t judge him about his past either his daughter is still here and a parent lost again . There’s been many people framed in the criminal world who don’t murder but it’s covered as a criminal so it’s not a good idea in society to judge someone because of their past their background, if they used drugs or put people into frames or criteria’s because of their skin or past is more what divides people , excluding dividing because of the color of someone’s skin . I’m certainly not ignorant that’s why I don’t ignore racism when I see or hear about it I don’t just flog it as if evil abuse doesn’t exist the fact is it shouldn’t exist but it has happened that’s why we all want a better place, George Flyod was killed because of his color as he was American citizen but he happens to be predominantly black some white heritage but he was predominantly black and killed because of the color of his skin that’s why people had the boiling point about George Flyod and before George Flyod there was a innocent mother raped and her son stabbed by a jealous neighbor who hired a hot man in Miami but the hitman decided to rape her instead used a knife her son was harmed she was drugged her son called the cops the cops shot his mother then she died in hospital the little boy told what happened after there was huge uproar after it happend in Miami protests all the time but society tried to shove it down low because she and her son were migrants from Latin America the cops stopped protests apparently it was ok to do so cause they were migrants (which it wasn’t) but the protest fizzled on the grounds cops told people Hispanics have a crime level they thought she was trying to kill her son saying it was a mistake they thought she was trying to kill but really they killed her and people protested the obvious it was because she was Hispanic many other cases another was a few cops who targeted polish communities who had a bad past deported some harrased others simply because they weren’t American citizens then George Flyod who wasn’t a migrant was killed he was an American citizen for generations including some white blood but predominantly black. Racism doesn’t divide , marxists no body is saying other cultures are saints either this is about the color someone’s skin when she (Imelda May )talks about racism. Imelda May didn’t mention Donald Trump she talked about how we immigration which we all the time have done and so many in America so she isn’t trying to insult any of the many Irish Americans who are voting for Donald Trump as president she’s talking about racism , everyone’s entitled to opinion perhaps I read her differently but that’s how I read her she is saying racism is unnaceptable and she doesn’t agree with any of her homeland who are racists she which are thankfully a very small minority . You want to realize how color of skin doesn’t influence violence there’s black and and crimes of all colors but surpremacy is similar to a disease and the great news is it’s a disease which can be cured European caucasian countries including Scandinavia ,Ireland ,UK , Netherlands and some other non cacausin and caucasian mix countries such as France have the lowest disrespect and lowest violence against women in the world but yet white South Africans have the highest rate of domestic violence murders in the world and in 2019 1 woman every 3 hours murdered by domestic violence in South Africa was by majority white males the same as the South African husband who murdered a woman in county Clare who told her Irish neighbors if her husband does what he said to her before she gets on her flight home to send her daughters to her mother(her kids granny) in South Africa she told Irish neighbors in Clare her husband had been abusive and said he was telling her his surpremacy allows him to be the same as hitler and kill women this is not airy fairy lies this woman was murdered in cold blood as 1 woman in South Africa every 3 hours in 2019 was by domestic violence a scandal for most countries and media won’t highlight it many of us didn’t know as I didn’t til I had a bad experience by a South African supremacist and many who stil don’t know cause the majority of media outlets are just on the take for every story. There’s not 2 divides here I’m not ignorant anyways and “you all “ but I’m not ignorant and everyone’s individual so there’s not 2 divides in any society there’s not just 2 answers always has many more questions and not as simple as that. It’s also different to slag and have a laugh with friends about different cultures or where they from but if they are but vitriol and violence against that’s racism real racism and what happened to George Flyod was racism
Graham Reardon I’m not a gombeen disgraceful slander god help any black persons the names you would call them are you actually ticked cause Imelda says no to racism and I’m a Irish woman so do you like the white South African supremacists in Ireland which have supremacy ideology to abuse and violate women as seen in 2019 where 1 woman every 3 hours was murdered by domestic violence in South Africa majority by white males ?and the South African woman in Clare who told her neighbors her husband told her hitler killed women so it gave him a supremacy to do so she told her neighbors in Clare to bring her daughters to her mother in South Africa if she didn’t catch her flight he murdered her days before her flight she spoke out about the ideology of white South Africans is this why Ireland is quite in the issue the mainstream media don’t seem to give a hoot about her

You want to help Imelda? Use your voice to help the impoverished Irish in Ireland! Stop jumping on the bandwagon trying to be relevant!
Well said and I loved your response video to what imelda is pushing for her masters
A beautiful poem. My old teacher would have asked us what was the theme of the poem . I would have said that it was about mass immigration into Ireland, about making the Irish a minority in their own country. It is also about the eradication of Irish culture and traditions. If you ask why this is happening you are called racist because you are not allowed ask. Yes a beautiful poem about the destruction of Ireland.And what about the author our teacher would have asked, we would have said ; at very best naive and gullible, and at the worst anti Irish and a traitor. Our teacher would have said " correct boys". He was a good teacher. He loved Ireland.
How is she trying to destroy Ireland by making it a place not to judge someone by the color of their skin? George Flyod the reason there’s such uproar around the world is because he wasn’t a immigrant he was an American local he had white heritage too on each side of his family through generations , but because his skin color was predominantly black instead of been arrested the same a white man would’ve been arrested put in a car charged and let out he was killed because of the color of his skin, hence why she’s obviously setting her own opinion about why Ireland shouldn’t judge people on their skin color or have vitriol or violence against people’s skin color which in a way is a evil disease . So there isn’t anything wrong with what she’s saying and how is it anything to do about mass migration and destruction if building a society not to be vitriol or violent against people because of their skin color , that’s actually building a society which isn’t destructive but virtual as treating us as we are individual even identical twins are different in ways as a country we have different color skin hair color different sizes so we individual but a society which accepts everyone is different and we all have our own virtues is virtue but not vitriol so in my opinion she’s not been destructive we all are entitled to our opinions but absolutely she’s not being destructive by saying judging someone by their race should be unacceptable
How’s been anti racist been anti Irish it would be the opposite if you were thought by my teachers who gave the hardcore facts , I’m a city quays Girl so we got the hardcore facts Roger Casement was a gay man who was in the Congo and promoted equality , Pearse was bi sexual and predominantly gay him and James Connolly wanted away from misery of being controlled and judged because of someone’s economic status , if they were having sex unmarried, if they were poor or rich and the color of skin was huge Roger casen was in the Congo remember the hard core facts and the did travel the world him Pearse and Connolly did basically die for Ireland against the oppression of the marital laws so why is judging someone’s skin color ok ? George Flyod was stopped breathing cause of his skin color was predominantly black eventhough he had previous generations of white heritage which could’ve also been whites who fought for America so the whites who fought for Ireland would they really want if their children or grandchildren had kids who then generations were killed by a police cause of the color of their skin ?

I'm Irish and proud to be, always have been. I think my understanding of racism is different to hers. I don't think being concerned about your country, the number of people entering it, not knowing who they are or anything about them or the effects mass immigration is having on your society is racist. I think it is common sense and wise to have those concerns and ask those questions. We Irish are a wonderful people with a rich culture and traditions. Looks like there is an agenda to destroy not only the Irish soul, which this woman has no understanding of, but also rid the world of the last remnants of the Celtic world, of which we the Irish are a handful of guardians of.

all countries are consumers to the west ( the producer ) and that is why the west is always rich because they refuse other countries to produce their own products or their own weapons because with that money comes then influence comes and they refuse that and that's why they attack and sanction too. unfortunately , we are the playground of superpowers. the western Anglo saxon even without Islam rising is digging their own grave since they barely have any children. with Islam they will be annihilated by our raising alone and they will fall easily. if they use nukes , then they will have to live like rats in grounds for the rest of their existence ( that if earth survived ). they will not use it because they stand for nothing therefore, they will not go to that ever.

plights and fights for freedom
while kneeling on the neck of another!" seems to be a direct reference to George Floyd. My take was a commentary about american police of Irish decent. They don't get to be racist because their kin have suffered outrageous racism at the hands of ruthless oppressors. They should be upholding anti-racist sentiment. This includes the kid who was killed in Cork.
American cops of Irish descent are American. Most of them are mixed with some other Europeans, they don’t share our culture and many of them are completely clueless about our history.

I think you all are looking at this from the wrong way. As an Irish American and an African American this poem speaks volumes. Growing up I’ve heard stories about the struggles and tribulations from both sides of my family and they are not that different from one another. Both slaves, both robbed of their land, both used and abused, both resilient, both strong, and both proud. My interpretation of this poem is that as Irish people and the history you have, you would be more empathetic to people suffering in the same way you have by hands of the same people you have. Your land was taken from you and you managed to get it back. Most countries didn’t. And some people where stolen from their land, raped of their culture and identity and have no idea where their original land is. Imagine not knowing where your ancestors are from? Your native tongue? Cultural practices? She isn’t blaming you for the injustice of America or colonialism of the English. She’s asking you to relate and sympathize, because you have a similar history.
That race attack on that boy is wrong! And there is no excuse or justification for it. But the Irish are in a unique position where you can help nations/people fight back the same enemy you did 100 years ago. They want their homeland just as much as you want yours. You don’t carry the sins that the English do. So instead of being full of hate and fear fill yourself with love, compassion, and comradeship.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Think about it.
The latent racism in this is startling - as is the oblivious to it. You don’t get to decide who is Irish.
I think you kinda missed the point 😂
Well I think you kinda have! To respond to racism with racism of a different kind (as the content of this video does) just reinforces
the problem.
Martin Cunningham Like all issues related to race, it is a matter of perspective and experiences. To me, an Irish Catholic women who grew up in Philly, this resonates strongly. I know that the Irish she is calling out are the millions of us who self identify as Irish in America. We hold our Irish history, heritage, dance and religion louder stronger and tighter than, as I learned after spending time in Ireland, those that live in Ireland today. But it is the 150 year old Ireland, the one were after the British stole our land and then used a famine to murder and deport us. We had no two choices but to leave on casket ships or die of starvation. Millions left, millions starved. The US begrudgingly gave us refuge (open immigration then). We also know that a major part of the Irish Catholic culture in Philly, NYC, Boston and Chicago is racism. If you need a current example, look at the men taking over the streets of Fishtown this week. We are the Irish she is calling out, Our children are who she is calling to action. And it is beautiful.
@@martincunningham5815 Irish isn't a race hence not racism against Irish
@@Jetdeuce2 I live in Philly and am of Irish descent as well. Unfortunately you are correct that there is plenty of racism amongst those of Irish descent here. When the Irish first came to the US (and I appreciate your pointing out that immigration was open when many of our ancestors came which makes the cries of "my ancestors came here the right way" moot) they were considered the lowest member of society along with the slave or formerly enslaved. When they started to get a foothold in trades industries and slowly started to climb up that ladder, they could have brought the formerly enslaved with them but instead, most chose to step on them on their way up. The Irish were able to climb to the top of society within a few generations because they are white. It pains me greatly to think of how different things could have been for African Americans if the Irish could have taken a different path.
