Irish people did experience alot of adversity...but at the end of the day...your still white.And no, white people these days didnt enslave my people, but they did greatly profit, GREATLY, and with my people they shared none of the fruits, whatsoever, and that is wrong.
i'm an Irish man, living in ireland, having grown up there, and lived in various parts of the country, so yes, i'm pretty Irish...
Irish history books are filled with accounts of how our ancestors were enslaved and persecuted, especially when it comes to being under British rule for many years, in which simple things such as language and sports were made illegal (and as a result, the Irish language is pretty dead by all accounts, even i can only speak a few sentences).
now, without taking that into account, not so long ago i was dating and was engaged to a Vietnamese lady, whom i loved very, very much... in any society there are always racists, but knowing that she had to go through that and knowing i could do nothing about it was hell... my own countrymen treating a woman i care deeply about like a second class citizen... terms like 'ni**er lover' aren't very pleasant either... i got the same treatment as her, and alot of the time i got treated worse than she did... but did I care? not in the slightest.
i've even been branded a racist simply because i stood up for myself and the other guy happened to be black...
i've already explained what my schooling was like, so i wish people would stop assuming that being white is automatically some sort of f*cking meal ticket, because it isn't... me personally, despite the fact i have foreign friends and have been welcomed by their homes, i still feel this urge to pick and choose every single thing i have to say and do, because the slightest thing and the word 'racist' gets thrown around...
oh, and the 'paddy' thing... just a tad racist... we have idividual names, yet some people just don't get that...
sorry if i ranted... 😮

Is that why he says that black people can't be racist? Because now he has the ultimate defense about being accused of his own racial prejudices?
No wonder he fully believes that black people can't be racist. He doesn't want to deal with his own internal insecurities and would rather attack other people for theirs.

Haha, I had a feeling Cresh would be back soon... 🙂 I wonder how long until we argue. 😆
Anyway this whole debate really looks like one of those matter of perspective arguments. *shrugs*

You've pretty much got it right, I imagine.
And Kam and I are pretty good friend on here.

Irish people weren't considered "White" for a long time. I still don't see them as white people.
Just angry, angry....angry people.

I wouldn't either, make that generalisation that is. Most of the people I know are really cool. But then again what do I know, I've lived a very sheltered and privileged life. I'm spoilt rotten and therefore my opinion shouldn't count. Shallow is practically my middle name. Monet St. f*cking Croix. ermm

I was laughing so hard at that and was about to call you out on bullshit then got thinking and decided to shutup 😮,
