Banter or Racism

Locke · September 2, 2019, 8:39pm

I was called a Kilkenny bollix for 4 years, back when Cork were a force in senior hurling. Was that banter or racism?

Bandage · September 2, 2019, 8:39pm

Neither, I would have thought.

Ashman · September 2, 2019, 8:41pm

You have a fair long term memory

Of course he does, he’s a Kilkenny bollix.

Imagine what they think of you now, eight (8) All Irelands later.

Nope. Just utter spiteful derision, contempt and raw hatred.

Is Noel Grealish dog whistling here calling African refugees ‘spongers’?

Sidney · September 12, 2019, 9:34pm

If you’ve ever met some of Noel Grealish’s supporters you wouldn’t be a bit surprised at this

Lazarus · September 12, 2019, 9:38pm

Surprised no. Disappointed yes

Massey · September 12, 2019, 9:42pm

It’s not dog whistling when you just come out and say it

Lazarus · September 12, 2019, 9:45pm

What he’s really saying is Ireland for the Irish. Foreigners out. The subtext couldn’t be more obvious. It’s dog whistling and racist and designed to get a few handy votes

Sidney · September 12, 2019, 9:46pm

Careful now, there’ll be lads here lining up to call you a communist for saying that

Lazarus · September 12, 2019, 9:50pm

Their hate crimes won’t silence me mate

Sidney · September 12, 2019, 9:56pm

It’s sort of ironic that any right wing ideologue would be against the owner of any hotel accommodating whoever they want in that hotel

Lazarus · September 12, 2019, 10:00pm

They preach free markets but their inherint racism and hatred usually catches them out in the end

JonSnow · September 13, 2019, 6:15am

They? Racist

Tassotti · September 16, 2019, 9:21am

myboyblue · September 16, 2019, 9:22am

I’m gonna say racism on that.

TheBird · September 16, 2019, 9:22am

I concur

PhattPike · September 16, 2019, 9:29am

Fairly cut and dried that one.
