Iām not ashamed of it and neither am I proud of it. I have zero feelings about the matter really. My skin colour is my skin colour and thatās what it is.
The point is I donāt ever have to think about my skin colour in Ireland because my skin colour is the same as the vast majority of people in the country.
If my skin colour was a minority one in this country, then Iād imagine Iād be much more conscious of it. If I suddenly unexpectedly landed in say, downtown Monrovia or somewhere, Iād probably immediately become conscious that I have a different skin colour to everybody else.

Next weāll have to be conscious that our sign posts are not in Arabic or Nigerianā¦ I mean, if i landed in down town Lagos tomorrow Iād be very conscious that none of the sign posts are in Irish. It would almost be like i was in a foreign country.

Limerick musician Denise Chaila has urged that racist comments online should not be ignored.
The Zambian born talent, who appeared on last nightās Late Late Show, opened up about the online abuse she received after performing at the National Gallery of Ireland, saying that it was polarised.
āThe reaction was very polarised. There were a lot of people who loved and embraced what I was doing, and there were a lot of people who saw it as a direct challenge to their Irishness.
āWe need to do better,ā she said.
āMy gut reaction was that I did not become a musician and sacrifice all of the things that I worked and sacrificed in order to stand here and read death threats to my parents,ā she said.
āI felt like it was actually a moment for me to realise that I needed to be more responsible about how I navigated my blackness in this country.ā
She revealed that she did not leave her house for a month following the performance.
āI spent like a month at home, I didnāt want to leave.
āI think we dismiss the power of those comments too quickly.ā
Ms Chaila said that negative comments online should not be ignored and that people should make more of an effort to call out abuse.
āThereās a tendency for people to dismiss the power of the far right in this country
āA nasty comment online is barely the tip of the iceberg.ā
She said that racism continues when racist comments online are ignored.
āI never want to see another friend of mine leave their groceries at Tesco because theyāre getting racist abuse from people in the queue. This is the dark side of what we chose to do when we chose to diminish what happens on the internet and what happens online.
āWe make ourselves by our complacency guilty of enabling things,ā she added.
Did ya?? That seems outrageously far. And whatever about school. Walking for Sunday dinner.
It has me checking my privilege big time
What is white privilege we have to check? Is it just that black people have suffered racism?
You need to start giving all your shit away, especially your money. I can help you with that if you want.
It isnāt normal to play hurling in Dublin either but itās tolerated.
Youre only acting the cunt now.
Where did I say that only black people have suffered racism? Itās very poor debating technique to try to argue against a straw man.
I suppose one example of checking your white privilege would be to actually listen to non-white people
when they speak on a subject such as racism, rather than dismissing what they say as āa load of nonsenseā. I mean anybody who does that is straight up immediately proving the point that white privilege exists, and thus dismissing themselves as being a load of nonsense.
The only non-white people some lads here ever want to listen to are the tiny minority who tell them what they want to hear.
āMind virusā is actually a very good way top describe what these lads have. Fear of difference, fear of being challenged, fear of losing their entitlement to be a cunt unchallenged.
I never said you said that and Iām genuinely not debating you. I think the vast majority of people havenāt a clue what ācheck your white privilegeā actually means. The vast majority of Irish people are also certainly not racist and have no problem admitting that black people suffer plenty of racism. The check your white privilege thing sounds very confrontational and definitely gets peoples back up though. Its very easy to lampoon by fellas saying they used to eat yellow pack cornflakes

It sounds needlessly divisive on the part of white people to simply dismiss non-white peopleās experiences of racism.
Funnily enough these same white people tend to be the same sort of people who dismiss womenās experiences of being harrassed or abused (unless the alleged victim is accusing a US Democratic politician) or there being a culture among men of such, or dismiss the fact that inter-sex violence is overwhelmingly male on female.
Unless theyāre talking about immigrants, in which they suddenly pretend to be concerned about women, because they also tend to be the sort of people who like to pretend that immigration is associated with crime.
Anybody āwhose back is got up by those annoying anti-racistsā or āwoke mobā or Greens or whoever already had prejudices just waiting to come to the surface.
They like their non-white people to be good little doormats, in other words ādignifiedā. As soon as they speak up, the white prejudice comes to the surface.
