The White Supermacists would be a good nickname for the far right Galway lads on tfk :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Agree on the abortion bit- was definitely editorial interference there as it had no relevance at all.

The Irish ‘built’ America.

Why do the rich NFL black players commit more crime than all the other races put together in off season . ? I’m looking at your 3 options but I cant find a legitimate reason . It’s in the breeding.

They were born rich were they?

No they just want to ‘BANG’ in off season , blow off a bit of steam, they could have 50m in the bank , most of them would have a decent structure from football in their teens and college. Why did michael jordan attack his white team mate . It’s a switch.

So, you’re saying black people by default, are more prone to breaking the law? Didn’t punch magazine do something similar about the Micks a while back?

Fucking cringe shit. It’s like a trendy fashion statement at this stage.

This is more hilarious though. Someone commented on Jedward’s post…

Jedward would be a great African American first name. Emphasis on the second syllable

I’d prefer if they’d focus on teaching Ireland’s history first and foremost.

I don’t disagree that kids should learn a bit more about the history of different cultures in school. When I was in primary, it was 100% white Irish kids, so I can’t comment on what a classroom is like now. Where do you fit in Polish history, African history, Asian history, Australian history etc, at the expense of Irish history…?
They should start with bits of the book: King Leopold’s Ghost. It wasn’t only the big bad Americans or big bad British who were bad to Africans…
There was an interesting part in the book, about some educated black American guy who went back to Africa with the objective of surveying land where black Americans could go to and basically set up their own country. Essentially going “home”…

In the NFL yes . The figures are there the names of the offenders are there .

I was thinking more about the hodgepodge effort they called “Irish history” when I was in school, and having the educators address the mass-marketed historical myths they teach kids. History is a rewarding and engaging subject, but only when the documentary record isn’t suppressed. @Thomas_Brady might be more qualified to comment. He previously referenced an interesting text by David P. Nally; “Human Encumbrances: Political Violence and the Great Irish Famine.”

“The Almighty, indeed, sent the potato blight, but the English created the famine.”

Think that might be what the country Liberia was?

Reading this thread this morning, I can’t help thinking that America deserves to burn. Men who will say absolutely anything or make any mental contortions to avoid saying that the USA has a racism problem that affects the police and is worse than most other countries.

I’d say that these protests have ruined their lives but to be honest this behaviour is just pretty typical of them for a long time now. They will get the country they deserve.
