Irish people think they are black people.
Fact # 1 Irish people are not the black people of Europe, black people are.
Fact # 2 The Irish did not build America and the British empire. They were built on slavery of Africans.
Fact # 3 Irish people do not have”soul” like Black people.
Fact # 4 Black people have dark skin that has adapted to sunnier climates. Irish people are a white fair skined race that easily burns when exposed to long term sunshine. Being burnt is not the same as being black.
Fact # 5 Irish people feel guilty and sympathy towards African Black people that is why for decades they have contributed to the “black babies”, sent missionaries to convert them and recently Bono to annoy them. Irish people suffering famine does not make them black people.

oh get over it already!!!! i’ve never once in my life complained about the unfortunate situations of my irish ancestors but it seems like every day i hear oprah, jesse jackson or tyra whining and bitching about being black.. who cares!?!?!? i’m sick of it. so you’re black. awesome. i can see that. it’s evident. you are not a slave, your parents were not slaves and neither were your grandparents. so GET OVER IT ALREADY. i’m also cherokee and i’ve never gone on and on about how our land was stolen by the european settlers. it gets old really fast.

Do you have any idea of Irish History:
Yes we are not black. 1 million people died for lack of food in my country. We had 700 years of a imperial power in our country. Where at times during that time we were second class people in our own country. And have you ever heard the saying “no blacks, no dogs, no irish”
But you know what with all the above we can still take the piss out of our silly & backward ways can you?
