Black Africans suffer highest levels of work discrimination in Ireland

Jacers: At least you're lucky you're not trying to articulate your opinions in Ireland. Over there there is total denial of free speech on Mass Immigration. Just a few days ago I was listening online to some fool called George Hook on the rightwing station Newstalk doing a reverential interview with the head of the Chuck Feeney-funded Immigrant pressure group that promotes unlimited immigration into Ireland. He was like one of our Southern boys being chastized by a strict aunt--"Yes, m'am, Why certainly m'am, you got that right m'am, that's real perceptive of you ma'am etc etc." The quite pernicious even racist views of this woman (racist because objectively she wants to wipe out Irish nationality thru continued and unlimited Mass Immigration)went unchallenged. Needless to say no equal opportunity was given to any opponent of the racist agenda of the Immignazis in Ireland.

This jacers notes that his two posts made prior to Wounded Knees's post Jan 18th, 06.23pm, have been deleted from the discussion. Who is in charge of denial of Free Speech in ICentral quarters please?

Hmmm interesting, when were african slaves sold in Ireland, that is the excuse for black unemployment in the States. Look not at the color of a mans skin, look at the government program that has made him a ward of the state, a member of the dependent class.

To be humanitarian, immigrants facing discrimination in Ireland should be deported to their homelands where they won't encounter cultural abrasion, with the bill for transport sent to Mary Robinson.

Well said, Wou'knee.

Unlike the nonsense of the above article, I saw a genuine case of racist discrimination today. I was in my local K-Mart, when I came upon a rack of T-shirts bearing the caption "10% Irish, 90% Drunk". I asked to see the Manager, and I made a complaint to her, condemning the disgusting racism embodied in the shirt. She promised she would send my complaint up the line to her supervisors, and agreed that the caption was offensive and inexcusable. Her behavior was quite appropriate for the situation. But here's the interesting thing. A couple of years ago I was in one of the Pennys stores in downtown Dublin some weeks before 3/17. I saw an equally offensive T-shirt (worse, since it showed Irish people drunk and vomiting). On that occasion, I asked to see a manager, and when she appeared I made my complaint. But what a difference in the reaction! The Irish manager looked at me as if I was a trouble maker, uttered stupidities such as "Shur an it's only a joke" and assured me that the racist anti-Irish items were great sellers. There was no apology, in fact no concept of insult. You see, the Irish have very low self-esteem. They think they are stupid drunks, so they see nothing wrong with selling garments that portray them as such. I no longer go to Ireland around St Patrick's Day, because I find it nauseating to see the Irish brandishing their stupid leprechaun hats and T-shirts bearing garbage such as "Irish Today, Hungover Tomorrow" and worse. I call on Irish Central to forget about feigned discrimination against endemic complainers in Dublin, and instead establish a list where people can report anti-Irish filth such as I describe above, be it appearing here, in Ireland or elsewhere.

IrelandNorth. We`re coming closer together, calling Adams and his party insane isn`t the word I would use. But it`ll do for now.

"it is understandable that Irish employers prefer to give jobs to Irish natives". You're way out of touch, seanmor. That doesn't happen.

Does the ESRI know what the unemployment level amongst white Celto-Gael Catholics in Africa is? 20% immigration into a state with 15% unemployment is 35% insanity. They're more than welcome when the discrepancy is balanced, though only after returned exiles.

Racism has been a feature of Irish life for a very long time. Many eastern european immigrants were treated terribly when the Irish thought they were awash with cash. I ecall listening to a radio show during a vist a few years ago and a lady called in complaining that her son, an electrician, who had emigrated to Poland was being paid less than a Polish person doing the same job. I thought to myself, what comes around, goes around, as this is exactly what Irish people were doing to the poles and others. I have an acquantance who runs a business and during the same period of 'Bertie's fairytale', a holiday occurred on a tuesday. Irish people scrambled to make it an extended weekend seeking monday off work. I don't recall how it came up in our conversation, but his attitude was 'ah let the Polish fellas work monday'.

It's crazy for Ireland to be taking in immigrants while exporting native Irish people. If it's any consolation Irish emigrants experience discrimination in hiring and housing in other countries.

Now that the Irish state is in the midst of a very severe economic recession and few opportuinities are available for those entering the job market, it is understandable that Irish employers prefer to give jobs to Irish natives, who are thoroughly familiar with local customes and culture. In the Ireland in which I was raised, the African Missions were always given a very high priority.As children we were always collecting - even begging - for pennies and shilliongs for Africas, who usually came before our own needyy.The Irish nation (including the part that is still controlled by G.B.) has given at least 10 times more than its share to the African people.
