  Personally I find most Afican women very ugly and their accents revolting. I don't see how we owe them anything here in Ireland, the Brits colonised them not us. Now there's thousands of young Africans around our streets on the Dole and thousands more flooding in - mostly from England for the extra money from Irish welfare. The Irish people never agreed with all this or wanted them here, and we were never asked either, though it's all our taxes are being paid out to them. You can call me a racist or whatever you like, I couldn't give a shyte, I've had enough of my country being handed away out from under me by the Liberal Elite like Mary Robinson, Fianna Fail and Higgins in the Park. I am voting for no party politician ever again. And I'm not paying property tax to pay for all these Negros and Asians either.

  I have seen many nigerian women who give birth to easily 4 children just for the sake of government’s welfare. All irish citizens & other immigrants(Asians, other Europeans) limited to 1 or 2 children. Do nigerians want native irish people to become minority? For god’s sake, these irish nigerians are educated, but they still bear too many children. Nothing wrong in having grudge against these nigerians

  Not another bigot go join the rest of your neo fascist pals asleep32 etc. etc. What is your shirt colour preference,white robes with a pointy dunce cap

  Do you see whites invading China, Japan and or Africa? Do we have handouts and special loans for whites? All white countries are being invaded and until whites stand up and voice thier concern; which may include violence as the current scheme isn't working. Next up will be the rape gangs that the UK and USA already have! Black Pride, Brown Pride is ok but White Pride is racist?! If you assume that all races are equal then prove it! Thier will never be a utopia of dieversity as it has never existed in the history of man! Does Israel allow illegal immigration? A nationalist puts his country first, one can be a Black nationalist in his own country. Wherever you have africans you have africa ditto for Pakistanis and every other squat monsters that are a drain on all white countries.

  awoken32 As I read your last post(ing) I had visions of you and your coterie of likeminded dimwits marching through O'Connell Street singing "Der Fahne Hoch" (Excuse the german spelling).What colour uniforms would you like blackshirts? brownshirts? or the good old Irish blueshirts.

  Black is Black. White is White. Life is always A racial fight. �Don�t date her.� �Don�t Marry Him.� �He doesn�t match The color of your skin.� Why does it matter? Why do we care? Would you see a difference If the skin wasn�t there? They may use a language We do not speak They may have beliefs We find unique. But deep down inside Beneath that thin shell, You may just find someone You know very well. Friends come in all sizes, colors, and shapes, And you might miss a lot If you see only a face. Each culture has something Unique we can learn To make our lives better, Our souls much more pure. So cast off your prejudice Replace hate with love And look on each person As does your Father above.

• Irishblack | Dec 01, 2011, 04:14 AM EST

  GeorgeDillon, not surprised that you had no defense on how badly governance in Ireland is. The thing you guys don't understand is uneducated Irish people will leave. Educated Irish people will stay. Educated immigrants are needed to fill posts. That is no mass immigration. Your views seem to depict a situation where immigrants are flying in droves. I really pity you guys. All ye' can do it talk, and sooner or later, another fat civil servant gets a big pension while you languish on the dole in your worn out addidas sweatpants. It's only in Ireland where priests who sodomize boys walk free and are more appreciated than immigrants. Pathetic.

• TODufaigh | Dec 01, 2011, 03:18 AM EST

  don't stop posting Awoken32 - you're the best proof yet of how utterly thick you hate-filled racists really are, with all of your poisonous venom and illiterate rants. Reasonable people don't have to make a case against you and Georgie Boy - you make it against yourselves. If you lived next door you'd be the neighbour from hell - but of course you are skulking somewhere out in Irish-America (although I'm sure many Irish Americans would not agree with your fascist beliefs at all). You have no arguments; anyone who has to post in capital letters doesn't have a functioning brain.

• GeorgeDillon | Dec 01, 2011, 02:53 AM EST

  Awoken32, I think you're wasting your time with "Irishblack", because he's no more from Africa than I am from Lapland. He's clearly a dummy created by one of the Mass Immigrationist dummies here, Duffy in all probability, though I have other suspects.

• Irishblack | Dec 01, 2011, 01:49 AM EST

  Awoken32, all I can say to you is, I'm black, from Africa, I live in Ireland and there is nothing your sorry ignorant self can do or will ever do about it. You can run around the ring of Kerry or jump off the cliffs of Moher, I'll still be here. Those asking what I'm doing in Ireland, I work in finance and IT. Decent Irish businesses look for skilled people to come and work in Ireland and they don't look at the skin color. They look for people who can take their businesses to the next level. So it is a failure on the Irish government to not see some of these gap and encourage locals to educate themselves and get these jobs. Where I work there over 30 different nationalities so to target mass immigration without understanding it's is thinking like a 5 year old. awoken32, I challenge you to get me the correct figure of the number of Africans in Ireland. Go to the Central Statistics Office website because I have a feeling your uneducated, self-loathing, pea-brain has no idea where to look. Ok mate? HAHA

• awoken32 | Nov 30, 2011, 10:49 PM EST

  THE MAJORITY OF IRISH PEOLE DO NOT WANT MASS IMMIGRATION THIS COULD BE EASILY PROVED IN A VOTE ON THE MATTER,AND THESE ARE JUST FACTS,THERE IS NOTHING HERE IN IRELAND FOR YOUSE,THE IRISH CANY EVEN FIND WORK FOR THEMSELVES,BLACK IN IRELAND YOUR FIRST COMMENT ON THIS SITE WAS TO SAY HOW YOU REALLY THINK OF IRELAND,ITS PEOPLE AN CULTURE,THEN YOU GET TWO ANTI-WHITE FOOLS WHO TRY MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD,SO YOU START POSTING IN A NICER WAY,MASS IMMIGRATION IS ILLLEGAL,WE HAVE A SMALL POPULATION IN IRELAND,YOUR FIGURES ARE 100% INCORRECT ABOUT 40000 AS THE NUMBER IS MUTIPLYING BY THE DAY,THE WHOLE OF EUROPE IS SICK OF THESE MASS INVASIONS,EVRY COUNTRY IS GETTING RUINED BY IT,NATIONALIST PARTIES ARE RISING UP AND AN END WILL BE PUT TO IT,MARK MY WORDS,THE ONLY THING THATS KEEPING IT GOING HAS BEEN THE THE SUPPRESSION OF THE MEDIA AN POLITICAL CORRECTNESS/WRONGNESS,ALL THESE THINGS ARE GOIN OUT THE WINDOW,THE INDIGINUS PEOPLE OF EUROPE ARE SICK OF IT,IT WONT TAKE LONG IN IRELAND,A NATIONALIST PARTY WOULD GROW LIKE PUTTING PETROL ON A FIRE,THE PEOPLE ARE SICK OF IT,WHY DO YOU THINK IRELAND NEEDS MASS IMMIGRATION???????? WE DONT,WE NEED THE OPPOSITE

• sirpeter | Nov 30, 2011, 10:29 PM EST

  Seano.If it's any consolation I liked you great poet quote.These arguments about Black immigrants doesn't half bring out the fuc*wits.They can't see the people behind the colour.The thing is these Irish Americans are pure racist.But what is scary is they are pure ignorant.It's like they have suffered racism themselves in a big way.

• moygannon | Nov 30, 2011, 07:37 PM EST

  It does'nt take some people long to capitalize on "Racism". The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Why are in Ireland in the first place?

• Irishblack | Nov 30, 2011, 07:36 PM EST

  GeorgeDillon, I understand your view about grieving parents seeing their kids leave for Oz and Canada and US. Seriously, I'm with you on that one. Now, can you try and think of the root cause of these masses leaving? Perhaps bad governance? Perhaps no drive to create jobs, perhaps too much borrowing? Perhaps building 80,000 houses more a year than was needed, perhaps reckless lending, perhaps six-figure pensions, perhaps Ireland voting yes for EU referendums..dude I could go on forever how many mistakes Fine Fail and Gael have made. The winners in Ireland are the thieves who have mansions in the Hamptons in US and moved all put all their assets in their spouses and kids names. When asylum seekers get to Dublin airport, each has their own story of suffering and yes..I agree, not all are genuine but majority are. Targetting 1% of black immigrants is in my own humble opinion silly. In english it's called escapism. You fail to focus on real issues and aim at the easiest target. I forgot to mention the ridiculous salaries at RTE. Dude, you must really hate black people and love those people earning 500K for a few hours work when normal Irish people have no jobs.

• Irishblack | Nov 30, 2011, 07:19 PM EST

  TODufaigh, thanks for telling these people the truth. That's all I was trying to do in the first place. I came to Ireland as a legally working immigrant and have done so without ever going on the dole for more than 7 years and I still maintain my job to this day. I have nothing against asylum seekers as they all have their reasons, and if you check the statistics, asylum seekers comprise of both black and white folk from all over the world. What I have a problem with is black people being targeted because of skin color. I guess it is easy to pick us out coz of our color. That is the only freakin' reason. awoken32, why haven't you picked on travelers from Bulgaria who are in Dublin? I understand that you loathe black people, but you really have a small-minded person's argument. When you try and attack 1% of black immigrants who don't get massive 6 figure pensions like Bertie and Co...it shows your ignorance of what really matters..but hey, you are probably a skanger with little education, a messed up upbringing and on the dole, so I'll keep in mind the saying "don't argue with a fool. I have so many decent Irish friends and workmates, you are really the least of my worries. RockNreel, knowing that I have a hurley, don't come at me with a kids hurley.

• RockNReel | Nov 30, 2011, 07:19 PM EST

  Its strange that its only the Nigerians who are complaining about racism in Ireland dont you think?? For example we have thousands of hard working respectable polish here who respect our traditions and contribute to the country---as any of us would be expected to do if we immigrated to another country. There are Chinese, Indians, Americans, Spanish etc etc living here as well with no problems to speak of. I have several black friends who are English of Jamaican extraction and as far as i know they dont have problems in this country. But , the difference is that the Nigerians have been caught out so many times running scams here as well as false asylum claims and they are now being seen as scroungers who use and abuse the system. There has been a lot of bad press about them here especially the Pamela Izevbekhai case that cost the Irish taxpayer over a million to deport her when it was found she lied all the way about her claim for asylum. They immediately use the race card when things are not going their way.

• TODufaigh | Nov 30, 2011, 05:58 PM EST

  awoken32: could you at least use a spellchecker? You can't help being a rabid, stupid racist, but you could be a rabid, stupid racist in proper English. Then again, maybe not: I wouldn't like to tax your dim brain, overstocked with white supremacist nonsense. Go and hang out with Georgie boy instead - his English is quite literate although the thoughts expressed are infantile

• seanomelbourne | Nov 30, 2011, 05:48 PM EST

  Trying to justify bigotry is akin to sucking lemons. A clown is a noble profession he makes fun of everyone no bigotry there. TODufaigh maith an fear leat. I wonder why we argue with these brainless twits one finds one self talking to lowlifes.They will not desist in their hate speech. As the great poet said I'm like a flower born to blush unseen wasting my sweetness on the dessert air(Gray)

• awoken32 | Nov 30, 2011, 04:50 PM EST

  yeh TODfaigh i cant wait to see the new gaa stars ye muppet,mass depeortations will happen or a civil war will kick of in this country,your a clown

• TODufaigh | Nov 30, 2011, 04:32 PM EST

  Georgie Boy, awoken32 and other racists out there: let's get a little perspective. The African population in Ireland is about 1%, migrants as a whole about 10%, and that was in the good days a few years ago. In other words, the other 90% are Irish. Hardly a case of ethnosuicide, don't you think? And these immigrants have added immensely to Irish life as well as becoming part of it themselves - there is a rising generation of Nigerian, Polish and other GAA stars (not but that a few local racists have treated them badly in some cases). Let's just get on with the business of living here: you gobshites don't, and wouldn't be welcome if you did

• GeorgeDillon | Nov 30, 2011, 02:59 PM EST

  "I guess the saying that Ireland is the a-hole of Britian is true." No Irish person ever said that. So is that what the African settlers in Ireland are saying behind the Irish people's backs? What ungrateful jerks, after everything Ireland has given them. Just a reminder. For every plane that arrives in Ireland another one leaves. Why not get on one of them? One way, please.

• GeorgeDillon | Nov 30, 2011, 02:55 PM EST

  Todufaigh keeps churning out the racist lies, doesn't he. Well, actually he's partially right when he says "Immigrants are welcome here just as the Irish are welcome elsewhere". Irish people have over the generations welcomed many immigrants to their country. We had Germans in Limerick, Lithuanian Jews in Dublin, Vietnamese boat people, Italians from villages near Naples etc. These all contributed to Ireland. ODufaigh is probably ignorant of Ireland's tradition of hospitality in this regard--a lot of the Mass Immigrationists think that Irish history began c.2000. But ODufaigh is trying to run a big racist lie by us if he is suggesting that the majority of Irish people support the current unlimited influx of foreign migrants, where we see the Arrivals area at Dublin Airport full of foreigners moving in even while the Departures area is full of grieving Irish parents bidding farewell to sons and daughters who are abandoning their ancient homeland. All polls show that a majority of Irish people oppose this madness. Only lousy crazies and fascists like ODufaigh could support it. ODufaigh is a racist, since he wants to replace the indigenous inhabitants of Ireland with a pot pourri of Poles, Afghans, Russians, Chinese, Angolans, Australians, Nigerians, Romanians, Latvians etc. That is the kind of thing the Nazis tried 70 years ago. Why do you hate Irish nationality, you bigoted jerk? The Irish people have a right to a national homeland, just like the Palestinians, the Kurds etc. Anyone who promotes the ethnosuicide of the Irish people is racist vermin. I supect ODufaigh may be a relative of the founder of Irish fascism, O'Duffy. Am I right, you racist goon?

• awoken32 | Nov 30, 2011, 01:25 PM EST

  TODufaigh represents the 1%,we all saw what the irish thought about immigration in the only vote we have got on citizenship to date,it was a landslide victory,an that is a fact black in ireland thinks my argument about the indiginus people being swamped illegaly through mass invasion as a weak argument then goes on to abuse the indiginus irish says it all,when they all get deported you go with them TODufaigh an bring bono with youse aswell,hiding behind my computer,you dont have a clue about me ye nerd

• TODufaigh | Nov 30, 2011, 12:48 PM EST

  This repulsive, racist abuse is beyond the bounds. Let me assure irishblack that such hatespeech, which exists everywhere, is practised only by a disgusting minority. Immigrants are welcome here just as the Irish are welcome elsewhere: sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. The ignorant, illiterate views expressed by awoken32 show the workings of someone with a sick mind, as much deserving of pity as condemnation, but would never have the guts to sign his own name and prefers to hide behind the anonymity of sites like these

  i know george can you beleive this coming from a nigerian?look at nigeria compared to irish,whish country is more racist nigeria or ireland?stupid question,which country is more corrupt nigeria or ireland? stupid question,which country treats its citizens better nigeria or ireland?stupid question,the nigerian embassy should be called out on their racist remarks about the people of ireland,they have some neck,they contribute nothing to our country and should be in there own country

• Irishblack | Nov 30, 2011, 10:56 AM EST

  Awoken32, I like the fact that you are fighting for indigenous Irish people and culture. Ironically, non of my Irish workmates have a good command of Gaeilge. I speak 2 indigenous African languages, thats culture right there. I'm guessing that once the mass deportations occur, the people with legal right to be in Ireland, like the British and EU Citizens will all turn into Irish and be Riverdance experts? Dude, come up with a better argument about how asylum seekers personally affect your life and why you want them out. More Irony is the fact that the biggest number of foreigners in Ireland are probably British...the same crew who raped and pillaged Ireland for 800 years. I guess the saying that Ireland is the a-hole of Britian is true. Seriously, come up with a better debate and check your spellings. I have a feeling you're a product of the Irish education system and I don't want to get started on that.

• GeorgeDillon | Nov 30, 2011, 10:33 AM EST

  I read where some official of the Nigerian Embassy accused the Irish people of being "racists". What a cheeky jerk. A properly run country--which Ireland isn't--would kick this guy 's rear right out of the country and tell him not to show his face in Ireland again.

• awoken32 | Nov 30, 2011, 06:23 AM EST

  irishblack mass immigration to ireland is illegal an with out mandate,if people are fleeing persecution the law says they go to the nearest country to their border an not travel past the whole of europe to reach ireland,that is a law,an a good law at that,so all asylum seekers in this country should be deported,do you not beleive that the indiginus irish population should have the right to protect their culture an their status as the major majority in their own country?an dont say mass immigration is no threath when you just have to look at any country that has sutterd this mass immigration to see the results of the change in demographics for yourself,it is not good for the indiginus people an that is a FACT

• awoken32 | Nov 30, 2011, 06:07 AM EST

  irishblack this is not a debate about the irish government an the bankers,we all know what they done,and they will pay,this is about forced mass immigration/invasion with out a mandate an the threath it poses to the indiginus population of ireland,and that it cant go on,we need mass deportations,im not surprised to here you play the racist card as above thats what you8r people always do,at the drop of a hat,we are not blaming mass immigration for the reccession,we are saying the problem it poses for the indiginus irish,just look at any country that has mass immigration an look at the results for the culture an population of the indiginus,look mass immigration is illegal it never had a mandaye an the irish are sick of it,a vote on it will put that clear,its the likes of use playing the racist card an try to demonise the indiginus population at every oppoutunity,youse do it in every country youse invade on mass,an that is a fact,so the sooner the better the democratic right of the irish gets recognised an we get our vote the sonner we can start fixing this problem,our island is to small to take this burden,we wanna keep ireland irish,we have the human right to keep ireland irish,an stop keep using the word racist as a word to put down white peole,esp irish white people,as you my freind african black peole are 99.9 percent more racist as you an the main post above shows

• Irishblack | Nov 30, 2011, 05:25 AM EST

  Not surprised by how many people are saying "kick them out". The fools though, have forgotten that their Irish white leaders and bankers have richly rewarded themselves and developers with your tax money, leaving the Irish nation broke. The less than 1% of the black population are now on the receiving end because the fools can't stand up to their own people who have driven this country to ruin. Civil servants getting lump sums of 300K and pensions of 200K annually..you Irish racists are really dumb not to see the bigger picture. I'm sure ya'll reckon if the 40,000 Africans in Ireland left, the 50,000 Irish that emmigrated in 2011 would come back and the 75,000 predicted to leave in 2012 would stay and everything would be back to the good celtic times. What fools ye' are. Everything won't be "grand" in Ireland in a very long time. There won't be any "craic" either. Just doom and gloom. It is human nature to lay blame squarely where it doesn't lie and Irish xhenophobes have proved that.

  Aborigines certainly did suffer greatly in the past.I did not aid in their suffering.They have the same rights as everyone else.Aborigines who choose to live in the outback certainly need government help.Billions are spent on aboriginal health /education and more can be done.Clutching at straws to ameliorate your bigotry is futile.We are the future awoken32 you and your coterie of bigots live in a victorian age bubble,careful it does'nt burst you might broaden your horizons and free your collective minds of spite and hate

• TODufaigh | Nov 29, 2011, 03:37 PM EST

  I note that GeorgeDillon is unable to debate the issue in Irish as I challenged him to do. Not in itself a problem of course, but like all blustering liars he chose to make a claim that was unsustainable. As for your insulting, racist, bigoted language, you obviously understand the principle that if you have absolutely nothing of value or interest to say, then you play the man, not the ball.

• GeorgeDillon | Nov 29, 2011, 03:15 PM EST

  awoken32--You're right in a lot of what you say, but you're wrong to think this shill sirpeter would even understand one line of Karl Marx. Mark was for the workers, sirpeter is for the bosses. He's a right-wing nutter.

• awoken32 | Nov 29, 2011, 11:16 AM EST

  sirpeter why dont you move to asia or afrrica? multiculture has not worked in one single country,it raises crime,lowers wages,puts a strain on houseing/welfare,causes division is totally illegal with no mandate,george dillon is a realist,you sir peter are an indocturnated sheeple with marxist ideology couseing through your veins,you read out stats from the corrupted media sources,which in truth are total BS,you do not beleive the irish people should have a say in what happens in their own country,so you dont beleive in democracy i guess? but the REAL TRUTH is people like you are the small minority if it ever goes to a vote an you know it,common sence passes you by while you lap up the marxist programming,your exactly like a politican,totally out of touch with reality

• sirpeter | Nov 29, 2011, 09:27 AM EST

  Georgie Boy.There are dozens of arguments to support LEGAL immigrants coming into a country is a good thing.Firstly most immigrants are young and are in or just starting the most productive part of their life's.Secondly immigrants bring in new ideas from their country of birth.Thirdly immigrants tend to be more inventive and willing to take a chance in the land they go to.This is all good for a country.Your ethnocentric ways is just a load of crap Georgie.I can trace my roots back 600 years.Just by tracing the surnames in my family tree I have Celtic/Scandinavian/Danish/Welsh/Scottish and English blood running through my veins.All my ancestors fancied having having a go at the new immigrant women.This was all good and I know it was enjoyable.The problem with you Georgie Boy is you have been thought to keep it in the family.Hence you end up with the likes of...YOU!!

• IrishInTX | Nov 29, 2011, 08:10 AM EST

  When I read this article, it made my blood boil. After years of doing my family's Irish genealogy research, the only racists are the one's appearing in the above picture based on their total ignorance of Irish history. The Irish were beaten, burned, starved, evicted, jailed, murdered and enslaved - all at the hands of outsiders. Yes, enslaved per the shipping manifest in Canada detailing Irish slaves. Yet through faith and time, the Irish rose above these atrocities. The Irish forgave, but did not forget. Calling people racist may have worked for the blacks in the past, but they are now in the wrong country. If you don't like Ireland, then leave. If you think you can go all "attitude" because you are black, think again; you are in the wrong country that consistently been known for its pleasant people. But if you push them, they will push back. If you are a guest in their country, then act like a well mannered one. The Irish culture should not be diluted by fictitious, lame excuses labeling them bigots or racists by a group of black people speaking out from a point of total ignorance. Time to throw away the crutch! I am sure if I was to visit Ireland again, I would be sorely disappointed. The indigenous people of the island probably would no longer hand me the keys to their homes as I went out for the day/night to see the sights. I was a total stranger to whom they entrusted their lives and worldly possessions while staying in B and B's. That visit and their sense of trust in a fellow human being was the Irish cultures greatest gift and is indelibly burned into my memory. I met so many wonderful people, who were gracious and kind. If the Irish people have been robbed of these treasured traits, then kick all of the scoundrels out.

  ODufaigh: " ignorant racist gobshite" etc. What is it about the Mass Immigrationists in Ireland that they can never offer a logical defense of the importation of vast numbers of foreign migrants into a small island off mainland Europe? If it was such a good idea, wouldn't there be dozens of arguments to support it? But all that comes from these racist loons is abuse and vulgarity. How come these bigots (that's with one /g/, seanomelbourne) can't offer even ONE piece of evidence that this was a good idea? How is it that they're so out of step with the majority of Irish people, who consistently when polled have opposed Mass Immigration? The answer is that posters like ODufaigh are nothing more than racist fools, incapable of rational argument. Odufaigh, if your position has any merit, even a simpleton such as you should be able to give us THREE good reasons to justify the ethnosuicide currently under way in Ireland. Give us just THREE reasons, you racist goon. And by the way Mr Dopey O Dufaigh, I am an Irish citizen. I have as much right to defend my country as you do to attack it, and far more than your African fellow-racists who have no roots in Ireland.

• GeorgeDillon | Nov 29, 2011, 02:57 AM EST

  Todufaigh: You're a right-winger, aren't you?. You certainly support the Irish bosses and capitalists' project (implemented by the right-wing Fianna Fail party) to import vast numbers of units of cheap labor into the Irish labor market. The object was to flood the labor market with throngs of compliant and docile foreign workers and so bring down the conditions and wages of Irish workers. Tragically, it's succeeded--the Irish labor movement has proved powerless throughout the current crisis. It's a repetition of the Lockout of almost a century ago, when foreign workers were brought into Dublin to break the Dublin working class. Right-wing jerks like you must be really happy with how working-class militancy and solidarity has been neutralized in Ireland by the arrival of huge numbers of Polish workers, for example (the Poles were the only workers ever to demonstrate in FAVOR of capitalism!). As a progressive, I sure am not happy with the current low fighting spirit and morale of the Irish working class, but this game ain't over yet. O Dufaigh, I hope to see right wing racists such as you on the garbage pile of history, where you belong.

  PolinDeB, are you for real, quoting the proclamation of the Republic as a justification of Nigerian (and whomever - Hutterites to Hottentots) IMMIGRATION TO Ireland? "from an alien government?" This is a majorily alien issue, to have the Irish people ignore, tolerate, coddle, the erosion of their cultural essence. The Irish people need to defend their culture, not "siege" aliens.

• TODufaigh | Nov 28, 2011, 06:32 PM EST

  I do wonder what attracts the extreme right, people who are clearly not only bigoted but as thick as the wall, to post so frequently to a balanced and informed website like IrishCentral.com. The journalists and their reportage, whether one agrees with them or not, is of a good standard. The comments of the GeorgeDillons of the world are from a b-movie KKK scenario. Curious...

As for 'racist bigotry and hate', the psychologists (look it up, it's in the dictionary, if you can read) call that projection You're not so different from our illiterate friend awoken32, who really should go back to sleep again.

  Our newly arrived racist TODufaigh has offered nothing but bigotry and abuse since he popped up here. For the record, I believe he's a liar and a troll. He's no more a native speaker of Irish than I am of Tagalog. But more important, he's a liar and a coward. He tries to give the impression (where's he posting from, Timbuctoo?) that most Irish people think it's a good idea to cede their homeland to Poles, Russians, Filipinos, Angolans etc. He wants Irish people to say to these arrivals "Come On In and Make Yourselves At Home, We Were Just Leaving". Well my racist goon ODufaigh, there are still countless Irish people who say "This is our homeland, the only one we have or will ever have. Here we will make our stand--we have nowhere else to go to". Racist vermin like you wouldn't understand free men and women of course. You're worthless ODufaigh, why don't you crawl back into whatever dark corner of bigotry and hate you just crept out of.

  GeorgeDillon's ignorance of the Irish language is not a major issue, except insofar as he claims otherwise(I am a native speaker). It's a pity that his racist/fascist views pollute so much of this website though. He seems to be incapable of expressing himself other than in abusive terms. I'm glad you've got him over there and that he's not here; people in Ireland have mostly moved on from this kind of drivel.

• IrelandNorth | Nov 28, 2011, 08:19 AM EST

  A glaring oversight of successive Irish governments is that charity begins at home. If you apportion increasinglly diminishing resources to immigrants to the detriment of native working class people, what reaction do the authorities expect. Am I a racist for saying this?

• GeorgeDillon | Nov 28, 2011, 02:00 AM EST

What part of the 1916 Proclamation speaks of cherishing the children of Poland, of Latvia, of Angola, of China, of Russia, of Australia, of South Africa...how many more countries do you want me to name?

  I enjoyed the post from GeorgeDillon below about the Irish language - it shows he doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to the Irish language any more than when it comes to his stupid and ill-informed views on immigration. 'Deoraí', of course, means 'exile', not 'immigrant' but George clearly doesn't let facts get in his way. Maybe he should make more of an effort himself to learn the 'language of his ancestors' and lay off spouting racist garbage.

• PolinDeB | Nov 27, 2011, 07:51 PM EST

  Yeah.. good to see the bigots out in force.. given that the proclamation speaks of equality for all our children.. target behaviour not people... The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past.

• EamonnDublin | Nov 27, 2011, 05:59 PM EST

  To "Seanomelbourne"! I haven't got a clue about the origins, colour, class, etc., of people who wrongfully park in disabled bays. My story below was simply telling it as it happened to me. It was not "innuendo". Can you not just understand that? The point of my story was that simply because one states that he/she is a victim of racism does not in itself prove that he/she has indeed been a victim of racism. Got it? If not, sorry, I can't help you! And by the way, by implying that I am an anti-black racist using my post to "justify my bigotry" is astoundingly stupid.

• RockNReel | Nov 27, 2011, 02:43 PM EST

  The Nigerians who have come to Ireland would need to learn a few home truths about the steely determination and resolve of the Irish people living in the Republic. We pushed the British out despite our small population and we will not be dictated to by bad mannered bullys no matter what their colour . Its been proven time and time again that a lot of these so called asylum seekers are using and abusing the already overworked system here--I could give examples but suffice to say one so called asylum seeker here cost the state over a million euros before being caught out and deported. As in all nationalities there's good and bad but if you live in ireland then you follow the rules in Ireland. When in Rome etc etc!!,....Good manners and less aggressiveness would be a start. Show respect if you want be be respected. Dont break the laws would be another step forward. The posters here who blame the death in Dublin on racism are living on a different planet. And, if the mayor of Naas was being bullied or felt threatened which I now believe he was, then he was a coward and should not have bowed down. The do gooders have a lot to learn when it comes to opening the floodgates--just have a look at London today. Ask any decent British man or woman,black or white , what they think of the recent influx of bad mannered opportunists and abusers of the health system and the social security system and you will get your answer. Are going to let the same happen in Ireland? I think the Irish people are stronger willed that that.

• EamonnDublin | Nov 27, 2011, 02:36 PM EST

  A few years ago, down at the Liffey Quays in Dublin, I told a black car driver that he should not park his car in a space in which he had just parked, because it was marked for disabled drivers only. He told me that he was only going to be a few minutes away. The man continued to get out of his car and I told him politely that he would probably be clamped by the time he got back. I was simply trying to do him a favour. He got back into his car to drive away and as he did so he shouted at me that I was a "f***ing racist". Need I say any more?

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them. Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites. What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries? How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem? And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this? But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

This is WHITE GENOCIDE for it ONLY applies to ALL White countries and ONLY White countries. No one is demanding Africa be made less African. No one is demanding that Asia be made more Asian. Diversity, human rights, asylum seekers, brotherhood, affirmative action, "there is only one race", are all CODE WORDS for "too many White people." Wake up and fight WHITE GENOCIDE.

You show your ignorance in claiming that "there's not an equivalent word in Gaelic for immigrants". That's foolish garbage. Two words come to mind immediately, deorai and inimirceach. What a bogus "multiculturalist" you are, you're more interested in foreign migrants in Ireland than you are in the Irish and their heritage. And your point about the Irish "not welcoming others" is utter stupidity also. Why should the Irish people cede their ancient homeland to a motley group of Russians, Poles, Paks, Africans, Arabs, Romanians etc ? Have you opened your home to the homeless? How many Mexican migrants are living under your roof? What a fraud you are. If 10 million Chinese arrive in Ireland should the four or five million Irish say "Come in, You're All Welcome, We were Just Leaving"?

  For those African immigrants who have fled to Europe, Canada, and the United States, I ask this: why are you not helping rebuild Africa? Countless numbers of your brothers and sisters have attained degrees in higher education and valuable experience in business and the marketplace. Again I ask, why are you not utilizing these skills to save Africa?

• usacelt1 | Nov 27, 2011, 12:22 AM EST

  All people, regardless of race, should be treated with dignity and respect. We are all children of God. Whoever killed that man should be hunted down and brought to justice. If it was a murder based upon his race, then that makes the crime even far worse. I say he is even subject to the death penalty for committing a homicide driven by hatred. That is one separate issue. Another issue arises: is it right for immigrants and mass immigration to gradually replace the established culture of a nation? I say, NO. It was morally unjustifiable in what is now the present-day United States, and it was horridly wrong when Europeans attempted to do so in Africa. It is likewise morally indefensible for modern-day immigration to alter the face of European nations. Since Africans are fleeing Africa in droves, it is lucidly clear the continent can not govern itself. It is time to establish a United Nations mandate over the entire continent, and have UN peacekeepers patrol multiple regions of the country to ensure peace.

That African diplomat is a disgrace and should be expelled from the country because you know very well despite all the bogus claims of "discrimination," he and his kind won't be leaving back to Africa.

  Not to be rude, but why are there Black immigrants in Ireland? Black diplomats, Black refugees (temporary) on extraordinary asylum grounds, Black visiting scholars, Black work visa residents (with needed skills,) Black or African exchange students, businesspersons, investors, tourists, Black priests to say Mass, etc. But why are we (the Irish people) with Black immigrants? Is there an African country in the EU? Has Ireland, with its Celtic Tiger, made a commitment to global multiculturalism?

• LacarourSeanB | Nov 26, 2011, 07:40 PM EST

  Pittsburgh kid: It's obvious that you're not from Cleveland. "Statis" is actually spelled status. Seriously though, for a group of people whose "Exiles" (apparently there's not an equivalent word in Gaelic for immigrants) were 'White niggers" but a few generations ago and who endured the 'NINA" signs (No Irish Need apply), one would think that there might be a greater sensitivity on this subject. Insofar as Ireland per se being "Pure", Ireland's native population is anything but. As a documentary I saw a few years ago put it, The Irish are essentially like their whiskey, 80 proof. Celts, Vikings, Normans and perhaps a few more make up what has become the modern "Irish race". Jimmy Carter caught flak for a comment in the 1976 Presidential campaign for indicating that he understood the desire on the part of certain neighborhoods in American cities to remain attached to a unique ethnic identity. That wasn't racist but an understanding that some folks are more comfortable in home territory, in a place where folks are "one of your own." That being said, not welcoming others (Cead Mile Failte IS a distinct Irishism), not extending help and hope to others, origin notwithstanding, can be nothing less than a sin (which, by the way, in spite of Cloyne and Embassy closures still exists. As a matter of fact, BOTH Cloyne AND the Embassy closure may be sins). Doors, unless there's a clear cut matter of security and safety at stake, should not be closed. Minds and hearts should never be closed. People are people. Sure the issue is a bit complex at times but Jesus came for ALL of us. It's good to reflect upon that. Erin Go Bragh and may she do so in Peace Justice and Love.

• simplesandy | Nov 26, 2011, 07:23 PM EST

  Well I wish I could say I am not judgmental but I can't. As for living in Ireland if you’re not of Irish decent then you are not Irish and you are a BLOW-IN. I feel that if you want to move to another country then so be it. BUT move there with their culture. You left your culture behind. Don’t try to cram another culture down ppls throats because you can't live in the country you were born in. don't try to change their laws to suit yourself. And if you are going to go to another country you should be able to work and take care of yourself. If there is no work there then better find another country. As for race, every culture is a race. And to want people to take pity on you because of your past history forget it. Isn’t going to happen especially in the European countries. They went through just as bad if not worse times in their pasts. Get over yourselves. And for those who are on the blunt end of a nationality joke laugh and get over it. People are too sensitive today. Get a life. I don't understand why certain people can use the word white crackers but use the N word and wow you spoke out of line. Get over yourselves everyone.

  I also find it disturbing that the Obama presidency in the US seems to have killed off practically all traces of the Kennedys in the political realm. For a long time it was my suspicion that JFK Jr was murdered so an African could seize that opportunity. It was widely rumored that JFK Jr was thinking of entering the poltics when he was killed. It was known by anyone in NY that had JFK Jr entered the race, he was unbeatable and the country would have experienced a renewed sense of the youthful exhuberence of "Camelot"..The American Africans were EXTREMELY jealous of such an opportunity...they saw their drug dealing as a parallel to the Kennedys bootlegging background...And they wanted to topple that gang..Regardless that it was Ted Kennedy who gave Obama the chance.....Especially in NYC...As the American Africans had been aggressivily pursuing to dominate with their own racist agenda through the US media outlets in the 90's in the wake of the uptick that the "We Are the World" sentiment provided them.

  Africans can be extremely racist. Every time the deem another culture racist, it is a statement of their own racial intent....If they see a opportunity where there is no resistence to their race the will use race to seize upon it and exploit it for their own at the expense of the host....America's idealism and mandate provides such an opportunity, but where does a nation with such a clear cultural identity as Ireland have a responsibility to integrate and even denigrate its own culture at the behest of a transient population? The success of a transient population to subvert an indigenous culture is matter of simple physics...Momemntum and energy gathers speed and power where there is no resistence... Remember God and Nature made race..not men....And by all means it is survival strategy...perhaps solely for the reason that a species need not be compelled to consume its own...My sense of this is that Africans are comfortable with this...because it is "of the planet" and not the wishes of a heavenly order.

  Brenda20,First off Ireland never colonized or enslaved anyone. Many Irish were enslaved in the 17th century and sent to Carribean Islands etc. by the English King. Native African tribal leaders were involved with selling slaves to the colonists and in fact slavery still exists in parts of Africa and there are no whites involved. Sorry, this is not revisionist history such as is taught by the PC left but facts.

• stanJames | Nov 26, 2011, 05:22 PM EST

  there is racism everywhere - look at the USA. Obama has received more death threats then all other presidents combined since they started keeping data in 1948 On the other hand, its time the racist blacks are outed and kicked out of dear Ireland. In eg Uganda, they are trying to pass a law best described as a hitlerite genocide of gays. It wasnt/ btw just the Jews who went to the ovens but the gays as well. And Uganda is also trying to pass anti gay bills also. I would suggest that every black non citizen immigrant to Ireland be required to sign a statement that they support equal rights for gays, and also civil unions as a minimum. Dont want to do it - send them to Putin with a deal to put them in the Gulag. At least there will be work exploiting the national resources of the Russian far east. And the Russians I'm sure wont be fooling around The strangely applicable statement comes to mind - is the pot calling the kettle black.

• Pittsburghkid | Nov 26, 2011, 05:21 PM EST

  You should have never let them in the first place. Next they are going to want special statis, and hiring quotas. It is not going to work. The English were immigrants. They establish rules that an Irishmen could not walk the roads at night, or they would be sent to the colonies. Is this what the Blacks want?

• bogsidebunny | Nov 26, 2011, 05:09 PM EST

  Got news for all ye naive "Irish-Americans". The bulk of the Irish hate black-Africans. They were foisted upon the Irish by do-gooder Politically-correct types who actually believe in the idiotic, "We can all get along in love and harmoney" garbage. Reality says tribalism will always exist and the clashes will continue.

• Brnmar1 | Nov 26, 2011, 05:02 PM EST

  So many hateful comments against the people of African ancestry. Be careful! A natural disaster may soon visit the vicinity of hateful people. The hateful people of ancient Egypt, Noah's people, Sodom and Gomorrah, Babylon, Pompeii etc all swept away by natural disasters. Cultivating hatred in your souls will bring about your physical destruction. The different ethnic groups in this world, are a test from our Lord-Creator. To see how we will behave when circumstances bring us together. Love and kind treatment towards each other, will endear us to the Angels of our Lord-Creator.

• jimmy12003 | Nov 26, 2011, 04:52 PM EST

  when irish people went to america trough the years in search of a better life, every last one of them worked, and worked hard at that! 1, to survive. 2, to better them selves, there was no hand outs in america for people like us, you had to work and prove yourself! pardon my french! but these useless tribe of cu-nts that come in to ireland, are already schooled on how to work the benifit system! housing, medical,travel everything and if anyone raises a voice, they play the race card! i was in newyork for seven years, so i seen alot of the way they work the race card to there advantage, but it doesnt carry as much weight now, but here in ireland, people are still afraid to open there mouth, because its would be racist!

• Brolaur | Nov 26, 2011, 04:44 PM EST

  We all must condemn racism. There are members of my own family that have to be reminded of this regularly. It is based on IGNORANCE but ignorance has to be confronted. It's for each person to condemn it and of course the schools must deal with it too.

• johnny111 | Nov 26, 2011, 04:19 PM EST

  yes there is racist comments by white people in Ireland. But also what the mayor of naas said is true. Everybody knows this.

• calceltic | Nov 26, 2011, 04:18 PM EST

  his isn't an Irish only dilemma it's a western dilemma. Happening everywhere, it's too late to stem the tide of human migration so people will have to accept and get along. The Celtic Tiger killed off more than poverty, it killed of the root of what made Ireland so special, it's culture and close knit society.

• merefalow | Nov 26, 2011, 03:54 PM EST

  its not racist to object to your whole country being changed in one generation,i dont believe people hate people just because they are black,i do believe that most people black white green or yellow would seriously object to being swamped ,their education,housing,health systems, ,pension systems all put under extreme duress,while they are forced to provide for strangers their children are forced to leave home to find work,who the hell would vote for that.all without ever being given the chance to democratically vote on whether they wanted it,it was forced upon them by political do gooding love everybody eu bought politicoes..ask the red squirrel what he thinks of mass uncontrolled imigration,he,s almost extinct in his own country thanks to the introduction of greys..racial integration multi culteralism does not work..but it destroys the individuality of a race..and tell me where it works then,it just simmers away kept in check by police and the fact they are divided by ghetots,every once in a while it kicks off,america,scary..sirens going all the time,have to be always on your guard in the cities,,brilliant example of racial harmony..not

• jimmyjimjim | Nov 26, 2011, 03:14 PM EST

  We have all heard politicians talk about diversity, tolerance, understanding, multiculturalism, immigration, integration, assimilation, the melting pot and so on but its only ever in regards to ONLY white countries and ALL white countries. This is genocide through racial replacement. Genocide does not need to be violent, it does not need to be by bullets or mustard gas. They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white. Anti-racism is a CODE WORD for anti-white

• UKIreland | Nov 26, 2011, 03:08 PM EST

  @awoken32: did you mean Racist or faScist? By the way, when Enoch Powell came to paliament in 1950 it was common to have "no blacks, no Irish, no dogs" notices in English boarding houses. How do you like that? I guess it's OK because at least the Irish weren't at the top of the list, and well, what were they doing emigrating in the first place? Should have stayed home where they belonged ?

• GeorgeDillon | Nov 26, 2011, 03:01 PM EST

  As usual, antoman's clownish version of history is laughable in its stupidity. Contrary to what this clown thinks, Powell went to the North of Ireland years AFTER the violence had started. His arrival did not "result in violence", the violence had been going on since 1968. What a knuckledragging fool you are, antoman aka sirpeter.

• GeorgeDillon | Nov 26, 2011, 02:57 PM EST

  UKIreland--you appear to be nothing but a racist low-life. What a jerk--you claim to know the circumstances of that killing in Dublin, were you there? Go tell the cops if you have information--stop spewing your hate here. You want the ancient nation of Ireland to commit ethnosuicide and cede its homeland to African, Asian and Eastern European migrants. But the Irish people want to survive as a distinct nation among the community of nations--why do you want Irishness to be extirpated? Ireland is the only homeland of the Irish people, the only such homeland that exists or ever will exist. Most Irish despise racist vermin such as you. I sure do.

• UKIreland | Nov 26, 2011, 02:47 PM EST

  @awoken32; clearly the African community feels that some form of racism may have been a motivating factor in the manslaughter. Racist attitudes influence behavior. I highly doubt that the 20 year old kid who punched this taxi driver (because his taxi was already full and he wouldn't take him) would have tried that on a native-born Dubliner. Do you ? @ other commenters: many of your ancestors experienced discrimination at home in Ireland and again when they came to white Anglo Saxon Protestant America. You don't honor their memory by indulging in the same low-class bigotry. You should be bigger than that. Racism is for bullying low-lifes, and is not fitting for a proud independent nation such as Ireland.

• YardleyGeorge | Nov 26, 2011, 02:42 PM EST

  "The silence is too much.” White people want answers from "our" politicians as to why they are forcing mass immigration and "assimilation" (i.e genocide) on all white countries and ONLY white countries. Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-white.

• antoman | Nov 26, 2011, 02:39 PM EST

  @awoken- Nice guy Enoch Powell. After getting ran out of the UK where he had agitated white people and black. He went to N.Ireland where he changed it to Protestants v Catholics. Resulting in violence. Yup. Real nice chap that Enoch.

• awoken32 | Nov 26, 2011, 02:35 PM EST

• antoman | Nov 26, 2011, 02:32 PM EST

  In all the years I've been watching RTE news. Not once has a black person read the news. In the event it happens the Americans should have a carrier off the coast. Most of the population will either spontaneously combust or have heart attacks. The Americans simply wade ashore..a whole Island. Mind you these Americans coming ashore have to be white and of Irish descent like.

• jimmyjimjim | Nov 26, 2011, 02:31 PM EST

  ALL White countries and ONLY White countries are being flooded with non Whites and forced to assimilate with them. We've all heard how everything will be better once the races are all mixed. They say that is the solution to the "race problem. No, it is genocide-plain and simple. This is NOT happening in any of the African, Asian or Arab countries. ONLY White countries and ALL White countries. It is WHITE GENOCIDE. The Religion of Political Correctness Commands what is non-white belongs to non-whites. What is white also belongs to non-whites. Nothing belongs to White people. If whites attempt to preserve anything for our selves we are stealing/denying what rightfully belongs to the entire non-white world. The concept of “Humanity” is used to deny us what is ours. Mommy Professor’s idea of justice demands Genocide as a punishment for theft. Anti-racism is a CODE WORD for anti-white

  It's too bad you haven't shut the door already. Here in the USA we're rapidly approaching the disaster that most of Western Europe has already become... 'Trojan Horse' is good, though 'Camel' comes to mind too. Here, any dissent or complaint is buried with a cacophony of accusations of Racism - you're branded a Racist if you don't roll over and acquiesce. I've told my sons to consider moving home to Ireland, but it seems you're rapidly trying to emulate the western p.c. idiocy that has ruined Western Europe and is ruining the USA. Shut the door while you can & send them back to Africa while there's still time. They procreate almost as much as the Hispanics and Middle Eastern Muslims who are sure to follow & most often out-of-wedlock = onto the public dole. Then you'll truly loose your 'Ireland'! We've lost America and don't realize it yet (we'd like to exile the Obamas to Indonesia or Kenya too... after he's convicted of treason) SAVE IRELAND WHILE YOU'VE STILL TIME !

• Sectionhand | Nov 26, 2011, 02:06 PM EST

  The quickest way to end "racism" in Ireland is for the Nigerians to go back to Nigeria . It's really quite simple when you think about it . After all , they weren't brought to Ireland against their will on a slave ship now were they ?

• awoken32 | Nov 26, 2011, 02:04 PM EST

  ukireland,what are you talking about?the murder of a black taxi driver?are you stupid,that was not a race crime,you wouldnt even mention it if it was a white taxi driver killed by an african,an tes the irish got a bad neighbour in the uk throughout our history,it still has nothing to do with the irish people having mass immigration forced on them,we never got a vote an do not want it,we want to keep our culture an indiginus ireland,look at the uk,its destroyed by mass immigartion,true londeners are the minority like so many other cities in the uk,ireland wont go down the same route,look at your country its ruined

• UKIreland | Nov 26, 2011, 01:53 PM EST

  wow. Amazed at the "get back to where yous come from" comments here. How many of you ever experienced the sting of an anti-Irish comment or joke, or shrugged off disparaging remarks about Ireland and Irish culture when you have been in England (this was common up until the late 1990s), or heard people imitate your accent or pronunciation ? Possibly none of you. If you claim Irish heritage, what do you think about the discrimination that forced your ancestors, now 4-5 generations removed, to leave their country of birth and come to the US/UK/Australia/Canada to make a better life for themselves and their descendants ? Are you condoning the idiots who are calling up a leading member of their community anonymously with the N-word ? (there's a fine example f our storied Irish courage) Are you condoning the murder of a taxi driver by some street thug who probably doesn't have a job?? If you ever see or hear racial abuse and do nothing about it, then you are just perpetuating the problem.

• jimmyjimjim | Nov 26, 2011, 01:52 PM EST

  Africans have 50 plus countries Africans have one of the best pieces of farmland the world has ever seen Africans have some of the worlds largest populations Africans INSIST of living with Whites as a minority while Whites ARE a minority world wide. They seem to be complaining about a "race problem" This is how the "race problem" works on planet earth..... Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries. The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them. Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites. What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries? How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem? And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this? But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews. They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

• irishpjk | Nov 26, 2011, 01:43 PM EST

  To many blacks show up here with a chip on their shoulder, they look for racism. They ignore our laws, customs and ways do as they please and if you look at them you are a racist. They look for any little excuse to play the race card. I for one am tired of it, you can’t please people like that. The sad thing is many black people are glad to be here and have no problems. But they will get caught up in the backlash from native born people that are just fed up and don’t care anymore.

• Irishiker60 | Nov 26, 2011, 01:29 PM EST

  I highly agree with most folks here. Everywhere the immigrants "immigrant to" there is always trouble, less jobs, & the racism card played. If they all stayed in their own country the immigrants wouldn't have folks doing things to them. Let them all go back to their home country or better yet, DON'T FEEKING LEAVE THEIR COUNTRY !!

• simplesandy | Nov 26, 2011, 01:16 PM EST

  My beliefs are if you go to a country and you feel uncomfortable around people who have strong roots there then go and get out while you can. A friend of mine from America (African American to be politically correct) came to Ireland for a visit. As we were driving through the streets of Cork city she commented to me "Gee there aren’t many Blacks here. I turned to her and held my tongue and said. "Your NOT in Africa, you're in Ireland" that’s the culture here. I tell you, that would be like me going to India and saying where’s the white Americans. lol

  Racism? its always the same,blacks playing the racism card every were they go,for starters they invaded ireland on mass,which whatever way you cut it was illegall,politically morrally an by the law was an illegal invasion,racism is a word that always targets the white population/indiginus people of a country that is being forced to accept this illegal invasion,any white person that speaks out gets targeted straight away by the pc/sheeple and immigrants an called racist,to put it plain an simple ireland does not want or need these african invaders,were is the survey fir the indiginus peopla about the racism commited by the africans?exactly,there isnt one,its always about the immigrants,how about the irish?WE DONT WANT MASS IMMIGRATION,DEPORT THE LOT OF THEM,THEY ONLY CAUSE DIVISION AND MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE INDIGINUS PEOPLE,NO TO MASS IMMIGRATION/INVASION,YES TO MASS DEPORTATIONS,THEY WILL NEVER BE IRISH,THEY ARE THE HORSE OF TROY

• SeamusMor | Nov 26, 2011, 11:25 AM EST

  "Strong measures" from government will not end racism. Laws only effect behavior, not hearts and minds. The rise of racism is proportional and connected to the decline in influence of the Catholic Church in Ireland. Racism is worse than a crime, it is a sin. A great spiritual renewal is in order for the Irish, in whose psyche resides an echo of the zeal for Christ's message of love and compassion.The flame may be out, but the embers are still warm.

• jocheatham | Nov 26, 2011, 11:11 AM EST

They would make Cromwell blush.

• milfordmama | Nov 26, 2011, 11:05 AM EST

  Mistreating people is always wrong, but more tensions can only be expected when foreigners come to a country and take jobs away from the citizens. It is happening all around the world and here in the US also. I think racial tensions have increased since Obama became president actually, but the black population doesn't even speak up about the MILLIONS of illegals we have had enter the US because they support the black president. The terrible unemployment rates are worse amongst the black communities than white even, but they don't criticize the prez because he is black.

(Quite happy to live of foreign money - but not with 'the foreign People!) ~~~ Anyone feeling they are, or might be, racially abused, should carry and produce a copy of the Easter 1916 Proclamation and claim that the signatories died, and cleared the British out so there would be plenty of room for them to come and live here! ~~~ Emmm, ... (Is that Silence I hear....
