Irish Americans have no real clue about Ireland - top ten reasons they get a bad name

The photo in this blame article says it all. Barry is being humorless--I mean-humorous.

Barry - been to Holland or France or the regional UK cities lately? I can tell you have not.

@IrelandNorth/WoundedKnee Lol there is a Facebook page showing the Bobby Sands burger joint in Tehran ... Maybe your politics are closer to Tehran than Ireland

Irish-Americans "can be a little bit out of touch with modern Ireland and mant of them do seem to have racist tendencies". More ignorant bigotry from Barry, who is becoming a bit of a pain in the neck with his constant prejudice. His invective is not worth analyzing logically--hate speech never is--but maybe he would give us statistics to backk uo the "racist" slur that he throws into every post? And will he tell us how HE claims to be in touch with modern Ireland, when his support for the colonization of Ireland by foreigners is very much a minority opinion among Irish people. The fact is that Barry is a bore, just another right-wing apologist for big business and capitalism, for globalization and against cultural diversity. BORING Barry!

warrenpoint00! Consider more carefully the import of my terminology. One nation - two [artificial] states - four provinces - thirty-two counties. dingle999! Agreed. Potatoe blights and buffalo slaughter were the symptoms. Laissez-faire economics was the disease. Barry! An Irish e-migrant to America or elsewhere is an American im-migrant!

@IrelandNorth "BTW! Black '47 (first potatoe blight) was to Ireland" Study your Irish History dude.. hint Laissez Faire economics @PatsyGarretty 'Most' Irish Americans who come to Ireland do not have 'ignorant - misguided' views about my country but sadly there is a minority especially concerning the IRA (so call fight for freedom)and think the Wolf Tones is actually part of real Irish culture.. need a proper education

Patsy: Irish like Barry can't look in the mirror, and see his own bigotry. He doesn't even realize it.

Barry: That is up to their own countries,to provide a better standard of living for them. You take care of you own first. Obviously, there were too many Non-White BA employees to count. The UK is a separate nation, I am just saying that is what will happen in Dublin in years to come, if this liberal immigration policy continues. The Irish never colonized anyone there is no reason to feel all of this "guilt" for third world nations.

What a wonderful ambassador James Farrell is for beautiful Ireland!! He is right of course...I had NO IDEA that the Irish were this bitter, sour, ugly group of people!! That they are politically stupid - also a surprise. That they are hypocrites (they don't like jokes about themselves - "demeaning") but they LOVE making jokes about Americans....and they pretend to be something they are not in order to continue to soak the "Irish-Americans" who foolishly spend their tourist dollars on this cursed, bland, and unimaginative little place....all news to me. I've been to Ireland twice...and after reading this corroded thinking...that's probably enough.

@sully1167: I'm sure the vast majority of Muslims have no interest in conquering America or anywhere else. I'm sure those who immigrate to Western countries just want a quiet life and a better standard of living than they have back home. So you saw only 4 white BA employees at Heathrow? You don't say how many non-Whites where there. And what's the problem anyway? If non-Whites weren't working they'd be accused of being welfare scroungers so it's hard for them to win, isn't it? Anyway, London is a global city so it's hardly surprising that it's population is multicultural. @WoundedKnee: I have no hatred for Irish-Americans but they can be a little bit out of touch with modern Ireland and mant of them do seem to have racist tendencies.

WoundedKnee: You are right it is more like, ethno or cultural suicide. The Irish Government and business leaders are more to blame. People like Barry just want to keep the blinders on.

It is quite understandable the Americans, including those of Irish parentage, are very different from Irish natives because former acquired superior DNA by virtue of their birth on U.S. soil. However, the are many U.S. residents who are 3 or 4 generations removed from Ireland and are culturally (and politically ) more Irish than most Dáil members who strongly support Partition and totally reject teanga na nGael.

barry: You place no value on Irish nationality, but many people do, and that includes most Irish people. You are obsessed with hatred of Irish-Americans, but there should be a health warning to the uninformed placed on every one of your posts, since you certainly don't speak for the Irish in Ireland in wanting Irish nationality and ethnicity to be subsumed by the colonization of the country by people from over 100 different lands. Every foreign migrant who arrives in Ireland makes the survival of Irishness more unlikely. Forecasts show that the Irish will be an ethnic minority in their ancient homeland by 2040, that's to say within the lifetime of most who read this. I do agree with you on one thing, however. This is not genocide. The correct word is ethnosuicide.

Barry: Paranoia? perhaps. Words like xenophobia, and Islamaphobia are made up words from the liberal textbook. It's not a phobia if they are trying to conquer you. Have you been to Heathrow lately? I saw maybe 4 white British Airways employees. You are in denial about forced conversions Why are so many Arab Christians fleeing Middle Eastern Countries? They may not force all Non-Muslims to convert, but they will treat them like second class citizens and make them pay a tithe.
