Racist site called 'Irate Irishman' slams blacks and minorities

An incredibly racist site calling itself the Irate Irishman is drawing the anger of leading Irish Americans.

One of the recent stories calls Obama deeply racist names and sneers at an African American man kneeling as Obama's entourage leaves a public meeting (above)

On the site a series of anti-black stories are published with lurid details about alleged incidents involving blacks.

The language is extremely prejudiced and racist in tone and content.

The motto of the site is "Just when you think n.... can't sink any lower, they manage to drain just a little more from the cesspool"

The site, on the word press program has been operating at least as far back as August 2009.

The "Irate Irishman" writes in his introduction:

"To all of you who faithfully visit and read my blog it should be fairly obvious by now why I maintain this site and post the articles I do.

Sure I try to have fun with it, but the main goal of this site is to educate the public and those of you that may have lived under the cabbage leaf a little too long, about the failed mutations of nature that we so affectionately call n..... Those of you who are cognizant and aware of the world around you understand in high clarity what is transpiring in this country and the future we will face if things don’t change in the very near future. It should scare you to death.

"Do I hate n...? No I really don’t. Actually I don’t hate anyone. I simply understand that this species is a retarded and failed mutation of nature and use the proper precautions and govern myself accordingly when around them. I realize and understand that they are animals and predisposed to animalistic behavior."

I believe the existence of the site and its title will be challenged by leading Irish American groups who do not want the image of being racist attached to the Irish in America who endured centuries of discrimination themselves.

It is time such racists are challenged and removed.

Irate Irishman is no doubt very grateful for the publicity, but it is nonetheless useful that the public be reminded that there are such foul scum like him stirring up unnecessary trouble.

Have you ever listened to the lyrics of popular rap songs? HATE whitey abounds. Why does the black candidate when he or she is running agaist a caucasian , always get 90% of the black vote? Why do blacks get a free pass on being totally racist while white racists are totally ostracised?

Why would you want to give this website free publicity here? That's dumb. There's a very high likelihood that so-called "Irate Irishman" isn't even Irish, but wants to promote both racism and animosity between African and Irish-Americans.

Writing full excerpts from this hateful blog are only inciting anger and fear. Bad move IC--Mr. Roberts, perhaps you should go write for the Daily Mail instead.

This level of racism goes only so far. It basically applies to those who act "uppity", and attempt to assume positions in elected office, corporate headquarters, etc. which are reserved for the white people. These same racists however cheer loudly when dark-skinned athletes perform admirably for their favorite teams- but that's OK since that is exactly where they belong. For them the athletic playing fields are the cotton fields of old.

A Freedom of speech issue here - we're muzzled enough to be the sheep we are. People are a mixed bag of things - but if we claim to be chosen we have no answer for such racist nonesense.

Lots of Black Americans with Irish last names are Irish, genetically. The premier Black Studies scholar at Harvard, for example, Henry Louis Gates, traced his own genes to Dublin. Irish were more desperate than more established northern Black people in cities like New York in the 19th century, and when Irish prostitutes gave birth to Black babies, they gave the child their own last names. Many Irish last names in the Black community come from complicated relationships in the northern slave-free cities. Much of what has been boiled down into stupid illogical racism was really more about money and inter-group competition for limited resources like jobs that were controlled by the WASPs. As the Irish broke into WASP management, they adopted some of the racist ideas of the Anglo-master--to all our shame.

Sadly a lot of Irish Americans (particularly of the older generation) would have views like this. And yes I have seen it with my own eyes both in America and Irish Americans visiting Ireland. The website is vile. It is shameful that the fu** idiot should be allowed to post such hateful garbage

My father told me of signs from the 30s-40s that said, "No dogs. No n...s. No Irish. No soldiers." Note the order. Give me a break! I've never understood the Irish being prejudice. Whose personal agenda are you promoting? We'd like to know.

This is ridiculous - Irate Irishman's ancestors suffered years back, thanks to people like him. Gross

Yes, just what is your motive here? Wait until you see the comments that will appear here on this site, which has its share of haters, racists and bigots. Give this guy publicity, why don't you? Put him on your payroll.
