I hear a lot about how black people were treated so bad in america but every one seems to forget the IRISH?

Question

the irish not only dicrimanated against in america but ruled for more then 300 hundered years by the britsh we are still getting over them. They took and kept the north of are country and tried to force their prodastant relgion on us then they turn around and say why you so mad!!! THINK ABOUT IT. feel free to leave a comment

Answer 1

That is a relevant question but in America history has been much crueler to African Americans and African Americans still experience racism, I believe all history especially history as disgusting as this merits discussion, and as someone of African, American Indian and Irish descent(no joke) I completly agree.

Answer 2

I'm Irish too. Don't forget the potato famine, "No Irish Need Apply," and the two Irish brigades that had to fight against each other in the Civil War. I do not think that the struggles of the African American are lesser than the struggles of the Irish American, but you are correct, the Irish (and many other immigrants besides) have had a hard past.

Answer 3

Very true. At one point or another in history every culture has been oppressed or enslaved by another. No one single culture has the monopoly on the subject though some act like they do while others seem to forget where they came from while enslaving or repressing others.

Answer 4

well remember Irish are white so naturally they automatically were better off and far more privileged then the slaves, despite the fact they were shot on sight and were denied jobs because of there heritage.
