As We celebrate St. Patrick's Day, here is something to think about: St. Patty's Day celebrates being Irish, but Americans used to be prejudice and racist against Irish Americans. They called them "violent and subhuman". My point of all of this is that 52 Million Americans have Irish blood. The ancestors of the very people who don't want to talk about racism and are making laws to prevent discussing and teaching about it, were stereotyped and the target of prejudice just 120 years ago. - In the 1880's native-born Americans censured Irish immigrants for their impoverished state and demeanor, alleged slothfulness and lack of restraint, their penchant for over-drinking, their adherence to the Catholic faith, and their potential for engaging in criminal activity and group violence. - The critics of the Irish evaluated their character by observing their physical appearance, utilizing both linguistic and visual methods. Let's eradicate Racism in the future of America by educating our kids about our past.
@krassenstein I love how Americans walk around saying “I’m Irish” when their grandparents were born and raised in America 😂
@krassenstein I didn’t find out I was part Irish until my 30s. My grandmother’s grandma was Irish. The rest of her family was all Scottish. She said “they just didn’t talk about those things back then”. It was a secret. That was in the 1930s. 🤷🏻♀️
@krassenstein The Irish worked hard, and elevated themselves through self-betterment. The Italians also worked hard and elevated themselves through self-betterment. Races that do not work towards self-betterment will not elevate themselves.
@krassenstein I really don't understand what all this hatred is from so many conservatives. I'm not American, but I saw what hatred can result in. Let's just accept everyone for who they are and live in peace everywhere on the planet.
@krassenstein And because of this, the Irish assimilated and became part of our fabric. Something that is now discouraged by leftists. Why aren't you in prison yet?
@krassenstein Now talk about who caused the potatoes famine and tried to kill them.... you'll be surprised who the bad guy in that story is!
@krassenstein Since I’m Irish and my ancestors were treated like savages I want reparations
@krassenstein That’s not what it celebrates dude go a little deeper. Maybe read a little?
@krassenstein That’s impossible because white people cannot experience racism, remember?
White Servitude in America Ebony Magazine; November, 1969; Lerone Bennett, Jr. “When someone removes the cataracts of whiteness from our eyes, and when we look with unclouded vision on the bloody shadows of the American past, we will recognize for the first time that the Afro-American, who was so often second in freedom, was also second in slavery. Indeed, it will be revealed that the Afro-American was third in slavery. For he inherited his chains, in a manner of speaking, from the pioneer bondsmen, who were red and white. The story of this succession, of how the red bondsman and the white bondsman passed on the torch of forced labor to the black bondsman and of how white men created a system of white servited which lasted in America for more than two hundred years, the story of how this system was created and whi, of how white men and white women and white children were bought and sold like cattle and transported across the seas in foul "slave" ships, the story of how all this happened, of how the white planter reduced white people to temporary and lifetime servitude before stretching out his hands to Ethopia, has never been told before in all its dimensions. As a matter of fact, the traditional embalmers of American experience seem to find white servitude enormously embarassing, and prefer to dwell at length on black bondage in America. But this maneuver distorts both black bondage and the American experience. For white bondage and red bondage are the missing legs on the triangle of American servitude. And this triangle defines the initial American experience as an experiment in compulsion….”
