For What Died The Sons Of Roisin (With Music)

being irish is not decided by skin colour? not even by what passport u hold. it is decided by what is in your heart. right wing scare mongering. A WORD TO THE NEW IRISH RACIST!

IRISH QUEING FOR 7YRS LOSE OUT TO IMMIGRANTS

From Nov 09 to March 2010, out of 19 council houses, allocated by Tralee council 11 went to immigrants. Many Irish people are on the housing waiting list, some waiting for 7yrs, and the houses are going to foreigners.

This at a time when Irish children in care are being moved around in different care homes and B&B's. Some of these kids have been abused and committed suicide - they would greatly benefit from a secure council house.

irish slavery began when James II sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves. Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white. From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Irelands population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000. slavery made a far bigger footprint in irish demographics than it did in africa, yet we never hear about it

our history is marred by invasions and plantations, no matter what the odds or how impossible the fight we always resisted. over a thousand years of struggles, millions of our men died in the service of foreign powers defending the freedoms of others when our own were trampled. yet we always stepped up at need. now after only a few corrupt generations we will hand over those priviledges our forebears suffered for without a drop of blood? i think not! there will be war, fuck with us at your peril

@lucasleivia

How do you know your irish!!! after all who invaded Ireland is their a true irish man left in Ireland!!!!!

[lucasleivia]

@sinnfeinmurderers

there is a fundamental difference; most of these immigrants are non-white whilst our white genes are recessive. so instead of us assimilating them into our culture, in time they will assimilate us instead. looking at people in the carribean you would never guess that just a few hundred years ago their forefathers were majority white! but today they are just as black as africans, thats the future of our countries, time to forget about the old enemies and unite

[sinnfeinmurderers]

@lucasleivia Very well said indeed..........

@sinnfeinmurderers

Yet DNA tests reveal the 85% of the Irish population is homogenous dating back to the first indigenous inhabitants of this island. The homogenaity decreases the further eastward one goes, including britain. So the real question is how do know you are british, you are more European than we are non-Irish. In any case one thing is for sure - we all know we are all white europeans

[coirpeach1]

@waaeaa Im not European im fucking Irish..We share the same DNA as the Basques.....

[waaeaa]

Brits out, Irish out, Foreigners in....
