@2coinlove2 well maybe they did. but atleast they didnt invent concertration camps (see the Boer war). or sweep through places like tasmania wiping out every man woman and child by throwing them off cliffs. lets face the british empire was the most evil empire the world has ever seen. if you know anything about history you will know that the nazis were trying to emulate the british empire. they tried their best. but they were not in the same league as you butchers.
mccannaway yes they did fight for britain good on them,but as for you ira loving scum your war (what a laugh)did,nt stop you bombed the uk in ww2 all nationalities went over the top at the somme not just the irish,they had more courage than you pricks its a disgrace that you call yourselves irish you countryless morons.when are the ira going to help gadaffi ????gutless.god save the queen
you orish bombed our cities in ww2 while we were fighting the nazis .look at hitlers plans for ulster and eire if he won you would be slaves to a different master,ulster will always be british...
@salian66 here if you acctully had your history rite wee were in cival war when ww2 started and wee stoped our war to go and fight for you's british bastards...and in world ww1 yous sent all of the irsih over the top at the somme to die so fuckin get it rite before ya start ya wee wanker.....Óglaigh na hÉireann wee did bomb yous in the 70's 80's 90's but ya fuck ya's wee would do it again
@malarky321 no the scots and welsh in their native lands, you might not realize that there were so many "safe houses" for the provos on both sides in those two countries that the ira would have been very foolish to strike there. Also the seat of UK power was in the south east of England many miles away from the lands of the gaelic scot and celtic welsh.
@salian66 you got any evidence there son to back up your blantant lies? please provide evidence of the IRA bombing english cities during ww2. you need to read a history book sweet cheeks - that is if you can actually read.
@2coinlove2 Oh, you are so clever saying that. Did you think that was an original idea like a million people haven't heard that already. It's actually not for you to decide what people call themselves. If Americans want to refer to themselves as Irish than let them because there are plenty of people that recognize that Irish Americans share the same DNA as those in Ireland and even look like them. American is a nationality not an ethnic background, there is a difference.....dumb ass.
@2coinlove2 What a fucking hypocrite you are. You accuse the Irish of helping the Nazis during the war, yet you support the BNP and the Nazis in the present day. The only U-boats docked in Irish waters where in Derry, they were actually captured and they were held there to be blown up in the North Atlantic. You forget that the North was in British hands and they had British fortifications to hold off Nazi attacks in Ireland. Fucking Orange bastard, do your research and learn Irish history.
@puppyshade It was a phenomenal experience. The people were as warm and welcoming as anywhere I've been. I saw where my Grandfather's family came from in Derry (then to the US by way of Donegal). Loved every minute, and can't wait to return. While there I helped out with a Habitat for Humanity build and it was one of the best I've done. Again, the people were just amazing, the music and the company in the pubs at night and the beauty of the country. Thanks for letting me remember! Cheers!
i read that your heritage is Irish and Italian!! I thik it's great that you have pride in your roots, hope you are as proud to be italian as you are of being irish
I never understood the whole Irish American craze. Everybody always says their x% Irish.
I have Irish citizenship and a passport (mother is from Ireland) but I have lived in the US all my life. When people ask me "what" I am I say 100% American, damnit. You are the country you live in. I have been to Ireland a bunch and let me tell you, America is 100x better than that little island. Despite her accent, my mother will tell anyone she is American, not Irish. It's called pride in your country.
mate im from northern ireland i lost my dad in the troubles and that peom is a gd peom and any1 how thinks differnt needs a fuckin gd hidding... your prob the only american that knows wat he is takin about when it comes to the troubles keep it up.....
@danblagger You don't know much about much "old chap." Again, you obviously did not listen to the poem. You people love to just blast Americans who identify with their roots. Frankly, it's boring. You want to waste your energy hating people you don't know? Go ahead. I'll keep creating. God bless.
I do know one thing about americans of irish descent, they are arrogant gobshites who should be more concerned with their own country than making half arse statements about what goes on elsewhere.the fact that your "history" dates back a mere few hundred years does not give you the right to clamp onto anyone elses like a fucking leech.
As for being a fraud...ffs how can someone born and bred in the country you love so much be a fraud? That particular distinction im afraid is all yours.
my god...this shite is stil here!!....i cant be accussed of knee jerk feed back as i've seen this too much and just keep wishing it would go away.
It still a typical romanticised american view of what was going on in Ireland by a man who really wishes he was there to fight for the "cause" but would never heve the stones to do anything. Like most yanks who love to flap their gums.
they'll empty their wallet but not pull the trigger.
@malarky321 You are a jackass and a fraud. If this bothers you so much, why do you watch it so often? Do you really think an anonymous blatherskite from across the pond is going to bully me into taking a video down? Because my feelings were so hurt? If you read the feedback, you'll see you are in the minority, sir, so go home, sit in the corner, and read quietly. You know nothing of America, let alone Americans of Irish descent.
@scamon01 Ignore that Malarky321 from the N of Ireland ,hes a bigot who thinks he's British. lol. They always spew shit about Americans, and ridicule Irish American history. As if we are not allowed to appreciate our history and ancestry. He just had a rant on one of my vids. He looks for Irish Americans to harass. lol. I blocked him.
@WolfArden44 - I say if Malarky321 want's to run us Irish-American's down let him, we all know that us Irish-American's have more pride and respect for our history and ancestry, something thay don't have. I hope one day I can go visit Ireland to see where my family came from which is eather Cork or Kilkenny since my family history point to both places in Ireland. Don't let the British People bother ya, there just asses that need to go back to the UK and stay there, damn basterds.
That's right! We are Irish in america too!!!! Irish Americans DO exist regardless of what anyone says!!! My great grandmother is from dublin! Not my great great great....but just ONE great! And she is still alive today! And she is ahamed of people from Ireland that talk badly about Irish Americans! We are the people that made to the free land! So, don't hate us! Embrace us as your brothers from across the seas!
@3sheetz2thawind I think a lot of the dislike comes from the perception that Americans who have Irish blood are descended from Famine immigrants. Like you, my greatgrandmother was born and raised in Ireland. She was actually right there when the Free State was declared. And, her brother fought in the Easter Rebellion. He was arrested and imprisoned in Mountjoy where he later escaped and fled to America. In any case, I'll always remain very fond of and have a very deep affection for the Irish.
@TenderTrap86, right! Thats all im saying! I know one thing, i am Irish! So, im sick of it! Everyone else in America is alowed to claim their heritage! But, when Irish people do, they are talked bad about! Its bullshit!!! People in other countries respect their brothers and sisters in America! Why dont the Irish??!!!! We are Irish!!! I am sick and tired of arguing about this with people!!!
@3sheetz2thawind In defense of the Irish opinion, I really hate Americans who have little if any Irish heritage who know nothing of Irish history/culture and put shamrocks on their faces on St. Patrick's Day, go out to get drunk, yelling that they're Irish. I think this is what really pisses them off. I even get embarassed. Because of the plastic paddy mentality in America, while I am an American, on St. Patrick's Day I never wear green. When people ask why, I say I'm Irish everyday of the year.
@TenderTrap86, i completely agree! I didn't wear green last St. Patrick's Day. All i am saying is, aside from the ones in America that make our people look bad....we have a lot to be proud of!
@3sheetz2thawind You're damn skippy! I not only love Irish history, but the history of the Irish in America. It's a little known fact that at one point in the 19th Century, there were more Irish born people living in America than there were in Ireland. The Molly Maguires, the Draft Riots, the Civil War Irish brigades, the St. Patrick's Battalion, who stuck to their principles, the ones who built the railroads, skyscrapers and bridges. The Irish are vital to American history, like it or not.
@3sheetz2thawind Let me ask you something.... where do the rest of your Great Grandparents come from? or don't you care- just so long as one is "Irish" ?
Yer a wee spoofer. Theres more Irish blood in my little finger than you have in your body. You should be proud to be American, you are NOT Irish....just move on....
@captaintoad I don't know how you can have more Irish blood in your finger...when i'm full blooded Irish, retard! Whatever...stop acting like you know people that you don't! You don't know me! So, fuck off! Bitch ass troll!
im irish american and proud and anybody that doesnt like that fact can kiss my ass... i think where they become offended is when we speak about irish politics thats pisses people off that live in ireland.... but ya you cant take the irish out of me..... thats where my family is from so its in my blood....
im irish american and proud and anybody that doesnt like that fact can kiss my ass... i think where they become offended is when we speak about irish politics thats pisses people off that live in ireland.... but ya you cant take the irish out of me..... thats where my family is from so its in my blood....
you know it sounds lik a very gentle rap song..you should put on an irish accent.. oh wait no you shouldnt because you would probably put on that stereotypical accent alot of americans think we in.. just saying
sas001...you have no chance of getting it through this guys head that the wind up is part of being irish north or south.....trust me im one of those he has no patience with.....i have tried.
But at the end of the day...despite his claims he wears the green tinted glasses that Ireland is populated with people in tweed,smoking pipes,drinking guiness and carrying blackthorns......apart from when the have guns that is ..to beat of the English an prods...
@HANNA27H Thanks for favoriting the video! Don't forget to subscribe as well! And thanks for typing in that authentic stereotyped brogue. Outstanding!
It's perfectly all right to be proud of your roots. Thank god though you don't claim to be Irish like so many in America do even if the last Irish person in there family was 100 years ago but like I said you should be proud and remember your ancestors
i know about irish people, being from there(and not 15 gens removed)....and im flattered that you think you know all about us by your visits...bit like a pope you eh.
take the piss.....
Well scamon01 if theres italian in you go annoy them for a change
ok then the city i live has a huge irish background from the famine but i have never heard the term Preston-irish. The city even has an irish catholic coat of arms aswell.
hypothetical question,,,,,,,if santa,the easter bunny,an irish american and stephen hawkins where at the points of a cross roads and there was a pot of gold in the centre ......who'd get it,,,,,,,,,,hawkins cus the rest or figments of yer imagination
sam778395 no one makes comments about Irish -Newfoundlanders or any of the others you mentioned simply because they dont bang on about some seemingly mythical idea they have that their opinion actually means something...Only Irish Americans seem to have this fault where they need to comment on shite that has fuck all to do with them....and something that if they had have kept their opinionated and ignorant voices out of would have ended a lot sooner.
MA has many Irish people, just depends where you go. South Boston, Worcester, Clinton, to name afew places I know off the top of my head with many Irish Americans. When I say this I mean they are the majority of Euro-Americans in these places. You go to some towns there isnt any or very few, Milford for example has mostly Italian Americans, almost every business is owned by some Italian American, kinda of funny we make the maia jokes when we see that. They dont like it though.
Dixie, I just like their idea of seperatism, something you wont ever understand. I think New England shoul break away from the 'Union' but thats just my view point. New England is the oldest part of America, besides some areas of the South. Florida? Goodl uck with that. You like humidity, go for it. I hate it down there, but thats because Im use to cold weather. The people down there are much nicer though, MA more 'assholes' they do call us Massholes, Im not proud of that though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There is no such thing as Irish Americans!! you are just American with a distant relative from Ireland. I am from Ireland and am proud of that fact. Get your own heritage and try and be proud of that for once.
he isnt Irish either, he is from the North, with a British Citizenship, nothing wrong with being British, I have no hate for them, maybe just the pain in the ass Ulster people who harass me on youtube.
@scamon01 Lighten up my friend!! id you knew anything about Irish people you would know we love to wind people up!! Just look at some of the coments below!!
@sas001 I do know quite a bit about Irish people, having visited Ireland & Northern Ireland and having relatives on both sides of the pond. If my response displayed a lack of patience for what I see as unwarranted criticism of my pride in my heritage, it is precisely because of the comments below. I am quite aware (and proud) that I am American. But my family roots spring mainly from Ireland and Italy. My history is the well of my life's blood, and to know it is to know myself.
judging by the Name your from the North, Ulster more than likely. I dont understand what pisses you lot so much off when someone from 'America' speaks of their heritage. You people over there claim how much irish you are, yet many of you have no patriotism. You claim you are Irish yet you have British citizenship, your as plastic as any of us. I dont give a damn what you say. I bet its just a hate for us Americans, I bet you have more respect for Aussies and Canadians.
@seamuspowers - firstly you say that judging by my name I must be from the North?? My name on here is my initials. You then say Ulster more than likely. If you knew anything about Ireland like you claim you do you would know that Ulster is made up of 9 counties 3 of which are in Eire!! And I actually have dual citizenship as is the birthright of everyone fron Northern Ireland. You really haven't a clue what you are talking about. Sort your own country out before criticising others. Idiot
@sam778395 we only call ourselves Irish because that is exactly what we are. We were born on the island of Ireland therefore we are Irish. It's not rocket science. Just like you are American because you were born in American. Where exactly have I said that I hate anything about Ireland??
I never once said Irish-Americans don't exist or did I say I was of any unionist tradition. What I am saying and I speak on behalf of a large number of Irish citizens is that if you are born in America then you are American. You may have Irish heritage bit in no way are you Irish. All we ever see of Irish-Americans is the usual patronising Irish stereotyping and hypocracy that is recognised around the world. This holds our country back. We are sick of it, this is in the press over here everyday
England, Ireland, Germany, France, most of Europe contributed to America in some way. There should be a connection to Europe and America. Its when we are attacked for making videos like this guy made or some other person in regards to their ancesteral pride, we are told we arent worthy of waving that flag or even mentioning what we are without being called a lowly American. I am from New England, my English ancestors did alot for America, as did my irish ancestors.
I dont know about that, many people here dont really give a shit. But when asked about their origins, they will tell you. I see more scottish Americans who are proud of their heritage and see many of em walking around with their clan emblems. Do the Irish still have that? I think they do, but I hear you need many ancestors who are from the same clan to be considered apart of it. I heard this awhiile ago, could be bullshit for all I know.
you obviously dont have anything better to do either, your commenting after my comments. If they upset you, ignore them. I guess that makes two of us!!
The Puritans came to Ne England and established America with their idea fo democracy. Anyone that disagrees with that can go fuck themselves and knwos nothing of American history and its earlier days. His ideas lived on with the bansihed Puritans, looking to make a better world for the future, one where the French Monarchy didnt rule over them. Anyway I guess I view New England as the birth place of America.
funny go to Dixie, thats were your Ulster supporters are hahah. I tend to think as Dixie as scottish, seeing the flag resembles st. andrews flag just different colors. New Englander pride!
Hella good man. That's was inspiration for hope of peace and brotherly love among all men, using Ireland as a catalyst, and if people don't get it, they should be pitied. Beautifully written.
right on; keep on doing what you do,.. dont let the hatters get you brother, for in their seeking they forsake what it is that would make them for themselves contented AND happy.
Well, first, I am that idiot. And, if you listened to the poem, then maybe you'd discern the purpose. If not, oh well, it's not for you. As for your videos - you have no videos posted. So I will diss your lack of videos. If you can't be bothered to create, hold your tongue at my creation. You have no credibility here. Merry Christmas.
i wasnt talkn about "videos" i uploaded, it was uploaded by someone else but i happen to b in that video & couldnt help but notice u called us all idiots!! :S
Also.. i have a life.. i dont have to video it for YouTube :P
A) When did I call anyone idiots? You are anonymously posting about a video you are in on another anonymous user's account. Maybe a link so I know what you're referring to?
B) You don't video your life for YouTube, except for that video you're in. On YouTube.
C) I have a wonderfully rich and complicated life. It's the source of my art. I post to get intelligent feedback so I can grow and improve. Your comments demean the process, and we are all a little worse off because of them. So thanks.
That was a really beautiful and touching poem. As someone from Belfast, the truth in the words of your poem are only too clear to me. It's a pity that everyone here does not agree with the message of your wonderful poem. You have great talent. Please write more.
Hey man, what a great poem. I was born and grew up in Donegal, moved to Denmark in 1973, but am still 100% Irish. I havent lost my accent, even though I speak Danish daily. They have a saying in Ireland "you take the man out of the bog, but you cant take the bog out of the man". you got a talent. Use it.
is there something wrong with an Irish international diaspora claiming kinship?
might it not act in a similar fashion to other cultures that use their heritage to connect for the benefit of all? Is 100% bloodline irish heritage the only means of admittance to the Irish club? How many generations back are required for proof?
REAL Irish-Americans are a dying breed. Im not talking about any ole yankee who just so happens to have Irish blood. I'm talking about the clannish, old-fashioned Irish Catholic Americans who never left their original ethnic enclaves such as South Boston, the Woodlawn section of the Bronx, Woodside Queens, NYC.
Due to white flight from major cities in the 60s, the majority of those Irish left for the suburbs and became generic white Americans. Not to say theres anything wrong with that.
I would agree, but don't forget the small towns, coal mining towns, etc. Some originally settled there as well. That's where I'm from - the Doherty's from the Scranton, PA area. Archbald, PA is as Irish-American a town as there still is. My mom's whole family is there, and it's like you say - clannish, family-centered, old-fashioned, blue collar, Irish Catholics.
So true...great comment....I'm from Philadelphia and there are small pockets still here of old irish neighborhoods but its true..they are dying off slowly
Penn state is mostly all German, Irish live in Southern New York [around Albany, New York City] and Massachusetts. Thats irish turf. Im sure some irish americans live nere you but that area didnt see many waves of them settled there.
PA mostly all German??The State of Pa has the third largest Irish American population in the country..Philadelphia by itself has a Irish population of 180,000 people...You're wrong
In fairness i think america has helped us try and regain peace in the north. I think thats great. But i was in new york 3 years ago and i was in an irish pub and there was a group of irish americans standing there praising the IRA and sinn fein saying shit like fuk the brits and tiochfaidh ar la. And assumed because im irish and catholic that i hate english ppl. I hate d way sum irish americans talk about shit they know nothing about.
Thank you, and thank you for saying "some". I agree with you. I don't like the way alot of people talk about shit they know nothing about. Thanks for your feedback!
the irish americans only talk about tat cause they are right .... the british are a bunch of bastards for what they did to us .... i dont hate all briths ... but i hope the goverment falls on its kness and crumbles .. did u no their is more british forces in the north now than ever before .. that why the ira is attackin again
As an American of Scots Irish decent ( many generations removed from the auld sod) I found your poem had a great message. As to the Irish hating Americans that hasn't been my experience while travaling in Ireland the last few years. The Celtic Toger reliys on American tourism so they hate mongers are the minority
wow this is a real irish poem brothers and sisters we all stick together no matter wat. aww here samluke8121 he aint no plastic paddy he knows his shit a plastic paddy is one that say their irish just for the sake of it. Yeah buddy i like ur poem
Im Irish and catholic and the Catholic Irish Person is not British He will always be full IRISH MAN

@malarky321 You are a jackass and a fraud. If this bothers you so much, why do you watch it so often? Do you really think an anonymous blatherskite from across the pond is going to bully me into taking a video down? Because my feelings were so hurt? If you read the feedback, you'll see you are in the minority, sir, so go home, sit in the corner, and read quietly. You know nothing of America, let alone Americans of Irish descent.

@scamon01 Ignore that Malarky321 from the N of Ireland ,hes a bigot who thinks he's British. lol. They always spew shit about Americans, and ridicule Irish American history. As if we are not allowed to appreciate our history and ancestry. He just had a rant on one of my vids. He looks for Irish Americans to harass. lol. I blocked him.
WolfArden44 1 year ago 2
@WolfArden44 - I say if Malarky321 want's to run us Irish-American's down let him, we all know that us Irish-American's have more pride and respect for our history and ancestry, something thay don't have. I hope one day I can go visit Ireland to see where my family came from which is eather Cork or Kilkenny since my family history point to both places in Ireland. Don't let the British People bother ya, there just asses that need to go back to the UK and stay there, damn basterds.

That's right! We are Irish in america too!!!! Irish Americans DO exist regardless of what anyone says!!! My great grandmother is from dublin! Not my great great great....but just ONE great! And she is still alive today! And she is ahamed of people from Ireland that talk badly about Irish Americans! We are the people that made to the free land! So, don't hate us! Embrace us as your brothers from across the seas!
3sheetz2thawind 1 year ago
@3sheetz2thawind I think a lot of the dislike comes from the perception that Americans who have Irish blood are descended from Famine immigrants. Like you, my greatgrandmother was born and raised in Ireland. She was actually right there when the Free State was declared. And, her brother fought in the Easter Rebellion. He was arrested and imprisoned in Mountjoy where he later escaped and fled to America. In any case, I'll always remain very fond of and have a very deep affection for the Irish.

@TenderTrap86, right! Thats all im saying! I know one thing, i am Irish! So, im sick of it! Everyone else in America is alowed to claim their heritage! But, when Irish people do, they are talked bad about! Its bullshit!!! People in other countries respect their brothers and sisters in America! Why dont the Irish??!!!! We are Irish!!! I am sick and tired of arguing about this with people!!!

@3sheetz2thawind In defense of the Irish opinion, I really hate Americans who have little if any Irish heritage who know nothing of Irish history/culture and put shamrocks on their faces on St. Patrick's Day, go out to get drunk, yelling that they're Irish. I think this is what really pisses them off. I even get embarassed. Because of the plastic paddy mentality in America, while I am an American, on St. Patrick's Day I never wear green. When people ask why, I say I'm Irish everyday of the year.
TenderTrap86 1 year ago
@TenderTrap86, i completely agree! I didn't wear green last St. Patrick's Day. All i am saying is, aside from the ones in America that make our people look bad....we have a lot to be proud of!
3sheetz2thawind 1 year ago
@3sheetz2thawind You're damn skippy! I not only love Irish history, but the history of the Irish in America. It's a little known fact that at one point in the 19th Century, there were more Irish born people living in America than there were in Ireland. The Molly Maguires, the Draft Riots, the Civil War Irish brigades, the St. Patrick's Battalion, who stuck to their principles, the ones who built the railroads, skyscrapers and bridges. The Irish are vital to American history, like it or not.

MA has many Irish people, just depends where you go. South Boston, Worcester, Clinton, to name afew places I know off the top of my head with many Irish Americans. When I say this I mean they are the majority of Euro-Americans in these places. You go to some towns there isnt any or very few, Milford for example has mostly Italian Americans, almost every business is owned by some Italian American, kinda of funny we make the maia jokes when we see that. They dont like it though.

Dixie, I just like their idea of seperatism, something you wont ever understand. I think New England shoul break away from the 'Union' but thats just my view point. New England is the oldest part of America, besides some areas of the South. Florida? Goodl uck with that. You like humidity, go for it. I hate it down there, but thats because Im use to cold weather. The people down there are much nicer though, MA more 'assholes' they do call us Massholes, Im not proud of that though.

@sas001 I do know quite a bit about Irish people, having visited Ireland & Northern Ireland and having relatives on both sides of the pond. If my response displayed a lack of patience for what I see as unwarranted criticism of my pride in my heritage, it is precisely because of the comments below. I am quite aware (and proud) that I am American. But my family roots spring mainly from Ireland and Italy. My history is the well of my life's blood, and to know it is to know myself.

I dont give a damn what you say. I bet its just a hate for us Americans, I bet you have more respect for Aussies and Canadians.

@seamuspowers - firstly you say that judging by my name I must be from the North?? My name on here is my initials. You then say Ulster more than likely. If you knew anything about Ireland like you claim you do you would know that Ulster is made up of 9 counties 3 of which are in Eire!! And I actually have dual citizenship as is the birthright of everyone fron Northern Ireland. You really haven't a clue what you are talking about. Sort your own country out before criticising others.

I never once said Irish-Americans don't exist or did I say I was of any unionist tradition. What I am saying and I speak on behalf of a large number of Irish citizens is that if you are born in America then you are American. You may have Irish heritage bit in no way are you Irish. All we ever see of Irish-Americans is the usual patronising Irish stereotyping and hypocracy that is recognised around the world. This holds our country back. We are sick of it, this is in the press over here everyday

England, Ireland, Germany, France, most of Europe contributed to America in some way. There should be a connection to Europe and America. Its when we are attacked for making videos like this guy made or some other person in regards to their ancesteral pride, we are told we arent worthy of waving that flag or even mentioning what we are without being called a lowly American. I am from New England, my English ancestors did alot for America, as did my irish ancestors.

I dont know about that, many people here dont really give a shit. But when asked about their origins, they will tell you.

I think they do, but I hear you need many ancestors who are from the same clan to be considered apart of it. I heard this awhiile ago, could be bullshit for all I know.

The Puritans came to Ne England and established America with their idea fo democracy. Anyone that disagrees with that can go fuck themselves and knwos nothing of American history and its earlier days. His ideas lived on with the bansihed Puritans, looking to make a better world for the future, one where the French Monarchy didnt rule over them. Anyway I guess I view New England as the birth place of America.

REAL Irish-Americans are a dying breed. Im not talking about any ole yankee who just so happens to have Irish blood. I'm talking about the clannish, old-fashioned Irish Catholic Americans who never left their original ethnic enclaves such as South Boston, the Woodlawn section of the Bronx, Woodside Queens, NYC.
Due to white flight from major cities in the 60s, the majority of those Irish left for the suburbs and became generic white Americans. Not to say theres anything wrong with that.

I would agree, but don't forget the small towns, coal mining towns, etc. Some originally settled there as well. That's where I'm from - the Doherty's from the Scranton, PA area. Archbald, PA is as Irish-American a town as there still is. My mom's whole family is there, and it's like you say - clannish, family-centered, old-fashioned, blue collar, Irish Catholics.
