America’s largest Irish group, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, has slammed black MSNBC host Joy Reid for what they say were her racist comments about Irish Americans.
Reid wrote on Twitter: “Kelly grew up in segregated Boston, in an Irish Catholic neighborhood where women were bullied, not honored, and blacks scorned & rejected.”
Reid made the comments about the Boston Irish after Boston native and White House Chief of Staff General John Kelly had criticized African American congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson […]
Neil Cosgrave, the chairman of the AOH anti-defamation committee, slammed Reid and MSNBC saying, “It is hard to imagine that the scurrilous generalization of ‘Irish Catholic neighborhood(s)where women were bullied, not honored’ would not draw the outrage of MSNBC if the subject was any other than Irish Catholics and the commentator other than MSNBC’s own Joy Reid. We note with grim irony that in years past the Hibernians have drawn to the attention of MSNBC multiple instances of unambiguous bigotry for which no reference to a dictionary is required, merchandise with phrases such as ‘Everyone Loves a Drunk Irish Slut.’” …

Good for them. That was a vicious stereotype and she needed to be called on it. PC works all ways, the tool you fashion can be used against you.
No one bullied my mother. All Irish home.
I dare say the women, men & children of the Earth fare better living among the Children of Ireland than the Children of the Congo or of Guyana (where Joy’s parents came from).
Typical mickies, always gettin’ drunk and fightin’ with the blacks and when they get done fightin’ with the blacks they’ll turn to fightin’ with themselves!
Affirmative-action Harvard student becomes affirmative-action media personality. Is there any surprise she is a race-baiting moron?
Wilson had played a significant role reinforcing the claims made by Obama during the Zimmerman episode that for political purposes Trayvon Martin was a victim killed in cold blood. Which resulted in assaults on non whites found wandering through “hoods” by members of black gangs in various areas of the US. Many of these attacks ended in serious lifetime injuries or deaths.
As these continued because they created civil disorder they should have been denounced by both but insteaxd were met with silence.

Should be a lot more Trayvon Martins.

Gee, thats a tough one. Let’s see, where would I rather live...Dublin or Mogadishu?

Note to Joy: “Twinkle, twinkle, little star. What you say is what you are.”
But “Joy” said it, so you must be wrong. /s
It will get away with it, due to its protective pigmentation.
Ah, isn’t Lawrence O’Donnell from the same area?
Irish women bullied? Joy Reid never met the women of my family.
How can she "profile" Irish people like this? This is so discrimintory and racist.
That’s what I’m thinking.
Don’t you love it when Dem victim groups turn on each other? (AOH supports Sinn Fein.)
Has Trump now been bitten by the Black Widow???
sue the pants off MSNBC
