Yes it does!D

[M Kehoe]

What if a white Irish guy married a black woman from Africa?

Is the white Irish guy a racist?

Or

Is the black African woman racist?

For an Englishwoman like Starmer to call the Irish racists is pretty mild stuff.

The English name-calling of the Irish is usually marked with profanity.

I’m fourth generation Anglo-American and I grew up hearing the Irish routinely called much worse.

Is it possible for it to happen? Or does he have the backing of the majority of the house of Commons or whatever it’s called.

[Eleutheria5]

I don’t know, really, being neither black nor Irish. But historically, in America, blacks and Irish have not gotten along well. I guess their kids would be the Black Irish.

[Charles Martel]

That name. Straight out of the 3rd Reich.

Yep, or the days just before then. Starmer needs a more fitting job title. Chancellor, perhaps.

[Rummyfan]

Possible sure. I cannot believe his support will last for long when he keeps attacking British subjects.

[PLMerite]

I’m still trying to figure out why the I🍀R🍀A🍀 haven’t gotten involved yet.

[Eleutheria5]

The members’ sciatica is acting up.

Bait-and-Switch headline.

The Northern Irish aren't "the Irish."

Plenty of Northern Irish fought against Hitler.

"The Irish" would rather have seen Hitler exterminate the Jews than put aside their differences with the English and join in the war against Hitlerism.

"The Irish" would rather have seen Hitler exterminate the Jews than put aside their differences with the English and join in the war against Hitlerism.

Which is just about the same as asking the Jews to team up with the Germans to fight against the USSR.

Not wanting to get swallowed up by alien cutures doesn’t make you a racist.

The lessons of history. A line in the Irish song "The Winds are Singing Freedom" says "foreign rulers used our land for about eight hundred years". They remember.

"The Irish" would rather have seen Hitler exterminate the Jews than put aside their differences with the English and join in the war against Hitlerism.

It had little to do with the Jews and much to do with the Brits. And it was well into the war when knowledge of the "final solution" became widespread.
