I had someone on Facebook tell me they supported the rioters because of his Irish ancestry and they were treated the same way.

I was born on St. Patrick's Day, if that qualifies me..
But really, I just like to drank! 🤪
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

whoever told you that BS couldnt name one person hes related to that was treated badly anymore than any of those pavement apes could name a slave related to them.

Well, my last name is Riley but I have no sympathy for the rioters.

Scottish-Irish here and I’m ready to go on a massacre run.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

There is no doubt that the Irish were treated unjustly by the British and the hatred is very deep rooted and is for several reasons that has persisted for many, many years. There are socio-economic reasons including land grabs from Irish families and widespread indentured servitude. Then there were massacres led by Cromwell. Perhaps the chief reasons though are religious reasons, basically Protestant vs. Catholic.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I know what happened to them and the fact that they were particularly vicious in turning on blacks here in America. This guy was saying he didn’t see a problem with the riots and looting because they suffered the same way. Do any Irish on here feel the same way.

I was Irish, 7 or 8 generations ago. Now, I'm just American.

Every ethnic group in this country has been discriminated against at one time or another. Indians being the first.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Irishguy is Irish.

Early Irish were treated as badly as any group to come to the country that weren't slaves. This is correct. The Irish were treated badly by the British and by the people of the United States. The British government pretty much had policies that disenfranchised them and relegated them to second class citizens and in many instances starved them to death, which ultimately led to a mass migration commonly referred to as the Irish Diaspora. While many immigrated to places like Australia, South America, and Canada, most immigrated to the U.S. where they weren't well received in a country mainly populated by Protestant English, Dutch and Germans who were already here in droves. "We were here first and we don't like you kind coming in here and messing everything up." I believe that the Irish historically in the 1800's were treated as bad or worse as any other ethnic group within the United States. The thing that the Irish had that other ethnic groups lacked was their physical appearance. Where is it is pretty easy for most people to look at someone who is Black, Latino, Asian, Indian, or Middle Eastern and instantly make a judgement on physical appearance, the Irish were eventually able to blend in and in most cases people now a days don't even recognize an Irish surname. That said, being part Irish, I have never faced any prejudice that I thought worthy of making an exception to. I think that some folks just go around looking for it everywhere. Violence is one of those things that I was always taught should only be used as a last resort after all other options have been exhausted. I believe folks like Martin Luther King and Gandhi, both men who had to face real racism on a grand scale, also believed that mass violence was not the answer.
