White Irish leave, Black Irish stay....may be trouble ahead?

    So the white Irish and other white nationalities leave - Poland is doing well as are many other Eastern EU states. Irish people are gettting the **** out of here. Africans are staying - who wants to go back to Africa?

    Problem is because of this the racial divide is increasing. When, not if, the country defaults on it's debt it will be every man for himself. We may only have African immigrants left in a year's time! But serious problems are coming for them and other immigrants.

    What do you think of the strange dynamic facing us?

    There is no "Racial Divide", a divide exists because of ignorant minds like yourselves.

    In fact, if all the people like YOU left, there'd be no divide at all and myself, my black mate, my orange brother and my purple buddy could all live happily together and not have to listen to your rubbish anymore!

    Aren't you from Belfast, outside this jurisdiction? Of course people from this state have decided that some people from outside the state are welcome to live and work here, be they from Northern Ireland, Britain or the EU. If you are suggesting we shut up shop, and if so, where would you draw the line?

    And we all really hate Jews too, we just don't want to admit it. Your mind-reading skills - I salute them. Oh wait... it's just presumptuous tripe. Any stats for the ratio of whites to blacks leaving?
    Not PC by the way (the accusation of that is also "worn out") - just not kneejerk and getting worked up over something that hasn't happened yet, and may not either. Everything you're saying is based on stuff that just popped into your head - why do you expect a constructive debate?

    Also, you're from Belfast. Why do you think you have the right to speak about immigration policy in a country you don't live in?

    Unless you're from the Republic of Ireland and just live in Belfast..... which means you ARE an immigrant?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 243 ✭✭Tilt Gone


    Sorry but I'm edging towards agreeing with Paky on this one. ireland IS turning into europe's prostitute. We're getting rode by everyone including our very own Government. For those that think there isn't a racial divide starting to happen I wish I believed that. Unfortunately I've seen this starting to grow at an alarming rate in small towns across the country. i travel a lot with work and tend to spend my time in rural bars across the country. Maybe it's a small town thing or just a lack of education but some of the young lads today scare me we are to belive they actually believe some of the bull**** that is coming out of their mouths.

    It's shocking some of the talk I've heard recently relating to our foreign counterparts. i think people are just angry and looking for as many people to blame as they can.

    There is of course going to be a lot of frustration in difficult times that can often find an outlet in the wrong place. But I do not think there is a particularly serious problem in Ireland.
    There aren't regular reports of immigrants being burnt out of their homes (not on this part of the island anyway ;) ), there are no race riots on the streets and there isn't the emergence or growth of any anti-immigration political force. In short, nothing to see here.

    That's them, not the immigrants though. Ireland may be getting rode by its government but who else? There's some extremely misinformed nonsense believed in relation to asylum seekers. I don't believe Ireland should just let in anyone at all long-term (whatever colour/religion they are, whatever language they speak - usually those with unbalanced, unresearched stuff to say in these debates have a problem specifically with those who are non white and/or non English speaking, non western, from a poor/wartorn country, non christian; they seem far less concerned in relation to immigrants who are white, English speaking, from a developed/western country, christian) as it's just not possible - I wouldn't expect to be let into any country I felt like living in either, but Ireland DOESN'T just leave anyone in.
    It's shocking some of the talk I've heard recently relating to our foreign counterparts. i think people are just angry and looking for as many people to blame as they can.
    Well yeah - sometimes the wrong people are blamed though.

    I just want to try and understand your statement a bit better. Are you saying that because white people are emigrating from Ireland and the existing black people who live in Ireland are remaining in Ireland there will be an increases in the differences and tensions (what I assume you mean by racial divide) between the remaining white people in Ireland and the remaining black people in Ireland?

    Why should a decrees in the population of a majority race effect there attitude to a minority race unless you believe that race to be in some way worse than yours. This is the very definition of racism and your attitude is shameful.

    Where do people come up with this sh*te. Things are an aweful lot better in Ireland than people think. It's not a poverty ridden slum yet and not likely to be in the near future.

    Its a blame game really. A lot of people are having a reality wake up.

    There's little or no money in there bank accounts, the banks are at them
    to repay loans.

    We have to blame someone. The "black Irish/nigerians" are well and truly in the system.

    You see them in the jeeps/people carriers, army of kids which if you believe the rumours
    they only have to stay in the country and claim extra benefits, plus get larger houses thru the Health Board.

    We probably will end up like the UK and France with Ghetto's which is a shame.

    Don't know what the answer is, but talking about it is a plus rather than
    ignoring there interaction with our society and intergration from both sides.

    There is an issue with changing ethnicities and national identities that should be discussed without calling racism on the OP.

    I think we are where Britain was after the war and in 20 - 30 years will have a simular ethnic diversification. There are obviously positive and negative aspects to this, depending on your point of view.

    IMHO people are as entitiled to fear a change in national identity as are those who welcome it.

    Im unaware of the OP's previous posting past.

    I've definetely observed some of this attitude among younger people alright, its just a lack of understanding more than anything else. The best way to deal with it is education, and everyone making an effort to reach out to these new arrivals to our country.

    Invite them to dinner, drop round for a cup of tea, make them part of the community, show them that when we say céad míle fáilte we really mean it, and every one of us has their part to play.

    We can go down the marginalisation and ghettoisation route taken by most of Europe and the US, or we can go down the Irish route.
    I usually spend my time thinking about Corr sister sandwiches.
    I believe the Cannibalism dining thread is a bit further along.

    Tackling the supposed facts first, the last time I looked, people who gave their continent of birth as 'Africa' in the census accounted for 1% of the population (about 40,000). I'm guessing a number of those are white South Africans and Zimbabweans or similar. I think the precious white majority can sleep easy for now.

    Second, I'd like to remind our hooded crusaders that it was universally lily-white jack-the-lad fáinne-wearing GAA-supporting Guinness-swilling Irish-born bastards that got us into the present economic catastrophe, and not the handful of people who travelled to this sinking ship in the vain hope of a better life for their families. And more fool them.

    IMO i dont think there will be a divide in races. Yes i can see your point that there could well be more black irish than white. But guess what, the damn key word is IRISH, not black/white. Stop trying to create an issue that doesn't exist for most people.

    My heart bleeds for humanity sometimes. We have seen with shocking regularity this same dark spiral of morass. Things get tough on the socio-economic front and people turn to blaming outsiders and those who are different. There is a drift to the far right which always ends in inhumanity.

    Do we learn? Fúck no, we just do the same shít over and over and over again. Sometimes I'd rather just be an animal - at least I wouldn't be embarassed by my peers.

    Inbreeding might happen in Iceland (fine lookin' folk funnily enough!) but not in a place washed over by Fir bolg, Celt, Norse, Saxon, Norman, Flemish, German, Dane, Lowland Scot, Palatine, Huguenot... you get my drift.

    So we are allowed to hate the Irish - that is cool?

    I don't agree with the OPs point - he is making wild assumptions. There is an annoying PC attitude on boards generally though that views all multiculturalism as cool and welcome, but at the same time despises that which is native to Ireland. Such people usually also have a problem with a nerve in their left knee.
