Yes, I know, but it leads to it becoming a free for all. I think for that reason
it's not on. And let us be honest, the OP meant black people, not African.

Did you not think that maybe the OP made the story up, covering themself, and still generating discussion, a lot of which is quite nasty and negative and untrue?

Not saying it is a made up story, but nobody knows if it's even true.

Well in that case (if it IS the case) then by all means, the mods should intervene (and at the least now be keeping a close eye on this thread).

I got into a taxi once and a cab driver told me how he went to live in London years back in the 70's; he tried to buy a pint in a pub and the bar man pointed to a notice board that had "No Irish, No ****" he was on his way out when this big black fella came over to him and made the bar man serve him, they became friends and the rest is history

I like this story always wondered how blacks and Irish got on in England
back in those days they were in the same league

in my mind its Mr T and some skinny, lanky Irish guy named Ryan Turbidy

I too think the mods should try and second guess the motive behind every thread on boards and sanction any poster who they have a hunch might at one stage have had a thought that contravenes the charter.

Whether they were Irish, African or other, I would not be happy to buy a house next to them if they exhibited anti-social behaviour. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a care in the world.

I dont think that had anything to do with racism if it is the shop i think it is.
They look down on everybody there.

Course i would, if it was a nice house and i had money.


Does remind me of a joke though, slightly racist but does seem to be related.


Irish guy moves into a new house at the same time as his *insert random foreigner(Pakistania/African/Azerbajannnniiiiannnn)* also moves into his identical new house.
They get to talking one day over the fence, and the *Insert random foreigner(Pakistania/African/Azerbajannnniiiiannnn)* says "My house is worth more then your house".
Irish guy can't believe it " How can that be, both houses are identical?!".
*Insert random foreigner(Pakistania/African/Azerbajannnniiiiannnn)* Says "Ah your house is worth less because it is because it is next door to a *Insert random foreigner(Pakistania/African/Azerbajannnniiiiannnn)*!



If that offends, please delete!

There's a black family next to me and they do get a terrible time every now and then. They're originally from Somilia but lived in Chile for a long time. The whole family speaks spanish so i speak to them most days and they are really nice and friendly people. The family to the left of them were trying to sell the house but they had some people tell the estate agent that they weren't interested when they knew a black family lived next door. I couldn't believe people could be so open about that. They get letters sent to their house telling to to move, dog shít put in their garden and had their car sprayed a few times with a Polish word for N1gger. I had that sprayed on my car too and have gotten one or two letters in the past. I'm pretty sure i know who's doing it as there aren't many Polish up here and there's one house that gives some weird looks when i drive by.

I reported it to them after i found out what czarnuch meant. The other family have also reported stuff to them lots of times. There's only 2 houses with Polish people living in them in my estate that i know so it would have been easy to pay them a visit. Myself and Victor pointed out that it's a Polish word and it might be worth questioning the houses we told them had Polish people down the road. But i never seen them visit and they never get back to him or me after any complaints. Not blaming the Polish for all of it but it would be strange for Irish people to use foreign words to express their hate.

Most of the comments are grand - and any of the racist ones are just shown up for the idiocy they are, and the rest of us will get a good laugh off them.

Don't be prejudiced against seemingly racist threads!

Many seemingly racist threads are often hard-working, always staying on the front page (often for many hours in a row while apparently "normal" threads can often be found hanging round page 4 doing nothing after a few hours). Seemingly racist threads are often filled with constructive posts that add to our cultural discourse, and blend in well and get along with indigenous threads.

Threads about them Roma though!!?? Don't get me started! Comin' over here, stealin' our bandwidth...

The question refers to living next door to an African family in Ireland - what might your thick as sh1t point be?

It's intriguing too how you're aware of how things are in "any spot" in Africa. Fair play to you for covering an entire massive continent so thoroughly...

I've growned up in Brooklyn, lived in queens and manhattan as well as in Florida. Some of the most diverse and busy cities in the world. I've moved to Ireland 5 years ago and bought a house in a good quiet estate. Unfortunatell the builder ( irish) decided to keep the house next to mine for RENT. In the 3 years he had managed to let the place to 2 individual drug dealers- both irish. Late night parties,vandalizm, loudness, rows and anything else you can imagine took place. It took many of us ( neighbours)and a long time to get rid of them. Gardai were useless as their hands were tied. NEVER in all my 12 years in the states have I experienced such bad neighbours and I lived next to many nationalities. Sure - I'm positive some people were up to worse things than that - but they always managed to let everyone around them live peacefully.
This thread started about blacks - but the truth is- it does not matter what colour you are- it's about how your parents raised you and what values have you kept.

wtf?

Hold on, so this store on Grafton Street was to your mind racist because of how you felt they had treated you when you shopped there, but yet they had previously hired you???

I think it would be great to be a landlord to an african family.
I'd come around every rent day, bongos ready in hand and say:

"A-o, a-o, today is the day that i need some rent A-o, A-o, give me the rent or your buns are gonnnnnnnnnne..."
