    I'm watching the athletics on the tellybox and I'm seeing black people from France, Britain, Sweden and Germany winning loads of events.

    Do we need more black folks if we want some medals?

    Yeah, but we always come first in "whitey dancing!" So be thankful for that. :rolleyes:

    Technically speaking this is a very racist thread, in regards the original definition of the term racist; different inherent traits between the races pertaining to genetics rather than socio/cultural influences.

    Yes, we need better racists so that we can win more races.

    It's also quite racist in the modern sense vis a vis using a particular race as livestock for breeding.

    But Ireland are the blacks of europe.....

    No black person would excel in sports in Ireland. The system is all wrong here. Most of our school teachers are women now so the teacher who spotted the talented kids in the class doesn't exist anymore.

    No. Nationality is nothing to do with heritage.

    A black person in Ireland would excel no more than a white person. Often successful athletes in running are successful because they are brought up under a completely different environment, where they are not only running for accolades, but rather - running to feed their family. You could never compare the two.

    Along with the "grumpiest poor little darling" gold.

    So what? It's true. Ireland is the worst place for young people to live if they want to do well in sports. The feminisation of the education system has to take some blame for this.

    So much incorrect about this it's hard to know where to start.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 363 ✭✭FishBowel


    Not as much as they are doing now. 24% increase in women school techers since 2006. Kiss goodbye any hopes of Olympics medals in 2016 and 2020.

    It's just a pity there isn't more male primary/art/language teachers and more female sports/PE/computer/maths teachers.

    I know loads of arty, etc. blokes and sporty, etc. wimmins, they just don't seem to head towards teaching when they have such topical predilictions.

    That's the Fine Fáil TDs getting a big road built to their underpopulated town.

    OP...why use a suggestive racist thread title that has nothing got to do with your actual post???

    Are you trying to purposly chase another agenda with this method of posting??

    Why not post "do we need faster/better athletes" instead??

    They could be, due to horny irresponsible people getting around the country quicker.:D

    Is 'black' a race?

    What?

    You can add my name there too Chuck. You might think starting 'tounge in cheek' threads about racial stereotypes is witty but in reality it just makes you a racist arséhole.

    The numbers of blacks in Ireland are increasing anyway.

    The numbers increased substancially in the 2011 census from 2006 (like 44k to 65k), in just 5 years, along with indians making us multicultural. :)

    Blacks won't excel at sport in Ireland but we could train them to be the best fans in the world.

    I'm a racist arsehole for what exactly?

    Because I said 'black'?

    OMFG I think you might actually be the poster child for 'PC gone mad'!

    Well done. Gold medal for you son.

    Irish people can be black people too, y'know.

    Ireland needs to be more multicultural. Its well behind other western countries. Do it right, got a skill, good long term job offer, high education then come on in.

    Ok then. Indigenous Irish people.

    We went from having a 1% foreign born population to a 17% foreign born population in a decade. No other western country, post WW2, has experienced such a dramatic shift in their demographics.

    Any chance we actually get a say in this at all, at all, at all?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone

    Yes KEITHAFC. Even a person who lives on the island of Ireland who considers himself not Irish can have a say.

    Why does it need to be more multicultural? Stop trying to change the cultural and ethnic surroundings of the native people who love the soil they live on and don't want it to change.

    It is the a version of politically correct ethnic cleansing of the local population.
