What else would you call a socialist IRA who wanted multiculturalism between ethnic Irish Catholics and ethnic British Protestant Ulster Unionists under Irish Home Rule and fought a war of independence against the British a hundred years ago?

There is no other place in the world that for so long said And they took them, and they integrated and they worked.
America is the most powerful country ever seen in such a short space of time; this wasn't built on slavery. It was built on innovation and freedom. Hollywood, Spacecraft, Engineering, Science, Politics, Finance, Petro-dollar, pharmaceuticals, corporations, agricultural chemicals, nuclear tech, battery tech, Scientific endeavour- USA has been leading all of these fields for such a long time, do you forget from where these fruits came? Very few of these could be argued were 'built on slavery'; that is a farce. Of course it is how these things are used. Nuclear power can save our species but it can also destroy it.
My argument is that USA can only 'accept the poor and the huddled masses' as long as there is social mobility(which there doesn't seem to be anymore- this is what has changed). The ones that were already accepted have long ago fit in.

Man you've really swallowed the American Dream(tm) Kool Aid alright. America's star waxed during and especially after World War Two and stared to wane after the 1970's. It's still up there, but only just, so not so long at all actually. Maybe it seems long to the American mind? Somewhat understandable to be fair. That you can lump so many subjects into the American Dream is also impressive, if dubious. Hell they got spacecraft because the brought in those "huddled masses" of ex card carrying members of the German nazi party. Card carrying ex nazi who used slave labour to build his German wonder weapons Werner Von Braun promoting space in Disney movies is so very "American" too. That you can claim America's lead in politics is comical if it weren't so tragic. One could argue similarly for finance. Agricultural chemicals would be up there too. Though both that and pharmaceuticals were a German thing for longer than they have been an American one and Sweden has had a corporation going since the 13th century. And yet America has and continues to have pretty serious fault lines along the geography of race and it doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. The damned coronavirus showed it up quite well, with more Black and minorities catching and dying from it.

"Ireland is faced with the question whether this generation wills it that she is to march out into the full sunlight of freedom, or is to remain in the shadow of a base imperialism that has brought and ever will bring in its train naught but evil for our race." "Based on our unbroken tradition of nationhood, on a unity in a national name which has never been challenged, on our possession of a distinctive national culture and social order, on the moral courage and dignity of our people in the face of alien aggression.... On these incontrovertible facts is based the claim that our people have beyond question established the right to be accorded all the power of a free nation. No mention of multi culturalism in the whole document, it would be considered populist nationalism now. All it offered was all that should be ever offered, equal rights and equal opportunities. The only common ground the various faction in Sinn Fein and the IRA had was Nationalism. You had some of the most conservative politicians and soldiers in Ireland in the ranks of the republican movement, along with radical left wing types, and the conservatives won power.

Do the Japanese childcare posters have Celtic children in them, or Mexican children? Irish Times / RTE, St. Patrick's Day - African child in photo - I wonder if I go to the national public holiday in Turkey, will the local media have a photograph of a Bolivian child, or a British child? These people seem to want an end to the nation-state, they seem to hate nationalism? If I land into China, am I Chinese? Obviously not. Yet an African who arrives here, is labelled "new-Irish" by RTE/Irish Times.
