Don't attempt to insult those who fact check your bogus statements as being "very bored".

If it were a Muslim running down a Christian family it would be headline news around the world with all sorts of Facebook flag profiles. No threads on this. All we get is racism passing as multicultural debate or concern. That's my view of multicultural debate, rife with bigots looking for a platform on the 'new Irish' and so on.

No, that's just standard for Coppinger Pretty much every utterance from her on important issues is a brain fart.

THE MINISTER FOR Children and Equality questioned the Garda Commissioner today on what the force is doing to improve relationships between gardaí and black and mixed race people in Dublin. Minister Roderic O’Gorman and Commissioner Drew Harris met today to discuss how An Garda Síochána is engaging with communities in Dublin 15 following the garda shooting of Geoge Nkencho last December.Harris told the Equality Minister that work is underway to improve diversity and anti-bias training programmes for gardaí and to develop more positive relationships between gardaí and ethnic minority communities. The minister said that they “discussed a number of issues relating to community policing, including the steps being taken by the Commissioner to ensure that respect for diversity is at the heart of day-to-day policing in all our communities”.“Following the tragic death of George Nkencho, I asked Commissioner Harris about the specific efforts that are being made to improve relations between gardaí and the black and mixed race communities in the Dublin 15 area in the aftermath of this incident,” O’Gorman said.“We also discussed the urgency of tackling racism and the work of An Garda Síochána to protect victims of racism and encourage people to report racist incidents to the Gardaí,” O’Gorman said. Gardaí shot George Nkencho multiple times outside his home on Manorsfields Drive in Clonee, Co Dublin at the end of December.Since his death, ethnic minority communities and supporters have reiterated calls for greater racial equality in Ireland and in how people are treated by the gardaí. Outside his funeral in March, friends and neighbours held posters in his memory, with one saying: “Farewell, George – we won’t forget, we’ll stand for justice and truth.”Garda Commissioner Harris said today that 310 Garda Diversity Officers are responsible for supporting diversity and cultural awareness, and said that they are “working hard to build trust with under-represented and minority communities”.

This is the exact mindset that's running rampant in America, that will likely lead to their fall, yet we in Ireland ignore the potential damage of such beliefs, and run down the same road. What's clear from all of this framing is that certain groups are automatically believed to be racist, or have some racial issues, which means that they must atone for their sins, and submit themselves to the desires of political radicals for "acceptance".

There should be no multiculturalism when it comes to policing , you break the law , you get arrested . Except in the case of George , whose family got a bigger , newer house I hung around with a mixed race bloke for years when I was younger , his father was a doctor and came over here well before all the anchor babies fiasco . People might be shocked to know but he dressed the same as us , talked the same music as us , ate the same food , his father owned a big house and drove a nice car , they aren't from another planet as some activists would have you believe. That's the type of migrant we should have only allowed in , it's doesn't matter what colour you are but we should only accept people who actually support themselves and their families, without coming here looking for a handout . The gardai would be better off employing more police instead of wasting more money on gardai diversity officers and cultural awareness training, so they can be tackling real crime . Give it another 10 years and crime and violence will be rife in them areas and it'll be like England and America with politicians and " activists" blaming everything on racism , no investment , racist police , slavery and white privilege . That's the problem with multiculturalism some cultures keep the head down and have a strong work ethic , others just play the system and don't provide much in return .

Not particularly educated, and neither was his wife. They had 4 kids of schools going age. Now they got a council house which some of the locals weren't happy about. Typical bloody immigrants getting everything talk around the area. The father worked for years in a supermarket as he couldn't really get anywhere else due to a lack of qualifications. The mother didn't work. The thing is though, while he worked whatever hours he could, without fail, the mother made sure her kids went to school. The kids mixed with locals no bother, and they were pleasant to talk to. Roll on 20 years, the 4 kids are in decent well paying jobs, the wife works as a cleaner and father the works in a different shop, and they're part of the local furniture. The point is sometimes immigrants who might not be skilled do come here with the intention of making the most of what little they have in order to give their kids something better. Immigrants who want to come into this country? Yeah better that they're skilled, but far more important is the attitude to work hard, become a part of the community and guide their kids to do as best they can. Being skilled is secondary for me.
