Naas mayor refuses to represent black Africans

I think if he had said "Certain quarters of the Nigerian Male community" instead of "Black Africans" the reaction may have been different?

This guy is either a racist, a complete jerkoff or an idiot or all three. As a public representative, he has a duty to represent all of the electorate and if he doesn't want to do so, he should resign his excessively well-paid sinecure.:rolleyes:

Sweeping generalisations and racial stereotyping of the kind that he has demonstrated only encourage and legitimise the attitudes and actions of scumbags who indulge in the casual racism that is all too common in Ireland.:mad:

The Finn Gael leadership, especially Enda Kenny, who certainly does not share such despicable views, should make it abundantly clear that it dissociates itself from the views of this rather nasty little man and will not endorse him at the next election.:eek:

If creeps like him are not pulled up sharpish when he says such a despicable thing, what will he think of next? Perhaps a big sign on the motorway announcing that "Naas ist jetzt judenrein"?:)

Christ almighty. Someone should tell him that its normal practise for the denizens of many African countries to shout at the top of their voices, wave their hands and generally throw shapes when they are discussing something. Admittedly that sort of behaviour in Ireland's culture usually comes about half a minute before someone gets a shlap, but still, meet in the middle like.

Well that's a much more narrow group and could be justified to some extent by referring to culture, language and practices.

yea I think so. I have had countless problems from mostly Nigerian men? The women have always been lovely. There are many aspects of African culture that I love. I have a Djembe for instance! And I'm a fan of the late great Nigerian genius Fela Kuti!

Women in general can be as aggressive and threatening in meetings as men, it doesn't matter where they come from. Same goes for people of different nations, no there are aggressive and quiet people from all nations.

Its been said before, he should just tell someone who is becoming aggressive to leave the office/meeting and inform one and all that that is the way aggressive people will be dealt with from now on.

Either way he is a public representative, and he is there to rpresent all, if he is incapable of doing this then he should resign, we already waste enough money on politicians who dont do their jobs.

I'd like to ask him would he rather deal with an obnoxious white person or a courteous black person. There are plenty of both in this country.

He's obviously a fúcking eejit. Anyway Fine Gael hates everybody, look at the next budget for proof.

Maybe, being from another country, Africans are disguisted by the incompetence, uselessness, red tape, beauracy, and condecension of elected officials whereas Irish people have learnt to meekly accept it.

Maybe they are frustrated that coming from a third world country they expect higher standards and are met with backward, racist Gombeens like this in elected positions who when faced with people who are frustrated, instead of doing anything about it, tars them all with one brush, turns his back and refuses to deal with them. Publically.

Seep Blatter makes comments to the effect that comments said in the heat of the moment should be forgotten about after the game and gets rightly pillored from every direction.

An elected representative makes comments like this after careful reflection and people here are supporting him???

I am ashamed to be Irish reading this thread.

Agree with the Mayor of Naas. Been self employed i stopped taking phone calls from Nigerians. After a few customers i realised its not worth it, They just don't get the privce is the price. having to put up with the shouting, rudness and bad manners off most of them i've dealt with. Found that the women were by far, more aggressive than the men. Scary race of people.

As you're screening your calls you must have a relationship with the people trying to contact you to ensure you won't have to answer the phone to them.

IAs it's obviously a regular occurance that you're rowing about prices you must realise it's more likely you and not their race that's the common denominator?

Working in customer service i have found ALL african nigerians to be rude and very hard to deal with, both the men and the women being obnoxious , loud and difficult. I understand this politicians frustration but he should have done it discreetly, not publicly cause the PC brigade will have him for this.

Once again an Irish politican makes an eejit of themselves.

For a start why limit it to Black Africans ?
I have met some rather obnoxios arrogant White Africans so why not include them ?
Then also there are the North Africans of Arab extraction.

And shure why not extend to all the Dubs that are living out in Naas what with their dub jerseys and all.
Then there are all the other non Kildare natives who must have something wrong with them for living in Kildare.
Shure next thing you could extend it to the few Kildare natives that are left.

So if I was him I wouldn't deal with anyone.

Just because one group of Africans may be ar**holes and difficult to deal with, one should not tar everyone who happens to be from the same continent and have the same skin colour with the same brush.

Would he refuse to deal with Spanish people becuase French people can be arrogant twats ?

How does he differentiate between black Africans and black people form anywhere else ?
Does he ask for a passport before telling them shag off ?
