Its time to stop blaming the English for the Irish Famine

in history •  6 years ago 

who calls us white?

approach an englishman with the notion that because he is white, he shares the same race as the irish and you might expect a firm but polite admonishment to the contrary.

posit the same to an irishman and his admonishment won't be as polite.

race is another tool used by the state to maintain division among the conquered.

who calls us white?

I never called the Irish white (lol, or anyone else for that matter) I said Basque! Irish, Scottish, English and Welsh are all genetically Basques.
