Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Or, as libtards deem it: a holiday for racist, bigot, homophobes. That’s right, pasty faced white people are
celebrating their hatred by wearing green, marching in parades, and getting
drunk. According to them, this isn’t
about the patron saint of Ireland. This is
about gingers thumbing their nose at the OTHERS!
You think that’s absurd? Well, to any normal person it would be, but not
to the self-loathing. Salon.com is
notorious for their hatred of mainstream America. It shouldn’t surprise anyone they found a
writer of Irish descent to parrot their disgust of all things whitey. Here is an excerpt from Andrew O’Hehir’s
article:
But the end of the
IRA’s guerrilla war had a less salubrious effect on the Irish-American
population, and I say that in full awareness that on the surface that’s an
offensive statement. What I mean is that the last connection between
Irish-American identity and genuine history was severed, and all we’re left
with now is a fading and largely bogus afterlife. On one hand, Irishness is a
nonspecific global brand of pseudo-old pubs, watered-down Guinness, “Celtic”
tattoos and vague New Age spirituality, designed to make white people feel
faintly cool without doing any of the hard work of actually learning anything.
On the other, it’s Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Pat Buchanan and Rep. Peter
King, Long Island’s longtime Republican congressman (and IRA supporter), consistently
representing the most stereotypical grade of racist, xenophobic, small-minded,
right-wing Irish-American intolerance. When you think of the face of white rage
in America, it belongs to a red-faced Irish dude on Fox News.
Did I mention this guy
is white and Irish? You wouldn’t think
it from the venom he spews. Maybe this
is just a rant against Fox News and republican politicians. But the next excerpt will promptly dismiss
that:
But Irish-Americans rapidly absorbed the lesson that the
way to succeed in their new country was to reject the politics of class and
shared economic interests and embrace the politics of race. One disgraceful
result was the New York draft riots of 1863, the low point of Irish-black
relations in American history, when Irish immigrants by the thousands turned on
their black neighbors in a thinly disguised race riot. Irish-Americans were
under no delusions that the ruling class of Anglo Protestants liked or trusted
them, and anti-Irish and/or anti-Catholic bigotry endured in diluted form well
into the 20th century. But by allying themselves with a system of white
supremacy, the Irish in America were granted a share of power and privilege —
most notably in urban machine politics, and the police and fire departments of
every major city.
So what this guy is ultimately pissed off about is Irish
immigrants embraced the American Creed.
They acculturated and became mainstream citizens.
Of course, Mr. O’Hehir sees your average white American as a right-wing
racist, bigot, homophobe. We’ve come to
recognize the left’s hateful view of America.
Without a doubt, to them, a chicken is a member of the KKK simply because it's white.
