happy st. patrick’s day, here’s a reminder that the english invaded and colonized our country, attempted genocide, when that didnt work punished us for speaking our own language and enjoying our culture to the point where precious few even speak Gaeilge as a primary language, brutally crushed those who attempted to rebel, ignited a civil war intentionally so they could keep the north, fanned the flames of the Troubles, allowed prisoners to starve to death on hunger strike to send a message, treated us like 2nd class citizens in both our own country and in the UK for years, CONTINUE to fuck over the north, and now attempt to profit off our national holiday by getting really drunk even though the alcohol issues that my country is famous for are due to the above reasons. have a good one

#BUT HEY!! WHITE PEOPLE HAVE NO CULTURE AND HISTORY OF OPPRESION!!!!#SARCASM

dont twist my post like this lol. white people dont have a connecting culture or history of oppression bc we vary very wildly and come from many backgrounds. white ppl as a whole arent oppressed just cause the irish (and others) were oppressed, to say that is downright insulting because it was WHITE ENGLISH people who did this to us in the first place.

as an addition, the reason irish people are generally accepted as white in modern times is due to anti-black racism we perpetuated in order to “ascend” to the level of our oppressors. so stop using my history and past as a ‘gotcha’ to ppl criticizing white people as a whole
