Open Letter to anybody who cares:
The Irish are known for their exceptional hospitality, a trait shaped by a deep understanding of poverty, slavery, and oppression. Many Irish people have emigrated globally in pursuit of improved living conditions, often only to settle in CROWN lands. Before this, Our Fathers, Siblings, Uncles, Aunts and Cousins were forcibly displaced around the world to enhance the lives of our colonial masters. While our mothers and grandmothers were raped, beaten and enslaved in work houses managed by external governance interests.
It’s a misconception that racism has been prevalent in Irish culture. Instead, we’ve historically been welcoming to strangers (too our detriment in some cases) shown a strong sense of Right and Wrong, aversion to injustice and discrimination, and a fierce opposition to those who promote such behaviours.
This is what the Irish are known for, and these are the values that are experiencing a resurgence recently. Unfortunately for us, we rarely agree on a course of action to take… You might recall the phrase ‘The Fighting Irish.’ It’s important to note that this doesn’t imply racism. Instead, it reflects our historical tendency for National or “internal” conflict and disagreements.
The phrase ‘Send them Back’ can be perceived as protective rather than racist, depending on the context. It’s crucial to avoid jumping to conclusions and consider the intentions behind such statements. When a crisis arises at home (Nationally) or in the Pub (At work), the initial action often involves ending hospitality and asking guests to leave for their safety. This is not about racism, but about ensuring safety in a critical situation. The women of Ireland have traditionally been known for their warm hospitality and genuine concern for the well-being of those suffering under unjust rule. However, it appears that ‘An Bán an Tí’ (Woman of the House) is now prepared to take a firm stance and uphold the law of the Land in her own Home/Town/County/Country. While many women may not be directly involved in conflict or confrontational situations, they often play a crucial supporting role behind the scenes. As Irish men stand strong, they are often inspired by the unwavering support of the women in their lives, reminiscent of the legendary giants of Irish-lore.
These women were not merely bereaved mothers, sisters, and wives of the heroic deceased, as some of their male counterparts portrayed them. They where the strength our heroes drew from to continue the struggle day in and day out. Ada English, Kathleen Clarke, Mary Ní/MacSwiney, Kathleen O’Callaghan, and Margaret Pearse emerged as political powers in their own right, having formed a definitive stance on the Treaty after thorough deliberation. These women, though emphasizing their representation of all Irish women, cannot be regarded as ordinary. Among the six female TDs, Countess Markiewicz is unquestionably the most recognized. Her frequent interjections and direct questioning of Éamon de Valera regarding her exclusion from the negotiating team left a lasting impression. The other five RIW – Ada English, Kathleen Clarke, Mary Ní/MacSwiney, Kathleen O’Callaghan, and Margaret Pearse – were equally remarkable, with their election to Dáil Éireann serving as indisputable proof of their exceptional status and the position of women in éiRe circuit 1922.
If you’re fleeing an unsafe, impoverished, or authoritarian environment in your home country, Ireland may not be the most suitable destination for you in the coming years. As we face similar challenges, we must prioritize our own needs and priorities. There are complex societal decisions and actions being taken, and if I weren’t born and raised here, I wouldn’t risk being entangled in the complexities of a 9 centuries-old conflict.
Despite Ireland’s rich history of migration, we the People are actively encouraging our family members, friends, and fellow Irish expats to return home. As a Nation, we take great pride in our cultural identity and heritage. Therefore, those who choose to remain on this island will not permit any external authority bar God its self to undermine the sacrifices made by our ancestors for the benefit of our future generations. Have you heard of the “terrorist” organisation called the IRA (Irish Republican Army)? You think they where scary Just wait and see how terrifying The RIW ( Real Irish Women) will be. A woman scorn and all that… I’d like to clarify that the IRA is a complex and controversial topic. Instead, I’d like to focus on the future, an empowering message of the ‘Real Irish Women’ movement, which promotes a strong sense of identity and community among Irish Women. Its not a website, a building or a registration form its the Mothers, Grandmothers, Daughters Aunts and Nieces, its a state of mind. This Nation belongs to them and they are silent no more.
@Spacereform3 5 years ago: For all you so quick to judge, It has been confirmed that one of the shops family used her for a visa. They married her for a visa to the country, then left her and took her other kid without any say. Left her with the other kid which is autistic by the way. When she showed up earlier to try and get answers she wants her other kid back. One of the shop owners hit her in the face. That is when this escalated. Honestly really fucked up and she has every right to be furious. How do you people not feel like complete assholes?
@lauraswann5543 1 year ago: The black man used her and got her pregnant with two children, to get Irish citizenship papers. Then he kidnapped her daughter.And his family members don’t care about that, they are more concernwd that she threw a few packets of nuts on the ground and they filmed her and put her on the internet as if she was thw villain, not their son. Where is this woman’s daughter? I hope she got her back. I hope that this woman and her children are all safe and together. Irish women, stay away from African, Albanian, Indian and Pakistani men, they treat women like shyte. I hope this woman and her kids are OK now, God love her.

🇮🇪@_FDP_ 5 years ago: You can treat addiction to drugs, but you can’t put a soul in those who used that woman and stole her daughter. I hope she gets the help she deserves.
@cthompson9492 5 years ago (edited)The Nigerians are in the wrong here. If I understand correctly, the Irish woman’s Nigerian ex (“Jude”) has taken her daughter and is now “Cynthia’s” boyfriend. The Irish woman is naturally distraught that her daughter has been stolen. She allegedly called Cynthia a prostitute 2 weeks earlier. She also wanted the shop to ban Jude which they refuse to do. Cynthia attacked the Irish woman several times – also 2 weeks previously. During the second attack in this video, Cynthia put the camera down but you can quite clearly hear her thumping the Irish woman and also during this scuffle, more shelving and goods in the shop were destroyed and overturned. Therefore, whilst the Irish woman did throw a few things on the ground early in the video – out of frustration and anger – the major damage was caused when Cynthia attacked her off camera. At first viewing, it is easy to assume that the Irish woman is just another drunk / crackhead racist – her teeth do indicate some kind of drug abuse or at the very least extremely poor hygiene – but if you listen to what she is saying, it is obvious that this is a woman in extreme pain. As for those people saying that her autistic son should be taken away from her, I think it is clear that she loves him because at one point during the argument he starts to cry and she immediately stops and goes to comfort him. It was an instinctive reaction. Unlike some of the disgusting comments below – especially those by certain men with obviously Asian/Muslim names – the woman is not racist. At no point during this video did she make any racist comments. She said “black” but that is not racist. I am black (Jamaican roots) I do not find anything she said offensive. It’s a very sad video showing how losing a child and someone you were in love with, can affect a person. As for the comment about people coming into her country to get stuff from the government and get passports etc, I think it’s not necessarily racist as in some cases it’s true (Africans, Indians, Pakistanis etc do get married so they can get EU passports). However, this is just a minority of people and I think she feels that this is what happened to her so, of course, her opinion is coloured by her experience. My final comment is addressed specifically to the Asian/Muslim racists who have posted some absolutely disgusting comments about black people in general and black men / white women in particular. I would just like to remind them that whereas this Nigerian man may or may not have entered into a marriage of convenience and may or may not have hit his wife in the face (I saw no evidence of a broken jaw), I have yet to read anything about Africans grooming and gang-raping underage white girls. This is primarily something which people in your culture seem to do. Shall I judge you all by the actions of rapists, heroin-dealers and paedophiles in English towns and cities? Or maybe by the ISIS terrorists or by the daily gang rape-murder of girls and in India and Pakistan or by the slavery, murder, rape and torture you people commit in Libya and other Middle Eastern countries? I could call you all a bunch of savages as you have called African people but fortunately, unlike you, I have a brain which actually works.
It seams to me that when “racism” raises its ugly head that is a tell tale sign that globalism is in town.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the woman featured in the video, and we hope her situation has improved and that she and her family are in a more comfortable and stable place in their life. If anyone has any updates on her and her familys well-being, please share them in the comments below.
