As much as have great respect for you and nothing you’ve said has offended me in any way, it’s because your motives are pure. The Irish were once referred to as the “N word”s of Europe. When Neanderthal man was discovered in the 17th century, leading scientists dismissed the discovery of another race saying it was just an Irishmen pointing to the small forehead and brow ridge as evidence. During the Civil War there was a huge Irish riot in NY when the Emancipation Proclamation was announced. I wasn’t because they hated “blacks” most had never seen a “black.” They feared competition for their jobs at the lowest level of society. All the while supplying a large portion of the combatants on the Northern side.
