st. patricks day /ireland/

[Anonymous No.9251044]

>Where are our missing twenty millions of Irish should be here today instead of four, our lost tribes? And our potteries and textiles, the finest in the whole world! And our wool that was sold in Rome in the time of Juvenal and our flax and our damask from the looms of Antrim and our Limerick lace, our tanneries and our white flint glass down there by Ballybough and our Huguenot poplin that we have since Jacquard de Lyon and our woven silk and our Foxford tweeds and ivory raised point from the Carmelite convent in New Ross, nothing like it in the whole wide world. Where are the Greek merchants that came through the pillars of Hercules, the Gibraltar now grabbed by the foe of mankind, with gold and Tyrian purple to sell in Wexford at the fair of Carmen? Read Tacitus and Ptolemy, even Giraldus Cambrensis. Wine, peltries, Connemara marble, silver from Tipperary, second to none, our farfamed horses even today, the Irish hobbies, with king Philip of Spain offering to pay customs duties for the right to fish in our waters. What do the yellowjohns of Anglia owe us for our ruined trade and our ruined hearths? And the beds of the Barrow and Shannon they won't deepen with millions of acres of marsh and bog to make us all die of consumption?

Must give one a lot of pride, having once had the finest textiles in the world.

irish people are subhuman, even they know it. I know it and I'm part irish.

do irish people consider themselves anglo? im german american with red hair and the other day in the locker room someone goes, "german?" and i say yeah, how'd you know, people normally guess irish or scottish or whatever. and he said, "well your skin tone - and your ancestors raped the irish and that's why they have red hair." not sure if that's true or not.

No.

Technically the ancestors of Irish people raped the Irish.

Irish people definitely don't consider themselves anglo but their cultural heritages are now quite intertwined (especially by the english language). and that's just some nonsense idk about that.

No. But Dublin and Glasgow have a lot of poverty and substance abuse otherwise.

St patricks only became a cultural celebration in Ireland after it was exported back by the diaspora. The myth around him has little to do with the historical figure
