@Liam flag: Murder and stealing are usually reported. Racism usually isn’t. Thats the point of the campaign (obviously).

@Ivan Truckrcar: My god you’re right. I’ll get my coat. I apologise to any species of grass whom I may have offended with my comments. I did not mean to promote harmful stereotypes of grass, I’m not that kind of person. Some of my best friends are grass.

@Coner Willis: Oh I see. Please excuse my ignorance, I have not seen the stats for incidents of racism which go unreported. Could you please post them here for me to peruse? Thanks

@Liam flag: Who cares about stats? Just because you haven’t seen unreported racism doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. If the people leading this campaign think its a worthwhile venture then they probably know more about it then you, believe it or not.

@Coner Willis: Who cares about stats… amazing.. obviously not you. This campaign is political, it is not purely altruistic. It’s another promotion of identity politics.

@Peedur Dante: I guess I’m just a bad person. Now off you trot little troll x x

@Liam flag: Why, are you an expert on racism and the people who run this campaign aren’t? I’m sick of smart alecs like you who are always on here whinging about things you don’t understand. You’re not black and you don’t have to deal with racism. If you think this campaign is pointless, it doesn’t matter because it’s designed for people who have to deal with problems that you will never have to deal with.

Is it only blacks that deal with racism coner?

@Coner Willis: Every race can be victims of racism, not just black people.

@Coner Willis: I actually am black you dope! Ha ha. Idiot.

@Peedur Dante: I don’t want a medal for bravery so I don’t care. Sorry

@Peedur Dante: Yawn

@Peedur Dante: I don’t want any of your medals, put them wherever you find most comfortable. Nor do I have to explain anything to you. Open the question up to all the people that agree with me, one of them might answer you, I’m not playing your game. Night night now.

@Liam flag: Based on you comments, you do seem like a bad person.

@Real Name: Oh based on the comment where I mentioned I’m black is it? Dirtbag. I’m reporting you all to the immigration council, you hate crimers. Thanks Journal

@Liam flag: Liam it’s your hate speech about grass that got me. Seriously man.

@Catherine Sims: What did it get you?

@Liam flag: knowledge that grass has feelings too!!!

@tae: Ya, pretty much.

@Catherine Sims: Well I’m glad I was able to raise some awareness. I will be on to the transport authority to run an ad campaign as soon as I can raise the funds. I’m sick of the smell of fresh cut murder every time we have a bit of sun.

@Beachmaster: C’mon, dont pretend that the vast majority of racism isn’t directed towards black people.

@Coner Willis: “you’re not black and you don’t have to deal with racism”? Wow, you do realise that you don’t have to be black to be a victim of racism. Have you heard the derogatory word “cracker” thrown about by a lot of rap singers both black and white.

@Peedur Dante: Triggered are we? Boo frickin hoo

@Liam flag: no. my comment calling you a bad person is based on the fact you seem like a person with horrible views. Did I upset you?

@Gary: Obviously anyone can be victims of racism. But don’t pretend that the vast majority of racism in the western world is directed at black people.

@Peedur Dante: You might as well give up Peedur. I can’t tell if he’s serious or if he’s just winding us up but theres no point wasting your time trying to get through to him.

@Coner Willis: Where’s your proof that the vast majority of racism is towards black people? Put the computer down and go for a walk for a few hours.

@Peedur Dante: Yeah I’m a black alt rightist. Makes about as much sense as a Jewish jihadist. Idiot.

@Gary: Are you having a laugh? How could I possibly have proof? Are you really, REALLY telling me that in white majority countries most of the racism is directed towards white people? Jesus I really do need a walk…

@Coner Willis: Keep on digging. Skip the walk Coner and just lay down for a few hours. Jebus wept.

@Peedur Dante: Because I bloody well feel like it *middle finger emoji*

@Liam flag: I really hope you’re only on here to annoy the likes of me and d

@Coner Willis: I really hope you’re only on here to annoy the likes of me and don’t actually believe in what your saying “Liam”. To be fair to you though your a funny man for a keyboard warrior.

@Liam flag!

@Peedur Dante: Racist

@Peedur Dante: I have no problem belittling any campaign involving The Immigration Council of Ireland while they get funding here and spend a lot of it using people in to get the freebies. How many racism is never noticed by people speaking languages other than English to Irish (for those who speak it). Far two many non nationals massaging figures but they have the opportunity to use their “mother tongue” to slag us being racist about us. When we all have equal rights I’ll support it.

@Peedur Dante: Well for starters.. a few weeks back you made a comment to another user which stated that you think all black people are stupid and also Hitler did nothing wrong. That sounds pretty racist to me. I suppose you’ll deny these allegations now that someone has called you out on it eh? Absolutely pathetic.

@Peedur Dante: zzzzzzzzzzzzz

@Peedur Dante: Would you like a tissue? Poor baby

@Peedur Dante: Nope no defence at all. Happy now? You win. Good for you. I’m doing a small jig in your honour o wise one. I bow down to your intellect. We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy! Once again, a white guy beating down the opinions of a black man. Cheers for that. Thankfully most people aren’t as openly racist as yourself, with or without ridiculous ad campaigns that tell people that racism is wrong.

@Peedur Dante: BTW, the likes on our comments are strongly indicative of you losing this “argument” :-) Ya big feckin eejit :-)

@Peedur Dante: Yaaaaaaawwwwnnnn… sorry what was that? Talking to you is so incredibly boring that I dozed off there…. Sorry about that, what were you saying? Alt right something something? Sorry I’m listening now. Go ahead.

@Liam flag: another anonymous coward wasting everyone’s time. Must be grand to have all that spare time “Liam”.
Are you unemployed long or just retired?

@Clever Jake: Is English your first language?

@Danny Rafferty: None of your business “Danny”. If I’m “wasting your time” then block me and stop whining.

@Clever Jake: Yeah simple words… like “where” and “were”. Derp.

@Clever Jake: Also, “Bigots tend not to be the sharpest tools in the box” would be a less tortured way of structuring that sentence. You think by saying things in an flouncy manner, you come across as intelligent.. you don’t. You come across like a pretentious and insufferable twàt.

@Clever Jake: I think you mean “being” and not “been”. See what I mean? Digging yourself into a hole. How embarrassing.

@Clever Jake: Your own cited definitions prove you wrong, you idiot. You may say, “have you been deliberately obtuse?”, as in, have I previously been deliberately obtuse, past tense. In the present tense, you would say, “are you being deliberately obtuse?”. Stupid troll can’t use wordz gud :-(

@Clever Jake: Yes, they are two separate words, that’s why they are spelled differently. #idiot

@Peedur Dante: Not sure where you are from or how long have you been here but your ability to read English is below par or in typical fashion you make my words mean something that I never intended. Read my comment again, slowly and make a bit more sense with your next reply.

@Liam flag: ??? It’s ironic you’re saying it on thejournal.ie which has plenty evidence that violent racism is alive and well.

@Peedur Dante: You are talking pure sh!te again. Stop quoting only part of my comment. try reading it again; I am talking about the entire comment not just the too thick you want to pick out and then read you first reply to me, perhaps somebody in work tomorrow will help you with it.

@Real Name: He is in Fawlty Towers . He is from Barcelona

@Peedur Dante: because these anti racism groups seem hell bent on importing as many black and brown people into the country as possible, they are shady organisations and draw down funding from the state and other bodies, they are constantly telling us that we are all racists when there is practically no reports or news stories about proving it. Where is the evidence, they could be calling their own hotlines for all we know. The more people that come into the country with nothing, the more strains there are on all our services including housing.
Can you not grasp the fact that there are already tens of thousands of Africans here on housing lists or on rent allowance? These people are worried about aledged name calling and not the fact that we are blowing billions on people that have nothing to do with this country or its formation and are just using the colour of their skin to fleece stuff from the so called racists.

@Sorcha Ní Shúilleabháin: can I see some evidence or cases that went to court? Or do I just get to see a giant picture of jelly babies and some self invented Prat telling me that I am the same as a Somalian and to look at jelly babies to convince myself of that fact. It might cut it for you but I am sceptical of all these organisations and how this racism thing is being used and abused these days.

@Real Name: if you had half a brain you could figure out that it was a typo. I have not seen one homeless African in Dublin over the last two decades. So explain that and maybe that freak with the mullah beard can too

@neimad: You want me to explain you haven’t seen homeless African people in Dublin? I don’t know you. How can I explain why you haven’t seen something.

It was a typo! No way. Thanks for clearing that up. I was so, so confused.
In hindsight, you obviously typed Manuel instead of …..Eh….Actually what were you attempting to type?

@neimad: I have seen homeless Africans…… also get called n words just going from a to b…. but maybe I’m abusing the Irish by living here. And don’t make me laugh, try report a crime where you have no idea who the person who did it is and see how close to court you get.

@Real Name: I’m guessing he was dictating his rant to his secretary, an affable Spanish bloke with limited English who therefore didn’t know where the post was to end and overshot it by one sentence.

@Real Name what age are you? Twelve or something. If it was such a racist hellhole then where are the homeless Africans. You can’t explain it because it contradicts your pathetic little narrative

@neimad: You seem to have worked it all out. Is it a case that racism doesn’t happen on public transport because you haven’t seen any homeless Africans in Dublin, or it is a case that people deserve racial abuse on public transport because you haven’t seen any homeless Africans in Dublin? Either way you are a genius for working it out, Elementary, my Manuel.

@neimad: What? When did I say anywhere is a racist hellhole? Nothing you have said contradicts my narrative because I haven’t provided any narrative. I am questioning you on your comments.

@neimad: ‘A slightly higher proportion of the usually resident
homeless population was non-Irish (15 per cent or 553
people) compared with the general population where the
proportion was 12 per cent. ‘

http://www.cso.ie/en/media/csoie/census/documents/homelesspersonsinireland/Homeless_persons_in_Ireland_A_special_Census_report.pdf

I am not sure if a previous comment I made posted, but here it is again. plus I made a actual mistake on the previous post. it looks like 20% of Dublin homeless of non-irish (fig 4). The stats are a bit out of date, but I bet you wont find stats that contradict them. Unless the 20 survey you and Manuel made is included.

@Real Name: if it was truly a hostile racist country then you would be seeing more black people on the streets, I never claimed to have anything worked out either. It’s a simple observation that goes against the narrative and quite simply disproves it. Nobody is forcing people to come here and we are all subject to different forms of abuse, these groups try to make it out like we are living in the Mississippi delta a hundred years ago or something. We will have to suffer all this diversity quota bull because this is just a minority group throwing its weight around and some others trying to sweep up votes.

@Nyantoon Chol: then report it to the police and try to record it on your phone, why should we all just take your word as gospel. I find it hard to believe that there are so many incidents and no recordings of at least one of them. I do see asylum seekers waving placards calling us racists for not allowing them immediate access and complaining about conditions that are far superior to a rough sleeper. Everyday we are getting bombarded with this crap and there is no evidence, so go and get it

@Real Name: people from Eastern Europe white prople, who are you trying to fool

@neimad: oh yeah I’m going to start filming racists and they are going to be chill about. Ignorance is bliss.

@Nyantoon Chol: Ireland was broke in 2008 and people lost so much and had their taxes raised with new ones introduced and I am amazed, shocked in fact that so many people found Ireland as a good place for help. Europeans were granted free of movement but non Europeans still kept coming and many have lied to get in. How is that fair to treat a country that have always been generously even when we were poor. That strikes me as greed, nothing else so they come anyway regardless that we have enough for ourselves.

@Jho Harris: greed is a disgusting trait. We can agree on that. And so are bad manners. We all makes sacrifices for better or worse.

@neimad:
ICI funded by EU and Atlantic Philanthropies. Totoal €2.0 mill/year
Membership secret.
Goals to flood Ireland with immigrants and change to ethnicity of the country.

@Frank Cooney: That is a great story. One for the Grandkids. Did somebody say something racist in your story? you forgot to mention the racist part of your story about racism on public transport. Either way racism mustn’t exist because frank hasn’t seen it.

@Christine Paulette Roche: ‘indigenous natives’ – indigenous indigenous or natives natives. They are synonyms of each other!

@Real Name: lol
I should not laugh as I can barely speak my native indigenous language.

@Niall Callan: More BS, keep it to yourself. I don’t want to see our culture destroyed under the misleading guise of multiculturism; As long as we accept foreign culture we won’t have problem but don’t expect to see anything coming back the other way.

The ICI are setting up camps in Cherbourg and Calais getting refugees to come over to Ireland which is neither their function nor why they are being funded.

@Jho Harris: It’s not BS, it’s fact based on decades of research in archaeology, quaternary science and genetics. All of our “indigenous” migrated to Ireland by sea thousands of years after Ireland was cut off from the European continent by rising sea-levels caused by the melting of the ice sheets. So we’re all migrants, just like we’re all humans. But whatever, if those scientific facts conflict with your “us and them” beliefs feel free to put on a tin foil hat, call it BS and blame it all on chemtrails.

@Niall Callan: The UN document, Agenda 21, to which Ireland is a party, states “Indigenous people and their communities have an historical relationship with their lands and are generally descendants of the original inhabitants of such lands…In view of the interrelationship between the natural environment and its sustainable development and the cultural, social, economic and physical well-being of indigenous people, national and international efforts to implement environmentally sound and sustainable development should recognize, accommodate, promote and strengthen the role of indigenous people and their communities.” Are you saying the rights of native Americans and likewise native Irish people don’t exist? Luckily, our system of law is not based on what you think, it’s based on indigenous peoples’ rights, including the rights of the native Irish as recognised by international law.
