That’s one hell of a long post

It was meant to be enjoyed over a pint or two of tepid Smithwick's Red

It's TulaneLSU with a different schtick.

Thanks for sharing. This is a different era than what I was referring to, but I’ll check it out.

Lost Tribes / British Israelism legend dates to 6th century BC - this is 1500 + years later.

really? I thought it meant Irish with dark hair and brown/hazel eyes. Black Irish are really a selkie descendants, but Fr Murphy doesn’t like it when you believe in the fay - so black Irish is the term

black Irish was used by mix raced folks in America who wanted to pass

Look at all those fricking words.

I’ll be there through New Years this year. Staying around Kilkenny.

Can’t wait.

Heavy part of my heritage is Irish.

What? No Irish need apply signs? Nobody would claim black, Irish, or Jew to get a job or an apartment.

Irish are following (at least Dublin) the EU model. The countryside doesn't necessarily agree, but urban areas and women. As usual. They have shitcanned their history and their principles quite easily.

this is stupid - the women in the countryside and the west don’t see the benefits of the EU

Ok, so are Limerick, Galway, Cork, Killarney, Sligo, Waterford, considered countryside? I know they see all the "benefits" of the EU, whereas the woman that lives in Ballycotton, for instance, sees no benefit except for the ability to live on the continent.
