Day 10-on the warpath!

I pulled an absolute freaker at work today, some racist aule granny with a west brit accent started giving out to me because I work for Oxfam! Fucking Nazi Cunt! I don’t need that ye mad bat!
‘can’t they help themselves, they’ve had independence since the seventies’ she said, well even the most cursory knowledge of Irish history will tell you that it took more than a few years(after the war of independence and a vicious civil war) for us to get back on our feet after the withdrawal of colonial forces. Even at that, it took massive intervention and investment from the EU just to get us started on the rocky road back to the first world.
Having informed her of this with all the politness and grace my seething temper would allow she retorted with much vigour ‘ah sure there was no civilisation in Africa beforehand, weren’t they just goin around naked an’livin’in huts’. I offered up a humble one word answer: ‘Egypt’. Then she tried to tell me that thats not in Africa! It was at this point I started cursing as she waddled away pushing her big rusty bike-CUNT!
Needless to say she wasn’t the last pain in bollox that I met. A much more conventional racist granny. She saw the Oxfam sign on my folder and let rip. ‘Is it not enough that they come into this country and start taking over without you asking us to give more money!’ said she indignantly. My blood was still up since the last one so I skipped the foreplay. I turned on my heal and started explaining to her in Irish why, as an Irish person, racism was in itself a betrayal of your own ancestory and history and culture and all the sacrifices made on your behalf( be they in kinsale, Vinnegar hill, the GPO, the H-Block or wherever else you want to squeeze out some republicanism). Needless to say she didn’t understand a word I said hence proving her true ignorance. Not even knowing the culture she’s trying to protect from foreign dilution the womans argument cracked and crumbled to the ground, still though I will add the obligatory-CUNT!
To add and justify my comments above regarding Irish people and racism. Irish people have not the right to racism. Why? Because its not so long ago that you could go abroad and see signs in shop windows that said ‘No Blacks, No Jews, No Irish and No Dogs’. My point being that as we too come from the bottom of the pile we are brothers of all the other oppressed peoples(in a manner of speaking). That is to say that a racist Irish person forfeits the right to call themselves Irish by holding racist opinions and commiting racist acts. This is because they are themselves no better than the people who oppressed us for centuries, if they had the chance they would renounce their birth and side with the oppressor. They are in a sense turning on their own. Plus the fact that its just plain wrong.
Another point I’d like to make to anyone complaining about the influx of immigrants coming into this country is the fact that its just plain hypocritical. Irish people have travelled the world in search of work and refuge-can you name one major city in the worls that does not have an Irish pub? Secondly I’d like to ask how many of your own relatives had to move? How many aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters of yours have worked illegally in America? We built half of the modern world for Christs sake! And now, modern Ireland is being forged in an economic furnace run by the sweat and hard work of Polish, Nigerian and Chinese workers.
We don’t have the right to turn these people away. America has taken our coffin ships for long enough and its about time we repaid our debt to the rest of the world. Those are my beliefs in pricipal at least, I know full well that its not going to be all sunshine and lollipops in reality but the least we can do is get our principals right
