An article about racism in Ireland.

An article about racism in Ireland.
Killester station, racist grafiti
Killester station, racist grafiti

I decided to write this article in order to unveil what happens in Killester D5 every day. I use the dart every morning and a lot of times I saw racist graffiti in the station like "Too many foreigners". A few months ago there was someone who wrote "Too many Poles"... Another graffiti from the same person "No jobs for Irish"... And I am sure there are more sad examples like that.

Despite the fact, Ireland has a very low racism record, if you check in every video youtube related to Ireland all the comments below are extremely anti-immigrant, sometimes vulgar and offensive. I am just quoting (anonymously) some Irish youtubers "Here in Ireland when we see a cv with foreign name we bin it", "Keep Ireland white, Ireland for the Irish".... Those comments do exist and there far more than somebody could think. I spoke to a lot of people about this issue and most of them surprised gave me replies like "Oh, I didn't know they exist"... Sadly they do and the fact most of us do not know anything is very dangerous for the future of Ireland.

How many people use youtube especially minors? How an environment when a child can watch in 5mins “Ireland is suffering because of massive immigration” is healthy? How dangerous tool youtube can be when a video like "Non Irish want Ireland" has about 12.000 views because there is no action, no common sense to stop a bunch of uneducated morons spreading their racists ideas by uploading sick videos?

How do we still allow these people to act against ethnic minorities doing whatever they want while at the same time the millions of Irish immigrants abroad confront the same racism from some "Super Aryans nationalists"? How can we still support fascists organizations like the ICP?

The outcome:
How is it possible in our ‘civilized’ world, where a minimum of education is easily available for everybody, that people come to completly lack of any capacity of thinking logically? …no reason, no logic conclusions, no ability to discriminate things. I don’t think stupidity can be an excuse for that. Even an ‘underprivileged’ brain has received enough input, enough education to be able to understand the basic rules of social communication. How is it possible that we still find such savage people? How it is possible in the year of 2009, to still find people who believe that others are inferiors because they were simply born a few kilometers away? They must act in bad faith.

IS THIS A TIME TO ACT NOW:
Anti racism protests should be organized as soon as possible. Let's isolate these dangerous people. This is the only way to make our community free from that cancer so called "racism". Let's aware the public.
