[Róisín_Rua]

The film Gerry was watching is set in 1858.

.. and?

1) I am not a shinner. it is that kind of stupid attitude that undermines you.
2) If you want to have a go at Gerry Adams, there is plenty material you can use legitimately. If you can't see that you undermine yourself with this kind of rubbish, then there is little left to say.

Way to address the substantive issue, Gerry.

I might ask you the same thing. What's the relevance of the frequency of the word's use to this story?

Yeah, Northern Ireland is the epitome of tolerance, how could he be?

So he must, despite his party's policies, be racist, homophobic, anti-semitic, sexist, ageist, Islamophobic, transphobic, xenophobic etc.

Ooooh. A gif. Way to avoid the issues moron.

I'd seriously doubt Adams is a racist.

He's fucking stupid though.

You may note from the text below the gif that I suggested you're the one avoiding the issues. Or are you as bad at reading as you are at telling racists from non-racists?

Absolutely, fucking stupid thing to do. But to call him a racist is imbecilic, and unnecessarily plays into the fortress mentality of SF supporters.

Classic whataboutery. What about Ballymurphy? What about the film? What about irony? None of these are valid excuses. You can't coopt the hundreds of years of slavery and suffering of African Americans for the sake of your own petty sectarianism.
