He’s also one black man and not representative of his whole race. There’s a term for black people who almost excuse racism directed against them. Uncle Tom.

That's fair racist talk above Cranky. Rein it in buddy.

Tis really a pity if the best that can be done in a discussion about racism in Ireland, where we saw open racism on national tv, that someone plays a decades old clip of an English footballer saying racists really aren’t racist after all.

Racism isn’t just about words. Racism takes the form of systemic discrimination, micro aggressions and racial stereotypes. If people think that these things don’t exist in Ireland then they’re out of their minds. We all are guilty of these at some stage or other. As a nation we have been justifying to ourselves discrimination against travellers for decades. I’m guilty of it and the chances are most if not all who have commented in this thread are guilty of it too. We can all do better.

Fucking Gandhi himself here la.

Pathetic stuff from the Garda Commissioner. Had there been a visible Garda presence on the scene this would have played out very differently. Distraction tactics won’t fool anyone.

For a guy so fond of public transport you'd think he'd have more time for travellers

Very inconsistent.

A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enema is our Cranky.
