White People And The Ira

[joko]

do people in countries where whites are a minority think all white people are IRA terrorists?

[B00]

only if they're Irish as well ;-)

[anneasquith]

no.

[boxtops]

Interesting question, joko. Where all the IRA terrorists white?

[boxtops]

^ were

[mushroom25]

the IRA's grievance was a specific issue as to who should govern a particular piece of an island off the western edge of europe and as such, rarely would there have been much point in taking their cause beyond the local area.

thus many people in the countries to which you refer have probably never heard of the IRA.

[Duncer]

It may have been a grievance for some, but it was also a sectarian war.

Why IRA and not ETA?

[davetuc]

What a pathetic question! Haven't you anything better to do?

[bednobs]

haven't you got anything better to do than to answer it then?

[Sqad]

Yes......if they are white......speak with an Irish accent.......and keep blowing you up with bombs.........that might give you a clue............

[davetuc]

Unfortunately bednobs, because the question was so ridiculous I had to reply.

[ummmm]

Dave - do you not understand the point?

[ludwig]

I doubt it because those countries don't have many bombs being set off or people being murdered in their streets by people claiming to be Irish republicans.

[Sqad]

Another way of looking at it joko...........if the people were black, with fuzzy hair and spoke Swahili,they would not likely be IRA terrorists.......not infallible, but likely.

do the orange men drink tango -)

It gets complicated. Samantha Lewthwaite, for example, is from Ireland and thought to be involved in the latest outrage in Kenya.

Davetuc, ive seen three of your answers today, none of them nice. As a moderator of the site i'm politely asking you to self moderate your future answers- ta :-)

[davetuc]

ummmmm- of course I understand the point of the question, I just think it's pathetic! The question setter obviously has no knowledge of the history of the troubles in Northern Ireland or is attempting to be clever but failing miserably!
