im irish.

my ancestors were brutally oppressed by british imperialism.irish people suffered famine,poverty and general oppression whilst under british rule.this ended on mosr parts of the island when we gained independence in 1921.

i however bare no grudge against modern british people.why should I? they have done nothing to hurt me or my family,to boycott their goods would be ridiculous. the past is the past,the people who subjucated my ancestors are long dead. the only way you get over it is by moving past it,and embracing the future.

also how about the 10s of millions of white americans(if not more),who are descended from white people who came to america long after slavery was abolished?.the italians,jews,irish etc who came to the US at the turn of the 19/20th century,fleeing oppession and hunger. should their ancestors feel guilty too,for something they had no part in?

as for rev wright,does no one else find it slighly ironic that the guy is clearly of largely white ancestry?!
