Like clockwork.
Black Irish people raise their voices to talk about racism and their racist experiences without mincing words.
Racists come out to tell us about how our lived experience in Black skin couldn't possible be real because of how nice Ireland is. Oh..ok. thanks.

Guys guys, let's not waste this momentum in Ireland. Let's find out where we are bleeding right here at home and mobilise!
How do we target these?
Direct Provision, racist slurs, microaggressions at work, Discrimination in school settings.
We're angry, ok, what's next!

Yes! THIS IS HOW PATRIARCHY WORKS!!
When you get married, they ASK “who gives the woman away?” And that’s exactly what they mean, they are handing you over to your next owner.
That’s why we should challenge these norms and attempt to opt out or change how we engage with it!!!
So I will take permission from my parents and still take from my husband?

It isn’t offensive, It’s RACIST and yes it does reflect the views of staff—- as it’s written by member of staff.
& since he is STILL a member of staff, you are definitely NOT “deeply committed” to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

This is the worst “love” story I’ve read on here. So perfectly older generation Nigerian marriage. It’s a fun cocktail of religious naivety, dishonesty, manipulation, repression, a dash of misogyny and an unsuspected dollop of psychological abuse ✨
Yay for 35 years ✨
Kola (72) and Wunmi (60) have been married for 35 years. On this week’s

I really really dislike terms like "New Eiré" / "New Ireland" - when describing Non-native Irish people in the arts -
it's still so..... separating - mahn they grew up here. They are already visibly Black or Brown; don't further distance them with language.
