The comment section is flooded with the usual folks from the wood works debating my nationality confusing the difference between nationality and ethnicity. 🤣🤣
Was surrounded by too many union jacks had to break out the tricolor...
Fun fact this flag has been with me on every tour abroad. I got it before I made it onto the teams.
@Irishmen1798
never claimed to be ethnically Irish. Learn the difference between ethnicity and nationality, I may have chinks for eyes but it doesn't take 20/20 vision for one to see I'm not ethnically Irish ya door jamb.

This is like the 6th time this photo has blown up and people keep telling me Congrats 😂 Thanks lads but this was like 5 years ago. I even had someone comment on my acne 😂😂😂
@AbolishDirect
It's rather funny to me that this photo is like 4 or 5 years old now and still to this day whenever it makes the rounds on twitter it blows up again ahahah
@brookereilly_x
oh hey you again, yer wan who can't comprehend the simple concept of two things can be true at once & couldn't understand the difference between Ethnicity & Nationality, what's in that noggin hun? A fog horn? 😊 Wonder why she hides behind a fake profiler🤭🤭
I love how fixated some of these spring loaded door stops for people are, obsessed with my race & nationality and proceed to say I'm eroding the Irish identify. The echo chambers they create for themselves is so funny and they think their logic works or affects me🤣🤣
Lads I would like to remind people that this post isn't political, I am simply a man who is proud & sentimental of this flag I've carried for 6 years. While yes there is complicated history there regarding the Tricolor & Union flag, I'm an athlete, we build bridges to heal.
Fun fact, I usually get told off quite a bit for folding the flag using te triangle fold. Yes I'm aware the army & etc do the rectangle fold and the triangle fold is American but the reason why is for easy of transport. is travel & compete a lot. The triangle fold doesn't unfold.

pmsl🤣This made my morning hahaha. Unfortunately I came home with silver.
The Tricolor never fails give us that extra push when we're abroad on tour.
Go raibh míle maith agat a chara
The mental gymnastics these people go through, one accuses me of being an anti white genocidal racist, one I think challenged me to a fight whilst spouting nonsense? and well the other one is...unoriginal??
@batbor2
If I remember right (cause this was 5 years ago) yes, except only after being back home, I have a strict no over seas guinness policy, it's rancid abroad.
Lads I also need to mention cheers for the wishes and etc, I just need to mention that this is from a month ago. Our tour ended on March 28th. Cheers for the best wishes though I'll pass em onto my students and team members
this is the flag that was in that picture of mine. I can't remember how many places it's been with me to but it's been with me for 6 years now & to every competition domestic & abroad. Yes it's in a triangle fold because the triangle fold doesn't unfold itself as easily.
@Farrell_Mairead
@AnnaNiChearuil
That's a gross violation of what is allowed on the flag and just a pure lack or respect for the tricolor. If you truly cared about the tricolor you would've known this is disrespectful to the flag, goes to show you only care about attention from political 'stunts'. Do better TD.

My brother in satan you are wrong, it's derived from the Gaelige 'Éire', meaning land of fertility/ abundance, also dervived from the Goddess Ériu from Irish mythology. Get it right
One of the most vital skills I've probably picked up over the years through competing & travelling (& later would absolutely benefit the army life) was my ability to take a 'tactical nap' absolutely anywhere, anytime & anyfucking position. Hurry up & wait 😂😂
@gardainfo
only 34 arrested? What about the one's who are on social media with their faces or names of them breaking into places, making terrorism and violent threats? Those who stole and advocated for the death of any Public Service member and people of color?

@theamberdaisy
man learn the difference between Ethnicity and Nationality. No one is going around claiming I'm ethnically Irish or white. I am proud of my ethnicity and I am damn proud of my Nationality.
I am a Dubliner and this my 19th time being harassed and then assaulted by a large group of teens. When will people cop on and realize the problem isn't external.
I had people ask me whether they'd see me competing in Taekwon-do on TV and I laughed. Ireland one of the best at Taekwon-do in the world and yet our own countries media does no coverage on it. Not even a whiff of it much in newspapers let alone TV...it's not GAA soooo...
The moment Gold officially came home as both teams lined after the semi final, we dominated all three bouts in this round. Bringing Ireland 3 more gold home in the Senior Mens Black Belt Sparring division.

@7thTimeCharmer
you focus on that shite rather than the actual underlining issue of whether our govt will ever actually be able to look after the young, us & the old. No fixate over my skin colour & the fact of whether or not I'm NATIONALLY Irish. Man I fight for this country, Many wouldn't (/6)
@7thTimeCharmer
I would, I would be very concerned because if that was the case this country has 1 of 2 / both problems:
1) The ROI population is 5.1 mil, to entertain your ''idea'' the majority ethic is 76.5 Ethnic Irish, that's for round number sake 3.9 mil.
for that to be a minority, (/1)
If this whole racism regarding Adeleke & what I've seen in my comments has shown me is that the bigots & Racists seem to really not understand the difference between 'Ethnicity' & 'Nationality'. Like goddamn learn the difference & context.
@7thTimeCharmer
At the end of the day, I couldn't give a rats arse about your Opinion of me, my Nationality, my ethnicity or etc. It doesn't bother me, I've taken this shit on the chin my whole life & will continue to. More positivity exists than the loud minority fixated on me bleedin race (/9)
So my post hit 9k and made its way being reposted all over Facebook. And being the Internet in typical fashion alot of racism. I'm used to it though and frankly don't care I appreciate all of your support.
@7thTimeCharmer
...issue. You focus too much on this pointless arguement of countless hard working immigrants who care for & love this country over their identity cause of a shit few. When the Irish were treated like shit overseas, they earnt their identities, fought for em...
(/5)
@7thTimeCharmer
...you would be looking at such a fucking population increase that this country could not handle at it's current rate or function due to successive failure in government on issues like housing, archaic outdated laws & etc. You would be looking at a population greater than....(/2)
With what??? Men who are glorified sticks? The only thing lethal about NK troops is the amount of BS medals they wear that could be potential shrapnel when they get blown up by a 120mm...
people really be asking why a woman needs to wear a groin guard... Clearly have never done a combat sport or been kicked in the groin, male or female wise...
So I ordered a new belt & I sent in a picture of my old one to have the same stuff embroidered & to get a larger version of the Irish flag on & a pic of the flag. THIS IS WHAT THEY SENT ME...I can't make this shit up....
@7thTimeCharmer
...pre famine Ireland. SIGNIFICANTLY greater than that. 2) The government has either continued to failed my generation so bad with the cost of living crisis that our generation & all young people emigrate elsewhere like we see now but on a greater level...
(/3)
@7thTimeCharmer
...I know plenty of what you would focus on, ethnic Irish people who couldn't give a shit to fight this for this country. I love this country so much I stood up, if Russia invaded tomorrow I would give my life alongside my colleagues for the people of this country. (/7)
@7thTimeCharmer
the government is failing young people in issues on housing, living, wages opportunity, forcing young people to fuck off and become immigrants. My generation love this country but this country doesn't love us enough to try & keep the future here. That's the more important (/4)
There is one thing in common no matter where you compete, no matter the circuit or country: it's the hurry up and waiting. I had 4 hrs between two of my divisions and honestly fatigue kills you way before anyone else does.
@Sarahjdublin
All Im saying is the same men have such fragile egos and small dick enery that if you threaten em with the auld strap on they whimper away in utter fear 😂😂 Stay strong chief, fuck em (not litterally obvi) fuckimg door jambs the lot of em'

oh has he? he's been obsessed with responding to everything, he's desperate enough to scroll 3 yrs back in my account to take something out of context to ''support his argument''. I been laughing so much.
If I had an euro everytime I was cycling or walking home from training or teaching in uniform and there was some feckin' eejit who wanted to be a hard lad who wanted to have a 'I fought/beat a blackbelt' story. I'd be 7 euros richer...
@PointSimian
TKD politics is such a mess in the US(as if tkd politics isn't already). But in Europe and the rest of the world, ITF style is bigger. you'll have some countries who have a big WT/F presence due to cold war politics. Would Highly recommend Alex Gillis' book The killing Art.
Further footage of migrants being beaten by citizens who claim he attempted an abduction in broad daylight in the middle of Dublin’s O’Connell street 😳 The man says they are lying, he never tried anything of the sort. Row ensued 😳

in the end do you care about my answer? probably not, but I don't care spin it however you want, upstanding people don't go around dividing people further, that's what those in politics want, to divert our attention away from the actually pressing issues. (/8)
@rtenews
as a son of immigrants who spent my life competing under the tricolor, I remember the first time a post of me under the tricolor went viral the racist heckling and abuse I got was demoralizing. However the love and support I received heavily out numbered the hate. Go Adeleke!!

This man deserves a raise.
I couldn't help but laugh the bridge trogadites this post dragged out in the comments.
Faves so far:
''...you fucking colonisers...''
''...Race baiter...''
''...ungratefull gimmigrant (?)...''

What happened last night on the streets if Dublin, wasn't protesting, it blatantly was domestic terrorism. Talks of gangs going out & ''killing any Gypo, Foreigner'' aren't protests in the name of the victims on parnell street. That's hijacking a grief to fearmonger & terrorize
I don't understand how people expect young women to NOT be terrified for their lives. This year marks my 15th year in TKD, I'm a 2nd degree blackbelt & have fought internationally & I still get nervous when I see a massive group of teenagers especially lads. Educate your kids.

ehhh...no I don't? There's cases of this? It'd be different if he was claiming he was ETHNICALLY Chinese. Granted you'll have mainlanders who would be very racist about it & often unintended because of how closed off from the world china was because of the CCP.
A friend & I spent 2 weeks of agonizing pain & late nights organizing a fundraiser for the family of a student that passed. We pulled off the impossible & so far raised 2.6k. Her and I were balling our eyes out in disbelief when we broke 2k...

People who are getting really worked up over the DF's transition from IDPM to IMTP(MC) because 'we would get confused for other forces abroad' forget that some bitter child soldier or militia member who has never left their village doesn't give a shit what camo we're wearing.
