Many people seem to have an issue with saying "Ireland is racist". Particularly when it is said by people who have experienced it, strangely.
So let's try: Ireland has an issue with racism & if we don't do something about it NOW, someone is going to die. Then will we listen? 1/ https://twitter.com/JoyTendai/status/1308500518654877696

On Saturday, a reply to a tweet about the Fabulous #DeniseChaila (who I'm not going to tag cos this is probably one of the milder ones she's received since her appearance on @RTELateLateShow https://twitter.com/WarriorWuhan/status/1307391603045261313?s=20. But no, no racism here 4/
https://twitter.com/SarahRourke9/status/1308122430628671491?s=20 I wouldn't really know where to start with giving a good eg of the amount of abuse @EbunJoseph1 gets, so I'll stick with the timeline of just this LAST 5 DAYS..a reply to a tweet of hers about #AleshaDixon https://twitter.com/SarahRourke9/status/1308122430628671491?s=20 No racism as Éire 6/
I think it's clear there is no racism here. @tweetymonkey 's timeline is a testament to that. 2 days ago: https://twitter.com/SeanOMaoilriain/status/1308147646574538759?s=20
My apologies to anyone that I have tagged who doesn't wish to be, you have alot of shit to deal with on a daily basis. I'm so angry today, so very scared for the future of this beautiful land if we allow the cancer of racism to grow anymore. I hear people speaking up about 6/
their experiences and we as a nation continue to ignore. No, sir, I can't just go "it's just a few on social media" anymore. No , I can't switch it off because while I actually CAN, while I am safe in my skin,the people I love are increasingly not. My SON is not. Racism is 7/
alive, increasing and has been here forever. @Minceirbeoir could fill 3 books I'd say with the abuse she receives. This today https://twitter.com/Minceirbeoir/status/1308478830856863745?s=20. But of course, travellers aren't a race, or whatever, so no racism here....
Houses burned. TD's making openly anti-traveller ,anti- immigrant statements without ANY comeback. Nothing done about verbal abuse. Do not even mention the abuse received on a DAILY basis by #MiaO'Neill @OneLifeIreland1 that led to her death 8/
We need to do more.. Not just for the safety and protection of those at risk,but for all of us. What we hold dear as a nation, what we value; our Céad mile, our friendliness, our sense of community is being eroded by this creeping hatred. #Notoracism #Ireland
I have to add this on to this thread. https://twitter.com/martinbeanz/status/1308733830640041984?s=20. Jesus @martinbeanz . I'm so sorry
