Irish people of colour can’t breathe without being verbally and physically abused, both online and offline. The whole country is riddled with white supremacist rhetoric in the name of ‘patriotism’. We’re all culpable. That’s the whole point. Stones. Glass houses. Notions.
Watching Free Staters speak about the bonfires in the North with a sense of glee and moral superiority, as if their own south of the border aren’t burning immigrants out of their homes and accommodation just does not sit right with my spirit, no harm.
