The Irish pulled up their boots and went to work. Unlike a certain other faction that demand reparations, have been given every opportunity to better themselves through affirmative action and other programs and STILL can't make anything of themselves.
The black immigrant experience was different from Italian, German, Jewish, Irish, and almost every other immigrant group.Today, in consideration of Saint Patrick's Day, a look at the journey of the Irish in America.
The Irish were the first ethnic minority in American cities, and their history shows the classic pattern of new comers to the urban economy, and society. Starting at the very bottom of the urban occupational ladder, with the men as laborers and the woman as maids. Housing was far worse than urban slums today. Thomas Sowell, "Ethnic America," chapter one.
"The French sociologist, Gustave de Beaumont, visited Ireland in 1835 and wrote: "I have seen the Indian in his forests, and the Negro in his chains, and thought, as I contemplated their pitiable condition, that I saw the very extreme of human wretchedness; but I did not then know the condition of unfortunate Ireland...In all countries, more or less, paupers may be discovered; but an entire nation of paupers is what was never seen until it was shown in Ireland." Slaves in the United States had a greater life expectancy than peasants in Ireland." The West Awake: Barry Clifford: The Democide Of Ireland In The 1800's
1. I wonder if any saw the 2015 film "Black Mass," based on the 2001 book Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. Pretty good flic....but couldn't show the depth of the corruption....
So I picked up a copy of Howie Carr's book, "The Brothers Bulger," same topic.
It is the story of arch criminal, serial killer, and gangland boss, 'Whitey' Bulger, and his brother, political boss, Billy Bulger, in Boston.
But, today being Saint Patrick's Day, this is not about Whitey...but about the Irish.
In the tale, Carr recounts a history of the journey of the Irish, fighting to succeed in a new land, and doing so on their own.
By that, I mean without the "help" of the Liberals, as that "help" was applied to African-Americans.
2. Ann Coulter writes: " It was the misfortune of black Americans that they were just on the verge of passing through the immigrant experience when damaging ideas about welfare and the lenient attitude about crime took hold. It could have happened to the Italians, Germans, Jews or Irish, but luckily for them, there were no Liberals around to “help” when they arrived.
a. In fact, black Americans were doing better in individual pursuits than many immigrants. Barone compared their American journey to the Irish: “Both rise smartly in hierarchies (government bureaucracies, the military) but haven't fared as well in free-market commerce.” http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/941114/archive_013670.htm
3. As to the Bulgers: "Their father, James, was raised in Bosnon's North End, where many of the city's Irish immigrants initially settled,....the Bulgers were poor. As they grew up, all of them, even Whitey, would seek jobs with the government. The Bulgers distrusted all types of private enterprise, perhaps because of a railroad accident in which their father, a third-generation laborer, caught his arm between two boxcars and had to have it amputated.
A straw boss explained that a one-armed laborer was of no further use and fired him. The railroad calculated the wages due him- up to the time he had fallen, mangled, to the cinder bed- paid him, and forgot him.
James Bulger Sr.'s predicament was a common-enough predicament in those days. Many Irish politicians wee raised in homes where the father was either dead or maimed after an industrial accident.
At that time, there were no disability pensions, no workman's comp, no doles of any sort. Life insurance was for the wealthy. If you were unable to work, your family was consigned to a life of poverty."
Carr, Op. Cit.
a. "After the accident, the Bulgers drifted from one apartment to another in Dorchester until 1938, when they heard about a new public housing project in South Boston called Old Colony Harbor, the second such public housing project in the nation." Ibid.
4. "Permanent, federally funded housing came into being in the United States as a part of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Title II, Section 202 of the National Industrial Recovery Act, passed June 16, 1933, directed the Public Works Administration (PWA) to develop a program for the "construction, reconstruction, alteration, or repair under public regulation or control of low-cost housing and slum-clearance projects...".
Led by the Housing Division of the PWA and headed by architect Robert Kohn, the initial, Limited-Dividend Program aimed to provide low-interest loans to public or private groups to fund the construction of low-income housing..... between 1934 and 1937 the Housing Division, now headed by Colonel Horatio B. Hackett, constructed fifty-two housing projects across the United States, as well as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Atlanta's Techwood Homes opened on 1 September 1936 and was the first of the fifty-two opened." Public housing in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poverty, the open animosity of earlier immigrants....."No Irish Need Apply".....
Sounds familiar.
In fact there was no federal legislation.
All it took was sheer volume.
When the Irish became the majority of the wage-earners in that part of the country it was they who snapped the whip.
Until they (the Irish mill hands) went on strike and Portuguese were imported to take their jobs and the cycle repeated.

1. "I grew up in segregation," says New York Times best-selling conservative author Shelby Steele, "so I really know what racism is. I went to a segregated school. I bow to no one in my knowledge of racism, which is one of the reasons why I say white privilege is not a problem....Racism is about eighteenth on a list of problems black America faces." --Angela McGlowan, “Bamboozled: How Americans Are Being Exploited By The Lies of The Liberal Agenda,” P.38-39
2. And the reason Liberals hate Ann Coulter....she nails you professional whiners:
Thrilled with their role as ‘white friend-of-the-blacks,’ many found that they could actually make a living at it! The part requires sneering at nonexistent racists, and memorizing one line:
“Goddam it, this may cost me my career but I’m going to speak up for racial equality and let the chips fall where they may!”

Uhhhhh YOU started this thread. It's about racism.
Who's the simpleton ?
Read the book White Cargo, it will tell you everything you need to know about the plight of the Irish in America
White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain’s White Slaves in America

I live in Mass. Do you want the real story of the Irish?
Cliff notes : other minorities took their place on the shit list . And once the Irish were in power , they were just as bad as those who discriminated against them .
Oh . And you can hide "irish ness". Many irish changed their names to avoid discrimination.
Ann Coulter writes...
There is still residual hatred for the British among hard core Irish descendants. From the Roman times to the end of the 19th century the landlord British treated the Irish as a sub species. After the British starved them out during the potato famine, the Irish that emigrated to the U.S. were used as cannon fodder in the Civil War. Far from becoming bitter the Irish overcame hostility and abuse and racism. The myth of the fighting drunken Irish still persists even in the unofficial logo of the Notre Dame football program. (the fighting Irish) even though most of the team is Black.

And....if you missed my point....you're the simpleton: all you can do is bloviate about imaginary 'racism.'
Here's why:
1. 'Democrats are heavily dependent on the black vote. That’s an opportunity for the GOP.
The black vote has become important enough to the Democratic party that a small drop in support could make a big difference.
in the 1992 election, 13 percent of the Democratic vote came from black voters. In 2014, it was 23 percent.
If there'd been a one-point swing from Obama to McCain in North Carolina in 2008, McCain would have won the state. And if the black vote in Florida and Ohio in 2012 had been as strong for the Republicans as it was in 2004 -- in the pre-Obama era -- Romney would have won both."
Democrats are heavily dependent on the black vote. That’s an opportunity for the GOP.
2. "...what would happen if a smaller percentage of blacks turned out:
- At 90 percent black turn-out, Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes slide into the GOP column.
- At 75 percent black turn-out, Pennsylvania’s 21 electoral votes go Republican.
- At 70 percent Michigan’s 17 electoral votes turn from blue to red.
- At 50 percent the GOP collects Delawre’s three electoral votes.
I don’t know what a realistic number to project is for the effects of angry black apathy, but I’ll stop at 50 percent. It may be that going as low as 75 percent is unrealistic. Most likely it’s impossible to say. (And this doesn’t take into account things like congressional districts where black voters make the margin of difference.)"
Do Democrats need the black vote? | RobertEmmet
And this is why the party of slavery, segregation and second-class citizenship for minorities suddenly....after blocking every civil rights bill.....including every anti-lynching bills....suddenly saw the light in 1964.
Now...post how you have learned the truth...and you'll be on the road to not being a simpleton.
BTW.....I taught you this....too, didn't I:
Obama is the first President never to have had a year of 3% or better economic growth: "...annual growth during Obama’s “recovery” has never topped 3%. By comparison, it never fell below 3% during the Reagan recovery. And in the nine years following the 1990-91 recession, GDP grew faster than 3% in all but two. Heck, even Jimmy Carter had some strong growth years." http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/with-gdp-downgrade-obama-growth-gap-expands/
a. "The years since 2007 have been a macroeconomic disaster for the United States of a magnitude unprecedented since the Great Depression." Obama: Always Wrong, Never In Doubt
b. "....first president since Hoover to never have a single year above 3% GDP growth." Obama economy is 'amazing,' says hedge fund billionaire
I can't hear you!
Ann Coulter writes...
First off Ann Coulter is a hack pulp writer.
Secondly, it was of great advantage to Irish immigrants that their Brythonic brethren had been represented in seats of power by the time great waves came here as refugees of the famine--casual discrimination, and economic hardship notwithstanding. They were able to assimilate with relative ease.
Andrew Jackson's parents were immigrants from that land, after all.
