This really has gone far enough
In the past you have mounted campaigns against entire communities and races, describing Muslims in general as potential terrorists and British Pakistanis in particular as "implanted cultural" perverts.
Now you have turned on the Irish, describing them as hate filled anti-British zombies poisoned by their biased education system and comparing their "brainwashing" to what happened in 17th century Salem, Massachusetts; you have included Irish Americans in this attack.
"Not surprising when generations of school children have been brainwashed to believe Britain should be blamed, keeping hate alive. Irish schools at least since 1922 and NY State schools since 1996 by decree. Massachusetts?"
You have excused a notorious account of the Irish from the racist 'Punch' Magazine, as being "not racist", so presumably you believe it to be an accurate physical description of my predecessors
"A creature manifestly between the Gorilla and the Negro is to be met with in some of the lowest districts of London and Liverpool by adventurous explorers. It comes from Ireland, whence it has contrived to migrate; it belongs in fact to a tribe of Irish savages: the lowest species of Irish Yahoo. When conversing with its kind it talks a sort of gibberish. It is, moreover, a climbing animal, and may sometimes be seen ascending a ladder laden with a hod of bricks.
-Satire entitled "The Missing Link", from the British magazine Punch, 1862 "
Your mate had described those who were forced to flee the Famine, again my predecessors, as:
" a combination of indolence, ignorance and intransigence the necessary changes were actively resisted
This latter included the Scots who wre forced to flee Scoctland in similar circumstances in that description.
This is not only racism run riot, but it is an open attack on very many members of this forum
My family originated in Ireland - they were refugees from the Famine.
Many of my family`members received ad are still receiving Irish educations, aunts, uncles, cousins, and their children and grandchildren.
This is also the case with native Irish and Irish Americans who contribute to this thread - so your arguments are directed at all of us.
To back up your arguments you have concocted a theory based on historians you have not read (admitted), and cannot possibly their views on these matters.
The irony of all this of course, is that having accused the Irish of inbred hatred, you display more personal hatred in a handful of postings than I have ever encountered in a lifetime of arguments and discussions.
If I feel the anger that I do about your racist attacks n me, my family and my neighbours, I cannot begin to imagine how a Muslim and especially a British Pakistani would feel if they stumbled on one of your racist diatribes.
I have always admired the cosmopolitan nature of this forum and have been grateful to read and share views with people from other backgrounds, cultures and races.
I don't believe there are any Muslim members of this forum - little wonder!
Should you be allowed to persist in your efforts, Mudcat stands to be turned into an exclusively W.A.S.P site.
Should the administrators of this site consider closing this thread, I request that it be left open long enough for it to be appreciated in all its full glory before doing so.
As a footnote, I have just been informed by a kind forum fairy that someone has set up a fake Flickr account (I don't have one) on my behalf containing Irish military memorabilia - it seems to be the level of intelligence these things operate at.
I firmly suggest to those in charge that, should you attempt to indulge in racist and cultural attacks such as these in future, especially when they involve other forum members, you should be stopped immediately and, should you persist, that you be barred from membership of this forum altogether
