Irish Obama

Obama is wonderful and discovering he is Irish is just icing on the cake! The song "No one's as Irish as Barack Obama is so fun!

BARACK OBAMA

Message for msday of RI

To answers your question yes there where American Scottish Irish Spanish decent slave owners and yes in Britain some Irish were persecuted that why some fled to the west Indies and to America. So my point was that black people now with slavery ancestors was more likely to have Irish British Spanish blood running through their veins. Why would you have the opinion that i have an chip on my shoulder i was just stating fact and history unless your history is different from books that i have read. I am also of black mixed British decent.

Go Bragh President O'Bama !

Thanks to Irish angels who worked way back by destiny's design to grace EIRE and US with O'Bama as blessing for ALL creatures. Let us give thanks for new learnings coming; perhaps ones that onlt be intuited...PEACE, Irish/US citizen by ancestry

is it true that %80 of the irish of so called pure bloods have african dna.

"I think people forgot about slavery, let me remind you that some of the owners of slaves were from Irish decent and yes i know from some of your comments that few of you have selected memory and don't want to talk about the rape of slave women,yada yada yada"

Robin Russell, let's not forget that not all of those relationships were the result of rapes and you should learn a little more about history. The Irish during that time were not considered "white" either and the ones who were here were sometimes indentured or overseers. Black men also raped slave women in the hopes of pleasing their masters so lets stop playing the blame game. You didn't live during that time and neither did I, so lets deal with the here and now.

Society was very complex during that time and unless we have a first hand account of everything or actually experienced it, although it saddens me to hear of that portion of history, you cannot put a chip on your shoulder about it. What is wrong with being the hope and the dream of the slave and using that anger to do things they were unable to do. If i were white and had to listen to that ---it all of the time, eventually I would hate you as well. It's old Robin!

Obama's rejection of his mother

I have to agree with Patrick Flaherty. I happen to be mixed black and Irish although my mother was black. After hearing of his mother who educated him and held onto him during the sixties when being a white woman with a biracial child was probably filled with hateful events, I desired to know more about her. I could care less about those people in Kenya who did nothing for him. I want to know about this spirited woman because in my eyes, she is the real hero.

Irish???

Irish pride gone mad...., as it so often does with its over-the-top boisterousness. Give me a break.
