reminder the Irish were historically treated worse than blacks

That's because the Irish themselves were worse than blacke. Damn potato niggers.

Pay reparations for white slavery you filthy sassnach!

Leopold II of Belgium wants to remind you that it's important to talk about timeframe when making broad historical claims like this.

>Every third world country complains about imperialism.
>Ireland was poorer than Estonia in the 19th century and 1/3 of the population was either killed or fled.

reminder that finns got it all even worse. russians are far worse neighbor than anglos ever and even our famines were deadlier.

Reminder historically the Irish were lazier than the blacks.
>tfw you still blame your low population and lack of economic growth on a "genocide" that happened 400 years ago, and a "famine" that happened 200 years ago

>live on an island

>choose death instead

This isn't true. On my grandfather's home island they quickly began working as middle men between English and the slaves from Africa.

The redlegs in other islands in essence thought they were too good for manual labor and as such were basically poor white trash that were so obsessed with puppets that they became incestuous.

In the U.S. they mostly mixed with blacks like the melungeons or formed the first black free families. Or the assimilated into the broader anglophone community.

Blacks quickly lost their ability to assimilate. Irish in the potato feminine were refugees but the Irish before them assimilated readily before hand and loathed the new immigrants.

No body-especially the Irish- give a single flying fuck about this meme, true or not
Also no one here but retarded cunts consider the potato famine a genocide

>>1474412
These pics are top-notch banter honestly. Do you have the others perchance?

>>1475262
Not that I particularly care for it, the Irish famine could be considered a genocide. Genocide is the intentional killing or removal of a specific ethnic group. The British government blocked shipments of food to Ireland from Turkey which would count as genocide.

The famine happened for a number of reasons but no British MP every sat down and planned a way to remove potato. True, they didnt help in any real way but they certainly didn't cause it

>Ireland was the asshole of Western Europe a few decades ago and eugenicist recommended sterilizing most of the population to improve their terribly low average IQ (lowest in Europe after Albania), people used to think they were half-Negroid and their genepool was ruined because of African (!) admixture
>Turned around completely without any real change in demographics, now surpasses former great powers in HDI, productivity and GDP per capita

>Blood is everything you guys!

Why was Ireland a joke for 1000 years and then surpassed all those master race countries all of sudden?

>>1475313
Stopping aid from reaching a country in crisis would count as a genocide or war crime in any other scenario.

But he's right. Ireland is right at the top of most development and quality of life indices, along with the Scandinavian countries.

This is an objective fact that is not open to dispute, unless you think the agencies who compile these metrics are somehow biased

With the exception of the Winter War, Finland has little to complain about their Eastern neighbour imo. The Grand Duchy was a pretty sweet deal and owns anything under the Swedes.

It is difficult to understand ?

They had nothing, they lowered the taxes and let big companies installe in Ireland, GDP increase

The Irish weren't allowed to fish for food by the British government.
