L00b Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Not sure I've suggested otherwise .. Your (short) reply in the (much broader) context of the post you were replying to (quering the collaboration of 'Ireland', not 'the IRA' or 'some Irish') suggests that you were positing that Ireland had been collaborating. Hence the ensuing posts. Call it a simple misunderstanding, then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The Irish welcome the Queen yet bang on about an apology for the wrongs of the past. Do the Irish forget that they colaberated with the Germans in ww2. Yet again is it the black Irish and the White man's guilt. When will the Atonement end. You forgot to mention that a few thousand Irishmen fought and died for Britain during WW1 and WW2. What's with the "black Irish" bit? They are a white Aryan people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish are a mixture of several races comprising of Celts, Gaels, Danes, Anglo-Saxons and Normans as well as Iberians.
