We Irish are not Know Nothings. We know something important: what it’s like to be feared, to be discriminated against, to be stereotyped. We know from our own family histories that anti-immigrant hysteria is founded on lies. And we know that, over time, those lies are exposed.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Chris. It needs a letter on the end:

I downloaded the podcast from iTunes. The article sounded a tad bias.You don’t have a New York City without the Irish. I wonder how the Ditch feels about that Thanks again. I hope the tag is right
ReplyDeleteA tad biased? Really? The Bowery Boys have paid significant attention to the Dutch.
