“sad to think [the removal of the bible from public schools in america] was eventually achieved anyway, but that is a modern tragedy rather than an irish one”
what the fuck are you on juilene
the bible should not be mandatory in public schools. not everyone is christian. you only feel this way because clearly YOU are christian. i bet you’d have no problem removing the torah or qur’an if they were manadatory

there’s a very weird feeling comparison between irish immigrants during the famine to the slave trade that i’m trying to fully parse . . . ‘cause like yes, the way these ships were packed full of people is somewhat similar, but osbourne-mcknight seems to be implying that the irish were just as forced onto their ships as africans were onto slave ships which . . . no

i’m finally getting so close to finishing this fucking thing, and all my frustration is reaching a boiling point. not only is this book just a thinly veiled vanity project (no, i don’t want to read another of your little narrative snippets ma’am, i want to learn about irish history), but there are also so many typos - like the one on this page in the literal section header. it’s workhouse, not worhouse

this book, first published in 2015, is really calling native americans indians (and not even in a quote, like the author is saying it) and refering to them as cruel???? like, i genuinely don’t understand how refering to indigenous americans as indians has stuck around (it’s racism) when we all know that they were only called that because christopher columbus mistakenly thought he was in india
