What is interesting about the recent IFP controversy involving Dr Mehari Fesseha, is that, realistically, he became unpopular very quickly in the anti-mass migration movement because of his ethnicity, even, in truth, the colour of his skin. I cannot speak for anybody’s motivation but it strikes me as likely that some people just didn’t want to get lectured on immigration by somebody of obviously African descent.
Anyway, so the question can be asked, is this always wrong? While in truth its got to be immoral a lot of the time to have this instinct, because all human beings remember are made in the image and likeness of God and hence should always be accorded an innate respect, but is it always immoral at all times to think this way? Maybe, but here are a few thoughts to argue against the above proposition:
Pawns in ongoing anti-Irish discrimination
Its interesting that in reply to this controversy, where Dr Mehari Fesseha misspoke on some matters, Hermann Kelly came to his defence to say that: “It’s easy to distort anything with a short clip of a guy not speaking his own language [he was speaking in English].” Which incidentally is the same defence we heard when FF Councillor Azad Talukder told Limerick Council that protestors should be ‘shot in the head’. The question arises though, would it not be better and possible for the IFP to get advisers sufficiently fluent in the language spoken here as their immigration spokesman, and could the FF organisation in Limerick propose and elect a candidate equally fluent in the native language so that such misunderstandings couldn’t arise?
Of course they could, so the suspicion has to be very strong, that these people are appointed to such positions for DEI (‘Discrimination, Equality and Inclusion’) reasons, as virtue signals. In otherwords they are appointed as part of this ongoing discrimination against Irish people, and surely thats what we are, and should be, fighting against? So there are good reasons to be suspicious of these appointments and candidates and, unfortunately, instinctively oppose them?
Unknown candidates and appointees
While it might be played up a little bit, nonetheless there are criticisms to be made I think about the ‘unvettedness’ of many of these new arrivals. Irish people instinctively when they hear about a prominent appointment, or electoral candidate, will ask if they don’t know already: ‘where is he from’ and then will get the spiel from somebody as to his background, antecedents, his mothers family, and some references to ‘the apple not falling far from the tree’ etc etc! This is normal and is in fact a good thing, its a simple defence mechanism so you don’t accidentally elect an axe murderer or something.
But what exactly do you know about any of our ‘diversity’ electoral candidates or appointments recently, typically the electorate know precisely nothing about them, or their ethnic background, real beliefs or relatives etc? Yemi Adenuga, the recently appointed FG electoral candidate in Meath West, it turns out is very unpopular among her Nigerian compatriots, but do or did the FG organisation in Meath know anything at all about her background in Nigeria?
So its not unreasonable to be instinctively a bit suspicious about some of these appointments or candidates, the unknown is a negative if these are sensitive positions. Also what do you really know about the cultural and religious background of many of these candidates? It is true that Mohammed had a very young wife, the Halal procedure in killing cattle should be gone into if anybody has any care for treating animals properly, Pakistanis seem to have a very serious problem of inbreeding, and many other Asian and African practices are well worth getting to know a bit better before you should endorse candidates from those backgrounds?
Another related point about knowing your candidate/appointee is the simple one of how they come to be in Ireland? Not a few seem to have come to Ireland from safe countries or just manipulated the student visa and other systems to their benefit (frequently with very enhanced social welfare entitlements to boot) but all too often its never gone into or explained properly by these candidates/appointees. If they, or even their parents, have started out by fraud like that on such a serious matter why should you believe them on other issues?
The Analogy of Ulster
But maybe too we should get to the real core of this question, of the permanent immorality or otherwise of ethnic discrimination. This writers grandfather told me that years and years ago when he was very young, the elections in Cavan were really just religious and ethnic headcounts, the Catholics and native Irish voting one way and the Protestants of English or Scottish descent the other way. Obviously in some shape or form, and in some parts of Ireland particularly Ulster, this discrimination (frequently based on surnames, and even first names) is still the case now and has been so for centuries.
Well then aren’t these all immoral bigots so, shouldn’t they all be excommunicated by their respective Christian Churches? But there is more theology that needs to be examined here I think. To a large extent the native Irish of Ulster are fighting a centuries long quest to stay alive, in the sense of preserving their ethnic and religious background in the face of ancient confiscations and more recent discrimination. The elections then are, in a sense, still a fight back, a kind of legal war against an aggressor. Christian theology absolutely allows, and encourages as a duty in fact, even warfare against an invader.
I think in the numbers and short time in which these immigrants are now coming to Ireland, that word ‘invasion’ might not be so out of place. Also discrimination against those of Irish ethnicity, analogous to what happened to the Ulster Irish, is pretty widespread now and there is much talk that they will enshrine such discrimination in law soon enough, as they have already done in much of Europe.
So just like the Ulster Irish have done to preserve their ancient heritage, and religion, for centuries, should we fight back now, batten down the hatches as it were, and unfortunately (and again without straying into immoral actions) look upon other races in Ireland as in a sense, the invaders and hence the enemy?
Conclusion
Anyway I just thought I would throw this out there, and I totally acknowledge that there are many wonderful immigrants to this country from all kinds of nations, but as they say, war is hell. The degree and speed of mass immigration into Ireland is increasingly giving parts of Ireland, like much of Europe, the aura of a warzone, and in that environment are the Irish not entitled to gather around now, and look out for their ethnic brothers and sisters, like the other races do?
