I went to Nigeria and didn't see many Irish, go figure

He was brilliant in The Guard, himself and Brendan Glesson worked so well together , he's showing irony - some americans have it you know

Because he went to an area that basically only speaks Gaeilge! (Our native language). He was very much welcomed here when he came, everyone loved him!

Lets be real guys, he went to Conamara. Not exactly a culturally vast area. If he had come to Dublin he would have seen loads of other ethnicities.

Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy was the coolest black Irishman ever

Being irish is something to be proud of..irish people are welcome in every corner of the world because they are good people.

Not a lot of black people in Ireland? He obviously didn't go to Balbriggan.

Oh for Pete's sake, doesn't anyone have a sense of humor anymore? He was kidding.

Nothing annoys me more than the belittling of Ireland being portrayed as an enlarged 18th Century village.

part of the reason we have stone walls is because the ground can be very stony, the stones were dug up to make the land easier to farm and it made sense to use the stones as building material

I love Don Cheadle. It was an absolute honour to get War Machine into an Irish movie. And Connemara is about as "real" Ireland as it gets. Beautiful part of the world.

Haha, it's funny how this was 2 years ago, and Don Cheadle jokes about wearing drag to win Oscar, and now Jared Leto's done exactly that.

In case you're wondering.. he was in Ireland making an amazing movie called The Guard. WATCH IT

0:13 ''Not alot of Black people though'' *Dundalk has entered the chat*

I fail to see the equation [not made by Cheadle or O'Brien by the way] but by the commentators here that having a small ethnic population = a racist place. The low ethnicity in Ireland is down to historic migration not racism. The majority of black people who came to the UK came on invitation in the 1950s due to the UK having near full employment. Northern Ireland didn't have full employment so few, if indeed any of the migrants settled there. As a result, those who followed in the 1960s didn't go there either because there was no black community in place. In the 70s-90s the reasons for not settling in Northern Ireland were obvious. Some have come her in the 21st century but Northern Ireland, while by and large a very nice place to live, remains the most economically slowest of the UK's 12 regions. Add to that a relatively summerless climate [compared to England, Wales and south east Scotland] and there is little to attract ethnic minorities here against other more attractive places in the UK where a population of their ethnicity already exists. Even the Eastern European population is now heading into a recently steep decline. In Eire the economy was on the ropes in the 50s and 60s and the main problem it had was retaining the natives from emigrating to Britain, USA, Canada and Australia. Again it's only really since the 90s and the celtic tiger that Eire has held appeal for people from outside Ireland to live. Today Eire's overwhelmingly largest foreign population remains British [born in Britain and moving to Ireland as opposed to being Irish with British national identity]

He didn't see black folk cos of where he was ..he was in the bog land part of Ireland sure jaysus there ain't even that many native irish there lol...

As Tommy Tiernan said 'Irish people are the vanilla in God's ice cream van'

I'm Irish as fuck, and I say come on over lads xD Forget the fucking racists, they look for these videos and leave their fucking rubbish here.

"This is not as black as I was told!" LOL

Oh wow. Europeans aren't black? Who would have thought.

Isn't it unusual that an ethnically caucasian country would have a mostly caucasian population? I've never been to China, but it would seem odd to me to see more Chinese people there than black people. I expect India to be mostly black as well. Because if a country isn't at least 50% non-natives that's unusual and probably racist.

Phil Lynott is from Ireland!

I love the fact that a top man like Don Cheadle made a film in Ireland, I’d say he has a lot of time for Brendan Gleeson, who is my favourite home born actor, up the Irish 🇮🇪

Yeah I had this problem in the democratic republic of de Congo, I couldn't find any whites! Like WTF? Is the Congo racist?

jaysus americans will get a shock coming to dublin after watching this

I didn't find a lot of white people in Nigeria neither...

2:09 I like how the girl in the crowd laughed so loud

HEADLINE : Don Cheadle to play Conrad Murray ... Cheadle : I was joking, I was drunk ... NEW HEADLINE : Don Cheadle not taking life serious due to Alcoholism.

He should go to Dublin....

He probably went to one of the most rural parts in the country. If I went to the rocky mountains, I wouldn't see a lot of different nationalities either

Well u went to Galway, which wouldn't have a lot black people. Go to Dublin and you'd many cultures and race, obviously white people are the dominant race in Ireland, but in my school for example, there's about 67 different nationalities, and there's certainly a lot more black people in my school. So.. yeah.

Best comedy i ve seen , Go on on Don. Love from Donegal.

That's not a bad thing tbh everyone should be able to preserve their culture and identity without having to be forced to be replaced my people that look sound and behave nothing like them

He clearly didn't go north of the border

Time to move to Ireland.

he was great in always sunny!

2 weeks ago my grandad knocked down a piece of the fence separating him and his neighbours back garden and then he built and wall around their garden but making it smaller because technically he still owned about 12square metres at the very back of their garden. Now he can access his farm through their and he got back a tree house he built 68 years ago because his next door neighbours house is his childhood home

Well, Ireland really, only, ever communicated with the United Kingdom up until the 60's, because they used to own us... With not a lot of modernization and the Catholic Church ruling us until the 80's we were an extremely secluded society. And so, not many people, of any race, besides Whites lived in Ireland. Even now, we're a pebble compared to other EU countries; if people wanted to migrate to other countries they certainly wouldn't choose here. In my secondary/high school there was only 20 black people.

Everytime i see any video of a black actor make a joke about race i alwayd dread reading the comments ._. ,

Don Cheadle Show 1. Brother Faith - The Simpsons 2000 Movies 2. Al G. Rhythm - Space Jam: A New Legacy 2021 3. Kenny - Rush Hour 2 2001 4. Emmit Reese - Volcano 1997

White people, let's migrate to Africa, Europe has diversity! I think it's Africa and Asia that still need it! 😂😂

I'm from Galway. I wish that bullshit about the rocks was true...

Lol this was funny, Don was drunk.😂 .... Ireland is gorgeous and friendly... Dublin, Galway, Cliffs of Moher all such beautiful places to visit.

He looks like a little person beside Conan

drunk cheadle still a better actor than 87% of hollywood..

If there's ever an Incredibles live-action movie, Don Cheadle would play Frozone.

Imagine saying that shit about the stones for an African country

boy how the times have changed

I would prefer to live in the boon-docks of any country in the West rather than the city. I have been living in a metropolitan area for 5 years now and I don't like it that much. Of course, values wise I tend to agree more with city people but I am definitely more of a down to earth, slow and steady wins the race kind of person. I miss long walks in the woods, the clean air, and stars in the sky.

why did he have to mention that there are not a lot of blacks in Ireland.He should go to bleeding Dublin.

There is alot of black people in Ireland especially in galway bit he wasnt in galway city he was in connammera where most Irish natives live

I wonder why Rwanda doesn’t have a lot of Irish ?

"Not many Blacks...". Mamma Mia, how things can change in an astonishing brief period! About 20% of the Irish population now comprises people born outside Ireland. People with African ancestry/born on the African continent now feature in every aspect of Irish life, the arts, music, sports, TV, even a few becoming fluent in the Irish language and their children attending Gaelscoileanna (i.e.., schools where all.most of the teaching is in Irish).

ive always said it, for being born in the south and being a black dude...DAMN can he throw on an amazing british accent. love his movies. amazing actor.

I'M FROM CONNAMRA AND LIVE RIGHT BESIDE WHERE THEY FILMED

Did they find a lot of white people in Nigeria?

i need to move to ireland !!!!!!!!!

I’d love to say that about Germany.

This guy played in Iron Man, didn't he?

Happy B-day Don Cheadle. I love Space Jam A New Legacy, Volcano and Rush Hour 2. It's super awesome. Volcano is a good movie. I love learning Science. Science is so amazing. Space Jam A New Legacy is kool. I love Basketball. Good sports. Love this guy. May the Peace be with u Don Cheadle. From Harlingen Texas. November 29, 1964 November 29, 2022 through November 29, 3022

There's a huge brazilian community in Galway just to take advantage of generous social programs

Im English and Williams aswel, nice to meet part of the family.

Well Don, obviously you didn't go to Blanchardstown.........

Finding a black guy in Ireland is like finding a white guy in the Apollo.

That laugh at the ending

ireland has loads of black people, just not in the countryside

I'd be glad too-amazing actor.

I love The Guard. Fun film, not sure too many Americans saw it.

He didn't go to Rathmines or the South Circular road in Dublin then .... one is Nigeria .. .the other is Mecca.

Spot on. I am actually from Ireland and Don is completely right there are very little black people here at all. Every one I know who is black I've met at university in England. But what I mean is usually black celebrities (eg: Jamie Foxx/ 50cent) are a lot more expressive and outgoing people. It has nothing to do with "being polite", I just mean they have a lot more pizzazz in their personality.

Don Cheadle Will Always Bwe The Shiznit. Lovable

Jackson is actually a really popular N.Ireland name.

Ireland is a very small country , under 5 million people live there..

that girl who laughed alone at the end lmao

That's funny! I went to Dublin in 2016 and I was surprised by how many black people I saw.

Thinking about going to Ireland in 2020 .....

Galway ,conammara is the most Irish place in Ireland so it's natural that he didn't see any black people got to Dublin and you'll find plenty

Also, youtube 'Jimmy's winning matches' its the Donegal GAA final song. That black guy knows Ireland.

He said Williams and Stark in the same video. get it, Arya, Maisie

2:08 that laugh

I bet we got him drunk and he had the craic 😝

I saw a picture of him in spiddal in Galway in a restaurant with my family & now I know why they had one of him

This guy is at every award show every year and I've never seen any of his movies., except for Red Planet

I’m Irish and there’s a black lad from Nigeria on my college course.

The lead singer of thin Lizzy was black and irish

Cheadle drunk after visiting Ireland

A black person can just about get away with making a joke about drag to win an Oscars. Just about. Imagine if he was a wealthy, white, middle aged man instead of a wealthy, black, middle aged man.

Hey, I'm from Galway

Don't really understand the American reasoning behing this criticism of Ireland (You see it frequently on reddit and places like that). It's meant to make out like we're backwards and not diverse or something. The truth is that the majority of black people in America are there because their ancestors were slaves. That's hardly something to boast about. I'm very glad that Ireland doesn't have the import of African slaves as a part of its history.

Plenty of Black, Asian, Eastern European, Indian, African, Brazilian and Middle Eastern people here in Ireland. Trust me, I see them every day here in Dublin. They mix it up and are Interesting people to interact with too. Always welcome. ....

He probably means that because England has lots of black people that he thought the rest of the UK would as well, but of course Americans don't know anything about geography.

yeah well I didn't find a lot of white people in Nigeria either

i like how conan always manages to bring up ireland when he isnt even irish, everyone has to have a gimmick right/

I think it was reference to particular scene in movie.

That’s like Conan landing in Kenya and saying there aren’t many white people here.....

He literally said, “ that particular part of Ireland” not the whole place 🙄

dress in drag and they will give you an oscar.. very quite true.

*if, not is. They guy never mentioned Don acting "educated" or "having class." He just said "white," and you assigned those values to it. I'm just poking fun, but it's a valid point.

Conan is awesome

Went to Nigeria, didn’t see a lot of white people there
