'Yes, I'm Irish': Meet Jeff Keogh
Рет қаралды 193,571
7 жыл бұрынJeff Keogh was born into a mother and baby home in 1965 - ‘having a black child in Ireland at the time might have been a heavy scene’, he told us - and while growing up in Ireland wasn’t always easy, he says his experience was mostly positive.
We spoke to Jeff as part of ‘Yes, I’m Irish’, a video series focusing on the experiences of mixed-race Irish people. Watch the full series here: bit.ly/YesImIrish

I'm about this guy's age and I had to do that once - for locking another kid's bike to a fence at the swimming pool and running away. I feel as if it was a common form of discipline at that time, but that may just be because my Dad made me do it. And he only had to make me do that one time.

I know in my children's 2 schools that parents take a similar approach and racism is not tolerated. My husband is dark skinned and my children mixed race and we have taught them not to tolerate any racist comments. I am Irish and I can say from my experience if a racist comment has been made around me or my friends it would not be tolerated. I understand the hurt of "you're not really black" causes as my husband experienced such comments in spain and I hated to hear it as my children are half ecuadorian.

I too love the Irish accent. I should do my ancestry. I was adopted by my own father and raised elsewhere. I have such a love for bagpipe music. I sometimes wonder if I have Irish in me. I was born in Michigan and raised in California. I need to find out.

Black's and irish partied and dated each other in the new world circa 1840's , 1850's. The two most oppressed groups at the time.

This is true. Jamaica, Montserrat and other Afro-Caribbean islands have strong Irish cultural influences. Slavery brought the African people by force to the West Indies and Indentured Servitude brought the Irish under indebted obligation to these same lands.

I have always wondered why white English folks would hang that sign on their doors reading: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs back in the day. Why were they so anti-Irish ?

Irish is a nationality and ethnicity
@blowme5258 3 жыл бұрын
@@danielcarthy9250 Nationality meaning: 1. the status of belonging to a particular nation. 2. an ethnic group forming a part of one or more political nations. Ethnicity meaning: Ethnicity is considered to be shared characteristics such as culture, language, religion, and traditions, which contribute to a person or group's identity. Nationality and ethnicity are basically the same so again there are no "black/African Irish"

Some Irish people might like to deny Irish people of different cultural heritage part of their identity/Irishness. But Phil Lynott is the only musician/writer to have a bronze statue in Dublin and is recognised and embraced as one of Ireland's greatest and most beloved.
