I doubt it, I only posted in this thread to highlight it's stupidity lol.
But it is an interesting point. Have you ever noticed how the media will trawl through a group of kids or adults playing soccer, gaelic, hurling, camogie etc until they find a black or 'chocolate' face among the group and keep returning to that person.
And it’s not limited to sport. For example, I watched an RTE report recently on a crowd of kids rehearsing for a school play and among the twenty or thirty whties, a single black kid. The camera revisited him on many occasions during the report, ignoring the rest (unless you were in his camera shot). The kid loved it naturally - on telly- and just arrived! Was he exceptional – no, except for his colour.
The same rule applies throughout reporting of events - get 'that shot' or that report to reinforce 'our', i.e. their, vision of the future of this country. So what, some might say - what’s wrong with that - nothing - unless you are prepared to support indefinitely the society you are creating.
The British, French, Germans, Dutch and others have gone through this phase - the eulogising of that which is 'non-white' and the demonising of those who question the wisdom of this unwarranted emphasis. If we are to accept an inter-racial future - and I don't - we must learn from our European neighbours that there are those who will eventually return our overfamiliarility with contempt. When the dream of riches eventually ends in a ghetto somewhere west of Dublin, resentment becomes riot.
Will those who put interracial Ireland on 'fast tract' give up their well-paid employment and comfortable homes to the 'black' underclass? No, they will not! The latest riots in France are a statement from those who 'have' that they intend to 'hold'.
It’s not too late for us to acknowledge that we do not have to have a race balance in every undertaking. There are sports that White people are still in the majority and we should be proud of that. I have yet to hear a media hack criticising the almost ‘all-blacks’ teams in track and field events or, increasingly, English soccer. Why would they - thats what they want!
Remember this?
