It seems some posters are missing the point, perhaps purposely. If a white entertainer made similar remarks there would be calls for his or her head and demands that the label drop them. While this is getting some steam, it's nowhere near the volume it would be at if it was reversed.

Never even heard of her, but that was incredibly inappropriate.

whats not "commonly" known about the potato famine was that ships full of food were dumped into the Thames river at the same time as the famine because the price was not right...


there are parts of Ireland were all you see in pictures are rock and more rocks even house made of rocks lol


The Irish were looked down upon and mistreated as worthless by the English...funny how those same people can come to America and prosper....similar to the "class" of criminals that settled Australia

Thats true, but shes not famous enough in this country for people to care, or call for action, such as contacting her record company and such.

Based on the music videos I just looked up, she isnt doing well. On her Instagram, she is in a habit of trying to stir up sh*t. So if people get outraged and give her publicity, she gets what she wants. Shes proud of being ghetto. What better way to get publicity that to use the outrage of white people looking to turn the tables back?

Its stupid as hell, so is she, and dont think its going to work. Shes a poor choice to use by the flag waving nationalists desperately looking to flip the race card. (not you M)

I guess they have to grasp at straws. So the OP can go ahead and push the agenda trying to point out that a woman that already has nothing should be ruined, lol.

Maybe the OP can research to see if Jay Z dressed as a leprechaun in whiteface, and try to bring him down!

I highly doubt that the Irish ever thought they were being oppressed by black people, they wouldnt care what she said...not for very long.

BTW Im sure there are artists making racist or off colour remarks while doing shows, or on instagram, but they arent famous yet, so we arent hearing about them.

Harry, it doesn't matter if she's doing well. If it was reversed she could be a school student, a blue collar worker - anybody - and the SJW's would be calling for her head.

And no, the Irish don't think they were oppressed by black people - the whole point is the double standard that exists where SJW's are concerned.

I thought maybe I had an inkling of who she was until I googled her, no idea who she is. I think I'm confusing her with a couple other people. I did watch her video & I really couldn't make out what was going on. Apparently this whole thing stemmed from a fight she got into with someone at the airline & that's when she went off on the irish? Talk about a knee jerk reaction. I did have to laugh at "inbred leprechauns", just because I find leprechauns to be funny.

Hasn't paid off for "journalists". Alas, if only they had learned to code.

Yes, the SJW's do go overboard much of the time. But as long as people give them the attention for the dumb things, and in the case of this thread, keep trying to counter it, it will fuel their fire. Because in the end, if the Irish people dont care, who really should?

I never worry about people who can’t even spell their own first name.
