Should bring tears to everyone's eyes. I hate that this happened to people, but I am thankful and happy that our parents generation did something so we didn't have to witness the continuation of it. This world has been through hell for many years past and will continue for years forward.

Maybe people in the UK and Ireland need to check out Spinkies link before commenting. "Bloody Sunday" is usually thought of as something entirely different over here - Spinkie is posting a link to something in black history in an entirely different struggle

That just shows how many people actually ignore the links (me included oops) also we need a history lesson
Bloody sunday in Northern Ireland was in 1972, 38 years ago
I apologise for my part in the thread hijacking, Everyday i thank god that the world I live in is torelent of every race. I couldn't imagine living as a black person back then in America. However it shows just how far you have come, a black person is now the most powerful person in the country and (whether you agree with his policies or not) that a great thing

30 years of rebellion against a despicable crown will never come close to what britain did to Ireland, 1690, 1845-1848, Bloody sunday are just a few examples of why your governments horrific campaign of terror will never be forgotten, This is not a pop at any of the decent british people, This is solely at the british empire. Your countries reputation is scarred for life after the what your empire did during colonial times, The penal laws where cruel and barbaric, They were a deliberate attempt to deny people there dignity and to educate themselves, Why do you think the irish language died out for so long? I don't blame any of the brits of today though if that's how i come across but i won't forget the horrors that went on here. Your royal family should be removed after the destruction it has cost around most the world.

It hurts me badly watching that, It reminds me of horrible times that i experienced in crossmaglen when i was a kid, The ira shouldn't have done what they did but your government created the monster inside of them, The way catholics were treated in the north after 1916 was disgraceful, No catholics could get a job and they were forced to flee there homes because loyalist mobs burned them out. Nobody can justify the violence that happened but if you look back on history it was expected, People died for nothing but this could have been avoided if winston churchill decided to give us back all Ireland, I know for a fact every decent british citizen would want a 32 county solution, Unionists and loyalists stand in the way of making history and finally putting it to bed.

In fact most British people believe self determination.
66% of the people of Northern Ireland want to stay part of the UK, with 23% want to be part of a United Ireland. So to unite Ireland would be against the populations wishes and expressly against the ideals of democracy and what both countries, the UK and Ireland, are built on
