But God through his word the bible does not say that? What God say in his holly word are not the way man feel about others but how he feels about a man that fears of displeasing him. Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. Aramaic bible in plain English Psalms 112:1 Blessed is the man who is in awe of LORD JEHOVAH and takes heed to his commandments. Romans 2:11 Acts 10: 34-35 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.

I get this ethnic pride coming especially from Europeans. There is a tendency to equate nationality with ethnicity since in Europe most countries derived their names from some sort of ethnic group or cultural group. The Danes, the Irish, the English. But you know if you delve deeper maybe the name of the groups that originally made up Ireland wasnt even Irish. I would need to do more research. But at any rate, we have a country or nation-state now called Ireland. The argument Europeans seem to be making is that foreigners are not Irish even after they become citizens. I guess that would be fine in so far as Irish is being equated or reduce to a label for a particular ethnic group or culture. Also, in so far as being Irish in the state of Ireland does not confer any unfair advantage against other citizens. From that standpoint, I think they will understand it if you just said, Ms. Adeleke is a citizen of Ireland. @wayhep31

She should've represented her folks native Nigeria. I'm UK born but If iI was a professional athlete, I wouldn't represent England in any capacity. Only Jamaica my parent's origin.

This is on the runner at this point. She needs to change the country

[@yinkmarc2]

So sad to hear. They need to go back to history when their ancestors were discriminated against and how the citizens felt.

[@chrisv.noire.6388]

My friends. To the Irish, being Irish is an ethnic identity, not a national identity alone. i would completely understand that if i was her. In Africa we have ethnic identities...for example I am from Zimbabwe and my identity is that i am from the Shona tribe, and from the Shava clan. A white Zimbabwean, born in Zimbabwe cannot be a Shava because ethnicity is tied directly to ancestry. Not to nationality. The Irish have a proud ethnic history. Its not a sin for them to be proud of their ancestry if we are allowed to be proud of ours. We stand proud of our black identity then get triggered the moment white folks are proud of theirs. The Irish were not our colonizers...they themselves have been colonized by the house of Windsor.

[@albertwaigwa8652]

it seems to me that you, like many indigenous Europeans in recent years , confuse Patriotism with Nationalism.

[@chrisv.noire.6388]

@@albertwaigwa8652 Its seems you think semantics are an actual lived experience not a contrived category that only exists in your head. Have you even the slightest knowledge of Irish history, or the psychology of a people who were oppressed by an outsider because of who they are? They calcify around their shared history, their unique cultural identity and to them, the pain of their past, the blood of their ancestors that paid the ultimate price trying to shake of English domination means to them to be IRISH is more than about being born within certain borders. As a black man i may have been born in China(many blacks are) but you'd be hard pressed to find a person of another race represent China on the world stage. Nor will you find a non-Indian do the same for India. Nor a citizen of Russia but a member of another race represent Russia on the world stage. The United Kingdom can have different races representing them because they conquered and colonized different racial groups and made them part of their commonwealth. The Irish in particular did not participate in the colonial project so their identity is deeply rooted. Its not always about race. Sometimes its about ethnicity and i hope you know the difference betweeen the two.

She should have represented her own African country. People are tired of seeing other people in their spaces. Same way AMERICAN BLACKS are tired of seeing AFRICAN and others calling themselves us.

[@fredbantu3694]

Which africans call themselves Americans ? Do you speak for all American blacks ? Stay in the US while the whites are going to africa.

Not Irish.

[@danamcroberts1405]

There are millions of people in America who claim Irish identity. White people were of no notable number until the latter half of the 18th century; they were picked up off the streets of Dublin and other Irish towns and both sold and indentured into slavery from the age of three -years on up. The younger you were, the longer your service as a slave in America. Some never got out of it. You should check and see what forefathers such as Washington, Franklin, and Henry thought of these people; and the names that they ascribed to them, e.g.: outerscour, white trash. There are several more. They eventually became acceptable members of American society in the 20th century. How do you take it upon yourself to decree a hard-working, obviously smart and educated, Irish-born, champion-status young woman " not Irish "?

This is Ireland we’re talking about. The problem is people don’t know the history of these places or don’t want to know. Then act surprised when “said” people do what they’ve always done. This might sound cold, but I don’t feel sorry for the sista, she got a wake up call. Truthfully, a lot of our young people across the Diaspora need one. They need to start loving and appreciating themselves instead always looking outward for acceptance. Self Identity, Self knowledge, Self Revelation-C.Freeman El.
