The fact that she is on the verge of tears while reading these girl's stories shows what a compassionate and good person she is. She hasn't allowed herself to attain a huge ego.

What does this speech have to do with Irish Americans?

[@joyoliver6212]

+Lindsay Kearney im sure she doesnt have irish friends. her speech is about muslims. what has she or anyone done for the middleclass americans.

[@lindsaykearney5089]

Okay, I don't see how your comments have anything to do with what I'm saying, but check out her tribute to Inez McCormack or her movie Dancing at Lughnasa to see some of the things she has done for Irish people...

Thank you Ms. Meryl Streep for your speech, what you do and thank you for letting me/us know how difficult and hard is to face the dangers of discrimination! All of us has to know, has to be aware of it , what does it mean, that they pay with their own life. We have to wake up and help to save them in anyway!
