I visited Ireland, as a black woman, muslim and wearing headscarf I was a bit worried visiting rural areas of Ireland, everybody was really friendly to me and smiling and welcoming I was overwhelmed by their kindness, I visited Belfast and lived there for sometime I was dearly welcomed, I made friends for life. I love my Irish people

[@sentimentaloldme]

You will always be welcomed to our beautiful land...Indeed the first Muslim to be elected to Dáil Eireann was from County Clare.

Never judge a book by its cover as the saying goes. You open it to what is inside. I am Irish, Catholic. My girlfriend is Thai and Buddhist. But we are humans. I never judge people on their skin colour , religion or gender.

[@edwordcomic]

The IRA trained and gave weapons to the PLO. as well as Nelson Mandelas group SACP. The Irish will always help the underdog,

[@edwordcomic]

and the IRA is proudly affiliated with Antifa.

I met Muhammad Ali on that day in Ennis and i skook his hand that moment will stay with me for the rest of my life

[@Freestylssz]

E Gleeson I will forever be jealous of you

[@EmruAlqais]

E Gleeson Met too, I shook hands with the champ in 1988 when he visited my home city Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I still cherish that moment and proud of it. He's really the Greatest Boxer Ever with Intellects and Quick-Wittedness. not sure though if he is really from Irish roots but if that's so then no wonder his Irish & Black genes for sure contributed in his endeavors. Bless you Ali.

[@tipusultan8953]

+E Gleeson You lucky brother.

[@EMGL33]

+Tipu Sultan Thank you it was a great moment

[@SuperAnimelover100]

[@paulflynn7032]

Ennis and it's people are beautiful, combine that with a visit from Cousin Ali and you have a great video. Thanks.

[@boshirmh007]

irish and black two great combination both with there own struggle. god created this man for great purpose. and this is why the world loves himand will forever, because he brought people together from all walks of life. how many people can say they are and loved and cherished in all four corners of the globe. only "mohammad"( the praise worthy).

[@thespy7795]

+ThUrT EilNo If you notice many Blacks have Irish last names. Not because of Slavery, but because the Irish were treated HORRIBLY in America. Many signs read: "No Blacks OR Irish" Irish men MARRIED Free Black Women thus the African Americans with names like: McMillian, McBride, McDougle, McNabb, etc. Many people do not know the horrible way the Irish were treated. They have lived peaceably with Blacks since the founding of America.

[@boshirmh007]

Anthony Freeman yes i heard about the irish slavery, but compared to the black, they had it worse in terms of nombers.

[@gergemini2993]

+Anthony Freeman yes you are right! history does not reveal the true horror the Irish experienced for centuries under British rule and the slave trade! the Irish were cheaper than the African slaves thus the British just brought a number of blacks and cross bred them with Irish females and that provided a constant crop of generations of slave's... so basically generations of children were born into and died in servitude! then of course there is the matter of genocide during the GREAT famine!

[@PSNloversalu]

+ThUrT EilNo what? this is the first time I heard about Irish Slavery?

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

They were indentured servants, not slaves.

[@richcamel6937]

now that's what you call peoples CHAMP !

[@abuthalibalmuhdar4589]

i wonder what within Ali head, 29 years after his last fight, he lose that fight, now he barely even move, but much more people love him so much. what an amazing man

[@paulbasq]

RIP 'the greatest'. Well done Ennis!

[@mjw12345]

Great video! Great to see excitement and welcome for this brave African-American-Irishman. Clare is an interesting place-Daniel O'Connell from Kerry and Dev from Brooklyn both were elected by Claremen as MPs/TDs. Then,I think a South African of Indian ancestry was the first non-Caucasian elected to the irish parliament. It suggests a fine tolerant generous people. Something indeed to be proud of in a world of intolerance.

Gorgeous work Colm!
