"How the Irish Became White" By Noel Ignatiev

Noel Ignatiev's book "How the Irish Became White" has everything to do with why #Irish people support the #Palestinians and Americans of Irish descent support #Israel.

Treason to Whiteness is Loyalty to Humanity

Finally getting around to reading Ignatiev's "How the Irish Became White". Considering how big it (and he) loomed in the circles I came up in, it's hard to believe it took this long. I wonder how much holds up after almost 30 years?!

Acceptable Men: Life in the Largest Steel Mill in the World – Noel Ignatiev

@TheMorrigan @FloydyStu Regarding the discussion of #SuellaBraverman & #PersonalityDisorder: There is a known phenomenon where a 1st or later generation/s of an immigrant family (See #NoelIgnatiev research esp "How The Irish Became White"& also #US #MAGA supremacy attitudes) who project 'getting back' at 'someone' following own experiences of #Discrimination #Racist bullying by acting out on a newer generation of #Immigrants #Emigrants. There are plenty examples related to deep childhood #fear.

Great piece by the recently deceased #NoelIgnatiev, (thanks to #DavidRoediger):

"I find Douglass’s electoral efforts uninteresting, just as I find uninteresting today’s debates over whether socialists should take part in elections... He was flailing, and knew it.

"But a strong case can be made for Douglass when we shift our ground from his electoral to his non-electoral activities: what did he do when not electioneering?"

Frederick Douglass, John Brown, and the Virtues of Impracticality

In a lengthy review in the New Yorker of David W. Blight’s recent book, Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom,1 Adam Gopnik calls Douglass “the progenitor of the ‘pragmatic-progressive’ strain in American thought that led to Martin Luther King and Barack Obama.”2 Douglass is an attractive figure, and it is easy to understand why he fills the need of American mainstream thought for a Black political hero now that George Washington Carver (the one Black figure in the textbooks when I went to grade school) no longer serves. But the notion of “pragmatic progressive” suggests an alternative tradition, which we might call “impractical revolutionary.” Nat Turner, John Brown, and Malcolm X come to mind as exemplars.
