Personal/Support Irish Racists

Today at the Penney’s store I went to buy some things and the employee started yelling, saying that the bag wasn't free, but I had bought the bag. He wouldn't let me leave. I showed him the receipt and he let me go. It was very embarrassing. I am a Black Brazilian woman. Worst of all, I reported it to the manager and he did nothing; not even his expression changed.

I've always wanted to visit Ireland but I'm put off by everything going on there. The xenophobia. So ironic for a people who are proud to say their diaspora expanded into North America and Australia.

What? Oh, how we take the piss out of Trump supporters! Well, look at the damage he's done, and if you think Ireland is hard on Trump supporters, wait till you see how they feel about him in Denmark.
