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?!

@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?"
