Maybe if I scream loud enough, the problem will resolve itself.

I remember seeing them perform this live on my campus.. My jaw dropped within 10 seconds.

Yo people reblog this and write your weirdest fear in the tags. I’m interested to see what people say

Light is hitting your body at 186,000 miles per second and we don’t even feel it.

Only commenting on this because I have (secondhand) experience with some of this. I actually don't know much Irish history, but I do know a little bit about the history of techie Irish in America. (This is relevant to this movie, but I feel many people don't know this). So Americans have a history of prejudice and racism, but not just against people of color. It was at its peak during the twenties and thirties, Americans were /extremely/ nativist and we're quite harsh toward anyone who was not a natural born Protestant.The Irish were were literally looked at as people of color (Partially because they were immigrants and partially because they were Catholics). One of my dad’s uncles or cousins who was born in a small town, since his family was fully Irish, his birth certificate said “not white” (seeing as the only options were white or not white), and he went his entire life having to put on any official document or application that he was not white. During the 1910′s and 20′s, while the prohibition movement was going on, it was seen as an attempt to enforce the beliefs of white Protestantism since many cultures used alcohol in various ways. This movement was supported by the KKK as well. Alcohol was seen as a bad thing because it was something that was associated with cultures such as Irish and German, and people did not want these cultures to start to integrate into American culture. When prohibition was enacted, many Irish and German people lost their jobs because they owned bars/pubs or produced/sold alcohol. My grandparents came to the US in the 1950′s, another time of a lot of racism (it always occurs after a world war because the whole “american pride” thing has another side to the coin). Now, at that point, the view of Irish people had pretty much become white in the eyes of Americans, and it was only by this point that most (yes most not all) of the “No Irish need apply” signs were gone. However, still living in the US at that time would have not been as great as it all may seem. Although I’m a third generation Irish living in America, I will still identify with my culture until the day I die. I do not know their struggle, and I will never understand, but you bet your ass I’ll defend my ancestors’ right to claim their struggles. 

no bro
