Hate on the Eastside [a true story]
We were driving on Tucson's mostly-White Eastside when we saw it, in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood.
Our innocence was immediately shattered. What started out as a great day suddenly turned very ugly. There, before our very eyes, was an often-mentioned-by-Jewish-groups "hate symbol." Fear gripped us. Sweat poured from our brows. Our hands trembled. We wanted to flee, but were frozen in terror; all avenues of escape seemed blocked. Our fate appeared to be sealed: death from fright, coronary or other.
Yes, there, there, painted on the wall of a house, was.....was.......a large green shamrock! Oh, the hate! Oh, the evil! The humanity!
We urge, urge someone reading this to call a major Jewish group and report this evil racism at once! We would, but we are too shaken by this event to speak -- we can only type. Hate-crime charges should be brought against the owner of that home immediately! His house should be seized and sold by the government, with the proceeds from the sale going to a Jewish group so that they may teach Americans about tolerance -- like the tolerance Jews show when they try to ban Christian symbols from schools, city halls and other public venues.
Yes, folks, we must stop this hate at once -- really. The very idea of a White person being proud of his heritage! If it was a Mexican flag, or a Black-power symbol, sure, no prob, but a shamrock? Oh, the hate...you would think that Whites built this country...

Franco, you're not alone. Here's an article by a minority woman who feels the way you do... :)
After the Flag, On To the Shamrock
By Elizabeth Wright
One of the lessons that most Americans appear too dense to learn is that wholesale capitulation to the demands of minorities leads only to demands for more such capitulations. The furor over display of Confederate flags is a case in point. Once the anti-South crusaders have won this battle in the culture war, they will march on to the next encounter, in order to cleanse what they perceive as the symbols of white Euro culture from this country.
In Massachusetts, the Boston Globe reports that there has been a directive (either official or unofficial) issued to personnel of the Boston Housing Authority, suggesting that the age-old symbol of the shamrock be removed from public places. This familiar Irish emblem, a herald of Irish-American pride, is now being equated to the swastika (the same symbolism used against the Confederate battle flag), and is a point of discussion in "diversity training" sessions held at the BHA. It seems that in these sessions, some minorities have revealed that the sight of the shamrock flying from flagpoles and hanging in windows "bothers" them or makes them "feel uncomfortable."
So far, the order has not yet been given to forbid shamrock flags from being flown from windows or as part of displays. Boston City Council President James Kelly accused the BHA of fomenting anti-Irish bias and called the diversity seminars "a course in hating white Irish Catholics."
From the Flag, onward to the Shamrock. What's next? Since the traditional song "Dixie" is publicly banned in most parts of the South, perhaps a ban will be instituted in the North against the playing or singing of "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling."

The shamrock is primarily a Christian symbol representing the Holy Trinity. By labeling the shamrock a hate symbol the ADL are not just spitting on a White group but also on Christian heritage.
