Why do northern and southern people in Ireland hate each other?

∙ 13y ago
The terrible combination of politics and religion has had deadly consequences for some people living in Northern Ireland. Catholics and Protestants have been vilifying, attacking, torturing and killing each other in a seemingly endless cycle which has recently begun to finally end. Ulster, the focal point of most of the violence, is an amazingly beautiful province and currently has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
AnswerNorthern and Southern people don't hate each other. The hate is in specific extremist minorities in Northern Ireland. Half the population is Catholic and the other half is Protestant. Catholics usually prefer to be categorised as Irish and Nationalist (or more extremists as Republican), while Protestants usually prefer to be categorised as British and Unionist (or more extremists as Loyalist).Nationalists want a 'United Ireland' independent from the United Kingdom.
Unionists want Northern Ireland to remain separate from the Republic of Ireland and part of the United Kingdom.
AnswerThe British Government intervened to try to make peace in the past. AnswerI am a protestant and I am not 'English'. I like to categorise myself as Irish. I live in Belfast in Northern Ireland. People from the Republic do not hate us, and the same goes for people from Northern Ireland, we don't hate people from the Republic. There is still some minor violence that goes on, but this is just society, violence happens, bigoted people still exist, look at the BNP in England, it's not just in Northern Ireland.You can be Catholic and British, Protestant and Irish and vice-versa, your religion does not determine where you are from. You make it sound like this is some sort of Iraq situation. It's not. Do your research folks. I live in a very good part of the world, a place where some people would love to live if they gave it a chance.
AnswerThere is barely any fighting at all in Ireland, no hate crimes and quite honestly it's way more peaceful in Ireland than in the USA. I live here and I'm admitting to it! Northern people don't hate Southern people, Southern people don't hate Northern people, they live with the fact that there are going to be differences in the world and don't make a big deal out of it anymore. I honestly agree with the fourth comment you people honestly need to do your research better! High School Freshman.*********************************************
I would like to just add to the above answers. I do not get the impression after living here for 18 months that there is any real hatred from north to south or vice versa. There are some economic tensions that may bring out the ugly side of a Southerner because they have to rely on the stronger economy in the North. But to use the word hatred is a bit extreme. The South is dealing with their own economic crisis at the minute, so if there is any hatred anywhere on this island, its to be found directed at Dublin government! I would also add, there is far less crime here in Northern Ireland than where I came from in USA. I have lived in several countries since I left America in 1996. I must say unequivocally, that the peope of Northern Ireland from both Catholic and Protestant communities are by far the loveliest, most genuine people that I have met anywhere. They are absolutely wonderful, cant do enough for you. And they treat each other really well, considering the pain of the past. Its so lovely to see on a regular basis. Of course there are the elements from both sides that cant rise above their past beliefs, and continue to believe that making noise is more effective than being community leaders; but that does not mean their arguments are invalid, as they are indeed fed up with policing, etc. it will take a few slaps on the wrist for them to really see that they are going nowhere fast. Better for both communities, because the noise makers do a lot of damage to perception of peace. Other than that, I really sincerely believe Northern Ireland is the best kept secret of the Western World. Its so beautiful here, and with the genuine people to match the scenery, what more could anyone want. Hatred? Gone with the Wind!

∙ 13y agoThere is a very long 100 page answer for this question. Northern Irish do not hate Southern Irish. Very few hate the Southern Irish. It is more the other way around there is more Southern Irish hating the Northern because the Nothern were planted there by the British over 800 years ago. Irish land was taken and given to the English. Now it is still owned by the U.K. But thankfully there is little hatried left! There was up to 30 years ago. There may be only a small bit now.

The term "Southern Ireland" is an informal term used for the Republic of Ireland, to distinguish it from "Northern Ireland". It is not an official name or geographically correct.

This question can not be anwsered factual but of my option from living here.Northern Ireland doesn't have that much rasism but has the promblem of prominent sectarianism. Although because there is so few black people and other nationalities in Northern Ireland, this means that people there arn't used to these other races and may see them as alien-like people and become rasist towards them.
