The term Black Irish was a term of abuse of poor Irish immigrants in the latter half of the nineteenth-century. It refers to the necessity of many of these immigrants taking menial jobs perceived by whites in the USA to be the preserve of Negroes (Blacks). It came about as a result of English/Protestant prejudices imported to the USA by the early colonists who saw the Irish as uncivilised and Catholicism as anti-everything for which Protestantism stood - freedom, democracy, capitalism etc. etc..
