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..

Yes there are. People will say that if someone is black they cannot be Irish. The Irish people, even white people, are made up of peoples from many different countries, so Irish people can be traced back to many countries and races. So a black person born in Ireland is just as Irish as people born in Ireland whose origins come from Scandinavia, Spain(where the very first Irish people came from over 8000 years ago), Britain and the many other countries that come to make up Irish people. By now there are black people being born in Ireland to black parents who were also born in Ireland. Skin colour does not decide nationality and the vast majority of so-called Irish people that are white, are not of one ethnic race. There are many famous black Irish people like the footballer Paul McGrath or the singer Phil Lynott.
