Ireland Rising: When “Come Out Ye Black and Tans” Takes On a New Meaning

The uprising is organic, local, and working class. As far as militant street activism goes, the Irish are leading the way: thousands of natives marching against their replacement, families protesting at the hotels full of economic infiltrators, disused factories set aside for fake refugees made uninhabitable, rental properties boldly spray painted with “Irish Only,” and the mass chanting of “Come Out Ye Black and Tans” against the unwanted, foreign throngs thrust upon an enduring nation.

For those not in the know, “Come Out Ye Black and Tans” is an Irish nationalist song. Black and Tans refers to the Royal Irish Constabulary. The British Crown used them to suppress Irish nationalists, often brutally, during the 1919-1921 Irish War of Independence. These militarized police and other auxiliaries were often veterans who had been psychologically fashioned by the horrors of The Great War.

The chorus of the song is telling:

Come out ye’ Black and Tans!
Come out and fight me like a man!
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders!
Tell her how the IRA,
made you run like hell away . . .

The original Black and Tans were so named because of the khaki-and-black colors of their uniforms. The new Black and Tans are aptly named because of their vast ethnic distance from the population they have been forced on. Now it’s the Somalis, the Pakistanis, the Turks, the Nigerians, the Bangladeshis, and the rest who are being used to overwhelm the Irish nation in yet another attempted destruction of a European people. Considering their sheer quantity, criminality, and that they are near all young males, the intent is to finish off the Gaels for good this time around.
