I’m not sure if I agree with him wholeheartedly…
BUT I will say, Irish and black has been virtually thee most common interracial mix out there historically…
Irish and black have mated, married and procreated with each other A LOT going back centuries… and no, it wasn’t always rape neither… many times it was consensual…
sometimes Irish felt like they related to blacks a bit due to the fact Irish used to be heavily discriminated against up until the 1900’s despite them being white because of their country’s history….
They were never treated as harshly as blacks obviously… not even on the same playing field…. Don’t get it twisted
I remember learning I had quite a bit of Irish ancestry on both my mother and fathers sides of the fam going back several generations…. I’m still like 80-90% black but yeah them Irish folks loved the men in my ancestry and from what I heard from my elders, it wasn’t a result of rape nor slavery. There was actual love and marriages involved
So I’m not gonna shyt on Coogler For saying what he said and I don’t think he was pandering or c00ning I think he just didn’t word nor explain this well…. Her didn’t do a good job communicating his point
