Can't understand why Tommy doesn't push back on some of his points. This young fella seems obsessed with race.

Because Tommy is a member of the artistic community and they operate on a much higher level than the rest of us!

Found it quite interesting to be honest. The conversation was uncomfortable but I thought the lad was very articulate and a lot of what he said is stuff I’ve personally seen or heard of.

You can see from his sigh of relief at the end how stressed he was doing the interview. Had no problem with him, you have to listen, to understand another persons mind.

It’s a terrible place we have here with all this free housing, schooling and college education. Awful people these tax payers.

That’s not what he said at all. We’ve a great country here but there is a racist element in our society.

Exactly. The hard uncomfortable truths of racism in all aspects of Irish society need to be discussed openly as much as possible. Fair play to him.

The elbow contact thing wrecks my head, will spread it worse than going the handshake route.

Boards is turning into a real cess pit.

Good to see Tommy getting a stern rebuke to his ridiculous comment that it's good to see black vs whites games in the school yard.
Gives an unintentional insight into the doublethink that goes by those in the media.

"lost your colour" Good man Tommy

Sam Hain · 16-01-2021 11:27pm

Bring back Brenda. This lad is a dose.

Water John · 16-01-2021 11:27pm

Well the young lad had the ride of his life, while living in Donegal anyway.

He is close to being a Professor, I think getting that far at 29 is impressive.

A Professor of what?

He's a PhD student not a professor.

Sam Hain · 16-01-2021 11:31pm

I feel slightly sick.

Did Tommy get told off?

He tried to claim he didn't ask the "Yeah but where are you really from", when he actually did.

The fella pointed it out to him that he did wrong..

Sam Hain · 16-01-2021 11:32pm

"I took two of my uncles cigars" I guess he smoked one.

tabby aspreme · 16-01-2021 11:32pm

Did he not say he was about to begin work in UCD as an Accociate Professor

I don't think he was referring to Tommy, I think he just meant in general when people ask him that.
