      Enjoying my time in Ireland. Visited County Cavan where my ancestors were evicted from their land in 1845. That forced them to come to America legally so they wouldn’t starve. Pardon me if I reject the “white privilege” scenario if applied to my family.pic.twitter.com/gecXRy60YJ

      That’s more than 150 years ago. Please don’t try to argue you’ve experienced oppression. We have a sitting congressman whose skull was fractured for the audacity to want to sit at a lunch counter, vote, and be recognized as fully human.

      OReilly is literally trying to say he hasn’t/doesn’t experience privilege in his own country because the British Empire pushed his ancestors out. Mine were, too, but there’ve been a couple world wars, global economic restructuring, and thousands of other changes since then.

      And why my ancestors left Ireland, however unfair and tragic, is part of my family’s history—not a part of my life’s present. I (and OReilly) have never lived in a time when being Irish limits his life in America.
