Have you been funnin' us? I really do wonder why Protestant Irish Nationalists are so exceptional that they need a separate wikip page.
Not that it was against the grain or anything, right?It's plain nutwhackers to try to pretend it's a black and white issue. Any manifestation is going to be totally wrapped up in both cause and effect of hundreds of years.
But that changed after Northern Ireland's Catholics organized a large demonstration protesting discrimination in voting rights, housing and unemployment in 1968.
Hold on, are you just "glorious trolling" this thread?
I will do your bidding, as you are infallible.
NICRa (northern ireland civil rights association) had nothing to do with the conflict. People didnt blow up british soldiers and go on hunger strike because of civil rights.
also discrimination against catholics happened because they were nationalists not because they were catholic. Discrimination would have happened without religion.
I was member of the Irish Republican Socialist Party, which was/is the political wing of the INLa (Irish National Liberation army) which was engaged in armed struggle at the time and civil rights had nothing to do with the party's or my beliefs.
