@ajplus: “If you spoke [Irish], you would get beaten.” @KNEECAP tells @Dena Takruri how the brutal suppression of the Irish language informs their music, and why they think Irish rap resonates all over the world. #Kneecap #Irish #Colonization #Ireland #Rap
Yes and people still try to act like Irish weren’t treated horribly…

Same in Scotland. I got rapped over the knuckles for not speaking proper enough at school. That teacher got away with doing that to children for YEARS.
