Why the hostility towards Black people?

The Irish have a lot in common with the Blacks. They were called white n*ggers by the English. Up until the 60's, there were signs advertising work baring the message "no blacks, no dogs, no Irish".

The Italians too were looked down upon as a lower class of people.

Us Irish, Italians and Blacks have got to stick together. We have a shared history of persecution from a shared enemy.
