Growing up St. Patrick’s Day didn’t mean much to me. Wearing green, and green cookies and cupcakes for desert at school. As I got older I joined my college’s Gaelic Society. As a member of the NYPD I joined the Irish-American Transit Police Officer’s Association. They were the first group to ask. I regret that I was never able to march in the parade in New York. I would be able to show my pride as An American, an MoS and a person of some Irish descent. I also saw St Paddy’s Day as reason to get very drunk. Religion was not a big factor despite my Catholic education.
As I get older I celebrate as a sign of protest. For decades we were told that America was founded by white slave owners. Whites are nothing but racist and the world would be better without white men in power. Whites lose out on scholarships, financial aid, college acceptance, jobs, promotions, and contracts. And in the media; forget about it. Whites are portrayed as racists, idiots, dolts, nerds, and cucks. There is a black face in everything. Even in a show set in France in the 1700’s there is a black girl in a powderd wig The left wants to tear me down. But I refuse. Every March 17 and every other day of the year I will be proud of my European ancestry and so should you.

I am proud of my family’s heritage. When my family arrived here from Ireland, in the Army we went. We worked our asses off, not taking a handout from the government and fought in a couple of Uncle Sam’s wars. Everyone should be proud who they are and where they come from and most of all be proud to be American without the hyphen! Every March 17 and every other day of the year I will be proud of my European ancestry and so should you.
