Last year Boni Odoemene, Leon Diop and Femi Bankole of The Black and Irish Instagram page joined forces with Amanda Ade to create The Black and Irish Podcast on RTÉ. Together, the four hosts held conversations with inspiring individuals, exploring culture and identity, along with the struggles and successes of the black Irish community.
Now in it s second season, the four are exploring the finder details of growing up as black or mixed raced in Ireland; disucssing the difficulty of balancing duel identities, and the recipes, music and culture that their families have kept alive at home.
However, with visibility, often comes hostility.
When RTÉ News contacted people to speak on camera for the second part of our series on racism, which looks at Sport, the Arts and Media, one artist representative said there was no chance they could speak on the topic.
The interviewee we were seeking had been getting death threats. It was a life-or-death situation, I was told.
The artist in question has been living in fear of going out in public, such is the level of online hate.
This is the daily reality of some people living in Ireland in 2021.
Sports personalities have also experienced an increase in racism online. With the Olympics just weeks away, Team Ireland has been clear, there will be zero tolerance for online hate towards those representing Ireland.
