From what I understand the modern concept of race arose during the age of colonialism, but before that time, was there any documented accounts of racism against black people by white people?

    I don't think it's fair to say that religion is a red herring. Religion and national-identity had traveled together in Ireland for the entire period of colonization. Increasingly, religion is less relevant to the question, but certainly during the Troubles it was an element of Irish anti-colonialism.

      The only time in history Catholics have been oppressed, and I mean only time, nowadays I really don't give a shit what the Irish think, they aren't oppressed like blacks and are no different than any white.
