The C Word (Celtic)

 

Closing the Comments on a Facebook post

"...on the path to Sudbury Plantations."

A photo of a fence line in the snow, modern property line with a wire fence

  Beside a row of stone, carefully stacked and “lacey” as they say,

With spaces between the stones,         

  Some say for the wind to blow through,

Some say for spirits to pass through,

Some say to make up for a lack of stones in a Sheep Fence

 

Of course the "fence" would have to look like this in order to be "legal," back in 1600 and something:

   The C-word shows up after someone comments:

                 “Mystery is, who build (sic) them.”

And you reply “Most likely built by Indigenous People.”

And the C-word is dropped when the person replies,

 “Some say that it was the Celtic people.”

And I think “Here we go again!”

(You see:)

Some think it was Vikings and Phoenicians, working together and alone,

Some are positive it was the White Knights of the Holy Grail

Some think it was those people in the Donovan song from

“Way down below the ocean (where I wanna be, she may be),"

A giant red-haired cast of characters with lots of teeth and a very light complexion to choose from,

With no bona fide empirical material evidence and a long history of hoaxes

And lots of wild speculation about "Lost Civilizations" that are a bunch of Graham Poppycock...

 

"Harmless," one might think,

But there are those who happily insisted the Celtic is actually Aryan

And we all know about them

And here we go again, adding "Neo" to that name, making the same claim.

And someone begins telling you that this isn’t in any way racist…

 

   My advice is, that if one doesn’t want people to think you are racist, then quit repeating the things that racists say…
