According to blackinsanantonio.com:
Quote:
...Despite what the Irish called the diminutive Twa, they went by another name, the Akan. The Akan are a matrilineal culture, which means that they venerate the Great Black Mother and leadership and inheritance is arbitrated by women.
It turns out that the Leprechauns (Lepr-Akans) of legend were actually people from Africa known as the Akan/Twa. These Twa were diminutive men and women (luchorpn) that grew to a height of about 4'11". They migrated into Ireland many thousands of years ago. The Twa were skilled craftsman and had advanced knowledge of medicine, metallurgy, textile and clothing manufacturing and apparently shoe-making, which Caucasians thought was "magical". So we find that it was the Twa people that have come to be known as Leprechauns...
It is the Twa that St. Patrick "chased out of Ireland". The story of the holiday is actually a veiled attempt to cover up genocide, as St. Patrick lead the charge to hunt these men and women down to kill them.

According to legend, St. Patrick was well known for "chasing the serpents out of Ireland". Now on the outside they make it sound like some miracle that he saved the people from deadly serpents. There is in fact no evidence that real serpents ever existed in Ireland. But if you understand that the "serpents" they are speaking of are really a symbol for something else, this particular plot point in the story becomes a lot more interesting. As will be demonstrated below the "serpents" of the story are an allusion to the people of African descent (the Twa) who lived in Ireland.
