I think Italian Americans really piss the left, especially the Chapo types off, a lot. They constantly mock them and I think its bc they are the only "safe" ethnicity they can mock without being cancelled or whatever. Theres also the fact that Italians are supposed to be like "immigrant trash" types who should side with the left, but a lot of them are really patriotic, right wing, and in general have a macho culture especially up north around that area. I see a lot of leftist angrily bitch about this stuff, like they will see someone with an Italian last name saying something pro trump and then get all butthurt and say "B-BUT YOURE ITALIAN YOUR PEOPLE WERENT EVEN CONSIDERED WHITE NOOO YOU CANT DO THIS!"

Meanwhile America is named after an Italian and our founding nearly mythological founder was an Italian, both of whom are considered evil villains by the left

I'm an Aussie Italian and I agree with you 100%. No one can really go after Italians because as Italians we just don't give a fuck. We are patriotic to the countries that gave us new opportunities like Australia and America. My Nonno supported Australia over Italy in the 2006 World Cup, that's how grateful he is for this country, and I'm sure it's the same for Italians living in America. It's a shame to see this being torn away from people and it's why we need Trump in power more than ever

Yup. My family emigrated from Italy after WW2, and let me tell you, after having lived under Mussolini, they know fascists when they see 'em.

chieflemons 3 points ago +3 / -0

Exactly right! If anyone knows about fascism it's Italians.

My family was the same, after WWII to seek after better opportunity. When my family came here, they didn't get given anything. They were called every name under the sun, copped heaps of racism and discrimination, but just got on with things. They worked extremely hard and built a name for themselves and created a life worth living in a new country. Very quickly, that racism and discrimination they faced turned into appreciation and acceptance. Why? Because they didn't give a fuck about it. They were in a different country, with a different culture to theirs, so they needed to adapt to survive and they did more than just adapt. It's why now so many people love and respect immigrant Italians because 99% of the time, their families worked hard to earn the respect of the locals. They understood that hard work would pay off and amount to a greater life in a country that was far better than their own. It's not like that anymore unfortunately. Everyone just wants everything given to them for free, regardless of if they came here illegally or not. It's like people think now it's their divine right because they came from another country. Like, fuck off. The reason you're coming from another country is most likely because that other country is shitter than ours. You don't come here expecting everything, you work hard and earn it.

It's the same story across the Pacific, for sure! Hard work and perseverance, and earning the respect of the people who gave them the opportunity to start a better life.

Well said!

American of mostly Italian extraction here, can confirm. We're supposed to be the "black white people" (by just about everybody), but most of us: 1. refuse to live on welfare if we can at all possibly keep from it; 2. don't like playing the victim Olympics game (everybody knows that eventually the strong dog is the one who runs the neighborhood, so don't think of us as weak); 3. we really do like America even though we're proud of being Italian (oh noes! sorta white people who refuse to denounce their country nor apologize for their old culture/traditions and somehow make both of those work!) PS. yeah, it kinda sucked what some whitebread racists did to us...but that's not our America, and we have kinda won (take that racist bitches!); -- this especially includes the frustration they feel: for decades they've tried to indoctrinate us, make us take up trash culture as our own (Madonna? Snookie?) and they STILL haven't managed to get us completely onboard; 4. Christopher Columbus (and no, I refuse to give him up -- we worked hard to make America and save up for those statues by God we're keeping them!)

Nessun Dormina -- the opera it's from is a bit significant; the fact that it is used as a fight song is significant, but the lyrics....ah, once you read the lyrics! When we heard it, I had to bust out laughing -- what a beautiful troll by our President! (and yes, being Italian-American, my family are huge opera fans...even having family who hailed from the same vicinity of Italy as Puccini, which makes him sort of a hometown hero...I caught the hints because I've heard that song a million times growing up, even saw Turandot performed).

Those who can’t create destroy- destroy statues, businesses, places of worship, schools, houses, our institutions, our workplaces, even our military. When they see or hear something beautiful or successful, they instinctively want to destroy it, suppress it, or cause it to implode.

I never knew the Italians were the "black white people" I would assume that was the Irish(obv not on skin tone). The vast majority of the Italian people I know are patriotic as fuck and they arent cool with bullshit.

operator1214 3 points ago +3 / -0

The Irish were the first "black white people"; then we came along. Yet another bit of the not so subtle bigotry (against Blacks, Irish, and Italians in this instance, there are plenty of other examples) the left/Dems have engaged in since the beginning. Blacks -- supposed to act "ghetto" Irish -- supposed to be like "Blacks" Italians -- supposed to act like "Irish and Blacks" aka. according to their disgusting, stereotypical visions for us all -- fuck that bullshit, this is America.

Irish, then Italians, Poles, Hungarians... there's a common thread here. Catholics! There's still a lot of anti-Catholic hate in this nation.

4
operator1214 4 points ago +4 / -0

"The last acceptable prejudice", P. Jenkins. The left in particular hates Catholics. But, the modern political left in the U.S. has its historical roots in both the pro-slavery Democrats as well as the anti-immigrant Know Nothings (you could say they took from the worst both the north and the south had to offer) -- hatred and disdain for "white ethnics and non-white people" is deeply ingrained into them (don't look at their words, look at what their actions towards the same have been). So, it isn't just an anti-Catholic thing (back in the day they hated German immigrants...who are hardly all Catholic...they used to call them "brown"! what a joke, huh?).

Yup- look at how Kamala Harris and Maize Hirono treated judicial nominee Brian Buescher for being in Catholic service organization Knights of Columbus. (Does just hearing the word Columbus just majorly trigger libs or what?)

Italian american here. Family has been here since about 1918 give or take. You are correct about this. I always love engaging pinkos just to see where they place me in the victim olympics. It's hilarious because some go full "you're a cracker" while others go full the other way. Btw there's swarthy as shit italians and blonde blue eyes italians so honestly it's our culture not our skin I consider italian and as far as that goes I don't really think of myself as white or dark or... Anything. Italians honestly consider themselves their own thing. I would like to think it's a very based thing which is why so many italians maga.

My Irish ancestors would like a word with you.

But it's not a race - immigrants period got shit back in the day. LEGAL immigrants. My great grandparents came over with nothing, worked their asses off, got called "shanty irish" and worse - but they made it. They even got their name changed at Ellis Island by some lazy immigration office, but so what. We made it.

Italians were the 2nd most lynched group after Blacks (people are usually pretty surprised to find this out). One of the largest mass lynchings in American history was of 11 Italians in New Orleans in 1891. Also the lynchers during this incident were both White AND Black, so the whole racism element of lynchings and unlawful justice in every case isn’t as plainly black & white as people may think (pun not intended).

The incident caused waves between the US and Italy, and also with Italian Americans, since the lynchers were never prosecuted. To ease tensions with Italy & Italian Americans, president Benjamin Harrison declared the first nationwide celebration of Columbus Day in 1892, commemorating the 400th anniversary of the Italian explorer's landing.

During the anniversary in 1892, teachers, preachers, poets and politicians celebrated ideals of patriotism. Many themes were citizenship boundaries, the importance of loyalty to the nation, and the celebration of social progress, among them was the Pledge of Allegiance by Francis Bellamy.

Many Italian Americans fund raised their own money to pay for Columbus statutes, as both a source of pride and as a gift to the neighborhoods of their communities, of course we all know how THAT would turn out...😡 sauce1 sauce 2 sauce 3

Sure, I added some sources to my original post. Not trying to make a victim contest fren, that’s something the stupid dems would do!

I know the Irish suffered much, including being hustled as slaves during the early days of English colonization, before African slavery started.

Plenty of American Indians would like to have a word with about your statement.

And yet, the vast majority of Indians are insanely patriotic. The MSM chooses to focus on the Left wing ones to make believe otherwise.

Visolatte 4 points ago +4 / -0

The tens of thousands of future Americans who were butchered, raped, had their farms and villages burned, and their kids sent into slavery by Indians during the French and Indian Wars would like to have a word with you about your statement.

But we know only some history matters.

Grady_Wilson 1 point ago +1 / -0

Please, you really going to equate what happened to the Indians with what happened as retaliation for the outright genocide of Indians?

Both sides did some horrible shit, but let's not pretend that the blacks, or any other group were hunted down like the Indians were.

2
DrinkMoreWater 2 points ago +2 / -0

I was never trying to compare Italians to Indians (I assume you mean all Native tribes)? My statement about lynchings? I added sources to my original post if you were looking for more information. I never tried to say that they were the most marginalized group of all time, I just relayed a fact I thought was interesting that many people might not know & that paved the way to Columbus Day and the Christopher Columbus statues that are under attack right now. I’m not trying out for the oppression olympics, that’s the Dem’s handiwork.

2
Grady_Wilson 2 points ago +2 / -0

I was merely pointing out that there are plenty of others that were attacked, enslaved and marginalized. Every group of people had that done to them. I get tired of the blacks pretending like they were the only people to ever be enslaved or marginalized.

I have some very, very close friends that are Italian. They are 2nd generation. In fact, one of the brothers, whose name is Vinnie :) told me I was part of the family.

Absolutely. The single largest mass lynching in America? That would be a group of Italians (11 of us) on March 14, 1891 in New Orleans.

Yep from my casual knowledge of Italy, the left is very prominent.

And I do know that Rome is split between right and left which is reflected in which football team you support with the right supporting Lazio and the left supporting Roma.

Yeah, that soccer divide is still pretty accurate as far as I know. A lot of the right over there is pretty chill by my standards, but a small number of them are truly wacked-out, controlled-economy fascists.

First, a lot of Italians thought Benito had rocks in his head for ever siding with Hitler. Second, there are basically no Italians who put faith in the Italian government -- like, ever. Getting around government is the true official Italian sport.

Nah. They wouldn't have done shit unless the riots went into their neighborhoods. The mob kept their distance in the 60's and 70's riots. And, the mob still have their fingers in major cities, you just won't ever hear much about it.

Ever since the Sopranos, everyone thinks they know the mob. I grew up around that shit, it's nothing like a tv show. If you think the mob would get involved with race riots, you watch too much tv.

My 100% italian grandma still remembers being called a wop when she stepped off the boat 80 years ago.

Doesn't appreciate the wap song. It's like making an acronym for nigga and then using it in a song. Except italians don't just go around calling eachother waps usually.

Half blood italian dad is the most patriotic person I've met in my life and defends the country like crazy. Does not give a fuck. Machismo as fuck. Usually the center of attention in the room. Very charismatic.

No one in the italian side of my family gives a fuck about anyone elses feelings. We climbed out of the pits of nothing because if America. Like cubans, we know what it's like to see your old country destroyed. And even though I've never seen it, those values have been passed down to quarter italian me.

Fucking Hispanics whiter than me say I have privilege. No bro, you retard. I just have 2 parents who gave a fuck and taught me to work my ass off.
