NY and NJ heads, what's it like to live around/deal with "Italians"?

[intruder]

According to my mom her life was amazing when papa doc was around.

Most older haitians i know say this. They say it's babydoc that shytted the country

Idk about common but a lot of wops say that especially the Sicilian ones

Many Italians say that.

Thanks. I think her family was from Sicily too so that explains that part.

Like I know people descending from Scotland & Ireland, etc. I've never heard them outright deny being white irl though. They just be like I'm white from here, that's my culture & whatever.

Hey, can y'all that be around Italians tell me if this is common or y'all see it.

I knew a white girl whose family came from Italy. Chick ain't never been there, don't speak the language, was born on the east coast.

She refused to call herself white. "I'm not white, I'm Italian". I know people with Italian relatives but no go hard ones. Is this really a common thing?

I'm like girl you're white, your family just came from Italy.

its very true especially in NYC
nobody here : wants to be considered white

now in the Heartland - middle America & the South its a completely different story

My old gym in the BX had a lot of them. The men were cool. Don't know much about the women

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Ehhh ....these youngs in North Jersey aint like that though. We're the most culturally diverse region in the nation, you'd be hard press to find a I-talian who grew up around black and hated them.

maybe the most culturally accepting but nyc and Boston got yall beat in the most culturally diverse

Delete. Misread your post.

The women are cool. But don’t get too comfy. They will let you know ASAP that they do not like jungle fever.

Funny cause the ones I know who don’t date black guys had a fetish for black guys at one point in their life.

Yeah.
The Northerners call the Southerners 'Africans' as an insult..
In return the Southerners call the Northerners 'Nazi's'..

Northern and Southern Italians so busy putting each other down yet in Europe ALL Italians are getting shytted on the same

 

[Mowgli]

Always looked out for me

 

[poundedyam]

I hear that you dont really wanna mess with them.
Like they kinda run new york.
Is this true?

 

[poundedyam]

That’s not accurate I’m sure you were really looking at “Hispanic white”.

Bronx is not even 11% white. More like 10% white.

A whole 1 percent.
Thats a lot breh

 

[poundedyam]

They act like black people when they're comfortable in their own environment. The main difference is men run shyt, shyt be borderline abuse sometimes though.

Aint come in contact with too many in my time but every single italian woman i have come in contact with his at some point been battered by their boyfriends.

 

[poundedyam]

Most non blacks who don’t want their people marrying blacks, it has nothing to do with preserving anything. It’s just anti blackness. Never heard of any Italians disowning their grandchildren for being half Irish

Its a bit of both.
Mostly disdain but also preserving culture

Was gonna say i didn’t really kno much, but not only am i from a mob town, my apartment mate from my last year of college is italian and my ex’s () mom is half italian.

My roommate from college is pretty much regular white, but she likes black guys and politically driven hip hop.

Also remember another chick from college who’s from Brooklyn complete with the doofy ass accent, but she was bad.

I met my ex’s italian grand dad. Real old catholic dude. Met him a few times before he passed. No nonsense guy, but a nice guy.

Italy is next to Africa and was ran by nikkas for a very long time, hence othello.

Race isn’t real. They have very moorish influences that is difficult for them to express because of the invention of whiteness and the need to maintain it.
