Cool over here. The Guido culture was at its peak from like 2002-2010. Now their just like regular white people for the most part but still Spicey.

Can't speak on anybody else's experience but Italians and blacks are cool together over here
Italian girls made Catholic school so much better

That ass

Them faces

Maybe its just me but I've noticed a big difference between Italian Americans who have been here for decades and Italians straight from Italy. Italian Americans who have been in America for decades (and their children) are generally extremely racist, jealous, appropriators. Italian Americans straight from Italy are more friendly and appear to be less racist.

Yet, Gucci and Moncler professed their racism towards blacks in their blatant racist designs to send a message. Gucci and Moncler aren't run by two guineas from Brooklyn. And I still see black folks wearing Gucci and Moncler more than anyone else when none of that shyt is remotely affordable for the average black person unless you make high six figures. nikkas love all Italian everything and them wops hate nikkas and always have. Everybody heard of Staten Island wiggas who listen to Hip Hop and try to act what they think acting black is but are still the most vocally racist cacs in a major metro area. Liberal cacs who live in major metro areas are always closet racists, but Italians have a recent history (as in my lifetime) of open racism towards blacks in major cities like NYC.

You c00ns sure love some Italians even if they racist. Love them so much that your homeboy out here calling himself "Capone", "Gotti" "Gambino".

Straight up joke.

Aight Ill just come out and say it cuz no one else is.

Most Italians are fukking idiots. Very stupid people - and irrationally angry, too. Very rarely do you meet an intelligent one.

 

[intruder]

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

I agree and Im very familiar with that. Even in other countries like Haiti where i grew up we have this saying of "mouch tonbé nan lèt la" which means "a fly fell in the milk". It refers to when mulattos marry a black person which then turns the next generation of the family darker than the previous. At the same time we also have blacks who dont want their kids marrying mulattos or whites.

Which is why look at the "one drop rule" in the US as more of a unifying thing than divisive. The white man treated the mulatto the same as the natural black which unified you in a way because you were both oppressed. I dont see that particular division among African-Americans between mixed and "black" with a few exceptions

My parents accountant is Italian.

Italian people are very traditional. They tend to like to be around themselves. If there’s any threat of non-Italians moving into the area they will quickly all flee the area

Italian women and Italian men also do not date as much outside their heritage compared to Irish.

As far as the racist stuff many Italians are very conservative so naturally they will sound racist to someone who doesn’t understand the difference between actual racism and conservative thinking.

Italians are not as physically racist as they were in the past. Many infamous Italian hoods like Bensonhurst and Howardbeach have black and Hispanic people walking all over the area now.

Other Italian hoods are mostly Caribbean and Asian now.

Mill Basin, Flatlands, Canarsie, Rosedale, Laurelton are all 75% to 90% black

Bensonhurst and Flushing are basically Chinatown now.

Italian racist today in Brooklyn are mostly angry at Chinese people these days and have let a lot of their hate (except the hoodrats) towards blacks (except the hoodrats) simmer down.

I'm surprised your dad allowed that after laying the smackdown on them for years

For the italicized give me an example

Didn't know the floss aka canarsie used to be italian.

 

[Alvin]

Honestly, they might as well just be regular ol cacs.

I now live in what USED to be an Italian neighborhood. All I see are Russians and Chinese with just tiny bit of Italians.

what neighborhood?

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

what neighborhood?

Bensonhurst

Canarsie didn’t turned black later than a lot of hoods. Canarsie I believe was still white in the 80s and I also watched Mill Basin turn from white to black with my own eyes throughout the early 2000s.

My dad got into beef with many Italians but my dad is super laid back. My mom did all the lawyer and accounting finding and like I always say on these boards my mom is a super c00n. She really believes in stereotypes. Even stereotypes for Haitians smh.

 

[BigMan]

That's odd because some say they trip over their daughters dating irish people. But i hear you , tho.

Wops will prefer they bring home a catholic at least

But historically Irish and guineas were the poor whites who competed against each other (jobs, mob, trying to compete with blacks etc.) so maybe that’s where the beer comes from. But in 2019 those groups have intermingled so much that any Irish/eyetalian “beef” is relegated to just old folks
