    Every race had issues! Every single one! Including half of my family.


    Yeah, the assumption seems to be that white Americans are all living on Rockefeller money and that hard work and discipline had nothing to do with their life style. My father was the first in his family line to go to college and back then, college was affordable if you wanted to work hard, which he did. College was pretty much English, History, Economics, Business and the STEM classes. My wife was the first in her family line to go to college and back in the 1970's my first quarter tuition was a $169. Today, for every tenured college professor in the core classes there are multiple administrators who don't teach a damn thing and tuition is now $5,300 per quarter. And white European Americans are near the bottom for per capita income if you start dicing up the racial composition.
    Italians aren’t white…

    My grandfather came from Italy alone at 15. He had $50.00 and was sent to work and send money home for his family and 10 siblings. He worked! He became a very successful business man and investing in real estate. Even though discrimination certainly existed in the '20's in America.

    So he was in the mob. Old school!
    We aren't Sicilian. Italy and Sicily don't play nice. Ignorant turd.

    Just don't call the dazzler a racist. Turning the US into the world's welfare magnet is working out just like you would expect it. No way an immigrant should be expected to work and be ineligible for welfare.
    Gasbag's full-throated defense of the Mafia.
    All blacks are criminals? You going with that analogy with the Italians and the Mafia? I didn't think that you were all in on all Muslims are sharia radicals.
    Easily wound up, ain't ya?

    Police were the employer of last resort.

    Sad when the Mob doesn't want you, Guiseppe.

    Other half is Scotch/Irish/Welsh. I have a violent lineage. It's been an advantage. Your two dads must of been studs. Science has proven where lawyers come from and you have the pedigree.

    This part about you is interesting.

    My grandmother came over on a boat when she's was 5ish years old. WW1 was on and her ship was torpedoed. Another ship came alongside and they placed a pack between the two and walked to the undamaged ship. She said she remembered it. Both have been gone for quite a while. They became Americans. Their son, my uncle, was an Air Force fighter pilot in Korea.
