staten italy

Little Italy neighborhoods in Staten Island. I don't know what that one racist cat is talking about. First of all, Italians aren't white at all. Most of us, especially Southern Italians, are dark-skinned. I am actually brown-skinned. We have been lynched (actually, we were the second most lynched group in the South, next to blacks), discriminated against, and shit on by WASPs and whiteboys every since we came to this country. My grandfather couldn't get into college because they had a quota for Italians, Jews, and Blacks. Italians have faced hardships and racism. Hell, you wont believe how many times I've been called "dago", "wop", or "goombah" in my life. So fuck you. Also, most of us are accepting of all different people of all different backgrounds. I got black, Irish, and Puerto Rican friends as well as Italian friends. Anyone who is a good person is alright with me.

"That asshole was badmouthing guineas in Staten Italy and Brooklyn. Fuck him and anyone who is racist against any group."

Howard Beach

First of all, Howard Beach isn't "rich." You want rich, you go to suburban New England. Howard Beach is working class. Second, it isn't really that white. Only the Irish folks there are really white. There are many Italians there, and Italians are not really white in any real sense of the word. I'm Italian, and I'm more brown. I've been called "dago" and "greaseball." My ancestors have been discriminated against. Italians were lynched in large numbers in the South. Sacco and Vanzetti. Italian slums. So, no, Howard Beach isn't really that "white." Trust me, no rich whitebread WASP would wander into Howard Beach, see those guineas and call them "white." Guineas are guineas, not really "white". Howard Beach is also very diverse, too. Many different ethnicities.

Howard Beach is in Queens.
