Italians and Sicilians were the only whites I would date back in the day.i am not that dark but i have had Mexicans come up to me speaking Spanish....when they find i am Italian they laugh and say we aint that far apart....and as far as how my darker relatives got treated,my grandmother said her brothers hung with lots of black guys were they lived because they felt more excepted by them and she said her mothers friends used to kid her about how she must have slept with a black man.....they both died young one in WW1 the other a few years later by some disease he contracted...Its a simple yes or no.i dont know how to answer this....my family came over in the early 1900's from Southern Italy...and looking at some old pictures my grandmother showed me i had some ancestors that were pretty dam dark,no doubt Moors blood....my grandmother told me that her 2 brothers were so dark that they were considered black by just about everyone....and the pictures she showed me of them,i can see why....these 2 guys were black.....that the founding fathers and subsequent leadership had to construct a system that gave them a 300 plus year head start here in the US? If you count the years of enslavement of Blacks. The laws against Blacks reading. The Vagrancy laws. The Jim Crow laws. etc etc arent you kind of pissed off that your white leadership thought so very very little of your ability to succeed on a level playing field?
Interesting. How about now? Are you mistaken for a Black person now? What is the difference in treatment between your dark ancestors and your white looking ancestors?
Sure, because we all know how well Italians, and Blacks have gotten along in this country.
*Rolls eyes*
Italians, and Sicilians were the only "Whites" I'd see punch a random Black person for being in their neighborhood, or looking at them the wrong way.... Back in the day in Putnam Lake, NY.
