MA COSA CAZZO NE SAI TU???

Nel primo luogo, amic', Joe Skee came correct with his sounding off on these cosidetti prominenti...alla fine fratame, What you can't dig is the fact that this community has always had another side, and if you want to think about discrimination, instead of bitching about a' figuraccia that ultimately is Jersey Shore, ask yourself why this is so, instead of viewing the media as some omnipotent power that is attacking us with reality tv shows and The Sopranos and A Shark's Tale that does smack of bygone eras such as the Cold War and ancora peggio the Red Scare, when many Italians living in the US were deported and detained without any rights or due process because many were Anarchists and Communists, Think Paterson, Think Michele Schirru' and Ultimately Carlo Tresca, (and for legitimate purposes remember Vito Marcantoio going to the mats for the People) and His immediate opposite and counterpart Generoso Pope who was a shrewd newspaper owner that had mad connections in Tammany Hall and within the Democratic Party( quindi figuriamoci....he only jumped ship with the Fasci after the racial laws were declared and Mussolini solidified his position with The Nazis and Hitler which was a figuraccia for him with many of his Jewish American colleghi.)...and FDR was the man he ultimately answerd to because that's the way it was...but remember Mussolini was all good with the americani until he started to pull that shit with Nazi Germany.

Now far be it from me to go and pin it all on one figure, who in the long run has left an impact on the Italian American Community, but what I lament more is that the community has forgotten much of our leftist past, they've forgotten where we came from, and have adopted White Anglo Saxon Protestant values and cultural tendencies that they try to make more exotic and ethnic by going to fancy gala events that promote to gather money so that they can put out stuff that ultimately fits thier agendas....what I dislike is our tendency to worry about la bella figura rather than knowing our true history maintaining and distinct italian identity where the Italian Language is used nella vita quotidiana, and American tendencies can coform to the true Italian Prespective.

What I'm saying shouldnt be construed as Fascism, in fact I would assert an ethinc identity in customs habits and Language and do not perfer the assimilated go USA come hell or high water ideaolgy many of the prominenti today and yesterday still utilize and propogate. Ultimately we must not view our past with a step up the ladder stepped on mentality, we need to link the past with the struggles of todays immigrants and minorities with in and thruout or community.Quanto a me, amic, I'm a Poet and feel that we are the makers of our own identity and the only path to true identity is to show and take a look at the things we don't like about ourselves....our ruination as a people was the death of la cultura popolare; the demonization of the old world aspects that to this day I still maintain: like making my own wine, sausage, sauce and keeping a garden....my ancestors nonni e genitori compresi were always contadini....and I'll take them over the Rinascimento Filippo Mazzei, Cristoforo Colombo, Garibaldi, Meucci and Mussolini and if one day my children should ask what was Italian America, I'd say i cafoni, Vito Marcantonio Carlo Tresca and i veri Sacco and Vanzetti, and not the Icon Italian american groups make them seem at times. I would even tell them about Crocco and Ninco Nanco....about what was and what happened, what brought us to this place.

so please smettila con questi commenti da stracazzo amic'....because in the end academia is not at fault here....its reactionary provincial, narrow minded Guidos like you that give intelligent Guidos a bad name....quindi VATENNE E VIR TU!!!!! A DOPO!!!
