They are Italians like the rest. Then if you did not notice, we Italians, at least a big part, are not really white, we are olive skinned, like myself that have almost brown skin, curly hair and strong features. Now this my very "exotic" look gave me problem when I was living in Germany, Holland and England, I was stopped by the cops while I was taking strolls almost once a month and I experienced a lot of raciusm against my person, so instaed of attacking Italians (who are , by nature already a mixed people and not really racist) try and go to live in CEntral and noryhern Europe where you will experience a lot of real racism from the "pure" blonde milky white central and northern euros.Realistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681394079697163057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-70548231240810610662016-04-24T06:24:50.317+02:002016-04-24T06:24:50.317+02:00This is really sad to hear.

Black culture amazed me. Italian culture too. we have so many good things to share but we stock ourselves on the first impression, the clothes that we might wear, the language of the body that we use.. i am so glad to decide to be part of different club of people, the ones that they feel, the look inside the eyes for have an opinion of someone. this is why i choose my partner. we looked inside both eyes. i don't think i will never make better choice. and i am just waiting to see how my daughter will look like.

And they are bad to whites in SA. Hatred is part of all people, unfortunately, not just Italians. People will find excuses to hate someone for even the minutest difference. In India, people of lower castes who are identical in appearance to uppercasts are hated.

He has been asked if there are traffic lights in his country. I met a black French woman here who was shocked. She told me that in France she worked at a bank but she will NEVER get that kind of job here (true). She said when she went to the pool with her son, people treated him as though he were a doll. I was told by a cab driver that black people are nice but he would be furious if his daughter ever came home with a black boyfriend. When I told him my husband was black he nearly drive off the road which was somewhat satisfying if not a bit scary. People use the polite form (Lei) with me when I am alone but the informal (tu) with me when I am with my husband. My husband is routinely stopped by the police at the station for ID checks, as is my above mentioned American friend when he is going to work wearing a suit and tie. He has been told the cops are instructed to check black males only and routinely. Once a cop stopped my husband and when I identified myself, they let him go. Need I go on? My husband regularly takes one of the kids with him to run errands because Italians love kids and therefore treat him better when he is with a small child.

We have two kids. We live in the North of Italy, considered more "progressive" than the relatively "backward" (as it is known) south. I have lived here for nearly 20 years and the first 15 I was in love with the place and the people. Sincve the arrival of my husband ans seeing how he is treated on a daily basis has changed my opinion 100%. My husband has been told to go back home, has been refused entry on a train before showing his ticket (not done) because "you people never buy tickets", he is followed by security guards at the supermarket and so on. People talk to him as though he is a criminal or an idiot and when i am with him, talk to me the same way. Italy on the whole is racist. Not only against black people but also against anyone, even their own - there are derogatory names for southern Italians even. I saw a black doctor the other day and almost fell over in shock - then wondered what his life must be like here... As soon as we can, we will leave. I refuse to bring up my kids here past a certain age. Sad but true. Even me and my kids were called "disgusting" by another kid in the park because we were speaking English (my kids are pale skinned and no one can tell their origin from just looking at them... at least not so far...). So help me if ANYONE treated my children badly because of their origin, I will raise hell.EPBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-78638937654934665022012-06-20T08:19:38.775+02:002012-06-20T08:19:38.775+02:00I am an a American Blackman and i find it absolutl...I am an a American Blackman and i find it absolutly crazy that no matter where we are born and what nationality's we may be mixed with we are still not accepted with respect and dignity as human being. and all these so called god fearing people are just phony. hiding behind religion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-59122176478253652372012-01-31T21:39:25.347+01:002012-01-31T21:39:25.347+01:00Black right along with any other race is a beautif...Black right along with any other race is a beautiful thing.
