20. Exactly - partially

I'm married to a man from Italy - and we own several homes there. He also has an interest in his brother's construction company. The reality is - black Americans - we started this. We went for the warmth of warmer and kinder suns - some abroad after WW I and WW II. And the fact is - we assimilated - overwhelmingly Christian and well . . . we do Sunday dinner.

My experience as a black American wife, educated and a tither (proved it) getting her citizenship - is quite different than an Eastern European woman with little education - or a Muslim woman coming in from Libya. <--- Even if it is by marriage.

So yes - there is racism.

See it? Black christians - these 15 guys are DONE. Just done. They killed the ones who are perceived as enhancing Italy with the gifts they bring.

My facebook feed is on fire - it's after dinner time there and They Is Pissed about this. They is pissed to high holy hell. My older brother in law is ranting about how they 'took good workers' from them. Like - they PERSONALLY did this to Lou.

I'm telling you - the Amanda Knox case showed me the 'true face' - this one is making that look 'nice'. I just don't want a black American flying by and thinking they are going to get the blatant mistreatment we get here. It exists - but not like how white Americans do it to us.

We do the same thing in America you know? Think about how we caged up those little kids in the South West last summer. As IF they were a part of ISIS. As if. Can't make this shit up!
