meazza Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Actually, the proper "insult" would be, "So, you're African." Nah that's more for the French National team Don't worry, you could easily just call me a farmer or a hoodlum, you know being from Napoli and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Nah that's more for the French National team Don't worry, you could easily just call me a farmer or a hoodlum, you know being from Napoli and all No, what I'm saying is, Italians call Sicilians "Africans" or, even cruder, the N word (or the Italian equivalent). Growing up, my father would see The Supremes (for example) on TV and call out, "Josephine, come in here. There are Sicilians on TV." Needless to say, my mother is Sicilian. It was all in good fun, of course. Did you not see the famous scene from True Romance? Also, many Sicilians (like me, for instance) have Thalassemia. An inherited anemia closely related to Sickle Cell Anemia, which of course affects Africans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways to an Italian, it's the same thing. All the foreign salesmen were black and they used to refer to them as "Maroccini" or simply Maroccons lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellDressed Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Proof Well that sucks!! So instead of using the cash you had set aside for a proper colon detox and botox lip enhancement, you go out and pay to have your signature unprofessionally updated. Good work Pico.

A little redicule never hurts the soft man..... He probably got an email from Nancy Grace telling him he has to step his game up. I Hate christian posers was my favorite. He still rolls tight with the 'ralph is not the anti christ' thang though. Now, I'm wondering from what magazine did he copy his 'draft picks' from...

outsidethebox Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I was raised by wolves until the age of twelve or so. I don't really know my true age, since wolves do not celebrate birthdays. At the age of twelve I was captured by a roving band of Mongolians, who clothed, fed and forced me to work in the town factory (which I called sweatshop) making meat helmets until the age of 21, which was when I escaped to western New York and became a Bills fan. So I guess you can say I am half wolf, half Mongolian, or a complete meat helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
