Malcolm X on the Kennedy assassination:
“Being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they always made me glad.”


He gets streets named after him, I find it offensive. That doesn't make me or anyone else who feels the same a pussy.

You're right. in addition, I think the Italian Americans (In general) are pretty tough people and it would take a lot more than a "word" to make them protest something. I think they have too much dignity and pride to march in the streets holding signs and crying and whining over a fucking word like some other people do.
It's not crying and whining, it's not wanting to be a target when others are exempt. The OP pointed it out. I agree with him.
You're right again. This Country is upside down with hypocrisy and double standards.

the Bonnano trial. its alleged an agent said to Lovaglio when they were talking, and its on tape. i think the defendants lawyers probably heard it during the discovery process and are making an issue about it. a bias issue. dont blame the defense for pushing the issue...whatever sticks.. but lets not act like italians in staten island - out of all places - are victims of anything (besides getting shaken down by the types of people on trial)
I meant Italians in general, not just Staten Island. It is an offensive term. If an agent messed it in a conversation then is understandable, I thought it was used by an agent in testimony. The OP does have a point on how different groups would react and be supported.
I need a safe space

no argument from me, offensiveness is a subjective thing. i know italians themselves jokingly have made the same exact statement as the agent referring to their own migrations from brooklyn over to SI.

i could personally care less but itd be interesting if they really could press the issue and maybe dig into the Agents past (nod to Mark Furman) and end up swaying a jury...lol. in the era we live in today it wouldnt be out of the ordinary to try some shit like that
