I know i am a generation detached from the homeland, but it still hurts to see the mafia wreacking suck havoc.
My loyalty is ALWAYS to America first but my father, who was from Naoles, died when I as young and my mother’s mother is Sicilian and I have been there and feel an affinity towards it.
They almost became a state. That would have been fun :)
The Sicilian mafia makes the American mafia look like boyscouts. One the other day used a granson as a human shield.
I was in a pizzeria and eight Italian kids came in. they were very polite but couldn’t afford much so i bought them a pizza
My nephews and nieces wont give a #$@#$ about Italians or italy at all lol. That’s as it should be.
But me, I am still partial.
But dont worry, America ALWAYS comes first.
Are you texting? I think you must be.
What the Sicilian Mafia has foisted on Sicily infuriates me. In my two visits, we had to pay off youths to not destroy our rental cars while visiting various sites. My husband’s family has to pay them off - these very decent people who work so hard. As hard as Americans!
For the most part, the American mafia was at war with each other; in Sicily they are at war with ordinary Italians.
