"Still, that didn't stop good ol' WASPish union thugs from beating up my uncles when they tried to feed the family. They weren't allowed INTO the unions and the ONLY job-seeking status they could have had was as "SCAB"s."

You are aware that the unions are part of the Dems base right?

Did your family go out and shoot some women after your uncle got beat up? I doubt it.

There is only one group that repeatedly does this...and that is not profiling....that is a fact.

No, but my OLDER uncle went down with a razor blade inserted in his shoe the next day.

THAT guy was "lucky".

The OTHERS got a visit from some old ITALIAN family friends.

My Mom used to work [10 years old] for a "rich" family down the block who ALWAYS seemed to have enough, even in the depression. Nobody ASKED. One time [this was before air conditioning] she was paid to wave a fan [like cleopatra] over a body at a wake.....got to take the scraps home.

Italians had GREAT wakes.
