Italy election: 'White race' remark sparks row
BBC ^ | 01/17/2018 | James Reynolds

---SNIP--- Mr Fontana's region, Lombardy in the north, is the leading destination for migrants in Italy. He reflected on this point.

"We can't accept them all," he told Radio Padania, "Because if we had to accept them all, it would mean that we're no longer ourselves… as an ethnic fact. Because they outnumber us, because they are more determined than us to occupy this land."

Mr Fontana, by now fully into his stride, reached his conclusion.

"We need to decide whether or not our ethnic group, our white race, our society should continue to exist, or be wiped out. It's a choice

>At the turn of the twentieth century, many in the US didn’t even consider Italians (or Jews) “white.”

Jews only consider themselves white when it’s convenient to do so. Roseanne Bar recently had a Twitter meltdown after someone told her she had white privilege where she insisted that Jews are not white. Most of the time you see an explictly anti white person like Tim Wise they’re typically Jewish who people who are white when it’s useful and Jewish when it’s not.

The immigration issue in Italy as in America should not be about retaining a "white" culture.

Immigration into any nation must governed by the laws of that nation. The problem here as in Italy and other nations is that people are entering "illegally". The other thing that needs consideration is that of assimilation. Once upon a time, Americans were required to speak English; Americans were required to understand the Constitution; Americans were required to give allegiance to the U.S.A. and no other nation. From its beginning, our republic has reflected Christian European laws, sensibilities, culture and morals.

Our government (mostly the Democrats) has allowed the invasion of illegal immigrants, particularly Latinos and Muslims. When government offers forms and applications in dozens of languages, it is counter to motivating assimilation into our culture. When schools teach that the Europeans who settled this nation were evil, it is counter to motivating assimilation into our culture.

We're in trouble folks. Speaking of Italy, we should remember what led up to the fall of the Roman Empire. Here are some excerpts from http://www.ushistory.org/civ/6f.asp :

The western half of the empire had a large trade deficit with the eastern half. To make up for the lack of money, the government began producing more coins with less silver content. This led to inflation.

Piracy and attacks from Germanic tribes disrupted the flow of trade, especially in the west. There were political and military difficulties, as well.

It didn't help matters that political amateurs were in control of Rome in the years leading up to its fall.

Corruption was rampant.

As money grew tight, the government hired the cheaper and less reliable Germanic soldiers to fight in Roman armies. By the end, these armies were defending Rome against their fellow Germanic tribesmen. Under these circumstances, the sack of Rome came as no surprise.

Wave after wave of Germanic barbarian tribes swept through the Roman Empire. Groups such as the Visigoths, Vandals, Angles, Saxons, Franks, Ostrogoths, and Lombards took turns ravaging the Empire, eventually carving out areas in which to settle down. The Angles and Saxons populated the British Isles, and the Franks ended up in France.

In 476 C.E. Romulus, the last of the Roman emperors in the west, was overthrown by the Germanic leader Odoacer, who became the first Barbarian to rule in Rome. The order that the Roman Empire had brought to western Europe for 1000 years was no more.

"We need to decide whether or not our ethnic group, our white race, our society should continue to exist, or be wiped out. It's a choice.

What's funny about this is that Italians weren't even considered part of the "white race" not that long ago.

Beyond that, I think this fellow will find out that many of the elites in Italy will answer his question, "Wiped out is preferable."

It’s OK to be white.
White is not a curse word.
White is both a color and describes many ethnicities.

OK, liberals, class is concluded.

Just like when Italians and Jews weren’t white enough in the past, they simply aren’t dark enough to merit due consideration by the Left. So now they are considered white.

What's the problem? The paesano speaks the truth. Who gives the invaders the right to destroy millennia of native Italian culture? The invaders have their own culture back in the jungle. Let them embrace that.

When Italians are gone, they're gone. But the jungle will always have its children.

I’m of Italian ancestry, both sides of my family.

I and all of my relatives look as white as any other Americans of European heritage.

All of my ancestors came from southern Italy, although one great-grandfather moved there from Genoa, in northern Italy.

Yep.....They are Charles Manson mindsets.....ignite a race war and the non whites win.

But the nonwhites are too stupid and primitive to self govern, so the white elites like Merkel, et al must step in

A race war may or may not happen.

What will happen is that white people will be bred out.
