It's not all Italians, but Sicilians probably have Moorish ancestry from the when the Moors inhabited most of the Mediterranean. Moor was a collective (and not totally accurate) term for the Black and Arab Muslims from North Africa during the Middle Ages, so it's feasible that some Sicilians might have black ancestry.Quote:

An MC has always been about being the best, the hardest, invincible and wanting to show and prove that he was, so adopting an infamous name would add to that.
They are in my view just taking the name and the power and not the person, I mean I don't think Norega would really appreciate what Manuel Norega was like as a person and only admired the power he had.

The Real Question Is...why Do White People Like Breaking Down The Psyche Of Black Folks As If It Really Matters What Your Opinions On Us Are?
If You Wanna Know Why Black Americans Are The Way They Are Then Read The
"willie Lynch Letters: How To Make A Slave"
You'll Get All The Info You Need On Us With A Quick Google Search....
Was the person who made this thread white? I dont know, do you? Don't flatter yourself tho, white's dont care as much as you might think.
I don't understand why certain (not all) black people turn everything into a black vs. white issue as if every white person has a hidden evil agenda behind their opinions or observations of other ethinic groups.
I agree....its a mentality alot of people have no matter what race. thats why I try to say when I post. We are all the same, certain things happen because of timing, and people have certain views because of when and where they are born. It just 'is'

You want to know why Black males arent taking care of their kids? you want to know why black males may look up to white italian racist gangsters? Or why black women and black men do not get along? then look no futher then the "Willie Lynch Letters". All im saying is unless you are black it will be really hard to understand why we are the way that we are unless you dig deep and understand how the psyche of our forefathers was shaped...wasnt trying to start a race war or anything lol. Just expressing how I feel.
And get off that "white guilt, uppity racism crying black guy" thing, because I didnt bring up the black vs white thing, look no further then the thread title for that. Its all peace here just trying to build with my wu fan brethren no matter what color.
Seriously though... Read the "Willie Lynch Letter: How to make a slave"... and understand that this mentality exists among blacks today, we are just dealing with it in the wrong way now (welfare, Prisons) instead of rehabilitating our minds. Any questions on the black psyche almost always can be referred to this. As a black male I feel I need to pass this on to non blacks so they can get a good idea as to why a group of people seem so crazy nowadays because lets face it, Black folks are confused and crazy right now....
The white people on Wutangcorp seem to care, and thats all im referring to. You cats are making 7 page threads on numerous black related topics so there are those of you who do care enough to log onto the internet and discuss, LMAO White people dont care that much about black folks.....Stormfront.org. Lemme rephrase what I said, I should have said non blacks instead of just whites because lets face it, no black man with knowledge of self would need to ask the question that the threadstarter asked because most of us know the answer(well those of us that arent ignorant to ourselves)...Thats why i concluded that he may be white or non black. So calm it down homie..Quote:

I was worried at first when I created this thread that people would jump in and call me racist or something, because sometimes it seems anyone mentioning anything to do with another race is taken as such.
I'm glad that, in fact, it turned out to be an interesting and surprisingly mature (for this site!) discussion.
i hate all racism PERIOD!!!!!!!!!! we all bleed the same colour blood and have the same organs!!!!! i'm a white girl and i dont have any problem with anybody in different races..........fuck all that bullshit! i love everybody.........well almost xxxxxxxx
