Greek Americans part 1of20

[anicks1908]

Greetings from Greece to all greek americans

[AVIATIO]

Yes, because Greece had not killed in the name of its gods or kings in the past...or had not destroyed nations or ethnic groups in the past or now. Oh, wait.... Can anyone say "double standard?"

And as for English being influenced by Greek.... Well, the same could be said of the Greek tongue being inundated by newly minted English words.

[FLT111]

Got to love the greeks and the diaspora greeks but however the Greekness in American has dropped down dramatically. The Greek Australians have more greekness for now in a few years it too will loose the language.

[All4Sparta77]

Armenians love our Greek cousins!

[alevas29]

Thanks Greeks of America for all!!

You are one of the most powerfull parts of Greek nation!

[tasosvogi]

@RRNYC1998 :This is truth if you are not European and you are not Christian (Like you).The Greeks as the only pure (Aryan) nation they gave not only their civilization to the rest European sub races but they gave them and the Christianity (if you open a Bilbo you can see this).So for more details you need to be more educated to understand what I mean.

[denmasxe]

@tasosvogi Aryan nation....? I understand you love your country but you should have learned by now that noone is perfect my friend and there is no such thing as an Aryan tribe. As far as Christianity is concerned...I think you need to revise history in particular go back to Vyzantine years to see how Christianity was enforced, destroyed Greece and took the world 2000 years back for its era.

[tasosvogi]

@denmasxe First of all those I wrote is the truth and not what I believe , and is the answer to a MALAKA “RRNYC1998 “ that believe the orthodox Christianity the root of the Christianity is “weird” and the point that the Mediterranean Europeans they are not white because they don’t look like Scandinavians or Anglo-Saxons ,we are the oldest pure race with thousand years civilization a nation with big balls who fought with Persians ,Turks , Germans and other barbarian race by ourselves

[alyctus]

@denmasxe I agree... Christianity destroyed the ancient greek spirit and so many works of ancient greek writers... and demolished ancient temples etc... :((

[Zaikomgisdabest]

I think Greeks are good, but Italians know how to live it up more!

[Jeffanos]

@Zaikomgisdabest Italians are Greeks mate lol...We have a joke here that sais there aren't no Italians the nothern Italians are Austrians and the southern are Greeks...

[iannash0000]

george tenet is the bigest looser of all times

[iannash0000]

I never knew that ernie the news anchor is greek , he is very nice guy i met him in new york, i thought that all the greeks are diners owners,and they only live for three things # 1- pussy # 2- is money #3- is food ,any way arianna is a fucking cunt looser bitch,she is an anti immigrants and she is a fucking immigrant.

[RRNYC1998]

Greeks are swarthy non-white scum with a weird religion

[iannash0000]

@RRNYC1998 I agree with you Thank you very much, 70 years old greek men sleep with under age girls, they never stop thinking about pussy , money and food .

[EffLabels]

@RRNYC1998 You have to be a non-white Turk in-bred lol

BTW Greeks are the oldest European race

[10percentwierd]

@RRNYC1998 Wierd religion? Another fuckwit uneducated dumbass American. Sounds like you must have been taken advantage of by a Greek. Remember one thing cockhead, the Greeks and Jews runs America and you Yanks will continue to take it up the arse.

[peterstass]

Love this doco. i'm a proud greek australian from sydney. We here relate to your experiences - 100% - we need to make an Australian version of this doco, there are many successful Greeks here that need to be exposed!1,000,000 greeks in melbourne..5oo,ooo greeks in sydney,,the greek fire burns stong,,

[10percentwierd]

@peterstass Well said!

[mynameisCmPunk]

Maybe they are,but greek never can be American,is like fire and water....different culture,style,characters,faces­(look),way of thinking,......even if they are Americans.they still are greeks

[BehelitOutlaw]

@mynameisCmPunk that's why they call themself greek americans or just greeks.

[hellinaras1]

@mynameisCmPunk This is truth Greeks they don't look like Americans (Thanks god for this!!) they are not blacks or Jews

[aggelospanatha]

Greetings from Greece! I went to the US for vacation last summer and it was awesome! The americans are the greatest ppl, very kind!

[am1966ath]

Indian-americans are wealthier and more numerous.......Greece itself is sinking economically and the greec-greecs do noshow any of the dynamism of the oversees greec.

[Mk4vP]

@am1966ath AHAHAHHAAH INDIANS 0 HISTORY 0 CULTURE 0 MIND

FUCKING NIGGERS

[am1966ath]

@Mk4vP Really, because you the greecs think that only you have culture and science?? is it therefore that you are sinking economically..did you ever have 8% economic growth..most of this is bullshit, greecs steal,cheat and many greecs fuck their relatives for inheritance..

[Mk4vP]

@am1966ath just compare our language to yours you will see a big diffrence...

also our economics are bad but only goverment's we will change that in 5 years much so doesn't matter..we still have way to much wage per capita than india we still have rich ppl and stuff..india is 1 billion and not even a famous ppl an athlete or scientist and we are 20millions and we have many..so stfu nigger

[CommissarASSHOLE]

@am1966ath

I know. You said it, man. I am a Greek-American and I thank god every day that I was born and raised in America and not in Greece. Most Greeks are enormously undereducated compared with other European nations, and many of them are very lazy, they steal and they do cheat while they like to call every one else "malaka".

Fuck Greece, it is one of the worst nations on this Earth.

[Taticius]

@CommissarASSHOLE Shut the fuck up you dirty nigga! I bet you voted for Hussein Obama as well...

There is no way you are Greek-American. You wish you were!

[CommissarASSHOLE]

Greek-Americans like you are such a cliche group and ought to grow the fuck up. They say that they are Greek, yet every thing that they do and say in the USA is purely American. Most Greek-American can not even speak Greek, they have no knowledge of Greek culture and they only claim that they have to Greece is that their great-great-grandfathers came from there. You trolls need to learn to accept the nation in which you were born and assimilate into society. Otherwise get out of the USA.

[CommissarASSHOLE]

@Taticius

Φαντάζομαι ότι εσύ δεν ξέρεις ούτε καν μία λέξη της ελληνικής γλώσσας--πλην των βασικών λέξεων ίσως (εάν ξέρεις και αυτές)....

χεχεχε αϊντε σε κανένα ίδρυμα Ελληνοαμερικανέ της πορδής.

Hahaha can you read that, Mr. "Greek?" Let me ask you this: if Greece ever turned downright hostile to America one day, will you find yourself supporting the USA...or perhaps...Greece? If your answer is not the USA, then get the fuck out immediately, traitor bitch.

[Taticius]

@CommissarASSHOLE

I don't answer meaningless questions...

I have a strong feeling that you were not raised and born in the US, otherwise you'd be proud of your heritage as every single Greek-American is.

BTW I can't read, but I can speak greek fluently you faggot!

Ohhh, and in which city did you say you live in the US???

[CommissarASSHOLE]

@Taticius You won't answer it, because you and I both know that there is a stark possibility of you wanting to say Greece...typical. One thing that I hate is "pride." What the fuck gives you this right to have pride? What exactly have you done? Nothing, probably. I speak Greek fluently too and I can read it very well. My parents are Greek. But I don't want to be "Greek." I am born and raised here in the USA, thus I am an American and I plan on living here for the rest of my life.

[CommissarASSHOLE]

My friends are all American, my thought is American and the job for which I am training currently demands that I remain here. I have no love for Greece, I hardly understand it.

I have met many Greek-Americans like you who pretend that they are Greek, but whose problem lies therein that they have not assimilated into society as they should have.

As for you, if you feel that you are Greek, then leave. We don't need your kind here that have no feeling for the nation in which they dwell.

[notgodsemigod]

@CommissarASSHOLE You say you are a Greek and then you say you hate Greeks which is kind of strange - you hate your roots or something? Then there is this problem - you hate so much Greeks that actually you are telling immense lies against them. You mentioned they are undereducated when the official EU measurements classify Greece by far the most educated country in Europe. Greeks classify of the most educated nations in the world currently, that is a measurable fact. However the question is you

[notgodsemigod]

@notgodsemigod The question is indeed you and your complexed position. On the one hand you claim to be Greek, you show off to 3rd generation Greek-Americans speaking Greek, then you go on against a huge livel against Greeks. What is the problem?

Are you really Greek? Or do you happen to be only related by proxy? Obama was raised in Indonesia and might speak a word or two in Bahasa, that does not make him necessarily Indonesian you know.

[CommissarASSHOLE]

@notgodsemigod I have no cause to lie about my origins. And I HATE folks like you who throw away that word "PRIDE" without having done any thing themselves. I think that you are utterly braindead in believing that you can change my mind. My reasons for despising the majority of Greeks are my own, and even if I clarify them to you, most likely you will not understand them whatsoever. (notice, I said here majority, not entirety. There are some good Greeks after all, just not too many of them.)

[CommissarASSHOLE]

@notgodsemigod

Actually, let me spare you the effort in replying by having me say that I won't waste my valuable time by responding back to every fool like you. You can go and fuck yourself, son. BYE.

[notgodsemigod]

@CommissarASSHOLE Whatever. It is you the asshole afterall. But whatever are your complexes (eg. Greek fucked you and then left you) why do you feel obliged to come here and say whatever?

I am proud of who I am. You do not even know what you are apart being an asshole. An asshole is either for shitting or for fucking. So get the fuck out of here.

[rockchickhotaru15]

@CommissarASSHOLE the worst thing on earth are your comments.My country had great philosophers and has great scientists.Americans are the bastasrds of British Spanish French and other nations.Lets just face it no american is actually amrican.It must be painful to have no indentitY.

[greekpussy]

@rockchickhotaru15 haha damn thats harsh my family is from greece but it sucks because i was born in america and every other country hates this one

[CommissarASSHOLE]

You must be truly dumb as dog shit if you can not accept American as an identity. Further more, it is utterly laughable how you believe that Greeks of today are a purely bred race. Also, your country HAD such things in the far past. The torch (unfortunately for you) has now passed on to the USA, Russia and other lands like Germany and France, and it has stayed there for a good while--ages ago. I guess that I should not await much of your kind: Greece has lately shown itself to be full of shit.

[galanisj]

@CommissarASSHOLE You are an american like Clinton's style...we have superiority..we can do all...america has torch..which? the torch of destroying others.make lands like kosovo to produce drugs...destroy economies with bank lobbies?Germany? the country killed millions of people? read history to accelarate your brain...your language is using greek things...all your life is based on greek and roman civilization and you can't get away so be cool..and enjoy the superiority taken

[rockchickhotaru15]

@Mk4vP You racist!!!!

[kojPRVpocna]

good video, good family people from south balkan and area around but nazi greek government should change their politics for minorities and to try to redeem itself from crimes against humanity and preserve it`s honor what has left for the sake of this honorable americans from the dry lands and islands of south balkan. i love you everybody

[DDEMEETRI]

It really is like having an extended family, even if our genetic origins are only faintly related we are still bound by the culture of Greece...proud to be a Greek American! Some people say that we are all just individuals and borders and countries and separative collective ideas are not good...but these people are not Greek :)

[slstr44]

watching this video I felt really bad and disappointed,because here in Greece we forget who we are...but these people,many miles away from here,are more Greeks than us.

[AVIATIO]

As a Greek American, I would prefer to be American over Greek...nevertheless, I still enjoy Greek culture & can speak Greek, a language before which I have enormous respect.

[aleks77r]

why would you prefer being American over Greek? as a Greek-French i won't prefer being one over the other..i am just both.even if it is difficult to deal with it because both cultures are so different

[efrosini1]

i LOVE GREECE!!! from a greek australian

footbalAC101,

I do agree that the root of immigration is money but the way you present it sounds as greed which is not true.

As for nobody wanting to imigrate to Greece i inform you that Greece has the highest rate of incoming imigrants (more than 12% of the nation) in Europe. Actually there is more immigration from US to Greece today than the other way around.

Ive been reading your comments though and I didn't really understood what is the point you try to make.

Please clarify.

[mpleportals]

just looking at the list of famous names listed by ellinikikardia in the video description...

don't forget maria callas, one of the most famous greek-americans of them all, and arguably the greatest singer of the 20th century.

[EvilEuro]

I can tell I'm not full Greek, I don't have the work ethic, I don't have general happiness they do.

[EvilEuro]

I'm more American than Greek American...this makes me sad now that I think about it.

I live so far away from all my Greek relatives...and I cannot even speak the language other than a few words and phrases.

[ArxaiosEllinas]

footbalAC101

You better stop ranting.You've already made a mess.

No immigrants in modern Greece ? How sure are you about that ?

I bet pretty soon with the crisis there will be Americans heading to Greece to work !!

[Hellenicswiss]

Nowadays, there are no greeks who immigrant to america because of money

In greece you earn more money if you are unemployed, than in america if you are a employee

[Hellenicswiss]

greece a poor country?

No one immigrates to greece?

greece has 1.5 million immigrants

[ImperatorGloriosus]

American Greeks are the biggest cliche group ever...they pretend to be Greek, but they are realy just xaza AmeriKLANakia that have an inferiority complex. Just accept it, Greek American brothers, you are Americans, not Greeks...your traitor parents saw to that when they gave birth to you in the USA.

[SOUDAKIS]

katse na mas afhsun na mpainoume sth xwra tous xwris visa kai meta elate na mas ksanapeite America has been wonerful and Great to us Greeks mr. Colts4ever123.. ;)

[otto1882]

History Channel? I said Discovery Channel. You can Google 'ice age Columbus' for it. If you weren't so lazy (or totally incompetent?) you could Google also some keywords like: european, skeleton, America, Kennewick Man, etc.

This explains perfectly the anomaly why some Indians have Haplogroup X DNA; DNA that only comes from White women. I bet none of this matters though because you seem hardly interested in the Truth... p.s. Vikings came to N. America before Columbus and your history sucks

[otto1882]

You are wrong, European man settled N. America before the Indians! When the Indians arrived they wiped out this small community. This is a fact proven by recent archeological finds. Currently, the oldest skeleton unearthed in the Americans belongs to a Europoid. Even the Discovery channel had a special on this. Next time get your facts straight before shooting your mouth off. America was settled first by Europeans!

[Moviemakerjjcasino]

I met George Stephanopoulos at Fr. Tom Paris retirement dinner recently. We spoke a little bit and felt the bond Greek-Americans have for each other.

[hellnbk]

That Greek in the begginng standing on his head dancing...THAT"S MY UNCLE ARISTOTLE KLIMENTOS!!!

[Colts4ever123]

America has been wonerful and Great to us Greeks and we also Love and Reapect America! Viva America ! Viva Hellas !

[Greekbouzouki35]

@Colts4ever123 we love you too but the helb from amerika to Greece must be stronger!!you see what the türks do to us!!dont forget it!Stop please to helb the türks!!

[Philflash]

I said it was FICTION in my written statement but you overlook it to try and use it against me. I don't have a "high regard" for the Greek Gods and I do not know where you get that notion. I am just showing examples where Greeks and Greece has had an impact on world events. You are all over the place on how you try to attack me. I am a Christian but how did it get into this discussion. I'm trying to figure out why you hate Greeks or feel you have to put down their achievements.

[Philflash]

Who knows? Maybe we were here like the Vikings, before the Brits and no big deal was made of it. And we might have left our legacy. Archeologists have yet to uncover this possibility.

[Philflash]

If we are "Devils" we are Devils with other Devils.

[Philflash]

Let me tell you something! Greeks are everywhere! Even in outer space! In fiction, Captain Kirk, TOS encountered Apollo. In his final speech of the episode, he lamented having to destroy him and ended his commentary about the importance of the Greek civilization!

[Philflash]

Yes

[Chris08TT]

its the greek spirit you idiot

Greece is just a government.

[Linktothepast83]

The same reason every other European left their country of origin in Europe to become American now.

Only the native Indians don't fall into that category, and don't know the answer.

[Thiseas1974]

How about stop beeing proud of your american part and start caring about your real nation instead?

You can't be a devil and an angel.

You have to choose. Unless you already have, in that case never mind...

At least these immigrants contribute to society. Unlike some minorities.

I hope you realize 98.63 of the USA is immigrants... i would think most immigrants contribute

[neonsector]

@dervit lawl.. immigrants, you moronic idiots.

When Greeks had a working government money, fame you fucking moneys were just that.

If you are speaking of America with a gimp 400 year history then you are a true moron.

But I guess your ancestors were native americans eh?
