  • But aren't they usually in the mafia???lol

  • Thank you for telling the truth about our people's history and early social conditions in America. We Italian Americans need to know la storia, as does everyone else.

  • @TatooineBoy Thank you for your bigoted comment. Now be on your way.

  • "you're talking to me" ?

  • Italian Americans need their own political party. The Republicans and Democrats are are busy satisfying the interests of Mexicans, Blacks and just about every ethnic group except Italians.

    There are 17 million Italians in the US. They need to organize themselves.

  • @TatooineBoy I've always wanted to go to Italy, mean it's my culture & I'd love to see it.

    Iam Australian born but one day I'll definitely go there.

    When you say Iam one of the 5% can you elaborate on this?

    Australia is very multi-cultral & yes we do have our Italian gangsters here however a majority of Italians are not like this. We are just average people.

    But yeah, can you explain this 5% thing?

    Thanks so much for your time... :0)

  • This is a tremendous video that should be watched by all Italian Americans. We are constantly under attack and stereotyped in the mass media, and need to fight back and spread greater awareness of just how bad it is. Bravo Professore!

  • @DavinaFaerie Indeed you are one of those 5% of them.The rest 95% of italian-americans Are how they are portrayed in the media -even Frank Sinatra was involved with the mob-.Also, come to Europe to see how the italians discriminate albanians and romanians in Italy.

  • Exactly, great points.Italians aren't all Gangstas & we are definitely not the guido tanned spiked hair types. These stereotypes are so pathetic.

    One very smart Italian. Thanks for posting.
