Black Italians Knowledge Base
Why do Black Americans want to make Italians Black? If anything the Irish are more "black" than Italians. Both groups came over on Ships. Both groups intermarried more. Both groups were rejected by their Continent. Irish were hated by the English and Scots. Blacks were rejected by other Blacks in Africa. Black Americans are not Roman. So get off of this Hannibal myth that never happened. Next Blacks will claim the Jersey Shore as their own.
Who has the biggest egos out of Italians and black people? Italians always seem to make it known verbally that they are Italian. Same for black people. Both groups seem to love their race and have huge egos and pride in their race, but which one is really arrogant and why? Also, which one is more violent? Both groups seem to have short tempers and are violent.
why some people call the black spaniards and italians caucasian? some people believe that all the europeans must look all white.but for example penelope cruz and antonio Banderas do not look white..some italians look like hispanos and even some slovak and rumanian people are not white...so they belong to the caucasian group or not?
Why do Italians and Black people love their moms soo much? they are always bragging about them and never seem to ever resent them the slightest bit. they are always going about their moms make the best this, do the best at that, how awesome their moms are. along with their heritage they seem to brag about their family at least as much.
Why do racist whites call Italians "Black Dagos"? I heard these Southern Italians called Black Dagos because people believe they have high % of black blood. Truthfully, they only have around 3-5% Black blood while the rest is white. Why do they do this to Italians? Even Northern Italians call Southern Italians this.
Why do people think that Italians are black people? What is the history behind it? I'm just curious, because someone told me that I am just a light skinned black girl with a canoli.

Why do Italians dress in black to attend weddings? I am asking this seriously. I don't mean italian weddings in the USA just in Italy. I have spent a couple of Summers in the Amalfi Coast and would see weddings almost everyday and invariably almost all attendees wear black.

What's this I hear about Italians having black ancestry? I've seen several Q/A's about Italians having black ancestry. I'm Italian and I've never really thought about it.

Do Italians like Black People? I mean I have seen it on T.V. Italians seem to hate Black People. I have also encountered some not liking Black Men. I am not sure if it is because people say they are just like us, or because we come from the same people. From what I have observed we pretty much act alike. It just seems some of them look down upon us.

Is there something going on between Italian men and Black women that I am missing? I thought Italians and Spanish were quite racist countries (I'm from England where football is common and the Italian and Spanish are known for their racist chants to black footballers) but more and more on Yahoo lately I hear Black women praising Italian men and I hear of Italian men drooling over black women. Is this true? Hook me up with some examples please... Just to be sure ;)
whats up with the italians and black (i really want to marry an italian)? i am black. Um everytime a watch a italian movie black, and italian HATE each other y. I dont like racism i love all races.My mom was sayin she wouldnt approve of it she said why need to keep the race strong.No she a racist or so i dont think she is, so can i have the background for why the races dont like each other, Plus to end on gud note what do italian men like in their women and if it helps (iam kinda light skin and so is my mom and dad and sister: you guys prob didnt need to kno that sori i made an mistake she said we need to black the place race strong and united shes was brorn in 1964
why do people even think italians/sicilians are part black? the only europeans that have measurable african ancestry are the portuguese and it's only in a select few parts of portugal, like the azores. italy has had no involvement in the slave trade, is located nowhere near any countries with indigenous black populations, and have had no mass migrations of people of sub-saharan descent, and plus, no italians look black. i've even heard italian-americans themselves say italians are mixed with black. i just see no evidence for this being true, besides DNA tests show they have no more black ancestry than anyone else in europe, and substantially less than iberians. trina - where did i say i wanted to be part black?? trina - i am multiracial, and my mom is part black, i never said "i want to be black" i just stated facts, you don't need to be rude and snippy. this question is addressing italians being black or not (which obviously they are not), my mom is not italian so this has nothing to do w. her? moorish is not black. think of algerians and moroccans.
Why so many american people say that italians are not white? Can you show a photo of a black italian? i'm italian, i live in italy and i have never seen black italians, except some people tanned in summer, or italians citizens that are immigrated from some african nations during the last years. Can you show a photo of a famous italian american black, please? Anomalous: yahoo answers USA is full of hundreds questions that say that italian people haven't white skin Don M: my question call to show me a photo of a famous black italian! and also france, south germany, austria, poland, and ireland are catholic countries, and i don't think that the people who live there aren' black dom m, excuse me, but you are you sayng a lot of wrong things, because poland is located near scandinavia and next to german and russia, polish people are generally blondes with light eyes I think that many americans have got so distort vision of reality because they are racists or ignorant, about history and anthropology this is explain because nobody show me a photo of a famous black italian you are very strange, so we italians are green as aliens, because the olives are green http://www.azurs.net/photos/olive_verte_gros_plan.jpg I 'M STILL WAITING A PHOTO!!!! NO WORDS, ONLY PHOTOS, PLEASE!!! tridak: Franco Harris logically is black, because his father is an african american, only his mother is italian, and harris isn't an italian surname. so your answer is wrong. hundreds questions that establish that italians are black and nobody show me one black italian peternal: probably you don't any knoledge about italian history, 1) first because ethiopia was an italian colony only for few years, and far from italy thousands kilometers. 2) sicily was the most important colony in mediterranean of Normans (the vikings came from scandinavia), so in sicily is full of people that look like norwegians, or swedish, 3) italy far only some hours of car from germany, and confines with austria and france, in nothern italy are speaken celtic dialects 4) italy was invaded after the roman empire by barbarians come from german, france, and northern europe DO YOU USE BOOKS TO STUDY IN AMERICA? WHY DON'T YOU KNOW ELEMENTARY BASES ON WORLD HISTORY?
How come Italians and blacks have skin tones that protect them from skin cancer? This is only a question I have been curious about. Also studies have said over and over blacks age the best out of all races due to our brown or dark/ or light brown skin tones. Also I am a young little girl be nice. Yea, but highly rare. Heather I seen them and Italians also age well. All Italians are not dark skin. I see what you mean Heather.
Italians and Blacks, How do they feel? I know it depends on the person, but what do Italians think of Black people. Especially New York Italians? Would an Italian Mom approve of her son dating a Black Women? (Not like ghetto black chick just African American LOL :P )
why where the italians stereotyped as having olive skin black hair and eyes in the first place? who came up with that stereotype? the northern europeans? and why did they think italians were darker? is it because in the early 1900s 1910s ellis island immigrants.. everyone else was a northern and central european stock? and they never seen so many olive skinned dark eyed and haired people before? or is it because they thought italians where part black (no offence to italians or any other ethnic group) im just curious who came up with this stereotyping of italians referring to their skin color etc cause i read stuff like this before referring to italians being lynched in louisiana and to the term guinea wop dago! where the early southern italian imigrants that dark exoctic looking? and if so why? i read they werent just sicilians but everyone that was southern italian or south of rome like calabria naples campobasso puglia even abruzzo etc etc all of them were stereotyped! i also read that they stopped immigration from italians in the 1920s called the johnson reed act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson-Reed_Act how come i was never taught this in school? i didnt know american old stock whites were so prejudiced against italians! a bunch of assholes they were.. they favored western and northern europeans over italians and southeast europeans also the southern italians look darkern then the other oens from up north and the climate is hotter and they recieved geneflow from the middle east north africa all that made them look "ethnic" not all southern italians but this stereotype is persistent among many anglo people in the usa and australia
Do italians have african black arab blood in them? Hi, Im looking at many italian people and they look just like arab people, even the girls have dark skin brown and black hair and dark eyes they can pass as arabs. My question is what colour were the Moores? Some people say and ive been researching for long time, many good sources say Moors ruled europe and were black people and had the italian people as slaves. Im want to know more information because if Italians come to my country Russia we would think they are arab people or some mixture God bless thank you I make another question on this, I may want to also add that in Russia my old orthordox church had the Jesus Christ as dark brown skin man, his legs and hands pierced with nails and Jesus Christ had the dark skin on the cross. The Madonna Virgin Mary was also very dark lady statue and the Apostles pictures were dark people? how come is this? why history is being lieing in the west?
Why are italians so concerned with blacks? I dont understand what drives some italians to be so racist towards black people? Were not even worried about you and on top of that ive never heard a black person say anyting racist about an italian all my life. Im not saying all italians just the racist ones
Do Black guys not like to perform oral? I have heard that Black guys (Italians and Armenians as well) don't perform oral on women that they are with, that they consider it effeminate and a sign that the guy might be gay. Is this true?
My mom said italians don't like black people.? i was telling her i wanted to go to rome, and she told me italians didn't like black people. so i asked her how she knew and she said she had friends with family in italy. ...so is it true.?
Do you think Italians are black? I heard this once before and asked my father who knows a hell of a lot lol... he once told me the Hannibal the Great Invaded Italy as he was from North Africa and thats why today alot of Southern Italians are tanned with curley hair... What do you guys think? Im not sayin all italians like the northeners that are blonde and blue eyed but the darker ones... OK I live in Australia and there is alot of sun here and ppl here are white as hell... That is not the reason. Also where do arabs get there color from??? Egypt is Africa. If take a look at the world from afria where obviously dark people are from spreading across italy the middle east and greece ppl are tanned. And then mainly white in the rest of Europe. Its obviously a much broader subject then I first anticipated... I guess this also is the same for greeks and people off the middle east. They are all darker then other Europeans suck as Germany, England, Croatia. But to those saying that arabs are not part black is nutts. What about saudis? they are dark and have curly hair you could almost mistake some of them for Africans. Wow there is alot to the world as we know it... well I guess we all are related somehow someway ;) btw i meant such as not suck... no offence intended p.s bobby is a dumbass
do italians have black in them? you know that black guy name Hannibal many years ago. i think he conquered some place in Europe and his men slept with people there. i don't know the whole story so i cant really explain it well but if you know what i'm talking about, please resopnd.
do italians really hate black women? ive been reading on the iternet that italian guys hate not only black women but also black men and who ever is italian if you agree with hating black people please give me a very good explanation as to why
why are people always trying to say blacks,italians,and hispanics/latinos do all the crime? Me being sicilian american have seen alot of white americans i am in the white race but my ethnic background is sicilian for all the whites who are going to try to call me a racist.I am sick and tired of the ignorant whites trying to label us as criminals I am 20 and in my junior year of college i am majoring in psychology,my closest friend who is black starts college in the fall she is majoring in business management,and my other friend who is puerto rican is in her freshman year of college she is majoring in accounting.We have never been in any kind of trouble and was raised in middles class homes.I think it is jealousy and these so called statistics.When white american males are usually the serial killers and pedophiles but they don't want to talk about that just italians/siclians and the mafia,blacks and hispanics/latinos drugdealing.i have seen my fair share of white dope dealers and prisoners. I can call myself whatever i want there is not a spot on a application that says sicilian it is not a race and whites commit all kind of crimes crime is crime but touching children is the lowest so stop with the bs of saying we commit all the crimes and there are alot of us who actually do make a good living and dont resort to crime thank you and watch tv sometimes
Are Italians really black? I don't mean black skin. I'm Italian and I found out my Ancestors were Black. One of my cousins traveled earlier this year and told me Italy is part of Africa.
I offended a black co-worker by saying Italians contributed? alot to modern society (roman contributions), and that is all I said , he took offence, I wasn't trying to be racial Im stated a fact after he said blacks built this country. I wasn't offended , why cant I be proud of my Italian heritage?Was I wrong?
If Italians are so racist, then why do they go out with black women? im not white or black, although my parents are mixed with black white, east idian, i don't know where I stand, but i prefered to be considered black because i look mixed with black. but any way the point is that I don't chase men, but for some reason they always chasing me especially Italian men seem to have a thing for me lol I kinda like them too but since my cousin told me that italians are racist,and they stick to theire own kind and they only play around with blacks girls and never take them seriously. I begin to wonder about what she said, and now the feeling that i used to have for them is slowly fading away by what she said, eventhough I never get any racist expression from them. I think they the most friendliest people on this planet they always welcome me with warm heart and friendly welcome. so now after what my cousin told me, jst bother me so much that I stop talking to a few of my friends which happened to be Italians. I'm totaly confused about this situation
are italians/sicialians really part black? my mom's family is half from northern italy and half from the deep south (sicily)- we are all really dark hair/olive skinned. is it true there is african blood mixed and that's why?
How would Italians feel if a black player gets to wear Italian NT's jersey......? ... the world knows how racist Italians are but would we see street riots with KKK or just normal demonstrations in front of building of Italian FA???? @Dubya.... I will never agree with ANY Italian about ANYTHING.... either you like it or not, so stop acting some kind of pacifist because you're doing very bad job, you started all this all over again..... but if you want to take sides then go ahead, just let me know how to behave towards you then!!!! @Marco... that's U21.... I'm sure there will be big riots when he joins the big boys :)))) @massimo... you mean foreign players like Cambiasso... where was pride then??? @McGarth.... Liverani is not black, Eto'o is black....

Liverani was just too long on the sun :))) @Audi.... why do you answer if it's yawn..... if anything is yawn for me I just ignore it... it's really easy!!! @Dubya.... what the hell are you talking about .... HAHAHAHAHHAAAAHAHA... are we still talking football here???

What do Italian men find attractive about Black women? I am asking this questions, bc I generally thought that Italians and blacks did not get along. I am making this generalization from alot of racial tension depicted between Blacks and Italians in Spike Lee Movies. Maybe, their is a double standard between Italian females and Black Males and Italian Males and Black Females. Honest straight forwarded answers please.
Latinos,Italians,Hispanics,Black,White? Just curious.I hear a lot of people say things like italian women are hot or hispanic guys are sexy.What is it about them that you are attracted to.If you're a person that thinks that asian women are hot,are you attracted to the actual person or is it just being asian that you are attracted to. If you love italian guys are you looking at the person or do you think that all italian men regardless of looks qualify for being hot simply bcause they are italian. You can see where i'm going with this.Does the ethinicity matter more than the persons looks.
How come Italian men don't like black men? I was watching the movie "A bronx tale" which is very good, and all throughout the movie, the italian boys had conflict with the black boys. Why? And this movie is based on true events, so it must've happened. I mean, i can see whites and blacks having conflict because of slavery and segregation, but why Italians? what have blacks done to them?
Are there black people in Italy? i kno this might sound stupid but i just wanted to know if there were black italians...because usually when i see people from Italy they are white with black hair...im just curious i dont mean hair like a black person i mean their hair color is black
everyone do you see italians as black or white ? because they are white - why do the blacks say they are mixed with black ? they are chimp monks. i as an italian will in no way allow myself to be claimed by them as one of them or black, over my dead body. we are white!
I need someone to tell me why the school system continues to lie to our black children? From the rich asante kingdom of Ghana to the powerful Ethiopian empire that defeated the Italians, thus keeping the Italians from enslaving them, all we learn about is Europeans. Europeans have tried to prove that black people are 3/5 human beings and there is lots of literature that they have out thats trying to prove black people are apes. Psycologist tried to prove we are dumb; however when Africa was prospering Europe was in the dark ages. White folks stop wit the lies. The north did not fight the South because they had good morals for the sake of black people; that war was economic the north prospered better with an economy that depended on the industrial revolution while the south thought they would be better off with black labor. Thats all the war was about beef between the union and the confederates. The genocide in Africa is European created, do research did u know they are fighting over European boundaries. Before invasion of the Europeans Africa was united as nation states
How come people think Italians are "White People"? Italians are not white people at all, Italy is not even close to Europe so how can people call Italians white. Yes, they do have white skin but They are not white people at all. I like the tan dark ones with the sexy fine black hair. Itay is kinda close to "Africa" but Italians are midreannren decent
If Pastor wright brought Jesus to Obama, did he also tell Obama Jesus was black? Did wright tell Obama jesus was a poor black man controlled by rich Italians? Since Obama says Wright introduced him to Jesus, shouldnt anderson cooper, keith olbermann, etc ask him this question? We all heard Wright call jesus a poor black man living with rich italians. We all know Jesus was Jewish. Wow some you sound like pastor wright--scary!
What do you guys think about Black History Month? I don't quite understand it, black people have fought for years trying to be equal yet they feel they need a black history month. People shouldn't be proud of other people their own race, they should be proud of ANYONE that has done something good. If you think they should have a black history month because blacks have had a hard life, well many years ago Jews and Italians had a hard time with prejudice in America and they don't have their own month. I am not saying there should be a month for white people too. I am saying there shouldn't be a month for any particular race/ethnicity/culture. If we had to have a month it should be "Homo Sapiens" month, for all people.
What attracts Black women to white men, especially Italian ones? Im Italian and im noticing more black/latina women love them. I am attracted to women of color because of their beauty traits. So what attracts Black women to italians? or just white men in general? oh im single by the way...feel free to email me in the NYC area..lol
