It's not as racist as it once was 50 years ago, I know lots of friends n family living over there they're democratic states and most of the italian politicians there are for immigration n dont agree with a wall.

    The talk on racism was great. That line in the Godfather always haunted me, but it's based on reality especially seeing the crack epidemic; and the implicit acceptance of devastating those communities from law enforcement down to the drug dealers and everybody in between, including the mob.
    The nickname story is great. There was a 10 year old kid, in my neighborhood, that got a haircut and it look like peach fuzz to one of our friends, so he called him Peach. He is a grown man now and people still call him Peach. And as I'm thinking about it, I still can't remember his real first name. I just call him Peach :)
