Italians were Lynched in LA back in the days - 12/31/14 01:49 AM
Not just the 11 killed in New Orleans, but there were more, like in Tampa, Denver and Chicago. Let's not forget Sacco and Vanzetti, either. This is why we rolled with the blacks, hispanics, Jews and other minorities during that time. It's also why it pisses me off when I here paisans being racist towards the brothas.

Yes many Italians were lynched back in those days, Billoxi, Mississippi, Birmingham and Mobile Alabama, in the southern states, Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit in the northern states, Denver, Los Angeles, and Berkley in the western states. Most of those that were lynched were from Sicily or southern Italy at the time it seems.

Yeah, not just Italians, but German and Japanese decent as well during WW2. Imagine if it were England we were fighting, wonder what our government would have done if that were the case. The Japanese Americans that fought in Europe do not get enough credit as well as others.
