Italy has elected the first black senator

Obviously written by a right winger. Everyone that's woke knows it should read "Italy has elected the first African American senator".

[wheatmiller]

But...but...but...racism!

I believe conservative Hispanic candidates would also do well here with the same message.

...and there was great rejoicing, accompanied by exploding liberal heads.

Toni Iwobi

Can we assume this is the Bantu or Edo translation for "Clarence Thomas?"

[Vigilanteman]

While his positions may seem surprising given his own experience, Iwobi says that he does not oppose immigrants who – like himself – come to Italy legally and seek to integrate; instead, he says, his problem is with what he calls "the clandestine invasion": people who seek to stay in Italy illegally.

Sounds like a good guy. In my work, I know a fairly large number of immigrants who feel the same way and are more discerning than your average conservative between those who want to make their adopted country great versus those who simply want to milk it or turn it into what they think is just a better version of the $#*+hole they abandoned.

My wife’s uncle was a proud, patriotic naturalized American citizen-immigrant from Italy.

And it took him some effort, to do it legally. The part of his life used in his eulogy, was this aspect of his life-his American patriotism.

One cool guy, too. Drafted into Mussolini’s fascist army. Captured, held POW, escaped. War over. Went to law school but didn’t finish.

He visited relatives in America, met woman (who was attending medical school at USC). It was then he started working on means to immigrate legally.

The anti immigration league? Good God....you've gotta give this guy credit for having courage! I wonder if Mad Maxine would invite him to address a meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus.

In Italian,of course!

Imagine all the elitist leftist heads exploding if Sen. Iwobi had been elected Prime Minister of Italy instead of Senator ?
