staten italy
Little Italy neighborhoods in Staten Island. I don't know what that one racist cat is talking about. First of all, Italians aren't white at all. Most of us, especially Southern Italians, are dark-skinned. I am actually brown-skinned. We have been lynched (actually, we were the second most lynched group in the South, next to blacks), discriminated against, and shit on by WASPs and whiteboys every since we came to this country. My grandfather couldn't get into college because they had a quota for Italians, Jews, and Blacks. Italians have faced hardships and racism. Hell, you wont believe how many times I've been called "dago", "wop", or "goombah" in my life. So fuck you. Also, most of us are accepting of all different people of all different backgrounds. I got black, Irish, and Puerto Rican friends as well as Italian friends. Anyone who is a good person is alright with me.
"That asshole was badmouthing guineas in Staten Italy and Brooklyn. Fuck him and anyone who is racist against any group."

church hurt
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
