Italianos Amore Americanas

Guess what? I found out how to work the TV in my flat…yeah! Anyways not really to my surprise they Love Snoop Dogg in Italia! I know this is old but he was on the Italian cover of L’UOMO Italian Vogue a while back looking amazing. He’s all over the TV out here and they definitely bump him in the clubs. A skinny dude from Long Beach sure has come a long way. No reason for Snoop to “Lay Low” overseas…LOL. However Snoop is not the only brotha to grace the cover of L'UMOMO; icons such as Michael Jackson and Pharell have posed too.


That brings me to my next point; the diversity in Italia. There are people from every nationality here, it’s amazing. I mean the Asian and African population is overwhelming, coming from a place like the United States. They even have some Ristorantes with signs in Japanese. The only disturbing thing in Italy thus far is that the Africans are so institutionalized and ignorant, they call me “Brown Sugar” and “Brown Girl”...as if they are not darker than me? If they do care about skin color, the Italians are not as blatant. But then again I don’t blame the African men…look at what Europe has done to their country, their psyche, and their self esteem. And they are just like back home…bootlegging everything, from bags to belts, to shoes. It’s really sad…but hey Hussel, hussel, grind, grind, grind….
