Well it is, this isn’t new, or surprising, and it’s how the world works; there’s 340 million Americans, and 7 billion other humans. Yes, america is losing influence
It is buddy, in all aspects. Now if you wanna call this influence, tbh TikTok trends could also be called influence, but we are adults here and we're talking about economic influence, global influence in terms of bargaining power with leverage, the power to set global trade rules that favors the west, it's too long to get into, but the US is not as powerful as it used to be, it's economy is on life support especially because the massive amount of debt, and it's manufacturing power is in the hand of foreign countries, imma stop here but go look up those things

@@malignm1857 that doesn't mean anything, that is what helps a country to be economically and militarily dominant on the global stage, the US has lost the respect of many nations around the world, and political uprisings are easy to manufacture, chaos and destruction is not long lasting influence
@@fitradiin6454 some people seem to not understand , the reason the US military is allowed to get away with certain things is not by force but with the american people influence at home. Since WW2 the US government figured out if they promote what happens at home it builds influence around the world good or bad. If you’re trying to say Chinas influence will over take the US then you underestimate a communist mindset. Aggressive, Suppressive and always wanting more than what was given.

You think you are educated? Well history may not have been your major or minor. White people drew lines on a map and said that's your country now. Wars are won and lost. However not understanding the lasting effects is ignorance. White won the war and drew lines across different languages and different tribes . I am courius are vikings not all white man's overlords? Or are Germans smarter then Danish? Or vice versa? Are you not a product of being ruled? I wonder what makes you think you belong to an nation. The fact is you where enabled to succeed. People in poor countrys should take responsibility for there own resources. And not told they are stupid and other countries should profit from there land. (Who's invading who)
@@VOLCAL Your comment is very uneducated, Yes I do have a country. that doesn't prevent me from voicing my opinion on how other countries function. Italians do the same when they come to America, its just how it goes. Also, Its important to know how people who look like you are being treated around the world so your no surprised if you go.
So a bunch of Africans cross the ocean and invade a country with no visa and they should be allowed to do and own whatever they want and if italians object they are racists?
In my travels of Italy I was pushed in a grocery store in Naples, saw a argument between a black African and Italian guy at the train station, when me and my partner was traveling on the train we were refused a seat after we paid for our tickets and the Italians put their legs over the seat to prevent us and any blacks from sitting down on our 3 hour trip when we arrived it was much better. Rome and Milan was a bit more cosmopolitan by comparison to far southern Italy which was much like Athens. Great journalism
It probably is.. but they would shut the train down in the US if they tried to do that. Mainly because I believe blacks in the US actually feel some since of ownership probably due to not knowing any other place or home.
Soon if they try to defund their police the crime rate will rise exponentially. Just like what's happening right now in American cities that has defund their police. The irony will strike Italy if they go along with this idiotic movement bringing back segregation through using race baiting propaganda.
Tell me, since Italy exited Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Libya how's the life there??? Poorest countries on earth, slavery still exists, never ending wars, starvation etc etc.
This made me feel a myriad of emotions. It's sad and wrong that colonialism has birthed systemic racism all over the world. It equates to no real home on earth for people of color. America has it's problems for sure. But I thank God everyday for my ancestors, their fighting spirit for civil rights and their sacrifice to give me and my daughter a better life in this land. My prayers are for all of us everywhere!
You realize white people were the foundation of America right? Not saying you’ll do this but don’t ever say, black people are the foundation of America. It’s false. Not to sound “racist”.
I get that in terms of Africa being the home of us all! But I guess I need to clarify outside of where you were born...which was not West Africa for me or generations of my family. Nevertheless still blessed!
@@billybobby1914 actually enslaved black people are the founders of this country if it wasn’t for the slaves and for minorities in general America wouldn’t be the power that it is
Can you POSSIBLY imagine living in a country your WHOLE LIFE and then getting DEPORTED? I can't believe that happens in the home if MY ancestors... So sad.
Actually like they said in the vid, if you’re born there ur a citizen. It’s the ones that come at a young age illegally with their illegal parents that are deported. And yes it’s very easy to imagine. It happens in the USA all the time. There is paperwork and small fines associated with becoming a citizen in every country, even African ones.
@Solaris Why the hostility? Most people don't think of black people when they think of Italy, France, Britain, or other European locations. Obviously you don't understand what the commentor is trying to say, so why not ask if you are confused?
LOL. The African Citizens either were slaves or the equivalent of indentured servants and the Roman Empire heavily taxed the countries in the empire. Think Tony Soprano telling you that he'll provide protection to make sure your house doesn't get burned down. Not a lot of "progressiveness" in the Roman Empire for non-Roman citizens.
I lived in Italy for 6yrs, loved it! But it really opened my eyes that as beautiful as Europe is, I saw the dark sides too, prime example, racism. If you think racism is bad in America, you ain't seen nothing. Also, if you get a divorce in Italy, it's a nightmare.Getting anything legal done, is a nightmare, it takes forever as well. Prime examples is like the show shows being born Citizen.
I’m not white and I see how white people are treated in non majority white countries. Either way you will have some form of uncomfort or discrimination in any community where you are “different”.
We already know about Our Black History all, over the Earth before Slavery, and after Slavery. The lies that Sent around the Earth.and if it was not for the ( Moors) means Black, there would be no ( ITALY) no Civilized So called EUROPEAN Countries.
@@carolynedwards2689 Obviously you know nothing about Italia. The Moors have nothing to do with Italia. Spain was controlled by them for 750 years, not Italia. The regions gave them the boot quickly. The Italian is mixed with Greeks in the south. Not blacks. Get your history straight. Our language (Italian and dialect) doesn't have that language (Arabic)in it either like Spanish does.
News flash racism has been around for a very long time in every country as long their is hatred in people's heart their will always be racism this why we must teach our kids to love one another and not to hate otherwise they themselves will become racist as well
Jus soli or birthright citizenship is mainly found in the Americas, and not European or Asian countries. I'm not sure I'd call this BLM, this video is more about the discrimination experienced against immigrants and their children.
There's actually a bunch of native black Italians (2nd 3rd + generation) so thats only half true. The video is about Black rights within the country and Mussolini 2.0 affects both native and immigrant black people
BLM is evolving I personally don’t support the organization but I support the term black live matter and any discrimination, prejudice, or injustice the term can apply and I see nothing wrong with that if they want to use it to fight for their cause
@King Creed No one owns the earth. It's only a man made concept that we do. This was one solid piece of continent, so we're all spread out from where we originally evolved anyway. Birthright citizenship is in itself saying certain people have a right to occupy and own a certain area of land because they were born there- we're all born here. We already have that right. We just have let the governments of each country tell us how, when, and why for centuries- we got lazy and let them. People are finally waking up to what a joke governmental structures are and what clowns are in them.
I was an immigrant until I jumped through all the hoops in my country. I value that accomplishment because I worked hard to earn it. My journey to citizenship started in cuffs after 17 years in the U.S..
But the difference is there is a path to citizenship in the US, not so much in Italy. If there was, those individuals would work just as hard as you to get their citizenships.
@@lexi6797 At the time I was arrested there was not. There was supposedly only a lottery and you had to be in the country you applied from. I had two strategies the courts and I volunteered for the Army. Shortly, before I went to basic training I was granted citizenship and the judge naturalized me which was another level of citizenship that allowed me to pursue public office etc if I wanted. The point is there are always ways even when the law does not directly say so. But, acting revolutionary and disruptive is not the way. I acquiesced to the fact that I was illegal I bent the knee and I was humble before the court. It was the judge that said at the first hearing, "I only see one legal route for you young man join the military and your chances will increase." Take pride int he nation you want to be a part of and it will show prise in you. Otherwise what difference does it make where you live. You can not belong anywhere.
Well, that's a wonderful success story. That's why others are illegal until they finish the process. So should they be kicked out while trying to do what you've done??? I mean, after all, you were still at one time ILLEGAL PERIOD. What you did didn't make you any better than those that are struggling now TO ALSO DO THE RIGHT thing?.
@@pv8340 I smile when I see a black person earn something through their own hard work. This woman claimed to be about black lives, then bought a house in a gated community that is 98% white worth more than $1,500,000.

Meanwhile the founders of BLM are living the high life up there with the 1% and will never have to work again. Even the Mother of Brianna Taylor called them frauds. They never saw a penny of the money BLM claimed was being raised for them.

Wow. I had no idea about this. My wife is Italian (all 4 of her grandparents are from Italy) and I had never heard of any of this - it is so easy to obtain citizenship with Italian lineage even if you have never been to Europe (if you are white apparently)... For some reason I assumed Italy was better than this to their people.
@@JaysonT975 so a country wanting to protect their culture is bad? This isn’t America where it was built by immigrants it was built by Italians through a long great history and they don’t wNt to lose that. Let’s see how you like it once the Chinese start taking over African countries.
It seems like they love being there. People that have been in America for centuries don’t even love this place. They do nothing but waste resources, vote for people who exploit the land, and vote for poor environmental policies. They took the place from the people who were taking care of it, and they don’t even take care of it.
Let's compare with France. Plenty of peoples born there detest French and want them to be subjugated to the shariah law. Peoples like you were slaves during 3 centuries from the 15th to the 18th in North Africa until France attacked and colonized Algeria in order to stop them. There are many paintings depicting European women slaves there. They had to stop slavery in each country where France was present in Africa (except in Mauritania where Arabo-Muslims continue the trade) and it's not thanks to people having your thoughts. Peoples that want to live like in the country of their parents can go back to live in their country's ancestors. There is no right because you would be born in China while your parents traveling there.
It's a free world. We don't oblige peoples to stay in a country that they don't like or consider racist as long as their community has not take over the whole country and impose its own racism. Come into the French suburbs and if you're white or even Black (in capital letter, for this one) and you'll see how you'll be discriminated by them (Arabs chase Blacks too and vice-versa, just the whites have no solidarity between them). Just your media don't tell you or you don't know how to find the news because the peoples that govern hide this in the local newspapers.
Yeah, the same thing is happening in the USA. White people are being told they are inherently evil, and their kids are being taught this in public schools through CRT brainwashing.
Many Italians that are White also have Black and Arabic genes as well especially in the southern part of Italy’s peninsula and Sicily. That is the reason many Northern Italians look down on Southern Italians.
On god I be thinking the same cuz I watch a lot of videos about different cultures not just on race but like in India the mans midset set is so toxic the blame woman for them getting raped
When the comment came up about saying they wanted to live in the camp, I can relate. When your harassed and treating horribly all the time, it's relieving to have a place to go. No one wants to live in a migration camp, but when you have nothing and no one, it's a paradise.
Just stay in your own country, problem solved. Then there won’t be no conflict. If Europeans just swarmed to Africa in huge amounts I’m sure the native African people wouldn’t be happy about it.
Source: Library of Congress (loc.gov) "Attacks on Italians were not limited to the printed page, however. From the late 1880s, anti-immigrant societies sprang up around the country, and the Ku Klux Klan saw a spike in membership. Catholic churches and charities were vandalized and burned, and Italians attacked by mobs. In the 1890s alone, more than 20 Italians were lynched." This is from the Library of Congress.

Here is the actual quote with context. Speaking at a conference in Sweden's third-largest city of Malmo, home to a large immigrant population, the Dalai Lama -- who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 -- said Europe was "morally responsible" for helping "a refugee really facing danger against their life". "Receive them, help them, educate them... but ultimately they should develop their own country," said the 83-year-old Tibetan who fled the capital Lhasa in fear of his life after China poured troops into the region to crush an uprising. "I think Europe belongs to the Europeans," he said, adding they should make clear to refugees that "they ultimately should rebuild their own country".

@@0shadowgrace0 You're half right but most countries are made up of a majority race.

Nothing to be sorry about. The passport thing is an internationally recognised practice. These are the documents required to apply for Nigerian citizenship: Passport Photograph. Birth Certificate. Evidence of Means of Livelihood. Tax Clearance Certificate. Residence Permit. First 5 pages of International Passport including Data Page. Guarantors' Downloaded Form. Guarantors' Passport Photograph. Guarantors' Curriculum Vitae. ID Card (Driver’s License/International Passport/National ID Card) of Guarantors'. Evidence of Socio-Economic Contributions. It's just easier to call everyone racist rather doing what they have to do.
It’s really hurtful to see how we all suffer from the same problems but in different countries. It will be a long fight for us to be finally seen as equal to white people.
The problem is the black countries are the poorest and most corrupt countries. Not one single black nation, is a first world nation. The black minority populations throughout the developed world are also poor. We have to get ourselves together before we can worry about how others perceive us.

@@TinaMcCall.

(But they're 200 years late.) Also what do you mean humans subjugating non-human animals? Animals literally aren't aware of how society works, we can barely communicate with some animals and we can't incorporate them into society even if we tried. The other take was actually reasonable as it was partially true, but the last one that relates to animals being subjugated is beyond stupid. What do you want us to do.
Yes because we all know the greatest humans are the ones that sit there and do jack while the other ones grow exploring and discovering like imagine trying to goof on people for pioneering
Until African countries unite and start taking ownership of their natural resources, black people around the world will be dealing with this kind of treatment. The motherland has to be great for us to be treated with respect as a race. Things are getting better on the African continent, fortunately. Better days are ahead. #Panafricanism
Equal opportunity not equal outcomes. Their immigration policy just needs to apply to all foreigners equally. Any country has the right to decide who they allow in as a citizen.

@Perry Golston perry, are there millions of italians in africa? Even during italys horrible imperial days there were thousands not millions and there are no trace of them left today in africa
Maybe because Italians want to protect their culture and identity and encouragement of giving people who illegally come in incentives more to come and they lose what they built.

@@miaa1762 If Italian law says you have to have Italian blood to be a citizen and if you're not Italian why should you have a say in how they run their country?
You know where there might be less racism towards black immigrants? Africa. Haiti perhaps? Why isn't there a sense of dreaming and aspiration to go there? Because people insist on a parasitic relationship wherein they want the utility and ease of a civilization already built for them. Other countries, built by centuries and decades of families and tradition, don't owe newbies anything, nor should they. This whole racism=bad is a fairly new concept in human history. If you look at the large swath of history, it is clear that all civilization, all history, is based on race and lands. To presume anything else is sophomoric, selfish, and nihilistically individualistic, even dystopian. Just because racial equality has been "trendy" in academia and media circles in the past 40 years in The West, doesn't make it moral absolutism. If people are so proud to be black, why is it a stretch to suggest finding your roots in Africa and healing and building that continent? It seems childish to squat on Italian land and enjoy the fruits of Italian culture, then demand to become a citizen. Look at Japan: almost zero black population. Latvia, Poland, same. Africa's inability to address its overpopulation problem shouldn't have to be the burden that falls on the shoulders of the rest of the world. Japan has an even stricter immigration policy than Italy, and they enjoy very low crime, a thriving economy, and a high trust society. It's due time for modernist race romanticizers to be a little more realistic about race and how it effects a nation's culture. Laws are determined by the populis, which is determined by race. Outsiders can't just come into a land, and make demands to change the laws and existing culture. If Italy welcomed more migrants, Chinese, Indian, Brazilian, Canadian, whatever, they would lose the spirit of their country, and we as humanity would lose for essentially enabling their specific culture to go extinct. People can get away with rampant individualism in America, and in large cities, but the old country is fantastic, incredible, and unique, precisely because it preserves and values the community: not of 20 years past, but 2000 years past. No hate, just saying, people should look into their own history and culture before terfing off of the accomplishments of other global tribe's civilization. Respect yourself enough to be respectful of civilizations that are not yours to lay claim to in the name of a wave of individualistic progressive values that, gasp, not everyone shares, nor will they. Europeans are critical of America because they try to project their values on the rest of the world. This is the case here. All of human history has been, and will always be, about race and land, to think otherwise is niave.
@DanceThisDanceThat that was cringe, I’m black and I don’t understand this whole movement of “new” blacks wanting to be accepted by whites so bad. You complain about them non stop but want them to accept, I can care less about white folks liking me.

In fact; your “hustling struggle” is a much better contextual phrasing than the loaded concept, terminologically, that comes with use of the word “slavery”. [& before you jump on the fact that it was prefaced with “tantamount to”, I would encourage you to check your reference material concerning it’s definition]
@@ArtOfficialKreations “Forced,” because now you have no choice due to surrendering proof of identity, to find another employment... I understand clearly what I meant. It’s not like they could request for an ID replacement from a government building that doesn’t want to recognize their residential status. [Tantamount comes from the Anglo-French phrase, “tant amunter” meaning "to amount to as much." This phrase comes from the Old French tant, meaning "so much" or "as much," and amounter, meaning "to ascend", "to add up to” or “to be equivalent.”] Aside from not being owned/purchased by a slave owner, it doesn’t take away the fact from how they’re being treated, which still seems tantamount to slavery.
Been to Italy twice, the second time last year in 2022, and I was appalled by the blatant racism I've faced. Don't go waste your money in this country if you're a tourist!
@@DDIISSEE Yes because of the Europeans who divided and conquered the country and now after it's been robbed of its riches and conditions reflect that they want to leave. So what your saying is the only place white people should exist is in the Caucasus Mountains. They should leave Africa India America ect. We can take it a step further but what you're saying by also stating braids locs slang food music clothing names shouldn't be copied either, even a minimal amount of research would've prevented you from making such a stupid comment but no you decided to get on the internet and talk out of your ass. I was born in England my parents are Jamaican I was raised in Brooklyn, the father of my children is African American and Sicilian. People like you are everything wrong with earth
Your statement didn't come from a place of respect for other cultures but more of a icky stay over there place ..if y'all only took the advice you gave😂😂😂😂
I'm a black American married to a woman with Italian heritage. Because she is able to trace her ancestry to a particular village, she and our children were able to easily apply for and receive Italian citizenship. My children are considered Italian citizens although they don't speak Italian and have never set foot in Italy. Makes no sense. I'm so sorry that these black Italians which are actually Italians are having to struggle in this way.
It’s a shame that European politics take a backseat in the lives of most Americans. This is disgusting. These “undesirable migrants” often speak 3 languages and work hard. Italy doesn’t recognize the talent they have.
This really should have been 3 or 4 different documentaries. Doesn't do justice to one topic because they've all been sort of mixed up. Otherwise just do an immigration to Italy doc, but include European immigrants. The law applies regardless of race and if not show us how.
Didn't even realize Italy had this issue. SMH. It's baffling and humbling to see how worldwide this has spread. Don't treat people differently based on what they cannot control. It can't be that difficult.
Lol. The only thing that has spread is liberalism and bogus progressive mish mash American values. All of human history has been centered around races and lands since the beginning of time.
We are going to see the back lash of all the nationalism, left right in fighting, and general global power militaristic tension. *This is a very similar situation to pre WW1* if you really look at events and ideology
@@devonbonstein6156 all of the ideologies flopped and switched immediately after ww1 but before it there was no competition to the governments inpower at the time
Who knew Italy still slaves black people to this day? And yes, it was the worst colonial too, literally every country it colonized ended up with civil wars.
It's amazing how Italy's national and cultural animal the wolf has packs in many different colors (white, black, grayish/brown) that accept each other, but the humans in Italy still have to work on that. I think the more solidarity that Southern Italians work with sub-Saharan Africans, North Africans, and other immigrants at least for those who wish to assimilate or at least integrate to Italian culture (broadly speaking) for advocating equality and inclusion in Italy as a whole, the better. It would be a whole other revolution or neo-unification. Historically much of the power and politics in Italy rests in the north part of the country and the hierarchy of social/political/and economic structure I would argue is reflective of that. It would be a whole other documentary that Vice could do, but Italy has a history of internal colorism among the stereotypical depicted representation of Northern fair skin Italians and Southern olive skin Italians. This often gets overlooked outside of Italy and it is an issue somewhat comparable to the racism that exists between mainly northern Italy (and less so in the South) and non-Italians. Colorism exists internally in Italian culture and I'm saying that from first hand experience as well as from analyzing historical records and scholarly sources. Anyways, the more solidarity among the socially disenfranchised in Italy (Southern Italians and non-Italians living in Italy) demanding for social, economic, and political enfranchisement as well as change in general, the more likely I think that meaningful results would be made in Italy.
Italy does not need or want non italians and especially not non europeans. What needs to occur is for anti-italian bigots to stop flooding the country with africans and other foreigners in an attempt to genocide our culture, people and blood.
Being racist isn't a part of the American culture to be proud of. If you travel, that what America is most known for, Systematic racism. Other countries use this template to keep those who aren't rich and powerful at a disadvantage
I'm white and I moved to China expecting citizenship but because I'm white nobody will ever consider me Chinese!! The problem with China is that only Chinese people hold government positions of authority. I totally emphasize with Africans who expect to be president of Italy or who want to have both African and Italian and Norwegian citizenship. I'm pushing to give everyone who visits the US citizenship. I want to pay for everyone's healthcare on earth. I want to print money and just give it away to everyone! Love!
I just want to be treated like a human being lmao. Idk what your on about? Regardless if you are born in Italy, grew up as an Italian, then I don't see the problem.
@@marcosburgos8415 I never mentioned Italy. I asked why nobody considers me Chinese even though I was born in China. There is no white guys like me running the government in China either. You can't see the connection between my story and this story because I am white, I understand. I just want the Chinese to treat me like a human. Why does being born in a country even matter for citizenship anyways? Why can't I get citizenship to every country on earth? That's the question? Why do I need to pay rent when native Americans never paid rent? Why can't I live in your house rent free? These are the questions to ask yourself!! Good luck
@@snowwhite3212 Because your intentionally asking disengenious questions. You compare being treated like a human being to "printing out money and giving it out or "letting people live in your home rent free" It's obvious dogwhistling and quite ignorant to the actual issues.
