Idk, I just thought the people on here might find this funny given all the ironic Italian jokes I see on hexbear/Chapo. To see that it's spread to South Africa now

      He almost got done for tax fraud in 2005, but unlike Al Capone, he managed to escape scott free. Just deals in cigarettes, drugs and politics now. The usual.

      Just incredibly funny that randoms on twitter are giving him "honourary black" status lmao

          Nah you don't understand, we have to bat for this multi billion rand illegal cigarette CEO because the political party I vote for likes his money! That's just how it works.

          Oh yeah and Biden, if you don't vote for me you ain't black lmao. Guy is a walking gaffe machine.

      Yes, and it unironically gets parroted by Northern Italian fascists who say that about South Italians to come off as "one of the good ones" to the other nazis.

      To be serious, in South Africa I don't think we ever had anti Italian racism or anything like that, the boers came from many different European countries so it wouldn't really make sense. The worst I've heard was people calling the Portugese kids "Porras" in school to try bully them. So maybe we have an anti Portugese problem.
