Fair enough, I was not looking at it from that point of view. The recipients in this case are the immigrants not the government.

@Josette, you need to chill out a little bit

Could be one, could be the other.

At my age it is important to keep your mind ticking all the time. and there are so many who easily fall into my trap.
I really enjoy it.

I totally agree

-I find no glamour with “Phoenicians” but if I said Syrian I would be even less accurate, may be coastal Lebanese then.

[Daphne – Syro-Palestinian, not Syrian.]

-From the Roman world that directly dilutes and influences our modern world, their descendent the Carthaginians got a bad rap with their child sacrifices so Phoenicians or Carthaginians carry no special favours with me. There was claim of a DNA link with the Coastal Lebanese and the Maltese and therefor a claimed so called Phoenician link done by Spencer Welles.

[Daphne -Yes, but not a continuous link with Malta dating back to Phoenician times. The coastal area of Lebanon continued to be inhabited by descendants of the Phoenicians (the Lebanese) and we had a much, much later stream of ‘immigration’ from the eastern Mediterranean.]

-It is still Blacks that are wrecking cities in the USA, that they have kin that are little more intelligent and refrain from the extreme criminal low life behaviour does not change the fact that Blacks are the ones who cause this mayhem to the detriment of all others including decent Blacks and everyone else.

[Daphne – Not blacks, but members of the underclass. Every country has them. In the United States, lots of them happen to be black. In Malta, they look like you and me.]

-In Malta “hamali” are not going to shoot me because I took a wrong turn and ended up in the wrong neigbourhood.

[Daphne – They would, if they had free access to arms in the way they do in the States. It’s your gun laws that are wrong-headed. We have had more than our fair share of shootings in neighbouring Mosta: one of them a drug dealer who went out into the street in the middle of the day and shot at passers-by after snorting cocaine for hours. Another an old man who shot his spinster sister for burning his toast. I could go on. And the way people behave out on the roads, I have no doubt that if they were allowed to carry guns they would shoot, no problem.]

I still do not see the benefit of importing “Hamali on steriods” with an even more savage demeanor on a tiny and overcrowded island. This does not help the gene pool. You want to ameliorate the situation and not make it worse.

[Daphne – Shows how little you know. The blacks you are talking about in your home area are ‘hamalli’ because they are part of the underclass and not because they are black. Africans who come to Malta are not ‘hamalli’. They tend to be super-civilised and polite, much more so than most Maltese. You wouldn’t want to be judged, as somebody of Maltese origin, by the behaviour of those individuals who shout Viva l-Labour at coffee mornings for Silvio Parnis, so don’t do the same to others.]

-The Maltese of 1950s Kray brothers and the Richardsons Soho where amateurs and a blip in the history books compared with decades of degeneracy of low life Blacks in the USA, in fact Blacks were better behaved in the 1950s than now despite Jim Crow laws in the American South and open racism in the North. Now they got no restraint and they are going hog wild and think no one can stop them.They are very much mistaken.

[Daphne – You are quite, quite wrong. The Maltese were such a notorious and well-established part of the criminal underworld in London that their reputation is generally cited by researchers on immigration as one of the main reasons why Maltese immigrants into Britain made a point of ‘disappearing’ into the general community and assimilating themselves completely rather than forming knots or Maltese communities as they did everywhere else. They simply did not want to be known as Maltese in Britain because of the seriously negative associations and the assumption that they were criminals.]

-The Sicilian or Neapolitan Mafia does not wreck cities or kill and rob and rape innocent people or create no go zones.

[Daphne – You must be joking. Apart from the screaming great holes in this argument, exactly who did you think organised and controlled the networks funelling hard drugs into North American cities from south and central America? The very same hard drugs that led to all this secondary crime?]

-I would rather live in the worst part of Malta than in today’s Detroit or East St. Louis a thousand times over, you really have no idea.

[Daphne – Malta is a small island, not a metropolis. Your comparison is all wrong. You might as well say that you would prefer to live on a Greek island in peace rather than in the worst part of Malta.]

Silvio, it appears you are winding people up on purpose. If not, you are incredibly stupid.

Yes I am a mongrel and proud of it but I am not a black mongrel.

I am made up of Phoenician, Irish, English Italian, Jewish and Spanish descent which is a fairly common admixture in Malta.

[Daphne – Phoenician, really? Do you actually know how long ago ‘Phoenician’ was? You might as well say that you have Pictish blood, not ‘English’. I think you mean North African, Syro-Palestinian or Middle Eastern. But people always prefer to say Phoenician because they imagine it to be more glamorous. There is no direct continuity between the Phoenicians who lived here, and ourselves, because Malta was depopulated for a long while in between. Any Phoenician blood we have comes via our much chronologically closer Near Eastern and Tunisian ancestors.]

My great grandfather came from County Sligo in Ireland via the Royal Navy and one great great grandmother was from Pistoia of what became Italy.

In the USA the majority of blacks do not want to fit in and stop being destroyers of cities and a danger to themselves and any anyone else around them no matter how much tax money we throw at them via EBT welfare cards, free public housing, section 8 housing, education grants, affirmative action, preferential government job hiring, Afrocentric schools, and special dumbed down school courses so they can pass the exams etc.

You really have no idea how much we cater to them.

[Daphne – You’re not talking about ‘blacks’. That’s the fundamental mistake you make. You’re talking about the underclass. Every country has that. In the United States, there is a mixed black/white population, so the fact that there are black people in the underclass stands out, while the middle-class, hardworking blacks just disappear into the background. But there are as many white trash.]

We would LOVE for them to fit into society as the tax money spent on them per annum could have funded a NASA manned mission to Mars AND Venus and back to earth.

[Daphne – Well, Malta could say the same couldn’t it. And they’re not black.]

It only takes a small percentage of them as ne’er do wells from the whole general population of all races of Americans to poison the spring that everyone drinks from so to speak and good portion of blacks unfortunately are willing to fit that bill to a tee.

I beg to differ that African blacks are much different than American blacks as Somalis are a big problem in St Paul and Minneapolis Minnesota with drug gangs, murder and living off welfare cheques just like a lot of American blacks do.

[Daphne – The Maltese did that in London for decades: drugs, prostitution, white slavery, you name it. In fact, for a small island nation, we are pretty good at exporting crime, but fortunately, our name is no longer automatically linked to it. The same will happen eventually with Somalis. I find it fascinating that you fail to see the gaping hole in your argument: the Mafia in the United States.]

A city with a high percentage of blacks in the USA is a destroyed city, bar none, they did the destroying and no one else did this to these formerly magnificent cities.

Take a tour of these cities if you dare on your next holiday abroad and see if I am telling you a lie.

I am certainly not, with all honesty and candor.

[Daphne – Small time criminals. Nothing like what Sicily and southern Italy exported to the United States. Now that would be a criminal network any Somali would envy.]

They are the same way in Toronto with a huge police raid just last month on an very large pubic housing apartment block near Dixon Rd. by the airport that is infested with Somali refugees.

[Daphne – Infested?]

They are now in a drug and illegal gun running turf war with Jamaican gangs, the most blood thirsty gangs in North America.

[Daphne – Ah, but they won’t beat the Sicilians. Those have a massive headstart.]

We the general public would rally love for blacks to fit in and be law abiding as it is not their colour that causes whites or anyone else who is respectable to move away from them but it is their actions that destroy formerly decent neighbourhoods and anyone that they target as an easy victim for robbery, assault or rape or wanton cold blooded murder out of racial hatred and envy.

If you were living in USA you would avoid living near them like all disingenuous whites and liberals do no matter how much excuses they make up for their behavior and are willing to call anyone with a different point of view that tells the truth, a “racist” at the drop of a pin regardless of the evidence in front of their eyes.

[Daphne – Isn’t that normal? There are whole areas in Malta where I would never dream of living because of the people there. They’re all Maltese.]

You should check out some websites that dare speak the truth on what is happening in America, as not all are Racist or White Power sites. The news mass media is NOT reporting the real news anymore in the USA.
