Few shows resonate with the general public like the ones broadcast on Music Television (MTV). Consider the incredible popularity of Real World, a reality show in its 24 season that puts diverse young adults into a remarkably beautiful home and merely rolls the camera as the drama unfolds.
Black people love these shows, because Token Blacks appear in each season and bring a semblance of peace to the show and act as the beacon of morality.
However, one show is currently airing on MTV that Black people find befuddling, for it appears to be a show about white people, yet curiously, the white people have a rather dark tint to their skin that can’t be explained away by prolonged exposure to tanning beds.
Yes, SBPDL is bringing up Jersey Shore, a show so incredibly mind-numbing that one finds illumination in the commercials between each episode:
Jersey Shore is a reality television series on MTV that follows eight housemates spending their summer on the New Jersey Shore. The show was filmed in August 2009 in a summer share in Seaside Heights but was also filmed in other towns such as Toms River and Neptune. It follows the eight housemates in a Real World-type style while they live, work and party at the Jersey Shore. The show debuted amid large amounts of controversy regarding the use of the words "Guido/Guidette", portrayals of Italian-American stereotypes and scrutiny from locals because the cast members are not residents from the area.
Americans of Italian descent have found the show incredibly offensive, for the varying personalities on the show all reflect certain aspects of Italian-American subculture that the gatekeepers of Italian refinement wish to be kept secret:
“The show plays upon the stereotype of the guido, prompting criticism from groups such as the National Italian American Foundation,[62][63] UNICO National,[64] and the Order Sons of Italy in America[64] for using "ethnic slurs, violence and poor behavior to marginalize and stereotype Italian-Americans".[3][64] Prior to the premiere of the show UNICO asked MTV to cancel the show because of the apparent play on stereotypes from the promos.[65] UNICO National President Andre DiMino said that the behavior in the promos is offensive and stereotype-promoting and that "MTV is using very pejorative terms, 'Guido' and 'Guidette,' to promote a program and as a corporation that is not correct."[66] After the show premiered, UNICO National claims they "can't keep up with the volume of calls" from "outraged" Italian Americans.[67]
UNICO National President Andre DiMino said in a statement "MTV has festooned the 'bordello-like' house set with Italian flags and red, white and green maps of New Jersey while every other cutaway shot is of Italian signs and symbols. They are blatantly as well as subliminally bashing Italian-Americans with every technique possible. ... (The cast members) are an embarrassment to themselves, their heritage and their families.[64]"
Linda Stasi, an Italian-American New York Post columnist, criticized MTV saying that Jersey Shore is a show "...in which Italian-Americans are stereotyped (clearly at the urging of its producer) into degrading and debasing themselves -- and, by extension, all Italian-Americans -- and furthering the popular TV notion that Italian-Americans are gel-haired, thuggish, ignoramuses with fake tans, no manners, no diction, no taste, no education, no sexual discretion, no hairdressers (for sure), no real knowledge of Italian culture and no ambition beyond expanding steroid-and silicone-enhanced bodies into sizes best suited for floating over Macy's on Thanksgiving.”
Wait, what exactly is a guido?:
Guido is a slang term for a working class urban Italian American. The guido stereotype is multi-faceted. Primarily, it is used as a demeaning term towards Italian Americans, as the word guido is derived from either the Italian proper name Guido or a conjugation of the Italian verb guidare.
Yet, all the fuss over the continued denigration of Italians on Jersey Shore is lost when one views the show, for the participants appear to have incredibly dark skin that shockingly might not pass the paper bag test.
Some of the individuals of Italian descent appear to be light-skinned Black people and their cultural predilections appear to coincide with the Black ghetto norms.
Why is that? Why do these white people look Black? Well, we have the Moors who conquered Sicily to thank for that and these “Italians” on Jersey Shore all appear to have a plethora of Sicilian blood pumping through their veins:
The Arabs, who in medieval times were sometimes called "Saracens" or "Moors," have been identified since antiquity (in Assyrian records dated to circa 850 BC), but until the Middle Ages they were not unified as a people. In the Early Middle Ages, it was Islam that united the Arabs and established the framework of Arab law. Initially, most Muslims were Arabs, and during the Arab rule of Sicily their Islamic faith was closely identified with them. (Even today, many principles believed to be tenets of Islam are, in fact, Arab practices unrelated to Muslim ethics.)
The rapid growth of Arab culture could be said to parallel the dissemination of Islam. Except for some poetry, the first major work of literature published entirely in Arabic was the Koran (Quran), the holy book of Islam, and one may loosely define Arabs by the regions where Arabic was spoken in the Middle Ages and afterwards. Arabs were a Semitic people of the Middle East. The Berbers of northwest Africa and the Sahara were not Arabs, though many converted to Islam, adopted Arabic as their language and assimilated with Arab society. Though most parts of Sicily were conquered by Arabs, certain areas where settled by people who, strictly speaking, were Muslim Berbers. Like many Berbers, some Arabs were nomadic.
Wait, you may be wondering, what does this mean? Simply put, genetic evidence through DNA sequencing shows that modern-day Italians of Sicilian descent carry an abnormally large amount of African mtDNA and more so, genetic evidence from the Y chromosome- lineage in Sicily confirms the presence of Black ancestry.
Thus, why the Jersey Shore stars lack the skin tone of white people and reflect the darker pigmentation of their great, great, great ancestors.
Perhaps, a scene from True Romance can best punctuate the reality of Sicilians and how this relates to Jersey Shore. The scene has Christopher Walken – playing a Sicilian – and Dennis Hopper discuss the history of Sicily. Hopper’s character knows he is about to die, so he lets history speak for itself:
Coccotti: Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I'm a Sicilian. And my old man was the world heavyweight champion of Sicilian liars. And from growin' up with him I learned the pantomime. Now there are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies to give him away. A guy has seventeen pantomimes. A woman's got twenty, but a guy's got seventeen. And if you know 'em like ya know your own face, they beat lie detectors to hell. What we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin'. But you're tellin' me everything. Now I know you know where they are. So tell me, before I do some damage you won't walk away from.
Clifford: Could I have one of those Chesterfields now?
Coccotti: Sure.
Clifford: Got a match? Oh, don't bother. I got one.
Coccotti: ...your son, the cowboy, it's claimed, came in the room blazin', and didn't stop 'till they were pretty sure everybody was dead...
Clifford: You're Sicilian, huh?
Coccotti: Yeah, Sicilian.
Clifford: You know, I read a lot. Especially about things that have to do with history. I find that shit fascinating. Here's a fact, I don't know if you know or not, Sicilians were spawned by niggers.
Coccotti: Come again?
Clifford: It's a fact. You see, Sicilians have black blood pumpin' through their hearts. If you don't believe me, you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, you see, the Moors conquered Sicily. And Moors are niggers.
Coccotti: Yes...
Clifford: So you see, way back then, uh, Sicilians were like, uh, wops from Northern Italy. Ah, they all had blonde hair and blue eyes, but, uh, well, then the Moors moved in there, and uh, well, they changed the whole country. They did so much fuckin' with Sicilian women, huh? That they changed the whole bloodline forever. That's why blonde hair and blue eyes became black hair and dark skin. You know, it's absolutely amazing to me to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, that, uh, that Sicilians still carry that nigger gene. Now this...[Coccotti laughs]
Clifford: No, I'm, no, I'm quoting... history. It's written. It's a fact, it's written.
Coccotti: [laughing] I love this guy.
Clifford: Your ancestors are niggers. Uh-huh. Hey. Yeah. And, and your great-great-great-great grandmother fucked a nigger, ho, ho, yeah, and she had a half-nigger kid... now, if that's a fact, tell me, am I lying? 'Cause you, you're part eggplant.
Coccotti: Ohhh!
Clifford: Huh? Hey! Hey! Hey!
Coccotti: You're a cantaloupe. [shoots Cliff in the face]
Jersey Shore is a show that people find funny, amusing and infuriating. But Black people find it perplexing, for these purported Italians have a strange look to them that can only be explained through the prodigious copulation rates of the Moors and the white people in Sicily.
Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes Jersey Shore, for the “white people” featured in the show carry the genetic markers of their Moorish ancestry and, if the one-drop rule is in effect, are really Black people.
Thus, the strange behavior of the characters on the show shouldn’t create consternation among Americans of Italian descent, but merely infuriate Black people everywhere.Hey, are we lying?

SBPDL,
You have got to be kidding with this post. I am one Negro that loves shows that highlight white people making fools of themselves. I really love how this show in particular left out the mandatory token Negro
Everyone knows that "reality " TV is far from reality. So, the producers of this show were smart enough to realize that inserting a Negro in the mix would be complete BS. Outside of Boston, New York and New Jersey are the most segregated states in the country. The few black people "hanging" out in the real Jersey shore are either tourists or some white "liberal" hipster's token Negro "best friend". The lack of blacks on the show is not racism at all. It's the only thing real about this "reality" TV show.
Is that Snookie chick a midget? Am I the only person that is freaked out by her?
-Black guy
no thanks!
Boston isn't a state.
You know what, I was wondering when they were going to have a reality TV show with all or mostly black cast members, then I remember that they do, it's called COPS. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa
anon 1/22/10, 3:44pm,
My most sincere apologies for my grave error.
-Black guy
This was one of the most stupid, spurious, and misleading post I have ever read on a blog.
The majority of moors were arabic, and those bone-heads use tanning beds.
By the way black guy snookie is an ugly dog.
I guess "prodigious copulation" is one way of looking at it. Mass Rape would probably be more accurate.
And the current rates of black-on-white rape being what they are, you could say that not a lot has changed in the past several centuries.
No worries.

Arabs are not Negroid
Once again you manage to be complete jack ass. The only way to prove that black people dont like Jersey Shore is if you take a pole or show some evidence that blacks dont like the show. I watch the show and its funny. I think the show about a bunch of Italian people acting like rich jack asses doesnt offend any black people. Italians didnt support the civil rights movement so who cares how they feel.
Obviously, no one gets the point of this post. Watch the clip from True Romance. Look at the pictures of the cast of Jersey Shore.
They are all Sicilian. They all have Black blood running through their body. Black people, not Italians, should be upset with this film.
Just like Christopher Walken in the famous scene above, from True Romance.
And yes, Snookie is an ugly canine.
Anon... in what way was the most spurious post you have ever read on this blog?
Love to know!
Hrmmm...
Should we start raging on the Irish yet? The Irish have a pitiful IQ test average. I personally, have at least one good scar I can attribute to an Irishman. Yeah, what's up with that?
Says the pompous German named,
Dave
Once again you are exceptionally racist. I think that this what 21st first century racism looks like. It is very subtle and very offensive. I dont know your race but you definitely harbor dislike or anger towards blacks. Some Sicilians have black in them but few. Most Moors were black, arab, berbs or a combination. If all Sicilians had black in them it would be so died down that it would even make 5% black. Because of its close proximity to Europe. So when a white person attacks another white person I guess it must be the native american blood in them right? Do see the moronic point you made?
Last ANON,
Look at the photos of the Jersey Shore participants. They don't look white. DNA sequencing and genetic evidence showcases a 10 -15 percent Moorish/African ancestry for Sicilians.
PLus, I've long wanted to have the video from TRUE ROMANCE on this site, and what better way then to associate it with the show Jersey Shore.
unless they have spray on tanner encoded in their dna, nothing natural can be attributed to their skin color.
The line you're referring to in "True Romance" was nothing but liberal, Afro-centric Hollywood propaganda! Sort of like when Hollywood attempts to portray "Othello" as a Sub-Saharan African when he actually an Arab.
These kids on "Jersey Shore" are classless, blue-collar white trash who use tanning beds. As a person who has a Master's degree in Humanities and Anthropology, I can assure you that the Moors were not "black" as in Sub-Saharan Africans. The Moors were Arabs. Berbers are a Medittaranian people with olive skin, but still Caucasoids.
The DNA markers you're referring to are "North African" not "Sub-Saharan African" and there is a HUGE difference! Trust me! And, in case you were curious, No, I am NOT Italian. On the contrary, I am of Germanic, Jewish and Scandinavian ancestry.
What a ridiculous load of nordicist shit this is. While sicilians do have a higher degree of non-white ancestry than the rest of Italy, it's still quite minor. Most of the moors were north africans and arabs. The black component to their ancestry is minute.
Sicilians aren't the only dark italians. Maybe you should stop stealing pages from MOTT for updates. But hey, thanks for showing off the insane nordicist undercurrent of much of modern white nationalism, that still won't go away even in 2010.
Yeah, this is false. MOST, if not ALL the blacks at my school and on YouTube LOVE THIS SHOW!! WOW. One us black girls love Italian men!! mmmm
Plus this show is funny as hell. I never heard of any black person besides you hate it.
It's official, this blod doesn't present the black masses, just you. I can't agree with anything.
annokafor66,
All I can say is, I hope you're not a black woman.
-Black guy
The only substantive difference between Sicilians and your sister is that Sicily was invaded by the Moors 1000 years ago, and its women raped; while your sister, on the other hand, gave it up to Tyrone voluntarily after a night of Jell-O shots because "that's what all the white girls on tv do!" Then she crinkled her Nordic nose in annoyance and asked you why you be trippin' and shit.
I can imagine how much shit Vin Diesel had to put up with when he was in high school.
If you didn't know, he is half black half Italian.
You see? See what happens? We black people just need to take a little pride in ourselves and stop f'in around with these other races who blatantly and unapolagetically refer to us as N's and obviously look down on us, then get upset and start looking to blame Jersey Shore for our problems; because equality has not been established, and the plight of the balck man is far from over, and, apparently, some of us either haven't realized or failed to acknowledge the fact. And to the rest of you, if you're not black, get off the damn blog for black people. Go flame on a KKK site. As if white men don't rape people. Shit.
- TAKE IT BACK
annokafor66, it's the ones like you who are the scourge of the race. Black pride has fallen to the wayside to lie there, forgotten, forevermore. God help us all.
As much as i hate white people, i must admit that this is actually cringe-inducing propaganda which only helps to make us look worse, man.
FUCK YOU HATERS!!!! JERSEY SHORE IS THE SHIT ON TV ,IF YALL MUTHA FUCKAS DIDNT KNOW! STOP HATIN ON THESE PPL, AND APPRECIATE THEM BCUZ THEY ARE NOT RACISTS PPL! JERSEY SHORE IS A GUD SHW! WATCH DA DAMN SHOW IF U LYKE IT OR DONT! NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THIS STUPID ASS BLOG! NW SHUT DA FUCK UP!
I know... this is an old post, but god damn it, still with the bullshit of the moors in sicily? they stayed in a tiny part of west sicily for 150 years and they were literally wiped out by the normans of the north and they stayed 350 years there, plus the recent test on italian dna shows that they are basically the same caucasian as they were 2000 years ago, the only change is that 10 % of italian dna is mixed with the celtics and germans in the north and the greek and normans in the south, this are fact for christ's sake. Of course those retards on jersey shore looks non-whites, because they are non-whites! if a person is not white than that person can't be italian, period.
