There is nothing great about being white, or about being an American. I worked as child slave labor after my father died, if I wanted to eat then I had to work, there was no food in the house and if I wanted food then I had to work. My father died when I was 9 years old, and my Mother was left as a widow with 3 children to raise. At 10 years old I worked washing dogs for my Grandmother who was a dog groomer, I worked 12 hours per day, from 8 am to 8 pm, so that I could eat. And my labor helped to pay the rent for a house and helped to feed a house full of people, the really bad part was that I worked to feed teen-age drug addicts who did drugs from the money earned by my labor, and ate food that I helped to provide, and they would not even clean the house. My Uncles were drug addicts who did time in prison, and I was child slave labor working to feed them. Right here in California. And I had customers who were movie stars who I washed their dogs, they saw me working as a little kid, I washed their dogs. I washed Victoria Principal's dog, she was on the show "Dallas" and she was very beautiful. And I went on to manage a dog kennel where I had worked as a kid. I became a kennel manager, and we had a lot of movie stars for customers. I helped to train Magic Johnson's dogs, etc, we trained Cher's dogs, we trained dogs for a lot of stars. I took care of Pam Dawber's cat, she played Mindy on "Mork and Mindy." We had a lot of famous customers. But there was like a wall between them and me, they were rich, and I was the poor guy taking care of the animals. Being white, and being an American did not help me, I worked as child slave labor right in front of everyone, they all watched it happen.
But, I do not want to be a victim, and I do not want to blame anyone for anything. I just want to make my own way and make my own money and find a good woman who can be my team-mate and partner and lover. Be a boss, marry a boss, and build an empire. And I really love Italy.
Salute,
Tony V.
