Wow, Italy: Bananas thrown at Italy's first black minister

[MrX]

Holy shit. Some amazing quotes in this article.

"I love animals -- bears and wolves, as everyone knows -- but when I see the pictures of Kyenge, I cannot but think of, even if I'm not saying she is one, the features of an orangutan," - Senator Roberto Calderoli.

Senator!

"she seems like a great housekeeper" but "not a government minister." - Mario Borghezio, a member of the European Parliament

Hey bro.

Love you.

Miss you.

The guy that threw the bananas came up a couple of rows short. You'd think if you were going to do that you at least get the bananas to the podium.

#RacistBananaHurlingFail :

I like how she handled it: "a waste of food".

 

[Matty]

They do look a bit like monkeys don't they. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything but they do.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I'd be more concerned about this...

Police haven't found the person who hurled the bananas. There will be increased security around the minister, Torlo said.

if I were Italy's first monkey minister.

Guy would have been swarmed within seconds in pretty much every other country.

 

[Saulty]

This guy couldn't be more wrong. Orangutans are native of Indonesia and Malaysia and have orange brownish color. At least if you are going to assault someone for there continent of origin use an animal that lives in that continent.

Don't be so sure. In Russia the police beat up homosexuals when they try to have a parade and the crowd actually applauds.

If someone threw any object at Medvedev, they'd have boots up their ass and wouldn't make it three feet.

Pretty much tells you the sentiment of the police also! Never knew Italians were so racist until the abuse they gave to black soccer players!

 

[Cougar Bait]

Look, man, I ain't fallin for no banana in my tailpipe.

If boats of illegals immigrants from Africa land on Jersey shores on a daily basis seeking asylum and taking Jersey taxpayers money to feed them and give them jobs the citizens of Jersey would get racist too.

Yeah, it's called California. Except they are too high to notice.

Agree Saulty but this was just one person, not a boat load! And she has a job also it appears! Don't matter what color or race you are, just don't live off my tax dollars if you're able to work!

You have to look at the root of the problem. The locals are angry because of high unemployment and they vend off at the moochers. They see her as someone who will work hard to give more freebies to the moochers.

Like Cougar said..it's happpening in California but the politicians are blindsided.

Looking into her profile more closely, you could be right! We know the road beyond when below happens .........

She supports the introduction of a Jus soli law to grant citizenship to children of immigrants born on Italian soil.

Did you know that being born in Italy does not give you Italian citizenship?

You must have at least one Italian citizen parent to be a citizen.
