Orangutan' slur highlights open racism in Italian politics

When Cecile Kyenge agreed to become a minister in Italy's latest government she was well aware that she would have to break new and difficult ground.

Not only was she taking on the controversial immigration brief, she was also about to become Italy's first black minister.

But perhaps even Ms Kyenge has been surprised by the ferocity of the backlash.

She has been repeatedly subjected to racist slurs of the crudest kind.

The latest came over the weekend from a vice-president of Italy's the Senate, Roberto Calderoli, a prominent member of the anti-immigration Northern League party.

Addressing its supporters he said; "I love animals… but when I see pictures of Kyenge I cannot but think of - even if I'm not saying she is one - the features of an orangutan."

He went on to say that Ms Kyenge was attracting illegal immigrants to Italy, and that she should be a minister in her "own country".

Italians are white Africans..

Italy broke off the African continent , sailed and ended in the mediterranean sea 1

Sylvester Stallone is really a pigmented African physique 

bwoy!  some ah dem wud shoot yuh fuh dat 8)

They can protest all dem want :

The Ice Age caused a lotta Land mass to drift !

Italy is one that drifted off Africa. 

Look at the characteristics of the Pigmented african called Italian :

Gangster mentality ( The Mob ) , physical characteristic ( boxing , soccer et cetera )

Music vocal ( singing and Opera ) et cetera , et cetera...

the mob is a bad rap the jews pin on the italians :

the mob is jewish not italian..save where italian and jew coincide

Not to be confused with Sicilians ( the Mob )

Sicily is an Island at the boot toe of Italy in the Mediterranean sea ..

ITALY ( the boots shape ) kicks SICILY into the Mediterranean sea ( high school geography )
