Scores of tourists watched an African refugee drown in Venice’s Grand Canal as onlookers filmed him on their phones, laughed and made racist remarks.

“Go on, go back home,” shouted one person as the 22-year-old Gambian, named as Pateh Sabally, bobbed up and down in the icy waters of the city’s main waterway.

In one video shot on a mobile phone and released on Italian websites, an unseen man yells “Africa” at the refugee and implores passengers on a passing water bus to throw life belts as Mr Sabally raises his arms in the air before sinking.

Three lifebelts were thrown to him, but after rising to the surface, the man made no effort to reach them, prompting suggestions that he was committing suicide.

racists! RIP to the dead

hmm

Where is this world going to

who racist comment epp
one day we will all abandon Africa for our useless leaders to lead themselves to hell.

I don't have anything to say. Racism didn't start today, suicide didn't start today, we've said it all, seen it all. RIP

The world will treat us as we treat ourselves!
If our leaders are not specialists in failure,we would have no business seeking for greener pastures in the western world.
Our leaders treat us like trash,how do we expect others to show us respect?
May God help mother Africa and her children!
R.I.P Brother!

Racism...

This is truely sad.
You don't judge anybody based on their skin colour.
I don't know whether to call it ignorance or illiteracy or something else.
Can somebody please tell me something (good, bad or evil) a black man has done thatba white hasn't.
The world is a f**ked up reality.

When they move from Europe to Africa =Voyages of discovery.
When we move from Africa to Europe =Illegal immigrants.
A group of Africans in Europe =Refugees.
A group of Europeans in Africa = Tourists .
A group of Afriicans in the bush = Poachers .
A Group of Europeans in bush = Hunters !
Black people working in a foreign country =Foreigners.
White people working in a foreign country=Expatriates!!

This world has failed Africa!

That's what a sheep gets when mingled with wolf

Bad

Am black and proud

Technology and the internet is spreading hate more than anything. the world has gone backward more than ever before.
Today a Presidential Contestant can use hate in rising to power. Today Nairaland has become so infested with bigoted and hate filled Idiots, that no single post comes up without it being flooded with hate comments.
on Facebook, bullies are Rampants, You make a single mistake and folks that have been hating on You bite on it forever.

The Church of God which was to preach Love, unconditional love, is now the main purveyor of hate..Kill them Oyedepo said, Kill them Suleman said.
I still remember Jesus Saying, that the greatest of all thing is love.

Italy and racism
