Honestly, I don't know. we have different body anatomy, organs and almost everything else - apart from appearance and belonging to the same branch of homininae.

Maybe, we as black people need to start focusing on what makes us unique and stop attaching ourselves to everyone...and trying to be what we're not.

Tumisang: Italians better not let this woman turn their country into a ghetto!

Pennywise:

That they have a black African minister doesnt surprise me. Italy has for years been a warm, liberal and open country welcoming of all races. It is looking more like a small America in Europe. Little wonder our own Wole Soyinka singled it out as a country most preferred by him outside Nigeria to live in.

The UK for its pretensions at liberalism doesnt even come close. It is still very much a racist society right from their royal family down the ladder. The most aspiring black candidate for a similar honor in the UK still have to wait another 25yrs at the very least.

Lexoria:
the people who are saying italy is a racist country have prolly never been there so they know nothing about the country.When you have been to worse countries like czech,poland,spain(even) etc,u'll know that racism in italy is very very minimal.Italians who could give out their car to these shoroty african immigrants in the good-old-days.Africans are spoiling things for themselves also.Even in adrica,a white minister would experience some racism.

Nightshift: Bananas in Italian stores are from South America. The ones from Africa are pineapples, from Ghana and Ivory Coast.
Europeans can go to war for Tea, Coffee and Banana. The banana thrower could even be a Nazi.

Christmasdon: .i think as a black people /afrikans we have lost everything.don't u fink so? Ooh! I should have been a white man. And Not black . Am regretting to be a black man. *pains me*
as a black people there're certain things we are really missing. I mean we are being left out in some many things. We are being degraded by the whites. If you're white, you will be enjoying certain equal rights.
Why am i an aFRIkcan. Mtchew!

Cut your b#llshit!There are more whites and mixed-races ministers in 2 Africa countries(south Africa,angola) than black ministers in all European countries put together!Who is insulting and harassing them?Whites will never accept that blacks control 80% of the economy of any of their countries as they do in south Africa.I have been to the south of Italy more than once and Italians are extremely racists.I have no problems with that coz they are defending their interests.It is up to Africans to do the same!The problem with we Africans is that we accommodate other races more than ourselves!Whites,indians,lebaneses,etc.....are let free to do whatever they want in Africa ,and until we change that,blacks will never be respected.Whites,asians,chinese,etc.. are ashamed to mix with blacks,but blacks are so prouds to have mixed-races kids!How can other races respect us when they know that we are needy and desperate?

Lexoria:


well,I don't know what ur experience is but if u've been to any of these countries I mentioned then u'd not be talking of this country like this.I know there's racism but not like in most european countries;atleast the ones I've been to.then,about the angolan white public office holders,go ask them and they'll hve stories to tell u.I agree about blacks being too linient with whites,actually,the ass-licking pisses me off big tym.But with blacks wanting mixed race kids,i think its same with whites too especially the women.so they find willing ready patners in black men.And black men like to put down black women a lot in favor of white women,so tell me who should we blameIsn't it the specie of ur kind??

Horus:

Why fight for Integration and Italian citizenship in a racist country?, let us develop Africa and there will be no need to beg the racists.
I also suggest that we should raise the price of bananas for Italians

dasparrow:

I only wish Africans will not forget but I am afraid they will. So many of our people will treat white people with undeserved love and hospitality while treating their fellow blacks like crap. Black people will never learn. One will think that with all the racism we face from other racial groups, the black race will wax stronger and we will support one another. But no! We prefer to put each other down. I give up. Let us keep learning things the hard way.
