- Go to Racist slurs, bananas, hurled at Italy's 1st black cabinet minister
Crude racial things certainly still go on today both ways. It is bad communication in my book too.

Any first must be prepare for attacks. To think that full acceptance is possible is unrealistic. If not actually physically attacked, ignore and keep moving. Once a person starts reacting, all is lost for your weakness is shown the moment you attempt to prove self or react in a way that shows the actions disturbed you.

BANANA REPUBLIC
Would it be fair to say italy has become a Banana Repubic or has 'gone bananas?' Where did they get the Bananas they pelted the Minister with? Don't they have enough eggs or tomatoes? The Minister must show she is made of sterner stuff and comes from Africa where she would be pelted with human waste like it happenned to DA members in Cape Town recently. And where is that country again where there is an annual feast during which tomatoes are put in large tubs and people dance in the juices and smear each other with it? Such barbaric behaviour is unbelievable.
