Cécile Kyenge is one of the
few politicians I can say I kind of admire, after showing she doesn’t let a few
banana-throwing, racist shitheads get to her. Since becoming Italy’s first
black minister she has been repeatedly targeted with racist abuse.
Kyenge is a naturalised
citizen born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and was making a speech on
Friday when bananas were thrown at her, narrowly missing the stage. Instead of
losing her head and giving up, as I think most of us would do, she simply told
the culprit off for wasting food.
