Bananas thrown at Italy’s first black minister

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.
