African Migrants Are Rioting Because Of Racism In Southern Italy!

Racism is not just an American issue.It is an international one as well.Witness the race riots that have broken out in Southern Italy.After an assault on African farm workers by an Italian gang of youths,migrants have accused Italians of harboring racist feelings towards them. Human rights groups say that these migrant workers,who work as day laborers,are also being exploited by organised crime groups.

It would appear that you are judged by the color of your skin & not your mettle all over the globe! What a pity that is!

Here's more from AlJazeera.Net:

"Riots involving hundreds of immigrants have broken out in southern Italy, in protest against an attack on African farm workers by a gang of local youths, police said.

Dozens of immigrants, mostly from African nations, smashed car windows and set cars and rubbish bins of fire in the town of Rosarno in the Calabria region on Thursday night.

The rioters, shouting "we are not animals" and holding signs accusing Italians of racism, clashed with riot police, leading to seven arrests.

The Italian interior ministry said 14 people, including officers, protesters and residents, were injured in the riots.

The violence started after two immigrants were wounded when a number of white youths fired air rifles at them as they returned home from work.

'Strongly provoked'

Immigrants work in the area as day labourers picking fruit and vegetables, with some 1,500 living in squalid conditions in abandoned factories with no running water or electricity

Human rights activists say they are exploited by organised crime groups.

Agazio Loiero, governor of the Calabria region, told Sky TV that the violence was "unacceptable" but the migrants have been "strongly provoked".

Calabria is also the base of the international crime syndicate called 'ndrangheta.

The combination of ethnic strife and organised crime activity has sparked violence before among immigrant communities in southern Italy."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.

Rap Producer Shawty Redd Is In Jail For Murder!!!! Damn,Shawty!!!

Shawty Redd has produced a couple of songs with Drumma Boy that are my jams! If he really did commit murder,then he won't be putting out any more hits.Unless he does like Shyne did when he did his prison stint & produce songs from behind bars.

Wow,I'm really stunned right now. Can't people just resolve issues with either words or fists?Nothing should cause you to become so enraged that you kill someone.It's a doggone shame that we lost another life. Shawty Redd could have took that fury that he felt and put it to music.

Here's more from Hip Hop RX:

A Colorado State Worker Forwards An Email Of Obama Shining Sarah Palin's Shoes!!

Have you heard about the 73-yr. old Colorado state worker who forwarded a racist email that showed President Obama shining Sarah Palin's shoes? This is the 21st century folks! But,a 73-yr. old is probably pretty set in their ways.Even so,the Colorado Department of Transportation worker who sent this email to her co-workers needs to make a New Year's resolution to catch up with the times. In 2010,let the racism come to an end!

I know that's just wishful thinking,though.Some people really need to denigrate others in order to elevate themselves.And obviously this old fool is no exception to that fact!!!

Here's more on this from The Huffington Post:

"A Colorado state employee could be disciplined for sending an e-mail showing President Barack Obama shining the shoes of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

The 73-year-old Colorado Department of Transportation worker forwarded the e-mail to at least four co-workers and others on Dec. 22 using her state e-mail account. One of the recipients outside the agency complained.

The original sender of the e-mail, who isn't a state employee, wrote "It appears he (Obama
has found his niche."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.
