ITALY powerful AMA RACISM



Piero Sansonetti - Liberation from

We no longer know how to treat them, the news. Every day, every day: an African boy beaten, a Chinese, an Arab, possibly reduced in dying, maybe killed. Until the episode ends, like that of Castel Volturno, where six blacks were killed in gunfire, and the next day the newspapers instead of speaking of murder, racist nazi-Camorra, and instead of telling the lives, stories, families, hopes and sorrows of the six victims (as they would in any case if the boys killed were white) went to dig in their past, to try to show that they too were criminals, they talked about settling scores, have defamed the dead: that crap!
News yesterday, if we do not escape someone else, are two. The first is an aggression against Senegal in Milan, by two Italians with baseball bats, the second is the beating of a Chinese boy from a gang of five or six racists in Rome suburb of Tor Bella Monaca. We are getting used to these episodes, which only a few years ago were isolatissimi, condemned by all, aroused indignation. Racism in mass arises precisely this: the habit, common sense to consider ending the routine beatings of foreigners, discrimination, even the killing.
's think a moment about the latest episodes. The execution of Abba, Milan, and the massacre of Castelvolturno. How did you react to the "summit" of Italian society? In the first case scrambling to swear that he was not a racist murder. They did the judges, they did the newspapers, they have done dozens of political leaders. In the latter case by reducing the incident to the minimum, placing him in a debate where he was impeached as the excess of illegal immigration than the brutality of the crime. It would be like after September 11 someone had said, you certainly have hurt the terrorists, but also those skyscrapers are so high just annoying ... In this way the
press and most of the political world are taking responsibility for the growth of racism. That we must react. Let's start from tomorrow, going to many events in Rome, Parma and Caserta.
