Denny Mendez, former Miss Italia 1996, is black. So obviously an Italian citizen CAN be black. There was an uproar then with two of the panel judges being suspended for saying a black woman could not represent Italian beauty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denny_Mendezquote: “Denny Méndez . . . born in the Dominican Republic to a naturalized Italian mother and an Italian [step]father, was named Miss Italy after receiving nine million telephone votes from the television audience.” Nine million Italians voted to shatter the prism of race, just by watching a TV beauty pageant and phoning in their votes! Beauty is, indeed, in the eye of the beholder, and the eyes of the world today are quite capable of seeing past skin color. The Italian people’s choice was Denny Méndez, notwithstanding the objections of a pageant official who said, “A black girl can’t be Miss Italy. It’s not in the rules.”
Well, apparently Italy has done a 180 from 12 years ago. And they are certainly not as colorblind as they thought.

Well things have certain deteriorated since I started this thread at the beginning of July. I had also forgotten to mention that I had seen an black women attacked on a bus in Ostia during the month of August. Why was she attacked? because two Italian women (both in their 50's) decided that she was talking too loudly on her cell phone. I was sitting behind the women and she didnt seem to be talking that loudly (the Italian women were further back in the bus). When one of the Italian women stood up to leave the bus she told the woman that she shouldn't talk so loudly on the phone and that she should return to her own country. She then proceeded to attack her with slaps and punches around the head (the women never hit back and remained seated only putting up her arm to defend herself - she also had a baby in a pram next to her and her toddler son on the seat in front of her). I also tried to stop the woman from hitting her but she kept pushing my arm away, eventually after a few seconds the bus driver arrived and threw the two women off the bus. What was so shocking was the absolute ferocity and hate that was shown by this woman towards the victim and the fact that she had two small children next to her didnt even make a difference. This incident was not reported to the Police and Carabiniere and so it didnt get on the Telegiornale but who knows how many times these incidents are happening now? Also I found an interesting article from 2005 about detention centres..... of course I feel certain that Maroni will have improved conditions drastically now and La Russa has also been generous enough to use empty caserma buildings to create new concentration camps. http://www.emigrati.it/Immigrazione/Immigrazione.asp#Clandestini_Lampedusa

An Italian citizen originally from Somalia, mistreated by security at Ciampino quote: Mi hanno tenuta nuda quattro ore in una stanza dell’aeroporto di Ciampino. Prima mi hanno accusato di essere una ladra di bambini, poi di traffico di clandestini e per ultimo di essere un corriere della droga". Ma Amina Sheikh Said, donna somala di 51 anni, sposata con un italiano e cittadina italiana, era solo una nonna che riportava in Italia i suoi quattro nipotini da Londra.
Tornava a Roma dopo aver fatto visita ai quattro figli che abitano a Londra, la donna somala che ha denunciato di essere stata vittima di ingiurie razziste. Era il 21 luglio. Insieme a lei aveva per mano quattro dei suoi nipotini, tre di un figlio e uno di un altro, bambini tra i sette e gli 11 anni.
L’hanno chiamata negra; l’hanno "umiliata, maltrattata e oltraggiata" come spiegano i rappresentanti dell’associazione Antigone che sostengono legalmente la battaglia di Amina. "Arrivata all’aeroporto di Ciampino - racconta l’associazione - la Polizia di Frontiera esamina i documenti dei bimbi e decide che qualcosa non va. I minori hanno cognomi diversi tra loro".
"Il marito che aspettava la famiglia in aeroporto, viene fatto entrare nell’area doganale", spiega l’associazione. "Lo accusano con spregio di essere correo nel reato di favoreggiamento dell’immigrazione clandestina". Ispezionano i bagagli. "Amina è condotta in una stanza e fatta spogliare per un’ispezione corporale. Le resta addosso il solo reggiseno. Due donne - racconta ancora Antigone - le dicono che si sarebbe dovuta sottoporre all’esplorazione anale e vaginale. Amina rifiuta. Chiede almeno che sia un medico a farlo".
Le due donne incaricate dell’ispezione la ingiuriano: "Ti spedisco in carcere"; "Come sei nera fuori lo sei dentro"; "Daremo i bambini all’assistente sociale". La sospettano di essere un corriere della droga. Per oltre quattro ore, Amina rimane svestita di fronte a un numero imprecisato di persone che entrano ed escono dalla stanza, poi viene ammanettata e distesa su una barella, coperta da un telo di cellophane da imballo. Viene portata in ambulanza al Policlinico Casilino. Dalla perquisizione non emerge niente.
"Nessuno le rilascia alcun verbale - dicono le associazioni - delle perquisizioni effettuate non rimane traccia. Le annunciano che contro di lei è stato aperto un procedimento penale per resistenza a pubblico ufficiale". http://www.meltingpot.org/articolo13417.html

Seems the assailants of the Chinese fellow in Rome had done it before: quote: A Chinese immigrant was beaten up by a group of teenagers in Rome Thursday, the latest in a series of apparently racist attacks.
An eye witness told police the 25-year-old, who does not speak Italian, was on his way home in a working-class Rome suburb when he was surrounded by the group of five or six who allegedly shouted racist slurs before breaking his nose and inflicting other injuries.
Police said the same group attacked two 30-year-old Ivory Coast immigrants last week after shouting racist insults. http://www.ansa.it/site/notizie/awnplus/english/news/2008-10-02_102254184.html

Italian soccer player comes out against racism in Italy: quote: The first black footballer to play for Italy on Friday joined the growing chorus of voices warning that the country could be facing an epidemic of racism.
''As an Italian I am ashamed,'' veteran Palermo midfielder Fabio Liverani told ANSA after the latest in a series of apparently racist attacks the previous day.
Liverani, 32, a half-Somali who made history by turning out for Italy in 2001, noted that he was from the same working-class Rome district, Tor Bella Monaca, where Thursday's assault on a Chinese man occurred.
The ex-Lazio and Fiorentina player said he had noticed a rise in intolerance.
''It's like we've travelled 60 years back in time. And the level of violence is rising. When I was a boy I suffered some episodes of racism but it was essentially verbal''.
''Just when we thought some progress was being made things are going backwards. I used to hang out in that area. It was a place that had managed to clean itself up, but now this''.
