Racist hurls bananas at first black Italian minister...
http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/28/world/europe/italy-politics-racism/index.html?hpt=hp_t2(CNN) -- The racist taunts against Italy's first black minister, Cecile Kyenge, took another ugly turn over the weekend when someone hurled bananas at her during a rally.
Kyenge is Italy's minister of integration. And her appointment three months ago has not sat well with right-wing radicals whose racial slurs and antics have overshadowed her tenure.
The banana incident is just the latest.
It took place in the town of Cervia where Kyenge was speaking to supporters Friday.
Police have yet to find the person who hurled the bananas.

Lega Nord (Northern Leaugue) - they actually had secession on the North on their party platform at one point. Look up a guy named Maroni's statements on this woman. He's a real peach.
