Matching Carpet Colour To Curtains

Abdul had stolen some cookies.

Abdul was a boy of 19 years. They killed Sunday morning in Milan as it is not with the worst animal to hit a steel bar. The reason? He had stolen a box of Ringo in a little pub. Yeah, but when you consider that Abdul was a black boy (his parents are originally from Burkina Faso) and that some witnesses report having heard screaming during the scuffle phrases like "I'll kill you, nigger" , perhaps this barbarous murder takes different connotations. Why do not you kill for such pilferage.

And then return to the theme of security and immigration, with distrust, fear and hatred, resulting in much of the criminal attitude maintained by some political parties, with the help of the media. During these years, their campaigns of hate against immigrants - and more generally to various - have instilled in the minds of many Italians that feeling of insecurity, which often results in racism. "The police investigating the murder they did not know that murder is a racist" , tell us some news. The same news that, with roles reversed (with the black and poor Abdul who kills the bartender in Milan for stealing biscuits), I would talk for days by invoking a state of emergency, they would have clamored for interim measures by the government, would show the Aryans exasperated citizens organized anti-immigrant patrols and stuff general.

Obviously nothing for our legal system can be considered a crime, but the irresponsible attitude has helped create a climate of hatred and intolerance of 'different'. A slow but inexorable process that has brought this country to drift racist who should leave no one indifferent.
