Italy grapples with racial slurs against minister
Slurs Against Italy's First Black National Official Spur Debate on Racism
By ELISABETTA POVOLEDO
Cécile Kyenge, Italy's first black national official, has been
bombarded with racial slurs and death threats during her first eight
weeks in office
His explorations of “faggotry” in the literary world were
wide-ranging. They led him to an unsatisfactory night with Jack Kerouac
in the Chelsea Hotel, to delicate examinations of pornography with André
Gide, to courtship with Christopher Isherwood. Yet he loathed the word
“gay”, felt that human beings were essentially bisexual (a theme pursued
in his wildly Bacchic send-up of pornography, “Myra Breckinridge”) and
found that this world, too, was one in which he loitered on the edge.
Greeks Mass to Protest Hardships
Protesters
shouted slogans outside the Greek parliament in central Athens during a
24-hour nationwide general strike Thursday. It marked the second
general strike in a month as workers protested Greek government plans
for more cutbacks and tax increases to satisfy terms set by its
international creditors for more bailout funds. Clashes broke out as
youths threw gasoline bombs and rocks at police, who responded by firing
tear gas and stun grenades. Police said two officers were injured in
the clashes and that some 50 demonstrators were detained. A 65-year-old
man died during the demonstration from heart failure before the clashes.
