Jump To Comment: 1Or equally considering the geographical thing you could unionise the anti-racism industry . Last month when Wilson made these remarks they sparked a blog from the BBC Davenport whoquoted Patrick Yu of NICEM as saying "75% of the groups in this sector get no government funding". http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/markdevenport/2....html
I admit when I first read about this news yesterday here (thanks Davy) I wondered at the " - industry" thing. It almost made me think of the "H word industry". Like most really well reported offensive comments it comes just a tad short on precise and specific meaning which I suppose is why it offends a broad range of us. It's quite a proper wee verbal dumdum shell.
If there is such a thing as the anti-racism industry then it's fair to presume there's a certain level of competition and even that there is a racism industry as well for those who don't like -isms that come with an antonymic prefix but not proper root.
Alessandra Mussolini who as we know is the grand-daughter of il duce and currently is serving in the Berlusconi government has this week blocked the distribution of "Francesca"a movie made by one of Romania's wealthiest men, the cinema director Bobby Paunescu.
Amongst Alessandra Mussolini's verbal dumdum shells in the past was the line almost to awful to type out and quote "breaking the law is a lifestyle for Romanians". Of course I don't know if she said "Romanian" with a capital "R" or a little "r" you'd have to write a letter to her parliament office and request an interview with whoever sets her teleprompter. In contrast to that she also declared that most Romanians have rape in their DNA . Now that's a very different kind of insult because when you think about logically - we all have rape our genes .
The Italian racism industry led by Mussolini argues that some of the script of the movie in which its protagonists, some young Romanian girl contemplates making her way in Italian society to setting up a nursery, is not only deeply offensive but actionable. One of the characters says '[ Mussolini's grand-daughter] is a whore who wants to kill Romanians'
well that's not a wee verbal dumdum shell, but the language is pretty strong. Most Italian women are very offended when people call them whores. Yet the particular scene in the movie is reported as having drawn applause from the audience who did see its premier at the Venice Flim Festival. For their part the film industry distributors have said ‘The entire work will be defended as well as the author’s freedom of expression.......We intend to release the film in its entirety at the end of October’......If the judge obliges us to modify something I think we will find a solution with the director.’ Meanwhile the movie is nominated for the Orizzonti award, second to the festival’s main prize.
Now I would go out on a limb and say in this tale from Italy we see industries at work, like proper big time money making ones. Whatever, the movie may end up with a subtitled version..,
Alessandra Mussolini the grand-daughter of the man with the same name.
