via Italian basketball players to protest against racism by painting faces black\u00a0 guardian.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Italian basketball players and fans have been urged to paint their faces black during the next round of fixtures to show support to a player who was racially abused.<\/p>\n

The idea was prompted by the case of Abiola Wabara, 30, who was abused and spat at while playing for Bracco Geas SS Giovanni in the A1 women’s league quarter-final win over Comense.<\/p>\n

At the time officials took no action, but a subsequent investigation by the federation, Federbasket, resulted in the call for a day of protest across all Italy’s basketball leagues.<\/p>\n

Among the campaign’s slogans, which all begin “I would like black skin”, are: “I would like black skin so I can be like her and shout to the world our desire for freedom;” and: “I would like black skin, or red, green, yellow. I would like to have the skin of all colours of the soul.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
