Italian Fans In Blackface
This is not the best way to support Mario Balotelli.
1. These Italian fans came out to support embattled striker Mario Balotelli. The thought’s nice, but the method is… not the best.

nehemiahhb 9 months agoIgnorance is no excuse fro these less than congratulatory actions…It is still a throw back to the Al Jolson style racism..It continues to reer it’s ugly head over and over in Italian tv show and advertising.. It is not acceptable. It is a multi- racial society, and world…It was an over-reaction that they had the courage to put this in print and send it all over the world..showing sheer narrow minded ignorance

sbash 11 months agoOkay, I agree that maybe wearing a blackface isn’t the best thing to do to support a soccer player, but I don’t think these fans meant any harm. I highly doubt they are racist and I’m sure they don’t even realize what blackface symbolizes. Either way, I think it’s a bit of an over-reaction to post this picture or have people bash them for their ignorance but at the same time, they should know better.
