It's probably similar to the soul-searching India had done over reports in recent years of massively publicized cases of violence against women. Some in India were calling it the final death throes of a dying cast that was losing its social power as society evolved past them.

I read these tweets in the same light.

I was never a big Clinton supporter.

But with Trump you have people like Andy, who never really used to be racist, suddenly condoning the shit Trump has said and done. When the silent majority doesn't care that the president elect is endorsed by the KKK, you run a real risk of events spiralling out of control.

I am almost certain Trump himself doesn't want these things to happen. After all his wife isn't American either. But he won't be able to control his followers.

Was Berlusconi openly racist? or was he pandering to the racist crowd? If no, it's not going to be the same
BTW riots, like any other politically motivated violence are ridiculous.

well yes but not pandering the crowds.
You know how he called Obama when he was elected? joking he said: (once he got elected) well he is young, handsome and a bit tanned
Anyway prolly not as racist cause when he was in charge beside italians there weren't a minority big enough to consider racism.

I read somewhere that those "riots" are funded

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has provoked criticism for describing Barack Obama as "young, handsome, and tanned".

He made the remarks after a meeting with the Russian president in Moscow.

Opposition politicians in Italy said Mr Berlusconi's remarks about the US president-elect were at worst, racist and at best, undiplomatic.

Mr Berlusconi shrugged off the criticism, saying those who disagreed with him were humourless "imbeciles".

'Great compliment'

Mr Berlusconi made the quip at a news conference with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

''Obama is young, handsome and also tanned, so he has all the qualities to agree with you,'' he told the Russian leader, speaking in Italian through a translator.

The Italian news agency Ansa said Mr Berlusconi later defended the remark, calling it "a great compliment".

Responding to a reporter's suggestion that the remark might be misunderstood, he accused his opponents of not having a sense of humour.

''God save us from imbeciles,'' he added.

Gaffe prone

The Italian leader has a history of public gaffes.

On his first meeting with Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen in 2002, Berlusconi complimented him with the words: "Mr Rasmussen is not only a great colleague, he's also the best-looking prime minister in Europe."

He added: "He's so good looking, I'm even thinking of introducing him to my wife."

He sparked a minor diplomatic incident in 2005 by suggesting he had wooed Finnish President Tarja Halonen to ensure her backing for Italy to host the European Food Safety Authority.

"I had to use all my playboy tactics, even if they have not been used for some time," he said, prompting Helsinki to call in the Italian ambassador to explain the comments.

If that's the worst thing he ever said then it's not really the same.
