Two African candidates standing in the upcoming local elections have been racially abused while canvassing in separate parts of Dublin. A death threat issued to one of the candidates is now under investigation by gardaí.
Zimbabwean Green Party candidate Tendai Madondo and South African independent candidate Patrick Maphoso have both experienced racism on the hustings but say this has made them more determined to win a council seat and help change attitudes.

Can anyone NOT be surprised to the reaction from homegrown Irish who see foreign invaders standing on their doorstep wanting to politically over rule the indigenous tribe?
Well, neither were North American Indians in favour of foreign European tribes invading their territory and look where those indigenous people stand today.
What is happening in Ireland and other western White countries is tribal warfare and the only force standing between today's 3rd world invaders and their intended conquests is extreme political-correctness and double standard "hate laws".
Since Obama's election as U.S. president, this has probably emboldened many a Black candidate in this traditionally White country of having aspirations of being Ireland's first Black leader.
Incidentally, if I were experiencing "racism" as a White man in a non-white country (and I have), I would simply pack up and leave!
It's time for Irish Catholics and Protestants to mend their differences and bond together to save their country, otherwise they'll become minority "Indians" in two generations.
At least these "foreign invaders" are trying to change things for the better, not just for their own people in Ireland but also for the Irish by standing for political office.
Why don't the native Irish do something about it if they're so concerned about their country?
Instead of just trying to bring down others.
*crabs in a bucket mentality*
How many Irish (white) do you see out there with the perseverance and courage to do something like that?
Anonymous who are these foriegn invaders trying to better things for ? it certainly is not for the irish, and for a start all Irish are white , just because a black person manages to have a child here it doesnt make the child Irish, we took that away from these spongers.
every time i walk down a road in Ireland i see at least 4 or 5 hairdressers selling fake wigs that have been set up using Irish tax payers money, are you saying that this is integrating ? or helping society ?
on the South circular road in Dublin in amongst 8 shops there are at least 3 African hairdressers and 2 african food shops, i never see anyone go in them. They are known as fronts to drugs, Moore street Dublin no less than 4 african hairdressers, Parnell street 2 minutes walk from Moore street another 3/4 african hairdressers, fact is Africans polled poorley because the Irish people do not want to answer to foreign people.
If those immigrants are so great at changing places then why have they run from their own country ?
