It’s 2017 and the Hungarian government is legitimately taking about putting us in “camps”. I never want to hear another gadjekane fuck tell me that our people don’t suffer in Europe and all over the world.
“An initiative supported by the Far-RightNazi Hungarian Party continues to mount in favor of putting Roma (also known [under the ethnic slur] G*psies) into highly-controlled camps by force, and some, for life.“
A few key notes from the article:
The Hungarian Nazi Party – known as The Jobbik Party – has a strong resentment towards the Romani minority and wants to “relieve their communities of “anti-social” Roma behavior.”
Anti Romani sentiment exists even within the walls of the Hungarian parliament; since June 2016 the Nazi party has won it’s first three seats in the European Parliament and secured the third place in the general elections (with 17% of the votes.)
The vice chairman of the Nazi party who is also the European Parliament representative claims these camps are “public order protection camps” – stating that “At these camps, [Romani would be given a chance to “learn”] and return to civilized society. Those who abandon crime, make sure their children attend school and participate in public work programs, they can reintegrate. No doubt there will be people who show no improvement. They can spend the rest of their lives in these camps.“
The chairman of the Nazi party defends their idea of the camp by saying that “segregation is the best tool to teach [Roma] how to coexist”, calling the camps “public order protection camps” and claiming that he does not believe that there would be a problem with locking the Roma into camps because the Nazi party would “execute these plans in accordance with all laws”
These camps plan on taking Roma children away from their families and sending them to “boarding schools”
Other rules for these camps would include established “laws” such as, having to request the permission to leave the camp and a curfew.
As the European Roma Rights Centre has stated, The problems and issues Roma in Europe have to face have not improved since no [Eastern] European government has truly put in a strong enough initiative to support them and put an end to the anti-Romani discrimination.
Many of the problems the Nazi party is speaking of – the “anti-social” behavior, the low employment rate, the high petty crime rate and the low numbers of Roma children in schools – wouldn’t even be problems in the first place if Roma were simply being viewed as human and treated fairly.
Roma are not given the right to no discrimination in the fields of education, instead they get condemned to low quality education in “all Roma schools” or are being falsely diagnosed with mental disabilities and placed in facilities for mentally handicapped. – As a result they get trapped in the vicious cycle of poverty with slim chances (or no chances at all) to get a job.
Don’t even claim “Roma can do small jobs that don’t require any training then!!!” because that isn’t an option either, since anti-Roma attitudes are rooted so deeply nobody even wants to hire Romani to do “insignificant” jobs that do not require any qualifications. Many have to literally dig through trash and look for metal and copper rests to sell for a little money, however that does not cover the costs of feeding their family so many have to resort to petty crimes.
Do you see how all these problems are connected now? Do you see how none of these problems would even exist if Roma were granted basic human rights? Fuck Europe.
Boy gamers are so self-centered they act as though women haven’t been playing video games for decades, and then act horrified when the female gamers who have always been there actually become visible and vocal about the rampant misogyny that has infected the gaming world.
Like seriously, how entitled do you have to be that women saying “it sure would be nice if I wasn’t treated like shit while enjoying the games I play” translates to “I must be catered to” when video games have LITERALLY been catered to men for decades?
Kevin Moore filmed the police brutally arresting Freddie Gray. That footage went viral and began all of the protests that have been flooding the streets of Baltimore and sweeping the nation ever since. Now, after claiming the police had been harassing and intimidating him after he went public with the footage, Kevin Moore and two members of Cop Watch, have been arrested tonight.
Moore said on Saturday that he is the man who filmed the arrest, but he was concerned that his name and image had been released. No sooner than they were, the harassment began.
“What is so important that you have to plaster my picture over the Internet? I’ve already spoken,” Moore explained.
Shortly after Moore filmed his arrest, Gray, 25, was suffered a spinal cord injury in police custody on April 12th, and died a week later.
Moore explained that he had already spoken at length with two detectives in the Police Department’s Office of Internal Oversight and given them his video of the incident. But the police posted his photo and told the public that he was “wanted for questioning” and asked people to identify him.
But they already knew who he was. What were they trying to prove, or was this all about harassing him?
Tonight, the Baltimore Police answered that question for us. They arrested Kevin Moore who was with two members of Cop Watch.
Moore explained that Gray was a friend of his and he has to speak up.
What can you to do help Moore, Chad Jackson and Tony White who were arrested with him?
Call the Baltimore Police Department at (410) 545-8122 and demand that they release these innocent men now! Then help us SPREAD THE WORD!
