Forever wondering how many of the people saying “we should punch Nazis” actually talk about modern antisemitism or antiromanyism, ever. Cause it sort of feels like you only care about Jews and Roma when we’re dead

Romani people are being beaten up and killed in Eastern Europe right fucking NOW, but the only ones being outraged about this and talk about it, are Romani and Jews. Deafening silence from the rest of those anti Nazis out there. Makes me spit feathers…and exhausted 😡

Ok so I didn’t know about this issue until literally right now, so here’s some articles from the ERRC.

TW for: Anti-Romani racism, Fascism, Holocaust praise/parallels, Genocide, police brutality, murder and other forms of violence.

So there’s this one

And this specifically Italian one about Salvini

Oh and this one about the murder of a Greek Romani child

And Fascist massacres of Romani people in Ukraine.

These are all within the last month.

Mainstream international media is generally apathetic towards these issues, but please make an effort to keep yourself informed. People are dying.

Reblogging again with the info because I totally didn’t know until I saw this post too!

Aren’t Romani children being segregated in schools?? Segregation is still alive today and no one is saying anything about it

Romani here!

There’s a LOT of dispicable things happening against the Roma now. Many Roma camps recently attacked in the Ukraine. Many of the murderers are getting off SCOTT FREE despite having killed Roma in Ukraine.

A list of other issues still going on, a lot of this is going on in Eastern Europe:

• Forced Sterilization
• Eviction
• Harassment (by law enforcement as well as civilians)
• Fingerprinting (this is happening in Italy right now – all Romani people are being fingerprinted, simply because our race is considered ‘criminal’)
• Concentration camps
• Starvation
• Exclusion from public schools and welfare programs
• School harassement from administration and teachers
• Bombings (it is not uncommon in places like the Czech Republic for people to throw molotov cocktails into the windows of Romani homes)
• In many areas it’s very much still illegal to employ Romani, which means they’re forced to be scam artists and thieves because how else are they going to put food on the table?

It’s also estimated that up to 50% of Romani living population in Europe were killed during the Holocaust, but ya know, hardly any memorials ever mention them and the big one in the USA I don’t think has any mention of them

Honestly it’s a HUGE problem @ the Holocaust thing. Elie Wiesel himself said that the Roma deserved what they got – which he retracted later in life, but you get the picture.

Do you have any specific suggestions for causes to support financially or otherwise? @naturewitchpagan

a Czech romani here and yes it’s terrible, I got bullied in school because of it, we usually have to live at special part of towns because we’re seen as criminals it’s not so long ago when a house with a two year old was bombed and the girl was severely injured.

Not even gonna talk about the work camp for Romani people during WWII which is just becoming a memorial and was a pig farm till now.

Also separation of children at school is still a very real thing even though it’s masked as something good (Romani children are usually being sent to a special school/special class as undeveloped even though we are usually just as smart as our peers, which only results in the child not being able to find a job and having to be supported by the state, which results in hate crime towards us because people think we are stealing their money

And last thing I have to talk about is last year (or two years ago? I honestly have no idea) when a rock band whose music is all about antiromanyism (Ortel) won the Czech prize for band of the year and a Romani singer (Radek Banga) was harassed for leaving the ceremony. These are only some of the issues and it’s a lot so yeah, don’t just talk about how you’d punch a nazi

resharing this for the addition
