For us Serbians, Roma People is kind of "pityful",
but also (truly) dirty.
Once I was in Belgrade, waiting for my bus.
A Gypsie male child came right in front of me,
almost out of nowhere.
He was half-naked,
bare-feet on a dirty asphalt soil
(feet as black as ashes).
He began to beg for some money.
G-d apologize me: he looked like a rat.
Excuse me, little boy.
I do not say this out of any kind of hate,
especially toward a people of (apparently) so poor origins.
But I felt,
deep in my soul,
that this boy would propagate a pleague
that could kill my own Serbian People, in the Serbian very Land.
AND WE SERBS SUFFERED SO MUCH FROM VARIOUS WARS DONE TO US.
ENOUGH PAIN/SUFFERING, ENOUGH !!!
It is the same as when you have a child, your very child.
You wouldn't like anything bad to happen to him.
That's how I feel for Serbia.
That's how you feel, Brothers, for israel.
I guess when you're accustomed to have a gypsie neighborhood,
you do not pay attention any more to them.
I guess also that when your people
(in my case, the Serbian One)
suffers every single day to earn his bread and his living,
he doesn't see anybody else, was it a gypsie, or not.
Yet, I shall add that the Gypsie Community in Serbia
becomes always more untolerant............to the serbs.
You have many "incidents" involving Gypsies such as the ones
consisting in attacking Serbian (White) cab drivers, for instance.
And when the Serbian cab driver punches (with his fist)
the head of a gypsie, guess what ?
The Serb has to pay for "reparation".
This is a true story.
Another one:
Serbia has "integrated" enormous flows of emigrating
Serbian Brothers and sisters from neighboring NAZICROATIA,
for instance, that fled out of their homes, in order to escape slaughtering.
Up to TODAY, many of these Serbs do live in camp-like buildings,
overcrowded, and it lets us think that serbian government does NOTHING
to house them correctly.
The Serbs Exilees have the great choice of.......shuting their mouths up.
The Gypsies ?
The story is not AT ALL the same:
the self-hating serbian Government
does WHATEVER it can to HOUSE
this (once, and no willing of offending) nomadic People,
in order to calm them down.
They are the ones you can see/hear protest
throughout the mass-media.
Tivole69,
I think you have once again the german problem of the "sudetes".
They will tear your country apart.
Take care, Slavic brother.
