Geneva Police in Romania

Published by:

Geneva Police in Romania

The Geneva police went to investigate a case of human trafficking – a man accused to have sold his invalid son to go and beg in Geneva. As usual, stereotypes prevail. No one has so far proven that there are criminal clans engaged in begging. There are families who live from that, but this is about it. And it is not a business – not for 20 CHF per day.

Argument against Compassion: A Must Read for Counterarguments

Published by:

Argument against Compassion: A Must Read for Counterarguments

Read this… Badly thought arguments, and the way against them on the refugee crisis. The paragraph on Rroma is particularly scary: The argument goes as follows: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria have not managed to integrated their Rroma, so they cannot take on any refugees.

The right way to say it: Nationalistic policies have tried to ethnicise and segregate minorities, and these have failed. Has nothing to do with refugees, and all to do with tolerance.

Dangerous.

How daft…

Published by:

How daft…

Some populists miss no occasion to be populist, prejudiced, racist, and spread idiotic information. This is the case here with Breitbart, a conservative US based news Network. Based on a fight between two Romanian Rroma families in Essen Germany, and the fact that a German newspaper also cited “Arabs” and criminals in the report, Breitbart makes a headline of criminal Gypsy and Arab gangs.

One should say STOP RACISM and START THINKING! This is not journalism, this is actual idiocy. It has to stop.

Street Fight in Essen

Published by:

Street Fight in Essen

A street fight in Essen between two Rroma groups – probably from Romania, degenerated into a real street battle involving up to over 1’000 people according to police source. Thses fights continued later on.

This has given opportunity to several papers to equate all Rroma with criminal and to “throw in” an ounce of “criminal Arabs” into the fray to give a view that all migrants are surely criminals and that one needs to get rid to them.

Let’s call this by it’s name: This is POPULISM and RACISM.
