Around 700 people have organised \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthemselves over Facebook and deliberately incite hatred against immigrant \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma. This happens both in the social network, as well as adds on public \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsidewalks, walls, and junction boxes, on which xenophobic slogans were \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tattached. In the meantime, the authorities removed them. The prosecution has \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttaken up investigations on suspicion of demagoguery: <em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">\u201cBut the anger of local residents become more intense and has gone public. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOn the weekend, doorways were smeared, among others with the slogan \u201cRoma out\u201d, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twith the S replaced by the runes of the squadron-SS. On a specifically founded Facebook \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgroup, expressions like \u201cfilthy pack\u201d and \u201cbrutes\u201d were posted. OnemMember of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthis group is also the CDU member of parliament Christoph Bergner \u2013 what has \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tlet to protest at the political level\u201d <\/em>(Wiemann 2014). Bergner, in return, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttries to appease and dissociates himself from the xenophobic manifestations \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdecidedly. He wants to take the concerns of local residents seriously but dissociates \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thimself from the hostile comments, he stated. The message about problems with \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\timmigrant Rroma is symptomatic of a one-sided reporting, which usually portrays \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma pejoratively. The difficulties with the immigrants seem to be exaggerated. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThere are also other voices, which don\u2019t report any problems with the new \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tresidents. Not all immigrants from Romania and Bulgaria are Rroma, since they \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trepresent only a minority there. There are also ethnic Bulgarians and Romanians \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twho migrate to Germany. In addition, a minority should not be equated with an underclass. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThere are also many Rroma who belong to the middle class. The negative \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpropaganda against Rroma negates all these details. This is dangerous. Romani \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRose, chairman of the central council of German Sinti and Rroma, meanwhile \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcalls for stronger involvement of the authorities. The state is too lenient towards \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinflammatory language, as the last election campaign showed, when racist \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tslogans such as \u201cmoney for grandma instead for Sinti and Roma\u201d were tolerated upon \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treference to freedom of expression, Rose states (compare Halle Spektrum 2014, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tM\u00f6bius\/Prasse 2014, Wiemann 2014).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Halle Spektrum (2014) Nach Schmierereien in der \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSilberh\u00f6he: Kritik vom Zentralrat der Sinti und Roma.
