correction: you don't care about what happened 100 years ago. You don't care because it doesn't affect you. 100 years ago isn't very long ago at all, and the economic consequences can still effect people. The difference for people who's grandparents or great grandparents were able to work normally and provide for their children and the people who's grandparents or great grandparents who were slaves.
- chimen 6y agoGermany rebuilt itself 2 times from the ground up in the last 100 years. These ones can barely finish 4 years in school here and they receive special treatment for doing so anyways. Most of them are in there for the monthly help from the state. My parents were unable to provide me with anything and I still managed to finish my school. They provided education and that is enough sometimes. The right kind of education. These are not oppressed people that live in poor conditions: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BXrYLzPlSw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BXrYLzPlSw https://stirileprotv.ro/stiri/social/ue-baga-degeaba-zeci-de-mii-de-euro-in-programe-sociale-tiganii-prefera-sa-plece-din-romania.html https://stirileprotv.ro/stiri/social/ue-baga-degeaba-zeci-de... - social integration for gypsies paid by the European Union. The gypsies say that "honest work is hard and not very well paid" and they prefer to stay on welfare instead. Last phrase says this: "France, Germany and Italy won't give up and continue to supply Romania with money in order to try harder to integrate gypsies and keep them HOME" - they had enough of them also. We know better - I'm not one to discriminate but these are facts. I tried, we tried, you lot do whatever you can to keep them here, at home, in order to avoid having them in Paris, London or Frankfurt but...pointing please refrain from pointing fingers at us.
- mariusor 6y agoWe haven't tried hard enough my dude. If you trust the Eastern European governments to do (or to have done) an honest attempt at integrating gypsies, I think you're very naive. As a piece of anecdata that I have, a very close friend that was doing a master's degree at the Sociology University in Bucharest mentioned that the literacy in gypsy communities was raised in the early years of the 2000nds due to the "Cornul si Laptele" program. The program that most of the country derided. Poor families started to send their children to school instead of keeping them home because they received a modicum of food and lessened the burden on their parents.
