Long live the Gypsies.



Meow* She says. And a Rawr* with that :) *Edgy much.*

What comes to your mind when I mention gypsies?? Nomads?? Secret ancient societies?? Curses, charms and spells?? Or even dirty old hags?? Maybe scruffy children and caravans?? Hmm, condemned souls that cannot keep their land?? Or liabilities even?? 

I mean, c'mon. Even Hitler tried to eradicate them. Long live the gypsies man. They came to outlive Hitler and he couldn't kill them off, hard as he tried to :) Haha. He must be an angry man in his grave :) 
"Why are there still Jews and Gypsies roaming this Earth when I'm rotting in my grave?? Ggrr." ---->> Must be on his mind :) LOL we'd never know.

Anyway, I feel like they are pre judged. Bias presumptions are put on them and thus they become what people think they are and think them to be. Everyone needs a chance. They have pretty unique histories as well. They still remain one of the most persecuted people around today. Most countries don't really accept them. They are chased off American land simply because they are on common land, and common land is owned by tax payers. Basically, that's what people tell their kids.  When the truth is that, they are pre judged and hated by society because they have a different lifestyle altogether. They are considered crooks and a threat to children. People fear them for various reasons.

The English term Gypsy (or Gipsy) originates from the Greek word for "Egyptian", Αιγύπτιοι (Aigyptioi, whence modern Greek γύφτοι gifti), in the belief that the Romanies, or some other Gypsy groups (such as the Balkan Egyptians), originated in Egypt, and in one narrative were exiled as punishment for allegedly harbouring the infant Jesus.This exonym is sometimes written with capital letter, to show that it designates an ethnic group

This is an extract taken from one of the articles on the history of Gypsies.

Gypsies come from many different ethnicities. Indians, Irish, Finnish and more have lines of gypsies. Gypsies are even persecuted till today. One of the countries that has been performing sterilization on gypsy women is Czechoslovakia, which began the routine in 1973. It is said to be   beneficial to society because they are reducing the "liabilities".

Gypsies are one of the most persecuted ethnic groups and I would like to say, give them a chance. Seriously, they're not all that bad. Don't pre judge people. 
Also, I'd like to say, dare to be different!! 

So what?? :) Throw on those hot clothes, get up and strut about. Being different is edgy, hot and sexy. 
To all the girls out there, you ARE BEAUTIFUL :) Don't let words bring you down. Really, you ALL are beautifully and wonderfully made; no matter what size and height/ race/ ethnicity/ skin color you have or are from. Someone who'll accept for who you are and not how you look like is definitely a keeper :)

And to you, jerk, (JTHJ) you know who you are. You're dead :) You lied to her, you brought down my name, humiliated me publicly behind my back, and now you'll bear the consequences of it. I just hope you'll be prepared ;)

To all my bloggermunkeys,
All my love :)  <3 <3
Xx, Shia.
