I grew up in my incredible Gypsy family through the 80s & 90s..
We Lived the life, the moving from place to place..the School bullying, the persecution from Teachers, shopkeepers & police..chucked out of supermarkets..shovelled Tarmac, Pulled Trailers at 3am, Stood in the ring...
..All of this was a normal part of my life before I was Ten year old..& I wouldn’t change it for a thing, because There ain’t no Life like it, or any solidarity like a Gypsy’s Solidarity when it comes to us..I am incredibly proud of what I am..& who we are..
..when we fall out with eachother, we fall out & fight it out, right out in the open.. & when we are done, we love eachother all over again..
you’ll never go hungry, in a Gypsy woman’s place, & you’ll never get the last word either, if you’re being a cheeky Cnut..
..you might not know, but we can tell another one of us from a mile away..
I can sometimes even tell by the way a Gypsy man pulls his trousers up, or how a girl has her hair..
most of us have no idea we even have a Flag..lovely as it is..me Dad wouldn’t know it if I showed him...
..I’m no longer taken back by the lack of support for us there is..I am extremely cynical of it all.
The gatekeeping also, from people I know have never stepped in a trailer in their life, claiming to be one of us by very distant heratiage & making dogshit choices on our behalf..
..I get very tired of being purity tested & blacklisted by people & organisations that claim to support us all..in my eyes, it wipes out every good intention they claim to be about..we do not have ‘kings, community leaders, or one newspaper that represents our entire Voice...
..despite what you see online, there are very few of us on here, fighting the fight.. most of us are out there at home, protecting our families & just trying to survive the oncoming hell put upon us all by this government & years of Racism & persecution..
But those of us who are online spreading the word need to stick together & stop with the Jealousy & b*••shit. It ain’t about you, or your website clicks..
But see how few of em even interact with this thread..
Our Race have very little Real Support..
..& I’m out of fucks to be polite anymore..we need to stick up for eachother, stop accepting Crumbs & demand better.
Also.. you know who you are...There are plenty of Genuine GRT people out there, who are here to fight for the cause, not the f*cking platform..
..We are in this together! Xxx stand up for eachother xx
I Fucking love our beautiful, Culture & Race.. xxx ❤️❤️ #InternationalRomaDay.
