I know people like adding me to lists - it’s a honour - doesn’t stop the Roma part of my brain for the first second, which sees the notification: “You’ve been added to a list” 🥶🥶🥶🥶

See you tomorrow at the @uusociologydep.bsky.social to discuss the history and present consequences of #Romani enslavement, their erasure from #Europe's self-narratives & why racialized political subjects have been rendered unthinkable in modernity/coloniality, as Michel-Rolph #Trouillot taught us!

Most Americans have no idea about this ongoing cold war and how intense it has been from time to time. We are too preoccupied with our own drama. Those people are relatives but hate one another passionately. And they have nukes.

I was sent to a segregated school. Roma children were regularly beaten by the teachers. One Roma girl had her arm broken.

I took down a post about the word “Vista” - some Roma dialects use it to say “clan” However, my Roma dialect, it regularly used to belittle R*pe victims. Meaning - “forcibly penetrated” or “overcome by men” or “foul women”. Same in some Indian languages. Apologies. I posted in anger & removed it.

Google Translate is rubbish. Roma should be going to classes to learn their language. My family are all proud Roma language teachers. Most of us have at least one free class a week.

Archaically, it is documented that Roma women; would oversee Roma Elder Courts, Religious Practices of women and Roma could be led by a Queen.

“Disrespect” form of racism is an interesting thing. When a racist disrespects me for being a Roma. Did I want the respect of a racist? No… Do I respect the racist? No… No respect given, no repeat earned. I will close the door close on the racist.

Wait wait wait… we got the English word “drag” from the original Roma?? I always wondered how the word “drag” came to be associated with LGBT+ art.

When I join a discussion, it is a discussion. I don’t not care to chastise or “cancel” anyone. I just want to add to conversation about anti-Roma hate. Then we can all go forward together…

If you’re going to post at me in Roma, to try and win an argument. It is easy see you used Google Translate. Terrible translations I grew up in a Roma speaking community and speak it everyday.

*My Opinion* Racists can keep their racist films. Roma will keep being Roma. You can find good Roma content on YouTube and other Social Media Platforms.

My recommendation as a Roma Teacher - To all Roma and people of Roma Descent: Join your local Roma Centres and Unions. Be a full part of the Roma Community.
