Artist's Comments

Lately I've noticed stamps everywhere, some with a meaningful message behind them, some not. So I decided to make two based on something that I feel very strongly about. Prejudice against the Romani people (aka Gypsies).

Romani people are today still prosecuted and outcasted and even murdered for the way they choose to live their lives, and it has to stop. It's sickening that this sort of behaviour ever happened, let alone the fact that it still goes on today.

Show your support for Romani rights by displaying this stamp on your journal. Draw attention to the subject instead of brushing it back under the carpet. Making people aware is the first step in ridding the world of such behaviour.

Goodness, me...they STILL persecute Gypsies? How very tragic! :( It's a shame the news never talks about something like this & makes people aware of Gypsy persecution. Heck, I wasn't even aware it was still going on until I read this.

Sadly I don't think it will ever end. People just don't seem to care.

I am studying the history and culture of the Roma at Evergreen State College and i have to say much progress has been made to educate folks about the Roma. tolerance starts with education. the Romany have one of the most fascinating histories i have ever studied, as well as one of the most heart wrenching. I support Roma rights.

Thank you for making this stamp, immediate journal add is mandatory! :D

They still prosecute Romane? What the hell, we're human too. Perfectly deserving of all of the same rights as everyone else.
My faith in humanity has dropped drastically just from learning this. :no:

LEAVE GYPSIES ALOOONE!!!

Seriously tho. This is awesome. I'm putting it in my journal. I'm part gypsy myself. lol.
:iconillilith:
Oh yes! Finally! I don't care what those freaks in EU think. I'm a Rom supporter all the way through! The Roma just need to be left alone, damn it! How could someone make the claim that Gypsies are "unclean" or "parasitic"? They're so richly cultured and their music is absolutely breathaking! What happened to this bass-aackward world!?
