Saturday morning. The sound of the gypsy music is moving closer. They have a bear on a chain-leash. Kids throw coins from the balcony and the gypsy man makes the bear dance. Ah, the sweet memories of my childhood.
Today the dancing bears are liberated. After the fall of communism the French actress Brigitte Bardot made a worldwide campaign against the cruelty involved in training the dancing bears. Bulgarian government had to buy the bears from the gypsies. The animals were expensive one could cost as much as a fancy German car. Special reservation areas were designated for the liberated bears.
Tons of reports have been produced condemning the countries on the Balkans for violation of Romas human rights. Glitzy Cannes movie crowds screamed for tolerance for the Roma in Eastern Europe.
Ironically today when the gypsies took their camps to Brigitte Bardots neighborhood, France is no longer tolerant. President Sarkozy is performing expulsion of busloads of Roma back to Eastern Europe. French readily demand tolerance for the Roma as long as they are not camping in their backyard... Is it fair for the Eastern Europeans to demand France to be as accommodating for the Roma as France demanded Eastern Europe to be accommodating for the Roma?
That would mean: stop the buses and, yes, it is you who pay. The same way the folks in Eastern Europe have to when Roma are camping in town. Be French enough to live up to the standards you set yourselves for others.
If France is annoyed by the Roma, then France should let Eastern Europe to be free to be annoyed by them too. Is this the end of the political correctness on the Roma issues?

I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Gypsies, and not just because family legend says I descend from them. They symbolize everything I want to be in relation to the government: a pesky little sh*t who can’t be tied down.
The Czechs best watch out with this kick out and push around stuff; there are historic records attesting to the arrival of the Slavs in Bohemia ~ and say, BTW, didn't the Czechs eat the natives?
The French did succeed in freeing the gypsy’s bears. Now they are after the hunters in America.
don’t they steal?
Make those bastards dance.
Romania is now in the European Union. The Romanian Gypsies are free to live in France.
They are famously good in stealing - very skilled in it. The irony is that Western Europe was always whining that East does not treat the Roma well. Today Romania is a EU member - all Romanians (including the gypsies) can live in France if so they wish.
The other type of bear is more recently "domesticated". The ones you see in "entertainment" are from Russia ~ and they are still wild enough that if they didn't pull their fangs and declaw them they'd be dining on Gypsy ribs and things!
I kind of follow what goes on with these bears because they are different species, and the more domesticated type no longer has any wild populations. It may be the Gypsys preserved the species. Still, the crazy European bear-lovers probably don't care and imagine these two quite different species can breed!
They'll probably toss them into cages with North American blackbears!
It's all quite simple.
The real reason the Roma from Romania are going back to Romania is they did bad stuff.
The gypsies were earning their bread with those bears. The French insisted that Bulgarians buy the bears and release them in specially designed reservation areas. So the bears went on the tax-money subsidies and the gypsies went on welfare.
After causing all this liberal disaster on the Balkans - now the French don’t want to spend their tax-dollars on the Roma.
This is very hypocritical. The Roma from Romania are EU citizens.
True - they don’t get French citizenship - they can reside in France though - they have right to work, buy property etc.
If those are criminals - it is OK. If those are just messy neighbors - I don’t know.
I feel for the French in the case. Them being politically incorrect is very refreshing.
Czechs
That is their profession. They are colorful and they are enchanting and they are incurable thieves.
It is possible and I hope it is real that France is practicing for a much more significant Expulsion in the near future. That is the one thing I can think of that might avert the swamping of Europe by the Umma for a short time. Then maybe Europe can work on getting the birth rate up and welfare and taxes down. Those things go hand in hand.
When folks on the Balkans tried to make Roma and Muslims assimilate in the society - France and the West were whining about human rights. Now that the problem reached them they bus the Roma back to the Balkans.
The West shouldn’t have meddled when the Balkans tried to solve their own problems.
