“Being a negro in America means trying to smile when you want to cry. It means trying to hold onto physical life amid psychological death. It means the pain of watching your children grow with clouds of inferiority in their mental skies. It means having your legs cut off and then being condemned for being a cripple. It means seeing your mother and father spiritually murdered by the slings and arrows of daily exploitation and then being hated for being an orphan.”
– Martin Luther King Jr.

I don’t usually write on Sundays, being the Lord’s day, and although my ability to Express Myself so well in print is a gift from the Holy Ghost, writing is, in my mind, being a wordsmith, a craftsman, so to write anything but Praise on a Sunday is wrong in my mind. For years now, that’s the only of the 10 commandments that I break semi-regularly. So it’s like this thing I struggle with, not to labor on Sunday.
HOWEVER, may God please forgive me, I MUST quote Senator Kamala Harris (remember this was written early 2019). Missed the debate Friday night, hearing it 72 hours late as I was out of electricity, which occasionally happens, because I live off-grid in a vehicle-home (like a gypsy historically does).
I’ll only quote the woman today, so I don’t lose a vowel.
“…Federal Government must step in because there are moments when the States fail to preserve the civil rights of the People.”
Hatred of gypsies is what I’ve been formally studying (while living it) for more than two decades. I have also litigated it and will continue to do so. In my humble opinion, the only place a civil rights issue can be changed is in a courtroom.
First book is on Academia under my name. I was accepted there as an Independent Researcher (literally my proudest moment as a gypsy) and I stay in the top 5% (with a little gold cup on my profile there!). My contribution to gypsy anthropology is a paper that is titled 633 years of anti-gypsy laws and acts. My first book is there too, available for free because it is a 1900+ of, half-a-million word collection of mainstream CURRENT articles about the nomadic arranged geographically, included if the editors of said piece allowed hate comments about gypsies to remain in their comment boxes. The book is about the comments and not so much the more neutral pieces, but to make sense, I have to include the article. COPYRIGHT ACT allows fair use to educate (plus to be safe, my own comments are included in italics, satire at its finest). It shocked me how hated we are. The comments that advocate violence or mention Hitlar in a positive way are marked with a bold, over sized “V”. The book is called MY BIG FAT BOOK OF GYPSY TRAVELLER LIES, HATE & BIGOTRY.
Second book about the lies, the threats, the conspiracy from 1998-2001 with San Francisco City Hall, as I was able to prove with their own documents. COLLECTED LETTERS FROM THE ABYSS which is an eBook @selz plus in paper on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.
Third book is a collection of essays about being a gypsyTraveller forced to sit down three years in a City that outlaws their lifestyle. We were forced by court to submit to an illegal stay on their right to travel July 1998 to June 2001. Three years in a black Bluebird School Bus, with 4 small kids growing up under the eye of hate, lies, bigotry. The first lead prosecutor for CPS was Katherine Feinstein, daughter of the California Senator. Second lead CPS prosecutor was Kamala Harris. Name of this book is NOMADIC PROUD subtitled Apartheid is not the same as Segregation and Other Lessons I Never Expected to Learn in San Francisco.
Enough explanation as to why I am writing on a beautiful and blessed Sunday. Now I have to go spend the rest of the day asking the Holy Ghost to tell God that I’m sorry.
