A country like France -- which sees itself as a leader in Europe -- will, of course, be seen as legitimizing discrimination and perhaps even violence. In the last few years, Romani in Hungary, the Czech and Slovak Republics have been beaten, shot, stabbed, and firebombed, with many of the victim's families and children. And if you can picture one of those thugs with a bloodied knife or baseball bat in hand, walking away from a beaten man lying behind him, you have to ask yourself -- what message is someone like that likely to take from this new crackdown in France? Surely it is that his violence has been somehow sanctioned and legitimated by the actions of the French government. Surely the message which someone like that will take from the actions of the French government is that somehow -- he was on the right track ...

It is the European voter and all others in the world who have the interest of any oppresed people in their hearts. As one person is oppressed so are we all.

France must be stopped. This is unconscionable behavior. It is another act of white supremacy and of the arrogance of a group who sees themselves better than others. Their acts speak of a hardened and calloused sociaty, unable to remember even some of their own history.

Sinister. The inhumanity of their deciscion to send people into poverty, to dislodge people from their homes is brutal and criminal. Not so unlike what we see in the us-- walls to keep out our neighbors. Deportation - splitting parents from children. We cry for family unity and family values and rights and at the same time destroy them. We have the Middle Passage for Africans sent to America and the Halocaust for Jews, Armenians, Roma, Blacks etc. And now we have deportation. Is this not a step towards anilhilation. And what's next?

The world's powers need to step- in and warn France and other discriminating, hating countries that this is unacceptable behaviors and can not be tolerated in a so-caled "civilized" world. But, we must remember that France does not walk alone, she is only as powerful as her suppporters - the collaborator countries and the silent allies.
