Various Gypsy groups have faced deathful threats throughout history. We saw the gas chambers of Hitler, We witnessed horrible cruelties. In one sense, history of Gypsy is the history of suffering. However, today, we, as Gypsy peoples, are facing a worse threat than the others we face throughout history. Ones who lost their moral values are trying to disfavor us stigmatizing as a group of drug-dealers.
Hey! My Friend. Keep an eye out for the dangerous game! Be Sober! Listen to me, listen and understand what i mean.

Drugs are moving into various countries via an underground economy. This economy is a bonanza for some people which is as big as usual people like us could never imagine. However, real owners of this bonanza are invisible. They distrubute drugs to drug users over poor people. The poorest people of all countries are generally being used as a cat's paw to deal drugs. It's easy to convince hungry people to participate this game promising bread.
Unfortunately, some of our youngs are being a part of this game. Even worse all of Gypsy groups are being blamed to be drug dealers because of a minority who are convinced by crime organizations. Excellent young Gypsies are being stigmatized as drug dealers in any society. There are also some entellectuals who are believed to be friend of Gypsies. However they improperly accept drug use as a part of our culture and solidify prejudices that way.

How are our youngs being convinced to deal drugs? Our poor people are ready to accept all kind of help. Crime organizations approach our people as they are helpful people. They generally offer our young to use plantal drugs. Plantal drugs started to be inadequate in time and they offer our young chemical drugs that time. When a young turn to a drug addicted completely, they start to force him / her to sell drugs. Then he / she is getting drugs he / she need as he / she sells to others... Contrary to popular belief, it's not difficult to be transitioned from plantal drugs, which are announced not to addict by some so-called entellectuals, to chemical drugs. People who use chemical drugs can overdose easily and they could lose their lifes.
People could not understand our poverty without an eye. Some of our people are starving in some neighbourhoods. They are happy if they could find a piece of bread to eat. It's almost of impossible for our people to find a regular job. Prejudices targeting our people make harder subsistence for us. Job we could do have low income and they are hard jobs. You can't make much money with shoe shining, scrap and paper collecting or agricultural working.
Under these circumstances crime barons knock on our people's doors and make them dependent with both some herbal and chemical drugs which makes them forget their pain for a short time and hope to win an easy money. Sometimes our neighbourhoods are conquered with violence and ruffianism by barons and used as station. And when these are reflected to the TVs, our people live in neighbourhoods become scapegoats but everybody ignores to think about big barons' responsibility. While kind barons sipping scotchs in classy parties some young people who are used as tool are facing inhuman treatments. That is not fair ! Turn a blind eye for quilty ones but turning victims into a target wouldn't be one's with conscience behaviour.

I am a gypsy. I was born in one of the biggest city of the country. The neighbourhood that my family used to live was a Gypsy neighbourhood next to one of the richest regions in the city. My neigbourhood's people paid a big bill because of living next to drug barons' rich clients. Barons turned our neighbourhood to a center for drug selling first for herbal and then chemical drugs. No exaggeration but two generations young peoples lost their lives because of using these drugs. Today this can be the reason people from other neighbourhoods talk about our people as extinct species...
Listen everyone who stigmatize Gypsies as drug users and drug dealers. Our people were the victims of poverty and barons' endless ambition. Despite everything, most of our society didn't fall into that trip. It is still the most of the Gypsy society who prefered to make a living the hard way instead of being barons' slave. And everybody should know our people who fell into barons' trips will wake up one day and build a new life.

My brother ! Life was never fair to you. Yes, you are a victim. I know what you are going through at home, at street, at school, everywhere you go. And i know what they did to you. And what things you had to say yes because of being desperate, and feeling yourself like a leaf in the wind. My brother! You got tipsy whenever you felt all your pain again. Forgetting, bow to the pressures, and pressing your conscience's voice were easier to do. But it is changed. It is time to take your inside beauty, which is seen only by me maybe, out. You are not any of they say. Take this junky shirt off, relax! Come to yourself. Remember who you are... You are a honorable Gypsy. Pick up the handcraft flag which is heritage from your ancestors. When the blood goes to your numbly hands again you will see that you can build a big world with those hands. Look at your hands, look and be proud ! The sun is raising in your hands.
My brother ! Stand up ! Be Sober !

Have a nice week.
