Gypsies

From Metapedia

Gypsies (ţigani, zingari, tsigans, zigeuners, cigani, cikani) are nomadic people who migrated from India to Iran and Mediterranean Asia, since century V, then they migrated to Byzantine Empire in century IX. From Byzantine Empire they penetrated the south-east and the center of Europe (centuries X – XIV). And they went to the north of Africa too. In century XV Gipsies entered in west of Europe (specially Iberian Peninsula), and since century XIX in North America and South America.

[edit] Etymology

Acording to the famous Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga the word ţigani (meaning Gipsies in Romanian language) comes from the expression ti gange which means in Hindoo language beyond the Gange that shows the origins of the Gipsies.

A Gipsy sociologist Gheorghe Nicolae says that the name ţigani could came from a Greek word Athinganoi which means do not touch, and later became ţigani (Gipsies).

The English word Gypsy (or Gipsy) came from the Greek word Αιγύπτοι (Aigyptoi). They were called in this way because it was erroneous belief that the Gipsies’ origin is in Egypt.

[edit] Conspiracy

Using the word Roma for Gipsies is stupid because in Latin, Italian and Romanian Language the word ROMA (Rome in English) is the name of the capital of Italy. Also using the words like Rrom, Roma, Romany and Romani it seems to be a conspiracy which wants to make confusion with Romanians (an European Nation) and Romania (meaning the country of Romans) and to declare in future Romania as the country of Gipsies.

[edit] Behavior

Gypsies are a nomadic people known for their violent attitude towards the populations who guest them. Most of them prefer a "parasitic" lifestyle: misusing of welfare system and begging as a livelihood instead of working.

Genetic evidence shows that Gypsies originated in India. In fact, Haplogroup H of mtDNA is common among them which is geographically found only in India. It is believed by some that Gypsies were expelled as criminals from ancient India. Being their ancestors selected among criminals, they have a genetic inheritage that makes them more inclined to steal and commit violence against other people.

Gypsies are well known for mistreating their children. They often abandon them, or put them to beg on the roads.

According to a recent survey on Gypsies living near Belgrade, Serbia, their average IQ was about 80 (against the European average of 100).

Slovak sociologist F. Olejár described the behavior of some Gypsies in East Slovakia (year 1972):

The Gypsies, for example, drag a wire across the road, so a bygoing motorcyclist will crash. For welfare money, they buy only a dog, brandy, nothing for the children. Throughout the year, they killed about ten young calfs in the barns of JRD [Unified agricultural co-op] (by hitting them in the kidneys) and stole the carcasses. (...) They steal cherries by chopping down whole branches or even trees. They do not buy any potatoes, because they can easily suffice with the stolen. They steal, kill and eat dogs. They assault peasants with knifes, but also use scythes and axes. Robbings are common, the peasants mostly give up in advance.
