[Toad166666]

[PointlessX]

From a romanian... you got it so wrong ! It's pathetic...

[taliayu]

vai saracii ce discriminati sint...cei mai mari proxeneti si traficanti de droguri..cine sta pe viilor si in rahova stie

[gabikinetis]

[bootystuffer]

god dmn ur gipsies rr whiteee? what u complaining forr.. our gipsies in albania look fuking pakistani color... shit, maybe its bc we didnt fuck ours.

[Mrmoc7]

This is trully great reporting. I am so proud of Al Jazeera English.

That said, Romania, Italy, these places are appearing more interesting than I could've predicted.  I want to visit there now, especially Romania.

[RFAVORlT]

before Romania becomes an UE member some countrys like ITALY have repoted Romania severel times for gipsys rights, now that we are part of UE and a lots of gipsys have emigrated to ITALY well now italians should give them rights as they have asked to ROMANIA before.

But what is ITALY doing ? EXPULZE THEM ! No dear italians, give them jobs, give them food and money .. you have cryed so much about gipsys, now that you have it in your own yard behave with them .. WE DONT WANT THEM BACK !!

[iFALX]

all gypsyes should be deported in turkey

[sa140]

why people are very racist about gypsys? not all gypsys are the same one is evil one is kind consider this.

Dont Judge People By The Way They Look.

[75649674]

death to gypsy people. export them abroad and leave the country clean.

[daann70]

The Gypsies They like to take everything ready not to work A fair that all people And this reporter made this REPORTAJ showed only Negatively PARK USA flowing with milk and honey, and dogs ditch with COLAC IN TAIL as if would have PARTIES AND THEIR NEGATIVE EI

[monili69]

Anyone who is interested in knowing the real facts about gypsies needs to look for a report or should i say a documentary made by BBC in colaboration with a romanina tv chanel..about the origins of gypsy people.

i am romanian and honestly all my life i heard things about the gypsy people, i tought that they were romaninas like us i had no clue where or who they were..till i saw that report! its on you tube , somewhere..please look at it its very interesting..about 60min long!

[alinaki6]

this story is distorted, translations are manipulated to make it look worse then what it really is, this is not the full story nor the big picture, tell the reporters to try living in Romania for a few months and we'll see how they change their opinion and agree with us. they are given all the opportunities to turn around, there are many programs for rehabilitation for them and they don't care to use them.

[RaPPeRXtazy]

sami sugeti pula toti :DD

[aafaking]

that's just how gypsies are, nomadic and backwords from what i see, i hate to say it...everywhere i go i always see gypsies begging on the streets or stealing purses and cell phones, when romania built nice apartments for them to settle in it was completly trashed and destroyed. i hate having this mind set if someone can educate me on the real reason of why they are like that please tell me, this hatred for gypsies doesn't happen for no reason

[iMPERIALSUPPORT]

Well I'm no expert, but I have recently found out I have Romani roots on my grandma's side.

from what I understand they have always had it rough and have had to resort to steal because of how the general public has treated them. They wouldn't have to steal if they didn't have to try so hard to survive. Dislike for these people is probably ancient,

[AbtinX]

I saw this documentary about South Central LA, and this old black man says "I live in a society where I'm disrespected, disenfranchised, attacked and targeted by law enforcement. Every door is closed to me. So you tell me, why should I respect any of this? Your laws, your society. It's all a gun pointed my way" If any one of you lived in that you would understand

[RomanicusMaximus]

What do you know about the Hood, fuck-face? Suck my black dick!

[gypogal]

RACIST unbelievable that people still stereo an type entire Race !!!!!! Gypsy's just like ALL people of the world have both good & Bad..... how backwards & unsophisticated can you be ?

[AbtinX]

these people are a bunch of racist bigoted people, it is their culture, just be proud of who you are and don't take offense at dogs barking your way.

[AbtinX]

we get enough shit from people in the streets that we have to confront, why bother with idiots on the net

[gypogal]

true..... not as bad in Aus

[paul202]

its not 10% of the population...its 2%

[THEPOPEBANNEDME]

But how many trouble those fucking idiots gipsyes do they don't say about it ?

When I was a kid in Romania, the gipsyes always beat me and stole my ball and my money, they should be sent in ocean or India.

WE DON'T WANT TO HATE THEM !!! THEY MAKE US TO HATE THEM !!!

[Californianboy626]

gypsy's are not people they should be killed and hung one by one till theres none left genocide those bitches.

[morandi4u]

i`m on your side !!!

[hubiethesaint]

I have a question maybe someone could answer for me? Didn't the Nazi's also kill gypsys?

[hellgoth]

yes

[gypogal]

yes Hitler DID thousands of us

[chickensupdude]

You know why people say... you're a gypsy go away? well check it out.. most of em if you don't give them money they threaten you and they tell you if you don't give us money or do what we want we will come tonight in your house rape your mother or beat you untill you die and other things which they will doo.. it's true a FEW OF THEM are honest but the rest... of 95% are thieves, robbers, pick pocketers and besides they make part of the biggest MAFIA and corruption.. in the government and others!

[davazno1]

What a total bullshit ,the translations are wrong , that guy that is a millionaire is corrupt and gypos are the worst scum . They lie about being persecuted when in fact they are very racists .The stereotypes are true .

[doovorbee]

This is bulshit documentary.Romania is a friendly country and now this idiotic english jurnalists discovered a country not know in in the west and they come here to make this idiotic films to make some eazy money and take a shor vacantion while filming. Ohhh many milionaire in my countries are people that worked in the comunist Securitare or the Romanian Secred Service and I don't belive the story of this man is like this people present it. And never heard about this Costel.

[doovorbee]

I 'm romanian and I have a gypsi friend working as a cop,we are not racist but gypsies must send their kids to school if they want better life. You can't make 5 kids and send them on the treets. And is the same in Ungaria and Bulgaria.

[choochoodacat]

I know lots of Romanian people who are not racist. Unfortunately I know many many more who are racist.......Tiganii children have NO CHANCE of getting through school because of Romanians and the teachers also.......FACT

[doovorbee]

Bullshit,we shure don't burn them like italians do. I had a girlfriend half gipsy,here father was romanian and here mother was gipsy and se was very smart, good in school and beautiful Even if the wasn't white like the rest of my friends nobody had a problem with it as long you don't steal or act rude. I got jacked in Hungary for 400 euros by some hungarian gipsys and I still don't hate you people...what more can you ask?

[lesleyhenriquez]

@doovorbee Ungaria? What the hell kind of country is that?

[freest2dogg]

My uncle got jacked by a gypsy gang in Mexico.

[MENCADO]

I'm sorry about your uncle. There are, undoubtedly, some people who are Gypsies who do things like that, just like there are people from other groups of people who do things like that, some of whom do those things to people who are Gypsies.

[westreb41]

I love gypsies. They are really wonderful people. When I first lived in Romania there were so many terrible stereotypes that made me afraid of gypsies. However, I got to know them and love them. I ended up marrying a gypsy five years ago when I was just 13 and now we live in a grand house with lots of gold and tons of music and family members. Its a great life.

[choochoodacat]

full of bullshit.........you are obviously a ROMANIAN!!!!!!!

[madbrendan]

if they dont wanna be known as beggers and theives they should try not begging and theiving!

cant stand them...

[choochoodacat]

You can't (with apostrophe) stand them because you are scum and are not in the least understanding of anything different to yourself (i.e. racist). I am very successful and rich but would not die if I had nothing.....HOW would I do it........ ANY way I could, and so would you or maybe you are a pathetic wimp what lies down and simply dies without a fight!!!

[patboyuk]

Racial hate is hate. Only when we learn to accept the differences in others will we release these valued judgements. The creator did not create so much diversity in the world for us to hate anything different from ourselves.

[ionutxxdan]

don't be just a romanian, be the romanian you pretend you are, otherwise you'r nothing but a liar, Peace. I'm out.

[ionutxxdan]

and racist cocksuckers, all you do is just blame, fuck, if u are so righteous why don't come to your smart senses and teach the uneducated, show some fucking heart, but you'r stupid and ignorant, u think you know shit, but your knowledge stinks and you should start looking into your own garden and you'll see that you'r not much different from a Gypsy, in many cases you'r not just a "Gypsy' but a coward, so stop hating and make a difference, remember your roots, don't be just a romanian ...

[ionutxxdan]

but when the shit will blow up in the western Europe, will see who's better off. And as Romania gets better economically it will not take long before all gypsy people will get educated and blended in with the rest of the country, and for the record, the majority of gypsies are cool people, I grew up with them and I have a lot of gypsy friends, and as for the romanian haters, go fuck yourselves, stupid cunts, and racist cocksuckers ...

[ionutxxdan]

Ok now, enough is enough, it is true that gypsies are as they are, but one thing is for sure, I am romanian and I'd rather preffer having gypsies in my country than arabs as they are now invading the west of Europe, so all this bitching about what is going on in romania it is nothing compare to what the English have in their country or the french, so chill fuckers, the romanians will never have to fear no gypsies and no gypsies ever have to fear romanians, we've lived togather for 100ds of years

[rapy00]

oh my God!! she just said 10% of the population, all amateurs are acting la pro's these days....

[dragangorila]

you fucking romanians are jealous of the gyspies, because most of them live better of than most of you fucking nazis!

[gipsiehunny]

ur soo rite...FUCK THE ROMANIANS

[danyboyy87]

yeah right.. the most begger in romania are gypsies (99,9%), the biggest orginesed crime gangs are gypsies gangs. All the rich gypsies made their money illegal (they don't pay taxes), all gypsie songs are arabic or indian covers (and thay don't pay to those artists anything)... yeah we are very 'jelouse' on this shitheads. Oh that's not all just go in Italy and see what the romanian gypsies are doing there and what the italins think about them...

[mariussteaua88]

You stupid fucks u come and make this piece of shit film.U want to clean they're image.U dont't know that they have more right's then us.If u give them a house they will sell it and they prefer to live in the sewers.They don't resprect the law and they terorise our country.Come to Romania and see who are they!!!!!We leave our country beacause of them.Can't u see in Italy,France and other they are full of them and they steal.This is our country and we are rulled by gypsies and hungarians.

[dragangorila]

romaninan is still one of europes poorest countrys and you losers still hate the gypsies you dumb short fucking romanians.

[divinejudge1]

Gypsies once wanted to take my mother (kidnapp) her as a child when they passed through her home

[yu255673]

...I concur with the statement...Your word should be more important than you signature on a piece of paper...

[costantin007]

british basterds in londonistan who suck it to the arabs ...aljazeera...a terorist tv station run with oil money from the saudies

[pakiman47]

qatari money you uneducated prick

[costantin007]

you corrected me when i said oil money?! hahaha

[CivilBrigade]

What the hell is your problem?

[costantin007]

total left wing propaganda..jews are bad..palestinians are fredom fighters...whole world hates the muslims ...Arafat was a great leader crap...blabh..blabh...crying arabs..boo-huu

[SianMycock]

Bullshit. What we are seeing is an unreported people. It is natural then to look at their position in society and why they are marginalised. Anyway... this is not completely pro-Roma - it made clear that the businessman could be corrupt, and that petty crime was higher among the community. The difference is it's not about race: it's about post-Ceaucescu Romania and about poverty.

[costantin007]

THIS ARAB CHANNEL IS TOTAL CRAP

[mimeNo9]

This international news channel is holding a mirror up to all societies. If you see "crap," it's only a reflection of you and your society. Change yourself and your society, and you won't be seeing crap.

Bravo, Al Jazeera International! Keep up the good work.

[SianMycock]

Well said, mimeNo9!

[costantin007]

spoken like a true terrorist!

[sowhathefuss]

Liste here pussy, Aljazeera is here to stay and growing. Live with it. No one could give a fuck if they were financed by taleban leave alone saudi terror money. Poverty stricken, low class, low life white folks are the ones that talk like you. If you had a real job and life you won't be like that.

[costantin007]

sounds as if a low life,brainless,scared terrorist wants me to be quiet for fear of other realizing the truth.everyone knows the truth.and don't count on the blood-money network staying.one good swat from a fly swatter and poof!

[Khamug]

spoken like a true yankee, smart on internet and in tanks or aircraft

[Tehniqq]

@mimeNo9 you have to be kidding....this channel embraces pseudo-jurnalism, they never get their facts straight and only have a slight idea about what's going on.

[RG415WBFAA]

The woman was an aggressive gypsy. The President was right! The person who is a representative of the Roma community should know better and not chide him for the lack of a moral compass.

[pakiman47]

think of any other country, Us president saying "stinking nigger" that would be ok?

[jklasdfjdfksl]

the scapegoating of racial groups in eastern europe is nothing more than a way for the new economic/governement elites to direct the blame for the suffering of their people on other victims (roma, caucasians, chinese, etc.); local aristocrats organize hate groups and direct efforts of the victims to fight other victims. while the elites are plundering the nations wealth towards themselves and wealthy western investors, these organizers are adopting the western tradition of blaming the victims.

[MENCADO]

Greed vs. compassion. Hmm, I wonder which is worth more - a human being or some material possessions? It is not just a problem for the Gypsies. They are a microcosmic representation of the larger global issue. We all know it. It is a worldwide sickness. No one wants to feel the bite of not having enough.

[MENCADO]

The question is what is enough for each of us to have? Do some people really deserve more than others? Do other people really deserve to suffer having nearly nothing? Am I innocent? No. Do I give? Yes. But again, what is enough, and what is not enough to give?

[MENCADO]

They are just people trying to survive. Those who see them as any less, do not given compassion, and so I say they do not give enough. Compassion doesn't cost you anything material, you might even find that it really does do your heart quite a bit of good. They are desperate people. Calling them natural born criminals and treating them as less than human is both sick and inhumane.

[YadaYadaguy]

all i can say is the Gypsys have gotten a bad deal throughout history...HItler rounded them up and gassed them first but its all about the jews in the history books.and this still goes on.many laws are passed to crush Gypsys yet the survive.while the "tormented" jews are living large...while i dont think grouping people in small groups ethnic or religious is going to help ..i do think as long as we have these groups on our planet we should treat each person with respect and allow freedom.

[costantin007]

the president is good...you don't f@$#%ing understand...GYPSYS ARE BAD...in a proportion of 70% to 80%...romanian jails are full of them...we have a discount only for the Brithish people...5 gypsys for the price of 1...limited 1 tiket per costumer...rest of europe stay in line ...more gypsys to come...just wait nice and taidy...hide your pin bank codes...lol

[laborgrunt]

The fact that 70-80% of the people in Romanian prisons are Roma, only means that the Romanian gov't and by and large the idiotic populace like costantin007 are racist shitbags.

[costantin007]

hey laborgrunt sh*t for brains:you're a pompous windbag with no common sense.you feel like a big shot being able to comment on something you're completely stupid about? you sound like every ethnic group who wants others to believe it'a a mistake that their group takes up 90 percent of the prisons! it's a fact d**chebag! go put your flower in someone else's gun,and stick your head back up your a** where it's obviously been your whole life!

[laborgrunt]

wow, you sound just like a racist paranoid douchebag.

Go suck a tailpipe!

[costantin007]

this tv station is a left wing propaganda machine from the pitt hole of the earth-middle east...bu-hu palestinians the arab nomads need their land back after they solded for peanuts...and old fart arafat took their moneys and stickit in swiss bank...bu-hu romanian gypsys are poor ...bu-hu Bush is bad...bu-hu the world dosen't give a s@#$t about muslims...bu-hu lets start a riot because they called the profet name mohamad in a bad way...bu-hu..:)

[jklasdfjdfksl]

wow, sounds like your doing all the crying. understand that you are not the only one in this world that has the right to be treated like a human being. people will advocate their own rights and will not accept domination from oppressors who do not care about them or their interests.

[clingc]

The president is very bad.

[Daritto7117]

Why don't they just stick them back in Albania...thats what Yugoslavia did with their Gypsies. ALL OF EUROPE HAS A DISLIKE OF GYPSIES..why get offended?? Name one country that likes them..Germany, UK, France, Bosnia??? haha. Why do they get offended when people call them Gypsyies when thats what "Europeans" have been calling them for 100's of years.

Illeagle Immigrants : America (Dislike)

Gypsies : Europe (Dislike)

Face the facts and move on!!

[jklasdfjdfksl]

why do americans get offended when people say that their country is full of people like you (hatefilled and fearful ignorants)? by your logic, you should be applauding the rise of anti-americanism. there is a logical foundation for the rise of anti-americanism throughout the world, their foreign/economic policies have killed billions and oppress the worlds people on a daily basis. you are just throwing another small stick onto the fire, rather than looking for a solution.

[Daritto7117]

"Im Rick James Bitch, I'll shmack your dick off"

-Rick James

[laborgrunt]

Lol, WTF?

[makhluq]

Its Gypsy, not Gyspy.

[Daritto7117]

"Largest, Poorest, AND FASTEST GROWING"..just cut off their tiny indian decended penis'..their just shipqutari..stick em' in Albania like Yugoslavia did..lol

[costantin007]
