People are acting like she deserves this, like it’s a despicable act, but she literally threw drops of chocolate milk at them, and she’s facing battery charges. Some people say she should be charged with assault. She’s being targeted heavily by antisemitic attacks, which surpises no one. I haven’t seen anyone talk about her yet, and I really hope she is able to get through this because she does not deserve these charges or these attacks.
UPDATE:
[image 1: “Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke has now gotten ahold of Shelby’s case & it’s on his timeline. He was involved in the Unite the Right rally at which Heather Heyer was killed. Shelby is now afraid for her parents safety. @floridastate plz comment. REPORT & SPREAD THIS WIDELY.

David Duke knows about Shelby. The Grand Wizard of the KKK knows about this vulnerable Jewish woman. Please donate and help her if you can, she is fearing for her family’s safety and it’s very, very common for jewish people to be attacked and have people look the other way.
This morning, an active shooter at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill murdered at least seven people, possibly more. Two responding officers have been wounded as well. The killer has not yet been apprehended and police are asking anyone in the immediate area to stay indoors.
Please keep Pittsburgh’s Jewish population in your thoughts, and continue to demand stronger action to keep weapons out of the hands of those who would commit hate crimes.
If you are local, the Central Blood Bank has experienced shortages recently and will surely benefit from your help. If you are able to donate, especially if you are a rare blood type, please go in and do so asap.
Forever wondering how many of the people saying “we should punch Nazis” actually talk about modern antisemitism or antiromanyism, ever. Cause it sort of feels like you only care about Jews and Roma when we’re dead
Romani people are being beaten up and killed in Eastern Europe right fucking NOW, but the only ones being outraged about this and talk about it, are Romani and Jews. Deafening silence from the rest of those anti Nazis out there. Makes me spit feathers…and exhausted 😡
Ok so I didn’t know about this issue until literally right now, so here’s some articles from the ERRC.
TW for: Anti-Romani racism, Fascism, Holocaust praise/parallels, Genocide, police brutality, murder and other forms of violence.
Mainstream international media is generally apathetic towards these issues, but please make an effort to keep yourself informed. People are dying.
Reblogging again with the info because I totally didn’t know until I saw this post too!
Aren’t Romani children being segregated in schools?? Segregation is still alive today and no one is saying anything about it
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
In Norway, up until I think it was the 60s, maybe even later, Romani children were actively pulled out of their families, and put in either foster homes or in orphanages and only taught Christianity and Norwegian morals.
In my own town there are people maybe not even 50y/o who grew up in these homes.
After having done this for generations most parts of Romani culture have been erased from Norway, and in all my history books I have never even seen a footnote about this.
In our large library there are two small books and a pamphlet about it, that’s all information Norway has after erasing a people from our Norwegian culture.
