Wedding Cash Shower Invitation Rhyme

Stories of Ordinary Racism. Milan, Metro Green, a boy gets angry with a Roma girl who sings.

not writing for so ... but today I can not help it.

I just got out of the Milan subway, green line 12 pm. a Roma girl, decently dressed, with good singing voice a bad (for me) song Pausini, with the help of a speaker and background music.

After a little boy (end of high school, early college), designer clothes from head to foot, the apostrophe in the wrong way, notice to quit because of discomfort. She, with discretion, does not respond to provocation, and thanked the music stops, but two South American girls before me heartened and say it's good to loud cheering. Some (few) is added to the applause and the girls complain that the big baby for having behaved badly, preventing the girl to finish her work.

The big baby, whose courage is extinguished immediately when it ends its alleged awareness of superiority over a single girl, slender and petite, inane mumbles an apology and blushes like a bell pepper.

A gentleman, very distinguished, he raises his voice from the back, arguing that this is not working, why not pay taxes. I wonder if the same man was never angry, just the same way for the arrival of the government to people who profess to tax evasion and benefit for very different amounts.

Since that time the girls leave that little bit of precaution that had until then and call it by its name: "racism." The big baby objects that he felt it was just annoyed by the music and that is not racist, but the girls surrounded him and say that these are only dramatized the Italians, the gentleman for a couple of times still talks about taxes, but the tone of his item drops exponentially, up to the silence.

even have the courage to be consistent

Brava to the girls who have shown solidarity with courage to a person in difficulty

Brave: people who applauded

Brava: the Roma girl who did not give weight to the provocation and responded with kindness

Bad: the boy, though perhaps he is the victim of many that make propaganda to get to a chair by Mr

poor: the Lord ... probably read the paper and does not even have the excuse of age

Insufficient, to those who did not show even a little bit 'of indignation

Poor: to me, because, while showing solidarity with the girl by going to take a coin and gazing into the eyes of a boy, I did not have the readiness to hear my voice. I do not like discussing things only generated by ignorance, but sometimes the voice should raise it.

could go back.

violence is not just beating someone who is different from us, but also with everyday actions, inspired by boredom or dall'infantile desire to "be" while "being" a person is quite another thing. Italy

Poor, poor us, as we have fallen down.
