Point Fingers: Roma Children and Photo David

point fingers: Our purpose here is not to patronize, blame or point fingers, but rather, to inform and offer some reasons why this year, you may want to choose to celebrate it, too, according to Huffington Post Canada. Roma children stand behind a fence near the so called Sheffield Square in the town of Bystrany, Slovakia, Nov. 28, 2016. In what seems like an ever-expanding list of international days dedicated to noble causes, there's one date that usually slips past Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's calendar. Photo David W Cerny/Reuters The hesitation for sympathy, let alone empathy, for Roma don't find their roots in a vacuum. Racism towards this ethnic group has become so normalized that human rights discussions on human trafficking, police brutality and other issues affecting refugee populations rarely include the plight of Roma. For centuries, Roma have been divested of their means of livelihood. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
