STUPID WHITE MEN

When there were no immigrants

they directed their aggression against their compatriots

who were Jews,

who had a different faith.

They were born in Germany.

They had the same language as other Germans.

They had no country other than Germany.

But they were killed in millions of their own countrymen.

When there were no immigrants

they directed their aggression against their compatriots

who was traveling people,

who had a different ethnicity.

They were born in Sweden.

They had the same religion as Swedes.

They had no other country than Sweden.

But they were isolated, castrated and harassed

in tens of thousands of their own countrymen.

When there were no immigrants

they directed their aggression against their compatriots

which were Roma,

who had a different ethnicity.

They were born in Romania.

They had the same religion as Romanians.

They had no other country than Romania.

But they were/are treated like animals and were killed

in hundreds of thousands of their own countrymen.

When there were no immigrants

they directed their aggression against their compatriots

who were black,

who had a different socio-economic status.

They were born in the United States.

They had the same religion as other Americans.

They had no other country than America.

But they exploited as slaves for years

and when they were not needed anymore, they were

killed in hundreds of thousands of their own countrymen.

But now there are immigrants

that they can direct their aggression towards.

They have another color.

A different race.

Another religion.

They come from a different country.

What will they do with them?

Scapegoats?

Or?

These stupid white men

always find scapegoats.

These stupid white men!
