"Sorry, I'm A Racist": Hate Speech from the Czech Republic

Filed under: Racism, Xenophobia

We've got racist hate speech par excellence coming out of this Central European republic.

Senator Liana Janackova from Ostrava (Northern Moravia, Czech Republic) is causing a ruckus with her openly anti-Roma (who we unfortunately still refer to as "Gypsy") sentiments, as filmmaker Zuzana Brejcha quotes:

"I don´t have space for them. I know it's unjust towards you, but I would just have to take dynamite and shoot them..."

"I don´t agree with any integration of the Gypsies in the district, sorry, I am a racist. We have chosen (the part of) Bedriska, so they will be there, from my point with a high fence, (under) electricity, I don't care..."


While she did offer her personal apologies to any offended Romany --
Janackova conceded, however, that she did say that she had no place to move Romanies so she would rather take dynamite and blow them away.

In Czech, here is the collection of articles here, from Romea.cz.

Disgusting.
