Superstitions Divide Humanity Everywhere 26/10/2011

One of the most important supporters of universal caste system which divides humanity as Gypsies and non-Gypsies is the legends superstitiously. Each of these legends we see everywhere in which Gypsy peoples live are about different things. On the other hand, main similarity of these legends is that they legitimize prejudices targeting Gypsies.

An incident is generally explained in legends targeting Gypsies without showing any proof. It's common in these legends that ancestors of commentary Gypsies make a mistake. And because of the mistake all generations of Gypsy peoples are cursed according to the legends. Aside from the reality that no one could be blamed because of a mistake maden by their ancestors, these legends are comletely lie and unfounded. They are being used to strenghen prejudices targeting our people.

A legend told in India claims ancestors of Richi Gypsies ate an animal which was dedicated to a Hindu god. Because of this behaviour Richi Gypsies were cursed. A similar version of this legend tells that Jat Gypsies of Afghanistan ate haram ( forbidden foods according to islam religion). There are also some legends about Nyamakalaw Gypsies to eat forbidden foods according to local religion in Africa. Shiah Muslims of East Turkestan claims that ancestors of Abdal Gypsies ate rabbit which is a forbidden food according to Shiah İslam and cursed because of this behaviour. A legend which is common among Christian societies claims that Gypsies produced nails which were used to crucify Jesus. An other legend told in Islam countries blame Gypsies to be descendants of Cin and Gan who have incest relationship while Prophet Abraham were thrown into the fire by the king Nemrut.

Universality of legends targeting Gypsies is one of the most important proofs of existence of universal caste system dividing humanity as Gypsies and non-Gypsies. Non-Gypsies make up these legends to legitimize their negative and discriminative behaviours against Gypsies. These legends don't depend un any written resources. There is nothing about the claims related with prophet Abraham and Jesus in any written sources. Claims about eating of forbidden foods are directly related with paganic rituals of curse process. It's clearly unlogical to believe that anyone's eating forbidden foods could cause next generations to be cursed.

Gypsies have to show that these legends are fabrication. Humanity is a big family altough universal caste system divides it as Gypsies and non-Gypsies. The first step to break caste wall dividing humanity is to throw off the legends' mask.
