Reija Härkönen: Jussi Halla-ahon toiminta valtiopäivillä

Posted on October 31, 2013 by Migrant Tales

Reija Härkönen

Kun Jussi Halla-aho eduskuntavaaleja edeltävänä päivänä 16.4.2011 vielä kerran kehotti maahanmuuttajavastaisia äänestäjiä lähtemään liikkeelle, hän kiitteli omaa porukkaa ja vapaaehtoisia ja lisäksi perussuomalaisten Helsingin piiriä ja Kontulan perussuomalaisia järjestelyistä. Hän myös muistutti:

”Haluan muistuttaa vielä kerran, että tuleva painoarvoni riippuu yksinomaan äänimäärästäni. Siksi on tähdellisen tärkeää, että kaikki kannattajani käyvät äänestämässä minua, vaikka olisivat kuinka varmoja siitä, että menen muutenkin läpi.

Muualla maassa kehotan äänestämään muita perussuomalaisia, jotta saamme mahdollisimman suuren ryhmän.”

Halla-aho antoi myös suosituksensa ehdokkaista, joita hommalaiset aatteen miehet muualla Suomessa voisivat äänestää. Ei siksi, että perussuomalainen puolue sinänsä menestyisi, vaan jotta tunnustukselliset maahanmuuttajavastaiset, ns. nuivat ehdokkaat saisivat taaksensa mahdollisimman suuren eduskuntaryhmän.

Samassa yhteydessä Halla-aho julkaisi vielä viimeisen kerran vaalinaluspuheensa. Puhe on tuomiopäivän tekstiä, mutta kun sitä lukee korostetun selkeästi artikuloiva, ujon oloinen mies, vaikutus on aatteen ulkopuoliseen kuuntelijaan lähinnä surkuhupaisa. Sekö lienee syy, vaiko muu peittely, kun tuo sivusto teksteineen ja videoineen on piilotettu eetteriin. Onneksi sieltä on sentään kaikki löydettävissä, jotta pääsemme tutkimaan, millaisin teesein Halla-aho lähti vaaleihin:

http://web.archive.org/web/20110519104548/http://halla-aho.com/index.php/etusivu/loppurutistus-osa-11-16-4-2011/

Halla-aho on otsikoinut puheensa ”Muutos on mahdollinen” ja aloittaa puheensa

”Olemme historiallisen mullistuksen edessä. 6.4.2011 aukeaa ikkuna muutokselle.

Ikkuna sulkeutuu varsinaisena vaalipäivänä 17.4. Se, millaisia ratkaisuja sinä teet tämän aikaikkunan sisällä, määrittelee Suomen suunnan vuosiksi eteenpäin.

Nämä ovat Suomen sodan jälkeisen historian tärkeimmät vaalit kahdestakin syystä. Ensinnäkin niissä otetaan kantaa poikkeuksellisen tärkeisiin kysymyksiin. Mikäli maahanmuuttopolitiikassa ei tapahdu jyrkkää muutosta nyt, yhteiskunnalliset ja kansantaloudelliset seuraukset tulevat olemaan massiivisia ja suurelta osin peruuttamattomia.

Tämä ei ole katteetonta pelottelua. Näissä vaaleissa otetaan kantaa siihen, onko Ruotsin, Ranskan, Britannian ja Saksan tie myös meidän tiemme. Sen ei tarvitse olla.”

Puheessa mainitaan lyhyesti myös EU, kehitysapu ja aseharrastajien asia, mutta pääteema on ”maahanmuuttokriittisyys”, pitkä ja uhrautuva työ, miestappiotkin, ja pelottelu sillä, että Suomi on tuhoon tuomittu, ellei ”muutosta” nyt tapahdu:

”Yksissäkään aiemmissa vaaleissa ei äänestäjällä ole ollut samanlaista mahdollisuutta ottaa kantaa, kuin nyt. Vuosia kestänyt maahanmuuttokriittinen projekti kulminoituu näihin vaaleihin ja se kulminoituu perussuomalaisten maahanmuuttokriittisiin ehdokkaisiin.

Tämä on tosiasia, jonka kaikki sisimmässään tietävät. Koko media ja kaikki muut puolueet ovat yksimielisenä laumana perussuomalaisten kimpussa siitä yksinkertaisesta syystä, että muutos maahanmuuttopolitiikassa voittaa tai häviää meidän mukanamme.

Meidän vaalimenestyksemme on se, mitä seurataan. Meidän vaalivoittomme on se, mitä pelätään.

Jos me voitamme nämä vaalit, muutosta ei voi pysäyttää. Jos me häviämme nämä vaalit, maahanmuuttokriittisyys katsotaan torjutuksi ja monikulttuurinen höyryjyrä jatkaa kulkuaan.”

Hommaforumilla Halla-aho kiteytti viime hetken tunnelmansa Tolkien-lainaukseen:

A great doom awaits you, either to rise above the height of all your fathers since the days of Elendil, or to fall into darkness with all that is left of your kin.

”Jytkyhän” sieltä sitten tuli. Hommaforumilla Halla-aho haaveili jo hiukan ministeripaikastakin, vaikkakin se samalla vähän pelotti:

”On selvää, että pelkkä näkyvyyteni ja huikea äänimääräni pakottavat antamaan minulle jonkin kohtuullisen näkyvän ja symbolisestikin merkittävän tehtävän, mutta oma vilpitön mielipiteeni on, että taka-alalla pysyttely tarjoaa minun kaltaiselleni kansanedustajalle tosiasiallisesti parhaat vaikutusmahdollisuudet. Näkyvimpiin tehtäviin kannattaa valita niitä, joilla on paras tekninen osaaminen, ja jotka eivät kiihota ihmisiä tavattomasti.”

Hallitukseen ei sitten kuitenkaan päästy, mutta hallintovaliokunnan puheenjohtajuus maistui makealta. Eduskunnan täysistunnosta Halla-aho viestitti 25.4.2011 Hommaforumille:

”Nämä ovat hienoja päiviä, ja nuivan kumouksen mittasuhteet tullaan ymmärtämään täysin vasta, kun niihin saadaan ajallista perspektiiviä. Kääntäen: suvaitsevaisto elää painajaista, jota se ei olisi osannut hetki sitten kuvitella.”

Blogissaan Halla-aho alkoi samana päivänä valmistaa kiihkoisaa kannattajajoukkoaan eduskuntatyöskentelyn lainalaisuuksiin ja siihen, että kovasti odotetut tulokset eivät ihan heti ole näkyvissä:

”Kansalaisvaikuttamisessa, kuten verkkokirjoittelussa, vallitsevat omat, usein hieman karnevalistiset lainalaisuutensa. Siinä pyritään “viihdyttämään” yleisöä ja herättämään huomiota. Poliittisessa päätöksenteossa, etenkin korkeimmalla tasolla eli hallituksessa ja eduskunnassa, tämä ei välttämättä ole tehokkain tapa. Vaikuttaminen edellyttää suhteiden ylläpitoa etenkin virkakuntaan ja muihin poliitikkoihin, ja päätöksenteko tapahtuu suurelta osin kulisseissa, kahvipöydissä ja kuluaareissa. Poliittinen päätöksenteko ei ole viihteellistä eikä läpinäkyvää, ja tässä suhteessa lusikka on otettava kauniiseen käteen. Politiikassa asioita edistetään hivuttamalla, ei räjäyttämällä.”

”Te olette antaneet meille luottamuksenne vaaleissa. Seuraavan kerran luottamusta mitataan seuraavissa vaaleissa. Siihen asti pyydän teitä luottamaan siihen, että teemme parhaamme, vaikka olisimme aiempaa vähemmän julkisuudessa ja riippumatta siitä, mitä media tekemisistämme raportoisi. Arvioikaa aikaansaannoksiamme neljän vuoden kuluttua, älkää reaaliaikaisesti.”

Tällainen kulisseihin vetäytyminen ei kaikkia miellyttänyt ja Halla-aho joutuikin puolustamaan strategiaansa:

”Kun sanon, että on toimittava “talon tavalla”, en tarkoita periaatteilla huoraamista vaan ainoastaan metodipuolta. Useimmat varmaan tämän ymmärsivätkin.”

”Kompromissit ovat politiikassa väistämättömiä. Kuvitellaanpa tilanne, jossa meille luvataan perheenyhdistämisen lopettaminen, jos me suostumme olemaan vaalikauden ajan kajoamatta pakkoruotsiin.

Mitä pitäisi tehdä? Mikä olisi takinkääntöä ja äänestäjien pettämistä?

Kumpi ylipäänsä on tärkeintä: nuivien edustajien sädekehän ja integriteetin varjeleminen vai se, että nuiva asia etenee päätöksenteossa? ”

Perheenyhdistäminen on Halla-ahon mielestä maahanmuuttopolitiikkamme pahin ongelma. Se kun tarkoittaa sitä, että maahan tulee naisia ja lapsia, jotka taas synnyttävät lisää miehiä ja naisia ja lapsia. Eihän siinä tietysti muuten mitään olisi, onhan Halla-aholla itselläänkin jo neljä lasta, mutta kun nämä ”muut” lapset tarkoittaisivat Suomen Sisunkin kammoksumaa ”kansojen luonnotonta sekoittamista” ja ”Ruotsin, Ranskan, Saksan ja Britannian tietä”.

Läheteltyään tankkeja kaduille Kreikassa ja saatuaan vähäksi aikaa potkut eduskuntaryhmästä ja menetettyään hallintovaliokunnan puheenjohtajuuden kesällä 2012 Halla-aho rauhoitteli tukijoukkojaan Hommaforumilla:

”Lupaus “tyylin muuttumisesta” tarkoittaa, että keskityn olemaan antamatta keskustelun toiselle osapuolelle “helppoja”.”

Halla-aho onkin sitten keskittynyt, jopa siihen malliin, että aina niin terävä Jörn Donnerkin on mennyt halpaan ja pitää perussuomalaista puoluetta rauhoittuneena. Kun Hirvisaarikin potkaistiin Muutos 2011-puolueeseen tuomasta persunuivan joukon tarkoitusperiä liian selkeästi esille ja Halla-aho jatkaa ”muutosta” kulisseissa, on syytä tarkastella, mitä Halla-aho on toistaiseksi puuhaillut Suomen parlamentissa:

Lakialoitteet

  • Laki rikoslain 17 luvun muuttamisesta (laki uskonrauhan rikkomisesta) 20.9.2013

  • Uskontojen arvostelun kansainvälinen kriminalisointi 29.11.2012
  • Pakolaisaseman ja toissijaisen suojeluaseman lakkauttaminen 22.8.2012

Aselakeja ”nuivat” pyrkivät muuttamaan siksi, että ns. ulkoiselta uhalta varautumisen vuoksi jokainen koti on syytä aseistaa ja kodeissa olisi myös oltava järeämmät aseet, kuin pelkät tarkkuuspistoolit tai ilmakiväärit.

Aseiden ja aseluvan saannin helpottaminen on yksi Halla-ahon kannattajien tärkeimmiksi katsomista asioista. Heti eduskuntatyöskentelyn aloitettuaan Halla-aho suoritti myös ampuma-asekouluttajan kurssin ja piti tarkkaan huolta siitä, että tieto saavutetusta pätevyydestä tavoitti myös median ja Hommaforumin.

Halla-ahon Hommaforumilla esittämä pyrkimys tulla sutkiksi poliitikoksi: ”Jos oppositiosta käsin haluaa oikeasti vaikuttaa johonkin, on pystyttävä vaikuttamaan hallituspuolueiden edustajiin, ja voidakseen tehdä sen on pyrittävä olemaan mukava ja maltillinen” on ehkä jo vähän onnistunutkin.

Vai liekö sitten vain miesten tyypillistä ”täytyyhän pojilla pyssyt olla”-mentaliteettia se, kun aselakiehdotuksia käsiteltäessä Kari Rajamäkikin totesi, että ”nämähän ovat ihan järkeviä ehdotuksia”.

Kaiken kaikkiaan Halla-aho on siis toiminut juuri siinä tehtävässä, mihin hänet on perussuomalaisiin valittu: pakolaisten aseman heikentäjänä, vähemmistöjen aseman heikentäjänä ja aselakien helpottajana. Lisäksi hän pyrkii muuttamaan lakia siten, että pakolaisten ja muslimimaahanmuuttajien parjaaminen helpottuisi, eikä enää tulisi tuomioita kiihottamisesta kansanryhmää vastaan.

Tästä työstä me maksamme Jussi Halla-aholle ja monelle muulle perussuomalaiselle kansanedustajan palkkaa. Nämä edustajat ovat myös – niin surullista kuin se onkin – kansamme edustajia maailmalla.

Are you a perpetrator or victim of white Finnish privilege?

Posted on October 31, 2013 by Migrant Tales

One matter about intolerance is that it is universal. The social ill can manifest itself in different ways by speaking different languages and historical context but don’t be fooled by these deceptions: Intolerance is the same ogre. 

White privilege is one of the many faces of racism and means automatic access or exclusion to the opportunities, social, political and economic capital a society offers due to your ethnic background.

Tim Wise, one of the most prominent anti-racist writers and speakers in the United States, defines white privilege as “any advantage, opportunity, benefit, head start, or general protection from negative societal mistreatment, which persons deemed white will typically enjoy, but which others will generally not enjoy.”

A good example of white Finnish privilege exposed in a recent YLE television program by Sam Kingsley, where an undercover group comprising of a Finn, Russian and Somali, attempted to see if they would be treated differently when applying for a job, seeking an apartment, asking complete strangers for help, and getting access to a night club.

If white privilege in the United States has an aim, so does white Finnish privilege.

How did white Finnish privilege ever come to these shores? One of its many roots is the colonial period, when European powers concocted excuses to pillage and exclude other groups in their colonial empires that weren’t white. These pernicious systems, which exist in Europe today, gave the colonial powers a moral pretext to not only commit genocide but ensure that the spoils went to them.

Click here if you want to read more about the roots or our racism in Finland and Europe.

One of the reasons why Are you a target of racism in Finland became such a successful posting in 2007 is because it exposed how racism would work in this society at a time when it was  still strongly denied.

An article on BuzzFeed Community highlights, 17 deplorable examples of white privilege, not only sheds light on how it occurs in the United States but gives us the opportunity to create a “white Finnish privilege meter” that will help you know if you are the perpetrator or victim. Take the test blow and answer yes or no.

  1. Because of white privilege, you’ll never have to worry about becoming the victim of law enforcement officers (US). One good example of this is the recent debate about ethnic profiling by the police (in Finland).  
  2. images (5)
  3. Because of white privilege, you’ll never have to inform your children of the harsh realities of systemic racism. True. Since you won’t have to inform your children in Finland about racism, they’ll grow up playing down or denying the existence of racism in Finland. Well, almost…

3. White privilege means you can be articulate and well spoken without people being “surprised.” This means in a Finnish context that you speak the language like a native but still get asked: ”Where are you from” or “where did you learn to speak our language so well?” 

images (5)

enhanced-buzz-17808-1382919326-3

4. Because of white privilege, you’ll never know what it’s like to have the following statistic looming over your head. In the Finnish context it means ethnic profiling and being victimized and labelled a rapist, terrorist and common thief. Ask Finland’s Romany minority if in doubt how this works so efficiently and systematically. images (5)

5. White privilege allows you to speak on any particular subject without being the sole representative for your entire race. Here’s a Finnish version of the latter: Mohammed, you’re a refugee. Is there racism in this country? 

images (5)

6. White privilege means no one questions why you got that really great job, it’s assumed you were just highly qualified. In Finland some may comment: You’re an exception or you got where you did because of you’re foreigner and therefore have certain privileges. 

images (5)

7. White privilege means not having to worry about your hair, skin color, or cultural accessories as the reason you didn’t get a job. Does this need any explanation? images (5)

8. White privilege means you don’t have to worry about being monitored in a store just because the hue of your skin is a bit darker than most. A common complaint by some people who aren’t white is that it’s played down in Finland. White people tell non-whites that racism is a figment of their imagination.

 images (5)

9. Having white privilege means people will never label you a terrorist. Some Perussuomalaiset MPs commonly victimize and label certain ethnic groups as rapists, criminals, social bums and terrorists.  

images (5)

PerusS-121-1

10. White privilege means not being affected by negative stereotypes that have been perpetuated and ingrained so much into American society that people believe them to be fact. In the past years, how many negative stereotypes have been perpetuated and spread in Finnish society about immigrants, and visible minorities? So many that it helped an anti-EU and anti-immigrant party, the Perussuomalaiset, win 39 seats in parliament from 5 in the previous election.  

images (5)

11. White privilege means you never have to explain why cultural appropriation is a bad thing. This picture below says it all.

Aake Kalliala and Pirkka-Pekka Petelius reinforcing stereotypes and racism of the Roma in Finland.

12. If you benefit from white privilege, you’ll never be told to “get over slavery.” In Finland you’ll never be told to “get over racism.”  

images (5)

13. Benefitting from white privilege means you can walk the Earth unaware of your color. In Finland it means being in a colorblind bubble that enable you to deny that ethnic background does play a role in discrimination.

If you answered YES to any two, the chances are that you are a perpetrator or victim of white Finnish privilege in this country. If you answered YES to three or more, you are definitely a perpetrator or victim of white Finnish privilege.

A2 Islam debate: “We’re a very tolerant society but…”

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Migrant Tales

Two matters bothered me the most about the A2 Islam debate Tuesday night: how the cards were deliberately stacked against cultural diversity, and how Perussuomalaiset (PS) MP Olli Immonen and PS Espoo city councilman Simon Elo did their utmost to spread fear-mongering of Muslims. 

Kuvankaappaus 2013-10-29 kello 13.38.04

You can watch the full debate here until the end of November.

Wille Rydman, former chairman of the Youth League of the National Coalition Party, showed as well that he’s still pretty much in the dark about cultural diversity.

Rydman, who has been christened by some as the Halla-aho of the Naitonal Coalition Party, tried to tell the audience that the best way to adapt to Finland is to become culturally invisible. Who you were and are isn’t important. Therefore, throw away your identity and lets forget all this multicultural nonsense.

Just like far-right anti-immigration politicians in Finland and in Europe, Rydman criticized immigration policy as the culprit.

It there was something positive about the debate, it was Abdirahim Hussein, Mohammad Azizi, Sahra Ali and Seida Sohrabi, who held their own and didn’t allow Immonen and Elo to steal the show.

While it’s a positive matter that we can debate about religions like Islam on a television program, it revealed our deep-rooted prejudices of Muslims and of other minorities living in this country.

The program was heavily into underscoring problems instead of finding solutions and ways to further acceptance and respect in our ever-growing culturally diverse society.

The A2 Islam debate revealed:

  • That we still don’t understand Muslims never mind cultural diversity
  • We still see immigrants, especially Muslims, as a threat
  • We expect Muslims to pretty much assimilate (one-way adaption)
  • The program used maassa maan tavalla, or in Rome do as the Romans do saying, which could be summed up in the cartoon below:
  • 220px-svvalues_narrowweb_300x3080

About A2’s debate on Islam tonight…

Posted on October 29, 2013 by Migrant Tales

The A2 islam-ilta television debate Tuesday will reveal once again white Finnish ethnocentrism, how poorly we know our laws and, what’s important, how poorly we accept people who are different from us. Is the Finnish media giving once again racists inflated respectability and importance?

Will the A2 debate improve or undermine the situation of Muslims in Finland?

How many immigrants, or Finnish Muslims, won’t get hired tomorrow because of the program? How many will be attacked physically and psychologically? How many viewers’ Islamophobia and bravado will the program reinforce? How much self-esteem will it chip away from a child or adolescent who goes to school tomorrow and gets bullied because of his or her ethnic or religious background?

Kuvankaappaus 2013-10-29 kello 13.38.04

Why should anyone justify his or her religion and right to live in Finland? Why should we give a forum to those who demand such justifications? It’s absurd.

Would we want to have a debate on television why women should go back to the kitchen and serve men?

What can you expect from YLE if the nature of the beast is what it is? How does Interior Minister Päivi Räsänen give a sense of security to minorities in Finland when she openly victimizes and labels non-Christians, plays down ethnic profiling by the police, considers homosexuality to be an illness and drags her feet on family reunification?

Sometimes you wonder about Räsänen’s and that of other Finns’ statements. But mark my words, it’s the face of intolerance staring right back at us loud and clear.

Our problem is acknowledge it as such.

 

 

Finland’s interior minister only likes Christian refugees

Posted on October 29, 2013 by Migrant Tales

Finland’s interior minister, Päivi Räsänen, has raised eyebrows again in Finland with her conservative religious views about the type of refugees she thinks would best adapt to Finland. 

Kuvankaappaus 2013-10-29 kello 2.23.51

 

Read full story here.

Räsänen was quoted as saying on Joensuu-based Karjalainen that Finland should take Christian and Vietnamese refugees because their work ethic is closest to the Nordic.

This is not the first time that the Christian Democrat interior minister has expressed similar views about the types of refugees Finland should accept.

In June 2011, she wrote in a blog entry on Uusi Suomi: Our country’s culture, values and morals have been built around Christian ethics and we must not abandon them starting from our homes, day care centers and when bringing up children.”

The best indicator that Räsänen is a liability to immigrants and visible minorities is how she plays down ethnic profiling by the police, far-right violence and doesn’t think highly of the Romany minority. She is also a staunch homophobic. In a television debate in October 2010, she defined homosexuality as a sin, causing an exodus of thousands of people to abandon the Lutheran Church.

Amnesty International has petitioned the interior minister to halt the detention of refugee minors.

Writes Zuzeeko Tegha Abeng: “According to Amnesty International, children should be in day care centres, schools or skateparks – not in police detention. Finland detains thousands of people yearly, including people who have fled persecution, war or poverty. They are held in prison-like conditions, although guilty of no crime.”

With people like Räsänen in power, it’s clear that the rights of immigrants and visible minorities in Finland will not improve but get worse.

 

Headlines that raise questions and reveal a lot about our attitudes of other cultures

Posted on October 28, 2013 by Migrant Tales

If one wants to start a humorous blog in Finland, just check out the headlines that dailies use sometimes to write about immigrants and refugees. True, some of them aren’t funny at all because they are hostile and ostracize specific groups.

Kuvankaappaus 2013-10-28 kello 8.12.22

 

 

Read full story here.

Here’s one headline I read on Monday’s Helsingin Sanomat: ”[Syrian] Refugees [that will move to Finland] are warned about the Finns’ use of alcohol.”

Fair enough, but the following sentence in the lead surprised me the most: “Finland has started to familiarize itself more than ever before about quota refugees [that move here].”

Hasn’t this been done before? Does this mean that Finland is now starting to familiarize itself with those quote refugees that move here? Strange statement, no?

While it is a positive matter that values such as gender and social equality are taught to newcomers and that they play an important role in our society, are these refugees taught that Finland respects cultural diversity? Are they told about the important role that mutual acceptance and respect play in our society?

Do the teachers speak of our ever-growing cultural diversity or is the Finland they teach them only white?

One matter bothered me about the article and reinforced my worst suspicions when the teacher assumed that the people didn’t know how to use a toilet bowl.

Possibly the authorities organizing these types of courses could to a little bit of homework to familiarize themselves with the group they are teaching. 

Instead of speaking of alcohol usage, Angry birds, rye bread and how Finns like silence, which are important, can one generalize about a culture in that way?When I speak to immigrants about Finland and Finns I use the word some Finns as opposed to everyone.

Did the orienteering course about Finland tell the refugees about the rise of xenophobia in this country and the role that the Perussuomalaiset (PS) party has had in strengthening prejudices and racism especially against Muslims?

Migrant Tales wishes these refugees the best of success and happiness in their new home country.

 

 

Take two of Magneettimedia’s anti-Semitic campaign in Finland

Posted on October 27, 2013 by Migrant Tales

After being fined 45,000 euros Monday by a Finnish court for ethnic agitation by publishing the anti-Semitic writings of Ted Pike, David Duke and others on Magneettimedia, a publication that advertises J. Kärkkäinen’s department store products, a new story appeared in the latest issue criticizing Zionism and the court sentence as “juridical murder” and “liquidating freedom of speech.” 

That’s not all in the bizarre Magnettimedia anti-Semitic crusade. Helsingin Sanomat, revealed Saturday the publication’s relationship with Arto Merisalo, the former Nova Group president sentenced in 2012 to prison for numerous bribery and financial graft charges. Both were planning to launch a free newspaper at the end of the year.

Kuvankaappaus 2013-10-27 kello 11.18.32

Read full story here.

According to Merisalo, the new newspaper has no relationship with Magneettimedia.

“It will be more in style of free city newspapers like Tamperelainen or Turkulainen,” he was quoted as saying on Helsingin Sanomat.

Even if Merisalo says that the new complimentary newspaper will be “clearly a business venture,” he didn’t reveal what kinds of stories it will publish.

Just because it will be a business venture is no assurance that it won’t publish anti-Semitic writings. Free newspapers like Helsingin Uutiset write anti-immigrant stories that normally wouldn’t get published in the national media.

Taking into account Magneettimedia’s recent article about Zionism, Kärkkäinen’s anger over the ethnic agitation sentence, and the department store owner’s business relationship with Merisalo, it’s clear that this won’t be the last we’ll read from them.

Red herrings, code words that help sanitize and make more acceptable our intolerance

Posted on October 26, 2013 by Migrant Tales

Even if I have written for years about Finland’s anti-immigration groups like the Perussuomalaiset (PS), you have to learn to detect the red herrings in order to understand their real views on the topic. What you may uncover behind these red herrings is far scarier than ever imagined. 

A red herring is “something intended to divert attention from the real problem or matter at hand; a misleading clue.”

It’s not easy to figure out what politicians think on a certain issues, especially if it has to do with a hot topic like immigration.

Why is it so difficult to get a plain honest answer? Because those that spread intolerance know that it’s morally wrong and therefore sanitize their views with red herrings and code words.

Any sensible person understands – or should know – that intolerance is morally objectionable and wrong. If it weren’t, why do so many anti-immigration groups use red herrings and code words to hide their real views?

If you asked PS MPs like Jussi Halla-aho, or why not James Hirvisaari of Muutos 2011 as well, what their anti-immigration views are, they’d probably reply that they aren’t against immigration. What they are really saying is that they don’t object to foreigners as long as they’re white Europeans, Christians, conservative and heterosexuals.

The lie exposed above is that if their criteria were used to accept immigrants in Finland, nobody – or very few – would move to this country. Thus their real aim, which is to keep Finland immigrant population to a minimum, would be accomplished.

It would be wrong to claim that the PS and Muutos 2011 are the only anti-immigration parties in Finland. There are others. Check out Wille Rydman’s and Susanna Koski’s vies of the Youth League of the National Coalition Party.

Another good example is Social Democratic Party head Jutta Urpilainen’s infamous maassa maan tavalla statement in 2011, which means in Rome do as the Romans do. What Urpilainen suggested is that this is my country, not yours. In order for it to be yours you must be like me.

Irrespective if a politicians or supporter belongs to the Left Alliance, neo-Nazi Kansallinen Vastarinta or anything in between these two extremes, they are all united by one factor that is rarely if ever mentioned by the Finnish media: What are their real views of people who are different from them? Are they for or against greater cultural diversity?

Some common red herrings used constantly by anti-immigration and anti-cultural diversity politicians include:

  • This group is so different from us that they’ll never adapt to our society. (What they are really saying is that since they are so maladapted in their opinion they must not be allowed to live or move here).
  • Immigrants don’t want to learn Finnish and therefore don’t want to adapt. (The truth is that it’s very difficult to meet Finns and becoming their friends. If you disagree, ask another Finn).
  • I’m not against immigration. (Right. All I want are white brain surgeons to move to this country. We don’t need any immigrants).
  • If we bring the right type of immigrants, we won’t be required to change. (Immigrants should be judged by the skills they bring to the country not by their ethnic and religious backgrounds).
  • I’m not allowed to express my opinions freely about Muslims and immigrants. (Google the word “Eurabia” or “Immigrant threat” and see if this is true).
  • There’s no racism in Finland. (Right, a white person speaking for a black person is like a man speaking for women and claiming that there is gender equality).

So what’s the solution?

Recognize the red herrings and code words so you can tackle the real issues facing our ever-growing culturally diverse society.

Do it relentlessly.

The Roma blonde girl in Greece and the shadow of intolerance

Posted on October 25, 2013 by Migrant Tales

When I first read about Maria, the blonde girl that was discovered in Greece belonging to an unrelated Roma couple, a number of disturbing questions arose. One of these was an obvious one: Why so much interest by the media?

It would take a while for the red herring to be exposed. It eventually became clear for all of us to see: We don’t really care about the plight, poverty and the least about Roma children except if they’re white.

Kuvankaappaus 2013-10-25 kello 9.45.50

A comprehensive article on Maria and anti-Roma sentiment in Europe. Read full story here.

If anything, the incident is not only a wake-up call to our intolerance, but another reminder how little we have done to come to terms with our racism and history.

Racism is a social ill and it functions in a pathological manner. It has a Dracula effect that makes us sicker as it is passed from one generation to the next with the help of denial.

If we were serious about challenging this foe, we would have beaten it, or at least put it on the defensive, a long time ago.

The question we should be asking, then, is why we haven’t yet struck a stake through the heart of such a social ill?

And why couldn’t we? We have made tremendous scientific breakthroughs in many fields but in one, like racism, where we are still anchored in a time warp immobile.

The case of the girl in Greece not only exposes deep anti-Roma issue in Europe, but everything that is wrong with us. In the little girl you will find the shadow of European colonialism and megalomanic greed that gave birth to the slave trade in the sixteenth century all the way to the rise of fascism and Stalin’s purges in the 1930s in which millions perished.   

It’s nothing more than the same ogre mocking at us.

Dana: Why doesn’t President Sauli Niinistö care about immigrants? What’s his stance on racism?

Posted on October 23, 2013 by Migrant Tales

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Finland is a small country but a very proud one about its political and legal system. Some Finns believe they are, however, so different from other people on this planet and they can’t explain why.

For example…in Finland the law functions like magic; they believe that the law is so comprehensive that no-one in this country can behave in a racist manner and make the same mistake over and over again.

You can ask questions about the political and legal system but no-one will answer your questions…the Finnish system is supposed to respect human rights and give you a lot of freedom but still there’s a reject stamp on each question you ask, especially if it’s about family reunification.

This blog entry is about Sauli Niinistö, the President of Finalnd.

I have never seen him once organize a seminar or meeting with our immigrant community. Have you?

Why hasn’t he??? Is there a Finn that can answer this question? What about a foreigner?

What does Niinistö think about immigrants, refugees, or about me as a foreigner who lives here?

Who knows? Come on! Hands up! Speak up! Why doesn’t anyone ask this question to Niinistö: “Why don’t you speak up and defend our ever-growing culturally diverse society? Why haven’t you shown any interest in us, immigrants and refugees alike?

IS IT FEAR MR PRESIDENT???

Or is it because we are still such a small community that you still haven’t noticed that we’re here?

Small in size maybe but in which respect? In values, in will?

Do you have any news or information about the president’s new, even old thoughts about foreigners?

Can Niinistö understand my suffering – or aren’t I worthy of his attention?

He’s been president of Finland for some time. During his mandate he has hosted Independence Day celebrations at the Presidential Palace. He’s been seen dancing among supermen and superwomen on that day. Everyone has their eyes on him. The media watches him like white on rice but they don’t speak about anything else except how he’s dressed.

I believe the media in this country is materialistic because it is more interested in expensive clothes than in the suffering of others never mind growing social problems like poverty.

Niinistö went on official trips abroad, here and there; he spoke about different things but he NEVER EVER noticed our community, us foreigners, his neighbors who live in same country.

Tell me WHY??????

The rich people of the UAE are just like him. Since the Finnish governments needs money, they only respect rich foreigners from countries like the UAE.

No-one can call me a second-class citizen of this country. I am first-class and will always be no matter what anyone does.

In a nutshell, this is the course of humanity in Finland: Some treat me well while others look down on me.

Those that want to relegate me to the lower human leagues make my blood boil!
