Varför finns det inte någon gata i Finland Som har fått namnet efter Rosa Emilia Clay (1875-1959)?
Här är en enkel fråga : Varför finns det inte någon gata i Finland som fått namnet Rosa Emilia Clay, den första afrikanska naturaliserade finnen 1899? Det finns ingen gata i Tammerfors som fått namnet efter henne. Rosa Emilia Clay bosatte sig i Tammerfors en kort tid före hon immigrerade till Förenta staterna 1904, även på Mustinlahti där hon var en förskolelärare fanns ingen gata som har fått namnet efter henne.
Borde vi inte sträva efter att få en gata i Finland namngiven efter Rosa Emilia Clay?

Miksei Suomessa ole katua nimeltä Rosa Emilia Clayn (1875-1959) kunniaksi?
Tässä yksinkertainen kysymys: Miksei Suomessa ole yhtään katua nimeltä Rosa Emilia Clayn kunniaksi? Clay oli ensimmäinen afrikkalainen, joka sai suomen kansalaisuuden vuonna 1899. Rosa Emilia Clayn katu ei löydy Tampereelta, jossa hän oleskeli vähän aika ennen kun muutti pysyvästi vuonna 1904 Yhdysvaltoihin eikä Mustinlahdessa, jossa hän oli kansakoulunopettajana.
Eikö olisi korkea aika että Suomessa olisi katu nimeltä Rosa Emilia Clay?
Rosa Emilia Clay.

Why isn’t there any street in Finland named after Rosa Emilia Clay (1875-1959)?
Here’s a straightforward question: Why isn’t there in Finland any street named after Rosa Emilia Clay, the first African naturalized Finn in 1899? There is no street in Tampere that carries her name, where she resided shortly after migrating to the United States in 1904, and in Mustinlahti, where she was an elementary school teacher in 1898.
Shouldn’t we strive to get a street in Finland named after Rosa Emilia Clay?
Rosa Emilia Clay.

The real victims of Glev Simanov’s videotapes are the minors he filmed and published without permission on social media
Remember the bus driver that videotaped only Somalis and accused them without any proof of bumming a ride? Remember when he published without permission his racist treatment of them on social media? Gleb Simanov got fired the same week but in August Onnibus, a bus company, hired him.
The whole incident got a lot of interest on social media. Even so, nothing was written about the pain and suffering of the victims. Two of them are cousins aged 13 and 15.
A woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity and who helped the teenagers “because their parents don’t speak Finnish well enough,” said that the two girls were deeply disturbed when they found out that a video of them was in MV-lehti, an online racist publication.
“They were anxious about what would happen to them at school and if they’d be [labeled and] bullied [by their classmates],” she said. “They couldn’t sleep and still have not recovered fully from what happened.”
The woman said that she got in touch with the bus company where Simanov used to work, and they apologized for what happened.
Gleb Simanonv got sacked by Nobina for videotaping and insulting minors. The videotapes appeared on social media and trash publications like MV-lehti.
“A week later we went to the police to press charges for publishing without permission a video of a minor,” she said. “The police treated us very well.”
Simanov blocked the woman from his Facebook page after she asked him why he had published the videos of the two teenagers.
“The girls have learned not to trust some adults,” she concluded. “They got to see what racism is like in Finland.”
