Join the black sheep association!
I just found an article about a poster the SVP (Swiss People's Party) uses for their election campaign. - See here that poster:
The SVP is a most powerful (about 22 percent), extreme right-wing party in Switzerland. - The poster has been distributed in a mass mailing to Swiss households, reproduced in newspapers and magazines and hung as huge billboards across the country. It means "Kick the black sheep out!" - whoever they are, immigrants, 'the others', the xenophobic enemy image of 'a clean country' nationalists with rude even violent paroles. - this poster could mean kick the immigrants out, & they really mean it. in Germany the very right-wing party in Germany NPD (Nationale Partei Deutschlands) in Hessen already used a copy of that poster - but at least the NPD in Germany doesn't have that much percent - in the former West Germany countries less than 5 percent, but in the 'New German' East countries (formerly communist regime DDR) like 'Sachsen' etc. between 7 and 9 percent, which is dangeriously high. So according to these numbers the most aggression crimes against immigrants & strangers are done in the East. - I once warned my black friend C. to visit the East. But 22 percent in the country of neutrality & peace, well maybe also the country of selfish ignorance & intolerance, the black heart of Europe - but well I don't want to exaggerate - there are those 78 other percents in Switzerland, there are demonstrations & campaign like the 'black sheep campaign' there are politicians like Micheline Calmy-Rey, the current president of Switzerland under a one-year rotation system. She said in an interview: �The poster is disgusting, unacceptable. It stigmatizes others and plays on the fear factor, and in that sense it�s dangerous. The campaign does not correspond to Switzerland�s multicultural openness to the world. And I am asking all Swiss who do not agree with its message to have the courage to speak out.� (source: NYT) Yes have the courage to speak out, to fight & resist those restrictive Nazi-spirit forces whereever they appear!
