Dennis Marlock - We have received numerous complaints about Mr. Marlock, some entitled "biggot with a badge". A 31 year veteran of the Milwaukee Police department with several websites and publications on Fraud with numerous racist references to Gypsies and the Romani people. We have asked him to replace the word Gypsy with Mexican or Negro in his information and would he still publish that? No response so far.
PLEASE write to the Chief of Police Edward Flynn at the Milwaukee PD: webhelp@milwaukee.gov Please sign our petition asking the police to not allow him to use the police department resources to harass the Romani people. SIGN NOW You can also file a citizen complaint here.
The Alien Stalker Ridiculous youtube page. This is more of these claims of GYPSY scams. They label anyone with dark skin (or even not dark skin) as Gypsy con artists. Some of these people call themselves Gypsies but in reality many are not. The most important thing to remember here is that if these scams were labeled "NEGRO" theft, or MEXICAN scams, it would not be allowed. We have received reports that this is Dennis Marlock's page. We have not proved that at this time. If anyone has any factual information, please report it.

Yelp We have had ongoing complaints against Yelp for not removing racist comments and reviews. We have set up accounts with some comments containing racist remarks against Hispanics and African Americans. They were swiftly removed. However, when we posted the same comments using Gypsies we get letters saying they carefully considered it but chose to keep the review intact.
EBay- We have a store on eBay that is meant to help guide people to accurate information and call out the fakes. eBay does not consider Gypsies a minority therefore they do not protect from false and damaging information or people using the culture or terms to sell their items. Clicking on the link will take you to an example of the types of sites we are constantly complaining to and about. Writing eBay will help, as if we have enough people complain, we can hopefully get the same kind of monitoring as the Native Americans and other cultures get.
KVET Country Radio station 98.1 in Austin Texas is currently running an
ad for Wheeler Coatings Asphalt Inc. This is a wholesaler that
supplies asphalt, sealer and other road-surfacing supplies to pavers. Radio show host on KVET was advertising
Wheeller coatings. After promoting the company, he then began to
attack Gypsies on the air. We have him saying "do not let those
Gypsies in town do your driveway! They water down their material, and
the first rain will wash it all off. They drive those fancy new trucks
and take advantage of everybody they deal with----you are better off to
let Wheeler take care of all your asphalt needs." A Wheeler employee
told us that this commercial had already been running for about 2
weeks. Romanichals in the central Texas area in fact purchase their
supplies from Wheeler --- evidently the company can't always tell who
is a "Gypsy," and is unaware that Romani Americans constitute an ethnic
minority recognized as such by the US Bureau of the Census and
protected from racial discrimination under Title VII of the 1968 Civil
Rights Act. KVET also apparently believes that the label "Gypsy"
refers to a way of life and not to an ethnic minority. Local
Romanichals are considering filing a class action suit.
