People from Levant are not always brown like us, they tend to have more of an olive complexion. Google Gad Saad. He is a Jew from the Lebanon.

That would be the Ashkenazi Jew. Could very well be possible but I wonder sometimes how much intermarriage took place.

The Nubians around the South Egypt/North Sudan do not look like the typical Sub Saharan African. That part of Africa along with the Somalis, Ethiopians and Eritreans have similar features compared to other Africans. But it would very well been in the realms of possibility that they would be part of the Roman Empire since Egypt became a Roman province.

Well I think the bone of contention for Taleb was the BBC website that showed a regular Roman British family being black. He took great offence to it because when we think African we think sub saharan Africa but the Roman provinces in Africa were around the Med. If you look at North Africa, these guys look Mediterranean rather than sub saharan. I guess he would take it more personally since Lebanese are decendants of Phoenicians who were sea farers who set up colonies on the North African coast that became the Carthaginian empire. Though he did go over the top with Beard. The likes of Taleb considers the Lebanese as the same as the Euro Mediterranean and he always uses the J2 gene to show that this is the case. He even.considers the Lebanese dialect of Arabic not to be Arabic at all but it's own language.

I've been reading some stuff from Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Lebanese)and he got into a bit of an altercation with Mary Beard (the historian ) regards to people from Africa in the Roman Empire. He also doesn't like Northern Europeans appropriating Greek culture as part of European culture . He sees the Mediterranean as one culture, interesting perspective.

We are quite reactive, whereas muslims are being proactive. This all feeds into masculinity. Our people have de-valued masculinity whereas muslims value masculinity. We live in a feminised society and Sikhs being part of society have embraces this. My kids have been doing martial arts for years and I notice the same observations as you do. At a particular age, during school age you notice more muslims. However, in my observations Sikh kids participation increases considerably around 16 and it is when they get picked on and have to make changes. Another observation is that it tends to be Sikh fathers that take their kids to martial arts lessons whereas Muslim mothers are far more supportive. Very infrequently do I see Sikh mothers take their kids to martial arts lessons unless it is for grading. I think the mistake our parents make is that they think taking their kids to martial arts deprives their kids of education. In fact martial arts is complement because it teaches kids discipline and this carries over to other areas like their school work.

The only thing you can do in that situation is run!

Jesus as we know of him is from the Eastern Mediterranean, like the Phoenicians /Canaanite. It would be highly unlikely he would be black.

Sikh kids tend to take up martial arts/self defence in their teens (15-16) but that is only after they get bullied and beaten up mainly by our mecca praying friends. That 16 year age seems to be the golden age, mainly because it is post GCSE. This is when kids are doing A-Levels in college and there tends to be less supervision. This is when some of our girls discover a certain level of freedom and become very promiscuous particularly when they get approached by the muslim alpha bad boys. Our Sikh boys are very beta but muslims do some of these boys a favour because they bring out the masculinity in them. I know many a Sikh boy that used get picked on. They started to work out and learn to box, kick box, grapple. In a few years, these muslim boys start to respect these Sikh boys. The Muslim kids are also led to their own devices considering muslim families tend to be larger. The difference seems to be the muslim kids have their older cousins and uncles around and they tend to teach their youngers. The problem with our boys is that there seems to be a lack of positive masculinity since our men have become very feminised.

The Afghanis do have that habit of subdividing retail stores into a cheap market. I tend to avoid Southall and have not been there for several years. Is it true that they are cleaning up Southall. I heard that those Somali Shops near the dominion (that parade of shops opposite the 15th century manor house ) are gone. My memory is a bit hazy.

Give your descendents a few thousand years and they will be if not sooner. With interacial mixing of Afro-Caribbean in the UK with indigenous white population, I suspect that they will be all white in a few generations. The only black people will be the ones from Africa. If Sikhs in the UK (considering that we are predominantly from Punjab ) married with British born Sikhs and not import spouses from Punjab, with our adaptation to the climate we could very well turn white.

It is no secret that the first modern humans (Homo Sapiens not neanderthals ) that arrived in what is Europe were dark-skinned with blue eyes. White people only appeared in Europe about 7000 years ago. That is overtime due to environmental factors people got lighter. White people in Australia will turn brown due to the climate over the next several thousand years.

Guru Pita told us to fight against tyranny, society seems to be moving towards it.

In Asian families, they want to break the extended family into nuclear families. In western families they want to breakdown the nuclear families. Society is built on the family unit, you break the family up you can control and manipulate as everyone becomes automatons. That seems to be the ultimate goal.

Decadence is the mainstream culture. Be a rebel and make a stand. Living with strong family values is the counterculture. Make that change in your own lives. Lead by example and others will follow.

I think that there should that for non Amritdhari, it really should be a registry marriage with an Ardas. Most non Amritdharis only pay lip service, they just want to dress up and look the part. They don't want to spend anymore time going through the Anand Karaj, the kirtan, the speech and shagan. It will speed up the time so they can get to the reception. But if Anand Karaj was restricted to Amritdharis the Gurdwarae will lose a large chunk of their revenue.

Is it possible to be without ego and not be a doormat? I sometimes see the relationship between ego and humility almost like a see saw or like dial on a car radio. There clearly must need to be a balance between the two. For a normal human being living amongst human nature, having too much humility and not enough ego can be problematic. The opposite end of that spectrum is also problematic. The ego is something that needs to be controlled like a dog on a leash. You sometime see ego and humility displayed in combat sports like MMA and boxing. There is always a display of ego between the fighters in the build up. After the fight, you see humility and respect between the fighters. It has it's uses but it is something that needs to be mastered. Unless you are a brahmgiani that rises above these things most humans are not capable in my view.

Trudeau won for two main factors. One is the fact is a pretty boy and that got the woman vote. The second is because of his father. Problem though is Trudeau is quite effiminate. Jagmeet Singh being an Amritdhari with his build and body frame comes across more masculine. Combined with his body language and posture he comes across as a classic Sikh male. He dresses well for a Canadian too. When he does enter the election and Trudeau comes face to face with him, you will need to notice how Trudeau will change is body language to come across as an Alpha male.

She looks a lot younger than him. She looks like a teenager. Though in order to further his political career he would need to get married because a future PM will need to look like a family man to appeal to the masses. It would be interesting to see an Amritdhari female as the first lady of a country, but is very unlikely it would happen. Even though Politics is said to be showbiz for ugly people ,there is a PR element to this. He understands that if he is to challenge pretty boy Trudeau, he needs out-glamour him because politics are largely popularity contests. Because the way the masses and the media work come election time is who has the prettier wife Trudeau or Singh?

A very restless population. These cyber coolies have been sold a dream and they realise that they have been lied to. If you are poor and you have been screwed over then you don't any better. If you are poor, get an improved standard of living and then you get pushed back into poverty again , this means trouble.

The irony is that if the poor got richer, they will behave in the same way. The country is rotten from top to bottom.

I always feel that India is a place where being a sociopath is the norm. It is a country which prides itself on it's cunning. The country is a dump because no one cares, there is no value of life and they can be very indifferent to a lot of the problems. There is no rule of law because everyone seems to be trying to cut corners all the time. This is the reason why it takes a big shittar or danda to keep everyone in line. It is the only thing these people seem to respond to.

It's what Donald Trump would define as a sh**h*le

The Canadian Sikh Sangat is largely a post-84 sangat. The UK Sikh Sangat is largely a post-partition /post WW2 sangat. This has an impact on their collective psyches.

Majority of Australia is a desert and therefore people live on the coasts. The majority of Canada live with 100 miles of the US border.
