You know you're starting to get old when PS3 is classed as retro.

Well done, mate. That interface looks really tidy.

Idrissa Gueye refuses to wear PSG shirt featuring rainbow symbol

How many Sikhs in the West (if goreh let us into football, the bhainchods) would have the balls to brazenly do this? Instead, you'd have them either completely disavow Sikhi, or scour Guru Granth Sahib to dig out tenuous and obscure references that endorse LGBT behaviour.

I've come across Sikhs like these quite a lot. Moderately educated but low emotional IQs, and really quite tone deaf to other people's intentions and emotions that aren't screamed in their faces to make it obvious. And it's mostly women, too. Notice how she cajoled herself into making the complaint at a later date. The ultimate sheep.

Now she will spend the rest of her life bitterly complaining about how racist the NHS is, when in fact these organisations are crippled with social and political directives that, ironically, cater to people like her. When you're unable to read the room and are unable to understand the way in which the current of the social narrative is flowing in the West, how do people like her get hired?

She claimed the comment was discriminatory because 'it compares her to an old Chinese man, and because there is a separate and distinct martial arts culture within her own Sikh tradition'.

2. I agree with much of what you say but Sikhs need to be careful that if all Sikhs start to avoid enrollment in Diaspora Police forces then there are larger communities that will likely control policing to the detriment of Sikhs. Ie greater Sikh and African Diaspora representation are needed in the Police. But I agree it's insulting when they set up their stalls at the Gurdwara. But being antagonistic against the Police purely for the sake of it will get us nowhere as a minority. 

We as a Panth can still criticise racist or anti-Sikh police officers or systemically racist police departments when need be. But having no Sikh or low levels of minority representation in local Police forces leads to the events like Ferguson in America where a majority black community was controlled and brutalised by mainly white police. Similarly when 80% of the Punjab-based recruits into the racist British Empire's Indian Army representation from Punjab were Muslims, much as it pains me to say it, had there been zero Sikhs with Army training the situation during the 1947 Pakistani Genocide of Sikhs could have been far worse.

Fair play, this is accurate as evidenced recently in the UK where Muslims seem to be flooding into law enforcement and related sectors, and that's never going to be a good thing for Sikhs no matter what the sell-outs in our community will claim. If they want to recruit, then fair enough, but we all know that when Sikhs gain these positions, in times of conflict they tend to defer to the authority paying their bills instead of siding with their own kind. That is a big problem, and I'm not sure there's a solution to it.

I could never deal with these Twitter "intellectuals." After the first couple of Tweets if whoever I'm tweeting is still chatting tatti, I'd just want to put his head through a wall. Life's too short, lol.

The obvious reason why American Sikhs are unable to respond as a community to various things is staring you right in the face: no population density, nothing resembling a "community," and in turn no power or influence.

But rather than accept the obvious answer, you want to take this opportunity to engage in some pointless chest-beating. Is there something in the water there that makes you people (who come from the same culture and same pinds) different?

 

Let me ask you something about UK Sikhs. Why can't you do anything about the sorry state of Sikhs in France? No, don't tell me that France is a different country. It is a hell of a lot easier to get from London to Paris than it is from my family's home to the various places mentioned in this thread. And while you are at it, why don't you put on your mask and cape and go sort out the Italians mistreating Sikh farm workers in Italy? I would have to travel twice as far to get to Milwaukee as you would to get to Rome. Sikhs in France and Italy and Germany are MUCH more a part of your community than Sikhs in New York or Milwaukee are a part of mine.

That's how ludicrous you guys sound when you talk about the US.

It's all a question of scale I guess. Most Europeans don't think like Americans in the way you're conveying hopping from one separate nation to the next like it's a road trip where people drive through states. Stuff like language, culture / local customs, etc., are all rather concrete and definite over here. I don't think you have to learn a completely new language when you get to Milwaukee in order to converse with the locals. Borders are a thing although I guess you Commie ret4rds are determined to eliminate them, lol.

By the way, I'm sorry I didn't recognize all of the UK Sikhs who live in "heavily mixed non-Sikh areas."

It must be incredibly isolating not living in Southall, but instead living a whopping 5 miles away from it!

That says a lot about you. More than you realise.

do you mean Punjabis who are sikhs or all sikhs irrespective of race?

I'm not sure it's an accurate idea, lol. I was a bit hyper. I think we notice the sell outs more keenly because when they turn coat, it seems to be really quite horrible to see one of your own almost relishing the betrayal. I don't think we're any more or less traitorous than other groups.

Sometimes I wonder if we have some disloyalty gene in our dna, because in multiple occasions, the ones who lead the killing of our people, are our own people rather than some outsiders. Brar, Badal, KPS Gill, and Beanta, should the exceptions, but considering how Hindus have propped of these people to be elites, it should be no surprise that even today many Sikhs are actively against our own people.

It comes from not having our own political and cultural sovereignty; having to appease a ruling class above us in the hierarchy on whom we're forced to rely on for our "bread" because we don't have the means to "feed" ourselves, whether that's in India or anywhere in the West. i was probably being hyperbolic about the "disloyal hoes" remark because there have been Sikhs in the past who've bucked that trend.

@MisterrSingh @dallysingh101 @proudkaur21 @proactive @Premi5 etc 

Also note the ones who are against the police/fbi are far-left sjw types 

I've developed a robust mistrust and dislike for law enforcement and the intelligence services, and you know I'm far removed from the leftist SJW movement. I'm not "defund the police" or "kill a pig" deranged, lol, but I realise these institutions are the jackboots of the State that will not think twice when putting down citizens who go against the accepted narrative. 

What these institutions are doing by setting up stalls at Sikh religious events is no different to what the much derided British did when they recruited Sikhs back in the Empire days. They're getting their brown sepoys to spy on other members of society where a white face is too easily spotted, and later fight their battles. Eventually, these brown faces will be forced to spy on their own when the next chapter of the narrative takes a turn. Apne who work for these folks will obviously have salaries, pensions, and families to think about when deciding whether to do their job and betray their own, or walk away and lose everything. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what will happen: see Punjab Police circa 1980s onwards. Sikhs are disloyal hoes. Don't put them in situations where they have to choose between self preservation and their own kind, because the winner will always be the former.

There is no "Sikh community" in the US. Most of the posters on Sikh Sangat are from the UK or Canada and are completely clueless about the US. They think that everyone grew up like them, living in a neighborhood with thousands of other Sikhs, with a different gurdwara every 500 feet.

Unless someone's from Southall, Birmingham, or some similarly defined Punjabi ghetto, there aren't "thousands of Sikhs" living next to each other anywhere. We just happen to not easily take shittar from whites, blacks, or whomever else when we live in heavily mixed non-Sikh areas.

Bill Gates Foundation paid the Guardian $3.5 million for a hit-piece article on breastfeeding after he launched his lab-made baby milk business.

JUNE 2020 - Bill Gates announced a startup called BIOMILQ. It’s backed by some of the richest investors in the world, like Zuckerburg. It raised $3.5 million in Series A funding from Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Breakthrough Energy Ventures is Bill Gates’ investment firm focused on climate change.

SEPTEMBER 2020 - Remember that $3.5 million in BIOMILQ money? Well, according to a receipt from the Gates Foundation, it paid The Guardian $3.5 million in September 2020. This was an initial offering from the Gates Foundation. Of course, right after on September 27, the Guardian published an article entitled “Antibodies in breast milk remain for 10 months after Covid infection – study.”

February 2022 - Customs and Border Patrol officers said that they inspected 17 separate shipments of formulas that came from Europe. Border patrol consulted with the FDA. Of course, the FDA said it had safety concerns about noncompliant baby formula. The same month, the FDA announces it is looking into bacterial contamination at the Abbott formula production plant in Michigan that's supposedly behind the baby formula shortage.

MAY 2022 - The Gates Foundation paid the Guardian again as part of annual funding. The very next day, The Guardian wasted no time and published a hit-piece on breastfeeding. It’s called “Turns out breastfeeding really does hurt - why does no one tell you?”

I found through personal experience, that people will fly the flag of punjabiyaat and the related vices which are associated with it (party people, strong and big physique etc.) as opposed to championing the amazing blessing by association punjabiyaat gets by way of Sikhi.  

Nothing wrong with having a strong and well-built physique. Not all of us have the physical build of money-lenders and merchants. You can't positively-discriminate certain physical characteristics out of a people who identify with a particular religion. If that's what a particular faction ACTUALLY desires, then come out and state it unequivocally, "We don't want this tribe in this religion."

If only this dude had the attitude towards sikhi rather than nonsense punjabi culture.....

Why? He'd only have some sect-obsessed loyalist claim he wasn't a "real" Sikh because he didn't belong to one jatha or another, lol.

To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace.

This quote is similar in spirit to the quote by Jiddu Krishnamurthi: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

Both quotes are basically suggesting that any individual who thrives in an environment that is, by all metrics, morally and ethically moribund, has lost their humanity whereby the suffering and injustice around them doesn't stir their conscience.

If the evil individuals in power are flocking to be your friends and hailing you as a notable personality, there's a high probability you share many of the same characteristics as these powerful people. 

We're talking about very high-level positions of power where these types of personalities are lauded in the world's media, not a hard-working businessman who's sacrificed his adult life for some middling success. Think people like Rupert Murdoch, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, etc., not some random Singh in Delhi manufacturing mechanical tractor parts. There's scales to this stuff.
