Malcolm X And The Sikhs Of Smethwick

[Ranjeet01]

What is this particular dynamic you speak of?

Well, for example the fact that different ethnic groups can get together to fight others.

Take Millwall as an example. They are based in Deptford, S.E. London which has a very highly black population (it was in the 1990s, not been there for almost 20 years and do not know if this is the case). But they have always been known as a racist club and even though there are black Millwall fans, they never galvanised together with their local whites.

However I know that Cass Penant headed up the West Ham firm and he was black.

As for these gurjrati women from wembley you praise, if you want to praise these indra ghandi types in your home that's your business.

Umm. Interesting, Hammertime.

Slightly interesting in the fact that you normally reserve all your hate towards Muslims but more interesting in the fact that a Sikh (i.e one who has been taken out of the darkness by our Guru) is swayed more by the fact that those great women of Wembley were HINDUS rather than the fact that they bravely persevered with their strike (on behalf of yours and my grandma) on the streets for 2 years. (for those of you who do not know: At that time, our mothers were paid less than white work colleagues in the factories......our mothers were legally treated worse in terms of breaks than their colleagues......Our mothers worked in the same sort of factories that the Gujarati ladies of north west london worked for. Those Hindu Gujarati ladies did something Sri Gobind Singh ji taught us to do. They said no. This is not right. They walked out on strike. The unions and the labour party at that time were even more racist against non-white people than the establishment so they didn't support those ladies. But, even without union support, those ladies continued to strike and picket the factory. A week went by. A month went by. And then more months. And then a year. These ladies still, without union or any support, continued with their picket because it was right. Another 6 months went by. By the 18th month of these women's struggle, the consciousness of the entire nation was woken up. By the 18th month, every right thinking individual in the country was in awe of the sacrifices of these women and by the 19th month media reports say that between 20,000 and 30,000 people were coming down to wembley every day to stand alongside those women in solidarity and fight the police that were inimidating them.)

So, I'm intrigued Hammertime, how does a 'Sikh' grow up to hate or dismiss such brave women just because they are 'Hindu' ???

The punjabis "Sikhs" that live in Smethwick are a strange bunch, generally not very intelligent backwards kind of people. They're parents were the same foundry/factory workers. A lot of the guys are alcoholics and druggies. Not the finest examples of UK Sikhs..
