Lilly - Wannabe black girl

How do we stop Sikh youth from looking up to the black culture? 

For instance there is a girl called Lilly a punjabi girl on youtube. She promotes the whole black culture. Many punjabi women look up to her. She talks and act like a typical ghetto black girl. 

Looks like us Panjabis are struggling with an identity crisis. Many of the young punjabi boys look up to rap stars and dress like pure black people. 

Why are we not strong in our own identity and need to latch on to the black culture - Such as dress sennce, music, dread locks in hair. If it aint blacks then we latch on to the white culture. Such as going down the pub for a pint.

Lol you can't stop anybody from doing anything. Bhagat Kabir ji has said the following in rough english translation "I started searching for the devil but could not find anyone. When I searched inside me, realized, no one is more devilish then me." What I take from this line is that we should work on ourselves first before finding faults in others. Even the punjabi culture has its problems (alcoholism, casteism, sexism, any other type of -ism). Culture isn't the identity we should attach ourselves to as followers of this path. The only way to postively influence the youth is to not only promote sikhi vichaar but work with the youth to integrate sikhi at their level. Meaning finding ways that we can we relay the Guru's message from their perspective and not some perspective of hardliner imported Bhais who promote things like "become amrit shak or burn in hell" type of mentality. I am not saying becoming amrit shak is bad, I am saying the way that it is being "marketed" (through fear/guilt tactics) is not the most effective way for youth to fall in love with the Guru. There are many initiatives nowadays out there already reaching out and attracting younger sangat to Sikhi and I hope they continue to do so. What we, as average joes, can do is just continue to work on ourselves so that we can directly or indirectly set a postive example to the young bloods.  We can't force an ideology but only lead our lives by example. With the ongoing efforts and initiatives to promote sikhi, even if the youth give Sikhi just 1% importance in their respective lives, then we can be reassured that Sikhi will continue to flourish. I think each culture has its positives and negatives and we are blessed to be living in such multicultural countries that give us exposure to learn from different cultures, ideas, philosophies, and religions. Furthermore, I think the more Sikhi we integrate in our lives, the less the upholding of certain cultural characteristics will matter; especially the negative aspects. Bhul chuk maaf karni ji.

I will show you some examples of what I am referring to. 

Look at these punjabi wannabe hip hop raggamuffins. Its a sad state of affairs when Punjabis have lost their identity. This is the latest generation of Punjabis. What happened to the warrior lion Sikhs. And people with turbans are not off the hook. I have seen countless sikhs wearing beanies with shaved face looking like they are so rap singer. lolz

Amit I detect that you are also a raggamuffin? Do you dress like a hip hop thug and listen to rap songs with explicit lyrics?

As you have no intellectual arguement against it. The best you can come up with is 'delete post'

Looks Like i have touched onto a sensitive area with many young raggamuffins.

 

I'm going to school you for the last time:

the popular culture at the time, black, white or brown, is drawing the youth, because it is what they feel is real and honest, and how they feel.

Not just random bs.

The black culture isn't even black; it is something humans do, which makes them feel happy.

You are a racist, so delete this post, and while your at it, delete your entire account, and then your existence,

thank you, next. xx

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
