Well my point was that we've got some of our own who are doing this in certain places, now we all know we aren't all ruthless hard-drug dealing criminals.

Not all black folk are murdering, drug dealers criminals either. There might be socio-economic reasons for why so many go down this route in any case. And systemic racism may well play a part in this (amongst other things).

I'm under no illusion, I know not all black people are angels, but at least try and understand the things that go on around us in an independent, realistic, truth seeking fashion. 

none of my views/opinions r somethin thts rehashed/regurgitated on purpose cuz my own experiences still feel bitter. they r based on real-life, wat the eyes have seen n ears have heard. if u still dnt lyk wat ur readin cuz u feel it aint the truth then thats ur problem bruv.

but yh agree wiv u tht of course not all black ppl r the same.

some do live n contribute within society lyk any otha community.

u have black muslim families who can be seen altogetha as one unit. sometimes its the dad wholl be pushin the baby in a pram. sometimes the dad will even carry the shopping if the couple have no car.

we knw there is good n bad in every community.

hope this clears any doubt/suspicion on where we stand wiv these folk.

nobody here said that all black people are engaged in crime, as far as i am aware.  its rather you that seem to keep saying that black people have some 'special reason' for committing crimes when they do.

also, you seen to identify with blacks to a very high degree. (not a criticism just an observation).  why? do you listen to rap and associate with a lot of ghetto blacks?

Surrey is a large sprawley metro area of almost half million people. To call it a hood is a joke. 

It is frankly quite a boring place, which might explain why a lot of people turned to drugs there. To get away from the hum drum of the monotamy. 

The drug trade took off there because of BC bud, a type of marijuana which became lucrative because of the strict drug laws in the US. 

That drug was smuggled across the US border. 

BC though very scenically beautiful does not have the opportunities like the other provinces have such as Alberta and Ontario. 

Our people there are not really outdoorsy people like you would think of people living there, they are far more materially minded and money orientated.

The main things our people do there is farming and trucking. 

Money hungry people - check.

Land to grow marijuana - check

Trucks to smuggle drugs across border - check.

It's just pure greed!

Well, I think you should read the thread a bit more carefully. There are a couple of people who've aired views barking up certain trees. 

I'm not saying black people have any 'special reasons', I'm was making the point (to those that seem to require it), that there are often socio-economic and historical factors behind certain behaviours. There is nothing 'special' about it. 

You can look look at how colonisation has affected other communities like Aboriginal tribes and native Americans too. Communities get beset with all manner of problems usually alcoholism, drugs and criminal issues that they never had previously, subsequent to their 'interactions' with certain other groups who've marginalised them and and attacked their social/political structures.

I don't associate with lots of 'ghetto blacks' I did however grow up in a very mixed area and have interacted with lots of different races, although I'm now living in a very brown area compared to other places I've lived in before. As for my musical tastes, they are very varied and include rap and lots of other forms. 

That all being said, apnay need to be infinitely more conscious and savvy of certain socio-politico factors and how they can potentially impact on our own community.

Come on, this thing goes much wider than just 'green' Ranjeet.

You probably need to clarify more.

If you mean about the use of marijuana 

I thought you were implying that it was the ease of growing green that was central to this phenomena when you said:

Thing is, those guys are also dealing with coke, smack and meth.

I see what you mean:

Probably a combination of factors.

The plant is very easy to grow.

The more liberal laws of Canada in regards to marijuana. 

The huge market in the US.

The facilities already available amongst our people, such as the land/greenhouse to grow the stuff and the trucks to provide the logistics.

The fact that marijuana has been legalised in a lot of the US states has meant that revenues are probably  down for BC Bud. That is because marijuana can be grown in those US states.

There has probably been a shift into other drugs to make up the shortfall. 

Marijuana is also seen as a gateway drug which probably creates opportunities with coke, meth etc.

I believe that is what happened for Mexican smugglers. 

I am no expert on drugs as a good Sikh I refrain myself from even thinking about it.

However, it is interesting from a business perspective. Because in the end of the day it is a business,  it's just one that destroys peoples lives.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
