Anyone find the media coverage hugely biased towards certain black people? 

I have always wondered why the mainstream white media of the USA and Britain. Gives great exposure to black sports athletes, black musicians ect, but lacks the same for brown athletes and any other races. It's almost likes black people are held on some kind of pedestal.

Many white and media types love to heap praise on black people in the media. Is it down to some kind of love affair with their African brothers? I personally feel it is more to do with their religion. Many blacks particulalry in the USA are loved by whites for one reason only. Their faith. If Kobe Bryant was not a staunch Catholic who did not attend church. Would he get the same kind of praise from the white dominated Christian media? Would he be backed even though there was some controversy over his past with the law. 

Blacks are generally accepted more then other races. Here in the UK and USA due to their faith. If they were not Christian and did not have English names. I wonder if the media would be so kind and full of praise for black media types of they were not of that faith.

I recall the boxer Anthony Joshua comming other much criticism and condemnation when he visited a mosque. The white British loved him. Untill they found out he may be into Islam. Then suddenly he was not as popular with media and general public as before and started getting criticised more. 

The media didn't like to admit it but they favour their own faith people over others.

Fact is British Asians and other ethnic groups will never be accepted more then blacks due to their faith being non Christian. 

 

 

Sorry, but this post makes no sense. I am guessing you are from the UK, so you don't fully grasp how popular basketball is in America and in many parts of the world. One could credibly argue that Kobe was the best basketball player ever (and an unbiased observer will have to concede that he is in the conversation).

Can you name any athlete of Asian descent who is one of the top ten athletes ever in one of the most popular worldwide sports?

Mr California sardar ji.  Or should I call you kobe da pyarar chela? 

There's plenty in cricket

Sachin tendulkar, virat kohli 

Milka Singh in athletics. 

Theres also the fact of many brown athletes who do not enter sports due to racism. Or why is there a lack of Asians in football in UK. Many are discouraged due to racism and stereo typing. 

Also kobe has rape charges against him that he settled with his millions. Yet chela like you only admire and worship him. 

Blacks are accepted by and large due to wearing the cross around their necks, having English names and having a similar white culture to the white man. Are the blackstars people you admire? Ie snoop dog, kanaye west?

but tbh there are not that many brown people in the media. the only one i see on daily mail is priyanka chopra. she's basically the image that media wants to force in everyone's faces, sexy brown woman married to a white boy. 

or theres jameela jamil   a ex muslims atheist, another attractive liberal brown woman who ticks all their boxes. 

pritty patel another one,their poster girl  married to a white man 

priyanka chopra is exotic brown girl married to white jewish lad .

Jameela is now apparaently batting for the otherside  so we have exotic brown girl lesbian

Prity Patel and Niki Haley are Political brown girl who are trators to their origins to get ahead.

basically trying to influence the future mothers of strong brown people to become neoliberal race traitors

funny most guys in the same age category look like they are expecting a food baby , what's their excuse ?

I'm not excusing those phatty bom-boms myself but it might be that they just devour what the aforementioned type of bibi (her indoors) puts in front of them, without making any request for some adaptation to the usual diet to compensate for changes in metabolism and energy expenditure that happens when you get older?

    • 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?
