They ain't fake or self haters, they are like why are you coming to our community and messing up it? Chaos and rioting,  they are just perpetuating bad energy. 

Do you know that Punjabi phrase, "Aakhan nal g'la karniya (Speaking with eyes)"? If you've been around decent, wise black folks you'll understand that they have a radar for detecting bull. They know when they're being made fools of, (or at least earlier generations did). When they see these white and Jewish BLM frauds speaking for supposed black causes by getting them riled up and turning them into targets, switched-on blacks communicate with their eyes with fellow minded people of their race to say, "Can you believe this 5h1t? This whole thing stinks." They know it but for some reason they don't speak up loudly against it. But they definitely know.

They do speak up its just not publicly available because they as is News etc want the narrative to be on BLM are right.

They have had worse treatment than dastaar-waley Singhs ?  
 

This ‘BLM’ is encouraging Blacks to feel like they are more important than other groups. 
 

do you agree with that?

like a previous post, the best way for them to achieve ‘equality’ is if they start to be competitive with the likes of Jews and Indians in professions and business 

You're right. How many people become successful singers or athletes? It's a miniscule amount compared to the number of medical, dentistry, optometry, IT, banking vacancies out there.

To get true respect you have to do well in professional fields not just the entertainment industry. Those fields I listed above are far more important to society than music and sports.

Being involved in music and sports gives them a lot of visibility and they're using it now.

It's not just the carribean black people, Africans like Anthony Joshua and John Boyega have been getting involved a lot. John Boyega in particular has been very vocal.

I have nothing against black people but having worked with quite a few I have seen that a lot are prone to playing the race card when it's not even there.

Having Black History Month will only cause resentment in other minority groups.

I understand its importance in America as black people suffered slavery in large numbers and have been living there for 400-500 years but why here in the UK?

Dave Chappelle did a stand-up routine on this phenomena (sort of) when he analysed the Jussie Smollet hoax attack. It's about how nearly every black person on the street (i.e. non-Hollywood types) knew almost immediately Jussie was lying, but they decided to close ranks. It's hilarious.

In that case half the world can have a history month based on their ancestry.

If the white media gives them one sure.

Another way of looking at this thread is to avoid 'media' as much as possible; I don't think I am getting anything positive/gained from thinking about BLM etc

It's been all over the TV and news this month.

South Asians are the biggest minority group in the UK but we get no such month. We generally just keep our heads down and get on with things. 

Look at the contributions we make to this country, especially Sikhs and Hindus. We are disproportionately represented in Medicine, Dentistry, Optometry, IT, corner shops. Professions that actually benefit society on a day to day basis, not just music and sports. 

Why do they always go on about having a black James Bond? Why never an Indian one?

We never go begging for quotas or complain that we are under represented in certain fields. Look at Lewis Hamilton complaining about the lack of black people involved in the Engineering aspect of Formula 1. What he fails to realise is that not many black people are interested in such a field to begin with, he just feels entitled that there should be black engineers in Formula One for some reason.

I wonder what goreh really think about things like this in the UK? Do black people help their cause by creating protests and riots or do people think twice about hiring them because they are prone to playing the race card?

Does playing the race card help? Should we be doing such things? I think we get just as much racism as black people if not more.

I think they have Sikh history month in Canada. 

I think black people fight back against racism infinitely more than 'asians' - especially African-Americans who've had a long hard journey that's still going on.
