The liquor stores have detrimental effect and they blame ethnic groups from the Asian communities opening these businesses in their communities. 

The types of Sikhs that get hit by the black communities tend to be recent migrants who open these businesses and live in these communities. 

Eventually when these migrants become more established they move out of these areas.

100% true. Instead of learning the value of the hard work they feel jealous and those shop owners who ignore and focus on the hard work with risking their lives, they move to the next level and vast majority of their kids end up getting good education. However, this is the same attitude comes from both black/whites. 

I also believe that the system is making them unable to stand on their feet.

So I've been lurking on the forum as a guest for a few weeks and I am absolutely appalled by the response of the far left to this issue.  I was actually meaning on starting a similar thread on this to

Because that's what other US Sikhs have reported. It's not hard to look through first-hand accounts. One of the Sikh elderly who got attacked described his attacker as 'kaala' and OFC some retarded li

The facts are the following pertaining to these particular incidents: 1. Sikh elders have been attacked by black criminals. 2. We, as a community, have a right to describe the racial and eth

There are a lot of African Americans that have resentment towards other ethnic groups if they have certain types of businesses in the neighbourhoods like liquor stores.

I have friends that lived in Flushing in Queens. Flushing is mainly a Chinese area, my friend would rather pay several hundred bucks on rent to live here than somewhere like Jamaica Heights.

What people also need to realise New York is effectively a minority - majority city. There are not many WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) living in New York.

The major white communities tend to be Jews, Italians and Irish.

Sikhs are predominantly in Queens and they are surrounded by mainly Hispanic, other Asians and blacks.

This reminds of this famous scene in Menace II Society 

Having visited America a couple of times, I would say the Hispanics are the most racist and rude. The blacks were the most friendly followed by the whites.

The Hispanics are a diverse group.

In Florida  (particularly South Florida), they are mainly Cuban.

In New York, they are mainly Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and Columbians and this varies depending in which borough you are in.

California and Texas, they are mainly Mexicans.

When I speak to my East Coast relatives, in their opinion the Hispanics are not bad bunch, quite family orientated but when they live with blacks, they pick up a lot of their mannerisms. 

I think it depends where in the US you go to.

When you mix with Americans and from different parts of the US, you come to realise the country is more like a continent. 

Even African Americans from different parts of the US are very different from each other.

What's strange is that I've met a few really black loathing people from the UK who do business in the US (around NY and Miami) and whatever experiences they have had seems to have changed them. Now they say they can't stand black people but African-Americans are okay. lol! 

Might watch that film again btw. Haven't seen it in many years.

I went to both Los Angeles and New York.

I found the Mexicans in LA and Puerto Ricans equally as rude. My wife has been to Miami and said the Cubans were similar.

They just seem to have a really bad attitude. Even a Malaysian Indian I worked with who frequently flew to New York said you don't want a Hispanic guard at Immigration when you land, they will give you a hard time.

New Yorkers generally are quite a rude bunch. And that is New Yorkers of all ethnic groups.

Californians I find a lot more relaxed and laid back (generalisation here) compared to New Yorkers.

But your experience could because you were in the big cities. In the smaller cities and towns people tend to be friendlier. 

I myself had a bad experience at JFK airport, one with an African American and one with an Italian American.

      All Gurdware should be like this

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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.

      Self care of hair

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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.

      Nidar Singh Nihang X The Ranveer show podcast

      By ipledgeblue · Posted

      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.

      Why are starched turbans hated?

      Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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?

      30th May over 6th June?

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
