Sikhs are more likely to be on the receiving end because of their distinct markings such as a turban. Sikh elderly are known to carry money with them (cash) and are seen as richer compared to other ethnicities. The news reports said the black dudes were seen at the gurudwara. 

Was there more than one 'black dude'? 

Sister, you could be right, but it's hard to see how you could know such stuff (about how Sikhs are perceived in the US) sitting in 'grim up north land'?

Blacks look down on nerdy blacks. I had a black girl friend who was into anime and nerdy things and talked more posh and she said the other black girls looked down on her and wouldn't include her into their group. Blacks PRIORITISE criminal/ghetto behaviour. 

I think those from communities that experienced long term slavery or recent wars definitely frequently prioritise physical prowess than other black communities. It probably stems from surviving harsh violent environments and a culture developing from there?

I think our BC example shows that they aren't the only ones to prioritise this behaviour either. I don't think blacks are like a monolithic group either I mean Jamaican characteristics are very different to say Ghanaian ones. 

Like I'm saying, our own people need to be careful of coming across as pushovers. This is guaranteed to make things worse. And mark them out as victims/prey.

The people you look down on aka 'Juts', how about we try to educate them and bring them closer to Sikhi. Last time that happened, our quom literally erupted alive and reached grand heights. They are more of our hope than these black and white people ya'll are reaching out to lmao. Stop putting down Jatts esp when they make up the majority of our religion. That makes no sense. Gurjant posted some black Sikh who was posting anti-Sikh content and kept bringing up BLM and other black issues. Even black 'Sikhs' are not our allies. He treated his turban like an accessory too, saying "tomorrow I will take off my turban and try dreads, how fun". Lmao tf?  Everyone has their own agenda. 

Bollox, you need to start opening your eyes up more. A lot of juts have zero affinity with Sikhi despite external looks. That's why they produce people like KPS Gill, Badal and countless rapist murdering policemen, who'd kill their own fellow Sikhs for a wage without blinking.   Juts are so mental, that they purposefully ignore this, and present some fantasy image. And all the homostyle barn dancing, alcoholism that now permeates the panth stems from there.  

Broader than all of this is the matter of Sikhi spreading. It can't be (and was never intended to be) some regional, Panjabicentric minority faith. We still have to learn to assimilate other communities into the panth. But that's probably a topic for another thread altogether.

If these people became proper Sikhs, our faith would prosper.

    • I was searching igurbani.com which gives correct pronunciation of Gurbani. I can’t remember all of it at once. I guess it relies on more practice, like more Sehaj Paths. The meaning becomes clearer. I have noticed slight variants in it. This could be because it’s written in old Punjabi.  
    • Veer Manpreet Singh, a lay preacher, claims that -Sikhs aren't supposed to worship Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We are only supposed to worship God as is written in Guru Granth Sahib ji. -We only "revere" Guru Granth Sahib ji.     He says a lot of other things in this video, some are good refutations of Hindu superstitions, but the reformers often go too far. Anyways, what he is saying about not worshipping Guru Granth Sahib ji is totally wrong. The reason is Guru Granth Sahib ji is Guru. Guru is Satguru. Satguru is God. We worship God. Therefore, we also worship Satguru (Guru Granth Sahib ji).   There are innumerable verses in Gurbani equating God and Guru. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਡੁਬਦਾ ਲਏ ਤਰਾਇ ॥੨॥ The Guru is the Supreme Lord and the Transcendent Master. The Guru floats (saves) the drowning one. p49   ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ Know the Guru and God as One. p864   ਗੁਰ ਨਾਲਿ ਤੁਲਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਖੋਜਿ ਡਿਠਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੁ ॥ There is no one at par with the Guru. I have searched and seen the whole universe. p49 (If the Guru is the greatest in the whole universe, shouldn't we worship the Guru?)   I'd like to ask Manpreet Singh what is worship? Any reasonable definition would include obeisance, remembrance, and praise. Those are exactly the same things Gurbani says to do regarding Guru! Remembrance and obeisance: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਦ ਸਦਾ ਸਮ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥ Ever, ever, I think of the True Guru, ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕੇਸ ਸੰਗਿ ਝਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ and the Guru's feet I brush with my head's hair. p387   Praise: ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਆਪਿ ॥ The Guru himself is the transcendent Lord and the supreme master. ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੬੭॥ Throughout the eight watches of the day, O Nanak meditate thou on the Guru. p387   In fact, Gurbani says the way to find God is to worship (puja) of Guru: ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਪੂਜਹੁ ਇਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਲਹੁ ਰੇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Washing and bathing the True Guru's feet, worship thou them. In this way thou shall obtain my Lord Master. Pause. p1118   Could it be any clearer that we are to worship Guru ji?
    • Bro, reciting a shorter Chaupai Sahib is hardly "anti-Dasam". It's fine to argue that the longer Chaupai is more traditional, but the short one isn't anti-Dasam. That's like claiming shorter Rehras is anti-Guru Granth Sahib ji just because there are fewer selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It might not be traditional, but it's not anti-Guru Granth Sahib. I prefer the longer versions, but let's not exaggerate. Every tradition has a slightly different Rehras version. Nanaksar vs Taksal vs Nihangs and so on. The basic template for Rehras is at the beginning of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Later, Chaupai Sahib was added and Anand Sahib always follows as the end of a process. Then some sangats added more saloks to start Rehras and others were added at the end. Some additional selections from Dasam Bani were also added, but it wasn't the same ones for every sangat. The important thing is to not hate on each other for these variations.
    • Umm, so you're upset that this jatha did Chaupai the same way it's being done at Harimandar Sahib for 100 years? Shouldn't you be upset at the manager of Darbar Sahib? I'm not saying that Sikhs who are aware of certain issues shouldn't do the longer Chaupai, but there are only so many battles you can fight. Instead of calling some jatha traitors because they're doing the (for better or worse) "standard" Chauapai published by the SGPC, it would be better to change things from the central point. You can't fault the average Sikh for picking up the average Gutka and doing paath.
    • It's the same here in Toronto. Alot of the gudwaras here are political orientated and get tons of funding from the government-probably want them stay hush hush with all the BS that has been happening with India.  These guys are skewing gurbani. A complaint was sent to a ragi singh a couple of days ago in regards to a hukamnama.
