Hey Mausam,
I have had this feeling ever since I have seen them, these african americans are so much similar to jatts. Believe it or not if you trace the history you will definitely find some link. We are so much alike.
African-americans love their hip-hop/reggae as much as we adore our Bhangra.(no wonder hip-hop-bhangra is a deadly mix these days).While a white guy will be quitely hearing his music on his ipod but an african american will be swinging with the song even if its from an ipod which reminds me so much of how I listen to music!
African-americans have an inclination of picking up a fight at a drop of a hat, which is absolutely similar to jatts.They are loud mouth, loud in their actions and considered unsophisticated by wordly standards which is exactly how jatts are perceived. African-americans love their bling and that is another similarity with jatts, as we see so many jatt boys all the time with gold khandaaz around their neck. Showing off, living life king size are some of the other common traits associated with both these communities. People avoid interacting with African americans just like they avoid interacting with jatts in india-"who knows when will they lose their mind!". African-americans love their Cadillac, burgers and guns as much as jatts love their jeeps,butterchicken and dunalis. Both communities prefer moving around in groups wherever they go,("how many white kids have you seen roaming around in a group, roaming for no definite purpose")
African americans are known for their fearless, I dont care attitude just like jatts are. So my African-american brothers, you remind me of home away from home!
Regards,
Ajj Kaim

as an african american, um, i have to say your perception of my people is rather narrow. I don't know much about your people, but please look deeper if you're going to make sweeping comparisons.
Naheen I agree ... true !! to the core
.. yaar tera comparison.. is indeed very superficial.. and only external.. u should have mentioned the deeper.. qualities of jatt's as well.. like.. they are very relaible and will get killed trying to save someone else.. they are stupid.. to the extent. .that they will sometimes stick out their necks for the enemy.. to be betrayed later on.. u see..
too good!haha
interesting comparison u made! but i am unsure of both communities though i am an indian....i don t have adequte knowledge of african amrican ppl either...
interesting observation... though it looks true on the outlook, i believe that people cannot be generalized. i think every individual is different. :)
ha..cudnt hav enjoyed readin any other posts of urs dat much !!
jus cud visualise all d comparisons u made !!
absolutely perfect :p
Couldnt agree with you more. how come I was wondering about all of this - even our songs talk about the same (in a single song) things - brotherhood, fights and girls.
