A letter to Sammy-Dummy

excerpts from sammy-bammy's blogs
“I hate Indians. It’s bad enough they are famous for being drunk and rude (most of them anyway). Now they carry the reputation of being stealer, robbers, rapist, idiots, morons, drunkard bastards and list goes on...”.




After reading your ridicules outburst on certain race I was but at first eager to chide you back but there was something that stopped me almost instantly from doing what you did. It took me sometime to contemplate but I eventually figured out what stop me, it was being educated. What is the meaning of being educated? Is it the ability to be rhetorical or the fortunate privileges of higher education? Education is useless unless we can fully utilize it in a right way. Being educated means being able to make judgment not based on emotions but rather with logic and humility. How you behave shows how educated you are? How you behave when you are under emotional pressure concludes if you are really educated. Fighting, raping stealing etc is physical outburst of people you can’t handle emotions and feelings. It is not action based on logic and consensus. What about verbal outburst? That I will leave the readers or maybe Sammy herself to decide. As far as I know an educated person will not resort to physical outburst like raping or stealing just like an educated person will not resort to outrages verbal outburst. The uneducated is a failing of the educated to educate the uneducated. For that I take the blame for you and the 2 indian guys. I am sorry.

There are certain races infamous for particular negative activities but blaming only a particular race for a certain negative activity is absurd. Let’s say there are Mahmood, Chan and Indran. Just say Chan is well known kingpin of organized crime such as drugs, sex and smuggling and Indran is a drug addicts. Indran can be the creation of Chan’s wrongdoing. If Indran steals to pay Chan for his drugs, do we blame Indra or Chan or “Chan and his friends” or “Indran and his friends”? Why don’t we blame Mahmood (police officer) and his friends who took bribes from Chan? We can blame Mahmood, Indran and Chan but not and never their friends.

It is bad enough being robbed but it is worse robbing oneself of dignity, pride and perspective of others. Words are deadlier than punches. Apologies that are the cause of circumstances will never be appreciated. It is amusing that a week of cogitation is more than enough for a person who has the basic education to start a blog to reflect on mistakes such as this and concede. Obviously it is the police report that seems to induce an apology rather than time or contemplation.
