[shake d livin wake d dead]

I does still try to figure out why Indian people like to fight down house and land thing....geeez...when yuh dead where yuh going with it???

[mero]

Just me or the usual vocalists gone quiet? Seeing as it wasn't masterminded by sausage, the PNM good boy nah...

Big up ttps though

[maj. tom]

The crime was quite heinous though, that is a psychotic level of murder. As it is usually such cases of land dispute. Remember a few years ago where the relative burn the woman with gasoline or something so over land again?

Did the brother do the acts himself, or was it the hired help?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

hired help....

[mero]

Doesn't matter, man still sanctioned the murder of his own sister. He's just as guilty

IMHO, it's a flaw in their belief system. They value owing property highly, which is not bad. The problem is lies with:
1. Favour of sons over daughters (because they will carry on their "name")
2. Parents reluctance to "pass the baton"
3. Unequal and/or unfair distribution of possessions. In many cases, the child or children who lives with the parents to the last feels entitled to the most and usually gets the most. This is regardless of gender or positive attributes.
Either way, it is wrong and it's the parents to blame. Thankfully this attitude will most likely die with as that generation closes.

Till greed to have it all takes over, then there are some small hiccups, like how to wipe out the famalee & claim everything without popo suspecting is one person alone orchestrate it, or how best to run a ratch with forged documents to get things that they didn't earn or aren't entitled to.

The problem is lies with:
1. Favour of sons over daughters (because they will carry on their "name")

Based in the original Indian logic, the thinking being boys turn into men who can work & bring in money/whatever assets & women can't/shouldn't do that. Even to this day, there are some of them that think a woman shouldn't ever be allowed to make more money than a man, ever. It don't make sense to me, but that's their logic.

2. Parents reluctance to "pass the baton"

Though not an Indian-specific characteristic, this oft stems from the aforementioned greed, & after you get it, however you get it, the real test is how long you could hold onto it.

3. Unequal and/or unfair distribution of possessions. In many cases, the child or children who lives with the parents to the last feels entitled to the most and usually gets the most. This is regardless of gender or positive attributes.

This isn't limited to persons of East Indian heritage either. Plenty grandparents of all ethnicities leave all they have for their grand kids, great-grand kids, siblings kids, etc, & their own children get nuttn, seen it more than a few times. People tend to bequeath their possessions to those that stick by them the longest or help them through the most difficult times of their lives. Even seen a couple people leave substantial assets for persons that had zero relation to them by blood or law.

The times are changing yo....

It used to be families of Indian descent in south/central have kept lawyers with a constant stream of work over land disputes, land borders, power of attorney etc for the last century....

While the majority of disputes are still from Indian families from south/central, over the last 10-15 years there has a slow but growing number of cases involving house/land disputes in the west. The chambers don't mind these cases as the legal fees are often paid in USD by family abroad.

Here's what I've seen that may contribute to this "reluctance" Parents of pensionable age, sign house over to children. Children eventually get a wife/husband who starts to chain them up about having the old people around being a killjoy. Children promptly take chain up and put parents out
End result, the house that you may have worked your entire life to build is gone, and you have to seek refuge by other relatives because your pension cannot pay a rent and allow you to eat as well.

Where everybody who use their common sense and say is just a robbery gone wrong.

Still the parents to take the majority of the blame. If they grew their children up right and instilled good values in their children, they will not have to worry about being "put out". Most of the time they are a "killjoy" because of their lack of confidence in their own ability to raise their child right which translates into them not having confidence in their children, hence, micro-managing their children lives which becomes a bother to their spouses..... ergo "killjoy"

greed is greed no matter how you rationalize it.

Agreed, I mean you don't know how uncs and tants is behind closed doors, but I see nice, well meaning people get thrown out.

[matr1x]

Indians think long term in terms of wealth and moving forward. Blacks only know how to wine away their money and live paycheck to paycheck.

Don't hate.

It's not just treating your children "the best". Parents must be the first authority their children knows AND also their first best friends. Most parents choose one. The other issue is parents have a tendency to hide and ignore developmental/mental issues with their children (he was a good boy syndrome).

Greed is Greed

Whether demonstrated by genocide,murder,war,dishonesty,malfeasance,misbehavior in public office...

People view wealth as a destination and regardless of parenting,culture or race ....are CAPABLE of doing anything to arrive at that destination...
Giving in to the temptation to take not a big step for many.
It eh an indian thing.
It eh even a new thing.

Yes it is. When a group is being targeted in such actions as property tax, and retrenchment and can still succeed, it's time to take off the kid gloves.

The masters of the current government own massive amounts of wealth and occasionally drip a fee in the pnm supporters direction
