Thirty four years ago, some criminal elements among Sinhalese carried out indiscriminate attacks on Tamils after some Sinhalese soldiers were killed by the LTTE<\/em> in Jaffna. Majority of Sinhalese condemned this dastardly act and protected their Tamil neighbours. There was never a recurrence of such madness in the last thirty four years, even when the LTTE<\/em> went on rampage killing innocent men, women and children in Sinhalese villages in North & East Sri Lanka and other parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Yet, even after thirty four years, some imbecile elements among Sinhalese blame the entire Sinhalese nation for what happened in 1983 July. They forget that they too are Sinhalese and if all Sinhalese are to accept the guilt for what happened in 1983, then they themselves should be guilty. We need not be guilty about what a small section of our population did thirty four years ago. It is like holding ourselves responsible for rapes, murders, drug trafficking and embezzlement carried out by some Sinhalese. In any society there are black sheep. We condemn them; we feel sorry for the victims; but the perpetrators had nothing to do with us.<\/p>\n

The same people who blame Sinhalese for the incidents of July 1983, do not utter a word about the LTTE<\/em> atrocities against our own people from 1983 to 2009. For twenty six long years, the LTTE<\/em> butchers brutally hacked Sinhalese infants, children, women and unarmed men to death just because they were Sinhalese. Entire villages were wiped out; people were lined up and shot. Yet there are some Sinhalese idiots defend the LTTE<\/em>. They do not cry for hundreds of Sinhalese and Muslim children killed by the LTTE<\/em>, but they cry for the son of the butcher who ordered the killings. If Sinhalese are to be collectively responsible for Black July, on the same logic, Tamils are to be collectively responsible for LTTE<\/em> massacres.<\/p>\n

For our people it is not just Black July, but also Black January, Black February etc. to Black December. There is not a single month when innocent Sinhalese were not butchered by LTTE<\/em> terrorists. Do Tamils accept guilt for this? No, except for a handful of them. Not even the people who funded LTTE<\/em> admit their guilt; they still defend the LTTE<\/em> and even deny these massacres.<\/p>\n

Some people claim that Sinhalese should apologise to Tamils for Black July. Yes, we should apologise, not just to Tamils, but to the entire world for belonging to a nation which has a high number of such imbecile people, who would stoop down to such a low level to condemn their own people for something they are certainly not guilty of. We should be ashamed to belong to the same nation, if they call themselves Sinhalese.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
