I know this topic will probably piss a lot of people off. And I know it is a taboo subject, but I'd like to touch base on some critically important issues that are probably not going to get resolved anytime soon. I will also stay anonymous in this matter. You are either going to love this post for it's brute honesty and agree with it, or you are going to hate it. The Armenian community in Los Angeles has been mentioned to be the toilet of the Armenian diaspora in other postings. I would have to highly agree with this matter. There's a famous joke stating that anytime an Armenian tries to get out of his hole, another Armenian pulls him back down. I have seen this true time and time again. One Armenian shooting down another Armenian any and every chance he gets. The sad part of this is that Armenians are shooting down other Armenians in the even the most minute matters. I have heard time and time again how Armenians try to talk other Armenians out of opening up businesses, going to college, dating someone, ect... I'm sure it has happened to all of you. Incredibely, Armenians are even trying to stop other Armenians from minor things, like self expression, laughter, relaxation, a feeling of serenity, weight loss, inner peace, flirting with the opposite sex, a simple conversation with the opposite sex, and the list goes on an on. Here are some examples of what I mean. Self Expression: One Armenian says, "I find UCLA to be a fine college. Many of these other colleges just don't do it for me" The other Armenian side swipes him with, "Ara, hericka angap baner khosas. Mihat lav ban asa, gone orakhanank." or "Stop saying stupid shit all the time, say something smart for a change and maybe you'll cheer us up!" As you can see, all the 1st Armenian was doing was expressing his feelings. The 2nd Armenian side swiped him with an insulting comment. Weight loss: An Armenian male buys the salad meal at Burger King while entertaining his guests who wanted to eat burgers. He feels that watching his weight would be a positive move for his health. His friends tease and make fun of him for not being a man. As if men should eat and drink like pigs or else they are not men. Conversing with the opposite sex in a club setting: An Armenian woman is dressed conservative at a club conversing with a male. Her friend stand 3 feet behind and watches with a look of disgust or simply with a serious look on her face. The moment her friend finds an excuse, she jumps in and pulls her away. She tells the male that she is "protecting" her. In fact, she is just jealous of the fact that she is not being talked to. She continues to tell her "friend" that the guy is too fat, too thin, too goofy, looks bad, ect.. She tries to use any method of diverting attention from the male. Inner Peace/Self Expression/Laughter: One Armenian has finished work/college for the day and is hanging out with some friends. He or she says a joke that happens to be truly funny. He wants to laugh after a hard day of work. His Armenian friend says, "Ara, yerp es mezsanaloo? Sagh gyanget ankap joker es asoon, dura hamar esor kak choones." Or, "When the hell are you going to grow up? All your life, you've been saying stupid jokes, that's why your financially in bad shape!" As you can see, the comment came out of nowhere. The "friend" was in fact pissed off at the fact to see him having a moment of laughter. He couldn't stand that the joke teller was happy, even if it was for a second. I have witnessed this phenominon in the Armenian community for many years now. The most severe location I have seen this in is Glendale, and the surrounding cities of Burbank, Hollywood, Pasadena, and La Crescenta. The worst I have seen in "type" of Armenian would rank in this order: #1 Hayastansi - This phenominon is severely out of control and embarrassing in the Hayastansis. #2 Barskahay - This is not happening as much as it is in the Hayastansis, but still very out of control. #3 Beroutsi and others. - Even in the rest of the Armenians, it is beyond out of control, but not as bad as the first two mentioned above. There are so many other major issues in the Armenian culture, it almost seems that it is impossible to address them all. Another major problem that developed a long time ago in the Armenian community is internal dating scene. Men are so closed minded, they have forced woman to behave in ways that has ruined the dating scene amongst Armenians. Here were some key mistakes that ruined it all. #1. A man has sex with an Armenian woman and goes telling everyone about it and calling her a whore. This has happened enough to put the fear of God in Armenian women. They are afraid of being labeled a whore. #2. Many non Armenians dress up to look sexy, but are balanced in the way they have sex. Remember, sex is a personal choice and nobodies business. Women in other races vary. Some are very conservative, some have sex occassionaly, while others are nymphomaniacs. Personal success has nothing to do with it. You will find conservative women in ghettos while you might find nymphomaniacs that are lawyers or police officers. It is a personal choice and women of most other races have the option to choose. Armenian women don't. Due to the insensitive comments and character assasination techniques of both Armenian men and women, all women are scared to enjoy sex or even enjoy the natural attraction to a male. I have heard beautiful Armenian women complain that they cannot find a man. I ask them if they flirt at all with men. Some of them have told me their fear of being called a whore by their friends. Now if a friend is calling her friend a whore for being flirtatious around a male, this would lead many to believe that this is an impulse of severe jealousy. Another problem in the Armenian community is the lack of respect, particullarly in the city of Los Angeles. One might say that it's not even a lack of respect, it's an overabundance of disrespect. In many of the thousands of conversations amongst Armenians, it seems that it's only a matter of time before a disrespectful, backstabbing comment comes out. Now, if Armenians are so disrespectful of each other, what do they respect? You know the answer. Money. And not a good income, a great income. At least a 6 figure income per year. This has lead thousands of Armenians to do illegal activities for the sake of money, or should I say, for the sake of respect. Everyone wants to be respected in their community. The feeling of importance is a necessity in all cultures. It is not a desire, but a necessity. Armenians feeling disrespected everywhere they go by their own people may want to pull some illegal activities to gain that respect. The problem in this is that they end up getting caught eventually, which puts them behind bars, or at least in trouble with the law, lowering their self esteem further. In fact, the main source of continuing problems in the Armenian community, is the lack of self esteem. Lack of self esteem: With so much insult, so much insensivity, such a lack of love, by the time many Armenians are of a mature age, their self esteems are so low, they end up flipping. Here's what I mean. They become young adults. Their self esteem was shot by the time they came out of high school. This is especially troubling in the male Armenians. It is quite embarassing for many males to be in distress publicly. Many Armenian men with low self esteem try to hide it by acting machismo; or whatever it takes to make the public think he is happy. In fact, most people are aware of the front, and see right through it. When an Armenian (or anyoen else) sees that people can see through them, they tend to stay home, away from the public. This also impacts their life negatively. The lack of a social life destroys a person after a while. This further lowers the self esteem to points that many Armenian, or non Armenians, begin to turn cold towards life. Some of them become monsters. One Armenian victimizing the other in a manipulative, deceptive way under the guise of love is the downfall of the Armenian culture. This phenomonon is so rampid in the Armenian community, it is happening amongst strangers, friends, relatives, and even from an Armenians own mother, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and so on. It is pitiful and disgusting. It is also denied by those who enjoy brining others down. In fact, all it is doing is destroying ones self esteem, degrading the Armenian name, and culturaly pulling the Armenian community apart, limb for limb. In fact, these problems are causing other cultures to hate the Armenian people. Prejudice is building against the Armenian people daily. While some might call these non Armenians "haters", they are mistaken. They are not "hating" or jealous of the Armenian community because of it's positive reasons. They are incredibly against many of our cultural problems and see it as destructive both to the Armenian community and to the general community. A good example is if you saw 8 rabizes in an SUV blasting hip hop music, with bald heads, and looking for touble. You might look in disgust. Well, those rabizes might call you a hater. In fact, you do hate them because of your disapproval. But it is not out of jealousy. It is out of disgust. Yes, those rabizes would label you a hater. Why is this happening in our community? There seems to be 2 main reasons why this is happening. It's very simple. As all races have their own issues, Armenians have theirs. The Armenian people seem to have a severe jealousy problem. The jealousy is so severe, and runs so deep, they try to prevent any positive outcome in any other Armenians life. Of course, each Armenian varies, and some don't have this problem, but too many do. They try to destroy each other due to jealousy. Another, more disguised problem is that Armenians are sometimes afraid of what would happen if an evil minded Armenian came to power. They may try to prevent them from success as well. I have heard a story of an Armenian woman laughing in the most evil manner after she won a court case. She in fact won about $20,000 from the case. This same woman had another story as well. She used to burn her dog with a flame, and as the dog wept, she cared for it. In essence, she was trying to make the dog feel physical pain so that she could pet it and make it feel better. If you ask me, this 45 year old woman has some major issues. I have heard of many horrific stories like this in the Armenian community. I will list some of them below. Feel free to post your own horrific stories as well. It is about time that this is brought out in the open. How evil doers get away with this stuff I am sure you would agree. If one person is trying to cause the other persons downfall, it is down right evil. Here's how they get away with it. Step 1 - They spot a fellow Armenian in a state of gain. Step 2 - They do everything in their power, exerting as much energy as needed (sometimes to exhaustion), to prevent the fellow Armenian from the gain. Even as minute as it might be. (Like the example above about the Armenian male laughing and the "friend" insulting him) Step 3 - The victimizer sees that victim in this case feels that he is being mistreated. Step 4 - The victimizer says that he is doing this for his own good. In essense, he gets away with it under the guise of love. Conclusion - With such a lack of love in the Armenian community as it is, the victim forgives his victimizer. As time progresses - The friendship begins to crumble, and a heavy amount of resentment sets in. Sometimes the victimizer finds this a perfect oppurtunity to victimize his "friend" again as punishment for his so called crime, of resentment. In some cases - In some cases, an Armenian is victimized so often by other Armenians, and has gone through so much mental anguish because of this, he becomes the victimizer. He feels that it would be better to victimize than to be the victim. What he doesn't realize, as one becomes a victimizer, a whole new world of problems set in, and this destroys any self worth the Armenian once had. Now his self esteem is fully crushed, and his self value has diminished. He feels worthless. What it has done to us? I know this is a taboo topic. But simply stating we are a good people is not cutting it anymore. These internal problems have destroyed the Armenian community. It doesn't mean that it won't be one day restored. All bad things come to an end. But it would probably be a while before you saw cultural wide cooperation and self restraint in our community. Here are some examples of what this problem has done to us: 1. It has ruined our name. Many non Armenians openly talk about how they hate the Armenian community. 2. It has instilled distrust in our community. Armenians rarely trust each other. 3. It has destroyed many of the youth's self esteem. It is the responsibility of the adults to be adults. Instead, many Armenians have acted in this cowardly matter. This has cause a lack of role models for our youth. Also, many of the older relatives have criminally lowered the childs self esteem before he could even develop one. 4. It has prevented many from seeing life for what it is. This includes a healthy dating life, healthy bases of friendship, and a home one could lay his head in peace. 5. It has cause many to go the illegal route to make money. Many are under the impression that money is the way for respect. Respect is a form of love. Money=Love. This, in fact, is not true. Money helps, but it is only a piece of the puzzle. 6. It has created monsters out of us. Many victimized men and women in the Armenian race have turned into monsters. In fact, one of LAs most famous and most dangerous gang members is Armenian. 7. This has caused many to use drugs. Drugs are used usually when one cannot cope with their problems and feel that they have no choice. This list goes on and on. What we can do In reality, we can do a lot. The answer is very simple. The black race in America calls this "black love". Love for your fellow Armenian is an incredibly important part of every successful culture. But the problems in the Armenian culture are so grand, it is hard for us to even trust one another. So instead of catupulting our whole culture to a point of love, trust, helpfullness, hope, advice, care, and so on, the first thing to focus on is exposure. The destructing Armenians are so clever in their evil methods, it is hard for the untrained eye to see how this all works. But the education of this knowledge is vital, and the more Armenians who read this article, the better it will be. I know this is a harsh reality, but it is reality. The only way to change things is to start from step one - overcoming denial. The truth of the matter is that there are much too many Armenians eating each other alive. Armenian was dubbed the most corrupt caucasion nation in the world. A government Armenian official stated that Armenia will be doomed as a failed nation unless the corruption is put to an end. America has threatened Armenia to stop the corruption or else the goverment funding will end (America send money to Armenia every year as they do with many countries). Education is the answer to all problems. The first step is to accept the facts and the rest will follow. Unfortunately, this is the major problem we are facing in the Armenian community today. Horrific stories I can name tons of horrific stories I have heard from Armenians in my day. I will name 2 to keep it short. The burning car store: 2 Armenian girls lived in an apartment. To be honest, neither of them were very pretty. One girl decided to tell the other girl to stop saying hi to her male friends that would stop by here and there. She said that the guys smile at you and might be more attracted to you then me. The victim in this story was shocked to hear this. Well, as weeks went on, she would walk around the apartment and feel awkward since she was being forced not to greet the male guests. She eventually began to greet the male guests like before. The victimizer was so jealous, she decided to call a rabiz and get him to set the victim's car on fire. The rabiz eventually set her car on fire. The victim never told the police the truth. She may have been scared to do so. The battered pregnant woman: A woman from a nice Armenian town moved to Los Angeles and married an Armenian male. The male was hiding the fact that he was on drugs. As soon as they got married, he openly did drugs in front of her, and even invited his friends to join him in the drug use. She was 4 months pregnant at the time. He didn't care that she was inhaling the second hand smoke from the drug pipe. She eventually spoke out against it. He kicked her out of the house while being 4 months pregnant with his baby. She came back after 2 months as asked him to go to counsiling. He yelled and screamed for her asking such a "foolish" question. She begged and he eventually went to the family counseling. Conclusion As you can see, there are some seriously horrific problems in the Armenian community. As long as we sit here and say we are the greatest people on earth, as if we are God's people, we will never change. The denial is out of control. I know some will be upset to read this story. I know that some of you will be happy that someone spoke out and exposed the reality. I believe the root of the problems are jealousy, resentment toward one another, mistrust, and so on. We can be a loving people when we can't even trust one another. We can't even force ourselves to trust one another. Why? Because our trust is abused so often. It would take a long time for a mistrustful Armenian to begin to trust their fellow Armenians again. This is not just a problem, this is our own mental genocide. We are destroying each other daily. Everyone varies in degree, while some are out of the picture, but there are enough Armenians out there to call this a major problem in our community. This is not even injustice, this is treason. And it is about time this topic is discussed. P.S. Poor quality insults are expected. Constractive criticism is encouraged.
