Coolgayathra don’t be such an ignorant racist. Its because people who think like you, we had to endure all this brutality for the past 30 years. And now it is finally over, are you again trying to stir up hatred by posting baseless racist posts like this?  What are you trying to say? that 1983 nothing happened ? Tamils were not killed by extremists Sinhalese?? I don’t know the exact figures of how many people died in 83 riots, but some say up to 3000 may have been killed (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_July" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>). And just because LTTE ended up killing more people makes the 83 killings justifiable? Is that what you are trying to say? And as Sinhalese we were the victims and the innocent race in all this ?? Then are we any better than them?And do you think 1983 was the first incident like this to ever happen in SL? There have been anti Tamil riots in Sri lanka from 1950s (i.e : <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal_Oya_Riots" target="_blank">1956 Galoya</a>,  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lankan_riots_of_1958" target="_blank">1958 islandwide</a>). All because of few extreme irrational people. As the majority we  should be more considerate and responsible for our actions. IMO Sinhala extremists are to blame equally for this war as the LTTE and Tamil extremists. If we are to go forward as one nation then we have to accept responsibility to what had happened (Both Tamil and Sinhala people), but leave our differences  aside and try to work together to build up the country. Not sit and debate over who is to blame.</blockquote>
