Don’t think there’s anyone I’d least like in my team. Even Warner. Horrible individual. Wonder what the good guys of the windies team really make of him. Brathwaite, Gayle, Holder etc
gayle, one of the good guys?
All instances you mention are historical and undeniable. What they are though are history and things have moved on for the better.
The things you mention don’t happen now, the colour of someone’s skin isn’t the crutch it once was despite some people being desperate to cling onto it.
Lewis Hamilton must’ve had the most privledged upbringing imaginable, zero glass ceiling for that boy yet he’s still wandering around with a massive chip on his shoulder.
I go back to the Morgan Freeman point of if you keep giving something the oxygen of publicity then it’ll never go away.
dunno, i remember hearing darren bent getting racist abuse off one of our own fans down pompey, and he said his mam got some off our own in the crowd didn't he? hardly ancient history.
i agree about the whole if everyone ignored race then maybe racism goes away (although it does seem on the up in some places in the world, with a big rise in the far right popularity) BUT also i don't really blame anyone on the wrong end of it thinking 'why should i wait 200 years for it to slowly go away' i don't think any of would have such a lackadaisical if we had black or minority partners or children. if you had a black little girl and on the school playground heard another parent saying 'no place for darkies here' or something like that i'm sure you'd turn the other cheek and just think ah well, itll all blow over one day
