You his spokesperson now?Do a search of his recent posting history, about 95% of his posts are cricket-related.
He's always whining about racism, regardless of "topic" the post is about.
Also 95% is not "only"....

No, it's not.So hyperbole is cool when you use it....?![]()
So if we do not keep whining about it...and keep blaming everything on it...Apartheid WILL come back.Guys, its been about time that we get comfortable talking about issues relating to race and our past.
Look at where trying to deny that it happened or making excuses for it has gotten CSA and others.
Lets try to learn from one another instead of doing the ostrich thing.
we need to get realise that, while these discussions are uncomfortable for all involved, NOT talking about them results in worse outcomes.
Growth is painful, but growth is good for us.
It's equally silly to think that racism simply ceased in this country after 1994. Why are you so upset when racism in an area of society is highlighted in an attempt to fix it?So if we do not keep whining about it...and keep blaming everything on it...Apartheid WILL come back.
That old adage of "history repeating itself" seems so useful in these conversations, but it's actually ridiculous and not even slightly applicable.
I get upset at perceived racism, based on feels and what was said 20 years ago.It's equally silly to think that racism simply ceased in this country after 1994. Why are you so upset when racism in an area of society is highlighted in an attempt to fix it?
On that, I think we can agree I Am all for discouraging racism in the here and now but dragging someone over the coals for something said 20 years ago...yeah it just doesn't sit right.I get upset at perceived racism, based on feels and what was said 20 years ago.
This thirst for revenge is what's keeping this country down.
ALL the focus is on the past...so much so that the future is ignored.
They get cheap thrills virtue signaling racist kark because they're all sigma males. Were you not aware?Or you could just not post.
Hopefully ECB **** YCCC up for this.
Nike has pulled the plug.

Brah, your team keeps losing cos your views are wrong.![]()
are you refering to boucher calling adams a brown ****? what makes you think that its not racisim and only percieved racism as you put it?
None of us can presume to know how Adams felt about it then or even now.
I, as a non-white, attended a majority Afrikaans model C school in the 90s. And, overall, im thankful for the experience. I was considered a trouble maker during my seniour years because i spoke about things that were awkward
But as a Junior i allowed myself to be taken advantage of.
I had a teacher that used to say things like "julle bruin leerders". might not seem a big deal now. but it made me feel like an other and that ppl like me were considered other. I never had the courage to call him out on it or to ask him to stop doing that. I was also just happy to be a part of something in someway. But the way he treated "bruin leerders" wasnt right because it wasnt addresssed.
So i can relate to adams, you dont forget these things

Well, there's adams testimony. He was treated a certain way because of his race. remember he testified that he was not only called that during fines meetings. Do we have any reason to believe that hes lying? He testified under oath.What makes you decide that it IS racism?
I never claimed to be a virtue signaller, theres his testimony. He said that all he wanted was an apology. He got a press statement. And now we are here.Yet all you virtue signalers DO presume to know and decide to take Boucher on, on Adam's behalf.
Nope. Im just relating my experience, hopefully for the benefit of the audience. Thats all.And....? You want revenge? What is it that you want now? Maybe find that teacher and drag him to SAHRC? I mean that seems to be the right thing to do, no?
There must be a whole generation from my time walking around with psychological problems because of what we where called during our school years " Tubby , Spotty , Ginger , Sproetgesig ect ect ". Then after school came national service , which in todays world would be the biggest atrocity to mankind because of all the things one was called during that period that may hurt one's fealings for the next 30 yrs.are you refering to boucher calling adams a brown ****? what makes you think that its not racisim and only percieved racism as you put it? I'm asking this honestly. Not trying to troll.

He he I wonder if the HSRC would take my complaint that I was referred to as a "Durban dagga roker" in the national service picnic seriously? The soutpiel and rooinek was just every day stuff.There must be a whole generation from my time walking around with psychological problems because of what we where called during our school years " Tubby , Spotty , Ginger , Sproetgesig ect ect ".
