A post going around about AB Villiers and I posed the question there..
as usual no one not touching ...
So did Richards not display the same kind of racist attitude that AB is supposedly guilty of??
AB did not supposedly want colored on his team...and Richards only wanted Blacks..
But as usual everyone will go hiding..
I will not....and Richards irrespective of his affair with an Indian saw it fit to be RACIST in his selection policy.

In reply to CITYBOY
You are a damn racist. I hope, I hope you don't pretend to be of the Muslim faith.
Folks, he is an example of what I tell you all about the "Indo Guyanese" racist movement.
In reply to Emir
What is Muslim Faith? To pissfully bomber the whole world?
TALK NAH SKUNT.
In reply to CITYBOYgive us proof of your claims
In reply to CITYBOY
Blacks are discriminated all over world.....be it India, England, South Africa , Australia,.....be it cricket, football, rugby,......most famous players are abused simply because colour......Richards was proud of his origin.... dominated world cricket, when England & Australia were considered epicenter..... Richards had affair with Indian....has a daughter.....his best friend Botham,an Englishman....he is simply proud black....
De Villiers.....not only wanted to drop Rabada but refused to allow Zondo to be selected in the playing XI .......
Please give an instance, where Richards, refused to select a player.....white or brown.....

Be a man and not a mouse. Just tell is what you believe instead of asking us. And bring proof if you have any at all
In reply to CITYBOY Bro! how do you equate a one statement by Viv to being racist?
In reply to camos
Look I will not run from this topic ...so its just a one time thing so we must not pay it any mind....
This is as open as it gets. ... we need to recognize truth and untruth..
What about those on the team that did not say anything???
Look this whole calling out of people is inappropriate ...if you are guilty of the same..
In reply to Emir
You are an old man. And I will not cast stones at you.
In reply to CITYBOY
And how do you know that CB?
Dont be gullible...that skunt is a fraud
In reply to Narper
I playing with him. I really dont want to get into any converse with Emir.
I ask a question and he blow up calling me a RACIST.. I am one man that stand up against bullyism because of my brown skin ..
In Antigua a bunch of guys came to me from all sides with disgusting remarks about Shiv and Sars and their brown skin as well as mine...
I laced into them and a lady from the tourist booth came
over to me and said boy you got a lot of guts to which I repliedI dont stand for crap.
In reply to CITYBOY
You are a racist and that eediot fraud supporter of yours is dotish, he won't fool anyone abut driving a wagon. We know that wagon is full of hate!
You should be ashamed of yourself.
In reply to Emir
Absolutely I am a racist because I like myself and browness...
If you are ashamed of who you are thats not my problem..
I am however very ashamed and its demeaning to me to be on the same chatboard as you. ... oh well
I can view it as a charitable act.
In reply to CITYBOY
There is a simple solution to this. CITY, tell us how many players of the ethnicity Richards' apparently did not like could replace greenidge, haynes, dujon, Marshall, Gomes, and anyone of the quicks? Keeping in mind Brian Lara, whose 2nd innings in first class cricket was almost a hundred in 1988 versus Marshall and Garner, could not make the team. If there is, name him/them
In reply to Jumpstart
Jump dont get excited. Richards made a statement and he owns it...the region was silent except for the brownies ...
Do you have any idea how non blacks were treated on the WI team???
Try asking around...
Richards never apologized ....
but what the heck.
In reply to CITYBOY
Richards called the team his African team. I personally don't see any issue. The team was a team made of black people. Nobody said anything because nobody was offended by a statement of fact. Some politically opportunistic persons in Trinidad made a bruhaha and that has to be taken in the context that there was an election in TTO in 1991. These statements were made just before the Aussies tour of the WI in 1991. And for your information, the person who made the most noise, a former PM of Trinidad, received an apology from Viv. I wasn't even born then but its in newspapers and books. By the way, as we are on the subject of apologies, VS Naipaul ever apologize for any of the offensive, bordering on seditious statements he has made?

A link to the report of Viv's apology
In reply to Jumpstart
When did Naipaul play for WI??? Dont change the discourse ..
But the question remains... now unto another loaded question
In reply to CITYBOY
You give up because you are devolving into misinformed drivel that you have no way of substantiating but you heard from a relative or friend
In reply to CITYBOY
Disingenuous nonsense. I expected better from you.

In reply to CITYBOY
Oh come on..drop this racist thing...its South Africa players...its...its Richards.WHY DONT WE LOOK AT THE THINLY DISGUISED RACISM IN OUR OWN RANKS...Somebody on this MB who should know better hates Jofra Archer and expressed the wish to see him get an injury that would end his career.Why because he plays for England.Such implied nasty racist overtones.STFU about the racism in other people.
In reply to CITYBOY
I mention Naipaul because he is more well known than any west indian cricketer and has used his platform to make several racist and borderline seditious statements, which I suspect you agree with because you are trying to change the subject
Rass, so CITYBOY isn't Narper's 2nd handle?
Cool.
I have no idea why anyone started this thread but its a disgraceful piece of libel. Viv is a proud black man and a proud Antiguan and a proud west Indian. Whoever cityboy is is ignorant and does not know sir Viv one little bit and has a hell of a nerve starting a thread like this I rarely come on this site and now I remember why I call bullshit on this.
Listen allyuh peeps.Racism is a topic best discussed in the Backroom.Didnt you read the rules?.Two points here.THE RUMSHOP IS TO DISCUSS CRICKET.Secondly DO NOT BE A JACKASS.Cant you buffoons read?..Quite apart from the fact that the rubbish posted by the original FOOL POSTER is absurd.
