You're right, "South African" was pretty redundant.Yes, only old white South Africans are racist. No white people from any other country in the world have ever been racist.
Did you actually read what Barry wrote their or on his FB timeline?! Did I say anything about anybody else being racist or anything?OK, because you have family who moved to SA in the 1930s and 1940s means you know the political attitudes of Barry Richards et al.?
Very interesting.
Did your family know Richards personally? Do they know for certain he was a member of the Broederbond? When exactly did Richards join the National Party?
This is what you said in your original post: 'A relative of mine lives in South Africa and he told my dad how legends like Barry Richards was fully in favor of apartheid and how he disliked blacks or colored players'.Did you actually read what Barry wrote their or on his FB timeline?! Did I say anything about anybody else being racist or anything?
When I read that comment the things my dad told me came to my mind and its not rocket science to relate things. It's pretty much evident what he is.
Why single out Barry Richards though? Especially as there are a whole host of individuals from other countries who are far more racist than Barry Richards will ever be. Never mind those other Africans like Mugabe, can't mention them.Did you actually read what Barry wrote their or on his FB timeline?! Did I say anything about anybody else being racist or anything?

This is such a dreadful post I had to check to make sure I hadn't posted it.A relative of mine lives in South Africa and he told my dad how legends like Barry Richards was fully in favor of apartheid and how he disliked blacks or colored players. When my dad shared the same I was like - errmmm maybe your cousin is biased.
Couple of days ago I noticed a stupid comment from him on somebody's post and today Barry posted this on Alan Mullally's post. I am really surprised to see how stupid he is to post such things on social media!
Yes, generalize anyone for capital punishment but leave Kallis out because he was a good cricketer.kingkallis, I assume from your handle you admire Jacques Kallis.
Do you know he supports capital punishment?
In my experience those who support the death penalty are seldom the most enlightened or open minded.
Did I let this colour my perception of Jacques Kallis? No, because his personal views are neither here nor there - he is not a politician or a journalist, he was a cricketer, and that is what he should be judged on.
Was Barry Richards back then too?
Exactly, it's ridiculous.Yes, generalize anyone for capital punishment but leave Kallis out because he was a good cricketer.
Just as terrible as the OP. Why does this thread even exist.

That awkward moment when Gnske calls Marius' post terrible and Marius doesn't get it, and agrees with GnskeExactly, it's ridiculous.
Unless I see a cricketer wearing a white hood and burning a cross on Makhaya Ntini's front lawn I don't really care what his personal views on anything are.
I knew he was saying post was horrible.That awkward moment when Gnske calls Marius' post terrible and Marius doesn't get it, and agrees with Gnske
