if that last bit is true...

why do arabs hate africans and indians and pretty much every non arab?
-including slavery of africans MUCH more recent than USA etc.

why do blacks hate other blacks (tribes)

why do asians sneer at blacks ?

why are whites 95% likely more to be a victim of crime to a black than vice versa.

why are tongans and aboriginies fighting in queensland (also take note of lebanese on indian violence in the side video)?

What?

So let's put aside whites for a moment, and asians.

Africans have plenty of prejudice and racism. Against other Africans. The examples, both historcial and current are too numerous to list.

What you are actually saying there Hhm, beyond being ridiculously one-eyed, reduces Africans to some sub-human category of childlike incapability. It is disgusting. If you say a black man is not capable of the sin of racism, you are actually taking away his equality, not doing him any favours.

At least you have finally articulated the great falsehood that is driving your unbalanced assertions.

It is the same with your argument against merit-based selection. You are not doing a black man a favour by treating him as incapable of competing on a level playing field with other people groups.

It is the reason why even some of the most virulent, left leaning aboriginal activists in Australia are arguing against the privileges won for their people over the last 30 some years. The policies, rather than uplifting the average bloke have condemned too many to welfare dependency and incapability.

The only solution is to treat all people equally and fairly. Equally capable of wrong and right, equally capable of industry and learning.

Dogg, the Swedes were pretty rough colonialists themselves until the 20th Century. They just got outdone by the Russians and Germans and went quiet.

You two live in one crazy part of the world it seems(Australasia/Pacific Islands).

Some hatred is no different than the Scots' hatred for English or Afrikaners for English and vice-versa. Doesn't qualify as racism.

So I think we can't discount racism where the Islanders, and black on black are concerned. You must remember that extremely primitive and barbaric societies still exist. Ever heard of Discovery Channel? The same can be applied for Arab on Arab tribalism battles.

Arabs in North Africa still enslave blacks to this day! I attribute that to lack of education. They believe blacks are inferior. Arabs in the Middle East however, are racist. As for their hatred for white people.

Either way, it's not like the West is concerned. They're turning a blind eye and going to bed with the Arab League and causing havoc in North Africa, to quench their thirst of greed, and their selfish interests.

Indians are ok. What are you talking about? You forget Afrikaners shipped them down to SA to enslave them? I'd go into Muslims but maehara may have an unwanted accident in the tube somewhere.

The only thing you can point a finger for is Xenophobia. The kind that Blacks in South Africa direct at Africans from other countries. That's unavoidable, and it will escalate to an even bigger mess sooner rather than later. Black South Africans were shut out of education, their job and business opportunities are taken by blacks from countries which got independence 20-30 years before them. Add to that whites bribing leaders to maintain laws and economic policies which protect whites and prevent blacks from developing fairly. This will be the biggest disaster all the world should take responsibility for.

-----------------
The article is a decent read, let's get back to the cricket. Albeit accidentaly, and induced by desperate circumstances, Ethan Dube is one of the very few Ndebele people who've risen to recognition as far as Zimbabwean cricket is concerned. He's lost his credibility by being a puppet candidate for Heath during the rebel years, and now Coltart, as a medium of advancing their agendas. Nonetheless he remains a genuine reference point in cricket.

I've heard plenty of stories about club and franchise cricket in Triangle, Harare, Chitungwiza, Masvingo etc. What's happening in Matabeleland?

Emakhandeni?

Zimfan had a post viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2942

This is newer but not much http://www.dailynews.co.zw/article/Spor ... 99f97843b5.
Emakhandeni 1 features players such as John Nyumbu, Brian Chari and Thabo Mboyi, all who play for Tuskers while the other Tuskers players like Sean Williams, Charles Coventry, Chris Mpofu and Gavin Ewing turn out for BAC 1.
What is Chris doing ditching boys elokshini(location/townships/projects for those of you who do not know.) Choc-ice? :lol:

Roosters? Where did they spring from? There's plenty of other clubs in Mashonaland that I know little about.

Whoa, guys...slippery slope here. I think we are all equal when it comes to stupidity. If there's one common denominator to humanity, that's it.

So in your definition of the word racism, it means hatred of whites for blacks. Semantic range doesn't extend beyond that. No wonder you don't think you're racist Hhm! Black hatred for whites isn't included in your definition of the word. Wow. Problem solved.

All people are capable of doing wrong. It is the great leveller. Nokuti vanhu vose vakatadza.
