There's been a lot going on in social media about these regionals and selections.

This was an interesting reply from Tarisai Chaminuka to Danielsson's post about Blessing being our most reliable seamer-
Even when virtue signaling about black players we have a disclaimer.Then Rhodie's wonder why no single black player rebels against ZC.Its a rock and a hard place kind of situation.Poor treatment from ZC or someone who thinks you should not even be there.

I had a double take, well written, but wrong nonetheless, and damned annoying and worthy of a response.

Was the implication that black players didn't support the coup because they thought ZC were the lesser of the two evils? Maybe I read too much into that.
So a white guy can't say a black guy is a good player because he's virtue signaling and branded a Rhodie?
I'm assuming a Rhodie is a guy who hankers about the past AND thinks the whites don't want the blacks to have equal opportunity.

What would he call a Zimbabwean that clearly thinks whites shouldn't be given equal opportunity in any aspect of society, let alone cricket? A Zimby?
As a community, albeit now a tiny one, we've kept our heads above water only just, and we lose ground every day, but we're hanging in...just. It must be vexing that we seem to do well against all odds.
We've been discriminated against for decades.The fundamental difference is we used to create wealth and not take. Now we just survive.

You could of course rebel against poor treatment by ZC all by yourselves, you don't need the whites to help you. You wouldn't know where to start because they're miles ahead of you.

Despite years of indoctrination to the contrary the whites just want equal opportunity, those that can afford it now buy it, but the rest of us want it to be merit based and it's a pipe dream.
What we're waiting for is for you to build something we can all be proud of, instead of taking, and in most instances messing it up. C'mon lads it's time to stop blaming as a smokescreen and to start building, it's been 40 years. Let us put one hand on the steering wheel, we know how to get things done and we only steal small amounts.
