[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1001017, member: 56232"] Bit rich for some members of the South African government to jump on the racism bandwagon when it is well known their party is full of anti-white racists. For the South African players in particular they may be loathe to take the knee when they can see what the black government of SA is doing to people of their colour and their sport. Also what I feared would happen is happening, BLM has gone from supporting black Americans against police brutality to demanding everyone carry out certain acts or be branded a racist. Demanding people don't do things is one thing but demanding people do things is a different matter altogether. The worst bit is that the original message is getting lost and resentment is actually growing against BLM now because of it. The more people make this mandatory and hammer people to do it, the more people will oppose it. People simply do not like being told what to do and threatened if they don't. I support BLM but if anyone told me to take a knee or face consequences I'd tell them to **** off. [/QUOTE]
