[QUOTE="QKXV, post: 109275"] Perhaps you didn't read the first posts Danny so I wll summarize and hopefully clrea up the confused state in which you posted the above. No one here are in any doubt about SA's political past, in fact, the honourable open minded member DNA Play actually makes reference to this when he says: He then cleverly suggests the following alternative to the current *** for tat strategy employed by the SA GOV (and from what you post above you support): Apartheid is over. Fact. What's going on in SA is not apartheid, it's a nasty hangover from a stupid regime that was over more than 13 years ago.... which incidently will also be gone in another 13 years when my dad's generation turns to dust in their graves. Apartheid has been over for 13 years. The black players you see on the SA circuit now are all products of the end of apartheid. THese players went to high schools and universities in those 13 years and played their rugby at these ex- priviledged white institutions. Hence my comment: Your comment about the indiginous people possibly seeing the Olympic Movement's anti discrimination law as more of a reason to have a quota system, ensuring they get the same oppertunities as [b]those [/b] who held them in apartheid for years is plain stupidity - Who were those people....? Luke Watson, Schalk Burger, Ruan Pienaar....Those ********, how dare they. Danny Boy, Danny boy.....for as long as there are narrow minded South Africans (and now sadly 1 kiwi :P ) thinking that the best way to ensure equality would be to punish the children of the apartheid-era opressor, we will see the CATCH22 you refer to - For, an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind - but, by truly opening our minds and allowing the sins of the fathers to no longer plague the children of Mother Africa the Springboks will have a team of players selected purely on the merit of their talents. A whole squad of men, standing side by side with no doubt in their heart of hearts that they and their team mates are the one for the job. That my friend is equality. [/QUOTE]
