[QUOTE="ZeroTwo, post: 742904, member: 72695"] A lot of white people assume pro black movements are anti-white. They aren't. Obviously some followers will be and the main figures will occasionally overstep the mark but that doesn't make them racist against white people. Same with feminism, transgenderism etc. Anyway as others have stated, I'd be ALL for a relocation of resources into bringing rugby into more impoverished communities or even communities where it doesn't exist (regardless of race, creed, social status, money). Rugby has a set of values carried by a lot of supporters which can help all sorts of demographics. It may damage rugby in other areas as they'll lose out on funding but rugby can be used as a force for good and often this is at a slight detriment to others. Making a shambles of the national team and saying that THEY are the team which demonstrates inequality is wrong. The teams that demonstrate inequality are grass roots. People from SA will have to tell me whether this is their impression, but from grass roots level it appears to be favouring "white" areas for funding etc (whether through schools or clubs). Love to be proven wrong though! [/QUOTE]
