There is already 48% Black representatives in the starting Bok team, putting it up to 60% is outrageous….clear targeting of the White players….this will not end well and Rugby,s popularity will dwindle until there is nothing….this seems to be the Motto of the present idiot government…..just take take and take some more until nothing is left.

The Sunday report has yet again inflamed the race wars with their nonsense report. It had hardly been a year since the Boks won the world cup with a black captain and the most diverse team who were selected on merit.
Yet, now it has been reported that all teams need to be 60% black. Up 10% from the 50% .
The URC teams are also targeted and the Stormers and the sharks are the only teams to come to the targets, but when you look at the Saarks, they are also the worst team in the comp. It has been soften by the fact that they have players like Ox, Mpimpi, Fassi and Am in their ranks but beyond that point, no one stands out.
Now let's take race out of the equation and look at America. The most dominant group in the NBA is black. One could argue it their genes but in reality, there are many white tall players.
The reality is that being a baller is engrained in black culture. Most of these players grow up in the inner cities. Where players in their status on the court. Where as the white players have a hoop and a drive to practice, they don't have the entire hood competing.
How can this be similar to South Africa? You look at every white neighborhood in SA. What shape is the ball that the kids play with?
When kids break for lunch, are they kicking a ball around or are they playing with an oversized egg.
I just wish the politicians would stop this crap and acknowledge that sport is cultural and not only race. We have many cultures which rugby is the strongest amongst the whites.
Their black fragility can't accept that a white player can bring honour to the country.
I honestly can't say that any talented player of colour is being discriminated against other than white players.
SARU and the fans need to stand up. This race hating needs to end, once and for all
