I dont know if you are reading this Ashwell Prince. We love you!
I can relate to Ashwell Prince's brother's story. Growing up I had enough talent to represent South Africa but because of limited opportunities I gave up on my dream.
Why did you pray for limited opportunities? Makes no sense. Why not pray for an opportunity
Racism did not just disappear when Mandella become SA president, I have met many SA's in London, who still have this rasist attitude, they still think people of colour are below them, I am talking as recent as 2020. Its a shame, what we hear in the media is just the tip of the ice-berg. Good of Prince to talk about this openly, stay safe brother.
I've many white ex-South Africans in Australia and none of those I met, displayed racist tendencies.
"There's only one race, which is human race." Please everyone don't judge people colour of the skin. Ashwell Prince, you spoke your whole heart, mate. People in the world one day will realise colour of skin doesn't matter. Let's make the world a better place, humans.
Ashwell prince was a very good batsman,played some very useful knocks for SA,had an average of above 40 in both the formats,sad that such a good batsman went through this much
11 Test hundreds and 11 Test fifties in 6t Tests batting I the lower middle order. That takes some doing
Actually he was one of the best SA batsman and for years would get picked, make a century, get dropped... Get picked when one of the white boys were injured, make a quick 80 runs, get dropped.
Casteism in india is very similar
Jitendra Chaudhary what?? Casteism is the main politics in Indian cricket brooo😂😂 wake up
@Jitendra Chaudhary 😨😨seriously
@Jitendra Chaudhary my frd was an talented gymnastics performer he won lots of cups and medals from state competition but he didn’t get any in national level on cuz of his caste 🤦🏻♂️ happens bro India has casteism in everything
It was in past...Not in today's time ....in Cricket there is no casteism in India.....
@@mayaupadhyay2525 cricket is the only area where casteism does not exist 🤪 still you can't find players from lower cast because they don't have talent😂🤣
So motivating ❤️
Zimbabwe, Africa and windies have suffered severly because of racism and politics
Socialism
@@realabhinavarya lol. You're right . A lot of the issues in those countries are due to the fact the government has a lot of control over the economy and has tried to redistribute wealth.
@@realabhinavarya Are they socialist country? Specially SA
Underrated Batsman Ashwell Prince
The utter and bitterly sad thing for me is... will those who continue to practice and promote institutional racial discrimination especially in sport... ever comprehend what they have done and are doing. And I think this is a core issue to be dealt with in absolutely destroying racism and it's practitioners.
Zimbabwe had the reverse affect of racism. Many great white players were sidelined
Such an over simplification lol
lol...Name a white player player who was sidelined due be being white??? How do you make these up??
thobias7 pj moor Ryan Burl as of recent
@@ViratKohli-ke6pt is that being white they are dropped? Common dude...
zimbabwe has many whites leading the sport of cricket...I think you should talk about how mismanagement chased talent away. racism is out of question here
Nowadays White cricketers are facing Discrimination because of Quota system in South Africa Cricket....... which is the main cause of degradation of their performance in International Circuit
Nxah
But racism is rife in South African sport. What you see on tv is not what goes behind the scenes.
You are not South African or black you won't understand.
Don't cry. Stay strong
Power to u❤
That's why I'm against people using Quoteas again and again for highlighting quota system in SA. One must understand that such steps are needed to reduce racism.
This is the exact reason I don’t let my kids play sports like Rugby or Cricket, you know, the ones where government had to “step in” to ensure that players are selected based on race.
Whatever your opinion on the matter, the fact is that sport is about winning, not about race, which means that naturally the players who will aid the team to win, will be selected… if you don’t get that part of sports, you should not be part of the discussion. Playing sport for money is what we are on about, everyone one wants a piece of the action, and those that don’t get in on it, will always have an excuse. The age-old story of sour grapes… When you play cricket on school level and the 1st team is announced, the kids who did not make the team will always have something to say about those that did, “daddy sponsored the blazers, mommy sucked off the couch”, etc. The reality is simple, no one wants to talk truths anymore, to the extent that we have now invented new ways of talking k@K, we call it, YOUR truth, MY truth… oh dear lord have we derailed in a bad way!
We all know the kids who has some natural talent, the cocky ones, the ones that don’t listen to the couch, the ones that don’t pitch for practice, sometimes not even for the game itself and it is exactly there where the problem lies. You might have not been chosen, not based on race, but because someone involved in the sport judged your actions prior your arrival, (if you like it or not, this is how it works. Someone has got to take a chance on you and do so by judging your actions). You got off the Bus and spat on the ground, swore like a pirate, walked off with swagger, without helping anyone carry in any equipment. We all know those kid stars that did not make it and then blame everything else for the failure. Ask the white kid who did not make it, he tells you it is the “quota system”, ask the coloured kid who did not make it, he tells you “Its racism”.
The government want players to be equally represented, they incentivise this, not only on national level, but all the way from school level. Everyone is looking for the next kid who came out of nowhere and made it big in sports, the media loves this, it sells, it makes money, so don’t tell me that the odd are stacked against players of colour. The sponsors, club owners, managers, etc. all want money/winnings, so they select players who will win games, who manage easily and who will add value to the entire team/sport. It does not matter what colour the team is, it only matters if they win or not. This is true for managers, owners, and sponsors alike.
Do you honestly want people to believe that 6% of the population, makes up 100% of the players on the field and that 6% of the population makes up 100% of the fans, the sponsors, and the management, the money in sports?? Come on man, we are in 2022, not 1991.
I call on those who did not make it, who believes that “racism” is at play to step up, get involved in the community, to aid schools and community projects with becoming little league coaches, assistant coaches, or just simply arriving on the scene to support where you can. Help a kid get to practise, help a kid stay on the field, involved and/or just sit on a bench and provide the moral support so many kids strive for, or just some sort of recognition.
It is easy to sit here and speak of racism in sports, when schools always struggle to get old students involved, financial aid, etc. It does not help trying to label those in the sport as racist, the system racist, or to ruin the lives of those that have given their lives to the sport by calling them racist. The only way you change not only your opinion, but also the sport, is by getting up and staying involved, against the odds.
Being able to accuse someone, even if falsely, and then having them investigated, their name tainted, having their careers placed on the line, etc. is surely not suggesting that we live in a racist society where anyone must “suffer in silence”, or at the hand of any coach, manager, or sponsor. Perpetuating racism in sport, is the very reason why talented players end up overseas and refuse to represent SA and the politics it is currently peddling. Wake up, stand up and fill the shoes that was laid out for you. Those that want, will and those who are looking for an excuse, will find one.
Well said Ashwell prince. GOD BLESS
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Listening to prince makes me emotional….he has been through tough times …racism is evil and still South Africa is full of racism… not a lot has changed certainly economically
i see him vs india 2006 maybe i forgetting hee is play like wall
Unity in Diversity 🙏🏽
Ananya Sivaraman Diversity A.K.A. Raped into ONE!
Ashwell prince my all time favorite love u ,❤️♥️
Lovely to watch...and my heart goes out to people who've been discriminated against...not just colour
I'm from India...we have a PhD in discrimination...caste religion colour eveything
And our next door neighbour China...the only country in the world where racial discrimination is fully open with the full support of their CCP
What does this video has to do anything with india or CCP weird nonce
@@AgroKopite >pepe pfp
in india, it is not always with malicious intent. lack of education is also responsible for this
What do you want to say. Kindly figure it out.
Racism should be there. It is a good thing. There should be also discrimination on the basis of caste, religion and other things.
When transformation is done there should be 9 none white players in the starting 11....on any team wearing SA colors whether its under 12 or proteas and that will be a fair representation
@Rob lol slow down man lets be reasonable here.
Merit? Ofcause we can all trust that system.
Like for the past 50years everyone has been given a fair chance in this country.
No person ever restricted anyone from playing soccer... But with other sports we know some races have been.
Man me and you know this.
🤣 🤣
Eve 15 blacks on the field will not win
Pity sport education at black schools is so poor , our government let's our sport down as with everything else.
Sauth Africa becoming in same way gradually in recent days like Zimbabwe.
Ntini, Gibbs, Rabada, Philanders are good players. But what about the others..? Bavuma with his career 1 century in five years still in Test side. Recent days its becoming more worse...
What is his average??????
Dnt talk nonsense here😂
The funny thing is Jonty Rhodes was no better than him. Jonty said this himself he was not chosen because of his talent.
Harshal gibbs was not black. No?
Casteism...racism....shameful.....
WEll come BD cricket batting choch
I thought jack kallis
Jacque Kallis is one of the main guy behind the racism in the team
Things are being addressed now...and need to be, or else South Africans will have enough and all hell will break loose😂
Hopefully the cast system in India can be addressed too
Reminds me of the mentality depicted in Lagaan movie. Sometimes, It appears so surreal that South Asia colonies are today the best cricket playing nations in the world. The game was introduced to us to mock us as slave and today we have all managed to conquer it. Such a big leap for us South Asians.
have you seen casteist india, we people shall also look how casteist we are.
@@likelalitful hutus did a genocide of 5 lakh tutus in 1990s in rwanda..now the moment any black talks about racism he faces from a white, guys like you should pounce in and start saying that you guys kill your own blacks but i bet you wont do that .
.one wrong cant be justified by bringing on another wrong ...casteism is a separate issue and racism faced by indians by the brits is a separate one..you cant undermine one by saying 'hey look indian are casteists' because by doing that one could literally justify anything
Why r u so touchy when I brought in caste, those whose home is made of glass shall not throw stones at others, the upper caste who are casteist cry foul when they are subjected to racism, I find it hypocrisy at best
He should have been the next Brian Lara
Not a pleasant thing to hear from south African farmer player..
We all know about south Africa.. such a sport loving nation
so mr prince now what
Funny that it takes a yeat to remember something about racism not when they played
I’ll never look at CSA the same 😭😭
That guttural accent would peel paint...
Why not start a new african sport, you do have exceptional talent after all. Why bother with the colonial sports.... cofused🤔
Colonial Sport that they're better at playing. They take up important positions in the English team as well
You own all the damn resources....we arent campaigning to be ur friend
We want MONEY!!!!😂
You stole soccer from the white man. Show us what you can start
@@inasmit4510 yes and you stole yoga from us. Yoga is not in your bible. Yoga is Hindu. There are so many Afrikaner yoga studios in South Africa. Shocking !
Being better than you does not automatically rendered him good enough to be selected on merit ahead of another player Ashwell. You are damn right that colour should not matter. Why then are you so persistent that he should have been selected ahead of a white player just because he was a player of colour? Today the only colour that matters is the colour black. There is no merit any more (that is as of recently with this BLM sh!t). Just for the record, I am of the opinion that you were selected purely on merit. That you have served your country with distinction! And, I am saddened by the fact that you were not given more opportunities of representing your country. But let bygones be bygones and rather fight for unity and righteousness by speaking out about how important merit is. You cannot justify selection of a player just because he is black at the expense of a better brown or white player. Should that be the case, it is a slap in the face of meritorious players such as Temba Bavuma, Andile Phehlakwayo, Kagiso Rabada and one or two others. Let us move away from this colour garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree but let's first punish racist behavior that did injustice to people of colour
now cricket is moer toe ....jammerte
i still remember j rudolph and b dippener were chosen ahead of this taleneted opner i am not against those player but prince could have got chances depending on his number
I dont understand black lives matter theory.. We can clearly see how much difference we have then back in the days.. They have been given equal rights now.. You can see in every internatinal channels they are there, giving there experties in evey field.. so why this theory is coming.. dosen make sense now..
You are wrong prejudice still exists I was listening to Holding saying that there are so many black scientists with inventions but it's never told to us in schools why is that ? Why only white scientists are great in school books ? What will that impact on school going children ? These things are worth thinking about
Nee
It's funny when I see a coloured person crying racism but they're racist towards us Bantu people here in SA
O please you has been!
Quotas are reprehensible, you pick the best starting 11 to win the match “period”
Lol, Prince was an average player at best.
What about you ?
@@madsam9403 I'm rubbish, but then again im not a professional cricketer getting a massive paycheck....
@@Lambchopsalad don't say anything without knowing. only he knows what kind of pressure in his cricketing carreer
You are right
Price averaged in the 40's
Get ur freaking stats right....What the hell r you talking about😂
He didn't say anything when he was earning money playing.
Because he had to survive. When you in the system it's not easy to fight against it
He could not …self protection
I felt Ashwell was a level headed fellow.
Hard working, no nonsense.
But Marxist has got to him.
Will Take SA as a country down with him...
