Just over 30 former #Proteas players and coaches came out in support of @NgidiLungi #BLM and against any form of SYSTEMIC RACISM. Since then, the phone has literally been going off the hook, with all sorts of journalists wanting to know, “so tell us what happened to you?”
It’s as if people are expecting everyone to come out and say, I was called a ...... by this one and a ..... by so and so.( which has happened from time to time ) The issue really is that yes, while that hurts and is really not cool, it doesn’t “ROB ONE OF OPPORTUNITIES” in LIFE.
The stuff that really hurts is when people, by using their POSITIONS of POWER, uses that POWER to stunt your growth, by denying you opportunities, and in turn provide those OPPORTUNITIES to those that they favor, purely on the basis of the color of their skin. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
