Interesting article on the BBC about South Africas only white player -

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/simonaustin/2009/08/south_africas_white_knight.html

Funny how in South Africa they have a quota system in white dominated rugby in which the national team has to have a certain minimum amount of non-white players (irrespective of ability), whilst this is not the case in black dominated soccer!

Matthew Booth is a towering figure as a defender. both because he is 6-6, and because heis likely the best player on the South African squad. but, despite his athletic prowess, his personal and political life exhibit the characteristics that have caused White people around the globe to face the problems we are currently facing.

Boothis married to a black woman, and he is outspoken about helping the black community in South Africa. however, he does little more than pay lip service to White people's plight in his nation, and doesn't seem to be troubled by his abandoning his own cultural and geneticheritage. he cares more about "giving aid" to blacks as a groupthanhe does about his own people.

he has forsaken everything that made him great in order to assist those who want people like him to become extinct. this kind of bizarre decision making in order to betray one's own heritage for that of another group's ... well, let's just say it boggles my mind.
