Chris lightning you are spot on 👍🏼

That's what I just noticed.

Excellent

Spot on. Boris Johnson is a disgrace. A man who can't stay loyal to his wife can never be loyal to his country.

I'm a teenager in Canada but originally from India. Over here kids laugh at people who speak in an Indian accent because it seems different and harder on the tone than the Canadian accent. Holdings accent would have been mocked if he wasn't talking about this issue. But we as a cricketing community know his importance to the game, his contribution to the game, and the respect he commands as Whispering Death.

His moms was a teacher ......and he's a computer programmer by qualification. He used to work for Barclay's in Jamaica as a programmer before they left in the early 80s.....fortran and stuff I guess

He always has been. If only today's bowlers had his intelligence, cricket would not be dominated by batters like it currently is.

Exactly.......the last dumb thing a pacer said was that fast bowlers are not supposed to think for themselvs. ....of course that gentleman's career ended. Mr Steven Finn

@@RanjitSingh-em7lx when all rules are being made in favour of batsmen then no matter how intelligent the bowler is he can't do anything

@@ruchirmundhra6716 Especially the Lbw rule. It needs to change. Batsman can't just kick the ball if the ball isn't pitching in line

yep, absolutely. A beautful teacher and a complete man - smart, clear, passionate, honest, brave that he can allow his emoiton ot be seen as a man, and stylish!

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 cancerous crap is all that comes out this guys mouth

@@lionwithmanbun7204 Nah!...More like uncomfortably enlightening the ignorant.

Michael holding is a great man, magnificent speaker, brilliant analyst.

Michael Holding is not was.

Nasser. different from Nasir

john broad nobody is talking about property here we talking about racism ya fool 😆

that is why you have a Masjid in background hahahah

@john broad They're on the right side of poverty and toil because of their superior skill set so i don't see how that makes them hypocritical profiteers. These men had to work and practice day in, day out to achieve the many successes of their chosen career. You clearly don't know what you are talking about...... And your literacy is awful.

Mughals never enslaved indians. They had Indians as generals and members in royal courts

@@abhisheksikdar2329 Lol, Another Mughal offspring Dont know why Indians these days consider Mughals as their Forefathers, Indeed Mughals were better than Delhi Sultanate, Ghazanavids and Ghorids but still they were foreigner in all sense, Indians even Call Allaudin khilji a Great Ruler so what to expect whose people blindly trust what White Historians said.

@@abhisheksikdar2329 your history is written by mughal fan club, Study proper history. They were proud in taking lives of non believers, they looted India.

@@kunalsingh3121 u are the mughal offspring. All mughals were not bad. Most rajputs send their daughters to mughal harems. Judging by your name, u are more mughal than me. See if one of ur ancestors served in the mughal army

@@casperghost0secondsago594 ok true, but didn't english loot more mughals stayed permanently in india. So whatever they looted stayed in india But british exported wealth to uk

Let’s show the same love for the white South Africans and Zimbabweans getting their land and property taken because of the colour of their skin too please. This happens DAILY

@@oliverdesvaux maybe if their ancestors hadn't taken land that wasn't theirs and pushed a system that put them at the top and the indigenous South Africans at the bottom they wouldn't be getting "their" land taken now. White South Africans don't exist, only colonisers who don't belong there and should go back to where they came from

Same!💫

@@o.k.1170 woohoo!!! you went deep! Yowh!!!

@@denisebrown2994 white young Celtic man and proud, but I hate when people act like white people are sooo oppressed, especially them who’s ancestors settled in land that wasn’t theirs. Big love to Jamaica 🇯🇲

That is what made him the greatest fast bowler in the world

Every Civilization has been a conqueror so that isn’t true

CSP he’s talking about the current one you’re living in pal. The most recent conquerors wrote what we call history today. 😊

abami12 No, Germany lost but has history books. It's just another banal meaningless comment bandied around on KZfaq.

@@Susdhshsushs. You are dumb and uneducated. This subject is out of reach of your intellectual capacity

Annoying B'stard Annoying B'stard the rest of the western world should use their example call what is bad bad, colonialism was genocide, the worst in history due to the number of killings and the length of time in history.. You e learned the colonial side of history, take time to read what happened in Africa, India USA etc this time from the side of the people who were slaughtered.. the victims will have a different story from the conquerors who see that time as glorious empire days. The conquered see it as hell! And please don’t come with good happened. ...so someone rapes your wife and kids, murders your friends and neighbours and sells them off. Takes over your house but decorated it nicely and let’s you live in the basement introduced you to some new trades .. if you like that then there’s something wrong.. let’s call what’s bad what it’s is and learn from it.

Michael Holding a top notch intellectual on and off the field. God bless my brother.

Worst condition of lowercaste in india

@Abhi yes whole villages burnt in jhajjar

@@marketcrorepati5729 What is the condition of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh or even in Kashmir???

JIMIT JAIN agreed

@@thadtuiol1717 He never said its in their DNA. You better listen before commenting.

Michael Holding is saying a load of nonsense, especially that Police officer test. He is being an emotional idiot. He needs to get over his inferiority complex.

Your neighborhood friend And pray where do you think this inferiority complex comes from if not from everything that he just discussed?

Your neighborhood friend Test is real and has been discussed in America for a while. If you think he is speaking rubbish then you are one of the ones who need to look at themselves

Sports Freak yeh like the pathetic sheep you are. Bet you got blm on your Facebook or something 😂😂😂😂

Noticed that as well. These situations have happened to him, albeit not discussed as much until today

@distantvoices Despite all the "institutional racism", strange isn't it?

distantvoices still being made captain doesn’t mean everything (and the system) was all against you. But if he has stories where he’s been in uncomfortable situations regarding his race, it’s clearly not been all plain sailing for him either

@@Brownalebelly you clearly have no idea what institutional racism, or even racism is. If you knew what it was like to walk in the shoes of someone of colour who has experienced racism, then I think you'd be joining in with protests instead of openly showing ignorance and lack of empathy

I think all the white commentators should pay Michael reparations live on air during the lunch break, while kneeling and crying of course

@distantvoices - Holding certainly bowled with heat and possibly hate that series in response to Tony Greig predicting that 'myself and Closey and a few others intend to make them grovel'. It was still amazing theatre from the safe side of the boundary that day and on youtube today.

@distantvoices Was that the same kind of hate that Lillee and Thompson had during that period that seemed to be acceptable. Grovel off mate...

@distantvoices I don't think so. He bowled really well and fast but not with hate other than the natural (on field in contest) hate that any bowler has towards a batsman.

@@deloniusmonk4923 They were white so it's alright

@distantvoices 22 year old 95mph bowler, what do you expect him to bowl? Pies?

We Indian should stop doing Hindu Muslim aswell.

agreed it should be required watching

sourav halder agreed

Hell awaits you

Totally agree with m8 in every school and college constantly. peace and love. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧

You need to read the Yale study he quoted

Really?

I have been a fan of yours since the1975 / 76 tour of Australia 🇦🇺 and now for the rest of my life.

Howard Smith even when he kicked the stumps in NewZealand after the LBW decision was turned down, you could see his passion and also what was happening during that time with umpires

He was a legend on the cricket field and now beyond the boundary...

Maria Mckie absolutely can’t argue. His awareness of the social scenario has always been spot on and very passionate. Even during the 2010 spot fixing scandal, he was in tears when he got to know Mohammad Amir’s involvement. He feels it from deep within himself and that’s what make him special...

When will he address the lack of ethnic diversity in the West Indies team? The big hypocrite.

@@nguyendailam6703, they are a few of East Indian ethnicity in WI cricket but for Caribbean white people they tend not to like to mix. Anyway there is now a white WI cricketer named DaSilva from Trinidad and Tobago

@@nguyendailam6703 Maybe it's because Unlike lesser sports, Cricket demands a "diversity" of pertinent skills, not just the superficial diversity of appearance...

@@nguyendailam6703 Why did you call him hypocrite. The two main ethnicities are African and East Indians. The two countries that have most Indians are Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. Most Indians excell as batsmen or spinners; with the exception of Ravi Rampaul few other fast bowlers. In Trinidad, East Indians are more passionate I believe at local/club. The rest of the WI are mainly Africans and competition is keen. I never heard East Indians complain about having fewer picks on the WI team. We may complain about the composition of the team based on nationality; not by race.

When will he address the lack of ethnic diversity in the West Indies team? The big hypocrite.

The stats Ebony presented were informative. One reason for lack of representation of black cricketers could be because few state schools devote much time to cricket, unlike independent schools. I went o a bog standard comprehensive and we only played cricket for a couple of weeks and that was using tennis balls.

First talk about caste discrimination in India then go n support BLM ....YOU hypocrite

Get a life.

What are you talking about, did he not say his mother's family stop talking to her because of the colour of his father skin? Is that classism or racism?

@@patorr69 isn't that what he said ?

There are many leaders saying same thing again and again for years But how many people have voted for them??

Ranjit Singh Nope he is just a race baiter

@@missiongamer4494 Mission not accomplished Junior...

@Khalid Hasan Khan ,WELL SAID. STAY SAFE.

I wasn’t aware of him before this video. I can see the passion in him, but being emotional doesn’t mean you’re right.

@John Smith Nah! Shows pseudo intelligence...

they don't deserve it

Maybe, but Michael Holden sucks as a commentator.

Ray Sat He’s one of the best there is.

distantvoices Yes, but systematic racism exists which makes black lives matter less compared to others.

What is sick about having diversity of opinion? By all means be a corporate shill, but don't for a moment think that those who have a different view are somehow sick. I disagreed with alot of why Holding and Ebony in particular had to say, but thankfully they are in a country where they are free to say it.

Bless you pal 🙏🏿🙏🏿👊🏿👊🏿

David Meldrum excellent clip

@Tucker Bore off Troll

The bit in brackets wasn't necessary.

@Tucker why?

Same thing uppercaste do with lowercaste in india

One side sounding off without being challenged? You should read the Yale study he referenced, the black teachers were watching the black kids more and the spread was hardly the constant monitoring he claimed. There were also noted in the limitations section highlighting any movement the child actors made outside of the exercise could have affected the teachers looking at them. These are dangerous times and all people need to be careful what they're saying, is a study that's 4 years old an accurate reflection of today?

@@mattpears1402 - so the racial bias is now ok because the black teachers also exhibited those traits? That's just clearer evidence that it's systemic and learned behavior. 42% of the teachers said the black boy needed attention. You think Michael Holding is saying anything controversial in his statements? You really think much has changed in 4 years? Ferguson happened in 2014. The exact same thing is happening right now. Doesn't appear like much change. Any way, what is there to challenge. What is the 'other side' to the debate. That black lives don't matter?

SuperKimjong For a start, racial bias is not systemic. Racism is as old as different races interacting. Racism has been prevalent throughout in different societies and civilisations for 1000s of years. My problem with the Black Lives Matter movement is that nobody makes clear what they’re protesting and if you go on the BLM website, you can see the intentions behind what it’s become. But as the website is the only thing suggesting any outcomes wanted, I’m forced to assume that is what is wanted. The website is just Marxist propaganda, which is very dangerous.

@@adamadams7314 this whole movement makes me feel like I've done something wrong. Like I'm guilty for something which is why I don't support it.

@@adamadams7314 Racism has been around for 1000s of years so we should just accept it? The human race wouldn't have got very far with that attitude. I can't see anywhere on their website where they claim to be Marxist either.

“Enoughly matured to understand the situation”. Care to explain? I heard fallacies and emotion during this speech.

Thad tuiol not defending India but our insecurities stem from the fact that a section of people in India do feel victimized for a long time considering they’re a majority of section in the country,it’s a complicated country with an even more convoluted system and constitution,it’s more than what meets the eye, I’d dare say managing the western world is much easier than a country with multitude of religions,cultures,languages etc like India

@@thadtuiol1717 you have been brainwashed about India come here to india see reality !

@@thadtuiol1717 Wow. I bet you don't even know half of the words you just typed in your comment. Well done on passing the wokeness test.

shailesh hegde Agreed India has a complicated history and a messier present, but how convenient is it for us to sweep institutionalised discrimination in our own society. And what about our own attitudes to Africa and black people in general? Bringing up BJP and Hindutva in this context does suggest an axe to grind. However these are people that are riding the wave of religious bigotry with their incessant dog whistling as well as propagating an orthodox view of Hinduism that is firmly grounded in (what looks like) an upper caste worldview. It’s much easier to critique other peoples.

@@yvnkishore I agree with you. We need to speak up about all the discrimination taking part in our society. Unfortunately every party in our country comes to power by riding on the wave of bigoted sections of society. This makes it harder to fix these problems. It's also harder to fix since it is so ingrained in the society

Yess.

Respect Mickey white people who loves black people love us but the ones who hate will die hating us that will never change in this lifetime

it has never been sum up so well

@g.g he nasser was born in India and brought in Eng

he has 4 kids by 4 different mothers. LOL try blaming that on racism

Yes, we can't just rest.

What’s still an issue? What is wrong today?

Talib Khan what are you referring to specifically?

This country is arguably the most diverse and tolerant in the world - do you honestly believe we have the same problems as others around the world?

Mark F maybe if you live a life where your existence is ‘tolerated’ you will know what everyone is talking about.. when you tolerate someone you’re not welcoming them you’re putting up with them. LPeople who fought with Britain during the wars but no one knows because they are not acknowledged openly On the contrary The colonisers,were welcome as trading partners in Africa but instead massacred populations around the world, wrote history that makes people look less. Divided people and lumped together people groups who didn’t speak the same language or have the same culture into countries of today guaranteed to create wars. Removed progressive governments, dictate the price of materials… [fair trade exists because trading is unfair. ] Farmers that grow cocoa for example live in extreme poverty in a multi billion pound industry, it is structured that way. The history you learned makes it ok for you to say people are tolerated and see it as a good thing !

Sikhs should also protest the caste system which is part of the Guru’s DNA but still is rife in their community. Do the work Guru Nanak would have done.

@@cinesoda2082 Your right we will overcome soon

@distantvoices typing colonial apologists. People like you is the reason why racism exists

distantvoices well millions of people killed! 1000 years old languages wiped out ... countries thrown into poverty! You clearly belong to those who doesn’t know anything about English colonialism

SHETTY ANKET why? And what do you propose? How should people act?
