Nash's parents are mixed race - in Jamaica they would be called "browning" - and the cricketing world has been carried away by the fairness of their boy's skin. During Nash's Test debut in Dunedin the cameras spent time focussing on his parents as they discussed the white claim. His dad compares his son's complexion with that of the French tennis player Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

"It's the happiest time for me that he's living and playing in Jamaica, I couldn't hope for more," Paul said. "They're not just my roots, they're his roots too."

...even more

these are westindian white people. I know these people, the type... very well indeed. hear dem talking about roots! incredible!

allyuh remember Gerry Alexander and Roy Gilchrist? if allyuh dont go checkt it out!

and den again what is the reality on the ground in jamaica currently eh? blac man doh have chance in Jamaica unless somehow he find himself part of the small blac middle classes. its ah brown and white society jamaica... and is slums fuh darkies.

it is all predicated on skin colour. sknash and dem were always allright in jamaica-in the westindies because they were considered white westindians and the society worked for them fully, has never stopped working for them. thats how they had money to migrate to Oz.

and LOOOK! when they get to Oz they had no trouble getting into Oz did they? and they have no trouble living there even now! they are not considered blac in Oz.

in those days as it is today a blac man getting into Oz is like an elephant going through the eye of ah needle. Oz remains a very racist society.

deh cyar get away with all this crap, sknash and dem, talking to people with any sense of the truth. sknash and dem left westindies because of the rise of the blac man.

if they knew the blac man would sell himself out and things would remain the same as they ever were they may not have left indeed. but who can see the future. and unlike CLR James they were far from smart enough to make an analysis that would reveal the future as he could.

if allyuh want to dance to that kind of music allyuh free to. I cant hear dat shit unless it is to demonstrate where it came from and where to put it now.. ask Paddy!

nash is not 'white' in the pre-abolition classification, he's mulatto, because he has African blood in his veins....

Granted, he's more white than black, but that still didn't stop the colonial masters from finding various fractions in mulatto qualifications to find for his ancestors.

you alright mike? yuh sure? why are you trying for a way out in this?

what ole marse do is one thing! what people skansh and dem to everywhere is to take marse side abd descriminate against blacker people than themselves.

westindian people like sknash and dem took marse side, make they own club, school, partied by themselves, kept all the best jobs for themselves qualified or not. when carnival come they make a band and tie a rope around it to keep blac from jumpin' with the band. deh even make an all-'white' steelband.

people like skansh and dem were worse racists than the actual white man..as if because they were one and 2 drop black man deh had to prove deh commitment to the white world.

I am a trinidadian and grew up there and I know trinidad 'white' racism' to be far worse that actual white racism. trinidad was full of racism in my day... and it probably still is. I will make a list of racisms in trinidad later and post it.

all dat is why I have no sympathy or concern with sknash. i cant! I grew up in the shit and it was terrible man..awful...traumatic. so eff skansh. if he was really good it might have softened me a bit. if he was westindian born I could accept his place. but not in this case. I would chase his rarse were I the one in charge!

Where is Hooper living happily? do you think he can do that in Guyana?
Where is Symonds living?
Australia has 3% population of aboriginal people no?

its not me who have to prove the questions that beg...is you!

how you know Hooper happy?

what kind of blac man is Hooper...the same Hooper who went to hansie Cronjes gravesite to pray fuh him?

would hooper be happy living among blac' people given the man Hooper, we have known for so long...even if things were as 'good' as they can possibly be among blac people?

it is clear Hooper does like blac people and feels aggrieved and victimised by the westindies and blac westindians. I dont know the intimates of his individual story and he may well have a case. but he cant have a case about fairness in cricket relative to him, for he was given every oportunity to play for the westindies, to lead the side when he was hardly qualified for that position.

to be justified Hoops grievances would have to be of a cause and location elsewhere than in cricket, in the social life into which he was born and formed an integral part of, in growing-up etc. westindian blac social life can be quite traumatic for intelligent and sensitive young westindians of african descent ( PAD...people of African descent)

and Hoops is nothing if not intelligent and sensitive! that he is indeed!

but anyway leh me tell you something about Hoops! Hooper happy like pappy just being among white people, regardles of how they may treat him. I get a sense of relief on Hoops part, being where he is and not among blac people!

thats the impression I have of that situation , of Hooper. Hooper is exactly the wrong example to use to try prove your point.

and hoops get into Oz because he was an inernational cricketer who married an australian.
Sobers did too. but he did not stay. he is home in barbados!

I dont know the origins of Roy but he is half white and Oz born.

in every white country in the world, no matter how lily, there has always been some kind of blac presence no matter how small. as in Russia for example, the story of Alexander Pushkin, who wrote of his main antecedent in a story called the 'Negro of Peter the Great,' the servant architect to the Russian Czar, who designed the city of St Petersburgh.

Peter the great commanded that a princess be married to his blac architect, which relation started the Pushkin line that produced Aleaxander, third generation up, the very greatest of Russian poets and literary figures... who was killed somewhere in his thirties, in a duel to address a racial slight to his name and family.

alexander was like Roy only more white. he did not..could not... have dreadlocks like Roy... and incidently like the great Indian historical figure, the emperor Dara Singh

but the origins of such people usually traces back to some condition like Peters architect..some kind of blac servitude, up high like Pushkins grandfather, or down low, and all the stages in-between

Will Nash return to Oz after he finish with WI cricket as a cricketer? Or will he stay on as I predicted, and get involved in coaching, administration, etc?
