[andre samuel]

Putting aside the fact that Sat is a racist for a moment....and yes he is.
I've met quite a few in the Maha Sabha that are.

I've also met many black ppl that automatically back a black athlete vs. a non black athlete - every tıme.

Some are racist but some refer to it as racial pride.

I can understand as I always feel good if I see India do well in ınternational sport - teamwise or indivdually. If İndia had been in this WC I would have backed them vs every team except Trinidad.

The point of having our own locals speak to the players is a great idea, many would have been wide eyed to have a Dwight Yorke, Latas or sancho speak to them.

However, ıt would be also inspiring to have a fellow İndian speak to you. Remember many Indians share a very simıliar culture and can immediately relate to each other no matter what part of the world they meet in.

Back in the 80s an All Black team from England came to TT, nobody had a problem with it.

Yes sat is all about Indıans but there is a postıve to be derived from this even though it has to be connected to the MS.

i understand your point vb, but you must understand that WE, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO had a team in the world cup!!

most people use race to support teams but not when their national team is in the fray! If Trinidad ditdnt qualify for the world cup then i might have understood, but here, we have our own heroes right here and he has decided to look for an INDIAN LOOKING individual for motivation!!

Sat has shown many of us that he is INDIAN first and Trini second!!

once again, we have decided to show the world, through sat, that we are small minded and dottish!!

ah vex!!

[palos]

Sat has shown many of us that he is INDIAN first and Trini second!!

No part a Sat Maharaj Trini sah.  He Indian and Indian only.  In he mind anyway.

[redtrinigirl]

Yeah, well like he never come across ah real indian. Dem indian here in London would spit on he if he play he want to come rub shoulders with dem. As far as they are concerned only the lowest of the low casts were "shipped" to the caribbean and elsewhere. They not even worth a glance. So all dem who feel dey so indian, they better get a grip and think of demselves as trinis, full stop.

Lawd have mercy  ...well you just spike some people blood pressure gyirl

Ay I takin ah breather from de wukk...ah goin and get some popcorn and see how dis play out

[dcs]

I don't know about the contact sports thing he said.
Anyone know more about this? (not baseless speculation or heated opinions)

The article didn't rule out a member of the team also talking to youths...who knows if that on the cards.
Not sure if they will be able to address the contact sports thing though...what suggestions you'll have for that if in fact is something prevalent in "Hindu" homes?

[redtrinigirl]

My mother always told me, is only dem indians who never live abroad who does get on so.

Cause de ones who do know two things:
* In the eyes of the white man, if yuh not white yuh black

* In the eyes of real indians, people of indian descent from our part of the world are considered descendants of the lowest casts, cause upper cast indians would never have left india under those circumstances

Everytime I read some nonsense like dis in the papers home, I just shake my head. Is only in T&Tthey get on so.

[MickeyRat]

Ah really think we need to cool-off a bit because this go really got out-of-hand.

How does a man born in Mauritius , who  has never even seen Trinidad or speak English for that matter have a similar cultural background to any Trinidadian ? It is just illogical. I've interated with Senegalese, Ghanans and Nigerians and they are nothing like Caribbean people. I've also Interacted with Indian and they behave nothing like us. They have had different historical evolutionary paths in their respective nations. All these diasporadic people are not only divided by thousands of miles but hundreds of years. We are not Africans or Indians we are Trinidadians and Tobagonians.

Sat is a nasty racist and this is just another demonstration of his backward thinking. The idea is to bring an "Indian" man to come talk to our boys. That rationale presumes that the children have the same racial complexes as he. Take my stupid advice when I say that the likes Dwight Yorke and Carlos Edwards or any other Soca Warrior for that matter is more culturally compatible with hindu boys in Trinidad than Vikash Dhorasoo.

One last thing the comment about the black team coming from England in the 80s , I would have been a small child at the time. I don't know about it , but if it was for the same reason Sat want bring that frenchman here I would have been just as upset about it.

JahGol you're sounding ridiclous now. To say that an Indian from Mauritius has nothing in common with Indians from Trinidad and Tobago and that Senegalese and Ghanans and Nigerians have nothing with Africans from the Caribbean is ,at best, silly. There are myriad similarities.

We all know who Sat Maharaj is and what he stands for. We know the he speaks for many Hindus, not Africans, so if he wants to invite someone who is of the same "ethnic" background as he and his followers to help inspire the Hindu youths let him. Why should that bother us, the non Hindus. The only objection that I have with it is the use of government funds to do so.

Question for the forumites: If he had invited the soca warriors to speak to the Hindu youths wouldn't we have thought him to be hypocritical since we all know that he doesn't care for African peoples?
At least he's being consistent.

What others consider you to be is irrelevant, what is relevant is what you consider yourself to be. Many whites left Europe and emmigrated to Africa, the Americas, Australia, New Zealand etc are they considered any less white that those in Europe? I think not. Is only Africans and Indians who does get chain up with that chupidness.

I doh care what anybody else on the planet considers me: I am African, born in Trinidad and Tobago.

[Behbehman]

Sat an dem doh want no African ethnic ting tuh contaminate dey Indo ting...allyuh eh understand dat yet? If Sat and dem eh accept the blessed national instrument (STEELPAN) yuh tink dey go accept the SocaWarriors?  Trini football was always dominated by Afro youths...jus check who playing for Naps in the Intercol.  Leh Sat do wuh he want...Sat eh no Trini tuh he heart...he still sucking the breasts of his mother India...leave Sat alone...leh he stay in he ignorance.  "Where ignorance is bliss tis folly to be wise.."

[truetrini]

malcolm say day but doh make it seem like he is de fus tuh use dat term..
Now u nto the original topic/issue, I agree with you 100%

But sat is ah racist, and what does the race of any particular player have tuh do with motivating youth?

dont you feel that michael jordan serves/serverd as a role model to white children?

on the other hand, birchall served as motivation for one of our u-15 white players recently.

so does sat have a point or not?

[ON DE BLOCK]

Sat apply for ah radio license an get turn down, Loui LeeSing apply after Sat an get thru, Sat say 'like is ah race thing', an appeal the matter, the TNT  AG  say no radio license fuh you, Sat matter end up in England. Now Sat not only getting radio and TV facilities he getting money in de tune ah millions thanks to we PNM and taxpayers money for wasting them englishmen time, the moral of the story, when one set ah racist try to stop another set ah racist ,taxpayers lose.

[danibaby]

On the good side of this move we should end up with a greater pool of national players. Just a thought for Sat and those still seeking the truth: You're not an Afrikan because you're born in Afrika. You're an Arfikan because Afrika is born in you. It's in your genes, your DNA, your entire biological make-up. Whether you like it or not, that's the way it is."...Dr. Marimba Ani

[truetrini]

next ting big teeth people without ah dental plan go want ronaldihno tuh come tuh T&T at government expense tuh motivate dem!

[MickeyRat]

next ting big teeth people wqitout ah dental plan go want ronaldihno tuh come tuh T&T at government expense tuh motivare dem!

Oh god oye!

[Jefferz]

no serious... can someone bring Bobby Charlton to come see me... becuase as a white person I simply dont feel motivated...

[Disgruntled_Trini]

my father is Potogese wha bout me
who bringing Figo or Miguel to talk to the black Potogese youths

[Andre]

my 5 cents (TT)

i leave trinidad as a youth in 89 so i eh know bout this politics but:

1. who in trinidad eh mix in some manner? i would bet good money that more than one soca warrior who reperesent t & t in the world cup have some east indian grandmother or great something or the other.

2. dhorasoo is a big player. once the world cup done he must be getting 2 weeks off before pre-season training. HE EH COMING TRINIDAD! so allyuh making much ado about nothing.

3. i agree with what redtrinigirl saying.

4. i feel this sat fella either hiding he dougla background or get horn or reject by a girl of african descent.

all ah we is famalee.

make dougla. not war.
