Darren Sammy reveals he was called 'kalu' during IPL

[Vapnope]

You do realise that in Africa it's common for blacks to be racist against browns and yellows?

Where did i talk about anyone outside south asia? We co-exist by looking down upon black skin people. I would hardly call it coexisting.

And why is it a problem for you, Pakistani peoples are not bound to take your permission on the looks of their potential wives.

Exposing their hypocrisy remains well within my right to express.

All the people living in so-called south asia are not from the same race, many people in northern Pakistan and KPK are naturally fair skinned so it is quite obvious they would prefer fair skinned wives like themselves and there is nothing wrong in that.

very sad , indians are born idiots .
sir aap log jo hamare altaf bhai ko kalia bolte hai ? kahe bolte hai ? batayiye ?

Are you seriously equating a mass murdering scum bag who unleashed target killing on people of karachi to this incident? You know what is Bori Band Lash ? Altaf Hussain and his goons came up with innovative idea where they used to make a person sit inside a sack close it and then beat people with metal rods and even use knives on them. After that they used to throw their bodies in gutters or some times in middle of market so that other people pay up protection money to him. He admitted to this fact in his various statements while being on live TV. He even has a case registered against him in UK bcz of his role in target killing of pashtoon and baloch and even urdu speaking people in Karachi. You Indians have love for him bcz he was your rat in Karachi not bcz he was some saintly being.

Fix your damn excuse of a racist country before you yourself become victim of such scumbags one day. The problem with being racist is that it doesnt just stay focused on one group but spreads like virus. First it is muslims then dalits and then even dark skinned barhamins that will face brunt of this racism.

Thats more like what @El Sidd calls tribalism.

Like our north and south. Our south is way more advanced on human indices. Our north controls political discourse.

Or like your baloch and pakhtuns versus your Punjabis and Sindhis.
Same equation.

Pushtuns make 15-17% of total population of Pakistan and if you visit pushtun areas you will find that not all pukhtuns are white as well. I am from a pukhtun tribe and i am not white complexion at all.

You are free to marry whoever you want but you cannot enforce your preference for a wife on other men of your area or Pakistan as a whole.

he became voice of muhajirs why ? why muhajirs voted for him making his party a significant enough to influence the formation of govt ?
it means there was some wrong done with muhajirs that they needed separate party ?

 

[masterchief_mirza]

Darren Sammy is right.

"Kala" and "Kali" mean black male or female respectively, and their meaning is context dependent.

"Kalu" sounds to me like it can ONLY be used as a slur. That is my interpretation.

 

[ARMalik]

Well, that is some RSS hospitality for you.

Indians are white lackeys. That is for sure.

Black indian kettles calling others Black.

I am NOT enforcing i am exercising my right to free speech.

Vote my foot , all was done by threats , like if you don't vote for us then your family is not safe. All was done by creating fear . Simply were hijacked .
If a Muhajir said anything about them they would kill him straight away . We had two Muhajir friends , they praised Altaf when both were present so that the other doesn't complains about him . When alone they would abuse Altaf with typical Muhajir style , the rules doesn't allow me those words . . .

He started party on ethnic grounds and gathered Urdu speaking people around idea that Pashtoons and Balochis are polluting Karachi and trying to reduce their numbers. MQM had all the hallmarks of a racist party who preached intolerance and didn't wanted anyone to settle in their areas. Prior to MQM karachi was a city of peace and had no target killing or crime. Please at least try to read ideology of Altaf Hussain and their background before coming to their rescue. Like i said you have love for Altaf not bcz he was a saintly being but bcz he killed his own fellow country men.

It’s nothing but racist. What’s even more surprising is Indians on here attempting to defend it. That’s speaks for volumes of the quality of Indians we have on here.

Former West Indies skipper Darren Sammy has revealed he faced racism while playing for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Indian Premier League as he was called "kalu".

The Peshawar Zalmi captain said that he did not know the meaning of the word back then and it was only recently he discovered what it meant.

"I just learnt what that kalu meant when I played for Sunrisers in the IPL. They called me and Perera by that name. I thought it meant strong Stallion. My previous post tells me something different and I am angry," the former skipper wrote in an Instagram story.

As the voices against racial discrimination grow louder, Sammy has not taken a back seat and has been active in voicing his concerns over the matter.

"For too long black people have suffered. I’m all the way in St Lucia and I’m frustrated. If you see me as a teammate then you see #GeorgeFloyd. Can you be part of the change by showing your support," he wrote, urging his supporters to act.

Calling out the International Cricket Council, he said that he wanted to "hear" its voice and that "now is not the time to be silent".

"@ICC and all the other boards are you guys not seeing what’s happening to ppl like me? Are you not gonna speak against the social injustice against my kind. This is not only about America. This happens everyday #BlackLivesMatter now is not the time to be silent. I wanna hear u," he added.

Since the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, protests have erupted across the United States and the UK, with the masses demanding an end to racial discrimination.

The protests, sparked by a police officer kneeling on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes as he pleaded for his life, took place amid a roiling controversy over officers' use of force against largely peaceful demonstrators.

When someone calls me paaaki, I don't mind. That's what I am. I kinda like this word, it make me unique.
If they are Kalu, then they are Kalu. Why so serious? Are they ashamed of best skin(quality wise) that Allah has made on earth among humans?

They'll never admit it, but caste programming causes this at a subconscious level. Without realising it, middle class British Hindus and Sikhs routinely engage in casual racism and discrimination, whether against blacks, Pakistanis or Muslims in general. We vividly recall the slurs against Moeen Ali from Indian supporters at cricket matches in UK. They can't plead ignorance either since they clearly aren't from the lower rungs of the socio-economic ladder. This is all due to sanghee programming, not the ignorance of poverty. Don't get me wrong, plenty of Pakistanis engage in such casual racism too, however, it is much less in incidence because (a) being on the receiving end from Indian sanghees has caused our community to reflect and realise it is not a productive pattern of behaviour to engage in, and (b) Islamic principles wholly discredit racism and caste discrimination.
