Legendary cricketer, Michael Holding, becomes emotional as he speaks of the racial prejudice his family has faced during a discussion about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Holding, who now works as a commentator, spoke as part of Sky Sports' team for the match between England and the West Indies — a multinational side with players drawn from English-speaking Caribbean nations, most of them former British colonies. The team's rivalry with England has at times reflected the role of the British empire and the colonial legacy in the Caribbean.

Holding, who is covering the match between England and the West Indies this week in Southampton, England, was speaking after giving athis week in which he stressed the need to end"institutional racism." "The dehumanization of the Black race is where it started. People tell you, 'That was a long time ago, get over it.' No, you don't get over things like that."

She assumed, Holding said, that because she was white and the man Black the police would believe her side of the story immediately.

What about Blue Lives Matter? Where is the media on the 2 state troopers who get killed answering a call? Where are the protesters standing up for our police officers. Where are the black lives matters leaders for the young black children being murdered by criminals

'Legendary' doesn't mean what it used to.

Please stop kneeling. Mr. George Floyd was killed by cop kneeling on his neck. JUSTICE FOR BREONNA TAYLOR AND ELIJAH MCCLAIN AND ALL THE MANY OTHERS.. use your voices for that.

NBC so desperate to report on SJW events they are now covering cricket. 'Legendary' lol

LOSERS

Very sad I don't think the legendary cricketer understands that , Black Lives Matter is a Marxist political organization. According to Patrisse Cullors BLM co-founder.

Pfft

Well I guess I won't be watching any more cricket.

BS

It doesn't have to do with racial prejudices. It deals with black people being shot by police. Blm is not a blanket effort to help all black people. In fact it's a scam. They have collected hundreds of millions of dollars and helped no one.

Who the fuck is watching Cricket? I'd have to google that to know what kind of sport that is..

You’re so soft dude. So soft.

What a bunch of crap.

We will never forget arab and atlantic slave trade 💪🏿

😂 Anecdotes is all they have. Strange..for such an opressed group they work in all jobs next to white people, hold office and walk around with their iPhones wherever they choose. Sounds like opression 😂😂😂

More OH po po me crap.

This 👇history should not have to be repeated. 😥

Do they paint little numbers on the crickets and race or just see who can catch the most perch. 🤔

England has a real race problem. You don't see stadiums full of people shouting racist things in unison in the US. Well, maybe in Philly.

Shut up. No systemic discrimination in America.

Who gives a DAMN.... FAKE ASS NBC

💛💛🖤🖤 💛 God is the union of all peoples 💚💚💚 Life and Hope.

Is there really such a thing as a “legendary cricketer”?

boo effing hoo

Did you know that people of all races have stories of racial in justice including white people. Black people don't own racism.

Racist BLM killed a black 8 year old girl

Many a times haunting past haunts. Emotions get surcharged. Surcharged emotions find a release through tears. Otherwise on the field he was a lean and mean machine extracting fear from the geared ones.

Legendary cricketer 😂😂😂 stop

So if we hold up a 'white power' gesture, would that be okay?

A legend of the game

Oh, f*ck, what people can’t say they’ve been discriminated against at some time? Media, stop only focusing on black people. You’re making them sound narcissistic and are turning people against them.

LOL

It's 1967 and the black panthers all over again

We will never forget arab and atlantic slave trade 💪🏿

Cricketer... 🤣😂🤣😂

yeah, the simple fact that there is black cricket players kind of proves that the racial prejudice they claim, doesnt exist. kind of like black B/Millionaires claiming they dont get an equal shot at being rich. get the f-q outta here.

Yes, dehumanization. Africans brought to this country and elsewhere as slaves were literally treated as livestock. They were bought and sold, encouraged to procreate so their progeny could enter the commercial pipeline and domesticated by refusing them education.

This is powerful! Excellent work, Mr. Holding.The people who believe 'politics should stay out of their sports' Obviously don't care about the athletes that entertain them so much

Whatever

This sign is racist no power in no human in no color in no crime in no groups the only power in the creator all of this is BS.

Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?
