there s a basis to everything. everything runs a way that is relative to its base..how it functions and why... and everything is relative, nothing isolated.
west indies cricket is of west indies society and that functions..its history, how it came to be. when that is examined it gives up much of what I say about west indies cricket and the west indian nation, explaining much more than current west indian cricket failure but west indian social failure.
when west indian society as a whole is examined the very same failure of the cricket is even more fully expressed by the state of west indian society..all a collective failed enterprise. west indian society is easily in a far more catastrophic state than the cricket. west indian cricket is merely a sure and certain reflection of west indian culture..a content that is intellectually/emotionally poisoned, leaving the people/region by structure to produce social disaster.
the west indies is a product of criminal historical design by totally dominant exploitative powers, who built on genocide, factory based slavery and indenture and planned social division by deliberately putting together social elements..Africans, Indos, Chinese, Syrians etc who would have the greatest difficulty coalescing into a proper, integrated society in a region riven by ethnic and class divisions produced systematically by the way the society was put together and allowed to work.
n!ggers were at the bottom matched by numbers of Indos who have no love for Africans. these were given advantages on arrival that Africans never had. similarly the Chinese, then later Syrians were allotted the commercial sector while the whites dominated plantation agriculture and high, mineral extraction, high finance/regional administration. with a social pyramid that warranted all sectors to be at each others throats just to survive the west indies was just about hell on earth...
from the start to now that situation has poisoned the west indies by structure...a structure that is worsened by absolute forrin financial control that the west indian elites manage for forrin financial interests. the west indian elites now infest that forrin induced, created scorched earth exploitative structure, and the west indian governments are just the old colonial administration writ larger, modernized. the prime ministers are the equivalent of the old english governors sent out by the colonial office to run the region for england. still going on.....
the people are poisoned by forrin generated propaganda they call education. all the nations are bankrupt with rates like debt to GDP of +150%. Trinidad became solvent due to high oil prices..and is in serious trouble now that oil prices are falling. before high oil prices Trinidad was broke and insolvent as well. the debt/central bank based financial system has been bleeding the west indies like a stuck pig from independence. but the region was bled from day one in the search then for precious metals, followed by settler genocide of the indigenous, followed by cane sugar, coffee, coconut, cocoa, cotten etc... slave-based industrial agriculture.
that same rapacious system is in place. it is worse than ever, more complete exploitation than before, but minus the slave master with the whip..at least the white slave master. he has been replaced by the black master in the suit and tie doing a better, more cost effective job for the current forrin Marse
yet there is a west indian nation..2 sides of it..the black federated elite parasites and the west indian ordinary people, backward, stupid, miss-educated and totally exploited, all matter of crap imposed on them.
the solution to the west indian problem from all that development is self evident. the social pyramid must be capsized, old Marse finally driven away, the general exploitation ended and a horizontal society in the interest of all the people must be built. the solution is in the interest of the people becoming the principle upon which a new social organization is built. when that happens all will be well. the cricket will be renewed and will once again be top class.
only such a society would produce the quality of people who can do much more than play excellent cricket but excel at world class levels in all we do. right now all the old regime produces and promotes are jokers and Toms like Sammy and Jason Holder. the more subservient a personality is the further one goes in west indian society. and subservient personalities usually cannot do anything very well. like Sammy and Holder they certainly cant play cricket like the independent tough and creative personalities of previous times.
west indian society works to drive away all such personalities and homogenize things by the promotion of the assh0les who now populate the team. only when we have a society that does not fear strong personalities will we once again do well in the world. currently people like Holding, Roberts, Richards would not be selected no matter how good they are. and irony of ironies..some of those same players in power..{LLoyd for example} would go along with what is happening today..a situation that would have suppressed they themselves were they vying for places currently
