Hence my questions, which I'll repeat here. Is Nigel assuming I am white ( and have guilt complex) or is he saying I am a black man with a white guilt complex?

My guess is he was trying to be funny and maybe stepped in it? But lets wait to hear from Nigel.

    What makes you think I'm white? Oh, Right.  I am not called Mandla
    or Vuyolethu so I must be white.  Unless you are suggesting I am a
    black man with a white guilt complex?

    Your comments says more about you than me inho.

        Greg, you've got some serious whitey guilt complex there.

           Because Africa is black, the vast majority of Africans are
        black.
            And because by far the majority of people who play, watch
        and run
           the game in Africa are black! The vuvuzela was used by black
           people at football stadiums where the majority of
        supporters are
           black.  It is only very recently that the vast majority of
        white
           South Africans - who are mainly rugby union supporters - have
           taken to the vuvuzela. You might think (delude yourself?) that
           when you say African you don't mean black, but African
        people know
           that when people say African, they mean black.  I have lived in
           South Africa a long time, and I can guarantee you that any
        black
           man or woman in this country will tell you the same.  It is
        born
           of a long history of colonialism and slavery by - amongst
        others -
           european settlers.  You cannot distinguish between black and
           African in this context.  Pathetic? I don't think so.

           But it is your second paragraph that intrigues me most.
        Would you
           care to explain how does football values get diluted by the
           competition being given to an African country?  Just what are
           these values you are talking about? And who gets to decide what
           these values are?

           I have been on the list for a long time, and I don't recall you
           saying anything about football values being compromised
        when the
           WC was held in Japan and Korea.  Or Germany for that
        matter.  So
           what do you expect me to think?

           Just to clarify : I am not saying that you are a racist ( I
        don't
           know you well enough to judge), but I am saying that your
           statement could be construed as being racist in its content.  I
           certainly picked it up that way.

               Greg,

               I said I wouldn't expect anything else from the
        Africans. So
               that means 'AFRICANS' I.e the people who play the game, the
               people who watch the game and the people who run the
        game. Why
               the fuck bring colour into it ? Pathetic!
               Just to clarify my point I was implying that football
        vlues as
               we know them are being diluted by giving the biggest
               competition in the world to countries like South
        Africa. Yes
               it's a world cup but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

                So, tell us richard, do you include the white africans in
               this?  Or only the black ones?

               Sounds like a racist statement to me.

               And anyway, if you took the time to look, you'll see
        lots of
               supporters in the colors of other teams blowing on
        these horns.

               The vast majority of the visiting supporters have said that
               the vuvuzela actually adds to the atmosphere in the
        stadium,
               and you cant walk anywhere without seeing Brazilians,
               Mexicans, Africans, Asians and yes, even pale faced
        europeans
               with the horns.

               So lets see, the tournament has started, the stadiums
        are all
               complete, no white women have been raped by big black
        men with
               huge horns (pun intended), no young (white) kids have been
               hacked to death, so what shall we moan about? Oh yes, the
               noise from the vuvuzela.

               Get over your white self  FFS
