Look at all the nauseating unconscious racism on this thread. Ketchim basically arguing...
1. Black people lazy, incompetent and not good at business
2. Black people are the cause of poor West Indian cricket and cricket management
3. Indo-WestIndians will make better managers of WI cricket
4. Indo-WestIndians are genetically and culturally predisposed to be "more successful"
4. Blacks have an "entitlement" mentality
I believe, but could be wrong, that ketchim is muslim. If this is so, this is hilariously ironic, as the entire developed western world unconciously ascribes similar cultural determinism to the "savagery of Islam" and the "barbarism of the middle east". To them, the middle east is "backward and poor" and "deservedly so" because it is "naturally incompetent and uncivilized" and so "in need of proper guidance" (via outside intervention or the installment of proper western leadership and/or leadership models).
And of course ALL OF INDIA, during the 200 years of British Rule, a rule which saw 1.8 billion Indians needlessly dying, was viewed in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY by educated British elites. To the British Empire, the Indian was a "savage". The Indian was inept, lazy, unable to govern itself, incompetent at business, unable to even to think. During the Empire's 200 year rule, it was the White Man's Burden to civilize the Indian and "show him the way". Indeed, during the mass starvations in India in the 1940s, Prime Minister Churchill, in his memoris, said the starvation of Indians was their own fault, due to their laziness and inability to organise. The entire history of India, its economic workings, the exploitative nature of its relationship with the Empire, the various systemic forces at work, were not his concern. No. It was a "character flaw" and so they deserved what they got.
And this kind of racist justification was common at the time. Churchill called the Arabs of Syria and Palestine "dogs" and barely human". He was also behind Operation Windsor in Guyana which killed many people because "Guyanaese are too dumb to lead themselves". And so on.
And of course you have to also define what you mean as "success". The largest cricket administration in the world now, the BCCI, is hugely successful. It is also a hugely corrupt and exploitative institution. All "monetary" success also had a negative shadowside, and any "value" created is doing damage somewhere else in society. India today has one of the strongest economies in the world - in the 1700s it also had an economy stronger than the European Empires - yet massive poverty and the highest contemporary slave population.
So why exactly should we celebrate "successful businesse"?
Regardless, West Indies cricket doesnt need "less Africans", "more Indians" and "some smart Guyanese". It needs people working together, and it needs more organised cricket being played. That is all. A system in which primary schools, high schools, universities, domestic and national teams are all simultaneously socially integrated, yet managing themselves independently, and competing individually. And the only person who can implement this is a half Chinese, half Trinidadian. Cos all other races inferior.
