People won't understand how it feels to face racism throughout your entire life: Holding

“Some people say things and don't even realise what they are saying or the effect it might have on a black person.”

It is impossible to completely wipe off racism from the world, feels fast bowling great Michael Holding, who would "bruise his knee" to the grave if he was still an active player but doesn't want anyone to take the gesture as "a tick-in-the-box exercise". Holding was speaking on Sky Sports' 'The Cricket Show' on the first death anniversary of African-American George Floyd, who died at the hands of a white police office in the Minnesota last year. "You will always have racism, always have racists. Getting rid of racism totally is like saying you are going to get rid of crime totally. It is impossible," Holding said during a panel discussion that also had former England captain Nasser Hussain and woman international Ebony Rainford-Brent.
