Micheal Holding on racism: Would bruise my knees until I go into my grave

Former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding says people won’t understand how it feels to face racism throughout your life. He says it is impossible to wipe off racism.

Former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding, a strong advocate of the Black Lives Matter movement, believes it is impossible to wipe off racism entirely from the world. Michael Holding was speaking on Sky Sports ‘The Cricket Show’ to mark one year since the murder of unarmed black man George Floyd in Minnesota by a white police officer. “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.
