South Africa threaten "third world war" over Semenya

which country are you from dude?

Again the way it was handled was totally wrong and that is why SA is upset. Growing up as a black in SA and having this story of your private sex life on television, newpapers worldwide might not sit very well with the old generations that still believe in old tradition. This poor lady will have criticism thrown at her all her life. How would you feel if this was you and you sex life was shown all around the world..would you still feel that justice has been served...

[KzrrainzYes]

I would go through the tests to figure out what I was before getting myself into such a mess.

And would I still think that justice would be served? Nice strawman. I don't think justice is served because of her inevitable humiliation, but because a judgement about whether or not the medal was fairly earned can be made.

@Durbs4all It would be worse if she was White...

South Africa ...You're lucky if you're Black

Kzrrainyes, don't believe everything you read. If you do then you not as intelligent than you think you are. I feel sorry for this girl. Her whole sexuality is world wide news, something that should have been dealt with privately was blown way out of proportion. I wonder if they would do the same if this was a western athlete...I wonder.....

[KzrrainzYes]

No, I don't believe everything I read. I don't believe the claims that Semenya is 100% girl and everyone else who thinks otherwise is wrong. Sorry, but I will not give in to the emotional guilt trips being put out. Yes, it should have been dealt privately, but its too late for that.

Are the race and gender cards are all they have to play to get people to agree?

[KzrrainzYes]

Threatening war because they were found out? What idiots.
