South Africa fast bowler Andre Nel said he was racially taunted on Wednesday by a spectator at the Sydney Cricket Ground

1. It sounds like one fan.

2.If white people don't understand that black people generally hate their guts, they are delusional. To expect government or some kind of authority to back up a white male in an abusive or hate crime situation they are stupid.

Because I know these things to be true, does that mean I have to hate them back? No. It does mean I need to take each man as a man but also understand that going down to South Oak Cliff may get me killed because I am white. A black man going into Highland Park will not.

Maybe, but that one fan felt quite comfortable in yelling racist epithets in a packed stadium.  Being surrounded by a gang of like-minded comrades helps to embolden people in this way.

I'm not sure how black people got into this matter, as nothing pertaining to black people was mentioned in the article. At any rate, count me as delusional then because I don't go around thinking that way....I take everyone as they come and try to get along with all.

To expect government or some kind of authority to back up a white male in an abusive or hate crime situation they are stupid.

Trying to work out your grammar here.....is it the government that's 'stupid' or someone who expects Government to uphold the law that's stupid?

I expect everyone to be treated equally and if they're not, in the USA we have a thing called the Bill of Rights that the Government is supposed to enforce.  Granted, the enforcement of it isn't always perfect, but I would not go so far as to call the expectation of such enforcement as being "stupid".

But that's all irrelevant anyway because this event occurred in Australia.......

Because I know these things to be true, does that mean I have to hate them back? No.

That's good.

It does mean I need to take each man as a man but also understand that going down to South Oak Cliff may get me killed because I am white. A black man going into Highland Park will not.

I'm not sure where those areas are that you refer to, but it sounds to me like a very straightforward recognition of where the high crime areas are.......
