    PLEASE WATCH THIS THROUGH TO THE END IT JUST GETS WORSE AND WORSE FROM ARIEL! ESPECIALLY WHEN HE GETS BAREMAN'S THOUGHTS ON IT.
    I can't believe he has nothing to say about Usman's words and doesn't even feel the need to bring them up during the interview with Dricus that he posted. Making it look like this was all a one sided attack from Dricus! Usman said Dricus will never be African despite him being born and raised there. Dricus' posts are in defense of himself.

You could be a Jamaican hertiage, born in nigeria, raised in new zealand who now lives and trains in Australia. So when someone asks what are you? They need to be more specific. Where are genes from? Where were you born? Where were you raised or where do you live. Or....in fighting, quite simply who do you represent?

    thank you so much guru for making a video on this I was so disgusted watching Ariel try and frame Dricus, I am a south African of color and we south Africans have gone through apartheid, a large majority if not all south Africans respect all people of different walks of life no matter the color. people of other countries are trying to be hurt for our struggles need to stop, they always manipulate our struggles for theirs and I hate it. we are a proud nation and is known as the rainbow nation for having different race groups. jus because you black doesn't mean you Africans, a lot of people are making it out that being black you are Africans, NO. Even south Africans don't like the way how Americans claim they are Africans but they haven't even breathed our air let alone their parent haven't also. Africans recognize Africans, and we don't recognize Usman and Izzy at all. they ran away when we struggled, took servant with them to have a better life, which is great for them and all but we would see Dricus as out first African champ. Izzy and Usman has no fans in African except Nigeria. bring their back sides to Afrika and I can promise they cant even sell a single pay per view. Dricus is a true African champ for representing Afrika proudly. Areil is trying to make this a race thing to build the fight. Izzy and Usman didn't even watch what Dricus say exactly. But we life in a society where all fames black people want to attach themselves to Africa's struggles, stop trying to be victims you cowards. and stop with this narrative that all white people in Afrika are evil. they were also forced by the law to do things to black people, they also protected black people and protested with us to end aparthied but was erased from history and even punished , their is videos online when apartheid ended whites and black people were celebrating together.

      I can make it make sense. The consistent standard is whatever hurts white people easiest in the relevant context is what is taken to be true.
      Where you’re born and raised only matters if you’re non-white and were born and raised in a majority white country. If you’re in, let’s say, Britain, and you’re non-White, you are more British than the people who have thousands of years of history there and built the country.
      If it is a non-white country, that nation’s identity is strongly connected with race and white people who live there are colonizers and not true whatevers. Whites are there as (uninvited) guests at best, unwelcome burdensome oppressive pests at worst.
      In a historically white country, race being tied to nationality allows white people to have a positive identity and just live their lives. It also allows them to treat others as guests, welcome or unwelcome, and to set standards in line with their history, values, behavior, etc. Thus, any white country must have membership defined in non-racial terms. This is necessary to deny white people legitimate status as a people. “I don’t see color; Britain has always been multicultural.”
      In the non-white country case, having a racialized national identity allows white people to be excluded from legitimacy and justifies various attacks on them so they live in a constant state of shame, and again can be reminded that they don’t belong and are uninvited blights on the indigenous population. “You are not truly African. You are just an invader/colonizer who oppresses the REAL Africans.”
      America is currently transitioning from a majority white country to a majority non-white country, so you see the shift from “race doesn’t matter so being white is illegitimate” to “We must see race and attack white people for being illegitimate” in real time. Again, it makes sense if you assume the goal is to hurt white people in whatever way is easiest given the context. It also makes sense when you consider Ariel’s background and what benefits him.

Du Plessis has every right to claim he's an African fighter. He is the only one who knows what it's like to live there every day. He's the only one who actually knows the culture.

    Dricus is the only person who never brought race into the equation. He stated some factual information about his status as the fighter who was born, raised, lives and trains within the continent of Africa. He's proud to represent Africa and his country of South Africa and he should be as is natural for anyone who's family has called a nation or region home for centuries. Why is this man not allowed to be proud of his country and Africa as a whole? The fact that Usman and Izzy took offense to a few facts from Dricus shows that they might be the ones with the race problem. They're projecting an insecurity about themselves by belittling and threatening a fellow African. They're champions, they can take the high road and simply ignore Dricus or politely disagree. Dricus didn't take anything away from them. He's simply building his narrative for his future title implications with some factual information that was by no means nefarious, but merely to garner more support and interest in his rise in the UFC. What he said was perfectly normal and at the very most could be interpreted as a simple jab at a couple potential future opponents. Anything beyond that is kinda disgusting and if you're reaching that far to grab onto some kind of race oriented narrative here, you need to reevaluate your thought processes instead of blurting out whatever you think gets the most views.

    I don't think people understand that it's a point of pride to be training and living out of Africa during an international career, when history has shown most people leave here to find success. Dricus Du Plessis and Cameron Saaiman are examples of fighters who are staying here in Africa and using South African facilities and training partners, not moving away to the 'first world' to compete on the same level. Ariel keeps asking why it's important, but who else is doing it from here? When Africa is considered third world and secondary and our facilities etc not regarded world class. It's not the same as a Canadian in America. Whenever people see success here they get the option from international gyms and teams and end up moving there because they think it'll be better for their career, and for the most part it has been. Now there is a chance to show the world that Africa can produce champions from within Africa and that will inspire so many people here at home who can build a potential championship career right here, making it much more realistic in a place with limited resources. Also, if you look at the pride of our South African rugby or cricket team, for example, it shows when they win a world championship, no one has any questions considering those teams are very diverse racially. We are the Rugby World Champions of the world currently and as South Africans we are very proud of that, and don't distinguish the white members of the team separately when celebrating. When we first became world champions back in 1995 it went a long way to unite the country as well. I think maybe people would be surprised how people of all races would be very proud if we have a South African UFC champion, and it would be celebrated by all. Here in South Africa there wouldn't be a question of 'if they are South African' or not, we have moved far beyond that and it's strange to see people harp on someone being proud of being African despite being white. I don't think you folk get what it's like here, maybe another good reason to get the UFC here at last and expose more people to all the diverse culture and beautiful country. It is called The Rainbow Nation for a reason.
