Why doesn't newspaper man Donald Woods like Stephen Biko at the beginning of Cry Freedom?

At the beginning of "Cry Freedom," Donald Woods, a white newspaper editor, is initially wary of Stephen Biko due to Biko's radical approach to anti-apartheid activism and his challenge to the status quo. Woods perceives Biko as a threat to his comfortable life and fears the potential repercussions of associating with him, given the oppressive political climate in South Africa. This apprehension reflects Woods' initial reluctance to fully grasp the depth of the struggle against apartheid that Biko represents. Over time, however, Woods's perspective begins to change as he learns more about Biko's vision and the injustices faced by the Black community.
