False. Things went south because of him.
Yeah Ronnie Everett was from Maryland.
‘Freeeeeeeeeeeeeee....Nelson Mandela.....”
I been watching lot of METV and Antenna TV
That new Movies tv network run by 20th Century Fox
“Mandela was the glue that held S.A. together”
Excerpt from a website:
In a development that was considered surprising by analysts and South African exiles who spoke with WND, the BBC also touched on the ongoing farm murders that have claimed as many as 10 percent of the nation’s European-descent farmers.
“Virtually every week the press here report the murders of white farmers, though you will not hear much about it in the media outside South Africa,” the report said...
“The government has so far been unwilling to make solving and preventing these murders a priority,” the BBC report continued....
Many of the victims, often children and babies, are brutally tortured before being killed.
The horrors have included drowning infants in boiling water, raping children, disemboweling whole families, dragging victims for miles behind a vehicle and other unimaginable atrocities.
Experts say the goal is to terrorize and eventually eliminate white farmers, with Genocide Watch’s Stanton and numerous other convinced that the ultimate aim is to establish communist tyranny.

Yes, he was really “the glue that held south africa together”, wasn’t he?
You have an opinion that differs from the herd. Nice to see!
Yep the guy was a Marxist and did some pretty awful things against a regime that was racist and corrupt and pretty damn evil itself, one that hid behind religion to justify it’s treatment of the blacks. I wonder if put in the same position any here would turn against their handlers/masters - we hear a lot of talk .....
It seems like it’s pretty damn easy to judge another’s actions from the comfort of our own comfy lounge chairs and not see things in context. Well we may see soon, if the your Marxist in Chief keeps on going whether your people will need to rise up - and if they do will they be Right Wing Terrorists or freedom fighters?
If Mandella and Tutu (as much as I disliked both) had not held the reconciliation council in the open as they did then we not be talking about white South Africans at all - there would not be any.
All stations have been showing video of him right where he should be.
I agree. He ruined SA. It’s a hovel now. All the companies left after his wife Winnie drove them out.
That he was a progressive, and that he wasn’t your run of the mill 3rd world African dictator, is why folks liked him.
They were not ready to lead and had too many radicals in positions of power when they took over - It is a great pity for SA that the transition to power was not longer. Governing is a totally different prospect than being in permanent opposition.
All I care about is will I ever get my 5 million dollars from Nigeria for giving 2500$ to that poor soul.
I rate Tutu as a lot worse than Mandela. He really is a despicable character, but I have respect for Mandela for the hardship he endured in the face of a regime that was full of Nazi sympathizers. And his ceasefire following the fall of the white leaders was admirable, compared to someone like Che Guevara who never stopped hunting and killing anyone affiliated with the Batista regime.
Apartheid was a great injustice, and it was right that it was ended, but people cannot ignore the apartheid that exists today in the country where white citizens are routinely murdered in horrific ways with tacit approval from Zuma’s government.
Nobody is perfect, in fact the vast majority of people are far from perfect, but I’m not going to spend my time slamming a dead man for his transgressions when we have real a55hole tyrants to confront, like Obama. Martin Luther King had some ties with communists. I don’t attack him in death because the good he did outweighed any poor judgements in his personal life.
All that being said, the media fawning is going to go on far longer than necessary. Notice how they had buried Margaret Thatcher in a day?
Just as a reminder, the African dictatorship did murder blacks during crackdowns, but the final bodycount, blacks killed by the government, was actually very low.
The dictatorship in Argentina, which was ended by Thatcher, had murdered over 10,000 people.
Shows how the leftist media pays attention to some ‘heroes’ over others depending on their own agenda.
Like I said, Mandela lived a long life and I’m sure he’ll be missed by his family. Let it go gracefully and pray that whites in the country do not suffer any kind of backlash in the restless nation. There are plenty of things to be sad about in today’s world, and the death of a 95 year old who achieved everything he wanted in life is not one of them. He’s in God’s hands now. Let Him be the judge of Nelson Mandela. It’s not Obama’s, the media’s, or our place.
Jacques Barzun wrote THE BOOK on the very subject - 500 Years of Western Civilization. Outstanding book.
It’s a repeating pattern - revolution, elation, disillusionment, struggle to regain control, cooption, then corruption.
Barzun had that whole thing whittled down to three stages, and was far more eloquent.
I have to wholeheartedly agree with you! Like a say nice to see a more balanced opinion here! Your point about Maggie Thatcher is well taken - they couldn’t wait to put her into the ground.

I’m pretty sure I know where most of the West currently sit son that cycle.
Thanks
Mel
RIP Nelson...
