Not really a sad affair, unlike Paul Walker’s untimely demise.
Mandela lived a very long life (not sure what the average is in South Africa), and accomplished a great deal. You couldn’t have hoped for better.
He is not the saint people make out and was in bed with some radical left wing nutjobs, but compared to the current regime of whitey-killing Mugabe drones, Mandela was not an overall negative.
Rest in peace. I hope the family is doing okay.
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.
