We are hearing a multitude of broadcasts, blogs, and stories about Mandela. Hosts fill their alloted time with stories of Mandela, and cannot help but slip into comparisons with modern politicians. It is also appropriate to compare him with our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, who faced some of the very same challenges as Mr. Mandela.
I think FR needs a moratorium on Mandela threads.
He’s dead.
THE END
Well Lincoln did burn the South(including Atlanta) for daring to secede so they are similar in that : genocide.
here it says there is a stage 6 genocide in South Africa, mandela’s enduring legacy.

that is a genocide of whites in South Africa by a black government.
In South Africa many white women getting raped and tortured to death proof:

Genocide Watch has been particularly concerned for over ten years at the hate crimes perpetrated against Boer farmers and other whites – bodies of murder victims dissembled and disfigured, old women raped in front of their husbands, and other strong evidence of racially targeted crimes. However, Genocide Watch had no evidence that the South African government was encouraging these crimes or that they were organised by an organised hate group.
Now Genocide Watch states that they have evidence of organised incitement to violence against white people.
I second that!
Lincoln and mandela faced nothing that was the same.
Lincoln was not a communist.
“Well Lincoln did burn the South(including Atlanta) for daring to secede so they are similar in that : genocide.”
Burning the South is not genocide
It is arson
Well you’re right there...cant watch football without a moment of silence for him, read fr,twitter,or listen to radio and not be bombarded with this eternal fawning over someone, lets face it now, people are only pretending to care about. They’re like a starving dog gnawing on a meatless bone.
How many southerners (Americans) did Lincoln kill?
Sometimes I think a moratorium on Lincoln threads would be a good idea. ;)
Especially idiotic ones....like this one.
If only that were true. He will continue to be heralded as one of the world’s premier leaders of all time.
Mandela was a avid Communist with ties to violent thugs starting with his wife.
He might have ended apartheid, but in the wake he opened up a brand new wave of racial violence that’s brought South Africa to be known as one of the most dangerous places on Earth (for whites and blacks).
Differences:
Lincoln only freed southern blacks. He couldn’t care less for Northern slaves - they were owned by his friends.
Similarities:
Smug self-congratulating “I am not racist” white people use their legacies indiscriminately while continuing to distance themselves from blacks. For communists, the enemy isn’t racism, but freedom.
I like pictures of puppies and kittens.
If I am not mistaken, isn’t that the infamous orange patch white kitten of the central plains of Africa, capable of killing a herd of elephants with a single bite? One drop of his venom can wipe out an entire population.
Bullsnot.
I never realized Lincoln had spent years in prison. That always gets left out of his biographies.
