I don't understand the hero worship with Mandela. No one has given any validation for it whatsoever outside of an urging to go along unquestioningly with this silly media propaganda blitz.

I mean we all completely raked Obama over the coals for meaningless flowery speeches but at least neither Obama nor his wife were running around inciting the most brutal acts violence or ordering terrorist attacks before they were propelled to prominence.

He opposed discrimination against blacks, to some people this alone is justification for killing whoever you want and throwing society down the shitter (SA has never recovered the policies that ensued). Discrimination was a big thing in that era, all over the world, South Africa was not a unique case in going through this stage.

Blender is a good example of someone who behaves arbitrarily, he laughs at the idea of discrimination eventually becoming irrelevant, even though that's exactly what happened when the UK outlawed slavery, stores eventually taking down their "coloureds" or "white" only signs in western countries.

You're the one with cognitive dissonance here. You have a serious disconnect with historical events and their context. That's either because you're to young or just malinformed (not misinformed, malinformed). Furthermore, you should ask someone, anyone, to proofread your comments before you post them, filter out the shit and giggles.
Discrimination (as a social political force) has made a huge comeback since 2001. Back then it wasn't discrimination in SA, it was called racism and they themselves called it that way. Brutally oppressive, hateful and murderous system (supported by the good old us of a) and you use the term discrimination. There's giggles for you.

When Mandela was president the first thing he did was ask the "black" population to forgive the "white" population. He started a healing process so SA could move into the future. You don't seem to know or remember. He also said some things would take time to heal.

This is all the comment you strange and disconnected haters will get from me until your properly educate yourself.

One last comment; "white" just as "black" is a construct not a skin color. Good luck fumbling around in your brown paper bag.

Lefties love the term racism, but you've bastardized the term beyond any practical use. Discrimination is clear, but it seems you only go for phrases you feel have a bigger impact "brutal, oppressive, hateful, murderous" as I pointed out SA isn't unique in going through this process, so stop behaving arbitrarily. Mandela asked for justice before forgiveness, he also never denounced violence. Oh please, don't comment again with your drivel.

Listen. Lets stop it right here. You clearly don't know what your talking about. Good luck fumbling around in your...okay, white, paper bag. Maybe that pissed you off.
The people who came after mandela destroyed the country. But anyways, you believe what you like.
Drivel. LOL.

This is one of the craziest threads I have ever read on this forum. Truly.
