Nelson Mandela

I admire his stance against an oppressive, very racist, regime, though don't agree with some of his methods in the fight to end it, in his younger life. I can understand where people are coming from with the terrorist description. But "terrorist" is used in a very arbitrary way, when it comes to the bad stuff they're own country, or leader has done, that's swept under the rug. No one talks about state sponsored terrorism. As Chomsky once said, It's only terrorism when they do it. The Sharpeville Massacre was terrorism.

It's a tough one for some. However, if I and my brethren were brutally oppressed, treated like shite for years on end because of the colour of my skin I'd resort to means that many cellarites would think despicable.
The only difference is the poor blacks are now oppressed by corrupt rich blacks instead of corrupt white ones.

I will keep my thoughts on Mandela to myself

That he was a terrorist and secretly hates white people?

I Could never understand all the sucking up and pampering to a man whose just came out of jail..yeah fair play to sticking to your morals,but i wonder if that ira bloke bobby wafer thin sands would have elton,spice girls and mccartney visiting him if he managed to of survive...
