May he rest in peace. But I will never understand the praise given to him. He basically made it so that we acquiesce to the white power structure and received the illusion of freedom under the guise that south Africans would be treated like human beings on the own soil by their Anglo-Dutch masters. He is a manufactured hero to me given to us by our colonial masters to assuage our laments. The Europeans still run that place.

I agreed with you on that, but I respect the man for not wavering while he was in jail. He took the Dr. King route to be honest with you, still no peace, no justice and inequality. But it's kept over folks heads that believe they are free. And you see the way we celebrate Dr. King. So I share that, but I still honor what I thought was great of the man.

While he was a revolutionary is his own right, he was definitely a safe negro. Whites tend to prefer those over true revolutionaries though.

The dirt-bag that is Alex Jones doing what he can to tend to his audience:

Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, died today at the age of 95.

Prior to his presidency, Mandela was incarcerated for 27 years at three different prisons after pleading guilty to 156 acts of public violence including the Johannesburg railway station bombing.

He was also a member of the South African Communist Party and a co-founder of Umkhonto we Sizwe, a guerrilla warfare group declared a terrorist organization by the United States in the 1960s.

RIP to Nelson Mandela, a true warrior.

And a special "fukk You" to "Dirty" dikk Cheney for voting against the Anti-Apartheid bill back in 1986 and labeling Mandela a "terrorist."
