I wonder about the depth of view of people who lionize Mandela, many doubtless in as much ignorance as this engineer who got hacked. This was no racial egalitarian. This was not South Africa’s Martin Luther King, Jr.
“I wonder about the depth of view of people who lionize Mandela”
MAndela was a criminal terrorist, but even he was pleading to stop whites from leaving after independence; he knew that without them, there would be no doctors, teachers, etc.. He knew he needed time for the whites to show the blacks how to run a country, but he couldn’t provide security to let it happen. If you see any of the footage of the cops in the townships (paired one white/one black) there is no doubt they tried (the black cops were probably more brutal than the white ones - their families had to live in closer proximity to the worst elements). In the end the whites had too much to lose (their lives, and those of their families) so they split.
Blacks have to sort out the future of blacks; whites can’t make them grow up.
