This media sob-fest will last for weeks.....

I'm sure the Post Office has the Mandela stamp all ready to print.

[wku man]

Good riddance to bad, murdering, Commie garbage.

Burn in Hell, Mandela. May your murdering wife join you soon.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Venturer]

I don’t know that Mandela gave them their Freedom, but I know what they have done with it.

It ain’t pretty.

Mandela was a terrorist POS.

[Black Agnes]

We probably ain’t seen nuthin’ yet with that.

[elcid1970]

Need to bring the white Afrikaners here, some how some way. What if one state in our Union became a haven for the Boers?

They’d know what to do with the Somalis who infest our land. Never thought in my entire life I’d become race conscious, but now it’s a matter of survival. And on that, any Afrikaner can tell you of real events in SA to make your hair stand on end.

Addition by subtraction

black is not in the rainbow

[dfwgator]

Generally I support the British, but what they did to the Boers was an absolute crime.

[Truthoverpower]

There is no question about it. South Africa = Somalia in a couple if years

Can’t say I know of one nation run by blacks that isn’t a hellhole

Maybe the carribean That’s it.

[chae]

But if I recall correctly, the Caribbean blacks don’t self identify as “African” anything, like they don’t call themselves “african Jamaicans, just jamaicans.

[tumblindice]

Yup. Isn’t that where ‘concentration camps’ got their start?

[dfwgator]

Sure did.

[To Hell With Poverty]

Reminds me of a girls' dorm on the UGA campus that was majority black. The RA had put up signs on all the dorm room doors, with a drawing of a rainbow springing from a black cloud and the words "from black...all the colors bloom" or some such nonsense. Evidently she didn't pay any attention in 2nd grade science class or she would have known that black is the complete absence of color.

[Jimmy Valentine]

What is the cynical response? “Africa wins again”

[21twelve]

I have met several white Afrikaners - I think the exodus as been on-going. And it is not just black on white violence. It is just violence and theft regardless of color.

Obviously (?), Mandela has not been president for many years now - so what real difference will there be in South Africa? It has been in a death spiral ever since his communist and racist ideals began.

[elcid1970]

In 2nd grade science class we painted a disc all the colors of the rainbow, like pie segments. When it was spun by an electric motor, the multicolored disk turned - white!

The TV is going to be all Mandela all day, wall to wall. The newsies are falling over each other in praise of this terrorist & his murderous wife. Yuk!

[headsonpikes]

Yes.

Interestingly, this AM AlJazeera has more even-handed coverage than the Canadian and US papers.
