South Africa shows us that we can change.

Change into what?

I mean Rhodesia has changed too. Hell Detroit has changed as well.

Funny how the world works sometimes. Just think of Menachem Begin who went from being a terrorist to being prime minister of Israel to winning the Nobel peace prize.

No

But I’ve been to Malawi Zimbabwe and Mozambique and I prefer the plumbing and water supply in Atlanta

Let's hope the hearse carrying Mandela doesn't get carjacked.

Sean Hannity just said he was “unjustly” locked up for 27 years. The world is mad.

Mandela could have, would have been released from jail if he swore to the authorities he wouldn't be involved in any way in terrorist acts in the future. Year after year he stubbornly wouldn't agree.

Sean, please read up on Mandela's history so you don't make such simpleton mistakes.

Either Castro looks a lot like Jack Palance, or vice versa!

What’s with this inequality kick Obama is on now? We keep hearing we need to fight income inequality.

He has to talk about something other than obamacare.

“...like fighting apartheid. That was an evil system. ..”

GOPJ, but I suspect that most White South Africans looked at apartheid as self-preservation for their civilization, culture, traditions, and the society that they built there. Their families were there for hundreds of years, and turned that place into a thriving economic system, where none existed prior.

Imagine “world pressure” on the USA to disarm our citizenry, change our way of life, give up our traditions, heritage, culture, society, etc., - sorta like what we’re going through right now. To me, THAT is evil.

They looked across the border into the former Rhodesia, saw the hell that place had become as “Zimbabwe” and said “No thanks.”

My guess is that all that they feared would come to pass if they gave in - did in fact come to pass.

We’ve never lived there, nor dealt with what those folks dealt with, and have only the liberal media’s version of what apartheid is/was.

For comparison - take a walk through any inner city - North Philly, Camden, Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore - at night, unarmed, bringing nothing but the best of intentions with you. I think you’d discover what “evil” really is very quickly.

Obama has a point in the Martin Luther King comparison. MLK was a Marxist sympathizer and a Communist fellow-traveller. Nelson Mandela was an outright Communist.
