Very appropriate, did Mandela really deserve the attention like a Pope that he got? I think not.

He was a “new school” signer. All the other sign language interpreters are old school.

The whole thing was a joke, a 5-hour joke. Nobody there gave a rat’s ass about Mandela.

It was a *fantastic* prank! That one Zulu pranked the entire ANC, Mandela, Obama, and Affirmative Action for 5 straight hours on one of the most-viewed events in History.

Epic.

Obama got punked.

Here's what a Zulu warrior looks like. Notice the similarities to the Zulu deaf "signer" who pranked Obama and the ANC!

He looked to me like he was repeating himself a lot. At least if you’re gonna fake it use more than 3 or 4 gestures over & over & over ......

Yes, Ebonics, if we like many American students, according to numerous studies, consider Mandela and this “interpreter” ‘African-Americans’.

I could read it! This is what he was signing:

“If you want your insurance you can keep it. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Period.”

I watched it briefly with the sound off when Soetero was speaking, and I caught a couple of words the interpreter interpreted: “bunch ah” and “folks”.

He probably went to the Woody Allen Interpreters Institute.

Compare the pic in post #48 to this image of the ANC:
Notice the ethnic difference in stocky Zulu (post #48) and skinny ANC (this post).

The interpreter was delivering an appropriate message for the event-——

He was signing the Communist Manifesto.

What I find so darn funny about it all is that between this dolt doing his act, and our pos leader with his childish selfie, these have become the topic vs the rat that just died
