I rate Tutu as a lot worse than Mandela. He really is a despicable character, but I have respect for Mandela for the hardship he endured in the face of a regime that was full of Nazi sympathizers. And his ceasefire following the fall of the white leaders was admirable, compared to someone like Che Guevara who never stopped hunting and killing anyone affiliated with the Batista regime.
Apartheid was a great injustice, and it was right that it was ended, but people cannot ignore the apartheid that exists today in the country where white citizens are routinely murdered in horrific ways with tacit approval from Zuma’s government.

Nobody is perfect, in fact the vast majority of people are far from perfect, but I’m not going to spend my time slamming a dead man for his transgressions when we have real a55hole tyrants to confront, like Obama. Martin Luther King had some ties with communists. I don’t attack him in death because the good he did outweighed any poor judgements in his personal life.

All that being said, the media fawning is going to go on far longer than necessary. Notice how they had buried Margaret Thatcher in a day?
Just as a reminder, the African dictatorship did murder blacks during crackdowns, but the final bodycount, blacks killed by the government, was actually very low.
The dictatorship in Argentina, which was ended by Thatcher, had murdered over 10,000 people.

Shows how the leftist media pays attention to some ‘heroes’ over others depending on their own agenda.

Like I said, Mandela lived a long life and I’m sure he’ll be missed by his family. Let it go gracefully and pray that whites in the country do not suffer any kind of backlash in the restless nation. There are plenty of things to be sad about in today’s world, and the death of a 95 year old who achieved everything he wanted in life is not one of them. He’s in God’s hands now. Let Him be the judge of Nelson Mandela. It’s not Obama’s, the media’s, or our place.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with you! Like a say nice to see a more balanced opinion here! Your point about Maggie Thatcher is well taken - they couldn’t wait to put her into the ground.
