They’ll say some Hispanic guy killed him in cold blood.
Nelson Mandela was a communist agitator, married to a mass murderer, who took the helm of modern and proserpous country and turned large areas of it into a 3rd world cess pool.
How about a Moment of Silence? I’m sure the Kenyan would see no harm in asking all Americans to observe a Moment of Silence.
(loud fart rips the air)
HEY! WHO FARTED?
SA has turned into a cesspool since the ANC took over. I know people that still live there.
Will O go back to “his homeland” for the funeral?
As for whether they are better off now than they were then, I suppose that would depend on who you talk to. White South Africans may say no. But black South Africans would probably prefer the way things are now, with all its flaws, to life under apartheid where they had no control over their lives.
“Legacy: We hear only the good. What is the state of South Africa as a result if Mandela’s rule? Are they better off now?”
My boss has gone to South Africa on hunting trips, three times now. He also housed a foreign exchange student from there for almost a year. He describes a dangerous nation, where there are areas white just plain cannot enter at night. Specifically, his exchange student lamented that more and more areas were becoming ‘off limits’ to whites, at night.
He also described tha absurdity of the AIDS epidemic there. Some high level official had sex with an underage relative...now the media outrage over this was not the incest, infidelity, or statutory rape. No, the outcry was that he had not used a condum. Adding to the absurdity, this official retorted that he had taken a shower prior to the intercourse, which apparently is widely believed in the region to prevent std’s. So, the political discourse, during the entire time my boss was in country on one of his trips, was whether or not this guy was lying about taking the shower.
And I look at the Pistorius case. Even if you believe he is guilty, it is hard to ignore the paranoia he had, in prior Facebook posts...or the fact that he lived in a walled community with razor wire.
Such is present day South Africa - a Mad Max style world, where violence and ignorance rule the day.
America was instrumental in the decline and fall of the Africaans’ country and culture. America empowered the communist Mandela, so I would think that our socialist phony president will order all flags flown at half-mast and America’s phony president will kneel on his little rug, face eastward and pray to his god.
We do not lower the US flag for foreign people. I KNOW mine in my yard will not be. Neither will they at our church since I am the one who handles that also. I will not put some foreign person in the same category as US soldiers and such that we do the half mast for.
Nelson Mandela could have instantly been released from prison at any point he chose.
All he had to do was repudiate violence as a means of public debate.
Yes, he is/was a world changer, a mover and shaker, but he was the antithesis of a Gandhi.
Whites are being genocided, tortured and raped in South Africa. the media is hiding this genocide , torture etc. of whites in South Africa started by Mandela the communist:
no doubt obmmie will scurry off for the funeral, as compared to the complete no show of the US, at the Thatcher funeral in the spring.
Just like Obama, it doesn’t matter what state the country is in. It only matters that they worship him as ‘hero.’
Perhaps some rounds of Memorial Necklacing in certain neighborhoods. And outside the George Zimmermann trial.
Obama will make sure Mandela dies in the next couple of days so the funeral can be used as an excuse for his African trip.
Lot of fuss over a mass murderer and communist.
Maybe they are keeping Mandela on ice until the soetero family vacation so soetero can deliver his eulogy and grab fame for himself at the end of Mandela’s life
