It was just a cultural thing. Besides which, it happened a long time ago, so what difference, at this point, does it make?

I told my 20 year old son about Winny this weekend. It was a total revelation to him.

My country’s flag is at hal mast today to honor this terrorist.
It shames me to use my flag like that.
Even Ted Cruz is attending the funeral. Shameful
American politicians will do anything to impress the coloreds.

I could not find a source about Winnie Mandela that actually had any concrete details about her actually using that quote, until I came across this, of all places, on Wikipedia:
"...Her reputation was damaged by such rhetoric as that displayed in a speech she gave in Munsieville on 13 April 1986, where she endorsed the practice of necklacing (burning people alive using tyres and petrol) by saying: "[W]ith our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country"..."
She married him in 1953, and was married to him until 1996. I have no doubt he not only knew of her activities, but in his role as leader of the military wing of the ANC beginning in 1961, he approved.

Winnie Mandela's "reputation" was "damaged" by not only inciting people to be burned alive, but by actually ordering it.
Amazing what it takes to destroy a liberal's reputation. They can only "damage" it by driving a car into a lake and leaving a person to drown. They can only "damage" it by ordering people to be burned to death by a tire around their neck with flaming gasoline.
I guess the only way you can irreparably destroy your reputation as a liberal is to do as Paula Deen did, and say something racist.

No, no, no. You are looking at it all wrong.
If we damn Nelson Mandela, we have to damn the founders of our nation, because they advocated and ordered murder and violence against their opponents.
In the eyes of the left, George Washington and Martha Washington were no different than Nelson and Winnie Mandela.
