How does one take Mandela out of context?
Can you take necklacing out of context?
Can you take terrorism out of context?
Can you take attempting to overthrow the Nasionale Party government out of context?
Mandela was violent and was sent to prison for acts designed to destroy a government.
I’m not excusing Mandela for what he did. I’m just talking about his passing. There’s nothing to be gained for conservatives/Republicans to denounce Mandela, although they shouldn’t wax eloquently about him either.
Oh my gosh! (Rewind to 1776...)

Attempting to overthrow the National Party government was a good thing.
