Nelson Mandela is gone, wish him happiness in the other life.

May his heritage last long inside us, so we all fight for peace and freedom.

 

Nothing better than short attention spans and the media. But Reality is not always so kind with manufactured legacies.

Personally I don't care much about the issue, but it's like people saying how Malcom X was a hero when he was just as racist as those he was fighting against.

 

couldn´t agree more with xoso http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=546_1386290683 cheers everyone

 

Youtube and it's bullshit commentators, always providing an entertaining afternoon.

 

I assume that Mr. Mandela was a gospel singer that's why the news appear here?

 

Signed. He was a great man.

Madiba, i to your life!​

 

Nelson Mandela did use terrorist tactics in his fight against the white establishment that basically enslaved his people but look at it in context. If you want to look into any famous icon's past you will find something you don't like. Look into Gandhi who was a blatant racist and pedophile.

Oh did we forget to ask you what should appear here? Maybe you can do it better with your own forums...which are where exactly? One of the things I love about these forums is that it isn't strictly on one subject, someone can open a topic on something important or something that maybe others would enjoy. We have a humor section too...is it okay with you if we laugh? Don't like it, don't read it.

 

xoso do you understand xhosa? that video was taken out of context. the song was sang during the soweto uprisings. in 1976.
I wont get into the details but just to a bit of translation for you abamhlophe - whites, amabhulu is a specific group of people (the apartheid govt).
don't take anything you see on the internet for the gospel.
besides Nelson Mandela never claimed to have been a saint...

lala ngokuthula tata Mandela!

 

Nelson Mandela have its place here, because in the first place he is an inspiration for life, and music IS life.

Apartheid was the last most horrible expression of racism on earth, as a politic system governing a country based on racism in his own constitution and laws. And after hundreds years of slavery, torture and violations from the oppressors I perfectly understand that ANC used what ever necessary methods to free themselves from the yoke of slavery, and the violence they used was not a quarter of what they suffered for so long.

The video linked by Xoso and approved by Nikos Laos is a manipulation. You should check the youtube channel of the guy (Rudi Prinsloo )who posted this video.
His first 5 videos are "Die Suidlanders Inligting DVD" now what is that? This is a far right organization who's leader is a broken business man called Gustav Müller.
His manipulating theory is that black people plan to eradicate white people in South Africa. Using this, he's got some idiots to follow him and give money so they can prepare for the future civil war, stocking weapons and so.
Do you really think that this user Rudi Prinsloo is a credible person to speak about Nelson Mandela now?

Xoso and Nikos Laos, honestly I prefer to believe you are only ignorant.

THANK YOU MISTER MANDELA, FOR SHOWING US WHAT TRUE DETERMINATION CAN DO FOR FREEDOM.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE. ​

 

As a black South African I wouldn't be able to have the opportunities I have today. He might be physically dead but he's spirit lives on!

We'll miss him!
