As a black man, I'm not a big fan of Nelson Mandeka anymore. When he was younger, he was an UNCOMPROMISING freedom fighter. Now he is just a white man's hero, hob-nobbing with all these white dignitaries, going to all these white establishments. The same white establishments that hated him when he was younger. When the masses of white people like a black person, I worry. I SUPPORT anything white people OPPOSE and I OPPOSE anything white people SUPPORT. Long live Robert Mugabe. BLACK POWER !!

So when the majority of Brits vote Conserative and the majority of yanks vote Democrat and it is decided by how many 'areas' they hold, that is majority rule? No mate, you are the fucking idiot.

i know what you're saying but it depends on the regime they are fighting against.Bush is a bigger terrorist than mandela ever was.

mate ur having a bubble. im 15 years of age, and even i know mandela and the ANC didn't become violent in their protests until after sharpeville massacre, where white south african policemen shot thousands of black peaceful protestors for no reason. maybe u should do a little reasearch before insulting a man like nelson mandela!
