HB of CJ 1,263 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Nelson Mandela has died. How history paints with such a broad brush. Or...."Toto; I don't think we are in Kansas anymore!" I was taught Mandela was a cold blooded Commie who delighted in killing people. His wife was worse. Wonder how the media and politicians will try to spin his life.

patriot 7,197 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 He's being lauded as the savior of the African blacks who were enslaved by the evil white settlers. Now, said blacks are rampaging lawlessly taking over white owned properties and murdering everyone there....and getting away with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Glad to see a realist started this thread! I was expecting to find another hagiography of what a wonderful paragon of virtue and a idealized God like saint he was. The worst mistake the South African Govt. ever made was not to execute that fucking terrorist outright. Instead they allowed the Communist black revolutionaries to make him into a martyr, one that the bleeding heart Marxists around the world lionized. Under his rule any chance for reconciliation between the races was no better than Zimbabwe has been under Robert Mugabe. Maybe Mandela will reserve a special seat in hell on the torture rack next to him for Mugabe, so those fuckers can scream in agony for all eternity together... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mancat 2,368 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I left pretty much the same type of comment on the Seattle Times' headline story of Mandela's death, it was deleted and my account was banned. I basically said "Good riddance, Mandela is portrayed as some sort of peaceful savior of South Africa, when what he really did was to advocated violence against middle and upper-class South African whites - violence is exactly what they got. South Africa is now the most crime-ridden nation with first-world status, and it got that way under Mandela's rule. He will be remembered by historians as a completely different man, but his real legacy is still there for the eye to see: a South Africa that is equally as "successful" as any other African nation."

Ronin38 2,117 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 That's what you get for challenging the Good Facts with the Real Facts, without getting them approved by the proper authorities. I have traveled a fair amount, and have seen various places around the world. There are many other places in this world I would love to visit and learn more about. The entire African continent, however, could just sink into the sea like Atlantis, and I would not mind one bit. I guess that just makes me a cruel, heartless SOB. So be it. The countries of India and Pakistan could sink with it, while I'm at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arik 565 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Nothing happens just because. Keep in mind that in Apartheid South Africa, their version racism meant that the blacks were forced (not had no options because they were poor, actually forced) to live in shacks in slums with third-world conditions while the whites had a standard of living close to ours. While no form of racism is acceptable, the South African blacks didn't act violently because they were merely forced to sit at the back of a bus or drink from a different water fountain. What would you do if you were a native black South African and the communists were the only alternative to a regime run by non native white supremest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Arik, people confuse the cricism of Mandela as acceptance or approval of apartheid. What Mandela advocated was basically holding the white citizenry ransom by acts of violence, in order to get the whites to pressure their leaders to end apartheid. There were other factors in play, but violence was a large part of it. In particular, the murder of hundreds of white farmers and their families is pretty well-documented. If the people had a different skin color, that would be called ethnic cleansing. Because they were white, it's just thrown into the trash bin of history, and nobody really talks about it. If you point it out, you get labeled a racist. Right - it's racist to point out that hundreds if not thousands of white South Africans were murdered to "peacefully" end apartheid.

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Watched the movie a while back. It showed him as a Savior and mentioned nothing about his ideology. The truth is probably closer to this..He didn't want a civil war that he couldn't control, when he took office, so he decided to go the "hope and change" route.

Arik 565 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) I dont disagree its just that people make him out to be this Hitler like person. The Apertheid has it roots in the early 1800s and really restarts after ww2. And some of their laws like making it illigal for whites to marry blacks, forced relocations, no rights, no money, cannot own a business, cannot attend college (if you want to be a doctor) but cannot go see a white doctor in a white hospital,.....the list goes on and on. Sounds very close to Hitler's Germany and the treatment of Jews. (cannot own business/property, no rights, forced relocation, segrigation....etc....etc) And of course there was violance towards the native blacks. BTW Blacks wernt the only ones to suffer, The local Chinese, Japanese, Tiwaneese, and other migrants or descendnts of migrants were treated just a little better but the blacks were the biggest minority. Im not saying he was right Im saying that the responce is usually at least as bad. Today SA probably is more violent but it also has the richest people. A lot of these folks are into dimonds and make the forbes top 10 look like you and me Edited December 6, 2013 by Arik Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shandlanos 1,470 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Arik, people confuse the cricism of Mandela as acceptance or approval of apartheid.

If you point it out, you get labeled a racist. Right - it's racist to point out that hundreds if not thousands of white South Africans were murdered to "peacefully" end apartheid. That second paragraph sounds like a pretty reasonable tactic, frankly. If you're in a position of violently enforced poverty, and there's something or someone you can attack that might convince the violent authorities to back off that policy - you'll do it, without hesitation or remorse for those people who benefit from the system you are trying to defeat. It's not "ethnic cleansing" but certainly ethnic violence. Ethnic cleansing or genocide requires the targeted killing of a large group of people. Small-scale killings, even "mass killings," do not qualify. What happened in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe might come closer to genocide. Between killings and emigration, the white population went down by roughly 50% in the 5 years following the fall of Rhodesia. I don't know much about Nelson Mandela - but assuming he was an extremely violent man, as many are claiming - that seems fine to me. It seems to me that if members of this forum can come together on one thing, it's the idea that it is just to meet violence with violence. That is the core principle of self-defense.

Jpanzer 1,265 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Take a look at this blog and the photos in it if you want to see how South Africa has "prospered" under the kumbaya - love each other - "benevolent" rule of Mandela and company . http://deathofjohannesburg.blogspot.com/ Here's another link to show you what the Obamba compliant US media and the liberal spinmasters won't: http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21564846-south-africa-sliding-downhill-while-much-rest-continent-clawing-its-way-up Now tell me how anything that Mandela did in South Africa was "good". He was a fucking terrorist who traded in murder his entire life, either directly, or later as a head of state, indirectly. He and his ANC pals drove the economy and international standing of South Africa straight into the ground. It is rapidly going the way of the former Rhodesia since Obamba's other "lovely" Commie revolutionary friend Robert Mugabe has been in control. Give it 10 years and they will be eating each other's livers in South Africa the way the Tutsis and Hutus did in Rwanda.... Edited December 6, 2013 by Jpanzer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can see doing whatever you need to do be free, but I see many here disagree with his tactics, so I will hold judgement until I figure it out. On the flip side, Thatcher died and he didnt even send flowers. Hes a fucktard. Mandela didnt have our backs over the years, Thatcher did. He should show proper respect for those who directly earned it, versus those who had nothing to do with us. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) +1 I don't anything about his history but, killing civilians is a cowardly act by any group seeking to further a cause. Human beings are worse than animals, at times. Bloodlust is a horrible, but effective, motivator. "Human Nature" is genetic and will never change. The Libs hate the idea and deny it.
