    I don't know much about him as a politician. But I now that he was a symbol and symbols are important. Apartheid sucked. The shit that was going on sucked really bad. When Mandela was released and later became president it was exactly what South Africa needed. Things changed very rapidly. Maybe not because of him, but he was the symbol and that was very seriously needed. I cheered him on and cheered on the South Africans. They were finally getting rid of a majorly fucked up system.

    Absolutely not. He destroyed his country after he was let of prison, and he was put in prison for being a mad Marxist bomber and murderer of innocents.

    He is the darling of the liberals. They put him out as a poor oppressed black man, a victim just like everyone from the lest. they are all victims.. He did a lot of unspeakable acts that he went to prison for. The Mandela necktie is a flaming tire that he would have put over some enemy's head.

    Apparently not since the country is worst off than it was under Appartheid and quality of life hasn't improved for the Blacks

    Mandela was a terrorist actually. That's why he was in the jail. His wife was even worst.

    Like most blacks, he was a revolutionary, but certainly no politician. Cecil Rhodes on the other hand, that man was a true politician.

      @innerman Tell me why Black people never established any major empires or trade routes like other races? They never had a drive to impact the world, or even better themselves much. They basically just lived day to day, and not much has changed now. Even the Native tribes of the Americas, albeit often barbaric, were more sophisticated and accomplished more than blacks. It's no accident that even from Africa, the most successful people are all Whites. Elon Musk, Charleze Theron, Seether, the doctor who did the first heart transplant. That's just to name a few. Elon Musk is more famous than Mandela.
      by the way, when Whites first arrived there, there were only a few bushmen. The Whites went to colonize new territory and expand their trade network and seek out new resources. It was only after the Dutch began developing the region that Bantus from other African countries began migrating to what's now South Africa. This is how it's always been. Blacks basically just sat around and waited for someone else to build shit for them.
      They're even starting to agknowledge now that southern slaves did little to shape America. Because there were no slaves in the North, and it still developed. It was basically only the Whites and Asians that built this country. Whites through politics and Asians through constitution of railroads. Chattel slavery had very little impact as only about 10% of slaves actually went to the US.
      And basically every place where the local population was replaced by blacks, turned into a crime infested shit hole. These people do not know to live normal lives.

      Well said. Just like what happened to Haiti if you look it up. Blacks for the most part are savages at the core. They only take. And yeah, when we think of black slavery, all that comes up is cotton picking, nothing else. They did not build the skyscrapers, bridges, houses, etc. Heck, without the white man, they can only build mud huts.

      @VforVindication Haiti. Jamaica. Mitchelville. South Africa. Rhodesia. Liberia.

      History has shown time and time again that Blacks are incapable of surviving without White people holding their hand. They simply do not have the mentality or work ethic neccessary to successfully govern a large scale society. There is a reason black countries rank the lowest on the human development index, and the only successful black majority territories are the ones who have chosen to remain colonies of European countries.
      Even in Latin America there is a stark difference in crime rates and quality of life in the majority White areas vs the majority Black areas. So no one will tell me that there isn't something genetic with Black that makes them incapable of having civilized societies.

      Precisely. It is strewn in their DNA to be this way. They cannot help themselves because they see the white man as the devil and cannot see what the white man has brought to them. They killed so many white farmers to occupy their land and now Mugabe wants the white farmers that fleed back. The audacity of this moron. They deserve to starve tbh.

      @VforVindication The sad part is, they'd rather starve then admit they are helpless without Whites and let someone else rule over them again. They're the only race that refuse to adapt to White concepts. It was a mistake to ever allow Black people to have that much political power. They literally destroy everything they touch. Even one Black guy admitted that he lived peacefully in a White neighborhood, and everyone got along. Then problems only started when the mayor forcibly moved a bunch of Blacks there. That's basically what happened to Camden. If Blacks where the majority race and not Whites and Asians, we'd all starve.

    No. Politicians are parasites. Nelson Mandela was a great president precisely because he was definitely not that. A true representative of his people that didn’t seem to let his position corrupt him.
