Be happy and smile
That's what he'd want and that's what his people is doing right now.
OK Im sorry but no. Found these 2 quotes about him at ESPN.com which had a write up on him for some strange reason considering it had nothing to do with sports.
So he denounces Bush and thats fine its his opinion. Then he calls the US war criminals while supporting Castro and Gadhafi?He denounced Bush as a warmonger and the U.S. having "committed unspeakable atrocities in the world." When asked about his closeness to Fidel Castro and Moammar Gadhafi despite human rights violations in the countries they ruled
The guy just seemed like a racist so good riddance. No wonder Obama loves him so much. Hell I wouldnt put it past that loser to add a national holiday for mandelaWhen black journalists mildly criticized his government, he painted them as stooges of the whites who owned the media. Whites with complaints were dismissed as pining for their old privileges.

RIP for sure.
I respect him mostly for admitting flaws in himself and not acting like an infallible god king. Humility is a trait many leaders should adopt. Glad to see him at peace, he'd been pretty sick for a decent amount of time I thought.

Best comment yet. I haven't truly lol'd alone in a few days. Good play sir. He would appreciate your light-heartedness I'm sure.
He's been unwell for awhile now, but sad to see him go.
Rest in Peace Nelson Mandela. <3 xx
Ooooooooh goly~

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what.”

take the two minutes of your time and see how he really thought.
Mandela was a racist, communist and terrorist.
The Onion's article on his passing was great. They were funny about it, but so truthful; he was a great man and he will definitely be missed.
maybe now the white genocide in S. Africa will slow down a little.

While he was responsible for some truly saddening crimes, he also brought change.Nelson Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South African Communist Party. At his trial, he had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilising terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists.
Ironic how he was given amnesty though by the truth and reconciliation committee, i'd rather he was remembered as what he did also; Everyone loves to paint him as a doting old man.
This isn't me bashing him totally, but i'm peeved people enjoy overlooking the anguish and death he directly and indirectly caused.
RIP You suave and respectfull human being.
Enjoy Your Ticket to Heaven and know that your people will follow you.
You are like What Ghandi Was to the Idians, as to your people.
