    You'll get varying opinions. Some label him a hero, others a terrorist, but noone denies he achieved a beneficial change. Just his methods may not have been perfect, the end result was fantastic.

    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.

    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
    So he denounces Bush and thats fine its his opinion. Then he calls the US war criminals while supporting Castro and Gadhafi?

    When 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.
    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 mandela

    But I lol'd irl. Well played sir.

    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.

    While the whole Obama thing didn't need to come into play, agreed on the racism part.

    What the hell seriously, how can people not be aware of who Nelson Mandela is ffs?

    OT: it was to be expected. He was a great man and hope South Africa doesn't go downhill without his presence. RIP
    “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.

    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.
    While he was responsible for some truly saddening crimes, he also brought change.

    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.

    well seeing how every single news site is showing obama's response to his death, and his support of him, its pretty relevant.

    Surely a great leader in his later years, but does that make up for the fact he was leader of an armed terrorist group that had no problems with murdering civilians in his earlier years? i don't think so, don't blindly follow the mantra of how awesome he is and look more into his history and realise that he was as bad is he was good.
