"Mandela had participated in planning acts of sabotage and inciting violence, so that he could no longer fulfill the criteria for the classification of political prisoners." ~ Amnesty International, 1985. "There's one thing where that country stands out head and shoulders above the rest. That is in its love for human rights and liberty." ~ Nelson Mandela, referring to Castro's Cuba, May, 1990. A week later in Libya, he praised Moammar Qaddaf's "commitment to the fight for peace and human rights in the world." "We support the cause of anyone who is fighting for self-determination, and our attitude is the same, no matter who it is. I would be honored to sit on the platform with the four comrades you refer to." ~ Nelson Mandela, referring to the four Puerto Rican terrorists who shot and wounded five U.S. Congressmen in 1954. (quoted in The New York Times [early local edition only] June 25, 1990) In 2003, Mandela complained about Bush's plan to attack Iraq with or without final approval from the United Nations, and implied that the U.S. and U.K. leaders are a racist. "Both Bush as well as Tony Blair are undermining an idea (creation of the United Nations) which was sponsored by their predecessors," "Is this because the secretary-general of the United Nations is now a black man? They never did that when they were white," he said. "All Bush wants is Iraqi oil, because Iraq produces 64 percent of oil in the world and he wants to get hold of it." (In fact Iraq contributes to only 5 percent of world oil exports.) "Because they (the Americans) decided to kill innocent people in Japan, who are still suffering from that, who are they now to pretend that they are the policeman of the world?" "If there is a country which has committed unspeakable atrocities, it is the United States of America. They don't care for human beings." ~ Nelson Mandela, speaking just TWO DAYS after GWBush pledged $15 BILLION to fight AIDS in Africa. |

Apartheid= Bad
Mandela=Bad Thank God we have the Constitution. Mandela wasn't wrong to be against racism. He was wrong to grasp communism/socialism/violence. I wonder if he would have had he our Constitution to fall back on? |

This is what pisses me off, as a South African the rest of the World compares apartheid SA to the Nazis, you make it seem as if the cops drove around all night and broke into blacks homes and killed the lot of them. The truth is, yes the police went around and took out some blacks a lot of them, most if not all of these targets were ANC (A recognized terrorist group) and ANC sympathizers, there were very few random knock and shoots, what do you think, we had millions of cops with out anything else to do? Their targets were terrorists, the World media made it seem it was all of the black population but they were after the terrs. Was apartheid wrong? Yes it was, was it the only way to keep savage behavior off the streets and out of communities (The same behavior that we see there now) yes it was at that time View Quote I'm going to say this as diplomatically as I can... ...if the only way your country could figure out how to maintain law and order was to subjugate the majority of the population, strip them of fundamental human rights, encode in your laws that they were less than human, and subject them to some of the most vicious tyranny of the 20th century, then your fucked up country run by small-minded racist fucking tyrants deserved to fucking fail and collapse in fucking bloody anarchy and I have no fucking sympathy at all. You may not realize it, but your arguments are eerily similar to some of the justifications captured Nazi leadership gave for the anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws and forced relocation of undesirables to ghettos and concentration camps. "We HAD to, or they would have destroyed each other and us all! They're savages who consume nations! It was the only way to preserve the state!." Your whining is nothing more than bullshit excuses for brutal tyranny. The only real difference, as was pointed out earlier, is that your government didn't go as far as extermination camps. But, again, a lack of infrastructure does not absolve you. You are making excuses for the unforgivable and I have no sympathy for the fate of your nation as it faces the consequences of its sins, as terrible and self-destructive as they may be. Was Mandela a saint? No. I've never read about armed revolutionaries that were. Even our own founding fathers did some shitty things, especially to the natives that were their erstwhile allies, although they were much better than most. The vast majority are vicious, dangerous, capable men with a lust for power in the wrong place at the right time to get the upper hand on a slightly different monster. Mandela was faced with elitist racist fascists who kept power with terror and violence, and so he turned to pretty much the one and only anti-establishment movement of the time that promised something a hell of a lot better, took the help provided by that faction, and gave his oppressors a dose of their own medicine. It was hideous from both sides. I don't doubt he murdered people. I don't doubt he blew up busloads of children. I also know for a fact that the Transvaal government murdered blacks pretty prodigiously, children, adults, you name it. They don't get to claim the moral high ground, not even fucking close. Your nation created a monster and then screamed at the injustice of the consequences of their own actions. Not one fucking shred of sympathy. Not now, not ever. Rhodesia I feel bad for. Mugabe I hate. Apartheid South Africa was a despicable, unforgivable place. |
|
I can understand a black South African wanting to fight the apartheid system and being tempted to embrace retarded communist ideas. And he does deserve praise for encouraging reconciliation over revenge when the whites finally conceded. He easily could have turned into another Mugabe once he was released from prison.
But to act like Mandela was some kind of non-violent peace activist is laughable. He was jailed because he was a terrorist leader, not because he sat in the white seats on a bus or whatever. The guy was more like Che Guevara than MLK or Ghandi. |
