That's precisely ... ( 3 weeks ago by EyesoreII)

That's precisely what Nelson Mandela would NOT have wanted you to say. White South Africans cannot be blamed for what their fathers did.

You little kid-do u know why u have the freedom u have?its coz someone fought for them-its didnt just happen-White south africans are morons for jailing mandela for this long for NOTHING-at the architects of apartheid are still free when they should be shot in the head

Violence against ... ( 3 weeks ago by EyesoreII)

Violence against them isn't the answer, don't talk to me like that you condescending fuck, Nelson Mandela is my idol, he would tell you that you are being an idiot. The problems in South Africa right now are mostly a continuation of Apartheid, yes, but they also have to do with dangerous mentalities such as the one you expressed in your comment. How will South Africa ever be peaceful if people like you talk about how white South Africans need to be killed?

how is your reply ... ( 3 weeks ago by charlottewww)

how is your reply relevant to what I said? I was commenting on a previous remark about how Mandela is failing the SADC region (if you know what that is) because of his stillness over the Zimbabwe crisis (if you know where Zim is). It is our father's 90th birthday this month, viva Mandela, a man who preaches non-violence; "never again". It remains his core value. Your silly little comment has no value to humankind and our progression.

Ah, look, yet ... ( 3 weeks ago by charlottewww)

Ah, look, yet another American (oops, Canadian) spewing self-righteousness over a topic he know very little about. yawn, boring . . .

Who were you ... ( 3 weeks ago by EyesoreII)

Who were you responding to? I certainly wasn't responding to you. Never again indeed - while I idolize Mandela it's wrong to say he never used violence, in the 1960s things became too much, although he is far from a terrorist.

not you, that ... ( 3 weeks ago by charlottewww)

not you, that Africantiger guy. Do you think he knows tigers do not originate in Africa?

White people will ... ( 2 weeks ago by cubanrulez)

White people will only come here to discriminate like their evil leader adolf hitler....thats all they do everytime, everytime,everytime there is something sucessful about a black person...you will always find a white person come and make a very very foolish comment because he wants to see the negative side of a black man...thats whats' in the heart of a white man...Only Wickedness...

Kill all black bastards. Mandela was a terrorist scumbag. I hope he dies of AIDS like his piece of shit son.

Apartheid should ... ( 2 weeks ago by whiteworldreturns)

Apartheid should not have been dismantled, it should have been transplanted to every corner of the Earth.
Mandela, Mbeki and Mugabe=Evidence that Blacks are incapable of ruling themselves.

How was Mandela a ... ( 2 weeks ago by EyesoreII)

How was Mandela a terrorist? Read "I am prepared to die" - there is a difference between a revolutionary and a terrorist, you have been brainwashed. Explain how Mandela was a bad ruler? What did he do wrong in the four years he was in power? Also he is a vocal critic of Mbeki and Mugabe, do you follow the news ever or do you just swallow whatever bigoted Conservative drivel the media spoonfeeds you?

cuban. I agree with you but why do people always have to use the race card. We should all learn to get on. Do you remember when they said Nelson M is a murderer & he will never be released?
