I don't usually call people out or engage in shyt like this but I swear to god if I hear one more fool declare in any measure that Mandela sold out black people to whites I will blow a fukking gasket.
You are not smart or controversial, you are profoundly ignorant and know nothing of the scope of history or the volatile powder keg of hatred that Mandela took the task of diffusing.
You idiots speak of retribution, blood spilled and revenge as if throughout the history of Africa post-independence this hasn't manifested in civil war, genocide, ethnic cleansing, extreme poverty, political anomie and economic destitution.
There is no shortage of examples Sudan, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, the list goes on. Over just 40 years 10's of millions killed, millions more ruined and displaced, the potential wealth of Africa left to rot and this is the future that you have had Mandela endorse for his people? You think because the oppressors were white and the anger was just, the results would have been any different?
Look at Zimbabwe and the complete economic collapse caused by the violent seizure of farms from whites and the now tarnished legacy of Mugabe. Look at the life of blacks in South Africa relative to these countries and tell me that war and conflict would have been the right choice.
Yet you front like because you take a harder line on white people on the internet you're somehow more down for black people than he was and have the nerve to imply that he was somehow a white stooge and in the case of that degenerate moron @Crakface use his name and House nikka in the same sentence?
seriously GTFOH
The magnanimity and moral integrity of what he did and sheer impossibility of the choices he had to make confound reason and cannot be reduced to such simple simon racewar shyt. It is possible to be conflicted about some of those choices without descending to the bullshyt revisionism that I've been seeing.
And miss me with the scorned ex-wife Winnie quotes. She forfeited her right to be heard when she sanctioned atrocities committed against black children.
