He WAS NOT a terrorist


Seriously people get your s h i t together. Nelson Mandela fought against an unjust occupation that was designed to destroy the actual Native people of South Africa. But people call him a terrorist. Nobody on this board is calling any of the mudering European occupiers terrorists. They were the ones who landed in other people's country, told them they were inferior, stole from them, murdered them, persecuted them, and exiled thousands of them from their homeland. And a man who does what he can to end it is labelled a terrorist? Is this 1975? I guess if Westerners or Europeans label freedom fighters as terrorists then everyone else in the world just has to accept it, which is total nonsense.

Nobody calls George Washington or Theodore Roosevelt terrorists even though they massacred thousands of American Indians, Washington owned slaves, and they stole land from the Native people of America. Yet their faces are on money while people still find reasons to insult Nelson Mandela. All of which is a racist double standard. That said I hope Dennis Haysbert wins his Oscar dammit.

I also think white Americans should leave the continent, but how can I accomplish this? Must I become a terrorist, to liberate the Native Americans? ;)

I lived through Mandela's presidency, and it was good, he was basically on par with a Western government. I am simply judging the ANC which he is a symbol of. He was a very different man when he was young, you must take that into account. ANC pamphlets from the 1960's boast about how many white people they killed over the weekend and such, very shocking stuff.

And if you want to know about the positive elements of apartheid, why not read this short article by the Saint Leo University, and let me know what you think: http://www.unomaha.edu/itwsjr/ThirdXV/JervisAfrikaners.15.htm

The link isn't working. But I'm at least glad someone is willing to speak on this board with some intelligence. Everyone else just seems to be spewing crap.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but try that link again. It's definitely working. Just paste the following line into your Internet browser url:

He was a terrorist, he was responsible for murdering innocent people both black and white, he even admitted to ordering planning and giving permission for terrorist attacks to be carried out, one of those terroist attacks being the church street bombing where 70 innocent people both black and white were killed and dozens more were wounded.

There is nothing brave about hurting and killing innocent people, that is evil disgusting dispicable and cowardly.

So what is Al-Qaeda, are they terrorists, they are fighting to Arab lands of Western Powers

Are the PLO/PFLP/Hamas/Fatah not terrorists, they are trying to get rid of the Israelis who occupy there land

The Various organisations that call themselves the IRA, fighting against Partition on the island of Ireland, The Ulster Loyalists opposing the Irish Republicans, all terrorists.

No matter how you look at Mandelas activities, he was a terrorist, he was at the top of an organisation that was basically proscribed by the government, I am all for equal rights, fair treatment, but I won't accept that Mandela was not a Terrorist, I think he did great things for South Africa and became something of a figurehead for the country, his release dragged S.A out of international isolation, but he is, and always will be, a terrorist...

Before I forget, parts of the British Army were terrorists, the Black and Tand were ruthless in Ireland during the War of Independence

Joe Stalin was a Terrorist, he terrorised people who refused to toe the party line

The last U.S Regime setup Guantanamo Bay Prison, where torture has been rife for nearly 10 years

good cause.Non-violence didn't work,terrorist acts did work!
