Nelson Mandela, former sud african president, died today at the age of 95. Source : bfm tv

Rest in piece Nelson Mandela, such an amazing person and I am so glad to born South African, hope that the country doesn't fall to far , I know it's controversial

r.i.p.

Dont you feel like lot of people are dying lately? II mean Mandela, Paul Walker, Brian Griffin, Hershel from Walking dead...

"Dont you feel like lot of people are dying lately?"

Savin' that one.

>>4 Mandela's health was not that great for a good first half of the year, and a lot of people were expecting him to go back then. R.I.P Nelson Mandela.

also Paul Walker death was a very unfortunate tragedy.

Mandela was a terrible person.
lool

so what?peoples live and die

>>8
You are either a terrible troll or know nothing about history.

Either way, I want you off of this planet.

R.I.P. a great man. He changed history, he brought peace. He do not deserve to be mocked. He brought prosperity to South Africa and taught something to the world. Michael Jackson died, now him. Who is next?

Westboro church is going to protest his funeral they said they would I hope they get shot

>>11 If his funeral is being held in africa, I don't think they would take the time to travel all the way there.

ignore >>11 for being stupid

Unfortunately >11 didn't provide an article, but it's true.
They're planning to fly to South Africa and protest his funeral because Mandela was an "adulterer"

Because getting divorced and remarried twice apparently constitutes adultery in their minds. Stupid bullshit.

What are the laws about protesting and violence in South Africa? I can imagine they won't be as lenient there as we are with them here.

Them going to another country doesn't mean they have some type of "immunity" of their laws just because they are from the US. Thus they can easily get arrested for it.

Im going to guess they will be beaten, severely, by the public.

Rest In Peace Mandela ✨

rest in peace my good friend you will live on in the hearts of all mankind

>>10 The man lived with purpose in a time where man needed purpose. He, in essence, was the leader of the civil rights movement in South Africa, restoring freedom to those who were native to the land, yet were being oppressed by the colonists. Regardless of whether this effected the balance of the world around us or not, he saw urgency in South Africa's plea for equal rights and dealt with it accordingly, even after having been arrested. The man declared peaceful protest against prejudice and his chants continue to this day from the mouths of the children of those that he had helped, who can now live freely.

>>20
And >>10 didn't say or hint at anything otherwise.
I don't get why you directed that at them.

Even when you don't say something incorrect, you're still an idiot.
Good to know.

>>21 I was saying something in agreement to what he said, while encouraging him that the things he's done will never be forgotten. Very idiotic.

>>22
It's not idiotic when you've given us no prior reason to believe you're being serious or intelligent. One has the right to assume such things, when you've proven to us it's been true in the past.

>>22 Posturing your intelligence with facts that everybody already knows is considered idiotic, even when done in a fancy way.

>>23>>24 'Sounds more like an attack on me, rather than what I believed specifically.

>>25
That's because it is.
You are dumb and contradictory with your beliefs, and we all dislike you.

Figured that was obvious by now.

Wow! Is it my little meanless comment that brought all these arguments? Hahaha!

I personally think that he was a great person. I do not say he was the greatest but he was someone who stood up for black rights which had an impact on the world and I admire him for that. I am not even black. So please. We all have opinions, let me have mine. If I want to thinks he's great I don't think that your comments can change my mind . If I want to think he is a unicorn tell me I'm stupid and ****** up but you won't be able change my mind with comments. I am talking in first person but I am not talking about myself. Also I wasn't attacking anyone in >>10 I was simply disappointed by the lazy remarks. But it does not matter. Everyone has their opinions. Now we should give the poor guy a rest. He had a long life. Wow! Did I just write a book! Incredible! I hope it won't erupt into others arguments but I have the strange feeling it will...

^^ Have a good day!

he was such a great man i'm sure he's resting beautifully in peace ~

Fun fact: Mandela was racist and a terrorist.

>>29
Says who? I'm not arguing, I've just genuinely never heard that before. Do you have any articles or things as proof?

>>30 Racist is kind of the wrong word, I like to think of it more as nationalism.
I don't think white people really have any business in Africa at all and I salute his efforts to make his country for his countrymen.

>>29 to be fair, you can't really call him a terrorist. Only white people in South America thought of him like that but if some guy walked up in my house telling me I don't have rights anymore, I'd be kind of pissed off too

First impressions count too so don't get offended when you break into someone else's house and they fuss at you for leaving an empty carton of milk in the fridge at breakfast time

>>32
>you can't call him a terrorist
I can and I just did
>only white people in South America
South America, huh?

>First impressions count too so don't get offended when you break into someone else's house and they fuss at you for leaving an empty carton of milk in the fridge at breakfast time

wut

>>33 I was being facetious _-_ this Is what I get for coming on the news section..

Anyways, how did Nelson Mandela terrorize people? Could you be specific? I don't doubt your or anything - I kind of just want to know

>>31 I would hesitate to call him a terrorist. I don't believe he was perfect (neither did he) but the link you provided did not convince me. It's like blaming everything that happens in America on the President, or, I don't know, liberals. The President has power, but not all the power. Mandela could not possibly have stopped all racism towards whites even being the President.

I agree with you on one thing, I don't think whites had/have any place in Africa.

>>34 Read the link.

>>35 .. Oh.. O_O I didn't know he did all THAT.. He's in the same league as Che Guevara then.. Still, I guess it was all for the best, right?

The fact that he divorced his wife as soon as he found out she was affiliated with terrorists speaks for him heavily.

>>34 Yea? Well you fucking failed at it, newfaggot.

>>35 I suppose terrorist is a strong word and it brings to mind the idea of dirty dune coons blowing up planes or whatever.
But he used terror in warfar against the government.
I'm not saying he was wrong for it, but he was a terrorist.

I honestly don't think we (white people) should have ever left Europe.

There are white people in every populated continent, just as there are Asians, Blacks, South Americans, Australians, and(maybe a bit of a stretch) Native North Americans. A person's or people's race shouldn't matter whether or not they belong there.
However, when people go somewhere else to wrongfully force people to do something, the guilty people should be held responsible, not their whole race. Mandela did just that, he fought against the white people who were evil, and left those whites who were innocent alone.

>>38 you seem incredibly hateful for no reason

Racially equality for all! Nelson Mandela was a great man its sad to see him go... and one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter! ( I'm going to get criticized by that, but oh well)

Reminds me of this movie inequallity for all try and look it up it really makes sense sad but true

I bet he was one of us.

>>43 I think so, too.

Wasn't he in Batman?

>>44 ... what the actual fuck? Are you retarded?

>>44 ha haHAHAHAHAHa what

>>45 I meant wasn't Nelson Mandela in Batman? The black guy.

Solved.

>>49 I didn't know they were brothers.

Actually believed you were that stupid for a bit for some reason.
