Commie or socialist?
I always like him in Bruce Almighty.

I guess when you play God in Hollywood, that gives you the right to bang your relatives. Wonder what Mrs. Mandela did to earn her the right to have people offed?
Is South Africa a better country today than it was when he was in prison? I guess it depends on who was getting killed by who. Apartheid was not a good thing. However, SA is the most successful African nation by pretty much any measure. Would it be so successful if African tribes had ruled it continuously? Still, crime, poverty and AIDS are rampant in SA right now. If the end of Apartheid and the rise of Mandela were such a great thing (seeing as all the media are fawning over him currently), wouldn't SA have become an even better place than it was in the 70's? Am I to assume that "whitey" is to blame?
It seems to me that if you tallied all the successes and failures, then placed them before a panel of judges who were given no geographic or race information, perhaps Mandela and his legacy wouldn't be seen as such a great thing? If we're to be truly color blind, shouldn't we yearn for a meritocracy rather than an ineptocracy? Just sayin'...

The best kind of Commie.
He did get the Nobel Peace Prize for legislation that did not allow discrimination in the work place for white folks, as they are in the minority.
I've had a couple of buddy's go on safari, landing at Johannesburg. Had pics of their van driver, and were told to take their rifles out of the cases, load them up, and listen for instructions. They never stopped at any stop sign, etc. No issues either.
