Do some research on the early years of the ANC. It was a terrorist organization which later morphed into a political organization along the lines of the IRA/Sinn Fein in Northern Ireland.
"Nelson Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South African Communist Party. At his trial, he had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilising terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists."
And what happened if you crossed the MK?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklacing
"The practice became a common method of lynching among black South Africans during disturbances in South Africa in the 1980s and 1990s. The first recorded instance took place in Uitenhage on 23 March 1985 when black African National Congress (ANC) supporters killed a black councillor who was accused of being a White collaborator.[SUP][1][/SUP]
Necklacing "sentences" were sometimes handed down against alleged criminals by "people's courts" established in black townships as a means of enforcing their own judicial system. Necklacing was also used by the black community to punish members of the black community who were perceived as collaborators with the apartheid government. These included black policemen, town councilors and others, as well as their relatives and associates. The practice was often carried out in the name of the ANC. Winnie Mandela, then-wife of the imprisoned Nelson Mandela and a senior member of the ANC, even made statements that endorsed its use.[SUP][2][/SUP] The ANC officially condemned the practice.[SUP][3][/SUP] The number of deaths per month in South Africa related to political unrest as a whole from 1992 through 1995 ranged from 54 to 605 and averaged 244.[SUP][4][/SUP] These figures are inclusive of massacres as well as deaths not attributed to necklacing."
Of course you never heard a bad thing about him, he was the darling of the main stream media. But if he wasn't sent to jail for terrorism he would have committed acts worse than his ex wife did.

He played Morgan Freeman in a movie.....
That's a tough one. Never openly support terrorism yet understand how downtrodden and beset groups of people respond with last resort. Like expecting desperate people respect proper immigration channels, naive.
Guys, the situation is a lot more complicated than what you can read in Wikipedia. I was born in Africa and trust me, if you want to make statements at least read a little more.
There is a reason why he was loved by the people and exiled from his country by the regime ... but anyways, go on with your Wikipedia conversation.

He wasn't exactly a saint like most people claim him to be. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Lol I love the way people try to deify the "good" historical figures like Mandela and Gandhi. They were both politicians who rose to great power and freed their people from oppression. Of course they committed/sanctioned barbaric violent acts. No matter what the propaganda you've been lapping up tells you, their excrement doesn't smell like roses.
Does that fall into the category of "you gotta do what you gotta do sorry about the collateral"? Should they have settled for a letter writing campaign?
I'm not condemning their methods. I am condemning the fact that their methods are being swept under the rug.
Under rug sweeping is annoying. Works good on kids. Not possible to become big fish in this world without breaking some of the Ten Commandments.
