Not the RIP Nelson Mandela thread

You'd hope, but it will not happen. Mandela is iconic.

You do know the difference between a public and private face yes? Who knows how angry he was personally? Nobody can know that. He got the power and his life's aims where achieved, that would sooth a lot of bitterness away. I suspect he would have been more angry about how his people where treated, keeping him in prison was nothing but propaganda for him, and he would have known this.

It was just lucky he live to such a vast age that not only did he live long enough to see the dreams of his youth come true, but to have a good 20 years after to enjoy them.

I know that this is a forum but please show some respect on this RIP thread

Yes, the SECOND RIP thread this lunatic has trolled in a bloody week! Of all the comments made, his has been the only one to focus on negative aspects of Mandela. If he has those views the he can and should air them on a thread of that nature, NOT the thread created in memory of Mandela.

There was no need for this!

Not real railing against anything, if you think most people will know F. W. de Klerk and what he did has much as Mandela you think that. You just have a knee jerk reaction in trying to twist everything i write into a negative.

F. W. de Klerk passing will be noted, but I can say right here right now it will not be anywhere near as on the scale of Mandela.

There's a saying, first amount equals, de Klerk, Tutu and all the others where equally important, some could argue more so, but Mandela was the figure head of the movement.
