You forgot, responsible for the demise of South Africa. Nope that would have been the Brits, the Dutch & the Afrikaans Nationalists. Mandella was a product of the policies and actions of those people.

He was no different than Osama Bin Laden. I don't see anyone calling him a hero.
Murderous terrorist that deserved to be hung at the time for sabotage and espionage, but due to the good nature of the then white government, they spared his life.
What a silly mistake.

...due to the good nature of the then white government. OK, my turn to LOL! Biggenz, until you can get a sense of perspective, it is very hard for others with less of a personal axe to grind to take what you say as anything other than blinkered ranting.

"In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself". To be fair Mr Einstein was never a great human rights activist now was he?

A man.
Not evil personified nor a paragon of virtue.
It is possible to recognise his flaws and his achievements.

And that was why he was such a great man. You've got to think that the reason he was a great man was for, you know, the breakthroughs in theoretical physics. If 'not being a human rights activist' was the only requirement for greatness then even you'd count as a great man.

I don't really know anything about him other than the fact he's now dead and a song called "Freeeee Nelson Mandela" to be honest here. My bad.

Google him then....educate yourself! I too couldn't give an informed comment on the man but I do find it very difficult to form an opinion on people like this after the event. It was the same with Maggie Thatcher. Because they are such iconic people and seem to provoke such strong feelings in people it seems that everything you read or hear is almost certainly very biased one way or another.

Maybe not, but you can identify the key points in his life without too much of a political slant. So you have no real knowledge of his life or past, yet you are quick to defend him? What, is it purely because he was black?
