Don't you think it is time that Mandela we stop hero worshipping Mandela and see him as the terrorist he is?

Question

Please forgive the error. The question should read: "Don't you think that it is time we stopped hero worshipping Mandela and see him as the terrorist he is?"

Answer 1

WELL SAID PAUL196

YOU DON, T HEAR HIM SHOUT AT MUGABI DO YOU WHY IS THAT

COS HE,S BLACK

SOMEONE ELSE IS PULLING THE STRINGS

HAVE A WILD GUESS

Answer 2

I can't believe you would even say that,

Mandela is great influence and he changed history.

he is not a terrorist!!!! :\

Answer 3

so hes a terrorist now.

Answer 4

Lunatic.

Answer 5

Mandela is not a saint, but together with de Klerk he led South Africa into majority rule without the massive bloodshed whch had been predicted. It speaks volumes about both men that they could take South Africa through this transition with the emphasis being on truth and reconciliation, not revenge.

Many would argue that his terrorist activity (which was sabotage against strategic property targets, not killing people) was a legitimate response to an illegal minority government. Were the French resistance of WW2 terrorists?

Most who decry Mandela solely as a terrorist, hold 'robust' views about race in other areas.

Answer 6

NO you mad b*****d!!

Answer 7

Yes, it is certainly time.  He WAS a terrorist, pure and simple, supporting such acts as the bombing of bus stops which resulted in the deaths of totally innocent people, including the black people of South Africa whom he claimed to be representing in his actions.  

He also was given the opportunity to be released from prison more than once, simply by publicly renouncing such terrorist acts.  He refused to do so.

These are all "inconvenient facts" which those with a certain agenda are trying to write out of the history books.

Answer 8

No.  Your suggestion is laughable!

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha..... See?

Answer 9

Your name gave this one away. Nice try.

Answer 10

IT was that time before we forced the Afrikaners to give up a first world nation to Communists.

Answer 11

He was convicted as a terrorist by the then apartheid government  in South Africa, although others said he was a freedom fighter.  Whatever he did in the past he served his time, brought reconciliation to his country and proved himself as a good statesman.  Let him finish his days in peace.

Answer 12

you must be joking...

Answer 13

I think you better give some more info to back up a claim like that. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Howvever, this man also happened to be an enduring symbol of the resistance against Apartheid, and then also was elected President. So, unless you know something the rest fo the world doesn't, I would probably give this one up if I wereyou.

Answer 14

I've read his autobiography and he didn't actually take part in any terrorist activity himself.

Answer 15

He is a terrorist. He and his ex-wife, Winnie, had children "necklaced," which means putting a rubber tire over his or her neck, pouring gasoline on the tire, and then igniting it. The ANC was, and still is, funded by Russian communists. Please, believe half of what you see, and nothing of what you hear. Please go past the local newspaper and do in depth research on questions before you pose them. I think that most people worshipping Saint Nelson have been force-fed a lot of c**p, which they ingested but but did not digest; therefore, accepting what is put out as the truth. My belief is that most of the questions are posed by much younger people than  myself. By the way, I am Canadian and of Jamaican-eastern European descent: no, not "white" Jamaican.

Answer 16

Is this the best you could come up with? Jabbing a man who endured more in his years in prison for a cause that he believed in than you will EVER accomplish in your whole entire life??

God, with all the issues in the world that are going on right now, you have nothing better to ask than this?

Get a life, dude.  Better yet, don't ask any questions until you can ask a valid one.

Answer 17

Another coward behind a keyboard that wants attention.

Don't give it to him.

Answer 18

OMG u are retarded.

Answer 19

wtf?????? are you part of the KKK or something??

Answer 20

Finally someone who does not think the sun shines out his ***.  Mandela was a terrorist but somehow so many forget it

Answer 21

uh..he was only called a terrorist because he tried to take down the racist government that was terrorizing his people to give africa back to the rightful owners: the AFRICANS NOT THE ENGLISH

you are only a terrorist if you try to overthrow the government and attack them but in this case it was a good thing since he wasnt being selfish they had no right to steal land and abuse people havent you ever watched the movie sarafina??

=]

Answer 22

I agree with you, we should stop hero worshipping altogether. But I think, Mandela deserves to be left alone, he did good.

Answer 23

one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.

first the UK government called him a terrorist now a freedom fighter.

so, who knows?

Answer 24

yes it is

Answer 25

You made a typo - after the "M" you should have written "ugabe" instead of "andela".

Daft question.

Answer 26

Yes.. He was a terrorist..and yes.".we" should stop hero worshiping him. He has done NOTHING  for South Africa but "feather his own nest"! Sowato is still "alive and well" and the white man is still running the the country! "Different meat...same gravy!".

Answer 27

Are you sure you are not mixing up Mandela with Mugabwe???

Answer 28

Oh yes. Look on youtube under mandela sings about killing whites. They hate white people. Like Mugabe. What have they done to condemn Mugabe-nothing because the brother is right and we are going to do the same to the whites in South Africa and the stupid British erect statues and name roads in his honour. Mandela is a terrorist and so are the members of the ANC. Their members who bombed nightclubs and student pubs are walking about scotfree and in positions of power while those whites that killed blacks during the war are incarcerated. Those of you who are confused by all this need to go and live in South Africa for at least 2 years and learn unfettered by British media what the truth exactly is.

Answer 29

Agent provo...

great monicker!

it doesn't appear as though you know anything about SA politics, at all.

it might do you good to read far more, your general knowledge suggests ignorance.

though i have an opinion, i cannot share it with an empty vessel.

Answer 30

you cant be serious

Answer 31

get  a life
