For the record, this isn't the South African apartheid, any intelligent black american is more of an authority on black life in America than Mandella is.

Who said it was so great. The point was that this point of view could never be great to you unless Muhammed the Prophet was resurrected and said it himself.
And really, why would Nelson Mandella know more about how blacks are treated in the 21st centry USA than Jason Whitlock? I just don't see how Mandella would be in touch with anything here. He is a victim of real rock solid evil racism. Whitlock lives in a world of assumed racism, and that is what America is. In the South Africa that Mandella grew up in you didn't have to wonder whether or not the bus driver that refused to let you off in between stops was racist, you had to wonder whether the racist asshole was going to kill you in the beating you got or get tired before you die and you get to live. Nelson Mandella may know a lot about gun shot wounds to the head, but he may not know so much about paper cuts on the finger tip.

Assumed doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It means it's not straight forward and certain. Have you ever been told by a store clerk "hey nigger don't wander around the store with out an employee. We don't want you stealing anything", or "we don't want your nigger service". Count up how many times you've experienced racism where the racism was presented up front and did not have to be decipherd and compare it to the number of times you had to figure out it was racism (and in actuality assume the racism because you could not be certain of it but were convinced enough to think so).
