I wish you could of had more of an impact on dumb fucks like Radiotube & Classic Material...but you will be missed.

True icon.

Classic Material is a broadly intelligent cat... should never be mentioned in the same sentence with Radiotube

RIP to him. He had always been portrayed as a Saint in our media, and he very well may have been. I have also seen people suggest he was an NWO tool. I'm gonna read more about him but RIP regardless.

RIP Nelson, even though he had a white first name...

his "I had a dream" speech was very inspiring...

I will say though that all this glorification of Mandela is very unbalanced in America.  I mean, most these people don't really know about Mandela, South Africa, or apartheid.  Many economic, crime, corruption, quality of life indicators, etc. don't bode well in Mandela's favor.  I'm far from an expert on the issue but I think people should be a little more balanced, I'm surprised at all the unquestioning support for Mandela in America.  I even heard these local sports talk guys devoting a whole half hour of the show to Mandela.  And that was sports talk...

[Sikotic™]

Things wewre better during apartheid. Blacks had their own bathrooms n shit. It was like one big block party in the slums.

I'm saying that to just blindly champion Mandela is like congratulating The Emporer On His New Clothes!

You'll be surprised to know that quality of life indicators went down for not only whites after apartheid, but for blacks as well!  Average incomes for blacks dropped like 30% since Mandela took over, and something like 1 in 3 women can expect to get raped.  It's became the murder and crime capital of the world since Mandela took power.
