The great thing Mandela did was his policy of reconciliation. Sure, government services were worse, there was corruption in some places, etc etc etc. Regardless of all that, instead of trying to get revenge on white people, confiscating their land and possessions, he pursued a policy of forgiveness and reconciliation, in spite of having to spend 27 years at hard labor and living in a tiny cell with only a bucket for a toilet.
That's what made him a great man in my opinion. His policy of forgiveness and reconciliation, and his vision of a rainbow society.
One wonders if slaves in the New World would have been considered terrorists had they targeted the civilians that either actively participated in or supported the policy of keeping them in bondage, as part of an insurrection.

Quote:I'm sure they greatly improved for a certain demographic.... Yes. The majority.

If that has you upset you're not going to like a lot of freedom movements, or war in general. You need to really read up on what Allied forces did during World War II. Especially the terror bombings. Read Slaughterhouse 5.
The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.

Quote:Look up necklacing and the party song of the ANC they're no different from the KKK Mandela never endorsed the practice. So what is your point?
