He was no MLK. He and MLK both fought against racial injustice but Mandela used murder and terrorism to do it. He's no hero of mine.

You're right, he was no MLK. Mandela overthrew the evil régime he dedicated his life to oppose. MLK, God rest his soul, was murdered by it. Both great men, nonetheless.

He was a communist who adopted a socialist face. I never considered him a great leader. If anything, he was a symbol while his wife did all the dirty work. Either way, I hope he had a relationship with God.

I'm sure he had a relationship with God. He was able to forgive his enemies and devoted his life to helping his country. I think that speaks volumes about the man.

South Africa started going down the ****ter before apartheid ended, although the issues were only in their infancy. When Mandela came to power, South Africa had all the best chances of growth, empowerment and reconciliation available to them. Today it's a state where nothing really has changed since the end of apartheid. You have massive corruption, abuse by the ANC who have become so contempt during their two decades in power that they've pretty much abandoned all of the morals and goals set out by Mandela. You have drug epidemics, extreme poverty everywhere and a police force that has no issues with killing people.
"You have drug epidemics, extreme poverty everywhere and a police force that has no issue with killing people"---Are you talking about South Africa or the United States of America?
