Before criticizing someone, walk a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticize them, you will be a mile away and have their shoes.

Rest in Peace - a great leader who overlooked the brutality of his treatment to make a better South Africa.

But how do you return them when you are through with them?

How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.

RIP.

I see that I broke this news months ago. I'm glad it finally made it over the pond.

A thug who became an icon that everybody is supposed to fawn over. The guy wasn't in prison because he "opposed apartheid." He was in prison because he was a violent revolutionary. He was brutal and ruthless. Him winning the "Peace Prize" was like Atilla the Hun winning it. If you take an "ends justify means" attitude you can say he was a hero. But this guy was no saint. He may have served a purpose. But he was no "great man."

He was brutal and ruthless in opposing an abhorrent social system. Should he just have asked nicely for whitie to treat them like human beings?

Now make it Dal and Kleenie and you would be in serious trouble.

Good riddance. As I said in the locker room a low life thug who became an icon because it fit the narrative. Nobody cared about what he actually DID. Just a matter of him being the face of a movement.

He was a Freedom Fighter. The same could be said about George Washington
