Nelson Mandela Dead At 95

New submitter Emilio Hodge writes "Nelson Mandela, the revered statesman who emerged from prison after 27 years to lead South Africa out of decades of apartheid, has died, President Jacob Zuma announces. He was 95." Mandela's death is covered by lots of news sources, of course, including The New York Times and The Washington Post.

    How is this relevant on /.? I mean no disrespect, but this is a topic for more mainstream news sources, not a site dedicated to technology.

    Slightly revisionist history, Reagan & Thatcher opposed "sanctions". They didn't support apartheid.

    We can now look forward to a South Africa that will no longer be the rape capital of the world.

    Oh dear oh dear, been reading the Socialist History revisionist pamphlet have you?
    "Reagan and Thatcher supported Apartheid", please do some research, preferably not on wikipedia, and revert.

    A man truly worthy of the title 'hero'. Rest in Peace. You achieved the goal to which you devoted your entire life.

    He sure did.

    Indeed. Only a mere twenty years ago, South Africa was a merely nuclear power with a space program, and now it's a....

    Precisely, which is why your desire for "erase names from blah blah" is irrelevant. I don't believe in erasing anything from history, by the way, you fucking collectivist Orwellian pig monster, but trust me, to me Mandela and his communism is the stuff that should be erased from LIFE, but not from history.

    No, he will not be missed at all. A marxist extremist. It took 27 years of prison to tame him somewhat. His life legacy was fucking up the one good African country south of Sahara.

    ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!

    Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

    The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

    Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

    What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

    How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

    And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

    But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

    They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

    Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
