With Nelson Mandela being on the news a lot recently, I had a question. Was he a hero or a terrorist?
Was he either? He was standing against a National Party that was implementing Apartheid laws.
Racial segregation where he was born meaning inferior medical care, education, public services and to the ridiculous of different beaches.
I'm not going to pretend to a staunch Nelson Mandela supporter of that I hero worship him however, you cannot call him a terrorist and say the National Party in South Africa were not. Its actually unbelievable to think laws like Apartheid existed into the 1990's.
If Nelson Mandela is/was a terrorist, what does that make the Governments?

Fair to say that the Governments are terrorists, only they are not accountable for anything they do, Mrs E
I don't believe Mandala was though. He only instilled terror in white SA, by giving the blacks rights.

The apartheid laws in SA got the masses to be behind Mandela release and the western leaders had to put pressure on, I do not know enough about SA to be honest but one I do believe if a freedom fighter or a man who wanted equality like nelson Mandela in 2013 would be jailed.
