Damn. I imagine it's for the best though. Hadn't he been in the hospital for like a year? He was probably suffering.

 This is devastating. Probably the only political hero I can actually stand behind. R.I.P. Nelson Mandela

Never been one for politics, but anyone working towards racial equality deserves respect.

Yah uh he was a pretty shadey guy...
Like target policemen, start terrorist oganizations, cover up your wives murders, make big bank off politics kind if shadey.
"the only type of violence we accept is organized violence in the form of armed action which is properly controlled and where the targets have been carefully selected" - Nelson Mandela

Sometimes the myth is more necessary than the man. Whatever his motivations (and I'm convinced they were virtually all good) and actions, the idea of Nelson Mandela was just as, if not more important than Nelson Mandela himself. He was an image and an idea in human form that people across both races could get behind, and his influence cannot be understated. While I'm sure he was probably capable of some pretty questionable things (nobody who obtains and maintains that level of power and influence is completely innocent), the good far outweighs the bad.
Anyway, RIP to a great man who achieved great things. He belongs to everyone.

Everything is more complicated than it looks, but it seems as though the good outweighed the bad in his case.
