Nelson Mandela…
Dr. Michael J. O’Connell noted, Nelson Mandela was an effective revolutionary, perhaps even
great. He spent nearly a third of his life in prison for the cause of destroying apartheid. This has
the face of a noble cause versus an entirely ignoble system of racial inequality.
Political leaders from the past two decades were tripping over themselves to attend his funeral.
Why taint our remembrance of the man with the puny and tainted minds such as Obama, Clinton
and Carter? On that note, why should we remember Mandela only for his courage in the face of
African violence, when the total view should include his disloyalty to Winnie, his wife, during
his quarter century of incarceration, and his loyalty to such infamous thugs as Libya's Khadaffi
and Cuba's Fidel Castro.
Something smelled bad about the celebration of Mandela's life (the stadium in Soweta was
apparently half full - not full as it is during World Cup Soccer), without a remembrance of his
innumerable warts. The moral to this story is that all men and women have weaknesses and
skeletons. Let’s once and for all realize that and stop the nonsense of idolizing fallible humans.
