It sounds like I could teach you much about segregation and racial hatred. I've seen it and been splattered by it. I've lost friends to it, too. And I've learned from it.
When I read fury and self-righteous indignation in this thread from people; again it proves we are a mixed bunch in this club. It also shows that people are prepared to defend what they hold true.
YES, Nelson Mandela was imprisioned for more than a quarter of a century. He was also a great leader and is still a great insperation to many people around the world. Also, don't forget why he was sent to jail in the first place - he killed people. The fact that the South African government forgot to let him out and thereby turn him into a martyr was part of their undoing. Shit happens. Anyone who strives for public office should automatically be banned from holding the office they seek.
Self-moderation is probably more important than having moderation forced upon you. It makes people take you more seriously.
