A Remarkable Tribute to Nelson Mandela

[joboo]

"South African artist, Marco Cianfanelli built this remarkable statue of Nelson Mandela in honour of the 50-year anniversary of his imprisonment. The monument is constructed of 50 separate steel bars and is located on the exact spot of his arrest that occurred under apartheid rule in 1962."

You can't necessarily a fault a man for standing up to his principles.

That's the spot where he was arrested, and it marks the beginning of his story over which he stood his ground against the government in ending apartheid.

Switch the labels around, and some would be saying he was a great man for what he accomplished.

i.e.

"From 1948 until early 1994 Apartheid was made law in South Africa, even though it is considered to have been a violation of international law. The idea of 'grand apartheid' was essentially one of political separation, while 'petty apartheid' had more to do with segregation.

People in South Africa were segregated into categories of white, black, Coloured, Indian (or Asian). In 1958 Blacks were deprived of their citizenship. There were separate schools, buses, shops and hospitals for blacks and coloured people and the services available were well under the standard provided for the minority whites. Even laws were different. A black man found raping a white woman for example could expect years in prison, whereas a white man raping a black woman would probably be charged a small fine.

The black and coloured people of South Africa protested against this inequality led by the likes of Nelson Mandela and Ahmed Kathrada. Most of the initial protests were in the form of passive resistance. In one protest against apartheid Mandela publicly burnt his 'pass'. These passes had to be carried by all black men and they were not allowed to leave their own district without a pass. There was much unrest among the black community when the government tried to force the carrying of passes to include women.

Working with the ANC (African National Council) Nelson Mandela apartheid efforts increased and he himself began to realise that passive resistance was not winning the fight. Plans were made to bomb places of significance to apartheid, but these were always planned to avoid anyone being hurt or killed. Nelson Mandela was tried for treason and at one stage was acquitted. In 1964 though, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Under apartheid Mandela served nearly 27 years in prison but he never gave up the fight. When Mandela was imprisoned at Robben Island he continued his work and teachings. In South Africa and around the world, Nelson Mandela's anti-apartheid messages gained in popularity.

There is probably no one who has done so much to end the rule of apartheid as Nelson Mandela. He has been the voice of the people and made the message heard right around the world. Certainly Mandela did not act alone but his voice and actions held real power and the battle was eventually won.

After his release from prison in 1990 Nelson Mandela went on to become president of South Africa. Apartheid was officially ended though there is no doubt that much of the racism is still deeply rooted in the country. While Nelson Mandela is no longer president, he is highly respected and his voice is still heard. As a leader and a peacemaker Nelson Mandela was the leading force in the battle against apartheid. A battle worth fighting for and a battle won."

Manny may have started out with good intentions but all he did was replace the color of the thug that rapes the african

The ANC is so corrupt it make Zimbabwe look like Switerland.

In SA they are too poor to get guns so they rob you instead with Machetes and butcher you up for the hell of it.


The average african today is no better off then his slave brethen hundread of years before.

Screw Mandela

Looks stupid.

What if a Palestinian did the same, then things reverted back over time, would you be saying the same thing?

I have a feeling over all apartheid was better for everyone involved wether you agree or not, it kept the jigs in check somewhat akin to saddam in iraq, sure saddam was an intolerant dictator, but he kept things in check, South Africa is a confirmed shit hole now, I recently heard that rapes are off the charts there, be interesting to compare the violent crime stats now with the apartheid era

OP you're the new joeking. Why stay around a place you're hated?

its like a floater in a low flow toilet, how many times you going to try to flush that turd before you give up and walk away:)

[joboo]

Some look at the merit of an individual as a race issue, I don't see it that way. It's more of a philosophy perspective without the labels. A lot of people miss this perspective, and look for labels to make their mind up for them.

You can't fault the guy for trying to make things better even if it didn't turn out as good as he had hoped after the fact. How stupid is that?


Regardless, a pretty interesting piece of art.

Idont give a Rats @$$ about what a Pali does from they dont.

It aint my business.


But hears the thing: all of life is a circle so things that gett better will eventually turn to crap, then get better.

The Players change ........ The length of the cycles change...... but the cycle remains




The historical cycle seems to be: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to apathy; from apathy to dependency; and from dependency back to bondage once more.

I'm just not understanding the mindset as to why Mandela is to be hated for what he tried to accomplish.

27 years in jail, he could have said screw it, got out long before that by giving up. Instead he inspired millions of people, and tried to make a difference.

I can't touch that, and I doubt few very could.

I figured it would be a matter of time before you did a copy and paste of you ad hominem garbage again.

You don't find it odd that anyone would put down an individual that willingly sacrificed 27 years of their life rotting in jail for others?

You think that has to be some kind of weird jew conspiracy projection?

Right...get some help.
