Cantor, O'Reilly, Limbaugh and many other far right spokespersons claim that Mandela did some good things but condemn him for being a communist.
Of course, they're lying ... and of course, they're racists who won't face the truth: Reagan was against overthrowing Apartheid, as was most of the republican party. The United States did absolutely nothing to help Mandela and the African revolutionaries bring Apartheid -- with all its horrors -- to an end. In fact, most of the industrialized west -- including England -- argued for a far more "gradual" termination of South Africa's racist laws.
Unlike the leaders of England and America who opposed ending Apartheid, Gaddafi, Arafat, Castro, and the Russians and Chinese wholeheartedly embraced Mandela and his goals. In simple terms, it wasn't American leaders who supported the struggle against Apartheid, it was the communists and socialists of the world who got behind the struggle to end governmental racism. Period.
The truth is, Mandela welcomed support from every direction. And ironically, the current government of South Africa, which he formed as its leader, is a functioning, capitalist democracy embraced by the west.
Of course, our far right enemies -- like Markle and his friends -- are still pissed that racism (in South Africa) was brought to its rightful end by a black man who welcomed any avenue of support for his movement.
Any American who criticizes Mandela for his tactics in overthrowing the bloody, cruel and oppressive government of the old South Africa, makes it clear to all of us that he or she is very much a racist themselves -- and any anger they communicate about Mandela's actions and history -- tells us they are still pissed because because slavery here no longer exists.
The real ethical, moral question isn't why Mandela accepted support from communists, but why America opposed his fight for freedom and equality!
Reality!
