I would like to share some links about the late Nelson Mandela.
1. This
is a post that I wrote in 2007, back when I was more conservative.
Although the post contains an American right-wing perspective about
South Africa, I praise Nelson Mandela near the end.
2. This is my review of the movie Invictus, a movie that highlighted not only Nelson Mandela’s skills as a leader, but also his goodness as a man.
3. My friend Felix Taylor, in his post “You might have grown up in the WCG if…“,
states: “You believed in your whole heart that Nelson Mandela was
a terrorist and a no good commie—but thankfully you grew up and
understood that Mandela was one of the few politicians (and I mean very
few) in the world who believed and practiced true Christianity. If you
can only kick yourself!” Well said, Felix!
4. Here is a 1985 debate between Jesse Jackson and Jerry Falwell about South Africa. It has a lot of good point-counterpoint.
5. Here is Mandela’s appearance in Spike Lee’s 1992 movie Malcolm X. This is one of my favorite movies, and I thought it was cool that Mandela appeared in it.
