A sad day Nelson was an inspiration not only to a nation but to the world
Yes he was a lot of things but in the end he made a difference.

He may have gone the way of the flesh but he did get his point across.
A man that literally stood head and shoulders above most. He was a
giant of a man who changed the world for the better. No not perfect
but he was damn close.

The single person that prevented a race war in South Africa. The Truth Commissions are also another legacy to the world.

RIP a freedom fighter who never surrendered or became corrupted by the very forces he was fighting.
Wasn't he resurrected from the dead some 1,000 threads ago?

You mean ended a race war with the whites, started by the whites and continued indefinitely by the whites, that was 100 years old at the very least.
