Funny how The United States considered Nelson Mandela a terrorist until 2008… and now he is regarded as some sort of saint.
If he did what in did in the present time, he was be labelled a terrorist. margaret thatcher was right to label him one in my opinion.
Terrorism is Terrorism people.
My heart is so full right now.
R.I.P NELSON MANDELA.
Thank you for everything that you did for humanity.
God bless the African people and there descendants all over the world.
Amen.
F*** you Racist b****.

R.I.P (Young Jeezy Voice) :-*
Why is it that every time someone dies you post the celebrities thoughts on the death? Why can’t you just make a respectful post about the person who passed saying RIP without enfolding everyone else’s memories.

In before BeYAWNce’s handwritten, misspelled, letter about how Nelson Mandela has inspired her and how personally devastated she is
RIP Mr Mandela a true legend. @Jer why are you more worried about Beyonce than his death? Shame on you. Beyonce already tributed him anyway on Instagram with a perfectly appropriate message anyway.
Beyonce will probably perform ‘I will always love you’ & ‘halo’. 🙂
Mariah isn’t full white she’s black as well. PS Stephy your comment is ignorant!! I’m black so u know
She is very boring and predictable… did she even know who Paul the much overrated walker was?
South Africa has lost its icon..
RIP sir.
The insensitivity of some of yall is appaling…..as a South African all i can do is thank him for MY freedom, this man worked to the bone, sacrificed 27 years of his life in jail just so i can walk freely in the city, be able to get a real education and be able to have white friends and even marry a white person…..i thank you TATA for my freedom!
^^ Ugh at all these South Africans coming out of the woodworks now that I have made it the “in” thing to be South African… My impact on TGJ is REAL!!!!!!
RIP to the father of the nation and the icon of the whole world.
you lived, you loved, you achieved!
In the time it took you to type this, you could have googled him and been somewhat informed.
R.I.P.and god bless he was able to see 95 years thats a well live life
Who spends 27 years in prison only to serve 4 yrs as president?One of the most selfless human beings ever.R.I.P Nelson Mandela,we’ll never get another
RIP Mandela. Shocked at some of the comments posted here. A man has died doesn’t matter if you knew him or not. Could we show some respect and stop acting ghetto for one second. Is that too much to ask.
RIP nelson mandela you have inspired other great leaders like Mugabe your legacy shall always be remembered.
rumor: shakira single to feature rihanna!!
The world has lost one of the greatest people who ever lived. Thank you for your teachings on love,kindness and brotherhood that we will all cherish forever. R.I.P to a true legend.

Tata
R.I.P tata..it is because of you that i can have white friends,it is because of you that i can go to a south african university and study with white people without being labelled… i can gross the borders of south africa without any fear. you brought so much to us black people from all walks of life..you have put this African continant on the map.. my heart goes to your family especially Winnie.. True legend who has leaved his foot prints on the sands of time.. love you tata!
Ignorance and negativity does not get you anywhere…if u do not know about something or someone then keep quiet…don’t pass judgement based on what you heard others who were also ignorant like you said.
RIP
Why the sadness? He was 95 years old. South Africans are celebrating a life well lived and so should we. RIP sir Mandela
You sound uneducated and delusional after sharpeville , massacre where 69 Africans were shot by the racist Afrikaans regime Mandela began to state that violence was necessary for freedom to be achieved .
You sound totally naive and disrespectful and cannot live anywhere except Russia or Eastern Europe with those type of views.
Because if you don’t you sound even more stupid, as the western civilisations of uk and USA were built upon oppressing black people and ethnic minorities.
Get an education!
R.I.P to a great man Nelson Mandela.is legacy will live. on.
Mariah is partially white u dumbass. She is mixed. RIP Mandela.
RIP Nelson
I agree there´s nothing to be sad about. Just to celebrate what he achieved. It was time. My first time hearing about him was long ago when Whitney Houston did a huge concert in his honour in South Africa around 1994 or so. Memorable.
Thank You So much for everything Tata, We as South Africans and The rest of the World will forever Love,Respect and Appreciate your Existance. Lt us all Celebrate him and his contribution towards love, peace and Freedom. I a Proud To have lived in your time. I as a young Black South african am so greatfull for your struggle. R.I.P Father.
you ridiculous human being
