RIP Nelson Mandela

 

[Take]

How can you not know who Nelson Mandela is???!? Don't they teach about him in the States, in schools, parents??

You would be surprised, more like horrified, by what they do not teach in the States anymore. Many kids these days don't even know what happened on December 7th, 1941...

Yep, we'd been at war for 826 days!

 

[The Moment]

@Take I was never taught about Nelson Mandela in school. However, I knew who he was and this is really a sad moment in history.

Mandela is truly a hero.

this is why they dont talk about him in schools...i like him even more..I only heard about him because i was in a protest group when i was 15 or so..even so..The environment he was dealing with in his life is hard to grasp truly by most ppl

He was a good guy, don't see one of those around these days. RIP

After reading so many idiotic, racist comments on Yahoo/CNN about him, I'd say #4 is in full swing. America likes to think our history and way of doing things is the only one that counts.

[SteelHorse]

Sad to loose such a great man. So few left these days.

 

[DamageINC]

I was taught about Mandela in the 7th grade haha.
He was an important figure in South Africa history, and he left behind a unforgettable legacy.
