The brainworms in the comments it's just incredible. There's one actual good detailed explanation in the comments, waiting to see what :galaxy-brain: takes show up

    I was literally taught that Mandela was a terrorist in 2000’s American school

      Sounds about white.

      People really believe that Mandela had full control the MK from Robben Island somehow. Maybe he had superpowers or something? I don't know.

      Even ignoring that the regime had exhausted all non violent forms of resistance. Do they expect everyone to stand around and do nothing while 3.5 million people were removed from their homes because of the colour of their skin?

        Mandela is the only black South African these libs know and rather than admitting their own ignorance they just assume he was the one in charge of it all.

          Wait until they find out Mandela is Xhosa and the apartheid government used this against him to cause conflict between Xhosa and Zulu groups during the early 90s in an attempt to undermine the ANC before the first democratic elections.

          (Actually please don't, ethnic tensions and discourse is bad enough as it is, no need to let libs know about it and to hear their :centrist: takes)
