he's also often called a "terrorist" by many right wing mouth offs without any historical context or explanation. first time I've heard him called a "horrible man", I'd like to hear some of your research based reasoning.

Nelson Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South African Communist Party. At his trial, he had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilising terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists. Here are some highlights

I asked for context here and this article like many neglects context. I would never laud the guy. He chose a peaceful resistance and stood by it while people were being murdered on the streets by the police and military. He wound up being a leader of revolt that was violent because people were being violently suppressed. He helped accomplished something and there was a historical context.
- he wasn't a horrible man he was a leader. unfortunate situation he had to literally fight for freedom. so condemn him.uuuuuu
- ...him.uuuuuu
- many people have a hard time stomaching historical political realities.uuuuuu

The label "terrorist" is used like there is no meaning or purpose, just cold hearted attacks, like its done as some sort of vendetta. "We were attacked because they hate our freedom!" Europe was freed in part through terrorism... its brutal, hard to understand I know, it might even been deemed morally wrong, who cares if Amnesty won't support him.
- hey man, innocent people died. that's fucked.albums
- right it is and? like i'm defending anybody just providing some CONTEXTuuuuuu
- he is called a terrorist like he was a psychopath. he wasn't. technically a terrorist? debatableuuuuuu
- Please name a war or revolution where no innocent people diedreanimate
- The people who founded the U.S. committed acts that could have been considered "terrorism" and where innocents were killedreanimate
- were killed, and yet no one feels the need to put as asterisk after their namereanimate
