Nelson Mandela

[Borachio]

Sadly Mandela has died.

It had to come one day, I know. It is still a great loss.

 

[Daird]

He was one of the greatest people of the twentieth century. It's a shame he's no longer with us.

 

[TheLastOne36]

Sad news.

He was battling illness all year, wasn't he?

RIP to a great man who will be remembered for what he did.

And in before the allegations he was a racist, just like so many others who devoted their lives to ending it.

Sad news

Good bye Nelson. You have earned your rest like most of us never could.

 

[Joecoolyo]

I never knew the man was almost a centenarian.

RIP

 

[Antilogic]

95 years is a pretty good run, and he definitely made the most of it.

RIP.

 

[Kozmos]

RIP Morgan Freeman.

 

[Luckymoose]

He was alright. Not many people are willing to call him out on the bullcrap he pulled though.

 

[Viregel]

Sad news.

He was battling illness all year, wasn't he?

Past several years, from what I've heard. Perhaps he can be immortalised in Civ?

 

[Antilogic]

The NY Times has just put up a long obituary (10 pages!) for those interested. I was going to quote a few paragraphs but that is a massive article to edit down.

 

[Cutlass]

R.I.P. Sad day.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

My favorite thing about Mandela is that he was found guilty of "Statutory Communism." Clearly doing something right.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

He was alright. Not many people are willing to call him out on the bullcrap he pulled though.

Like what?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Hurting white people.

RIP. What an incredible human being.
