Sad news, but in reality Nelson Mandela lived a long life, and one of fighting for equality. An inspiring man who did some good with the time he had. What more could one ask to say at the end of their time on this earth? -
?No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.? Nelson Mandela

President Mandela lived a long full life. I can't imagine being imprisoned for 27 years. He was a strong and honorable man.
I found this quote I liked a lot: ?I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one?s head pointed toward the sun, one?s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.?

My favorite Nelson Mandela quote: "It always seems impossible till it's done." Hail and farewell.

I perused the webpage in question and aside from laughing at such phrases as "The nauseating outpouring of media praise for this Illuminati puppet is just that - nauseating!", I couldn't help but notice a few things that call into question the legitimacy of this work. The biggest issue is that there's no author credited for the "article". The second is that the page is titled "news" but it's an opinion piece. The third is that the site creator believes in the Illuminati and has dedicated the site to exposing secret Illuminati plots.
I might suggest reading the "article" for a laugh versus trying to learn something about Nelson Mandela. -

I might suggest reading the "article" for a laugh versus trying to learn something about Nelson Mandela. The horrible spelling and grammar, not to mention the amateur blog layout, tell you that it is nothing close to being a serious news site. Nelson Mandela's name is misspelled repeatedly and it reads like it was written by a teenager. There is also open hostility toward Jewish people throughout this "article" even though Mandela was not Jewish. This "newsheadline" is dated "December 15, 2013".
Did the conditions for black South Africans improve after Mandela swept into power? The answer is a resounding NO!!!
People LOVE Mandela because he's a "saint", they say. He brought "freedom" to South Africa, blah blah blah. He's an enemy of poverty, blah blah blah.
I think the website is supposed to be amateur satire. It would be very sad if someone actually took the time to create an entire website that is a conspiracy-lover's dream that rants on about the evils of Jewish and black people. It is also oddly obsessed with the British royal family. From their hilarious "predictions" section:
At Barack Obama's inauguration for his first term as President, Aretha Franklin thrilled jubilant onlookers with her rendition of "God Save The Queen" (renamed "My Country 'Tis of Thee"). No one understood why the music of Britian's "God Save The Queen" was scheduled for the inauguration of an American President. Another highlight of the inauguration was the arrival of Barack Obama's limousine which has been offcially named "The Beast". Anyone who is familiar with Biblical prophecy knows that "The Beast" is the Biblical term for the Antichrist and so is the number 666. The Antichrist is also called Satan and the 'Prince Of Darkness' or 'Dark (black) Prince'. The number 666 appeared in Barack Obama's campaign commercials. For his mobile and campaign text messaging, he used the numbers (62262) which adds up to 666 when the "2's" are added together.
Clearly, they are not trying to be serious.

Your points are very valid. Sadly, if that's supposed to be satire, it diesn't even do a good job of THAT!
