PERFEC

I heard yesterday that Winnie Mandela was quoted as saying that she and many black South Africans have come to consider that Nelson Mandela has failed his people by not bringing about needed change. (The phrase "sold out" was not used but that's what was meant.)
Well, who is perfect? I don't know how bad things are there. And I myself wondered at the continued poverty of the majority of the blacks there. But when you compare the current state of the blacks in South Africa with those in other African nations, and, for me, the flow of history of South Africa compared with what has arisen in the United States based on our acceptance of the "rightness" of the American Revolution, . . . I still admire Nelson Mandela and all those who stayed the course of peaceful change, relying on GOD, and prayer.
