Every country has 'terrorists', wether it be Guy Fawkes wanting to blow up Parliament or a bunch of idiots throwing tea into a river because of taxes that had to be raised because of them.
Tossing British import taxed tea into Boston Harbor did not entail the racial killing of whites to be certain. I prefer coffee myself, and good brew. The American Revolutionary War came about because the English crown decided to punish colonials through taxation and restriction overseen by loyalists, much like the carpetbaggers and jayhawkers of a later war. Whites did not kill whites because they were white.
Giving the fact that hindsight is 20/20 but others desperately wish to paint it otherwise, we do have the results and means of what happened in South Africa to go by.
Mandela was a terrorist, subversive, communist that got his support from outside influences, whose intentions are in stark contrast to any claim of victimhood or pacifist design.
And I disagree with liars.
