I see you have no character. Or maybe it's no skill in comprehension. Stay ignorant, then.

And you also have absolutely no understanding of what happens when a government grants rights versus a government recognizing inherent rights.

Wasn't the only thing he was wrong about—and that is bad enough. Question is, did he repent of that or not? Record does not indicate he did.

Don't believe a word he says. He knows few of us will slog through 2 constitutions, so he's hoping we will accept his statements without examination. In fact, the S.Africa constitution is pretty decent, recognizing many more rights than the USA, for instance. The USSR catalogs rights, but, as you suspected, they are ignored in practice. And you won't find anything like this in the S. Africa constitution:

"Citizens of the USSR are obliged to safeguard the interests of the Soviet state, and to enhance its power and prestige.

"Defence of the Socialist Motherland is the sacred duty of every citizen of the USSR.
Betrayal of the Motherland is the gravest of crimes against the people."

The USSR constitution also enshrines socialism as the guiding principle of the nation, which is nowhere seen in the SA document.

Nelson Mandela Has Died At 95; North Korea pays tribute, sends condolences

North Korea pays tribute to Nelson Mandela

Last Updated: Saturday, December 07, 2013, 14:08
North Korea on Saturday sent its condolences to South Africa over the death of Nelson Mandela, praising his "struggle against racism and for democracy" in the country.

Kim Yong Nam, president of the Presidium of the North's Supreme People's Assembly (parliament), sent a message of sympathy to South Africa's president Jacob Zuma, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

Kim expressed "profound condolences" to the South African people and Mandela's family, it said.

The message marked North Korea's first official reaction to the death of the anti-apartheid leader.

Kim said in his message that "the feats performed by Nelson Mandela in the struggle against racism and for democracy in South Africa would always be remembered by the South African people and progressive mankind," the agency reported.

Kim expressed hope that "the South African government and people would register successes in their efforts to build a new, prosperous society as desired by the deceased under the leadership of the president", it said.

A point totally lost on the naysayers. SURE Mandela became a terrorist given no other options and SURE the communists were the only ones willing to help him out to get justice over there. But once the evil had been overthrown, he changed his stripes and did NOT go after the white people. If he was as evil as we're being sold, he WOULD have done Zimbabwe and other places that had very different outcomes.

And he spent the rest of his life trying to build peace. I guess some folks don't understand what redemption and forgiveness are. :(

hmmm..is that right?
You tell me.

What has "history say about him" now?
What did he do while president?
What did he say when he came to NY..to Calvin Butts church?
What did he say when he visted BOYS and GIRLS high school[I was there with my soon to be wife,mind you..amidst the hundreds of other people].
What has his actions shown? any terrorist activities?
If he was such a horrible man..why is he so revered?
Compare his status with your icons GWB and company AND practically every single republican living..who are hated by damn near everyone..

Could you blame him for anything he may have done when faced with extermination..or are you just like a duck..walking and shitting at the same time..not giving a damn about "his cause.."or the brutality he and others faced at the hands of the whites..yet you wave you PATRIOTIC FLAG HERE..in the comfort of your basement..secure in you belief..secure in your WHITENESS..that such a horror can and will NEVER happen to you.

You are a hypocrite...a hateful disconnected bitter pound of flesh who's only regret is he could not be "glorified" in the minds of others.

You eventually will live up to your name..but TODAY..you are a little less the the sum of everything that makes this world so fucked up.

Are Jews a Race?

In the 1980s, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Jews are a race, at least for purposes of certain anti-discrimination laws. Their reasoning: at the time these laws were passed, people routinely spoke of the "Jewish race" or the "Italian race" as well as the "Negro race," so that is what the legislators intended to protect.

But many Jews were deeply offended by that decision, offended by any hint that Jews could be considered a race. The idea of Jews as a race brings to mind nightmarish visions of Nazi Germany, where Jews were declared to be not just a race, but an inferior race that had to be rounded up into ghettos and exterminated like vermin.

But setting aside the emotional issues, Jews are clearly not a race.

Race is a genetic distinction, and refers to people with shared ancestry and shared genetic traits. You can't change your race; it's in your DNA. I could never become black or Asian no matter how much I might want to.

Common ancestry is not required to be a Jew. Many Jews worldwide share common ancestry, as shown by genetic research; however, you can be a Jew without sharing this common ancestry
, for example, by converting. Thus, although I could never become black or Asian, blacks and Asians have become Jews (Sammy Davis Jr. and Connie Chung).

While the Jewish people began with the descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, many people have converted to become Jews over the millennia--beginning with the "mixed multitude" that came with us out of Egypt. Today there are African Jews, Japanese Jews, even Eskimo Jews. It seems difficult to call such a mixture a "race".

While most Jews may share a common ancestor, they are NOT a race. Perhaps you are the one who needs to get a grip on history and reality. Or at the very least, stay down in your bunker where you devise these squalid thoughts and stay clear of all interactions with the real world.

Did he refer specifically to Conservative Judaism, the religion?

Yes. He said "I am a Conservative Jew", not "I am a conservative Jew". A failure to recognize the meaning of the upper case C is a clear indication of being totally out of touch with Judaism. That would not be an issue except for CMM's insistence that he knows how Jews should think.
