Devaluing what black people do is what this is, I was just remarking here about that

(10,893 posts)as the RWers who try to rewrite and co-opt his past. Everyone wants to compare their political heroes to him and Mandela without putting much thought into how the two men conducted themselves or everything they went through in their lives.
