Bishop Desmond Tutu Speech At SF Olympic Torch Protest

[careranimlas4]

if you give all your money away doing 'good' 'deeds' then you take the wInd out of the sails and the ship doesn't get to shoe shore up..

[wrongdooers]

China will you please let this run it's course properly? hmm property hmm

[SovietFilms]

What a prick, don’t mention the thousands of Cubans which died defeating South Africa's army in Angola which was the final nail in the apartheid coffin. Power does come from the barrel of a gun weather you like it or not. Problem is you live a lie thinking your words can change the world.

DESMOND TUTU FOR POPE!

[chancellor2009]

great speach

[thinktok]

We have a guy like TUTU who is tired of God's mission and is into POLITICS now. He should be ashamed that SA's blacks are marginalised then and now. Apartheid should never never be there in the first place. And if you have people like Tutu helping the whites to suppress his own people, I am not surprised that it happened at all.

This man is not wise nor holy and is a disgrace to his religion. Who paid for his travelling expenses???

Bush has the children of 3=4 generations in debt to China.He'll go.

Pfff, another Nelson Mandela wannabe... ;)

Seriously though it's somewhat of a PR-campaign thing.

[woozler1984]

What do you mean a Mandela wannabe?? He was one of the main campaigners who got him freed after 27 years in prison! He was as an important part of the breaking of the tyranny of appartheid as Nelson Mandela. He also (by request of Mandela) presided over the truth and reconciliation comission after apartheid was abolished and SA was free.

Desomond Tutu is a great man and should be recocnised for it!

[cadabraa]

You didn't get the sarcasm apparently, but it's alright. I agree that Tutu was important, I just get incredibly tired of all these 'religious leaders' that want to do their say just to get more followers... because really what's the point in all this anyway? Ultimately words aren't going to change the world, deeds would.

[okorewq]

Saying such a disrespectful thing against Desmond Tutu shows that YOU know nothing about the revolutionary anti-apartheid icon. You should be ashamed!

[cadabraa]

I am not ashamed at all, I probably know MORE about this than you do, which is why I am against these kind of public rallies and futile rants by these kind of people. I have been in Africa and I know for a fact that there's still a lot of apartheid-related issues going on there and yet people talk as if it's history and all good or something. Talking about being ashamed, Tutu should be abusing this for his own cause!

[okorewq]

I agree that S.Africa isn't quite an "equal"

racially yet.And maybe you don't exactly know more about it than me just that YOU'VE BEEN to Africa because I'M AFRICAN. But that's not my point. I agree with all you said but my conflict was twith you calling him a Mandela wannabe. Maybe him demonstrating for the freedom and independence of Tibet is wrong in your book but he is NOT a fame seeking wannabe. The devil, in this case deserves his due!

[cadabraa]

"Maybe him demonstrating for the freedom and independence of Tibet is wrong in your book" Trust me, I am pro Tibet and I am pro independence for them (just like I am pro-Taiwan), however it's not going to happen anytime soon. Tutu may say things I agree with, that doesn't change the fact that ultimately he says what he says for his own benefit... after all things won't change just because he says what he says. All I'm saying there buddy..

[hotpinkfeathers]

Superb speech by a legend!
