@MJUSAYIN So you disregard the years of imperialism and its implications in the present? I wasn't personally involved, but you are kidding yourself if you think you got where you are today without the help of your parents parents parents parents, who were indeed involved in the exploitation of Africans in some way.

what is the song they sing at 11:45? it looks like it's from a film

Reverse racism? are you serious. These people were stripped of their land their home their pride their respect and livelihood for centuries. If you have ever been through that you would know the pain that travels through the blood of the slain? do not be foolish. Jewish people are told never to forget. Southern Americans never forget the Civil War. But, you ask Black people to forget. We must never forget! We are AFRICA!

The song at :33 "Thina Sizwe" is a beautiful lamentation!

that love song at 1:02:00 is beautiful

proud to be African although i am not from South African, but Nelson Mandela is one of the best African leaders in the whole African Nations. If all the African leaders were like Mandela, there will not be any corruptions in the African countries.
