Nelson Mandela: a forgotten speach?

Some of us can remember when Mandela was released. Some of us can remember the joy that was created on that day, and some of us will never forget the words spoken at Mandela's inaugural speech in 1994

Lest we forgetOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in EVERYONE!
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

i thought that aswell, why would you make a post on someone's speech, maybe sunny boy is jst obssesed with our nelly.
Anyway...the reason for this thread is to highlight Mandella's words from 10 years previously.When he was released from his 28 years of incarceration, many of us thought that a new light was shining on the world and that with his release, a powerful movement of international solidarity for both justice and freedom would ensue.
It didn't really work out that way entirely...but at least we should not forget the hopes and the dreams of those wonderful halcion days.
We are now awaiting for the next spark...could it be that the murderous occupation of Iraq will be that spark?
Just a thought like
one is allowed to have thoughts on these boards are they not??
You're all over the place on these boards aintcha
a he borrowed them and b, there is some question over whether he said them or not

They will mr J.
Not in south Africa though
Yeah.
Winnie Mandela's hopes to take corruption and greed to whole new levels should never be forgotten :yeees:
Hmmm, perhaps we should also remember the great lengths the apartheid state and its media went to, in order to present her as an evil woman - as for corruption and greed - are you suggesting she made more money than the Apartheid Ministers?
Winnie Mandela's 'football team' murdered ppl
That speech is the corniest pile of poo imaginable
What were NM's achievements exactly?
Did they?
More than the Apartheid Ministers?
Now did I say that?
AIDS + crime have prolly killed more ppl than Apartheid
Does it make any difference, if she did the same as apartied ministers or not?
Its a standard ploy - everyone clucks about how evil she was - and fails to put what happened into context ........
Winnie Mandela, to this day, has a lot of grass roots support in South Africa - the powerful politicians don't like that ......
that grass roots support comes into its own when your 'necklacing' an opponent
Winnie Mandela = bagoshite
who said 'average time for african leader to go insane = 2 years'?
Are you a racist slade?
Simple enough for you?
