→Mandela was convicted of terrorism
::I'm not going to argue with you. You've convinced me. Mandela was evil and fighting apartheid was wrong the same way 9-11 was wrong. It's all the same thing and the blacks of South Africa should have been content to live under the system as it was. One thing, though: "''like the ANC trying to overthrow an elected government. ''" Elected by WHOM? Does the fact that most of the people who lived under South African rule had no right to vote one way or the other not complicate your argument at all? And as for whether or not apatheid had anything to do with colonialism, why were there Europeans in South Africa to begin with?[[User:AliceBG|AliceBG]] 21:37, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

That is the same as saying Canadians should be allowed to vote in American elections, no they shouldn't because it is not their country. Similarly Blacks could vote in elections in their Bantustans.
Residency in a place is immaterial if you don't have citizenship.
Europeans were in Africa because they were, by enlarge, displaced people looking to start a new life. French Hugenots fleeing persecution following the Edict of Nantes and poor Frisians and Dutchmen.
