"Famous Nice Black Man Dies!," writes a columnist who's fed up with Mandela Media Coverage


As the world is mourning and celebrating the life of the great Nelson Mandela, one columnist tends to think we are being dramatic....yes dramatic!

Rod Liddle, a writer for the Spectator Magazine  is bothered by all the coverage Mandela’s passing is getting. Below is a piece of his rant he wrote in the magazine.

But for Christ’s sake BBC, give it a bloody break for five minutes, will you? It’s as if the poor bugger now has to bear your entire self-flagellating white post-colonial bien pensant guilt; look! Famous nice black man dies! Let’s re-run the entire history of South Africa. That’s better than watching the country we’re in being flattened by a storm.

We are all entitled to our opinions but, what are your thoughts on this?
