Wight explains why the distortion of Nelson Mandela's legacy by champions of Western liberalism is "sickening and obscene".

Abstract:

Excerpt:

President Obama's visit to the notorious prison island in the year of Mandela’s death came at a time when inmates at the equally notorious US detention facility at Guantanamo in Cuba were engaged in a hunger strike, demanding an end to the harsh treatment and conditions of their own incarceration. This was the same Guantanamo Obama had pledged to close on his first days in office. The record shows, of course, that not only did America’s first black president fail to close Guantanamo on his first days in office, he did not close it on any day of the two terms he served.

Add to Obama's malign record the failure to address the mass incarceration of young black men within the US prison system itself, the fruits of Bill Clinton's infamous 1994 Crime Bill, and the hypocrisy becomes so thick that if it were glue you could use it to stick a passenger airliner to the runway by its wheels, safe in the knowledge it wouldn't budge.
