Rachel really has an excellnt program on Mandela tonight

[malaise]

You can tell she's the academic in the room. Tweety also knows the history.

[Cleita]

1. Tweety is a good historian. I have no doubt about that. It's

his politics and RWing ass kissing that get to me. I have recorded the show and will watch. Thanks for the heads up.

3. Watch Tweetys interview with Pres Obama from

earlier this evening -very good.

2. When she was covering the 'pass' books - I thought she was going to tie it in to the recent...

... the recent arrests here in the USA regarding the 3 boys standing on the sidewalk waiting for the school bus up in NY.

Anyway - that is what came to mind at the time.

And yes it was a great segment

4. I always find many similarities with racism in other parts of the world

and apartheid. I did shout out that Jim Crow was hardly much different.

5. Joy Reid is making a profound point

South Africa was and is the home of the significantly larger African population who were virtually enslaved in their ancestral lands.
