too or two.
Hmmm...well being that the US is still suffering from the after effects of slavery and having to endure Civil Rights movement that only recently saw minorities making strides in posts ONLY held by majority White men, it's really not all that different.
Mandela simply was elected first as the first Black head of state of a White run country so I do not buy your argument that he won the award because of his color.
