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.
Ok I meant two, not too. And use this country is still recovering from slavery, but South Africa blacks were legally bared from holding office IIRC. Plus I never said that Obama won just because he was the first nonwhite president. I said it was likely a large factor. Oh slight tangent because this bugs me to no end, OBAMA IS NOT BLACK!! He is biracial, half black and half white, which no body seems to mention.
