As if , and what's ludicrous is that mandela knew what would happen if he didn't go the reconciliation route, as we do here
He knew apartheid had no power base left so it was about the future without them and making sure they didn't destroy it, whereas here gm is hardly retiring.

As usual a piss poor analogy from the apologists.

What might be a better version is to ask why he didn't let them get on with their racism in one part of the country while he set up a democratic republic in another part of the country. If that had happened we know damn well he would have been putting enormous pressure on them to change.
