— Ace The official sign-language guy at the Nelson Mandela funeral was... a fake.
He just was moving his hands randomly.
Now that I'm informed this was the case, it seems pretty obvious.
The Daily Mail has a funny quote from someone who spotted the guy as a fake: he was merely "flapping his arms about."
He translated Barack Obama's statement that Nelson Mandela was "an unwavering beacon for those seeking the shores of freedom and dignity" by just miming the hand-signals from MC Hammer's 2 Legit 2 Quit.
Okay not really. But he is basically just doing hand-jive dance moves.
I don't care who you are, this is just f***in funny. dan-O says this man is now his hero.
I wonder how long he's been getting away with this?
And just because some of you are now thinking "Hey, I want to hear 2 Legit 2 Quit."
Thanks to dan-O.

Somebody hired their cousin.
It is the tribal / third world way of doing business. Gotta keep the the family and friends employed, competence be damned. Otherwise you arte not a real leader in the eyes of you family. Family always comes first over business, government or nation.
Unfortunately it is becoming the American way of doing things also.

Uh-uh. Peruvian. The Peruvian language changes constantly because of the endemic Peruvian distrust of linguists. Peruvian sign language is essentially anything the interpreter chooses to do, with the expectation that the audience will understand what s/he means from context clues in the surroundings. So in Peruvian sign language, jumping up and down under a cherry tree while balancing an anthology of Christina Rossetti's poetry on your head could mean, "Look at my amazing hopping skills," "I have wonderful posture," or "I would like a cherry."
Of course, it could also mean, "The enemy approaches, prepare the artillery barrage." This is why Peruvian sign language has been at the heart of most of the bloodiest, most protracted wars throughout Peruvian history.
It's all about context.

He translated Obama perfectly as his speech was also 100 % bull$hit, as usual.
Posted by: dirks strewn at December 11, 2013 11:27 AM (kfcYC)
And, it's not as though sign language is a widely held skill in any country. I'd imagine in South Africa, population 50 million, with only about 5-6 million middle class Africans, there really aren't that many that are both deaf and have the educational background to do this job.
Which brings up the larger point...why is it now an international norm to have a sign language interpreter on stage for every event? This started out as a DNC thing to cater to 1/5 of 1% of the US population, as the ADA lobby is a sizable Democrat constituency. Could it be that the global left saw Obama's speeches 2008-2012 with the requisite interpreter and just assumed having an interpreter front and center is now a sine qua non condition of civility and 'progressiveness'?

He's not using the Standard Sing Language, nor the (accepted) American Sign Language type, but using the Soweto-Homeboy variant - its pretty evident by his environment and movements.

I am certainly no expert, but that won't keep me from weighing in.... We have our A.S.L.: is it possible they have K.S.L. (Kwazulu Sign Language) or something like it?

Tough cookies. We've been betrayed too long too many times under the guise of "we have to do this now so we can stick it to them later" and there's no "stick it to them late" later.
Tired of being labeled idiot and being sneered at because I don't want to have to dig a survival garden in my back yard because the US economy tanked over the amount of debt we have.
They can't find anything to cut that's either a scam or bs? Then don't make the deal.

We're far enough into the thread that I think I can go OT and say the nominations are out for the SAG Awards, and I'm proud to say I haven't heard of at least 2/3 of the movies that got nominated. As for the TV categories, the only people I'd like to see win are either Steve Buscemi or Peter Dinklage for Best Actor in a Drama Series (not because I watch the shows, but because I know they're great actors) and the stunt ensemble for "The Walking Dead." All the rest of them are dead to me.
And why exactly did the cast of "Arrested Development's" poorly received Netflix resurrection get nominated for a best ensemble in a comedy award?

show of hands on who wants another walks into a bar joke. Okay none. I'll do it anyway and that will produce a new post.
A horse walks into a bar and orders a beer.
The bartender leans over and asks the horse " I've notice you're very successful with the ladies. What's your secret"
The horse says " well for one, I'm hung like me "

THE TRUTH ABOUT NELSON MANDELA
His Crimes:
This is what Terrorist Nelson Mandela was indicted for:
Should any person in the US today be indicted for similar crimes, no doubt he would be incarcerated without trail in Guantanamo bay for life.
..The Crimes of Terrorist Nelson Mandela
Read here the crimes of the clever terrorist Nelson Mandela (most have never heard of, denied the opportunity by the treacherous liberal media) and understand why Amnesty International never accepted him as a political prisoner. Even as the world finally woke up to how wicked Winnie Mandela is, we must face reality about how dangerous and deceitful Nelson Mandela has been.
The fact is that even Amnesty International refused to take on Nelson Mandela's case because they asserted that he was no political prisoner but had committed numerous violent crimes and received a fair trial and a reasonable sentence.
Nelson Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South African Communist Party. He had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilizing terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela's MK terrorists.
South African President P.W. Botha had, on a number of occasions, offered Nelson Mandela freedom from prison, if he would only renounce terrorist violence. This Mandela refused to do. - Invictus Idolatry

MandelaÂ’s Legacy:
Nelson Mandela's Legacy: 210 White Farmers Murdered by Blacks (Per Year) Since 1994 in South AfricaWhat is Nelson Mandela's legacy? Genocide Watch tells us simply this: Since 1994, more than 70000 (and counting)white South Africans have been murdered of which more than 4000 were commercial farmers. Exact figures are very hard to come by as the South African police fail to report most of the murders that take place.
Nelson Mandela unleashed the black rippers in South Africa. These numbers are thus conservatively estimated. As the white population of South Africa was 4 434 697 according to the official state census in 1996, and more than 400 000 white South Africans have left the country, it could be estimated that nearly 2% of white South Africans have been murdered in the 18 years of democracy. Compare that to the 7518 black people that were murdered by the Apartheid government, which comes to a percentage of 0.02% of the black population. (And no, you can't compare people killed by the security forces with people killed by civilians, but I'm sure that if you look up white on black civilian murders during Apartheid, it would still be very low indeed.)There were roughly 128 000 commercial farmers in South Africa in 1980. Today there are 40000 commercial farmers left in South Africa. Since 1994, more than 4000 farmers have been murdered and many more maimed, tortured, raped and assaulted. It was established that more white farmers die per year is South Africa than soldiers in Vietnam
Remember the truth of lynching in the United States? Though Oprah Winfrey claimed "millions of black people were lynched," it turns out 3,446 blacks were lynched between 1882-1968 a period of 86 years. From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the United States. Of these people that were lynched 3,446 were black. The blacks lynched accounted for 72.7% of the people lynched. Out of the 4,743 people lynched only 1,297 white people were lynched. That is only 27.3%. Many of the whites lynched were lynched for helping the black or being anti lynching and even for domestic crimes.
So, over a span 86 years, 3,446 black people were lynched (many were lynched for actual crimes, mind you); that's roughly 40 lynchings per year vs. 210 white farmers murdered per year in South Africa..
AND NELSON’S LOVELY WIFE WINNIE “NECKLACE” MANDELA
In the late Eighties, Winnie's thuggish bodyguards, the Mandela United Football Club, terrorised Soweto. Club "captain" was Jerry Richardson, who died in prison last year while serving life for the murder of Stompie Moeketsi, a 14-year-old who was kidnapped with three other boys and beaten in the home where we would soon sit, sipping coffee. Winnie was sentenced to six years for kidnap but reduced to a fine on appeal.
Members of the gang would later testify to South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission that Winnie had ordered the torture, murder and kidnap of her own people, and even participated directly.
Her reputation was damaged by such rhetoric as that displayed in a speech she gave in Munsieville on 13 April 1986, where she endorsed the practice of “necklacing” (burning people alive using rubber tires around their necks, filled with fuel and then set on fire) by saying: "[W]ith our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country."[8] Further tarnishing her reputation were accusations by her bodyguard, Jerry Musivuzi Richardson, that she had ordered kidnapping and murder. On 29 December 1988, Richardson, who was coach of the Mandela United Football Club (MUFC), which acted as Mrs. Mandela's personal security detail, abducted 14-year-old James Seipei (also known as Stompie Moeketsi) and three other youths from the home of a Methodist minister, Rev. Paul Verryn, claiming she had the youths taken to her home because she suspected the reverend was sexually abusing them. The four were beaten to get them to admit to having had sex with the minister. 14 year old Seipei was accused of being an informer, and his body later found in a field with stab wounds to the throat on 6 January 1989.
In the words of the late Paul Harvey: “Now you know the rest of the story.....”
