query: Nelson Mandela was a philanthropist.

pos: Nelson Mandela Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela ( -LSB- mænˈdɛlə -RSB- 18 July 1918 -- 5 December 2013 ) was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary , politician , and philanthropist , who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999 . He was the country 's first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election . His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid by tackling institutionalised racism and fostering racial reconciliation . Ideologically an African nationalist and socialist , he served as President of the African National Congress ( ANC ) party from 1991 to 1997 .   A Xhosa , Mandela was born in Mvezo to the Thembu royal family . He studied law at the University of Fort Hare and the University of the Witwatersrand before working as a lawyer in Johannesburg . There he became involved in anti-colonial and African nationalist politics , joining the ANC in 1943 and co-founding its Youth League in 1944 . After the National Party 's white-only government established apartheid -- a system of racial segregation that privileged whites -- he and the ANC committed themselves to its overthrow . Mandela was appointed President of the ANC 's Transvaal branch , rising to prominence for his involvement in the 1952 Defiance Campaign and the 1955 Congress of the People . He was repeatedly arrested for seditious activities and was unsuccessfully prosecuted in the 1956 Treason Trial . Influenced by Marxism , he secretly joined the banned South African Communist Party ( SACP ) . Although initially committed to non-violent protest , in association with the SACP he co-founded the militant Umkhonto we Sizwe in 1961 and led a sabotage campaign against the government . In 1962 , he was arrested for conspiring to overthrow the state and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Rivonia Trial .   Mandela served 27 years in prison , initially on Robben Island , and later in Pollsmoor Prison and Victor Verster Prison . Amid growing domestic and international pressure , and with fears of a racial civil war , President F. W. de Klerk released him in 1990 . Mandela and de Klerk negotiated an end to apartheid and organised the 1994 multiracial general election in which Mandela led the ANC to victory and became President . Leading a broad coalition government which promulgated a new constitution , Mandela emphasised reconciliation between the country 's racial groups and created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate past human rights abuses . Economically , Mandela 's administration retained its predecessor 's liberal framework despite his own socialist beliefs , also introducing measures to encourage land reform , combat poverty , and expand healthcare services . Internationally , he acted as mediator in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial and served as Secretary-General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1998 to 1999 . He declined a second presidential term and in 1999 was succeeded by his deputy , Thabo Mbeki . Mandela became an elder statesman and focused on combating poverty and HIV/AIDS through the charitable Nelson Mandela Foundation .   Mandela was a controversial figure for much of his life . Although critics on the right denounced him as a communist terrorist and those on the radical left deemed him too eager to negotiate and reconcile with apartheid 's supporters , he gained international acclaim for his activism . Widely regarded as an icon of democracy and social justice , he received more than 250 honours -- including the Nobel Peace Prize -- and became the subject of a cult of personality . He is held in deep respect within South Africa , where he is often referred to by his Xhosa clan name , Madiba , and described as the `` Father of the Nation '' .

Since those days the network has grown steadily in numbers , in influence and in its impact on the everyday lives of millions of urban poor families . Practical , face-to-face learning remains the main driving force of the SDI network that now stretches from Asia , through Africa to Latin America and the Caribbean .

neg: Burger's Daughter Burger 's Daughter is a political and historical novel by the South African Nobel Prize in Literature-winner Nadine Gordimer , first published in the United Kingdom in June 1979 by Jonathan Cape . The book was expected to be banned in South Africa , and a month after publication in London the import and sale of the book in South Africa was prohibited by the Publications Control Board . Three months later , the Publications Appeal Board overturned the banning and the restrictions were lifted .   Burger 's Daughter details a group of white anti-apartheid activists in South Africa seeking to overthrow the South African government . It is set in the mid-1970s , and follows the life of Rosa , the title character , as she comes to terms with her father Lionel Burger 's legacy as an activist in the South African Communist Party ( SACP ) . The perspective shifts between Rosa 's internal monologue ( often directed towards her father or her lover Conrad ) , and the omniscient narrator . The novel is rooted in the history of the anti-apartheid struggle and references to actual events and people from that period , including Nelson Mandela and the 1976 Soweto uprising .   Gordimer herself was involved in South African struggle politics , and she knew many of the activists , including Bram Fischer , Mandela 's treason trial defence lawyer . She modelled the Burger family in the novel loosely on Fischer 's family , and described Burger 's Daughter as `` a coded homage '' to Fischer . While banned in South Africa , a copy of the book was smuggled into Mandela 's prison cell on Robben Island , and he reported that he `` thought well of it '' .   The novel was generally well-received by critics . A reviewer for The New York Times said that Burger 's Daughter is Gordimer 's `` most political and most moving novel '' , and a review in The New York Review of Books described the style of writing as `` elegant '' , `` fastidious '' and belonging to a `` cultivated upper class '' . A critic in The Hudson Review had mixed feelings about the book , saying that it `` gives scarcely any pleasure in the reading but which one is pleased to have read nonetheless '' . Burger 's Daughter won the Central News Agency Literary Award in 1980 .

neg: Oh Baby Don't You Weep `` Oh Baby Do n't You Weep '' is a song recorded in 1964 by James Brown and The Famous Flames . Based upon the spiritual `` Mary Do n't You Weep '' , it was recorded as an extended-length track and released as the first two-part single of Brown 's recording career . It peaked at # 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at # 4 on the Cash Box R&B Chart . ( At the time of the single 's release , Billboard 's R&B singles chart had been temporarily suspended ) . It was the last original song featuring the Famous Flames to chart , not counting the 1964 re-release of `` Please , Please , Please '' and the 1966 B-side release of the Live at the Apollo performance of `` I 'll Go Crazy '' .   `` Oh Baby , Do n't You Weep '' was originally issued with dubbed-in audience noise to simulate a live recording and added to the otherwise authentic live album Pure Dynamite : Live At The Royal . The song 's last-minute addition to the album helped make it a hit , propelling it to # 10 on the Billboard album chart .   Brown plays the role of the song 's narrator , a man comforting a woman devastated by lost love :   The Famous Flames support Brown 's lead vocal with gospel-inspired chants of `` Oh baby , do n't you weep '' . During the course of the song , the theme suddenly changes , as Brown sings of famous entertainers he has met in his travels ( `` I 've got a lot of friends in my business '' ) , and then begins to quote titles of songs recorded by them , such as Jackie Wilson ( `` You Better Stop Dogging Me Around '' ) , Solomon Burke and Wilson Pickett ( `` If You Need Me ... Call Me '' and `` It 's Too Late '' ) , Sam Cooke ( `` You Send Me '' ) Ray Charles ( `` Born To Lose '' ) and Famous Flames member Bobby Byrd 's solo release ( `` I Found Out Now '' ) .   `` Oh Baby Do n't You Weep '' was the last new recording Brown made for King Records for over a year . An incident during the recording session in which producer Gene Redd criticized Brown 's piano playing as `` musically incorrect '' brought to a head his disagreements with label owner Syd Nathan and his staff . In response , Brown and Famous Flame Bobby Byrd formed a production company , Fair Deal Record Corporation , and accepted an offer from Mercury Records to release new recordings on their Smash subsidiary . With Brown gone , Nathan resorted to releasing rejected songs and outtakes from earlier recording sessions in the ensuing months . Eventually King 's lawyers took the dispute to court and obtained a ruling preventing Brown from issuing his vocal recordings on other labels . In mid-1965 Brown returned to King to release the hit `` Papa 's Got a Brand New Bag '' . He continued to record instrumentals and produce records for other performers on Smash through 1967 .   Despite its hit status , `` Oh Baby Do n't You Weep '' has rarely been heard on radio or reissued since its original 1964 release . It appears on the Roots of a Revolution compilation album and CD in its originally recorded version without the dubbed-in crowd noise , and on the 2007 Hip-O Select release James Brown : The Singles Vol . 2 . It inspired a cover version by Eddie Money .

This play , part of the SPEAK Theater Arts , LLC company 's repertoire , uses a combination of theater , stand-up comedy , hip hop , slam poetry , and real-life stories to take on racial slurs , stereotypes and the concept of race itself . The show debuted in the Spring of 2004 , written and performed by three former UCLA students : Agustin ( the `` W '' ) , Gregley ( the `` N '' ) , and Axibal ( the `` C '' ) . The show quickly became a success in Los Angeles and has been touring throughout the United States , being performed at colleges , theaters and performing art centers across the country . N * W * C exclusive booking representation is David Lieberman Artists ' Representatives ( dlartists.com ) .   The show opens with a catchy chant that bombards the audience with stereotypes and words that often make people uncomfortable to speak . Allan Axibal first comes on stage neatly dressed as the `` model minority '' and gets the chant started . He is followed by Rafael Agustin dressed as a cholo in his bandana , muscle shirt and pleated pants , who expands on the chant . Lastly , Miles Gregley struts out in full pimp attire , complete with a feathered hat . As they chant racial slurs , they are able to captivate and amuse their audience . However , the play is not just about jokes and laughs ; rather , it aims to strip these very racial slurs of their pejorative power . The three actors have insisted `` their point was not to exacerbate racial tensions or divisions , but to drive home that there is only ONE race , the human race . The show traces the origins and evolution of three derogatory terms that shaped our lives . In doing this show we hope to de-power these words for ourselves and for our audiences . ''

neg: Heavy metal lyrics Heavy metal lyrics are the words used in songs by heavy metal music bands , groups and artists . Given that there are many genres of heavy metal , it is difficult to make generalizations about the lyrics and lyrical themes . In 1989 , two metal scholars wrote that heavy metal lyrics concentrate `` on dark and depressing subject matter to an extent hitherto unprecedented '' in any form of popular music . Jeffrey Arnett states that metal songs are `` overwhelmingly dominated '' by `` ugly and unhappy '' themes which express `` no hope '' for the future . Deena Weinstein has proposed one way to analyze metal song themes is loosely grouping them into two categories : the Dionysian theme ( a reference to the Roman God of wine ) , which celebrates `` sex , drugs and rock and roll '' , partying , and enjoyment of life and the Chaotic theme , which involves dark subjects such as Hell , injustice , mayhem , carnage and death . Not all metal genres fall into Weinstein 's two theme model ; for example power metal 's lyrical themes often focus on fantasy and mythology , camaraderie and hope , personal struggles and emotions , among other themes . Another exception is pop metal bands , which replaced `` gloom and doom '' themes with `` positive , upbeat '' songs about romantic love and relationships , part of their goal of appealing more to female listeners . In metal overall , the small number of metal songs about relationships are typically about unions that have `` gone sour '' long ago .   The thematic content of heavy metal lyrics has long been a target of criticism . According to Jon Pareles , `` Heavy metal 's main subject matter is simple and virtually universal . With grunts , moans and subliterary lyrics , it celebrates ... a party without limits ... -LSB- T -RSB- he bulk of the music is stylized and formulaic . '' Music critics have often deemed metal lyrics juvenile and banal , and others have objected to what they see as advocacy of misogyny and the occult . During the 1980s , the Parents Music Resource Center ( PMRC ) petitioned the U.S. Congress to regulate the popular music industry due to what the group asserted were objectionable lyrics , particularly those in heavy metal songs . The PMRC used music professor Joe Stuessy to testify against metal . Professor Stuessy alleged that heavy metal songs focus on violence , substance abuse , perversion , S&M , and Satanism . Robert Walser analyzed 88 metal songs ' themes to determine if Professor Stuessy 's claims were valid . In Walser 's analysis , the dominant theme in the metal songs was `` longing for intensity '' ; he found that the negative themes described by Stuessy and the PMRC were uncommon . Jeffrey Arnett analysed the lyrics from 115 metal songs : he found that the top three messages were `` grim ... themes '' about violence , angst and protest .   Metal artists have had to defend their lyrics in front of the U.S. Senate and in courtrooms . In 1985 , Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider was asked to defend his song Under the Blade at a U.S. Senate hearing . In 1986 , Ozzy Osbourne was sued because of the lyrics of his song Suicide Solution . In 1990 , Judas Priest was sued in American court by the parents of two young men who had shot themselves five years earlier , allegedly after hearing the subliminal statement `` do it '' in a Priest song . While the case attracted a great deal of media attention , it was ultimately dismissed . In some predominantly Muslim countries , heavy metal has been officially denounced as a threat to traditional values . In countries such as Morocco , Egypt , Lebanon , and Malaysia , there have been incidents of heavy metal musicians and fans being arrested and incarcerated .

neg: Revolver (The Haunted album) Revolver ( stylized as rEVOLVEr ) is the fourth studio album by The Haunted . It was released on 18 October 2004 .   After having been absent for the last two studio albums , Peter Dolving was once again back in the band and provided the vocals for rEVOLVEr . He would remain with the band until he left once again in 2012 .   As the album title attempts to make clear with its stylization ( i.e. with the word `` EVOLVE '' printed in upper case letters between the two r 's ) , the band made a conscious decision to slightly tweak ( or `` evolve '' ) its songwriting on this particular album . As a result , rEVOLVEr contains some elements that were hitherto absent on previous The Haunted albums . Although the album still contains examples of the band 's familiar thrash metal sound ( e.g. No Compromise , Sabotage , Sweet Relief ) , it features considerably more mid-paced riffing ( e.g. 99 , Burnt to a Shell , Fire Alive ) than in any of their previous albums . Two of the tracks even have ballad elements interspersed in them ( Abysmal and My Shadow ) .  Also notable is that rEVOLVEr has quite a few instances of clean singing in it , although the vast majority of the vocal tracking was still done in The Haunted 's traditional hardcore/metalcore style of screaming .   A limited edition digipak of this CD contained two bonus tracks , and different artwork .   A music video was made for `` No Compromise '' which featured Mark Greenway .

Cake 's second album , 1996 's Fashion Nugget , went platinum on the strength of its lead single , `` The Distance '' . Following a tour of Europe and the United States , both Brown and Damiani announced they were leaving Cake , which led to speculation about the band 's future ; McCrea eventually recruited Xan McCurdy to take over on guitar , and persuaded Nelson to return .   Prolonging the Magic , the band 's third album , was released in 1998 and went platinum , having shipped over one million units ; this was followed three years later by Comfort Eagle , the band 's first album on Columbia Records , featuring the single `` Short Skirt/Long Jacket '' which hit number 7 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart .
