Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela passed away  a few days ago. He was (is) a brave fighter in support of human rights (beings history.)

I can remember/well remember (remembered that) the first time I learnt of (knew) him from my high school English lessons (textbook.) He was, undoubtedly, (is) a great person and people all around the world will remember him for what he did for anti-apartheid and for his noble personality and charm. Hongkong band Beyond wrote (used to write) a Cantonese song (光辉岁月) for Mandela. I love that song very much.

Nowadays, racial discrimination still exists in some areas, even in some developed countries. I hope that education can change these attitudes. (this unfair situation.) People should (can) not judge others by the colour of their skin. (personalities by others skin color.) I really abhor/loathe (don't appreciate that kind of) people who think they are better than others (then other) just because of their race (races) or education.

Agree with all you have written, Kim. Just a couple of issues with tenses ('was' is used as past tense of verb 'to be'). but otherwise fine - suggested a few more natural phrases.
