So the Black majority was segregated by the White minority.
Wow. This world is just crazy
Fact number one: it created a advanced civilized country which no longer exists
“Free South Africa you dumb son of a bitch!” lol. Thanks Danny.
Don’t like how some black people make us white people feel bad for things we never did… That alone is racist… I did nothing wrong, people from the past were the morons, and not all… Some made you free…
27 yrs after Apartheid isn’t that long
Well South Africa was run better back then
I thought it was about Israeli apartheid.
Atm in South Africa the only truly racist people in South Africa are the Old, the people who were there and are still alive.
And why the fuck would someone touch this topic or even go near it.
Before Apartheid: Blacks were seen as barbaric and basically not as humans/ equal to white men, this was due to the MASSIVE gap in development culturally and intellectually, most southern Africans at the time had no concept of reality like the Europeans.
Apartheid was formed because this gap continued and never improved because slavery and segregation kept the blacks form developing but to “catch up” would be hard as it is.
The white men who had taken over government (mostly Afrikaans) developed the concept of the Swart Gevaar (Black Danger)… they saw black people as a HUGE threat… a threat to all they felt they built or developed within South Africa (which was pretty much the entire infrastructure and economy and yes this was done with a lot of black labour but the whites created it)…
They said that the black people out number them and could create chaos in South Africa if they were given power because they lack the knowledge and capacity to make the country successful and for it to flourish… they feared that they would destroy South Africa and make it a crime ridden mess where whites would be in danger and would fear for their lives everyday. Infrastructure would be destroyed along with the economy, education… everything they “built”…
I completely disagree with segregation and I’m glad it is gone. The gap would need to be closed sooner or later….
Here’s the sad part: everything they feared in the Swart Gevaar has pretty much come true.
I am studying apartheid right now like this
