Apartheid was a system of legal racial segregation enforced by the National Party government in South Africa between 1948 and 1994, under which the rights of the majority black inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and minority rule by whites was maintained.

Racial segregation in South Africa began in colonial times, but apartheid as an official policy was introduced following the general election of 1948. New legislation classified inhabitants into racial groups ("black", "white", "coloured", and "Indian"), and residential areas were segregated by means of forced removals. From 1958, Blacks were deprived of their citizenship, legally becoming citizens of one of ten tribally based self-governing homelands called bantustans, four of which became nominally independent states. The government segregated education, medical care, and other public services, and provided black people with services inferior to those of whites.

Apartheid sparked significant internal resistance and violence as well as a long trade embargo against South Africa. A series of popular uprisings and protests were met with the banning of opposition and imprisoning of anti-apartheid leaders. As unrest spread and became more violent, state organizations responded with increasing repression and state-sponsored violence.

Reforms to apartheid in the 1980s failed to quell the mounting opposition, and in 1990 President Frederik Willem de Klerk began negotiations to end apartheid, culminating in multi-racial democratic elections in 1994, which were won by the African National Congress under Nelson Mandela. The vestiges of apartheid still shape South African politics and society.

@shafantira But can you live a good life without exploiting our natural recorses? Even so can you get enought necessary, and even services from not exploting the earth? We al know we can't, and the fact is that people can't have an open mind, open heart and accept others when they can't get the basics needed to live. Because people who don't have enough wil steal from others, in search for sustenance or even own enjoyment. If you do not have enough you cannot think, you wil just try to survive.

@TheBelowAverageG4mer. I'm a liberal and I own a gun also. You're not the only person who owns a gun and can shoot. And as many followers you can amass my side can amass just as many.

@taregass Come get you some bitch! I carry 17 rounds of freedom on my hip everyday, all day. So I say again, come get you some, BITCH! White countries are on decline because they let in garbage people. If we had higher standards as to who we let in, and maybe secured our borders we would be right as rain. Yeah BRIC nations are the future, I mean see how good they did in SA and Rhodesia. They went from 90% of farms producing goods, to less then 10% in a few decades. You fucking idiot.

@cowboymarc79 You are correct. The true problem is that our species in it's entirety has allowed greed and hatred to rule. Peoples thousands of years ago nurtured their inner-soul, so to speak, and therefore, love, not hatred (in terms of how our species takes care of one another), was "the norm". When the sense of family values is deteriorated, and the breaking up of families is "OK", countries fail. Love, moral values and families MUSY become the most important thing or we will all perish.

I see (from comments) racism is still ripe & injustice is justified through fleeting commodities brought by the "white race".

I would replace materialism, polution and imperalist values in an instant for open mind, open heart, acceptance of cultural difference and a clean environment that can be enjoyed by future generations.

@justinjonn

First of all, what have YOU created as an individual? My guess is nothing. You haven't built a great business, you haven't invented anything of use, you haven't contributed to the knowledge of mankind. When it comes down to it, YOU are no more indespensible then some random "nigger". But if you want to talk about "written language" it comes from North Africa. Several things such as irrigation, calculators, gun powder, cameras, algebra, CIVILIZATION, were invented by non whites.

@cowboymarc79

Maybe so, but no one on the same scale as "you people". Its like saying all murderers are created equally; you have one time offenders, serial killers, commiters of genocide. They are all in different categories of heinousness. The fact is, You all shipped 60 million slaves from Africa, 2/3 of whom died. You all killed 90 percent of the Indians. You all killed 6 million Jews (about 1/3). I don't have enough characters to list it all, but you get the point. Most evil race period
