Apartheid comes from the Afrikaans word meaning "apartness," derived from the Dutch word "apart" meaning "separate," combined with the suffix "-heid," which indicates a state or condition.
Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation in South Africa that lasted from 1948 until the early 1990s, enforcing strict separation between racial groups and denying basic rights to non-white citizens. It ended with the first democratic elections in 1994, following years of resistance and international pressure.
Segregation in the United States was legally enforced primarily from the late 19th century, starting with Black Codes and Jim Crow laws after the Civil War, until it was outlawed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Don’t worry, TPTB are still punishing white Americans for segregation and slavery, too. Who put those laws in place, and why, and who retracted them?
Answers unknown, may check later, but wondering if they were written and passed by the people who are demonizing WA, abused by the people who are demonizing WA, revoked by the people who are demonizing WA, and then if any of those are true, we obviously know who wrote the media campaigns…
