Nelson Mandela was the only man to try and take a stand against the apartheid, he knew what was going on was wrong and he wanted a change. He made the change he wanted to see in the world happen and soon after he became widely known, and he’s still known to this day.]]> 2024-03-14 14:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/260518_6/oj7jpfc46hzpime2/wish/2919088229 The apartheid (a-par-tide) was a law in South Africa created by Hendrik Verwoerd, to separate the “whites” from the “blacks”. In simple terms it was segregation that’s made the Africans move from their homes to a small segregated portion of South Africa. People of the lighter skin tone were able to live in homes that were not theirs and stay there. 260518_6 https://padlet.com/260518_6/oj7jpfc46hzpime2/wish/2919089172 2024-03-14 14:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/260518_6/oj7jpfc46hzpime2/wish/2919089172 260518_6 https://padlet.com/260518_6/oj7jpfc46hzpime2/wish/2919089230 Generally people in South Africa are kind, caring, loving, and respectful to everyone no matter the race, gender, sexuality. They see you as an individual who can do lots of good. They look at everything with a positive mindset and have lots of compassion.]]> 2024-03-14 14:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/260518_6/oj7jpfc46hzpime2/wish/2919089230 260518_6 https://padlet.com/260518_6/oj7jpfc46hzpime2/wish/2920601662 Martin Luther King believed South Africa was home to “the world’s worst racism” and drew parallels between struggles against apartheid in South Africa and struggles against “local and state governments committed to ‘white supremacy’” in the southern United States (Papers 5:401). In a statement delivered at the 1962 American Negro Leadership Conference King declared: “Colonialism and segregation are nearly synonymous … because their common end is economic exploitation, political domination, and the debasing of human personality” (Press release, 28 November 1962).

Apartheid (meaning “apartness” in Afrikaans) was the legal system for racial separation in South Africa from 1948 until 1994. The Popular Registration Act of 1950 classified all South Africans into three categories: bantu (blacks), coloureds (those of mixed race), and white. Later, a fourth category, “Asians,” was added. Throughout the 1950s regulations created separate residency areas, job categories, public facilities, transportation, education, and health systems, with social contact between the races strictly prohibited.

Africa had the most discrimination out of anywhere in the world, and in this graph it shows a paystub as an example whites were in the 80th percentile while “blacks”, “Asians”, and “mixed” were in the 60th percentile and lower.]]> 2024-03-21 14:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/260518_6/oj7jpfc46hzpime2/wish/2928653169 260518_6 https://padlet.com/260518_6/oj7jpfc46hzpime2/wish/2928657067 My thoughts on this topic were “questionable” such as, what’d did every other race do that made them lower and some sort of non- human, why were they treated like trash and not individuals, and why were the whites so superior? But researching this topic was very interesting and I’d do it again.]]> 2024-03-21 14:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/260518_6/oj7jpfc46hzpime2/wish/2928657067
