It wasn't short, ask Mandela and if you could ask someone like Biko, he would tell you it wasn't sweet.

that was wrong was to NOT give other cultures/races the oppertunity to to

have education. But was it a "threat" for the other cultures to live here, ie

were they "forced" to live here or did they come out of their own will? Were

they beeing killed like nowadays?

Rubbish.... I'm not going to even begin explaining what the intentions of apartheid were......not to mention how apartheid overwhelmingly and exceedingly met and exceeded those intentions. You, I and many people of world know that very well :mad:

I'm sorry... but I don’t' buy you experience with black people that share your view on apartheid.... You’re going to have to come with something a lot more tangible than this....:rolleyes:
 
In 1961, Mandela became the leader of the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (translated as Spear of the Nation, also abbreviated as MK), which he co-founded. He coordinated a sabotage campaign against military and government targets, and made plans for a possible guerrilla war if sabotage failed to end apartheid. A few decades later, MK did wage a guerrilla war against the regime, especially during the 1980s, in which many civilians were killed. Mandela also raised funds for MK abroad, and arranged for paramilitary training, visiting various African governments.

In 1973, an International Convention of the United Nations General Assembly ruled that the system of apartheid amounted to a crime against humanity, and defined the crime of apartheid as "inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them."

Turned out great... :rolleyes: espcially for a system... uhm... you & your "regular Joe's in the streets" claim it was designed for keeping one group on "their" side of the fence... ...:(

Majority of people weren't allowed to walk in the streets. That's why they were NOT in jail. Who are this "majority" you referring to? What's average about them?

I grew up on a coal mine...We had 100's of blacks and NEVER was there any conflict. On Sundays we ( Blacks and Whites ) even watched movies together that the mine arranged for the blacks. Movies finished at about 11 at night, we "walked" home...nothing happened
 
I have not read this thread fully, for which I apologise, but I am finding way too much negativity on threads with titles such as this one and I prefer to surround myself with people who think positively.

...but I thought instead of subjective emotional ranting that is probably contained in here I would post a link to the OECDs outlook for South Africa in the 2007 African Economic Outlook report.

For those negative ones amongst us you may not like what it says!

Look, let me put it this way. Who knows what going on the best in your neighbour's house...You, or your neighbour?

What im trying to say is the majority of time i spend was with white

people...the majority of time blacks spend time with black people...My

argument is this, how the hell can blacks REALY know what happens in

white places, and white's know what happens in black's places?
