Nice try. Apartheid was wrong. But you miss the point: Regardless of past injustices, real (as in South Africa, for example) or imagined (as in Fascist Germany, for example) when an influential segment of society wants to marginalize and subjugate, or even eliminate, another segment, it usually begins with what is happening now in contemporary America. Apartheid in South Africa was doomed to fail because of the imbalance of the demographics, and it collapsed from within. In Fascist Germany, however, demographics favored the oppressors, and it only failed because Germany eventually lost WWII. From 1939 to 1942 Germany was pretty much unstoppable, and its conquered nations accepted if not outright embraced the evils of Nazism. Germany lost WWII because it foolishly attacked the Soviet Union in June, 1941, and declared war on the US in December of the same year. Even at that, Germany ran roughshod over the USSR for a year before it crossed its own Rubicon, with fatal consequences. The world owes the USSR a big favor in repelling Barbarossa.

As for your comment about whites in SA not getting “genocided,” perhaps you may want to read up on what has happened to white farmers there. And that atrocity is not random; it is openly championed and encouraged by SA political leadership. Tell you what: Move to South Africa — with your family — and get a farm (if you even can, because the government will probably not allow you to), and let us all know how you made out. And don’t get me started on Rhodesia, because the white farmers there...oh, wait, there are none any more.

Originally the idea of Apartheid was that since the African and European societies were completely different it would be best to allow both to co-exist side by side without one interfering with the other.

Okay, on paper, maybe that made some sense. But the problem is that the black population was exploited and brought into the “European” world, for cheap labor, then forced to live in their sub-standard conditions. And that’s why Apartheid ultimately was an evil system.

No you’re missing the point. Look at Roman history and the slave uprisings. There will be payback.
