From what I recall being taught at school: They used The Bible and pseudoscience (ideas that there was a difference between the way peoples brains worked) to justify apartheid.

They also believed in a "class system". It is interesting to note that the "Apartheid" that existed here in South Africa also existed in the United States although it was never truly given a name like the South African government at the time did. The oppression of "non-whites" in the USA also continued for a lot longer than Apartheid did here in South Africa.

Not all "white people" did justify Apartheid, there are so many white people who helped fight the regime but many of them are forgotten because they were white. Every country commits crimes that the majority of the population turns a blind eye to because they believe that they alone cannot make a difference.
