supposedly seperate but equal, but we all know no such thing ever existed in reality Apartheid is an Afrikaans word meaning 'seperation' and was a racial social policy introduced in South Africa by the right-wing Nationalist government in 1948 ( though 1st use of the term dates from1917). It's purpose was to segregate and disenfranchise 'blacks and coloureds' and rob them of their human rights.
