Apartheid

Apartheid originated in South Africa in the early 20th century, formalized by the National Party government after it came to power in 1948. The policy was rooted in existing racial segregation laws and aimed to institutionalize racial discrimination against non-white populations, particularly Black South Africans. The term "apartheid," meaning "apartness" in Afrikaans, reflected the ideology of racial separation that permeated all aspects of life, from education to employment and residential areas. The system was met with widespread resistance and ultimately dismantled in the early 1990s through negotiations and activism led by figures like Nelson Mandela.

Cause whites are white they live different and have more money and food and more fancy stuff to build with and blacks are poor

In 1948 a system was introduced. It was Apartheid. It was made to keep difference between the races and give an advantage to the white people. The habitants were divided into different categories. Black, white and coloured. A person from a category couldn't marry another person from another category. The towns were distributed into areas, only members of racial groups could live there. Many people died and got wounded while Apartheid had the power. Many rules were made, that made it difficult for the black people to live there. Some of the rules were; Pass Laws made it illegal for the black people to travel around in some of the areas. Homelands were made for the black people. They weren't allowed to settle permanently in areas outside the homelands. Black male workers had to live in areas outside the big cities. The areas were called Township, the workers had to live there alone, without there family. To secure that the black people weren't in a area too long they had to have passes. And to secure the other things I just wrote. Hope it could help ! :P

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.

America never had apartheid. Apartheid occurred in south africa.

The Romans imposed limitations of the freedom of the Greeks, but these were later relaxed. Greek culture had a strong influence of Roman culture. Greeks became integrated with the economy of the empire and benefited from it. When the Roman Emperor Theodosius I made Christianity the state religion of the empire, he suppressed pagan religions, including the Greek one, and destroyed many temples.

In 1948 a uniform and very brutal system apartheid was extended to the whole of South Africa. Before that, various kinds of discrimination had been practised at local level.

South Africa

The pass-system of Apartheid South Africa was a system established by the Nationalist Government, where all Non-Whites had to carry a pass around with them in case they were stopped and checked by the South African Police. The fact that this applied exclusively to Non-Whites and was often used to harass them is a violation of equality before the law, which is a fundamental human right.

He turned to violent acts when the government banned the ANC, instead of giving up the fight against apartheid. Before he was imprisoned he said a speech in court. During his speech he mentioned that...

The Afrikaners were the people who had moved to Africa. they were the white people who had started the Apartheid.

The Blacks suffered because they had to pay more and had poorly done pictures.

Since the arrival of European settlers in South Africa, there had been a sense of white supremecy since the black people were naturally the slaves until the formation of the British colony which abolished slavery. However the Afrikaner population generally opposed the abolishment of slave trade. In 1948 an Afrikaner party named Reunited National Party won the general elections and took the seat of power. They formed a coalition govern ment with the Afrikaner Party and from then on were called the National Party (NP). The government then made racism and white supremecy official by passing various legislation that provided a higher standard of living for whites and a lower standard of living for blacks. Citizens were classed according to their race groups. In the 1950s, the Group Areas Act was passed which allowed for the designation of municipal grounds for specific race groups. Several laws were passed after that making the country racially segregated on a physical basis. Apartheid was abolished in 1990. Apartheid also had partly Dutch origins. That's the word, and due to separate development of the Catholics and Protestants there. It also had partial Nazi German origins. Some enforcers of it researched Nazi German life. Also wanted South Africa to be an ally of Nazi Germany.
An apartheid happened in South Africa because the White population has to greedy and wanted the Blacks who were the MAJORITY to remain with nopower at all so they put the black population out on reserves where it was dry so no produce could be grown and gave them pass's so that they could only come into urban areas if they had a pass (sort of like a passport).

People of all races were allowed to vote in South African elections.

South Africa held its first elections that included people of all color!!

Steve Biko acted against apartheid because he did not agree with the racial differences and wanted everyone to be equal.
