Was apartheid a bad thing?

Yes.

Apartheid to South Africa was exactly the same thing as Jim Crow in America.

It's bad, period.

So because you are a racist pig, everyone has to be? What about those who do want to live in a culturally diverse area. They made that illegal. They also had all kinds of laws punishing people for being black and doing normal things white people were allowed to do. Are you ok with that?

You are a bigot. You should be embarrassed and ashamed. You are also very ignorant. Most intelligent informed people embrace diversity. Ignorati don't.

No it was not. And its not about skin color but rather cultural differences. I truly believe many black Americans want segregation and their own government leaders such as Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, Van Jones and even Obama. Even their religious 'leaders' scream for their own nation such as Farrakhan, Sharpton, Jackson and the 'reverend' Wright. When I see all the riots in Ferguson and other cities that are predominantly black

I see them screaming for their own area to live in their own culturally unique environment. And honestly if that is how they want to live I say give it to them. Just don't make anyone else pay for it.

It was only made worse because the White man thought they were Christians and believed that it was Gods will

they Now Know they will Go to hell for what they Practiced

Bloody white arrogance at least nelson was more Intelligent he only wanted Reconciliation Not Revenge

So you think it was OK for blacks not to be allowed to own property, not to be allowed to be on the streets after a certain hour, not to be able to vote or run for office, etc. etc. etc.

Perhaps you don't understand because you don't know what apartheid was!

Yes, it was a terrible thing; apartheid was legalized slavery.

Facepalm

if you where a black person in south Africa then apartheid was terrible because it reduced them to little more than worthless slaves. without any protection or civil rights.

Yes

Apartheid wasn't about "not mixing" it was about a very small percentage of the population ruling the vast majority with violence, torture, and brutality.

Funny how your sort always wants to use violence to force others to "not mix."

Because people do not know what is best for them. The iron fist of government should rule over each and everyone of us. You do not allow children to play in the street do you?
