The South African Apartheid reminds me of America before the Civil Rights Movement because of the segregation. There were many things that Colored people were unable to do in America that the South Africans were also unable to do. There were certain spots and businesses designated for a certain race only and if the colored people were to violate those designations they would be punished. The laws that were in place in South America were just in-human, as were the laws that were in place in America.
I think that segregation occurs naturally, but if the people doing it would have thought about what it causes and prevents they wouldn't do it. To be a good person and not segregate or abuse you must have a conscience, but some people obviously think they are too good for that. The South African Apartheid relates to America in the segregated state because the same type of people caused both of these events and unjust things to happen. Some people who thought they were better than everyone else decided to take action and show how they felt. Not only do I think that it is wrong for anyone to consider themselves better than another person, but I know that it is wrong to treat people the way that these people were treated during these times.
No one should be neglected, mistreated or abused. In every way possible, every person that was not Caucasian was treated horribly. This should have never happened and every part of me hopes that it never will again. Yes, people did these things in the past, but people have to stop living the past and the future and start living the present. Segregation will never be over because a lot of people still live in the past, and we have to get over that and become a global generation. We have to cooperate with every person on Earth.
