It’s mainly because I edit the blogs section of the OAC and don’t want to feature my own stuff if there is a good supply from others. And my presence in the relevant Groups is already very strong and participation low. But thanks for the endorsement, John. I will post this stuff some rainy day.

Comment on The Globalization of Apartheid by keith

Daniel, thanks very much for this contribution. The history of racism in the US and South Africa has some common causes, even if the two societies are in many respects very different. In South Africa segregation was the policy long before apartheid was officially launched. My use of the term here was intended to draw attention to the generality of segregation while pointing out that South Africa was an extreme case, but not unique. The same could be said of the USA before the 60s. We need language that helps us to link up different cases while insisting on their distinctiveness.

Please note Apartheid and segregation is the same thing. Segregation as was challenged by Rosa Parks was enforced in USA same as in South Africa. South Africa had homelands same as Indian Reservations – the Sharpvile massacre (a tragic piece of history) compares but is dwarfed by the millions of Native Americans killed (also a tragedy). However it’s easier to blame and ridicule from the outside. More white farmers (boers) has been brutally tortured and killed in their homes by aggressive attackers than American Soldiers killed in the Iraq war, both equally tragic..
