Apartheid. A policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race. There are a lot of places and a lot of things going on in this world that we don't know about either cause we don't care cause or our news doesn't cover it. You would think that these types of things would be covered on the news when that's all that's on there is negative stuff about people dying, President Trump, or LGBT. I guess that's what everybody is worried about now a days is if someone next to you is a little different than you, who cares. This picture made me feel some type of way. This picture was taken in 1976 in South Africa when student began to protest for certain things they wanted in their school systems. This really hit me because my dad was born in 1955 and he tells me about all the thing they had to go through back in the day and i understand that but you never really know what it was really like unless you lived back there. One day i hope we can all come together and i feel like it can happen. If you look at it, everybody back in them days that we're on either side, racist or non racist are going to be gone soon and i feel like the millennials are more accepting and if we're willing, we can make a change.
It's so strange to me to think this way of thinking, like the segregation of schools and such, is in our relatively recent past in the grand scheme of things--it wasn't that long ago. And of course, we still have a ways to go...
