The apartheid state collapsed because: the South African people resisted and Cuba assisted them. And the west could no longer maintain that outpost. Mandela was a just leader of change.
While Mandela was president of South Africa....he was STILL on the US terrorist list. But there was not a single one of the criminal Boer government on that terrorist list, despite them having overseen: apartheid, colonial rule, and brutal mass murders of the local people. Not ONE of them on the US terrorist list. But President Nelson Mandela was:
But then why didn't "native" South Africans just get the treatment Palestinians are right nowc with full support of the "white supremacist" countries? Instead, the "white supremacist" countries sanctioned them.
The white supremacist countries came in very late and out of embrassment. The white supremacist are also the countries who colonized Africa in the first place. Which is how the South Africans ended up with Dutch colonizers calling themselves "Afrikaners" - what an orwellian name.
The colonialism and white supremacy continue even now. I suggest you want this video in which in the UK parliament someone stood up and demanded that the government must NOT relinquish its colonial rule over the people of Diego Garcia......because it is so useful in actions like bombing Yemenis.
The resistance to apartheid and sanctions was driven by ordinary individuals, not the state. It's why they jumped straight to making it illegal for local authorities to boycott repression. At the end of the day, skin colour is skin deep and anyone that takes it to mean anything serious is a fuckwit imo. The skin colour thing is just part of the divide and rule tactic, which is why they had signs in the sixties saying "No blacks, dogs or Irish". The Irish are some of the palest people on the planet. Before that it was "Wogs start at Calais". What colour were the kids forced up chimneys in the 1800s? Under the soot, that is. White. It's not about whiteness so much as power and money.

That's what white supremacy looks like.
