To be very brief:
Dr.Verwoerd was ,indeed, an pretty bad fellow,and
his Nationalist Party did have much to dislike.
The great Smuts ,who they defeated ,was definitely more to my inclination.
Still, call a Spade a Spade.
The balance of Afrikaaners did treat the blacks with a Respect,though some dehumanized them.That was ignored by those who wished to destroy their Velt.
Like the French in Quebec,the Afrikaaners felt themselves surrounded.
The French practice linguistic Apartheid rather than racial.
Does anyone complain?
But ,Because their basis is Secularist liberal,it’s Okay.
However, since the afrikaaners’ was of conservative religious,it would have to be branded with the ‘mark of Cain’.
Many jews as is their bent,populated the Marxist (Joe Slovo)and leftish Progressive(H.Suzman) Movements,which exacerbated the relations
Also, remember,they were the bulwark against the spread of communism and other evils for the whole of southern africa.
The Sharpsville and other incidents,alluded to,were tragic,cruel and unacceptable
but needs to be put in context.
