American Apartheid

American Apartheid: [Though vastly different from the real Apartheid once practiced in South Africa, we vigorously argued the publication of this definition with our senior editor. But, our editor was alive and very much aware of the practice in his younger days. He argued that this kind of (negative) awareness is a very powerful tool for fighting racism and its proponents. Witness the election of Nelson Mandela to the Presidency of South Africa]. The very visible yet -surrounded by an 'invisible barrier' - of active racial discrimination by an emerging (?) police state in the USA. The American equivalent of Apartheid. See the case of Henry Louis Gates, Ph. D. - who was arrested and prevented from entering his own house the other day.
