Response to Apartheid in South Africa

Responses to Aparthied in South Africa
My Group researched apartheid in South Africa from the 1960’s to the 1980’s. This was a easy assignment I felt because it was done on the computer and sent to a blog and we didn’t have to hand write anything and hand it in or anything. I also learned a lot about how African Americans were treated during apartheid in the 1960’s and 1980’s. Another thing I learned about apartheid in South Africa was the amount of land taking over by whites and how whites (Afrikaners) toke advantage of blacks.
First, I liked how this was done on the computer and we had time to do it in class in the computer lab. We also could do it at home and turn it in right away after we are done so we don’t have to turn it in later when its due we can turn it in and get it out of the way. Another reason why it is good that we did it on computer is we could share information and links through e-mail. I really liked the idea of having the assignment on the blog or computer.
One thing new that I learned about apartheid in South Africa during the 1960s and 1980s is the way whites (Afrikaners) treated blacks in South Africa with land and human rights were horrible in my opinion. Afrikaners like to take control of all South African land and use it for farming, retrieving diamonds and gold. Then when Africans would ask for land back or say something the Afrikaners would give them land back but it would be a pieces of Bantustans. This meant a piece of bad land, hardly farmable or useable.
Another thing I learned was the amount of land and things these Afrikaners would take away from blacks in South Africa. These Afrikaners would take almost 75% of the useable land for farming, retrieving diamonds and gold and the other 25% was given back to the Africa or just still being used and it would be useless or not enough land for there needs and there population of people. In conclusion, I liked doing this blog because it was a short assignment but I learned a lot for researching on my own with a 3 partners and doing the assignment over the computer and through e-mail.
