When I was in high school a group of foreign exchange students spoke at an assembly one day. One of them was a South African exchange student who was studying at a different high school. She was asked about Apartheid. Her answer was kind of a standard "if you're not from there you wouldn't understand." Maybe we North Americans, in the midst of our own moral trials, understood better than she imagined.
Hmm, perhaps. Like, there are differences in how North America has expressed its white supremacy compared to South Africa, but that the underlying problem is still white supremacy and how we haven't been able to root it out. (And how there are plenty of people who, even now, don't actually want to.)
