colonization

Colonization started in Africa around the seventeenth century by the Dutch and English. They made many colonies and exploited Africa from its resources (diamonds, gold, and various kinds of metals.) Worse yet, in the 1960’s to gain control of Africa they created ``Grand Apartheid,'' which is a form of racial separation for white privilege. Even tough Africa is dominated by black population, the colonizers made it impossible for them to have freedom of any kind. Humans were placed into three groups: white, black and mixed decent. Black Africans could not have certain jobs, and couldn’t go to certain areas. Black Africans had been granted less doctors, teachers, and income. While the states were marching for peace against racial separation, Africa’s separation had just begun. Even though there were four million white South Africans, there were nineteen million black Africans who had less than fifteen percent of there own land. All though it was there land, they were the ones without power. Thankfully in the 1990’s (far too late) there was no more Grand Apartheid. In the book Things Fall Apart Okonkwo had no idea what was coming for him. White people were there but they did not do this much damage, but both in the book and the Grand Apartheid had no right doing so.
