How were the Black people affected by racism in South Africa?​

Racism in South Africa comprises negative attitudes and ideas on race or ethnicity which have been reflected in discriminatory laws, practices and actions against racial or ethnic groups throughout the history of South Africa. Before universal suffrage was achieved in 1994, white South Africans, especially Afrikaners during the period of Apartheid, enjoyed various legally or socially sanctioned privileges and rights which were denied to others. Examples of racism over the course of South Africa's history include forced removals, racial segregation, uneven resource distribution, and disenfranchisement. Racial politics remain a major phenomenon.
