Apartheid

Apartheid was a racist policy of the Republic of South Africa in which white people and black people were heid apart, rendering them unable to combine to make South Africa a chocolate country like crazy Ray Nagin would have wanted.

Some people who believed that Africa existed were really upset about apartheid and got mad at the South African government for instituting it and enforcing it so violently, but most people took no notice and continued on with their daily lives as if Africa and apartheid were not real at all (and let's face it: they probably aren't and never were, or maybe they got eaten by the dinosaurs).
