Hard Cases: The white minority in South Africa has oppressed the black majority ever since white settlers first arrived at the Cape in 1652. But systematic racial discrimination dates from the turn of this century when South Africa became one political entity under the control of an exclusively white Parliament. Whatever the differences between the governments which followed, until 1990 they agreed that racial segregation had to be enforced in order to ensure the material, political, and social domination of white over black.
