"I think there is a little bit of a misconception about when Apartheid started. It started in 1652 when the first Europeans came to Africa. They brought with them the paradigm in terms of superiority and inferiority. They always thought they were superior to the people who are indigenous to Africa. It was a paradigm of more than 300 years." - Roelf Meyer (History Channel)
