[[ Otherwise, we come across as supporting Apartheid. ]]
We _should have_ supported Apartheid.
It was all that kept the white Afrikaners from being at the mercy of the blacks of South Africa. And it's important to realize that the many if not most of the South African black population entered the country (over time) from the north. They came in search of work in the growing capitalistic nation that the Afrikaners had built. Essentially, the Europeans were there before many of the blacks.
Since Apartheid was ended, the new "majority" is using its power to drive white farmers from the land (often killing them), take over businesses, and establish a system that now is "de jure" discrimination against whites. The blacks of South Africa today are worse off than most of them were under Apartheid.
So one system of discrimination has been replaced by another.
But the media will never tell you this. Read the first chapter or two of Ilana Mercer's "Into The Cannibal's Pot: Lessons For America From Post-Apartheid South Africa" and you will find out exactly what is going on there. BTW, Ms. Mercer was a former liberal opponent of Apartheid, now living in America. She has learned something since her earlier days.

Reality is too hard to deal with for many in this country. OK especially libs only see things from one perspective, their own, but it seems to be creeping into the 'so called' conservative ranks. Mostly I think because no one wants to be racially divisive so what is denounced on one side, is defended on the other. Problem is, you can't have it both ways, or you shouldn't have, although that's what it seems.
In short, when was the last time you saw a "non-white" charged with a hate crime?
