But Africa's government was the worst example of racialism and violation of the human rights. However, Nelson Mandela still stood up for what he thought was right and, led his people to freedom. He rose above his personal interests and always kept the interest of his nation above all. He was offered attractive gifts as a price of his loyalty and sincerity but he never accepted those offers. He accepted a prolonged imprisonment over the freedom that was over shadowed with a piece of slavery.
Those who felt the conflict was detrimental to their freedom united and supported Mandela. This created the first main group of mixed race within South Africa for decades. This unity between the two races exponentially increased until Apartheid was lifted in 1994. A “Rainbow Nation” was rapidly created through the experience of conflict. When a society is immersed in an ongoing conflict of difference, the uniting force is the shared effect that comes as a result.

“Mississippi Masala” review Racism has been a hindering problem in virtually every society ever since there has been variation in the human genome.
