#56: Apartness -- A Closer Look at Apartheid and Nelson Mandela


Listen Later

What do you do when two people you respect and trust disagree with each other on a topic? They both have  more experience and knowledge surrounding an issue, but have drawn two completely different conclusions. We are constantly finding ourselves in the middle of heated debates and we all face the pressure to pick a side. This is when we get the chance to become more informed, think critically through the issue and make an opinion independent of labels or teams.

In today's episode, Connor walks through how we went through this process forming an opinion of his own on South Africa's messy and ugly history with apartheid (which literally means "apartness" in the language of Afrikaans). He discusses the colonizing of the nation, how apartheid started, and the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela. If you feel you don't know very much of that topic- good! Bring you unbiased perspective to this issue, see if you can find the middle, and learn some fascinated history along the way.  Maybe one day you'll "bless the rains down in Africa" too!
