Episode 125:Racist Dogwhistles and the Origins of Apartheid in South Africa

About this episode

Pastor Andrew discusses the origins of apartheid in South Africa and the role of religion in both its establishment and collapse, in light of recent political developments.

Trump's offer of refugee status to "persecuted" Afrikaans prompts Pastor Andrew, as a way to shed light on the racist dogwhistle that policy move is, to lay out the origins of apartheid in South Africa, religions' role in those origins, and also its role in apartheid's collapse.
