    I think that’s kind of my point. Going through the correct systems didn’t end apartheid. Fighting back did.

      To be fair, a shocking number of people don’t actually know that he and the ANC did eventually adopt guerrila warfare/terrorism for a time to achieve their ends. I blame the kid-gloves treatment that most discussion of apartheid gets, usually to kids, and the fact that it usually never gets mentioned again to adults.
