- Marry outside of their own race

Subjunctive Question
What would south Africa look like today if the native blacks violently took control of the Government?
Summary
Like in many countries the white faction ruled over the natives, in South Africa this was in the form of the Apartheid which spilt the population so that the whites were on top of the chain of command and the blacks on the bottom being controlled. The Black population was controlled and suppressed with the Apartheid in place and it was a seemingly meek future.
