Global apartheid

Global apartheid is a way of describing a world in which the 'haves' and 'have nots' are divided along racial or ethnic lines. In this system, people are separated by money, power, and opportunities based on their skin color. To put it simply, it's like having two different neighborhoods: one for the rich people, and one for the poor people. But in global apartheid, people are divided by race or ethnicity, instead of just by money. This means that people from different racial and ethnic backgrounds might not have the same access to education, housing, employment, or even basic human rights.
