The document summarizes the rationale for apartheid in South Africa, as well as events related to decolonization in Vietnam and Latin America. Specifically, it states that the aim of apartheid was to maintain the white population as a pure race and develop separate communities for indigenous racial groups. It also notes France's occupation and defeat in Vietnam, as well as CIA involvement in overthrowing democratically elected governments in Guatemala, Chile, and supporting anti-communist regimes through Operation Condor in South America.

2.  “[Aparthied] aim is the maintenance and protection of the European
population of the country as a pure White race, the maintenance and
protection of the indigenous racial groups as separate communities,
with prospects of developing into a self-supporting communities
within their own areas, and the stimulation of national pride, self
respect, and mutual respect among the various races of the country.
 The party therefore undertakes to protect the White race properly and
effectively against any policy, doctrine or attack which might
undermine or threaten its continued existence…The party believes
that a definite policy of separation between the White race and the
non-White racial groups …is the only basis on which the character
and future of each race be protected and safeguarded and on which
each race can be guided so as to develop his own national character,
aptitude and calling.

 What is the rationale given by the national government given for
aparthied?
 What might would someone like Aime Cesaire respond to this
rational?

“One year ago today I proposed that the people of this hemisphere
join in an Alianza para el Progreso – a continent wide cooperative
effort to satisfy the basic needs of the American people for homes,
work and land, for health and schools, for political liberty and the
dignity of the spirit. Our mission, I said was to complete the
revolution of the Americas, to build a hemisphere where all men can
hope for a suitable standard of living and all can live out their lives in
dignity and freedom. – President Kennedy 1962
