"At the University of Natal in Durban, I was told the church to which most
of the white population belongs teaches apartheid as a moral necessity. A
questioner declared that few churches allow black Africans to pray with the
white because the Bible says that is the way it should be, because God
created Negroes to serve. 'But suppose God is black', I replied. 'What if we
go to Heaven and we, all our lives, have treated the Negro as an inferior,
and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our
response?' There was no answer. Only silence."
Robert Kennedy, during anti-Apartheid tour in South Africa, June 1966
