In the October 14, 1996 issue of People magazine, Charlize Theron praises apartheid and states "there is no more hope for white South Africans" now that apartheid is over. This was shortly after arrival in Los Angeles, sleeping around--she didn't have a job--, and managed to get an agent who was smitten by her temper tantrums and her beauty who got her a gig in "Two Days in the Valley".
Apartheid was a racist segregation system enacted in South Africa by the government that gave whites the most priviledges and rights and blacks the worst of everything. Blacks were routinely killed, tortured, brutalized, and raped under this barbaric system. The Truth and Reconciliation Committee could not account for every missing Black person who was killed by the apartheid police, nor the "war criminals" who fled abroad responsible for these disappearances and ethnic cleansing murders.
Now several prominent actors and actresses have had their careers ruined by words they said in their past, but most people don't know about Theron's racist comments. Charlize@CharlizeTheron.com http://www.CharlizeTheron.com
