US more like apartheid South Africa than 1940s Germany?

RE: US more like apartheid South Africa than 1940s Germany?
Honestly, I don't know as much as I'd like about the fucked-up-ness of the Apartheid regime, but it could very well end up being a more apt comparison than the Third Reich comparisons. I suppose that people in America are more familiar with the Third Reich than Apartheid.

Recently, I discovered this play on YouTube:






As the title suggests, it's a mash-up of Albert Jarry's Ubu Roi with several excerpts from the real-life Truth and Reconciliation Commission. And one can only wonder what a post-Trump equivalent to the Truth and Reconciliation committee will look like.

The entire playscript is on Google Books, since the bots were unusually generous that day.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
