Abhorrence of apartheid is a moral attitude, not a policy.

Summary

This quote suggests that abhorrence of apartheid, a system of racial segregation and discrimination, is not simply a political or strategic approach, but rather a moral viewpoint. It implies that understanding and opposing apartheid should not be driven solely by practical considerations or circumstances, but by a deep-seated belief in equality and human rights. The quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing apartheid as an inherently unjust and morally reprehensible institution, reflecting the need to respond to it on an ethical level rather than purely as a matter of policy.
