It is a political/social/economic system of society that specifically and intentionally creates different rules for "acceptable behavior" and liberty for different types of people - usually based on racial distinctions.

The name and most recent practice were coined in South Africa, but it could be applied to other cultures as well, including much of the post- War Between the States time in the United States.
