Somewhat related, I used to work with a white couple that emigrated to Canada from South Africa. They were taught through propaganda that even if you didn't believe in Apartheid morally, you had to support it for self-preservation. They said they were supposed to believe that if Apartheid fell, they would be murdered in their beds by angry black people. Not everyone believed that of course, but that was the angle that the government used.

You need to read his book:
Born A Crime. Equal parts fascinating and eye-opening. Some truly crazy stories from his youth, but he's so funny and engaging with his story telling. You can get a sense of him being an authentically great human being from his stories, especially when he talks about his mother. Great read. I think it's a must for anyone reading this thread.
