You should think a bit more about that "ladder" concept. In the same way that advocating for manumission doesn't fix any of the issues with slavery a "path to the rights of the group above" doesn't fix any of the issues with an apartheid state.

Unless you're fine with a little genocide, any apartheid state is not a solution.

I'm saying that the apartheid state needs dismantled.

It's just a mental exercise to get people to expand their imagination. I don't expect the end of apartheid to literally require each group to pass through a series of stages.
