I agree with the Ghanaian's point. Inspite of social inequalities, systems should be meritocratic. Inequalities should be tackled by improving access to education, health etc. Giving someone who is less qualified a job is not the answer...

There are 10 ethnic groups of African people in South Africa Zulu Xhosa Tsonga Venda Ndebele Tswana Swati Sotho Pedi Kwe 80+ percent of the country population But not even one of them is there with you

People mistake being mixed raced for coloured. I am a black women, with a white partner..our child isn’t “culturally” coloured in the south african sense. Trevor is half black with Xhosa culture and half white

The brother from Ghana still has much to learn and truly grasp the profound impact of systemic injustices and how their legacy continues to shape and affect future generations.

The question discussed is wrong. What's south-african? It's exactly what they did to it since the 1500. Blacks occupy political offices for administrative purposes. A few of them manage to use state money to live nice. The system put in place by colonizers since the 1500s is still in place. But, fortunately, the system of our royalty is going to be forced to take over. Knowledge is coming out. Fast, unfortunately! So, which south-african is the question about, since that south-african exists in a colonisation-apartheid-violance made system that continues to date. Just saying! Lovely show

I hope the woman in denim is an activist.I love that she has no fear & speaks the truth of what is happening in SA

The white woman doesn’t sympathize with what her ancestors done & wants us to forget the past.This is not only the thinking of old white people

When were the races demolished?We still forced to tick boxes

The Zimbabwean lady is not Coloured she is black of mixed ancestry and that is why she couldnt understand the question asked and she couldnt articulate it. Being Coloured is not about ticking boxes. Its an ethnicity which comes with culture. It only exists in South Africa and Namibia. Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Swaziland dont have Coloureds they just have mixed people who are tswana, Sotho, Swati or Zim. There's a difference. The lady in the Cargo is Coloured and that is why she could easily articulate her explanation.

If we asked the average Ghanaian in Ghana, what this guy is talking about when he says equal footing I'm sure they'd laugh and tell you about the inequalities that exist in their country. Because he sounds like a very privileged child with blinds on to the world around him.🤞🏿

Heal from what... those affected are already resting in peace

We can't move forward unless e call out the racehustlers

Reverse racism it's called

Her: Jewish ppl. Get over it. Her: Americans. "Always forget." Her: Whites. Stop bringing this up. You are guilt-tripping me.

The denim lady is so smart❤

Coloured is mixed raced person finish and klaar! That's how apartheid defined it. And Mandela wasn't a lawyer he did not graduate. That Zimbabwe girl is confusing herself, there is no coloureds in Zim she must not compare the two countries. Eating koeksesters and pickle fish and drinking black label doesn't make it a culture, I'm black and also eat those things, otherwise good convo

its here ancestors not her

Bernice explained "Coloured" eloquently. 👌🏾💯

Beautiful content. I love the diversity of viewpoints and voices. Eye opening!

Dude from Ghana needs to be educated on correcting the Imbalances of what the systems off the past created that still benefit the few privileged leaving behind the new incoming born free in today's SA new democratic system. The coloured girl isn't really saying nothing here, u needed a black educated SA responding to the Guy from Ghana on finding balance in a work place than still having one dominate group still in majority and in control of a certain work place environment. To correct this u need to balance the Equation in getting as much black folks and other non whites educated in that work environment to have a fair representation off the multicultural SA society than having still one dominate race group that has been given first priorities in the past yet we are all free today. It's still not balance for that matter due to systematically passed on Racist systems and to correct this the gov and SA introduced what u call BEE programs bringing in the left behind to the peace off the pie than having one race dominate everything because that's how it looked it even when we all are free today.

The guy from Ghana is ignorant of South African history, Ghana got independence from the British in the 60s, how far have you developed ? and you never had apartheid after colonialism as we did ,go back and study South African history before you comment.

You should have added a Black South African

bro from ghana strikes me as a person who knows little/nothing about south african history and why programs like BEE must exist in that society. other countries with similar histories of disenfranchisement of sections of its population based on one's heritage or race can relate. Am from kenya and indeed this conversation about bringing up marginalised or historically disempowered groups is advancing steadily.indeed at independence we had an africanisation program but has since died, but it was a very relevant discussion at the time.

Just because an oppressive system stops, doesn't mean it ceases to affect peoples realities. It doesn't mean wealth disparities and social privelages become automatically balanced. I think the man on the left lacks that understanding, perhaps because he is not from a settler colonial state. But DEI and BBEEE are methods to rebalance society so that we can get to a place where everyone can actually have access to relatively equal opportunities

Bro lives under a rock . I am a Black American and millions like myself knows a lot about Africa.. this dude makes black folks in America looks ingnorant in front of our south African sisters..

Rre Trevor Noah depicts the majority Ubuntu/Botho philosophy of our people in that he is a polyglot of our languages. That is the difference between growing up in blackcentric society such as Johannesburg in comparison to the highly polarised western-philosophy based Cape Town. Cape town has been cleared of its indigenous languages of the Khoi-Khoi. They were enslaved and thus had to invent Afrikaans(which the dutch subsequently stole in the 20th century) Hence the Xamissa ancient philosophy died there. Alot of us in the north speak many languages + Afrikaans and English. We learn each others languages. There was even a language to bridge whites jnabilty to speak to their workers in the mines called FANAGALO. It would be wise to view this from a necropolitics perspective. thanks for the discussion.

Americans are stumped. Just shows how ignorant they are. Look up the history of colonization dudes. Coloured people have the right to embrace all their heritage. That's also why we're so beautiful

Chris, if you haven't already, make leek and potato soup (seeing that it's winter over there). The consistency HAS to be right... I test it by biting it on my teeth.

If you're not from the coloured community, you don't truly know us. You might think you do, but in reality, you do not. I've been expressing this sentiment for years, for yearrrrrrrrrs! Tessa Dooms, Director at Rivonia Circle and Lynsey Ebony Chutel, a journalist for The New York Times, have both reiterated this (they're the authors of the book titled Coloured - how classification became a culture. I often compare the way South Africans feel about how the U.S. portrays South Africa and the rest of Africa to how coloured people are portrayed. The depiction is often through a very skewed lens. The coloured community is far from being a monolith, yet there is a tendency to tar us all with the same brush. There are stereotypes and negative labels about us that many coloured people can't even relate to. It’s quite amusing 😂

Also, thank you for this channel!!! You're doing the Lord's work! Regards, Coloured South African ❤️🇿🇦

Thoughts 💭?!

It will take time to move forward , why we as SA people still stay separated . We meet at work at school , that's it .

A very little known history outside of our country & underrepresented/misrepresented within it, is that of slavery & genocide in South Africa. If you want to understand why "Coloured" exists as a ethno-racial category in South Africa (and its neighbours), the initial colonisation by the Dutch is where to start. When the Dutch East India Company set up their fort at the Cape of Good Hope, they started trafficking in slave labour. Between 1656 to 1812, from 60,000-80,000 people were disembarked at the port in Cape Town and sold into slavery. Enslaved people in the first colony originated from various regions of Africa & Asia. The first two ships came from the Atlantic coasts of West & Central Africa (Nigeria-Benin & Angola), but thereafter all the Company's slave trading was restricted to the Indian Ocean. The makeup of the enslaved population shifted and changed over time, but, overall, it's estimated that the origins of foreign-born slaves were around 50% East African (Mozambique & Madagascar especially), 25% South Asian (Bengal, Southern India & Sri Lanka especially), 22% Southeast Asian (Java, Bali, Sulawesi & various other Indonesian islands) and the remainder a diversity of other African, Asian & American regions. At the same time, the Dutch colonial expansion was putting pressure on local Indigenous peoples. Khoekhoe-speaking cattle-herding groups went to war several times against the settlers, resisting their increasing encroachment on the land. Suffering loss of cattle and lives from these, as well as from a number of smallpox epidemics introduced to the colony, Indigenous societies became unstable, many people became impoverished and were coerced into serving as labourers for settlers or otherwise displaced further inland. Arguably one of the least known aspects of colonisation in South African, is the active genocide Dutch settlers instigated against Indigenous Bushman peoples. Ever-expanding settler farmers would form commandos and go on extermination raids on local Bushman bands who they considered "vermin" same as leopards, jackals, etc. who threatened their livestock. Survivors of these raids (mostly young women & children) might be spared only to be distributed among the farmers as slaves. Under these conditions, the enslaved people and disenfranchised Indigenous people typically become disconnected from ancetral cultures, lost languages and creolised identities sprang up in response. Most of the communities counted under the "Coloured" classification (and its subcategories) by the Apartheid regime trace their roots back to these histories, sharing, for instance, traditional dishes like the mentioned bobotie (said to originate with the cooking of enslaved women incorporating & adapting Asian spices in Dutch settler kitchens and possibly gets its name from Malay "bobotok") and speaking Afrikaans as a home language (once called "kitchen Dutch" because its speakers were slaves & servants). Before the institution of Apartheid already, immigrants to South Africa from other colonies (e.g. Mauritius, St Helena, Malawi, the Carribbean islands) would often also assimilate into local Coloured communities and many people could also form mixed families of e.g. Coloured-Xhosa heritage, Coloured-Tswana heritage. With Apartheid, such families had to choose or were forced into a classification- "Coloured" or "Native"- and were split up as a result. Today, for most South Africans, "Coloured" is just the name you call people with this kinds of backgrounds. There's some who reject the name for its Apartheid association, but also others who reclaim it. Either way, as a population group, Coloured South Africans represent a complex South African heritage intertwining various Indigenous and enslaved people's experiences of colonisation that are particular to our part of the continent.

9:15 Now you see what you just did! You confused 'African' with 'Black'.

Coloured is a made up Racist Apartheid Language, it has no meaning as far as ones Racial Identify and it’s only recognized in South Africa, it’s 2025 and still being used is just Sad

Last night the algorithm on TT showed me Polynesian people. The first video was of a guy who was singing beautifully, what's being sung in the coloured community - i.e, golden oldies. Upon reading the comments, it lead me to realise that the guy and the group he was with are in fact NOT coloured people! They LOOKED coloured in every aspect! I couldn't believe my eyes that they in fact weren't! It was a different experience to the "Brazil" and other experiences I've come across previously.

Why is these people speaking on behalf of the Khoi descendants They don't know what they talking about They just exploiting the injustices of Africans who are being oppressed by the Ngunis & they white masters The Zulus got white ancestry so does the Xhosas they don't call them Coloureds

Where else is this available on? Possibly on TikTok? I would like to share this!

I always feel that coloured people should be blanketed under Black but their culture is Coloured. Like you have Sotho, Pedi, Veda, etc but still Black. It's sad hearing the white lady speak. They all have this mindset, if not all, at least 90%. I love how well the coloured lady with the cargo jeans explain this. She is very intelligent. It's the economic segregation that has the most lasting effect

Is there coloured in Zimbabwe. I don't think this lady from Zimbabwe understand what coloured mean. The South African explain it right nit Zimbabwean one

I love the way she talks about it it's true no misunderstanding her you understand properly ❤ thanks girl

In Africa, Africans identify in terms with their ethnicity/tribe Not on all ancestry that makes the human, Being colored is not a race , more about ancestry Thats the difference In Africa, a child identity is tied paternally to their father no matter if they're mixed racially or tribally I don't buy the idea of colored because its base was/is to divide and rule Its not a community of related folks by blood

Yhea I could tell the lady with the green top is not from here , but. Surprise in Zimbabwe and Botswana it's like south Africa

Mixed race(bi-racial) = White parent + Black parent. Coloured = Multiracial parents ,grandparents,great grand parents,great great grand parents etc = Multigenerational. Every coloured genetics is different from the other , for that reason its been determined its the most diverse in the world. All races in one person. In my case 16 ethnicities. Most coloureds does not know that fact. Your looks will detemined your heritage,indian,chinese , khoi /San etc. Coloured can look like any race in the world. Coloureds come into existence in 1652 when the settlers brought the slaves to SA from Madagascar,St.Helena,Maurituis, China, India , Indonesia and North Africa, All these intermingle with each other and the settlers and indigenuis Khoi and San = COLOURED

This lady explained being coloured very well kudos to her❤. People fail to explain this most times

Only in South Africa I hear black people calling themselves "coloured" you're black stupid! De-colonize your minds!!!😮😮

***Correction...there is nothing called black in the boxes we tick...its African....Black is a political term. So you get African, White, Coloured etc...not black.I am not black, i am African Thank you!!!!!!!! Mandela was the only African in the Law Faculty at the University of Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg where he got his law degree and suffered racism from both the white student body and faculty during the years he spent in pursuit of this degree.Africans were not allowed to study at white universities, and their education was highly restricted and segregated. Access to higher education for Black people was limited, and the system was designed to maintain racial hierarchies and prevent equal opportunities for Black South Africans. FOR EXAMPLE AFRICANS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LEARN MATHEMATICS. Bantu Education system to limit the academic and intellectual development of Black South Africans. The curriculum was deliberately structured to prepare Black people for low-paying, manual labor jobs, rather than advanced academic fields.

3:52 WRONG!!! Ethiopia or as it known before WWII Abyssinia was colonized heavily. Its actually one of the most colonized regions of the world. Dont believe the none sense "Ethiopians" say they were never colonized in every breath. Because lies are repeated so often it doesn't magically turn it to be the truth.

The beautiful brown lady with cargo denim she nailed it
