What the Guy from Ghana said makes absolutely sense, one shouldn't be hired based on skin colour but merit, we should pick the best people to do the job(s). It goes the same with sports, we choose the best to represent the country. BEE is the exact same as DEI in the USA.

The brown-haired lady in faded dungarees is the MOSTEST! She came prepared. Brava! Brava! Brava!

Tifsuye yene konjo, I'm proud of you woww

Maybe 😅

😂

What I would like to know is when these topics come up, why aren't mixed identity specialists not also invited to air their views? One example of such experts is specialists from the organization called Mixed in America, amongst other groups.

Misinformation and a little information is dangerous thing. Coloured is a term that the apartheid government has given the descendants of Khoi, San, imported slaves who mixed the local and European inhabitants in the Cape Colony. During early years of colonial rule up to the 1950 these groups did not have this tag. I was born in the sixties and my grand parents that was born in the late 1890 never had race classification. The apartheid government classified people according to the color of their skin, the texture of their hair and certain facial fixtures. It was easy to distinguish between the pure European and Black African ethnic group but it was difficult for groups between them. There was no scientific way to classify this group other than coloured. The prevouis names that was used Hotnots and Hottentotte. This method of race classification also resulted in that some families were divided an destroyed with some members classified as coloured others white or black. They obviously had to live in different areas. The ANC under Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki choose continue this demeaning and racist coloured classification of the apartheid predecessors to benefits the so-called black Africans. This is despite the fact when we fought our freedom under UDF, the Unity, Black consciousness and other liberation movements that there is no such thing as a coloured people and the term would be abolished. Today the so-called coloured people are suffering the apartheid under this ANC government.

This guy from Ghana has no idea how deep rooted the systemic racism is. How many more hoops black SAns have to jump through just to get the same opportunities as a white SAns. Many black SAns don't even have their own rooms at home. They have to help our with chores while others are busy studying. To get to school takes an hour because of the long walk or public transport commute. Even when you pass matric well, you struggle to pay the fees and must stress about financial exclusion. They will give you less marks for the same answer, because you're black. Nevermind the fact that you must attain this knowledge in a language you don't speak at home. You must battle stereotypes such as people not believing your work came from you, or that you're going to lie, cheat, steal, etc. There are no heroes nor examples of what you want to be in your hometown. Even when you get some money, you must send it back home. I could go on and on. All of the odds are stacked against you as a black SAn. This is not self-victimization, is it lived reality. So we must abandon this notion that there is a level playing field in SA. Far from it!

Thank you for explaining our coloured people's history part of it ❤❤❤❤

People should stop blaming apartheid for everything i know it was bad but 30 years down look at our schooling 30% pass rate there are other races that were brough here under difficult situation but they made a success of their lives they didnt sit and complain or wait for hand outs

Very one sided view.

No other option.

Most if not all white people want to be BROWN. Not black

There is missing reco'rds of Cleopatra mother side of course because of anti blackness in Eygpt there will always be speculation and controversy over here heritage. When Cleopatra was played by famous white actress Elizabeth Taylor no one was up in arms. My opinion from my own personal research and conclusion Cleopatra would be someone of mixed races Greek and Ancient Eygptian indigenous Egyptian. However who tells the history will tell in their favor I get that but, also living in this world we can all come to a conculsion that things are not what they always seem. So do your own research before you judge . Jada Pinkett did research and she bought on scholars who have studied and done extensive research. Also this Black Caribbean American on your panel, I would say I'm some what of his complexion however I could never say I'm Caribbean American we are not the same black there are nuiances. My family goes back many generations being in America, yes black American history goes further than slavery. It's not and easy discussion but needs to be had so thank you for that!

Sigh...

South Africa is f.....d

Black people forever bloody whinging

Sadly for every educated African person there are 10 who arrive wanting a free life and are not repectful of the country they are living in. 😢

I WOULD 100% DARK LIKE THOSE DARK AFRICANS SO I COULD MEDETATE AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE CREATOR.

yoh this girl is powerful. Watched the whole show. She should represent us in all interviews pertaining South Africa. Well spoken, and knows what she is talking about. Well done my beautiful Queen.🇿🇦🇿🇦❤❤

the African guy very ignorant

Wow that lady. Such a good explainer. Love her

Cause they want color

Ma questa gente è fuori di testa completamente

Absolute horse shit

"Blackness" are not exclusive to Africa only.

Can colored people ever fully claim an identity that is distinct from both Black and White? Thoughts 💭

Chris , I don't know your racial background but if you're dad isn't black, your not black Identity is not what you wish to take on , or how others perceive you You can pass as black but your not black

In northern Africa, there are indigenous black people And there are the Mediterranean and Arabs... Arabs are an ethnic people from Asia So no , you're not African Let's stop the misunderstanding Yes Africa is a continent but being African has to do with the indigenous people

Secondly colored is not a race , because it does not fall in the yardstick used for race , ethnicity, tribe or clan They're mixed people , that also comes in various shades of skin complexion/ race So colored has to be a culture! Notwithstanding They could associate with any race , based on their comfortability but their identity still lies with the parent who they take up their surname, Just as tyla still remains an Indian south Africa, An Asian and never African Living in a continent for years never changes one's identity

To the Cameroonian, nobody in the world comes from two countries or region in a country It's either you're from one region and have a heritage from another region through the other parents Something is definitely wrong with the educational systems of a lot of countries And the lack of culture, for reading In today's world How can people not understand the difference between identity and heritage? If she's getting married today or is already married, which of the family took the bride price ...that's where you come from . Your ethnicity/ tribe / identity

The issue at hand isn’t merely the shade of one’s skin-black or white. The deeper reason many people distance themselves from being identified as African or black lies in cultural perceptions. Some individuals go as far as identifying with multiple national flags in their bios rather than embracing the term "black." This reluctance stems largely from stereotypes associated with black culture, including perceived primitivism or backwardness in values and morals. Many choose to dissociate from these perceptions to be seen as "civilized" and gain acceptance in society. This dynamic also explains why some groups, such as Coloured people and "Arabs" on the African continent (including Egyptians and Ethiopians), take offense at being classified as black. They recognize the privileges and societal advantages that come with distancing themselves from blackness. In many societies, especially those with entrenched racial inequalities like South Africa, skin color dictates one’s life trajectory-shaping professions, income levels, and even how human, or less human, one is treated. Ethnicity often becomes secondary in this equation. To highlight the absurdity of this system, consider how mistaken identification plays out: if a person of color is mistakenly called "white," they are unlikely to be offended-in fact, many might take it as a compliment. This reaction reveals a deeper truth: it’s not about ethnicity or heritage; it’s about avoiding the stigma attached to blackness. I can relate to these experiences personally. My identity is technically Coloured: my father is Coloured, with Dutch and Coloured ancestry, while my mother is Zulu with some Indian heritage. Despite this, I choose to identify as black and embrace that identity, rejecting the anti-black sentiment embedded in the Coloured community. To identify as Coloured often means rejecting blackness-a conscious choice, particularly in a country like South Africa, where 80% of the population is black, and there are 12 official languages. Choosing to learn only Afrikaans and English in such a context reflects an intentional distancing from black culture. I speak from experience. Afrikaans was my first and primary language growing up, and my English was poor until after high school when I decided to improve it alongside my Zulu. This choice was met with disdain from my father’s side of the family. The rejection I faced wasn’t just about cultural differences-it extended to me as a person. The hatred seemed to go beyond my actions or values; it felt directed at my identity as a whole. In my family, people on both my mother’s and father’s sides look very different from me, and I grew up believing that individuals should be judged as individuals, not by their race. However, stepping out of my community exposed me to harsh realities. I realized how people who looked like my father and aunts treated me differently-at times with disdain-simply because of my skin color. It was a rude awakening to racism. The treatment I received wasn’t due to anything I had done but purely because of my blackness. What hurt most was that the rejection came from people who resembled my family: my father, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents-people I loved and respected. To experience such hate, not for my morals or values but because of the shade of my skin, was profoundly painful.

Rightly said

On point

The coloured lady with brown hair nailed it. As a black south african i honestly thought i new the difference between coloureds and mixed race but I guess i was wrong. I learned something new today. Thank you.

Why is the Ghanaian guy so ignorant?

A room full of cluelessness 😂

I am coloured by being from mixed races on my father's side my great grandfather was a Mauritian slave who married a black woman and from my mother's side great grandfather was a Dutchman who married a blackwoman that's how I became who I am mixed race.

The most important question is, what are colored and black doing to come together. Time to count out of that apartheid state where 1 group thinks they are more superior than the other.

It’s amazing how SAfcans can trace the race of their parents/ grandparents and great grandparents.

You’re not moving forward because blacks and colored hate each othet

Coloured nd Mixed are same people just being in different countrys. In Europe UK etc Coloureds would be called Mixed race. In nigeria its halfcaste, In USA its Biaracial, thn thrre meztisas, Molato etc etc every country has a different title but they are all in the same bracket. ASZ LONG AS yr parents are different races just like children being born i. Interacial relationships the children are mixed nd they fall under same as coloured. Etc etc..coloureds nd mixed are born from 2 different races. I wish I was part of these conversations. Theres no difference colourdd nd mixed race we r all in the same category under different titles depending which country you were born nd live. Guys its like Blacks from all different countrys they are all Blacks just different tribes nd live in different countrys but they are all Black. Same goes with all other nations. Sorry Coloureds of RSA u guyz mixed. Race s all.over the world are the same people just doing things differently depending on which country u were born nd raised. And zcoloureds are nit all light skin some are browner some are darker some were born black/India, Arab/Black. ETHIOPIAN/BLACK ETC ETC the children will be darker complexion but are still coloured. Coloureds come in different shades of colour. Some are light like whites but curly hair etc depebfing who u go go marry after some coloureds msrry whites. Some Black or chinese or japanese etc etc this is why Coloureds nd all these groups of people have different shades of colour skin.

It's funny when whites accuse black people to be stark in the past when we always see videos of white school children being racist in 2024

Even among we the blacks, we they do racism pass

Very easy to sit there and say what people should do.What about you? Are you leading by example? What are doing for communities or those in need?

No, it's not.

🎉🎉🎉

The same issue is happening to the west. Migrants come and share the small cake

She is so clear. Bless our sister with insight

What people dont seem to acknowledge is that the whites were also disenfranchised by the seoaration
