As a Black American. I know Black South Africans (Zulu) I know Coloured South Africans and White South Africans. They all live here in the United States. They all shared the South African history freely, for that I am grateful. This is the reason South Africa is on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing this interview.
This woman is sugarcoating South African history. You can tell by her nervous laughter. But you remain calm and professional throughout the interview brother. I salute you for that.
Unfortunately the video is far from the truth,most white south Africans just skip through apartheid period and make it seem like it was just a small thing
She is the first white person in Africa to "not know where she came from". She is Dutch, English or German. Europeans always know where they came from, PLEASE.
@@justicetshovhota3940 lol what? South Africa was created in the early 20th century, and for about 200 years until they began to migrate the Whites were restricted to the Cape when they began to fight wars and massacre native South Africans in the east and that is after they've already caused genocide to the native population in the east.
@@justicetshovhota3940 She was not enslaved they came as invaders, illegal immigrants. Enslaved blacks globally can trace their origins. This lady cannot have the "stolen life" she has in SA, in Europe so denies any European links to extinguish any argument about land reform etc.She has "erased" her savage history as a coping mechanism.
The white people that are racist,learned it from their patents.But i love this women, she's not racist,and we can't blame all white people for or bad history.
Being not racist is not the same as being anti racist. Most whites are complicit beneficiaries. This lady just wants to maintain the staus quo. They love Mandela with his deal of them not redistributing stolen wealth. Where is the restitution?
this is insane she lives in her own world, how can she say they meant good with it when they tore families apart and displaced them from the city areas to move them to the townships. Her version of history is very distorted shes trying to erase the evil that was commited
@@Jazz-fg2dm Why the obsession with Orania? We blk SAns don't even give it a thought but you guys obsess over it. Leave them alone and move on to other things. Not all whites are out to get you. LOL
She is not telling the whole truth about the history and about what is happening now . The past it is waaaay darker than what she is saying and the current is not as rosy as she makes it seem. She is downplaying everything which I was kinda expecting…. No surprises there.
I am a native black American and even though i would say she's very economical and biased about the information she shared. Based off of the little I know, however I also understand the emotional trauma associated with being a native SouthAfrican and the possible triggers that can stem from this interview. I think Coop as a journalsit is doing his best to get different perspectives. Instead of bashing him with your view point which we outsiders emphathize greatly with, assit him with sharing to the world a more balanced perspective. Believe me Black Americans have no disdain for our fellow black south Africans because we can relate to your experience a lot more than most.
But you have to understand that some of the things said by this woman can be seen as racist and dismissive to Black South Africans. It's complete rubbish to suggest a White sport like rugby united this country. How can the country unite when the whites are hoarding all the wealth and all the land? Cooper comes off as ignorant actually interviewing this rightwing apologist. I think I'm more informed about relations between Black Americans and White Americans because he let this woman get away with too many lies, simplifications and indirect insults.
This lady is full of crap, and she is playing you. SA has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world and it mainly affects the Native South African people not the whites. The wealth gap between the two races is very disproportion and let's not talk about the land ownership. Land that was taken from the Native people. Nelson Mandela was a tool used by the power structure. He was not the same man prior to going to jail. You need to go and listen to his Rivonia trail speech. That's not the same Mandela that left prison. Mandela is commercialized by Whites and the Black South African gatekeepers just like Martin Luther King is in the USA. All you hear in the USA about King is the I have a dream speech but not his last speech, I've been to the mountaintop speech. The speech that got him assassinated. Back to Mandel, He was not going to be the president with Chris Hani still around. That's another story you need to learn about. You are talking to the wrong person if you want to know the truth. The difference between the white colonizers in SA and the other African countries is that they came to stay. You have a white only town in SA. You have white people stating their ancestors are from SA which is BS.
So what do you want her and her White folk to do? The Africans in SA have been in-charge since 1994. If they are still poor and unemployed in 2024 then the they are the problem.
She definitely told half truths with a sprinkle of lies,BUT i understand. This is a foreigner with a foreign audience. She is showing the Country in a good light and i can't be mad at that. We dont need to air out our dirty laundry to the world
@@KoketsoR7 The world already knew what’s up a long time ago. International pressure was actually a major part of why they were forced to give up political power in 94. Of course the threat of a major civil war also contributed a lot. And of course they will say it was voluntary transfer of power because of change of heart .. which we all know is not the case
True but during these economic times we need to show a positive image for tourism to come in which results in money circulation. We don't want to add on top of the bad images the western media has showed of us. This is a beautiful country people deserve to see it.
A lot of what she said is true. For example, some of us grew up iwhat was called the Bantustands, or homelands. The homelands or the Bantustands were run by our traditional leaders. For example where I come from was called Bophuthatswana, meaning the place that gathers the Batswana. Now remember that the whole of Gauteng Province and the North West Province is originally the land of the Batswana. This also includes the land of Botswana which is our neighboring country. Back to Bophuthatswana, we were a developed nation on our own and we managed to build one of the most sophisticated black establishment i Africa. Let me know if you want to know more about this.
Botswana is the missing peace come to think of it ❤ North West province North Cape province Gauteng province and parts of the free State are batswana territory 🙏 bophuthatswana 💃💃💃 black excellence right there Tautona boss..🇿🇦
Our first democratically elected president, his vision was to build an inclusive tolerant society. His name was Nelson Mandela. You can read about him , and he has written two books. We sympathize with Black Americans .
The lady is very economic with information about the history of apartheid, to put it kindly. Or she's ignorant about the history, but then again she's too old not to know about the history of apartheid if she's smart. She's my age mate, myself I grew up in Botswana in a small farming town where there were Africaners, coloureds, KhoiSan and us Africans. We all knew what was going on at the time in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. Everyone with a brain knew what was going on. I personally don't buy her lack of knowledge about apartheid, its brutality and intention to keep all the resources for the minority white population at the expense of Africans.
Her ancestors were not mere, "settlers," they pursued Settler colonialism and ended up ruling over an entire nation of indigenous true Africans. If their start in SA was wrong to begin with, why would black South Africans respect their wealthy descendants who were born into ill gotten wealth taken from a country that was not their own? She mentions everyone coming together for sports as if sports means something to an entire nation of people who suffered at the hands of her ancestors, an entire nation of people who have nothing financially in comparison to her who was born into ill gotten wealth.
Absolutely agree. After her ancestors murdered many of the indigenous people to obtain their land they placed a democratic system in the country and took control of the resources. This was actually done for the future generations like this woman to be comfortable and subjugate the black people all the while controlling the economic system.
SA is indeed a beautiful country. Of course, there are alot of problems including racism. But our differences and diversity make us unique. As a young black SAn I appreciate this country alot more recently. I'm proud to be part of it.
You are the problem because you are delusional. Yes SA maybe beautiful but who is running things? Who owns the land and the wealth? Why can't you go to places like Orania and Klienfontien? Why is there movement to separate the Western Cape? Why is there high xenophobia and Afrophobia and low employment? Why are there a drug problem and 50% single mothers? I could go on but if you're already delusional ..... what's the point?
You're NOT a "black" South African, you're just an *AFRICAN* . Don't you find it weird to refer to a White person as an "Afrikaner" but refer but call yourself "Black" in Africa?
Interracial unity in South Africa is only superficial. Black and white people only get along at bars or sports games, but as soon as the government tries to address the racial wealth gap and disproportionate land ownership, then you realize how divided we still are.
@@stikupartist3698 Are you South African the be sure of that? I've stayed and live with a black and white South Africans all my live and is exactly what she said. We get poese like you who smear and tarnish our image.
She’s telling her perspective and her truth and you can’t blame coop he’s only doing what he’s supposed to do. (As someone who doesn’t know South Africa) Which is gain knowledge and information. I didn’t agree with a lot of what she said about the racism in South Africa but not every white person from SA is racist. Listen carefully to what she’s saying instead of reacting emotionally. Thanks for the video Coop very informative. Racism is still rife in South Africa her experience is her experience alone but it’s not a great representation of the many attitudes that white South Africans carry towards the black people of the land. You need to get the black perspective as well Coop. So you can get a well rounded perspective of race in South Africa but I appreciate her coming on your channel and speaking so openly about it. Lastly remember as an outsider we don’t know much about to the history of South Africa our knowledge only stretches so far he is gonna have some questions about race because racism it’s a reality that we face in America all the time. Overt and Covert. Depending on the class and how much they need you and how much they can use you or benefit from you, you may experience different levels of racism. Sometimes Your class determines the level of racism you may receive. You might never experience racism because you’re from the USA and you have money. This is my personal opinion from being a foreigner in South Africa. This is how I see it but somebody might see it differently.
Racism in South Africa is multifaceted. In America you might live in a rich neighbourhood and be frisked by your own neighbour that didn’t recognise you. However when you rich and in South Africa you won’t experience such nonsense.
If one sat down with the likes of Hitler, King Leopold II, Cecil Rhodes, de Klerk I'm sure they would also have a strong point of view which they would deem to be honourable and the truth.
@@kevinmaden5572 living through or during apartheid doesn't mean you were part of government implementing the system, if you were born into a system you just have to obey the laws of the land
@urban_legend. Ok example the Chinese man told the Kenyan man why don't you act like the black 🖤 people in America ! He said black 🖤 people in America are better so he made a difference between Black 🖤 people and African 🌍 people but we both BLACK 🖤 🤔
I am almost sa.e age as this woman, I was 17 and 6 months old in 1994 April, but I was aware ascearly as 8 year old about Apartheid, having someone like her and says she was not aware of Apartheid, that for me gave a distorted version of truth infact herstory
Guy, don’t say you didn’t know what to expect when in your first video you were looking for racism to prove yourself right. In fact your visit was just to confirm that SA is racist. Unfortunately the results say otherwise.
While we are open to Americans and other foreigners who come to our country legally, this is one of those Americans that we don't want nor need in our country. They are the kind who want to rip open old wounds that we have already healed from. These are also the people who say that Nelson Mandela was wrong for wanting to build an inclusive society and wanting white people to stay as fellow citizens. Some black Americans come to reconnect to their African roots and appreciate what we have managed to build. Then there are these guys who come to do whatever he is doing so he can paint our country in a bad light for clicks and views. If he wants an African country with no white people, why doesn't he just go to Zimbabwe or Nigeria. In fact, there are many others to choose from. We certainly won't miss him here.
This channel is strange. He's only doing race baiting in South Africa. Very sill way of gaining views. I've observed your videos all intend to paint South Africa in a bad light
They are all like that... come over with a lot of damaged baggage. You show them a little bit of smile from the other side and they are ready to sell out. Also asking about Thanksgiving shows how much he knows.
SA is horrible country, not just due to the racism but the crime and gangs as well. It is sewer. And you are part of the problem for being offended by the messenger stating the truth but not offended by the reality of how bad things are there. It makes someone a race baiter for exposing the truth? I challenge anyone who reads your comment to just search racism in South Africa in 2024 here on RUclips and see for themselves.

Nice interview. But I hope you interview a black South African that was also born in the 70’s and get their perspective and their side of the story as well. Since so many people in the comments say she lying lol
This is unfortunately true most foreigners want to comment on things in South Africa not knowing how deep the problems are. The brother show have interviewed money people
By area, she means townships (our version of concentration camps), which we were forcefully moved there. This interview highlighted nothing, but it did show how ignorant and arrogant some white folks can be🤦🏾♂️
I wish you could've asked her about what is happening in Orania...some of us black S.A'ns are concerned they could be planning for a much bigger civil war.
I’m not South African but I go there 4 to 5 times a year and stay each time at least 10 days and I can guarantee that so called yt S.Africans are mostly undermining the reality of the situation just because real South Africans don’t tell them to their face and believe they need them to get a job since they are the one till these days controlling the ressources and the job market. There is no such thing as Yt South Africans only colonizers descendants.
this is an interview...coop is not responsible for what the woman says and he does not know....to each his own...you can unsubscribe..i have 2 accounts to back it up bye nigga
And where are you from to claim to know the truth about South Africa? These days South Africans can no longer speak for themselves there are people misrepresenting us. This white woman has the right to say whatever she wants to say as a South African. I dont agree with every black person why do you think this woman should speak on your behalf? That's her truth speak your truth this is what happens in SA we are a democracy. Your name suggests you are from French speaking country.
You have a very negative agenda and it's unfortunate. You could focus on so many positive aspects about South Africa yet you intentionally come to our country to dig up negativity that is hidden 6 feet underground. We have such an amazing country yet you've deliberately come here to perpetuate this Western propaganda.

Bless Elmarie's heart, but her views are a rather white-washed, and that's not saying she isn't entitled to them, but they are definitely not reflective of the black SAn experience. We appreciate her trying to keep the peace though.
I understand she was a kid when her ppl colonized SA. It is just so weird how her ppl can go all over the globe and take take and take. I don't like wrong.
Bro i been watching your videos and highly support you but this here is not yet.1 minute into the video i feel like it’s lies on top of lies . Can’t say i will watch your videos anymore tho.
He annoys the shit out of me. They think what is happening in America is happening here. South Africans are full of love, white, black, coloures and Indians. White South Africans are South Africans end of story. Inform yourself with our country I don’t like how you want to portray SA 🇿🇦 as.
Can you ever be a South European? Even if you have been there for generations? Nope, how about South Indian? Nope, South Chinese? Nope, but whites and nonblacks can be South African... smh lol yeah ok..
And this is why you deserve everything you are getting there from the oppressors children. When I see news stories about the violence towards blacks in the own country carried out by so called, "settlers" descendants, I laugh. Who cares if you as people are happy with it?
She's obviously minimising the tensions in SA and talking a load of BS. Rainbow Nation - this is how it has been sold to the indigenuous SAs. What a joke!
It's people like you who will forever drag this racial tensions narrative in this country...not all white people are racists, and this lady didnt talk any BS
@@fatimawindvoel2253It's people like you with your poor comprehension who make such comments. My comment is in response to this video. Did l state that they were all racists - perhaps that's what you really think!
Fam, as an African American we consider you one of ours and you're home here. But my advice is don't get too much on politics because it's a sensitive issue and rather speak to a variety of Black people so you form an informed perspective. Most things said by this White lady are very inaccurate and certain nuances which you can't obviously pick up are racist and reflect the entitlement and denialism held by most Whites. Why you chose to start your exploration of South African culture and history through the lens of a European is startling to me. There is racism in South Africa and leaders like Mandela were actually threatened in coming into democracy not to transform economic patterns. Very disappointing vlog in my view.
How she not know where her ancestors come from ?😂 She needs to check her last name and the language she speaks,Afrikaans. I’m sure it will lead back to Holland. She’s trying to make out like her family is indigenous to Africa 😂😂
I thought after the first ten seconds of this interview that I would have to write copious amounts to set the record straight after all of the BS coming out of this reprobate colonialist's mouth. However, after looking through the other comments it seems that I don't have to do that.
Black Americans need therapy to deal with the hangover from their slavery days, in SA we have largely moved on from apartheid but it seems our brothers and sisters in America find it hard to accept that we are largely living in harmony with our former oppressors.
I forgot to subscribe on the earlier video I watched, so I searched your channel to subscribe. Sorry but I have to call a spade a spade, This lady is a straight out liar. She lied to your face with a smile on almost every question you asked her
If one sat down with the likes of Hitler, King Leopold II, Cecil Rhodes, de Klerk I'm sure they would also have a strong point of view which you'd subscribe to.
@@SharonAna-hl9ix Yet many blk RUclipsrs have gone there and conducted interviews with blacks walking in the background. Don't visit your racist issues on us.
Bophutatswana is now the North West province of South Africa not a neighbouring country and was previously the homeland of the Batswana people ..previously British-Bechuanaland whilst the sovereign state of Botswana was Bechuanaland. Homelands were made for black 🇿🇦 (divide and conquer) accordingly to their respective tribes ..we have 9 tribes/ groups in South africa of which majority of us STILL live in those black areas (the significant wealth gap is evident)..this is a feel good interview and does not really confront racial issues in South Africa ..... The land you were standing on was a "whites only area/net blankes"... and such legacy of apartheid lives on ! I guarantee you mainly came across whites in that area ... FAKE FAKE FAKE ....visit Soweto or one of the townships were its mainly blacks or coloured people i.e Eldorado Park after those suburbs to see the REAL REALITY...
She said her whole family were South African. So they are indigenous to South Africa? 😅😅😅. That question aftet about where her family came from must have put a wrench in her story.
This woman is speaking her truth all you need to do is speak your truth. Thats how it is in SA we are a democracy. I dont agree with every black person why mist i expect this white woman to speak my truth? If you are South African you should understand this we are a democracy.

SA is indeed a beautiful country. Of course, there are alot of problems including racism. But our differences and diversity make us unique.
As a young black SAn I appreciate this country alot more recently. I'm proud to be part of it.
You are the problem because you are delusional. Yes SA maybe beautiful but who is running things? Who owns the land and the wealth? Why can't you go to places like Orania and Klienfontien? Why is there movement to separate the Western Cape? Why is there high xenophobia and Afrophobia and low employment? Why are there a drug problem and 50% single mothers? I could go on but if you're already delusional ..... what's the point?
She know the truth but she chose not to tell the truth
Go ask white American that
As a black South African I knew she was gonna talk shit
@tsholofelosharonmbele I watched the whole interview. I'm wondering which shit she spoke that I missed. Please refer me to any in the video.
You're NOT a "black" South African, you're just an *AFRICAN* . Don't you find it weird to refer to a White person as an "Afrikaner" but refer but call yourself "Black" in Africa?

Was she trying to justify apartheid... or i heard my own things !!!!
Interracial unity in South Africa is only superficial. Black and white people only get along at bars or sports games, but as soon as the government tries to address the racial wealth gap and disproportionate land ownership, then you realize how divided we still are.
That’s great information. 👍🏾
She is 100% correct.
I doubt it.

@@grahamsolomons453 white people fight to preserve oppression. It's in your nature.
She’s telling her perspective and her truth and you can’t blame coop he’s only doing what he’s supposed to do. (As someone who doesn’t know South Africa) Which is gain knowledge and information. I didn’t agree with a lot of what she said about the racism in South Africa but not every white person from SA is racist.
Listen carefully to what she’s saying instead of reacting emotionally.
Thanks for the video Coop very informative.
Racism is still rife in South Africa her experience is her experience alone but it’s not a great representation of the many attitudes that white South Africans carry towards the black people of the land. You need to get the black perspective as well Coop. So you can get a well rounded perspective of race in South Africa but I appreciate her coming on your channel and speaking so openly about it.
Lastly remember as an outsider we don’t know much about to the history of South Africa our knowledge only stretches so far he is gonna have some questions about race because racism it’s a reality that we face in America all the time. Overt and Covert.
Depending on the class and how much they need you and how much they can use you or benefit from you, you may experience different levels of racism. Sometimes Your class determines the level of racism you may receive. You might never experience racism because you’re from the USA and you have money. This is my personal opinion from being a foreigner in South Africa. This is how I see it but somebody might see it differently.
Exactly! That so true.
It's childish to tell people they are childish when they themselves are telling thier own perspectives. Learn to respect people and grow up sir
@@KoketsoR7 my
Apologies you’re absolutely right. I don’t want to take away from your experience. Didn’t mean to say that I’ve removed it.
Racism in South Africa is multifaceted. In America you might live in a rich neighbourhood and be frisked by your own neighbour that didn’t recognise you. However when you rich and in South Africa you won’t experience such nonsense.
If one sat down with the likes of Hitler, King Leopold II, Cecil Rhodes, de Klerk I'm sure they would also have a strong point of view which they would deem to be honourable and the truth.
Afrikaans is a Dutch dialect forgodness sake. They came from the Netherlands. 😅😅
I've noticed in the interview she feels comfortable with the African 🖤 American man ! Maybe because he is from another country 🤔
Do you know the woman? Your statement is weird like everyone falls into a catergory
@urban_legend. So if she was there through APARTEID I'm like what made her change ?
@@kevinmaden5572 living through or during apartheid doesn't mean you were part of government implementing the system, if you were born into a system you just have to obey the laws of the land
@urban_legend. Ok example the Chinese man told the Kenyan man why don't you act like the black 🖤 people in America ! He said black 🖤 people in America are better so he made a difference between Black 🖤 people and African 🌍 people but we both BLACK 🖤 🤔

Nice interview Coop!
I am almost sa.e age as this woman, I was 17 and 6 months old in 1994 April, but I was aware ascearly as 8 year old about Apartheid, having someone like her and says she was not aware of Apartheid, that for me gave a distorted version of truth infact herstory
Guy, don’t say you didn’t know what to expect when in your first video you were looking for racism to prove yourself right. In fact your visit was just to confirm that SA is racist. Unfortunately the results say otherwise.
😂😂say it like it is..
While we are open to Americans and other foreigners who come to our country legally, this is one of those Americans that we don't want nor need in our country. They are the kind who want to rip open old wounds that we have already healed from. These are also the people who say that Nelson Mandela was wrong for wanting to build an inclusive society and wanting white people to stay as fellow citizens. Some black Americans come to reconnect to their African roots and appreciate what we have managed to build. Then there are these guys who come to do whatever he is doing so he can paint our country in a bad light for clicks and views. If he wants an African country with no white people, why doesn't he just go to Zimbabwe or Nigeria. In fact, there are many others to choose from. We certainly won't miss him here.
What a lier. She knows where her ancestors came from. Dutch or England period.
This woman is either TROLLING or she is COMPLETELY DELUSIONAL. I was in SA in MARCH 2024, and it’s still very apartheid and racist!
She would never say her family is racist are she is on camera ....also, all this time she doesn't know where her family is from ???
Stop smoking coke Nigro 😂😂
Even black nigerians r racists
Exactly!
Do you even know what is apartheid?
This channel is strange. He's only doing race baiting in South Africa. Very sill way of gaining views. I've observed your videos all intend to paint South Africa in a bad light
They are all like that... come over with a lot of damaged baggage. You show them a little bit of smile from the other side and they are ready to sell out. Also asking about Thanksgiving shows how much he knows.
SA is horrible country, not just due to the racism but the crime and gangs as well. It is sewer. And you are part of the problem for being offended by the messenger stating the truth but not offended by the reality of how bad things are there. It makes someone a race baiter for exposing the truth? I challenge anyone who reads your comment to just search racism in South Africa in 2024 here on RUclips and see for themselves.

You are too sensitive over nothing.
It's not like things are going well known in SA.
Chill madoda
Its a harsh reality .Maybe if you address the issue you can come to a solution.
You just had to talk to a colonizer not a native of this country .That is weird .
Some whites did not enjoy apartheid they were nice to black people come on guys

They were kind oppressors 😅

Nice interview. But I hope you interview a black South African that was also born in the 70’s and get their perspective and their side of the story as well. Since so many people in the comments say she lying lol
Doesn't take much for them to cross over. Deep desire for acceptance is real.

So why are you watching his channel ??

This is unfortunately true most foreigners want to comment on things in South Africa not knowing how deep the problems are. The brother show have interviewed money people
To since 😂 - great interview
By area, she means townships (our version of concentration camps), which we were forcefully moved there. This interview highlighted nothing, but it did show how ignorant and arrogant some white folks can be🤦🏾♂️

Good interview
This is such an interesting 🧐 video.
Why did you let this woman come on here telling half truths… this is disgusting
Are you from South Africa? If i may ask?
I’m not South African but I go there 4 to 5 times a year and stay each time at least 10 days and I can guarantee that so called yt S.Africans are mostly undermining the reality of the situation just because real South Africans don’t tell them to their face and believe they need them to get a job since they are the one till these days controlling the ressources and the job market. There is no such thing as Yt South Africans only colonizers descendants.
this is an interview...coop is not responsible for what the woman says and he does not know....to each his own...you can unsubscribe..i have 2 accounts to back it up bye nigga
And where are you from to claim to know the truth about South Africa? These days South Africans can no longer speak for themselves there are people misrepresenting us. This white woman has the right to say whatever she wants to say as a South African. I dont agree with every black person why do you think this woman should speak on your behalf? That's her truth speak your truth this is what happens in SA we are a democracy. Your name suggests you are from French speaking country.
This how dum he his with is American bull 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
This lady talks like a politician, whole lot of misinformation
You have a very negative agenda and it's unfortunate. You could focus on so many positive aspects about South Africa yet you intentionally come to our country to dig up negativity that is hidden 6 feet underground. We have such an amazing country yet you've deliberately come here to perpetuate this Western propaganda.
I think Americans like to talk about racism more than SA maybe? based on numerous posts online abt this topic.

Bro i been watching your videos and highly support you but this here is not yet.1 minute into the video i feel like it’s lies on top of lies . Can’t say i will watch your videos anymore tho.
Why did you bring on this lier ?. Couldn't you find an honest white person, even though that's hard to find.🇧🇸
He annoys the shit out of me. They think what is happening in America is happening here.
South Africans are full of love, white, black, coloures and Indians.
White South Africans are South Africans end of story.
Inform yourself with our country I don’t like how you want to portray SA 🇿🇦 as.
Can you ever be a South European? Even if you have been there for generations? Nope, how about South Indian? Nope, South Chinese? Nope, but whites and nonblacks can be South African... smh lol yeah ok..
You see there's a difference between Indigenous to the land and a foreigner who moves there and gains citizenship there and nationality.
When blacks suffer where they happen to be in the minority and yet find blacks in Africa chilling and unconcerned
And this is why you deserve everything you are getting there from the oppressors children. When I see news stories about the violence towards blacks in the own country carried out by so called, "settlers" descendants, I laugh. Who cares if you as people are happy with it?

Fam, as an African American we consider you one of ours and you're home here. But my advice is don't get too much on politics because it's a sensitive issue and rather speak to a variety of Black people so you form an informed perspective. Most things said by this White lady are very inaccurate and certain nuances which you can't obviously pick up are racist and reflect the entitlement and denialism held by most Whites. Why you chose to start your exploration of South African culture and history through the lens of a European is startling to me. There is racism in South Africa and leaders like Mandela were actually threatened in coming into democracy not to transform economic patterns. Very disappointing vlog in my view.
👍
Good one. Great interview, sir.
How she not know where her ancestors come from ?😂 She needs to check her last name and the language she speaks,Afrikaans. I’m sure it will lead back to Holland. She’s trying to make out like her family is indigenous to Africa 😂😂
I thought after the first ten seconds of this interview that I would have to write copious amounts to set the record straight after all of the BS coming out of this reprobate colonialist's mouth. However, after looking through the other comments it seems that I don't have to do that.
Great interview. Stop thinking of rasism all the time.
He cant he's one of those "Americans"..
It's tough for black people where they happen to be in the minority and yet they find blacks in Africa chilling and unconcerned
