@Zeeqtee Prn The coloured category was created by the colonialists and apartheid government, originally coloureds were non-black people who had khoisan, malaysian heritage, but with time mixed race people came out looking like coloured and joined in and some light and sometimes dark-skinned blacks jumped over to that category because it came with privileges. South African race pyramid was set like this- Black, Indian, Coloured and Black...the darker the skin the fucked-up your life was gonna be.

I'm a Coloured from Zimbabwe.. We never had that kind of problem.. The problem with SA coloureds is that they think they are much more Better than others and they have a sense of superior and closer to Whites.. They wanna benefit from both sides.. They must stop blaming other people for their drug weakness.. It started during apartheid days.. They hate Law .. But they play victims.. They kills each other and they blame the Gvt.. We have a worse Economic situation in Zimbabwe but doing illegal business and Gangsterism is by choice...
Embrace everyone race or nationality of color don't be so quick to past judgment understand that regardless of the race (black or coloured) the struggle remains the same... there's power in numbers and weakness in separation
They wouldn't meet the government's definition of black because they weren't living in South Africa as blacks under apartheid. The would just be Americans.
by the black community they are considered black, but I've heard some coloureds claiming them to be coloured which is strange...lol it's a crazy world.
'Coloured' is a colonial construct, but it's more of a language issue in South Africa than what a person looks like. To be considered 'black' by the majority population, it's assumed you belong to an indigenous ethnic group and culture (for example, Zulu, Xhosa, etc.) and speak an African language. Most 'Coloured' people speak only Afrikaans and/or English and obviously don't practise African tribal customs. Also, under apartheid, black people had to carry pass books, whereas coloureds did not. So even though coloureds suffered discrimination, the government put a wedge between them and the black majority by allowing 'Coloureds' a bit more 'privilege'. The old divide and rule tactic. And what we see are the consequences. Aluta continua!
Nothing strange that the european colonizers accorded a honorary white status to these "biracial black people" this a practice they have carried out everywhere they went. Notice how great attention is given to the "biracial" Bob Marley of the WAILERS while his darker skin counterparts Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer are ignored.
Yes this is exactly the issue. Coloured people don't know what they are and this is exactly by design with the deliberate segregation between black and mixed by placing them a bit of above being black on the social hierarchy and speak Afrikaans or English. This creates obvious tensions between the black and coloured communities and creates a class of people that wants to be anything but black and perceived by the black community as such.
@@chialuchia1745 'Coloureds' only had it 'easier' because they didn't have to carry official documents granting them 'permission' to be in an urban area (known as the pass system). Police used to arrest hundreds of black people daily in the cities if they couldn't show the right documentation. They would then put them on busses 'back' to their rural so-called 'Homelands' - even if they'd been born in the city. Black families were broken up because of these inhuman laws. In short, coloured people were not subject to these particular apartheid laws - even though they were restricted and discriminated against.
I have personally felt the most racial prejudice from "coloureds" than from any other race in SA. They are the only people that have made me feel like inferior and not worthy of being human because I'm black. The only time I was called a "k@f#" was by a coloured person. Those who don't relate only feel that way because they don't want to, and yet they want to be called black only that one time that it benefits them. The problems they talk about in this documentary are everywhere in SA
Their self hatred will hurt them more. They hate the pride of black south africans how we havent lost our culture how we dobt need admixture to be beautiful. Unfortunately insecure people like as you see here in the documentary will do everything to hurt those with ancestral pride. That's why you'll see the leaders of anti black groups and anti black history spreading are coloureds. Its envy dont let that get to you. Atleast you have a culture a ancestors a pride.
@@evolvedanimeisland thats my issue. Sold us out to the white man? Where did you here that?

The coloured community wants nothing to do with blacks, to such an extent that they actually embraced how the coloured community was classified by the apartheid government. Since whites were the minority, they decided to elevate Indians and Coloureds in order to get some form of support. Till this day you still find coloureds that use the slur work that was used by the whites against black South Africans. They were told they were better than blacks and it gave them a few privilages, I would understand that they would have accepted such for survival but the fact that they still hold the same views imposed on them by the Apartheid government is baffling.
That's what I HATE about them. They want the benefits of being black but don't want to be black. Black people are accepting, if they collectively shun you, they usually have a good reason to do so.

@Doven Ro Galus Conflicts existed not because of identity from color, but being identified as the "enemy" or "foreign" tribe (family) trying to take land because they were expanding as the human race. Same thing in ancient Europe, ancient Asia and the America's. But that was "normal" ancient behaviour until these cultures began to unify themselves through culture, language, marriage, etc. Japan being the *best* example of unification. Colorism and it's practice did not happen until the trans Atlantic slave trade, which saw a greater ad mixture in Africans and intensified as the generations became lighter. Africans of different shades were treated differently, some reaping the best benefits of "passing"; Or being treated accordinly within the context of their varying degree of lightness, by the ruling class. That monster took on a life of it's own in the black community and has been passed down for 100+ years now. "Redbone", "High yellow"; "Lite, bright", etc.; ALL modern forms of how mixed blacks are perceived, by blacks (in America). Not sure if this slang is used overseas, although people overseas do have their slang terms for people of African descent. But still the same burden of being from a mixed heritage, resembling what the natives hate because of what "apartheid" aka segregation has afforded them, in their own homeland.
@Doven Ro Galus these people have the iq of a 3rd through 6th grader and as such they blame their own faults on someone else. Haiti had ruled itself for 200 years and they are the lowest iq in the western hemisphere but they will blame all their problems on anyone but themselves. This is not funny it is scary because it gives us a glimpse of the future.
@Doven Ro Galus do you live there? I'm surprised they are so racialzed given they were suppose to be a rainbow nation. I would have hoped a leader could focus them on social, human, economic, and other development instead of Malema and the media promoting racial and ethnic cleansing. The violence I've seen is appalling so the hatred they display comes from somewhere. They are still practicing apsrtheid i hear but the tables have turmed and the black rulers ate intent on pay back. Are they capable of living at a first world level? Unlikely. Societies with population IQs under 90 struggle everywhere.
I have many issues with this documentary. It seems to have lots of holes. But what I'd like to focus on is by first saying any platform that gives *SOUTH AFRICANS* a voice is appreciated. My concern is that the issues raised were national issues not race issues. She says unemployment in black communities is far higher than in coloured communities yet still insinuates it's because the government is marginalizing coloured? How if black communities have a higher unemployment rate? Crime, drugs, prostitution happens in poor black communities too. Black communities have also taken things in their own hands and protested and tried to get rid of drug dealers. Such documentaries such as this one from BBC news come and try divide the nation by imposing that the government is a racist one instead of a failing one. No our government has failed *SOUTH Africans* in westberry, in Alexandria blacks coloured Indians whites not only a race. I stand against ppl who try divide SOUTH Africa. But I stand hand in hand with ppl who voice out their marginalized experiences! Black coloured or Indian.
@@ab-ul1yz yes and white. I mentioned white in the statement above. But my point is that SOUTH Africa belongs to ALL who live in it and identify as south african. Non is greater or more important than the over. All are equal. And if the government does not fail a race, it fails SOUTH Africans.
Kkkkk coloreds are Racist towards us blacks they see themselves as White's. Watch that movie called for Coloreds Girls. There is no History of Coloreds.
@@theonly6359 the native Africans were classified as coloured since 1950 so to answer ur question yes...coloured is an umbrella term for lot of races and native tribes...you can be coloured and not African like the Cape malays etc and you can be Coloured and African like us hottentots and bushmen people how they love to call us...
Let me add - South Africans should be proud of themselves for being honest about their racial categories! In other mixed countries they pretend that there are no divisions. In most multiracial countries with a large black population (and even in 'black' countries) everyone discriminates against the darker skinned or African looking black people. These other countries say that they do not racially discriminate and are not racist but they are! Two examples: Brazil and Jamaica! Darker skinned black people are marginalised and excluded because of their looks. The people who discriminate against them are white, coloured and black!!! Not just white people. The beautiful young black winner of Brazil's Carnival Queen competition was later told to step down by the organisers and give up her crown a few years ago because a lot of people complained that as a black girl, she was not worthy. She was not considered beautiful enough and she received a lot of abuse from white, black and coloured people. In modern times! In Jamaica it is difficult to get a smart job if you are dark skinned. A growing number of men and women have started bleaching their skin. This type of discrimination happens all over the Caribbean, South and Central America, North America and in Caribbean communities in Europe! They don't deal with it, they just sweep it under the carpet and pretend there is no differentiation or division. It's much more open and honest in South Africa.
Yes, I read about that girl in Brazil. I was really shocked that people could actually do that in this age and time. Brazil is such a racist country not matter how much they try to portray as a racial democracy.
Do not talk about my country, in jamaica you can get whatever job if you are qualified and fyi whites makes up less than 1 percent of the population. I won't say my country is perfect but being black is a non factor when it comes on to getting a job. Jamaica has problems with discriminating against others who live in specific violent areas and also issue with classism.
Colourism was a big problem in Jamaica in the past and from what I commonly hear and see, it still is. It gives me hope to know that things have changed?/are changing? now in Jamaica. So hopefully nowadays, unlike in the past, people no longer prefer light skin to dark skin and all skin colours are appreciated. Respect.@@kanekiken00A
I do not praise this racial classifications in SA. It’s just divide and conquer by whites. Most of these colored are almost completely black but like to hang on to whatever drop of Europeans or other they have in them. They want to be as close to white as possible.
@@sueme55 I agree with what you are saying however us coloured people are proud to be coloured, when appriatet happened we suffered just as much as the black people because we weren't white, yet that name coloured doesn't enslave us anymore. We say that name with deep pride we don't complain about what people call us because coloured is just a word. Whites, black, coloureds who cares words only have meaning when we give it meaning, words are weapons when we decide it is. We care about action and the character of the the person. Today whites, blacks and coolureds all get along with every race in our country besides the odd few old people who are racist. Quick question are you from South Africa, that makes you feel offended by word coloured? Cause you don't hear about coloureds getting offended by the term coloured
The khoi San are black and African with rough hair, everyone thinks Africans we're all dark skinned.. everyone wants disassociate khoi San from being black,khoi is a tribe just like Pedi, Zulu,tsonga etc...it's a tribe!
Exactly and the thing is people are so stereotypical about Africans we look different, have different hair textures doesn't make us any less African nor black even
I don't know why Africa is so divided. Its so sad even some "coloured" people forget they're African in the first place. And I quote SOME for the people who will disagree. Identity crisis sucks
Khoisan have entirely different DNA from black South Africans who are Bantu tribes such as Zulu and Xhosa who committed genocide against the Khoisan long ago.
Im a Cape Colored. Me and my father are dark skinned. My mother and sister look European. Its common here for family members to differ in shade. But not all us do drugs. Come on man jir!
People in the comments coming for coloured people like " they would be black in usa or anywhere else" but when some coloureds try to acknowledge that they are in fact part black, it's the same people that confront them when they do say that they are also from black roots saying that they are not black enough. Coloured people have more pressing matters, as can be seen in the video, to deal with than worrying about being identified as black. Nobody not black or white people know what it feels like to be a coloured and live in a community where you have to constantly worry for you and your family's safety.
@Nathz 213 "they were culturally wiped away by the black Bantu tribes whice is why it's easy to say thr Khoi are black" Is that why Europeans found a thriving Khoi culture in the Cape, because it was wiped away by Bantu Africans.
People who say coloureds are black are crazy. Coloured people will never be black nor identify with blackness. It's not a coincidence that they vote for the DA and speak the language of the oppressors. They are just not black and that makes me happy😎
It's sad to see a country so racialized and divided while it has the potential to be an economic giant and get all of their people live together and united.
The fact that the country is "racialized and divided" is abhorrent but it is by no means preventing the country from being an economic giant. The desperate economic situation this country is in has been caused by the ruling party's blatant corruption and theft.
Why whenever there is content on coloureds you get predominately non-coloured ppl talking about their misconceptions of Coloureds ???!!!! Why do people have an issue with Coloureds recognising themeselves as a separate Ethnicity - which they are. You more than welcome to call coloureds black - this does not offend us as you assume. We our own tribe of Black, if I might add. We have our own social norms, we unravelling the erasure of our heritage and rediscovering our identity apart from political disturbance. Our history differs from others & it aint about skin colour for us which is why dark skin coloureds are accepted in our communities! Accept who we are, we not here expecting anyone to change their identity or stopping anyone from celebrating who they are.
You misunderstand. The issue at play here is not whether coloureds have freedom of association or expression. Black people are simply stating an often too common observation at the nature of Coloured people's views towards them. Black people fear that the coloured is by default predisposed to the nature of the White man's worldview, and wouldn't hesitate to see the black man in chains if it meant securing a permanent seat at the white man's table. I am sure given our recent history, you would understand black people's skepticism ...
Racially most of these people are almost purely African descent and are black. Denial is an awful thing. Ethnicity is a different thing altogether. Zulus, Xhosa etc. are of different ethnic groups but they are all black just like some colored a are just black but belong to the colored ethnic group. To me SA colored are a mix of blacks who don’t belong to a tribe and biracial people.
I'm from Mozambique, Africa, this people don't consider themselves black. They are mullatos/coloured. I also agree that they are not black, because most of them are result of interracial relationships. Most of the people considered blacks in USA and Europe can't be considered as such in Africa.
Can we just let coloured people identify however they want, black, coloured or white? I think our history owes them that much. We as black people and or white people will never understand what they go through because we have never had to go through that identity crisis the way they do. As black people we should respect them if they identify as black and teach them about our culture and should they identify as coloured we should respect that too. And also being black is not a small party that we need to invite people to, stop claiming people to be black and trying to invite them to the black party. Be black, Be proud and Respect others in who they are. I am a proud black African woman, and I wouldn't have any other way, respect others who are also proud to be who they are.
@Raynard Williams-Martinez, and what country are you from? America? Sorry,. Martinez, when Columbus first came to America, the people there did not speak Spanish and were named Martinez, the people on the boat spoke Spanish and were named Martinez

I was a student teacher around Westbury last year and I do agree with some of the things being said here. The government has neglected this community, violent crimes and drug abuse are sky high and many live in poverty. There's something similar to "Afrophobia" around the area because most people there refuse to be called black. There were learners in my classroom that were darker than I am and when I referred to them as black or African they would jump out in protest and start listing their European lineage and discarding their African ancestors... Some tried to label me as coloured because of the texture of my hair. Anyways there is really a huge identify crisis the community is facing but they are a lovely bunch of people, I made some good friends there and I miss working that side.

No. Direct result of the "Divide and Rule Policy" and breaking the community into smaller segments to easily control them. The forced removsls. Race classification was the start, then they tried the tribalism one and starting "homelands" like Transkei,Ciskei, Kwazulu and the other "homelands" when people needed passports to travel from homelands to SA, to further divide the nation. Was a clever policy but now all people's are suffering from the aftermath of the previous government's racial ,tribal, homeland and group areas act policies.

With all due respect to South Africa...The same struggle that South Africa was and is still experiencing, is the same struggle that "light skin" Black people experience even in present day America. My father for example (r.i.p) was a Creole very fair skin born in Louisiana, but still a Black man, and my mother (r.i.p) was a very dark skin Black woman. They clearly created me but I understand both of their struggles. Colorism is a very toxic result from past colonialism. All we can do at this point is acknowledge the ignorance from past generations and fix it for the future.
This is crazy. My dad is originally from South Africa Cape Town, he moved to england with his parents and siblings when he was 2. They had to leave quickly as things were so terrible there. I'm very olived skinned with dark hair, I'm like my dad (my mum is white british) and i always wondered why my dad was dark but not black nor white looking. This has shocked me! But i have more of an insight to a bit of his background now.
If they have solid European ancestors then they have the right to identify as whites, if Elizabeth Warren can identify as Native American with 0.0012% genes then they certainly can do it with 20 or 50% of Europe's genes.

Like why are people in the comments so pressed about this Let us be Not every coloured person hates black people, coloured people come in all shades,some don't even worry about what race their ancestors were, accents vary on where you lived and grew up in. Quit generalising and stereotyping others
No, you're not the only person proudly coloured. Coloureds have always been proud & now they are letting others tell them that they are confused or have to be confused like we should pick a side. We don't have issues with colour, we don't need to fall in line with everyone else's way of thinking and FIGHT OVER stupid things like race.
Th reporter is just misleading... she is so wrong on many things. First of all, Coloureds became a race literally!!... they were born by black and white ppl in 100 years ago. During Apartheid they were separated from whites and blacks thus a new race was formed as a result. They have thier own accent and their neighborhoods r the worsr!!. They have no one to blame but them. Even during Aparthied coloured ppl never stood with black ppl, now they want to claim they r victims. Spear me i am a south african we all know how coloured ppl r even against black ppl. They don't like us most, they can't speak any native language what so ever.
@@sboneloxaba566 just because coloured people didn't stand with black people back then doesn't mean that they hated black people and you are just generalizing because a great majority of coloured stood with black people against apartheid but coloureds' involvement is excluded from history books so of course you would say that coloureds didn't stand with the black people.
To be honest, I don't care what race/culture people regard themselves as, we're all people. Unfortunately I've experienced racism from Coloured people. Some of them(not all) still have some sort of hatred towards black/white people, but then again racism is found in all racial groups and continues to be one of our biggest challenges in SA and around the world. In my understanding(I stand to be corrected), being Coloured is more of a culture to them, and not to be mistaken as just mixed-race. If you're mixed race it doesn't mean you're going to be referred to as Coloured in South Africa. It is not to be confused with the ethnic descriptor historically used in the US during the jim crow era. Or what we refer to as mixed-race everywhere else in the world. Apartheid was the worst thing to have ever happened to SA, and now we will always see color before we see a human-being. I would have to disagree on the issue of unemployment and coloured people being marginalized by the government. I believe all racial groups are facing similar challenges. Half of the countries population is living under the poverty line. over 50% of the youth is unemployed. What is actually happening in SA has nothing to do with racial discrimination towards a single racial group, but incompetency by our current government and having "white only political parties" and "black only political parties" as leading opposition, leaving us with no option but to continue voting for the same incompetent government, or not voting at all in most cases.
Someone should look even further than this. We as coloureds need more information about our heritage and this identity crisis needs to be acknowledged. I had to learn about my history/heritage as a coloured after school because it's not actually that looked into. Sadly we are not even acknowledged as African by our own government. We are african because we are, historically speaking direct descendants of the first people to be found in South Africa; the khoi khoi the san and the bushmen clan and so are some black people. So...
king cay True I do agree that the government is neglecting you guys and not helping the situation .Yes some Coloureds have a khoi ancestory but not all some have a Bantu ancestory too but then also Bantu people are mixed with khoi to so we are all just one family .And did you noticed that there's light and dark coloureds just like black people to in South Africa .It would be insane to find out that just like African Americans you guys have from 70% to 100% African blood flowing on you .Also remember that Africans have DNA from All over Africa mixed because our people travelled and mixed there is a reason why you are in this continent and why you have that complexion and curls god bless you brother
William Khumalo , I beg your fucking pardon. Black Americans have a culture. It maybe presented as just American but it's Black American! I don't appreciate the insult. I could throw many your way, but I won't! You gotta nerve!FOH!!
@@marjj_yesiamb703 True!...they want to be accepted so bad by the whites, but the whites don't want them:( blacks have no issues with them, if anything they should respect the black side of their family who raised them!
As a coloured person in South Africa, this is all true. Post apartheid reforms have seen only black people prosper and us completely left in the dark both economically and socially. We work hard and are ignored because of the so called "confusion of our race". Government overlook us, in favour of black people
I can only speak for myself and why I prefer identifying as coloured. Firstly I am African and proud have the DNA test to prove it but I cannot deny the fact that I also have European Ancestors who married African women and the fact that I have slave ancestors from Asia who survived the worst of humanity. So when I identify as Coloured I am claiming all of my ancestors Black, White and Asian. I cannot choose my ancestors but I can recognise all of them through how I identify and that is Coloured. The general problem pertaining to the identity of coloured people is that their own voices are drowned out by people who have no connection whatsoever to these communities and whom are perpetuating stereotypes. Example no. 1 of how coloured/mixed race people are treated in South Africa look at the comment section.
Okay Nathan as nice as you tried to put this, let's cut the bullshit. We both know that no marriage happened between "your black grandmother and white grandfather", as a matter of fact the coloured community could careless about even learning about the black woman that birthed them. Reality is black women were RAPED, first acknowledge that. Second of all not all coloured people have the same ancestral DNA, not all of you carry European heritage, not all you carry Asian heritage but undoubtedly ALL OF YOU have African ancestory yet you are very quick to acknowledge every other race that may run in your blood but African. Face it, it is not about acknowledging other parts of you, it's about denying the major part that is you which is black.
@@zoeyrox602 he is right the records show it that's why he has a white surname by legal marriage you can go check it out yourself sorry that your historical knowledge of the history of southern Africa is so limited
What I have noticed over the years is that the really dark coloureds who are Africans but for the language, are the ones who are more vocal in protests.
We coloureds are slaves who arived at Capetown Slave Lodge with the Dutch 1600. South Africa is not my country ; and the Dutch must exposed our history ; not all of us coloureds knows our history it was not teach on school ; it makes it difficult fore us coloureds. We need to focus on our history. We are different slave nations that was named coloureds 1600. South Africa is the country of the Bantus. Fore us coloureds to complain will not work ; we can keep our self busy with other things. There are a lot of tourists that visit the Capetown Slave and Cape Castle Of Good Hope ; but the money that is generated at these 2 historical buildings will not come to us coloureds ; we just have to except thats all.
I'm kenyan and that's true as hell💯what's coloured?? 😂😂Ohh Lord.... In Kenya we don't really care about skin colour.... I mean 100% we don't really mind...
that was the identity assigned to them by the apartheid government, was beneficial back then because they were made to believe they are better than Blacks
As Kenyans call (colorards or mixed race or biracial), point five or half cast.. I have heard it a lot growing up, so trust me we see a difference although we dont make a big deal out if it
So what? It's ot about skin tone but heritage, his parent wasn't assimilated into the Zulu or Scottish (white) community ,married a non Zulu and raised him amongst this coloured community so he can't claim being Zulu or white just like that. It's not about claiming black, black is just an approximate physical description, not an identity (Zulu, Scottish or Ghanaian are identities)
At least the mixed people are acknowledged as being their own group. In the US they try to lump anyone mixed with black in one group... no matter how mixed you look, you're supposed to say you are black.
I feel sorry for the coloured community in South Africa, they were promised the Oceania dream that never came to be, which is they'll exterminate the Bantu natives and they the mixed race offspring will replace them as the indigenous ppl of the land and they'll get indigenous rights and privileges in a predominantly all white society hence they all claim Khoisan heritage yet they're mostly Malaysian and British with some African ancestry. But that didn't come to be because the South African black natives were resilient against the genocide attempt and now here they are bitter as hell, confused and out of place
If what u said is true, then they are idiots...How can a colored person hate a black person, when he was made from the seed of a black person and white person
@Obano Joseph They hate us to the core because YT people have weponized them against us, told them they're better than us and that they're the indigenous people of South Africa since they descent from the Khoi and we are the Bantu invaders from Africa and they believed the lies entirely. Look up 'Gatvol Cape Town' and a video on the most dangerous gangsters of Cape Town where one colored gangster confessed that he used to randomly brutally attack any blk person he saw because it was engrained to him that we are the enemy
@@mongikazip u guys need to stand your ground, so that your land won't be lost to foreigners and half breed..

@Obano Joseph True we peeped the game hence we're branded all kinds of reputation ruining names on the media by European foreigners who own the narrative. We've been said to a rape capital, farm murderers, xenophobes, corrupt and any evil name on the book u could think of but Europeans still flock here they don't want to leave us or our country alone since we're so evil. We've peeped game that's it's an attempt to genocide us whilst dehumanizing us to the rest of the world so that no one takes up our course because we're deemed as evil and needing to be disposed of
"people of colour" is more our tradition, the way in which we live, our values in what we relate to, our accent etc. In SA we definitely not black or white. This is our perception, its more a culture. We have Black, White, Malay,European and much more in us.
That's what I'm beginning to understand also. It's a culture. I'm a Cape coloured, born in SA but grew up in Australia so I don't know much about my history, culture or country (my parents never really bothered to teach me). It's so hard to explain sometimes to people when they ask me why I'm not dark, or why I don't look how they expect an "African" would - or even why if i'm "mixed" that either of my parents aren't just one race. It's so complicated, but I want to learn so much more about our people. Hopefully when the time comes for me to go back and visit again, I can learn more about things from my family and from places in SA.
Common sense tells you that colored people benefited during apartheid, but want proximity to Blackness when it benefits them now. The best thing to do is to define themselves and advocate for their unique interests.
I am a Cape Coloured South African, from Cape Town. My mother was White (Afrikaner & British) & my father was Coloured (Zulu, Indian & Portuguese). My parents' relationship was illegal during Apartheid & they needed to keep it secret. I was very light skinned as a child so I passed for White. My complexion has changed as I got older. I embrace the term Coloured & I own it. It's really sad to see so many people in my birth country still stigmatised. We are all South Africans no matter what our ethnicity 🇿🇦

'Coloured' is a colonial construct, but it's more of a language issue in South Africa than what a person looks like. To be considered 'black' by the majority population, it's assumed you belong to an indigenous ethnic group and culture (for example, Zulu, Xhosa, etc.) and speak an African language. Most 'Coloured' people speak only Afrikaans and/or English and obviously don't practise African tribal customs. Also, under apartheid, black people had to carry pass books, whereas coloureds did not. So even though coloureds suffered discrimination, the government put a wedge between them and the black majority by allowing 'Coloureds' a bit more 'privilege'. The old divide and rule tactic. And what we see are the consequences. Aluta continua!
Well put💯
Nothing strange that the european colonizers accorded a honorary white status to these "biracial black people" this a practice they have carried out everywhere they went. Notice how great attention is given to the "biracial" Bob Marley of the WAILERS while his darker skin counterparts Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer are ignored.
Yes this is exactly the issue. Coloured people don't know what they are and this is exactly by design with the deliberate segregation between black and mixed by placing them a bit of above being black on the social hierarchy and speak Afrikaans or English. This creates obvious tensions between the black and coloured communities and creates a class of people that wants to be anything but black and perceived by the black community as such.
It is of opinion that the Coloured people had it easier, not fact. How did coloured people have it easier?
@@chialuchia1745 'Coloureds' only had it 'easier' because they didn't have to carry official documents granting them 'permission' to be in an urban area (known as the pass system). Police used to arrest hundreds of black people daily in the cities if they couldn't show the right documentation. They would then put them on busses 'back' to their rural so-called 'Homelands' - even if they'd been born in the city. Black families were broken up because of these inhuman laws. In short, coloured people were not subject to these particular apartheid laws - even though they were restricted and discriminated against.
I have personally felt the most racial prejudice from "coloureds" than from any other race in SA. They are the only people that have made me feel like inferior and not worthy of being human because I'm black. The only time I was called a "k@f#" was by a coloured person. Those who don't relate only feel that way because they don't want to, and yet they want to be called black only that one time that it benefits them. The problems they talk about in this documentary are everywhere in SA
As a whole so they get treated better or worse than black people in SA
This is the same problem in America. People want to be Black only when it benefits them. You wasn't Black before don't be Black now

The coloured community wants nothing to do with blacks, to such an extent that they actually embraced how the coloured community was classified by the apartheid government. Since whites were the minority, they decided to elevate Indians and Coloureds in order to get some form of support. Till this day you still find coloureds that use the slur work that was used by the whites against black South Africans. They were told they were better than blacks and it gave them a few privilages, I would understand that they would have accepted such for survival but the fact that they still hold the same views imposed on them by the Apartheid government is baffling.
That's what I HATE about them. They want the benefits of being black but don't want to be black. Black people are accepting, if they collectively shun you, they usually have a good reason to do so.

@Doven Ro Galus Conflicts existed not because of identity from color, but being identified as the "enemy" or "foreign" tribe (family) trying to take land because they were expanding as the human race.
Same thing in ancient Europe, ancient Asia and the America's. But that was "normal" ancient behaviour until these cultures began to unify themselves through culture, language, marriage, etc. Japan being the *best* example of unification.
Colorism and it's practice did not happen until the trans Atlantic slave trade, which saw a greater ad mixture in Africans and intensified as the generations became lighter.
Africans of different shades were treated differently, some reaping the best benefits of "passing"; Or being treated accordinly within the context of their varying degree of lightness, by the ruling class. That monster took on a life of it's own in the black community and has been passed down for 100+ years now.
"Redbone", "High yellow"; "Lite, bright", etc.; ALL modern forms of how mixed blacks are perceived, by blacks (in America). Not sure if this slang is used overseas, although people overseas do have their slang terms for people of African descent.
But still the same burden of being from a mixed heritage, resembling what the natives hate because of what "apartheid" aka segregation has afforded them, in their own homeland.
Haha no this is all black Africans doing. Whites haven't been in power for years
@Doven Ro Galus these people have the iq of a 3rd through 6th grader and as such they blame their own faults on someone else. Haiti had ruled itself for 200 years and they are the lowest iq in the western hemisphere but they will blame all their problems on anyone but themselves. This is not funny it is scary because it gives us a glimpse of the future.
@Jack John they need meaningful education and need farming technology and need to cancel debt from world bankers and nationalize their currency
@Doven Ro Galus do you live there? I'm surprised they are so racialzed given they were suppose to be a rainbow nation. I would have hoped a leader could focus them on social, human, economic, and other development instead of Malema and the media promoting racial and ethnic cleansing. The violence I've seen is appalling so the hatred they display comes from somewhere. They are still practicing apsrtheid i hear but the tables have turmed and the black rulers ate intent on pay back. Are they capable of living at a first world level? Unlikely. Societies with population IQs under 90 struggle everywhere.
I have many issues with this documentary. It seems to have lots of holes. But what I'd like to focus on is by first saying any platform that gives *SOUTH AFRICANS* a voice is appreciated. My concern is that the issues raised were national issues not race issues. She says unemployment in black communities is far higher than in coloured communities yet still insinuates it's because the government is marginalizing coloured? How if black communities have a higher unemployment rate? Crime, drugs, prostitution happens in poor black communities too. Black communities have also taken things in their own hands and protested and tried to get rid of drug dealers.
Such documentaries such as this one from BBC news come and try divide the nation by imposing that the government is a racist one instead of a failing one. No our government has failed *SOUTH Africans* in westberry, in Alexandria blacks coloured Indians whites not only a race.

Let me add - South Africans should be proud of themselves for being honest about their racial categories! In other mixed countries they pretend that there are no divisions. In most multiracial countries with a large black population (and even in 'black' countries) everyone discriminates against the darker skinned or African looking black people. These other countries say that they do not racially discriminate and are not racist but they are! Two examples: Brazil and Jamaica! Darker skinned black people are marginalised and excluded because of their looks. The people who discriminate against them are white, coloured and black!!! Not just white people. The beautiful young black winner of Brazil's Carnival Queen competition was later told to step down by the organisers and give up her crown a few years ago because a lot of people complained that as a black girl, she was not worthy. She was not considered beautiful enough and she received a lot of abuse from white, black and coloured people. In modern times! In Jamaica it is difficult to get a smart job if you are dark skinned. A growing number of men and women have started bleaching their skin.
This type of discrimination happens all over the Caribbean, South and Central America, North America and in Caribbean communities in Europe! They don't deal with it, they just sweep it under the carpet and pretend there is no differentiation or division. It's much more open and honest in South Africa.
Yes, I read about that girl in Brazil. I was really shocked that people could actually do that in this age and time. Brazil is such a racist country not matter how much they try to portray as a racial democracy.
Do not talk about my country, in jamaica you can get whatever job if you are qualified and fyi whites makes up less than 1 percent of the population. I won't say my country is perfect but being black is a non factor when it comes on to getting a job. Jamaica has problems with discriminating against others who live in specific violent areas and also issue with classism.
Colourism was a big problem in Jamaica in the past and from what I commonly hear and see, it still is. It gives me hope to know that things have changed?/are changing? now in Jamaica.

@@sueme55 I agree with what you are saying however us coloured people are proud to be coloured, when appriatet happened we suffered just as much as the black people because we weren't white, yet that name coloured doesn't enslave us anymore. We say that name with deep pride we don't complain about what people call us because coloured is just a word. Whites, black, coloureds who cares words only have meaning when we give it meaning, words are weapons when we decide it is. We care about action and the character of the the person. Today whites, blacks and coolureds all get along with every race in our country besides the odd few old people who are racist. Quick question are you from South Africa, that makes you feel offended by word coloured? Cause you don't hear about coloureds getting offended by the term coloured

The khoi San are black and African with rough hair, everyone thinks Africans we're all dark skinned.. everyone wants disassociate khoi San from being black,khoi is a tribe just like Pedi, Zulu,tsonga etc...it's a tribe!
Been saying but people won't agree
It's true!!!!!
Exactly and the thing is people are so stereotypical about Africans we look different, have different hair textures doesn't make us any less African nor black even
I don't know why Africa is so divided. Its so sad even some "coloured" people forget they're African in the first place. And I quote SOME for the people who will disagree. Identity crisis sucks
Khoisan have entirely different DNA from black South Africans who are Bantu tribes such as Zulu and Xhosa who committed genocide against the Khoisan long ago.

People in the comments coming for coloured people like " they would be black in usa or anywhere else" but when some coloureds try to acknowledge that they are in fact part black, it's the same people that confront them when they do say that they are also from black roots saying that they are not black enough.
Coloured people have more pressing matters, as can be seen in the video, to deal with than worrying about being identified as black. Nobody not black or white people know what it feels like to be a coloured and live in a community where you have to constantly worry for you and your family's safety.
I don't want to be known as a coloured tbh, it's sounds stupid. And I don't want to be called black either , I don't know wtf I am
We are all black.
@ThirdeyeStrike black people are treated better tho
@Nathz 213 "they were culturally wiped away by the black Bantu tribes whice is why it's easy to say thr Khoi are black"
Is that why Europeans found a thriving Khoi culture in the Cape, because it was wiped away by Bantu Africans.
People who say coloureds are black are crazy. Coloured people will never be black nor identify with blackness. It's not a coincidence that they vote for the DA and speak the language of the oppressors. They are just not black and that makes me happy😎
Seems like most of these comments want to tell coloured people who they are and should be.

The fact that the country is "racialized and divided" is abhorrent but it is by no means preventing the country from being an economic giant. The desperate economic situation this country is in has been caused by the ruling party's blatant corruption and theft.

Why whenever there is content on coloureds you get predominately non-coloured ppl talking about their misconceptions of Coloureds ???!!!! Why do people have an issue with Coloureds recognising themeselves as a separate Ethnicity - which they are. You more than welcome to call coloureds black - this does not offend us as you assume. We our own tribe of Black, if I might add. We have our own social norms, we unravelling the erasure of our heritage and rediscovering our identity apart from political disturbance. Our history differs from others & it aint about skin colour for us which is why dark skin coloureds are accepted in our communities! Accept who we are, we not here expecting anyone to change their identity or stopping anyone from celebrating who they are.
You misunderstand. The issue at play here is not whether coloureds have freedom of association or expression. Black people are simply stating an often too common observation at the nature of Coloured people's views towards them. Black people fear that the coloured is by default predisposed to the nature of the White man's worldview, and wouldn't hesitate to see the black man in chains if it meant securing a permanent seat at the white man's table. I am sure given our recent history, you would understand black people's skepticism ...
THe Cape Malay are not a mix of any African tribe.
Racially most of these people are almost purely African descent and are black. Denial is an awful thing. Ethnicity is a different thing altogether. Zulus, Xhosa etc. are of different ethnic groups but they are all black just like some colored a are just black but belong to the colored ethnic group. To me SA colored are a mix of blacks who don’t belong to a tribe and biracial people.

I'm from Mozambique, Africa, this people don't consider themselves black. They are mullatos/coloured. I also agree that they are not black, because most of them are result of interracial relationships. Most of the people considered blacks in USA and Europe can't be considered as such in Africa.

Man discovers that not every place on Earth has the racial dynamics of America:
Can we just let coloured people identify however they want, black, coloured or white? I think our history owes them that much. We as black people and or white people will never understand what they go through because we have never had to go through that identity crisis the way they do. As black people we should respect them if they identify as black and teach them about our culture and should they identify as coloured we should respect that too. And also being black is not a small party that we need to invite people to, stop claiming people to be black and trying to invite them to the black party. Be black, Be proud and Respect others in who they are. I am a proud black African woman, and I wouldn't have any other way, respect others who are also proud to be who they are.
Can we tell black people to stop crying to live in white countries?

I was a student teacher around Westbury last year and I do agree with some of the things being said here. The government has neglected this community, violent crimes and drug abuse are sky high and many live in poverty. There's something similar to "Afrophobia" around the area because most people there refuse to be called black. There were learners in my classroom that were darker than I am and when I referred to them as black or African they would jump out in protest and start listing their European lineage and discarding their African ancestors... Some tried to label me as coloured because of the texture of my hair. Anyways there is really a huge identify crisis the community is facing but they are a lovely bunch of people, I made some good friends there and I miss working that side.

light skin people in America need our own colured community
To be honest, I don't care what race/culture people regard themselves as, we're all people. Unfortunately I've experienced racism from Coloured people. Some of them(not all) still have some sort of hatred towards black/white people, but then again racism is found in all racial groups and continues to be one of our biggest challenges in SA and around the world. In my understanding(I stand to be corrected), being Coloured is more of a culture to them, and not to be mistaken as just mixed-race. If you're mixed race it doesn't mean you're going to be referred to as Coloured in South Africa. It is not to be confused with the ethnic descriptor historically used in the US during the jim crow era. Or what we refer to as mixed-race everywhere else in the world. Apartheid was the worst thing to have ever happened to SA, and now we will always see color before we see a human-being.
I would have to disagree on the issue of unemployment and coloured people being marginalized by the government. I believe all racial groups are facing similar challenges. Half of the countries population is living under the poverty line. over 50% of the youth is unemployed. What is actually happening in SA has nothing to do with racial discrimination towards a single racial group, but incompetency by our current government and having "white only political parties" and "black only political parties" as leading opposition, leaving us with no option but to continue voting for the same incompetent government, or not voting at all in most cases.
How many Arab country has the USA Bomb about 5 country .
Someone should look even further than this. We as coloureds need more information about our heritage and this identity crisis needs to be acknowledged. I had to learn about my history/heritage as a coloured after school because it's not actually that looked into. Sadly we are not even acknowledged as African by our own government. We are african because we are, historically speaking direct descendants of the first people to be found in South Africa; the khoi khoi the san and the bushmen clan and so are some black people. So...
king cay True I do agree that the government is neglecting you guys and not helping the situation .Yes some Coloureds have a khoi ancestory but not all some have a Bantu ancestory too but then also Bantu people are mixed with khoi to so we are all just one family .And did you noticed that there's light and dark coloureds just like black people to in South Africa .It would be insane to find out that just like African Americans you guys have from 70% to 100% African blood flowing on you .Also remember that Africans have DNA from All over Africa mixed because our people travelled and mixed there is a reason why you are in this continent and why you have that complexion and curls god bless you brother
Can't you idiots do a DNA test
How many times should we tell u that u are lost u don't have culture u are not original u are lyk black Americans
William Khumalo , I beg your fucking pardon. Black Americans have a culture. It maybe presented as just American but it's Black American! I don't appreciate the insult. I could throw many your way, but I won't! You gotta nerve!FOH!!

True!...they want to be accepted so bad by the whites, but the whites don't want them:( blacks have no issues with them, if anything they should respect the black side of their family who raised them!
As a coloured person in South Africa, this is all true. Post apartheid reforms have seen only black people prosper and us completely left in the dark both economically and socially. We work hard and are ignored because of the so called "confusion of our race". Government overlook us, in favour of black people
Trust me their is no confusion as to what you are

Most of the coloured are not related to khoisans at all...
I can only speak for myself and why I prefer identifying as coloured. Firstly I am African and proud have the DNA test to prove it but I cannot deny the fact that I also have European Ancestors who married African women and the fact that I have slave ancestors from Asia who survived the worst of humanity. So when I identify as Coloured I am claiming all of my ancestors Black, White and Asian. I cannot choose my ancestors but I can recognise all of them through how I identify and that is Coloured. The general problem pertaining to the identity of coloured people is that their own voices are drowned out by people who have no connection whatsoever to these communities and whom are perpetuating stereotypes. Example no. 1 of how coloured/mixed race people are treated in South Africa look at the comment section.
Okay Nathan as nice as you tried to put this, let's cut the bullshit. We both know that no marriage happened between "your black grandmother and white grandfather", as a matter of fact the coloured community could careless about even learning about the black woman that birthed them. Reality is black women were RAPED, first acknowledge that. Second of all not all coloured people have the same ancestral DNA, not all of you carry European heritage, not all you carry Asian heritage but undoubtedly ALL OF YOU have African ancestory yet you are very quick to acknowledge every other race that may run in your blood but African.
Face it, it is not about acknowledging other parts of you, it's about denying the major part that is you which is black.
@@zoeyrox602 he is right the records show it that's why he has a white surname by legal marriage you can go check it out yourself sorry that your historical knowledge of the history of southern Africa is so limited
You are Asian claim it. We Africans know our own. People like Trevor, Pearl Thusi, Dimphiwe Ngema etc
WES could've been forced marriage, those men never had good intentions.
If she went to Cape Town... the responses would’ve been completely different.
Too true. She should interview some Cape Town coloureds from the Flats
Just love yourself black white or mixed
but the world keep treating us like shit
No its “just love yourself coloured, white or black”🥰
What I have noticed over the years is that the really dark coloureds who are Africans but for the language, are the ones who are more vocal in protests.
Coloured people are beautiful people
The most beautiful inside and out ❤️
South Africans are so divided😂😂it’s sad😭
No for real SMH
Yeah neh
It's not sad it's better to be segregated than united we just are too different and share different views.
They marginalise themselves to be honest
We coloureds are slaves who arived at Capetown Slave Lodge with the Dutch 1600. South Africa is not my country ; and the Dutch must exposed our history ; not all of us coloureds knows our history it was not teach on school ; it makes it difficult fore us coloureds. We need to focus on our history. We are different slave nations that was named coloureds 1600. South Africa is the country of the Bantus. Fore us coloureds to complain will not work ; we can keep our self busy with other things. There are a lot of tourists that visit the Capetown Slave and Cape Castle Of Good Hope ; but the money that is generated at these 2 historical buildings will not come to us coloureds ; we just have to except thats all.
I'm kenyan and that's true as hell💯what's coloured?? 😂😂Ohh Lord.... In Kenya we don't really care about skin colour.... I mean 100% we don't really mind...
But you mind tribalism! Each country has it's own problem 🙄
that was the identity assigned to them by the apartheid government, was beneficial back then because they were made to believe they are better than Blacks
@@bongashushashusha3016 Exactly!
As Kenyans call (colorards or mixed race or biracial), point five or half cast.. I have heard it a lot growing up, so trust me we see a difference although we dont make a big deal out if it
Madagascar too 😂
His grandfather was Scottish? Please my mother is lighter than him, she’s from Ghana and I’m 100% African according to 23andme.
@Abdul Yousif no
you do kniw that not everyone has the same amount of melanin just because they have african blood in them right?
@Ashton Almond can you read?
So what? It's ot about skin tone but heritage, his parent wasn't assimilated into the Zulu or Scottish (white) community ,married a non Zulu and raised him amongst this coloured community so he can't claim being Zulu or white just like that. It's not about claiming black, black is just an approximate physical description, not an identity (Zulu, Scottish or Ghanaian are identities)
At least the mixed people are acknowledged as being their own group. In the US they try to lump anyone mixed with black in one group... no matter how mixed you look, you're supposed to say you are black.
Reminds me of pre-civil rights United States. South Africa is awfully backwards.
Whether your in the US or South Africa, people from the continent are struggling with colorism because of colonialization and slavery.
Colonization happened 350 years ago, so no colonizers is alive today
You mean tribalism??
I feel sorry for the coloured community in South Africa, they were promised the Oceania dream that never came to be, which is they'll exterminate the Bantu natives and they the mixed race offspring will replace them as the indigenous ppl of the land and they'll get indigenous rights and privileges in a predominantly all white society hence they all claim Khoisan heritage yet they're mostly Malaysian and British with some African ancestry. But that didn't come to be because the South African black natives were resilient against the genocide attempt and now here they are bitter as hell, confused and out of place
If what u said is true, then they are idiots...How can a colored person hate a black person, when he was made from the seed of a black person and white person
@Obano Joseph They hate us to the core because YT people have weponized them against us, told them they're better than us and that they're the indigenous people of South Africa since they descent from the Khoi and we are the Bantu invaders from Africa and they believed the lies entirely. Look up 'Gatvol Cape Town' and a video on the most dangerous gangsters of Cape Town where one colored gangster confessed that he used to randomly brutally attack any blk person he saw because it was engrained to him that we are the enemy
@@mongikazip u guys need to stand your ground, so that your land won't be lost to foreigners and half breed.. This has already happened in madagascar, eritrean and some few african countries..Where foreigners and half breed are the major population while blacks are the minority due to the fact that they were continually mixing with whites, asians and biracial to form colored or half breed same thing happened to brazil and some south america countries
@Obano Joseph True we peeped the game hence we're branded all kinds of reputation ruining names on the media by European foreigners who own the narrative. We've been said to a rape capital, farm murderers, xenophobes, corrupt and any evil name on the book u could think of but Europeans still flock here they don't want to leave us or our country alone since we're so evil. We've peeped game that's it's an attempt to genocide us whilst dehumanizing us to the rest of the world so that no one takes up our course because we're deemed as evil and needing to be disposed of
"people of colour" is more our tradition, the way in which we live, our values in what we relate to, our accent etc. In SA we definitely not black or white. This is our perception, its more a culture. We have Black, White, Malay,European and much more in us.
That's what I'm beginning to understand also. It's a culture. I'm a Cape coloured, born in SA but grew up in Australia so I don't know much about my history, culture or country (my parents never really bothered to teach me). It's so hard to explain sometimes to people when they ask me why I'm not dark, or why I don't look how they expect an "African" would - or even why if i'm "mixed" that either of my parents aren't just one race. It's so complicated, but I want to learn so much more about our people. Hopefully when the time comes for me to go back and visit again, I can learn more about things from my family and from places in SA.
So which continent do u belong to?

Common sense tells you that colored people benefited during apartheid, but want proximity to Blackness when it benefits them now. The best thing to do is to define themselves and advocate for their unique interests.

I am a Cape Coloured South African, from Cape Town. My mother was White (Afrikaner & British) & my father was Coloured (Zulu, Indian & Portuguese). My parents' relationship was illegal during Apartheid & they needed to keep it secret. I was very light skinned as a child so I passed for White. My complexion has changed as I got older. I embrace the term Coloured & I own it. It's really sad to see so many people in my birth country still stigmatised. We are all South Africans no matter what our ethnicity 🇿🇦
Very interesting discussion. Thank you.

“Christianity and Islam - both are expected to have more than twice as many adherents in 2050 as in 2010.”
- Pew research forum (2015)
The future of world religions: sub-Saharan Africa.
“But the Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the Christian population (170% vs. 115%), rising from 248 million to 670 million. “
-- Pew research forum (2015)
The future of world religions: sub-Saharan Africa.
Updated article from pew research (2017) states: “sub-Saharan Africa will surpass the Middle East-North Africa as the region with the second-largest Muslim population in the next 20 years.”
It’s also states: “Currently, around three-in-four people who identify with no religion, including atheists and agnostics, live in Asia and the Pacific. But that share is expected to decline to 66% by 2060 due to low fertility and an aging population.”
Sorry but the stats are really not helping you.

Unfortunately they are known to be very disrespectful to the majority which is Black. I wish them luck.

I'm a 'coloured' capetonian and I didn't realize how different coloured people in other parts of the country look compared to capetonians till now. I notice coloured people in cape town lean more towards the asian and european end of the spectrum whereas those in joburg etc lean more toward the black african end of the spectrum. Weird. Anybody else notice this?
There is a mix hear of Europe and South African Bantus ; that mix lean towards africans. We coloureds are mix Asian ; Middle East and Europen descend. We differ from this European and Bantu mix.
