What the last speaker said about being “Coloured” and knowing when someone else is Coloured is so true. Im in Sydney & I can tell instantly just by looking at the person/people. I’ve noticed people do the same with me. It’s both fascinating & very comforting to know how in-tune & connected we are... something I definitely took for granted back home
It's in the language many of us speak (Afrikaans: look at its slave history), our food (from waterblommetjie bredie to gatsbys), our often appropriated/gentrified songs (like Jaloersbokkie, Loslappie, Skaroemba etc.) and our slang words like awe ("aweh") and masekind. The fact remains that we don't have "a" culture because we aren't a homogenous group.
i am mixed raced my father is a cape coloured and my mother is xhosa, I growing up I was so confused by how much coloured people displaced themselves so easily and how they never claimed to be African and suck up to white people I guess that's the preference so I decided to learn towards my maternal side of being xhosa because there I am sure of my identity and can be proud of being an African,I wish colored people would first be honest with themselves first because I have seen how much they run from being African and how they wish they were white. i love how my father and part of the colored family claim that they African and the do things that are African and khoi . i don't think coloreds are discriminated against I think they want to be treated as white and negate anything black in them
This is a constant debate i have had with my family and tll today we cannot pin point what is our culture which just shows how diverse we all are!Loving this series
the last point makes alot of sense , ever since i moved to Sandton alot of people that are not coloured ask me if im Jewish or what country I come from, but when i meet a coloured person they already know
I’m so proud to be coloured,we are rare human beings that you will not find anywhere in the world.We are a mixed breed with different depths and sides to us and that’s truly amazing if you ask me.
Coloured are beautiful, Look at those girls how beautiful they are without using any makeup, without using any expensive cloth, without them using any false hair, any plastic hair, any hair extension, without using any powder to make them beauty, without using any product to make them having brown chocolate colour because their colour already like chocolate, they don't have to go to the sun to make their color to be brownish because their color is already brownish like chocolate. I don't want people calling me black because I'm not black, I don't want people calling me white because I'm not white, I like too much my color as chocolate, whites go to the sun to have brownish colour blacks use products to have brownish color, more than half of the world population have brownish yellow skin, be proud of your colour.
Are you talking about those "Black" politicians like "light skinned" Nelson Mandela or President Zuma?? From an African American perspective the South African Coloureds are the most shameful people on the planet, I really do pitty their ignorance, as they are used as pawns by the White Supremacist South Africans, who also hate and disrespect them
I am coloured born in Cape Town but both my parents are from the northen cape absolutely love this Web series I never knew coloured people are mixed I just thought we coloured ( bruin mense)when I was in high school I Googled and saw we are a mixed race and I googled the orgin of my surname and it is a French surname but it changed to be more Afrikaans and I googled the surnames both from my parents side and it's all European surnames we dnt even have indigenous surnames of the khoisan people can you guys please discuss the different races we are mixed with and how each coloured are not mixed the same that would be so cool
My mum is coloured but we moved out of South Africa when I was young and I'm now living in Australia, so I don't know much about my heritage. But this channel is so beautiful, insightful and compelling... it makes my heart sing! Keen to visit SA one day. Obviously I don't know the struggle you are facing in daily life, but even from far away it seems like you are doing important work.
Coloureds (Afrikaans: Kleurlinge or Bruinmense, lit. 'Brown people') are a multiracial ethnic group native to Southern Africa who have ancestry from more than one of the various populations inhabiting the region, including Khoisan, Bantu, European, Austronesian, South Asian, or East Asian. Because of the combination of ethnicities, different families and individuals within a family may have a variety of different physical features.
HELLO coloured ppl exist outside south Africa please include coloured from other countries coz you will find we literally have the same ways! it's a southern african thing. our food our dancing coloured ppl everywhere have a big sense of community we have any excuse to have a drinks and get together...drag racing, battle of the dj, sundays, going fishing with ur uncles and cousins, spending weekends at ur friends houses and calling their parents ur aunties or uncles..I'm from zim but I know we all do that or when ur small you all go to ur aunties house for sleep over with all ur other cousins theres probably 12 of u..and our hair!!! coloured girls and our hair..sunday wash days crying in the bath, when ur older if ur hair is like mine putting curlers in and a swirl and dukie so it doesnt get dwinched.
Coloureds of have culture Many argue that Coloureds do not have culture. I must caution though that Coloureds have an overt and direct culture. The only difference is that it got methodically estranged from them. Let us look at some obvious elements of Coloured culture. Then the reader will agree that we don't need to look for nuances in order to find their culture. All peoples of the world have culture - their particular way of living and doing things. No racial group, even of mixed ancestry, is without culture. That is simply ignorant and stupid to say. Just because Coloureds do not strut naked breasts, does not mean they do not have a culture. Here is what constitutes culture which proves that Coloureds have their own unique culture. 1. All races have language. Most Coloureds speak Afrikaans, either Afrikaaps (in Western Cape) or Noordgrens-/Oranje Rivier Afrikaans. Namibian Coloureds (and Basters) speak a mixture of Oranje Rivier Afrikaans and Standard Afrikaans. The language Afrikaans belongs to Coloureds, but which whites stole from them as we all know by now as proven by academic research findings. Coloureds even have three sub-tribes, which are Cape Coloureds, Northern Coloureds (of whom Namibian Coloureds are part of) and Basters each of whom have their own dialect of Afrikaans! 2. All races have identity. Though theirs is “Coloured”, Coloureds’ real identity is Khoe/Khoi/Koi and Afrikaner which too have been methodically estranged from them as research shows. Coloureds are commonly referred to as Bruinmense. 3. All races have their particular music, song and musical genres. Coloureds like and make Langarm music, Koortjies and others. Remember the music made by the Kaapse Klopse? We know by now too that Sakie-sakie and Sokkie were systematically estranged from Coloureds too. 4. All races have dance and their particular dance genres. Coloureds have the Riel (in South Africa), Jazz (not the music genre), Langarm, Blues (not the music genre) and others. 5. All races have their own way of cooking and cookery. Think of how Coloured mothers prepare their food and food which is unique to Coloureds though others try their recipes. Even biltong, droëwors, soutvis, smoked fish and the like are part of Coloured culture but which whites methodically estranged from them. Coloureds are generally entertainment-loving people, with exquisite cuisine which is a mixture of Malay, Khoesan and Western cooking. They are great at making roosterbrood, home-made bread, asbrood, aspatat, potbrood, frummelpap, smoked snoek, curry offal, curry bunnies, vetkoek and gemmerbier which are some of their customs of their rich Khoesan traditions for centuries. Bontkos which is characterized by colourful and flavourful tasty foods and treats is part of special days such as on Sabbath on Sunday, Christmas, weddings and the like. 6. All races have religion. Coloureds mostly practice Christianity and Islam simply because they partly hail from those cultures too. 7. All races have their particular traditional customs and rites during ceremonies such as birth, baptism, come of age, weddings, death, festivals, etc. Think of how Coloureds do things during these events, the rituals which set them apart from others. They “drink pis” when a baby is born; “maak dak nat” when they move in a new apartment or home and so on. 8. All races have cultural attire. Coloured culture reflects a plethora of cultural gear ranging from island wear to traditional Khoi leather wear to western wear also because of historical cultural influences. 9. All races have history and did not fall from the skies. Coloureds have a very long and rich history since the ancient prehistoric Sangoan, forebears of the indigenous Khoesan of Southern Africa. 10. All races have historical heroes, social leaders, role models, public figures and celebrities. Think of their very own leadership starting with Saartjie Baartman and Oude Ram Afrikaner up to today. Thousands upon thousands both in Namibia and South Africa and elsewhere in Southern Africa. 11. All races are indigenous to a certain geographical area. Coloureds are endemic to and originate from Southern Africa and did not fall from the skies. Where else in the world are they found? 12. All races have cultural craft. Think of the many cultural items Coloured forefathers made but which have been methodically estranged from Coloureds and some of which they still make today such as velskoene, riempiestoele, bokvelmatte, driebeenpotte and much more. It goes without saying that potjie and braais are great widely favoured Coloured traditions too which others copy. 13. All races have an economic lifestyle. By trade Coloureds are builders, fishermen and subsistence stock farmers. They own small outlets and work in the service sector. 14. All races have subcultures. Coloureds were known for front teeth abstraction for reasons of fashion and gangster pressure. Coloureds who are affectionately referred to as the “Funky People”, love the bling, outdoors and social entertainment lifestyle. 15. All races adhere to one or another political code. Coloureds are generally communal people, meaning that they share with others when it is necessary to do so. God is at the centre of their cultural belief system, yet Coloureds are liberalist thinkers. Ons laat ons nie voorsê nie - net God het daai reg en by ouers is dit ‘n voorreg. 16. All races have their favourite social pastimes. Coloureds are particularly fond of rugby, cricket and athletics and to a lesser extent, soccer and netball. Their kids have a wide array of traditional play, games and rhymes. Coloureds have a rich tradition of legends, mythology and superstition like in any other culture. 17. All races have one or the other inherent moral code by which all behaviours are measured. The Coloured value system, norms, standards, ethics and morals are carried on from generation to generation by their elders and parents and are based on a religious and socially agreed on ethos. This ethos includes values of zusamensein, sharing, inclusion, tolerance, dignity and so on. Coloureds typically believe in the Biblical maxim, "spare the rod and spoil the child". As an indigenous Khoesan people, Coloureds of Southern Africa have been methodically, targetly, consistently and goal-directly stolen from, not just of their cultural identity and culture itself, but of their indigenous rights and status, land and natural resources, and spiritual resources and peace. It is clear from the seventeen points above that Coloureds have a place under the sun. They are a united cultural people with identity. They do not have to stand back for others. They should be proud of who they are. I am of them. B.B. Bobejé, Namibia
My so called coloured culture ( I prefer mixed race) was largely defined by the community I was raised in...the affluent areas produced a more refined Eurocentric mixed race culture whereas the sub economic areas produce a more black African culture
(Mixed Race) mean, 2 different race made a baby. Which mean the 'black' race and another race made baby in this case, what it mean is that the 'black' race is a race of it's own and not mixture.
The thing all dark skinned Coloureds would be black in the UK and USA, in the USA all dark skinned Coloureds would not only be placed under the black category, they would also be African American. The thing how many of them would call themselves Black or African American if they chose to settle there.
Absolutely. I am coloured. Born and bred in Zimbabwe. Now living in Cape Town. My family roots go back to South Africa but Cape Town coloured culture is very alien to me. I do not speak Afrikaans because it is not an official language in Zim. I am fair in complexion and sometimes get mistaken for being white. Does that mean I am not coloured because I do not fit into the stereotypical image of what a coloured person is? People have a very narrow perception and it is unfortunate because if you do not fit "the norm" you are seen as "trying to be white".
Im a white guy from cape town but I live in the Netherlands. And it's happened a few times in the past when being asked about south africa and it's culture that I mention the coloured community and tried to explain it to foreigners but the just don't understand and think Im racist because Im a white guy using the word "coloured". So they switch off and don't let me finish my speech about the gatspy
@@livingfaith9189 they Don't appreciate their African DNA and they have a difficult time accepting it. There is no color called coloured. And when I say black I mean African. Africans come in many tones of black and brown and some are albinos. That entire concept of coloured is pathetic and and racist . When the white man ruled he gave that ideology to them and it fucked their heads up. If a so called coloured just happened to look black they would be treated as a black African or negro. That term coloured only applied to the lightest biracial people .but they can believe what ever I'm just calling it for what it is. And I understand nobody wants to be at the bottom .I know why they label themselves so called coloured .

Colourd culture, since Colourd were instilled on a certain race group and before , oure speach ,the way other people groups whant'sto impose on us ,we make it sort of funny out of it and we the colourd 's where offthe most religious people in this country until others came in though it might not have been biblical at that times , the drunkenness were infiltration of the white setlers ,so were the jailling of us through the sistems put in place by the white regime Colourds was always a people of giving, looking after others and their own ,loving ,enjoying in hardship ore plenty, with all the greatest, se^ goed ( spreekwoorde , bynaame grappe en groot feeste vir almal , tot op wit en swart).
Absolutely correct, the term comes from centuries of brain washing by the Afrikaner on an oppressed folk who unwittingly clung on to the hope that they would one day be accepted into the Afrikaner fold, despite decades of humiliation and rejection under apartheid. I personally know of families that were split along racial lines with some family members having lived on the white side and enjoyed the fruits of apartheid whilst the darker cousin or brother was forced to live as a "coloured" by law and sadly a state sponsored life of oppression awaited such a person.
Yes we are not a race. We are group of people created by apartheid regime and classified as so-called coloureds. What did you expect. That's why we have no culture but rather a second class citizen racial believe that we protect so dearly.

Coloured culture is a mystery to me. We need coloured TV channels to show coloured life styles and empower coloured people
It's in the language many of us speak (Afrikaans: look at its slave history), our food (from waterblommetjie bredie to gatsbys), our often appropriated/gentrified songs (like Jaloersbokkie, Loslappie, Skaroemba etc.) and our slang words like awe ("aweh") and masekind.

Masekind comes from “ngwanaWaMme” which is a popular Tswana phrase that translates into Masekind.

I personally know of families that were split along racial lines with some family members having lived on the white side and enjoyed the fruits of apartheid whilst the darker cousin or brother was forced to live as a "coloured" by law and sadly a state sponsored life of oppression awaited such a person.
Yes we are not a race. We are group of people created by apartheid regime and classified as so-called coloureds. What did you expect. That's why we have no culture but rather a second class citizen racial believe that we protect so dearly.
