Coloured communities particularly in the Western Cape feel side-lined by the very laws meant to bring equality and improve the lives of the previously disadvantage.
Let's stand together my coloured people and get what belongs to us in this country... We cannot continue in this way with us being side lined and being marginalized and there seems to be a rise in people bring racist towards us... I deal with racist black people every day and we don't deserve to be treating that way so let's stick together
We coloureds are slaves that arived at the Capetown Slave Lodge 1600; we come from Asia ; East Africa ; Middle East ; Madagascar ; Zanzibar ; Mauritius ; West Africa. The West African blacks had sold us to Dutch ; but know we have to face the South African blacks and the Dutch ; these people can murder us.
Ginger Cooks yes we were allowed but our voices weren’t heard so it was no help yes we got to choose but you think it was that easy with that so many challenges came like being told you’re something you’re not we got pushed around as a race
@@nomxhosapekani7966 we coloureds never had a say during apartheid. We only arived hear on slaveships at the Capetown Slave Lodge with the Afrikaner 1600 from West Africa ; East Africa ; Madagascar ; Mauritius ; Zanzibar ; Middle East and Asia. We coloureds are nothing doing with your country. After we recieve our freedom 1838 we also wanted to have jobs to receive a income no more working as slaves fore free with no income thats all.
At least one genetic study indicates that Cape Coloureds have an ancestry consisting of the following ethnic groups: Khoisan: (32-43%) Bantu-speaking Africans: (20-36%) Ethnic groups in Europe: (21-28%) Asian peoples: (9-11%)
Coloured people were never first people in South Africa it's just that the white met the Khoisan first since they entered throught the Cape. They went inland and they found there are other people
The issue is coloured don’t see themselves as blacks and don’t want to associate themselves with the blacks so what do you think the black in which you were before you became anything else which you don’t accept and don’t associate yourself with which is why the coloured communities have a lot of issues. Just look at the confusion with the youth/young in the coloured communities. If you don’t know where you come from, you’ll always be lost because there’s a void which you’ll always try to fill. The term coloured is a apartheid racial term to simply separate people blacks, in which there are different variations/skin tone/ colours and hair textures of what black is. Look at the Ethiopians or people from Madagascar. All in all you’re Black bruh. Whether you admit it or not, even if you’re mixed raced, you’re Black before you’re anything else. Anywhere near the world you’re Black. The sooner you accept & be proud of who you really are the more you’ll start to understand yourself. Look at Beyoncé, Barack even Van Diesel & the Rock. All proud & black but hey each to their own. Peace & Love
Because in this country unfortunately when you refer to black people automatically think bantu it would be nice if old people stop with color yes bantu's and khoisan aren't the same people group but were all African
Bro this is the most retarded thing I've ever read...the rock is not proudly black you uneducated fool/loser that should worry about he's own instead if others...Beyonce would not be Beyonce if she weren't mixed and the rock is proudly islander from new Zealand if I'm not mistaken...I challenge anybody to go in internet and challenge what thus fool is saying...stop trying to claim people and get a life,I am definitely not black🤢
us blacks toi toi too much with people of our own race simply coz one is zulu and other is shona or xhosa theres gonna be a conflict of some sort...so i don't see coloureds and black people mingling like that...and coloureds don't even wanna accept they're black side so
Yeah I am a Cameroonian and studied at a school in Cape Town and was surprised how my Coloured friends chose to keep to themselves a lot. I think the Apartheid mentality is still adversely affecting my Coloured friends and they must detox mentally. Love
I don't understand why we have two Educated coloured men speaking in ways that place us in a position (once again) of passivity. I cannot see what is so wrong with uniting around our culture and our heritage as coloured people. What is so wrong with finally standing together as a race in our Country and standing up to present coloured challenges to the people of South Africa? We see clear racial representation in our Government, how can we still call the bold step of the Coloured Peoples Empowerment Initiative foolishness? We cannot allow ourselves to continue to be told our challenges are everyone's challenges; Its truly not.

I find it very interesting that mixed race is complaining about not getting opportunities like really those guy's been receiving opportunities left and right since apartheid but they never catch anything like Indians do
That's the problem right there. But to the outside world apart from South Africa, you are Black my friend. Deny it all you want but that's where the problem is
@@ngalahansel6066 Then why did the ANC recently sign into law the employment equity act that exclude colourds and indians, along with white people, specifically from the job market? This is not coming from a white government, but a black government that are separating the races. Go look up the Amended Employment equity act that was signed into law by Ramaphosa just this year.
Eusebius MacKayser is an intellectual thinker. This other gentleman tries tooooo hard to be smart, and prim and proper. He is definitely not a realistic and logical thinker like Eusebius
THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES. DO THEY NOT QUALIFY FOR NSFAS? DO THEY NOT GET HOUSING? DO THEY NOT BENEFIT FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. WHAT DO THEY WANT....THIS IS SO TRICKY!
well my personal experience is that a black woman was chosen over me for a promotional course and she was in turn promoted ahead of me. despite the fact that i do all the work and although she is now my superior she still asks me how to do her job! and when i asked to be transfered to cape town to be close to my wife and kids i was told about "DEMOGRAPHICS" ie theres too many coloureds in cape town already.
YOU ASKED 3 QUESTIONS AND ALL THE ANSWERS ARE NO, NO AND NO!!!! IN YOUR MIND WE ARE A COLOUR WHILE ALL WE WANT IS EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE AND BE SOUTH AFRICANS AND BE TREATED ACCORDINGLY. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT
Coloureds aren't black! A discussion that needs to be had is about blacks having Abandoned their language and culture. And are imposing the white English language, which is foreign even to them, on the coloured people. Coloured history and culture is the Most diverse and rich than any other group in the country. History is again being distorted because almost all that is being taught is about the so-called struggle and Nelson Mandela. Blacks should show RESPECT for Afrikaans, which is the Only indigenous language in this country and for the massive contribution the other groups made to the development of the country. Otherwise we will Never succeed as a 'nation'

As coloureds should start standing up for ourselves enough is enough. Im coloured and im proud to be coloured.
Gill Bill u are lost
Maybe you can answer this. Coloureds were allowed a voice in Parliament already in 1980- so why did you not say this to the then National Party.
Ginger Cooks yes we were allowed but our voices weren’t heard so it was no help yes we got to choose but you think it was that easy with that so many challenges came like being told you’re something you’re not we got pushed around as a race
