Are Coloured People Racist

- A lot of media attention has been given to the antiblack opinions of certain coloured groups.This is an opportunity for us to reflect on the ways racism exists amongst coloured people, why it exists, why it doesn’t serve us and how we should challenge it.
Our communities are being neglected, we are left to kill each other off and the current socio-economic system robs so many black and coloured people of our basic human rights.
The hate that we perpetuate amongst ourselves only diverts from the greater forces of opression at play. We lash out at each other because it is easier for us to focus on our small differences than to recognise the violent intentions of a system that thrives off disparity.
Our similarities far outweigh our otherness, we are further destroying each other, giving corrupt politicians the fodder they need to turn us into political pawns without having to account for our needs.
And so a necessary step is to take off the blindfold, and be willing to engage in an uncomfortable conversation, that centres our own responsibility in challenging racial prejudices.
They all look like different races lumped together, some look almost white, some look black, some look Indian, some look SE Asian etc. South African government really messed up with their system of classification.
@alanbev preach 🙌🙌
White men classified people not this new democracy country.
lwazi Morris and the ANC kept it so.
Brian Abisdid what country are you from?
Dats y we called coloureds
When I was a young boy, I always wished to be white or coloured. I hated being black because of the hand history dealt us. Ive attempted to commit suicide on multiple occasions and have been prone to self-harming mechanisms that are born from self-hatred of being black. I always tbought it was a shame to be black, because everybody, including blacks, genuinely believed that being black or black African was shameful. Im in my 20s now and im shaking off the shackles of mental slavery and self-hate every minute of everyday. Im able to look into the mirror more often without flinching or feeling uneasy. Its not easy, everyday is a struggle, but its getting better. I dont punch myself in the face as hard as i can anymore to see a more disheveled face in the mirror that i can punch again. Its still hard to reconcile with the past, but i ultimately believe in the overall goodwill and civility of humanity. Peace and love to all my South African brothers and sisters: black, white, coloured, and indians. We really need to forgive ourselves and forgive each other for what we have done and continue to do. The good earth is rich and can provide for all of us.

What a beautiful comment , Love wins over hate
@@catherinesterling1685 you are a tief.
i hope my generation can be united with each other and not care so much about skin color more than the person. i dont want a repeat of the past but with us now the cycle must stop. awe ✊
I think that all races have racists people. These are important conversations to have.
Michelle Francis one race.human race
I almost agree with you.
What l can say is there's percentage of racism in every person, in white and Indians that percentage is higher. Blacks have the lowest percentage of racism in them
VERY TRUE
I agree with your first statement but not the second one. Having these 'conversations' just inflames tensions and is completely counter productive.
Yes all races can be racist including the least racist ones.
im a black guy from North West, Rustenburg. I started spending more of my time with coloureds since i was in Grade 11 in 2011 and i've never ever experienced racism from coloured people. Racism between BLACKS & COLOUREDS feels wierd when coming to think of it because most of the time when im in coloured community or with coloured people i don't really feel like im "BLACK" like im different from them...
thank you for your comment Tshegofatso, because this video is bananas.. I do not feel we are racist actually outta the many different races in this country we are the more accepting one ..we might joke around yes as you might know seeing that you have spent so much time within our communities but it does not come from a hateful place..and racism is hatred.
Cindalz Hudson agree it’s all jokes we aren’t racist people we get painted as racist people
You will find that more in the cape. I was brought up a decent human being. Little things I dismissed, but there was always that segregated feeling growing up in post apartheid. Now I moved to Pretoria and I met the most amazing black people... Indian and white people too.
There is a difference between Cape Coloureds and the mixed raced South Africans who were given the Coloured identity after 1952 (Apartheid's Group Areas Act).
Coloureds in the rest of the Provinces are related to Black South Africans.
Cape Coloureds descend from Malaysians, Indians, Angolan and Gabonese slaves (those with calender months surnames), Khwe (Hottentot/Khoi), San as well as Dutch and British men.
Come to Cape Town 🤣🤣🤣
there is also racism amongst coloured people, those with coarse v straight hair, dark coloured v light skinned coloured. seen it in Zimbabwe and South Africa
The same thing goes on with Northern Itaians versus Southern Itailians and Denmark Sweden and Norway so what else is new
Y'all scared to treat white people like y'all treat black people or black coloured
Very correct, my light skinned european Black heritage mother in law would make derogatory remarks about my course hair and brown skin. She no longer speaks to me because she is a fake catholic who does not practice forgiveness yet I have forgiven her multiple times for her indiscretions towards me and my family.
Same with black and white people
How can we be racist to our own race🤣
As a coloured, I'm trying to except every race, religion and gender. I'm especially focusing on black south Africans. I try my best to connect with them and be less prejudice towards black people in SA. God didn't create black, white, Asian, coloured, Hispanic or so, he created one race and that's the human race but because we all were Givin a label I just have to go with. Salute my fellow human beings
Do you believe that orange Africans exists. We have proof of the existence of orange Africans on this channel
You just need to recognize that you are one of us. You can never be white.
God didn’t create colored people either,the white man did
God doesn't exist
Also trying to accept us not good enough. Just don't be prejudice. Simple as that. Also you spelt accept wrong. Learn grammer
I am a Coloured and i identify myself as a black cause outside other countries there is no race called coloured you'll gonna be identified as black when you go outside South Africa, i know this is kinda rude to other people but this human race "Coloured" was an insult to identify people like that during apartheid so i accepted that there is no need to call myself a Coloured i don't even know what is that and i don't want to be called coloured anymore ,I prefer being identified as black that's all.❤
it was not an insult to identify people as coloured during apartheid. That was the classification.
Thats like saying if you call someone black that's an insult.
@@lightningRatPack What color are you ?
Why does other countries have to decide your race?
Facts!! It's like they try and separate themselves. It's definitely racist to do so.
You're absolutely right ❤.
I think racism is too complex to address in such a short video... You can't just scratch the surface, bc there's MUCH MORE to it, especially in SA.
But this videos are certainly a great place to start. Otherwise we wouldn't get anywhere with that mentality. People can multitask and do more than one thing at a time to do anti racist work.
I agree. There's a real danger to always hearing only superficial commentary. The essence of the problem lies deeper than the symptoms.
The biggest issue with racism right now is the left screaming racist all the time toward people who just has a different opinion. Before we can stop racism entirely we need to learn how to identify true racism. For example if I say I hate islam people will call me racist because it's practiced mostly by a certain race. That is dumb logic.
When I was in the Army crisscrossing South Africa, I realized just how racist and self adulated colored people, the irony was that some of them were darker and looked more African than me🙄. And as a Tswana/Sotho I know many people in my community who are more colored than a lot of people who classify as colored and are racist towards those who classify as African.
It's true ,I am a coloured ,I'm very interested in such stuff and I come across stuff on how, during apartheid,some
black people were classified as coloured eventhough you could clearly see they were black/khoisan and this was very irritating to the mixed race/coloured community
The coloureds that are presented here seems to be Cape Coloured people only. There are coloured people all over SA. KZN, Limpopo, etc. You will find that their experiences are different and also similar
I once had to break up with an amazing girl coz her dad hated the fact that she was dating a black guy. I still wanna klap the old man coz his own father is just as dark as I am. There is an element of self hate in the cape coloured community, that shit is sad as hell
Nah you sad as hell...and learn some respect you can't just go around clapping people's fathers your twerp
Yh man .In coloured community we discriminate each other's features .They are very confused people ,they think straight hair is better than African hair and green is eyes is better than brown eyes to them.they generally seem to look down on the blacks and praise the whites but some is reasonable as hooliganism has been going on there recently .
@@leof.n.abrahams8260very strange. I don't know why they have that mentality, thinking they're better than Africans.
Firstly, there is a universal misconception that being black is being African automatically which is not true. Some of the most dark-skinned tribes are in India, Australia and South America, their blackness does not make them African.
Secondly, there is the issue of self-identity, on a collective level and individually. For political reasons Coloured identity was defined by others for ulterior motives. For black blacks Coloureds were regarded as blacks to support their politics; for whites they were classified as mixed for reasons of divide and rule to ensure greater political control.
Still with self-identity, Coloureds, although of a mixed background, viewed themselves as Bruinmense and lately as Khoi Bruinmense on a collective scale. This should be respected as they have a right to self-identity and self-determination.
Thirdly, Coloureds got their real identity, Khoe/Khoi/Koi changed because of their phenotypes (appearances) by Dr. D.F. Malan a racist fanatic. he did the injustice by removing the indigenous element from Coloureds in terms of their true identity as the Afrikaner Koi, their language Afrikaans which got its name from the African Afrikaner clan from which Coloureds came, and their culture of which many elements were stolen by white Afrikaners. In the process, the nationalist white Afrikaners assumed for themselves indigenous status so as to get their grip on the land and material, natural and spiritual resources of the indigenous Khoesan of which Coloureds are part of. This is the identity we had and reclaim and how others must call us by. We are African Bruinmense.
The growing Coloured movement which is part of the greater Khoesan movement, began to become aware of all the injustices perpetrated against them of one of which is the demand of determining for and by themselves who they are - indigenous Afrikaner Khoe, Khoesan, Bruinmense, Africans. On the individual level, one has his right to be whoever you want to be as is noted in the video, but I must point out that these contrasting views of the identity of Coloureds among Coloureds themselves, is a construct of apartheid politics which brought about great divisions, confusion and different self-views in terms of who and what they are. The fact that there are coloured with a small letter c, the "other Coloureds" and Coloureds with a capital C, is proof of this mind control and brainwashing of the masses. This is coming to an end now as Coloureds will from now on be known as the indigenous Afrikaner Khoe from the aboriginal Khoesan.
Why do black South Africans have such low self-esteem this is Africa. you are the Majority use that to your advantage.
That's why I don't understand why they still let people ran over them the way they do when they make up probably 3/5 of South Africa
the truth is blacks wana look like others,othawise why should they care,they the majoity and have the power.
Aragti utter nonsense
Exactly! I'm an African(black) from the Zulu tribe, I've experienced racism from coloured peopIe. We're all people, but we're not the same. We are liberating our own people, starting by taking our land back.
Taking your land back what land , You not native south African
I'm happy this conversation exists. I wish issues affecting our social landscape should be given bigger platforms. I liked Simone Cornelius' explanations, but I just want to ask, what's the difference between racism and being anti-black?.
This is good content! One can write a book on this. As a black person, it's disappointing to hear that the k-word is used amongst some coloured people.
I hate that word... I don't even like to use it silently in my head
@@markcoetzee5458 what is the k-word?
I'm not surprised !

All races have racist people. We are not black we are coloured. If every other race can be proud to say they are black, they are white. Why should coloured people be ashamed of their race. Don’t gimme that we are one race the human race we are in SA. The reality is we are still categorized according to our race. When I fill out the employment equity form what do you think I fill out when asked race ? Black ? 😆 Asian ? I’m a coloured so I identify as coloured. I am proud of my identity.
That true they shouldn't give us that the human race kak

The English the colored South African speak is different from black South African.
How are they different🤔??
Raan Chol. Not really. It depends which area you live in. Coloured accents from Cape Town is different to that of KZN.
Even amongst the Zulu tribe there are some different dialects from some in Northern and Southern Zululand (KZN).
We are all black
@@lilonkemgidlana3360 lol you wish
@@lilonkemgidlana3360 hahahahahah keep dreaming,we are all Africans yes not black,there's black people in India and Asia not native to Africa,are they african ??? To be african means to be native to Afrika not to have black skin
I am so grateful for this video as I've been preaching that as Colored people we've long been afforded better opportunities that blacks and this have led to us wanting to associate ourselves with the fair skin people, not wanting to be labeled as blacks and discriminate against blacks and that is exactly what "GATVOL CAPETONIAN" is doing, being verbal about a shameful disgusting thing to say in 2018. I will also say this LOUDLY, black people are the most loving kind you can ever associate yourself with, our hate for who we truly are and what blacks have achieved and the whitewash we've been raised in have led us to think that black people hate us WHICH IS NOT. Crime in South Africa have no race, being rude have no gender and being racist is wanting the best for you and not being able to understand that those you look down on are capable of doing greater things in life.
We need to shift how we think of blacks and start realizing that the fight blacks put against white supremacy is for everyone in South Africa who is affected by inequalities, institutional racism and classist attitudes whites and colored have against them. I love black people, I had a pleasure to live, work and socialize with them and believe me when I say I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HAPPIER.
You can deny all you like but this is the truth and only the raw truth.
Thank you!! Having humanity that you got not all people from your community have the heart you got. I wish you can spread love to your children and grandchildren. I'm black and hearing this warms my heart.
Black people are racist towards coloureds too
@@angeliquejanuary6466 let's stop generalizing.
@@jadenphilander8799 I'm not generalizing anyone that's why I said too..im saying that because some black people believe they can't be because they are black.I didn't say all black people are racist that is generalizing🙄..it's just a fact that black people are racist too just like coloureds indians and whites are i know not everyone are racist in the different race and ethnic groups
@@angeliquejanuary6466 lies we are retaliating to how we have been treated since we were young by different races. Black people were taught to love other races since growing up but when we become adults we learn that we are not loved as we love
The coloured race owes its existence through the mixing of Khoi, San, Xhosa, Tswana, Angolan, Malaysian, Dutch, English, French, Portugese and German. Forgive me if left out any other contributors of this most genetically diverse group in the world.
While we are most certainly African, we are most certainly not black. Because in SA being black goes way deeper than skin pigmentation. Being black is having a generational culture that goes back a long time. Being black is belonging to a tribe, a clan. Being black comes with certain practices traditions and rituals that must be performed as part of the living experience of black people.
My coloured people does not have a generational culture in that sense. We are not tribesman or have clans. The generational culture and traditions we do have is just as mixed as our genetic makeup. So it appears as if we have none.
Proudly South African
Proudly Coloured

Lol catherine sterling you are sick
@Catherine Sterling. This ain't America.
I'm a very l8ght-skinned person in the USA considered "Black" here though my birth certificate says "colored" . What would I be considered in South Africa ?. Just asking.
This is laughed at in the states and Canada. Something to think about, divided you are weak and together you are stronger...the division was created to weaken.
I have worked in retail for years and worked with different types of races and customers. And I can say without a doubt that every single race is racist, not that bullshit of I am not a racist. I'm not saying hardcore racist but racist in a way where we have learned not to show it. If it makes sense...
Only white people can be racist as they invented the system.
It does make sense.
I look at it like this. In every single country on this world , there are good people, there are bad people and there are stupid people. Not everybody is racist. Racism is more prevalent among stupid and bad people. We all belong to the human race , each and everyone.
@@brigittea5110 Yes; Many bigots and narrow minded people everywhere.
Don't lie. White and coloureds have turned that hatred towards black people to culture. That they pass its to next generations. 🖕
i like how the one girl mentions white supremecy, when lots of coloured girls first choice is a fair skinned coloured guy or better yet a white guy, when growing up their mothers told them "hy moet mooi wit lyk"
This is not true in the black community maybe but not always the light woman be may be picked but the dark skin black man is the preferred one and picked first the lightskin black man is sometimes considered weak not as strong as the dark one
Lol that's not true..my parents never told me that

My late mom was mixed White and Black, regarded as coloured in the community, my late father was a very dark Indian, I was registered as Cape Malay, 🧐🙄🥴, my hair is very curly not straight, my skin tone is more yellowish than brown, not even light skinned.🤪, I was called all sorts of names.. yes racism is still alive, from all my different families of the different nations,.. I have them all.. I know who my my Heavenly Father is.❤️ that's what makes me to survive in this evil world.
Yes important conversations to be had but the question is to what end.how does it help to forever pointing out the problem when no one is actually doing nothing to solve it and yes as much as people believe this is a problem to be solved on bended knees ...seriously snap out of it and realise this begins in one's mind when you have managed to imprison yourself it does not matter how much acceptance you are given because you still behave like an imposter.This is power that resides within you a power that is unspoken that speaks for you when the others take a how to you in their hearts because they know who you are and less to do with the tone of your skin.I mean clearly it cannot be about black and coloured as coloured themselves still discriminate amongst each other in terms of language skin tone even hair texture...omg this is so deep
I’m a mixed race American with one black parent and one white parent. Are biracial ppl in South Africa also considered colored?
You would fall under the mixed raced category, not Coloured. Coloured is a race. Kids born from Black and Coloured parents are also technically mixed raced but I'm sure parents assign them as black upon birth. I know siblings who are mixed with black and white, their parents assigned them as black because their father is Zulu. So because of patriarchy rule, the kids took their father's race and culture. They can't be Coloured because they are not living the Coloured experience and culture.
I was born a privileged coloured from Zimbabwe but moved to the US at a very young age..my family was very racist though..it seemed to be almost in the blood..I was taught from a young that I was better than the black Africans that were our servants and drivers..but then you come to America and the blacks say your not black enough and the whites say your not white enough.i was accepted more by the whites and I naturally gravitated to them..we had more in common..all the racism I've faced has been from American black ppl..so one literally feels like an alien..I was such a confused boy even till this day at 33 it's very hard to let go of things taught to me as a child

The answer to this has many layers, it's never just a simple yes, or a simple no. But if I was pushed to answer with just a yes or no, it would be yes.
This is all so sad. My mom was mixed so we would be considered coloured. But on the other hand my son is really dark and my daughter has light skin. So my son is black but my daughter coloured? Thats messed up. I am from suriname living in the Nederlands. In both countries I am just considered a black/brown surinaamse.
That's how it would've worked in apartheid but not any more
Lightskin doesn't=coloured. You're all black
Thecworld shoukd accept coloureds/mixed are in the in the middle of 2 races and should not be be forced to choose, even though they face rejection from everywhere. Basically africans hv tribes and mixed cultures, whites also hav different tribes, german, scots, welsch etc etc so coloured/mixed belong to their tribe called Mixed Race, not colour of skin so why can t people worldwide accept that and respect eachother with our differences, we can learn from eachother. And about whites giving coloureds/mixed favouur and alittlr priviledge, was this not because they did that to cover the guilt they felt to apease their children they brought intonthis world, Just a thought???
Hi all, I am a little confused now because it is now concidered to be a racist statement when using the word coloured. Much like the word half cast which is not to be used now as it is deemed to be offensive so the words mixed race have to be used or mixed heritage.
There will be a point in the future where these terms will also be frowned upon and a new term will be invented! All the terms above have been used and 99% of the time they would have been used in a non racist way much the same as the word Black. Hope you get my point here guys.
My grandmother was called colored and she was black America my great grandfather was called colored also black American you all have the Same mindset My ancestors had in the early 20 th century doesn’t matter what they call you it matters how they treat you look like to me your treated as a black person
I would like for everyone on this channel to research the "Willy Lynch Method"' by a white man giving advice on how to divide black people by the color of their skin.
@Sun Kem i agree The infamous Willy Lynch letter is an excellent place to start.1 did some research in 2011 and came across that laetter pure evil & the moind of a demon that Willie Lynch had.The reason we all dont have an understanding is because of the evil of slavery.They have put us against each other so that we cant stand together as one.Watch the willy Lynch part 1 & 2 on you tube it will make you cry .Brainwashing
Well I think you should learn to value each and every individuals opinion regards to this but how do we learn to coexist? how do we learn to let go of the past because if the past always brings separation and distraction in the present time.How do we teach our children to embrace one other and learn from each other because I am afraid that as a species we won't evolve because of this thinking we have participated in ourselves.We have caused this, we have made Hendrik Verwoerd one of the greatest politic sociologist of our time an ignorant man that died 6 September 1966.Anyone you always have a choice racist or not I am open to learn from you#

Coloured people face structural racism. I found this quite striking. I'm a fair skinned Coloured which comes with its own set of complexities. I've had to reintegrate into student life and Campus life this year as a senior student on a predominantly white tertiary institution and the institutionalised RACISM is highly problematic, still so pervasive aaaanddd oh so DANGEROUS and needs urgent attention and redressing. I've experienced Coloured projected racism and have great empathy for that. I do however feel that there is a greater, more urgent need for Coloured emotional awareness so that we as Coloured people can identify our historical triggers of feeling disenfranchised and done wrong by in order for Coloured people, me included, to just know how to better channel our energies, efforts and emotions when we are TRIGGERED

Every race group in sa still harbour hate for each other! coloured racism, however, continues after coloureds leave the country to live and work abroad. I've been a british citizen for 17 years now and my racist light skinned in laws still refer to us as "coloured" because they naturally pass as poor white here in England. our connections (mates) who visit still degrade south africa and the native population by referring to them using the k word.

Gatvol Capetonian is a biased racist movement aimed to kick black African people out of the Western Cape even though we did nothing to them. I understand that there is little service delivery in 'Coloured' areas and they blame the ANC and black Africans yet Western Cape is run by Democratic Alliance the dominantly white liberal/Conservative, colour blind party so don't blame the ANC because they have no power in the Western Cape, the Democratic Alliance is to blame. The Democratic Alliance is using you guys as tools ⚙️ they said there is 0 delivery service problems yet there is too many in 'Coloured' and black African areas so it's all Democratic Alliance propaganda.
@@siderilegreshileyi57 I agree with you bit now u assuming DA controls National Police and National government...DA still have to ask ANC for police or army and they don't send enough...yes DA runs provincial level but Nationally it's ANC...
@@siderilegreshileyi57 ask yourself,how's life for coloureds im DA run western cape compared to coloureds in the other ANC run provinces...is it a coincidence Eastern Cape migrants are flocking to western cape for better opportunities? Why don't they go to other ANC run provinces ? Lol 😆🤣I'll leave u with that,DA is the lesser evil between the two...why u think DA has hold on the western cape lol unlike other provinces where coloureds just had to accept anc and their oppression and fovour of blacks over coloureds us coloureds know ANC intentions lol not to help us but to help other black people in kzn,eastern cape settle in western cape on khoi lands...and we will not allow thst hence today DA still run western cape...we can see our fellow coloureds in the rest of south africa being used by blacks and u want us to submit to bantu supremacy hahahaha ANC will not get out khoi lands for thr day ANC takes control they'll classify us natives as Bantu,assimilating us thereafter we can't claim land over rhe real bantus...we'll then be the slaves for black bantu tribe and it will not happen lol
I am from Colombia, so, watching this i think: are All the colombians colored?
Yes in south africa you would be identified as coloured .
Coloured means mixed race in SA or Southern Africa. Are colombians mixed race?
Colored means Mestizo.
1985 I was one of them stone throwers iup in Mitchell's plain AZ Berman highway across the bridge merry Dale leading to spine dale a lot my brothas fell I was a active src' trying to get the newbies standard sixes in the demos toi toi rallying in Rockland s etc in bonteheuwel I attented one my biggest gatherings I finished my matric long years ago do people rember young brothas like Ashley kriel? This current government did absolutely nothing for our people in our anc is taboo prohibited banned look at our people on the cape flats do they wanna live like this or are they just victims a handful of us got lucky and made and the rest or completely banished from society my heart is broken things were actually better under apartheid
When Coloured people in the ANC ran the Western Cape province; Coloured people joined in with Whites to overthrow Coloured leaders of the Western Cape because they believed White people will do a better job than their own kind.
As during Apartheid and now, Coloured people mentally shift the blame to Black people when it is White people running the provincial government.
No one is of one race/ethnicity. Proportioning is quite exhausting and annoying! It only serves to divide humanity and conquer 1 portion at a time!! Where's the Unity?
Being raised in a coloured community with most of my family members from my father's side being coloured, I can attest yes there is racism in the coloured community but most of my family members aren't racist to be honest i think maybe because we practice african tradition and religion. However recently my niece got fired from work because her manager didn't appreciate her being coloured and that shattered my heart because I know she is not racist. So coloureds institutionally do face racism the company I work for don't hire coloureds specifically light skinned coloureds because my late white CEO believed that coloureds are stupid and violent something we argued about.
I always find it interesting to see how different white nations decided to interact with and categorize the ppl they chose to oppress. Here in the USA, everyone who spoke would have been considered black due to the one drop rule. However, they would be light skinned, or biracial, or quadroon (in Louisiana way back when), etc. And as "light skinned" black ppl, they would be treated better due to their proximity to whiteness.
3:53 this girlie doesnt understand how tightly actual corporates are policed and how little policing goes towards state, if she did, it'd be extremely easy to see that the corruption is squarely with the black state.
"Both groups are suffering" well put my love, you are a legend.
During the apartheid we coloured were black after we won against apartheid we were no longer blacks ,.Once bitten twice shy
They say we're black , that is SECOND CLASS blacks .
Nothing good to say about their own people. Ons is arme mense met nike maar ons is racist.

This is crazy, we have really been messed up mentally. This argument makes no sense
So according to one guy, Africans had skirmishes and wars between them but they lived peacefully. Right.
What is the “k” word? I’m sorry if I don’t know I’m from the states and a Mexican so I only know about Hispanic/latino people and black people the south East don’t have to many Asians of people from the Middle East
Kaffir, a derogatory term that was used to refer to a black African
Similar to the N word
I'm confused, never met a coloured individual before., what are they racist for? I mean as for white people we know the drill, but as for you my fellow coloured people, I really don't get it.
Socialism, Communism and marxism all have one policy - namely divide and conquer. Ironic as these ideologies all want equal everything. The power in these ideologies is the ability to categorise and in so doing call attention to injustices. You can call these ideologies religion because that is how they operate. Of course one can categorise and sub categorise to infinity so there will always be 'injustices' to fight about - a great distraction game while those who perpetuate it rob you blind. Even the apartheid system was a form of socialism and although people of colour suffered - whites also suffered somewhat differently - living under a cloud of suspicion where anything one said could be taken literally and your chances of promotion or your child's future could be adversely affected. (many parents sent their children overseas). There is always a catch 22 situation. Many parents lost their children in the war against communism. Lives were lost on both sides of the fence. If one were to look at racism simply one can look at the UK - there everyone is equal before the law and like it or not there is a form of voluntary racism. People all take the train to work, work together very well and go home on the same train but if one cares to notice - at each stop you will note that each ethnic group gets off at there station and ho home to communities that are of their ethnic, cultural or racial class. This isn't intentional - it just simply is. The cliché birds of a feather flock together is oh so true. Naturally those belonging to a certain group will have a bias. It is the nature of man. Communism/socialism/marxism all take advantage of our differences however capitalism has one objective and the only colour it is interested in is the colour of money. In order to get money you must compete, study, dream, inventive, care for your children's futures and not have the state behave like a daddy telling you how to do it. Capitalism may not be perfect but it is definitely better than the alternative which expects you to listen and do as your told like a child. Lets be adults here.
The mere fact that the ANC has highlighted the issue of race in the new South Africa is the basis of racism. We are still an oppressed group which gives us the right to resist our oppressor, be he white or black.
I've never seen a coloured human in my life!
Good for u who acc cares
All humans are tribal... so if you are human, you will be racist...
And not one coloured person with an African surname or first name and yet you all talk about closing the racial divide with black Africans.🤔
Capetown 'Coloureds' ja. Black as a race is European ideolog. We are brown.
We've always been in the middle

It's normal that "Coloured" people are racist. They are descents from Portuguese, Dutch, Indians and some of them maybe British. They have half blood of native African. The Europe is a continent who has the most long history of racism, and India also has a long history of racism. Here we talking about Romans. And also Hindu.
If your father is pure white and your mother is pure black, are you considered coloured?
no, you’re just biracial then x coloured isn’t just a race, it’s an entire culture

Alot of Coloured people look Polynesian. Specifically Samoans and Tongans
I am a white person. Did I get a secret pre-birth visit asking me what my colour preference would be for the birth, no of course not, only God knows what you will be and how you will fulfill your role in His plan for your life. I just don't understand the whole issue about race, the real difference is about culture and has absolute nothing to do with the colour of our skins. If we were all born green we would still have differences, so just stop blaming everything on race. Let us rather respect that cultures differ and live with it!
I think this is were their a black denialism comes from bc black is K to them, and black doesn't mean Bantu and they are surrounded by Bantu so they think they have no black identity but black doesn't mean Bantu
What?
?
Im not rascist i dont really care...i just hate everyone....
But technically...from a more realistic point of view...
Black is not a colour...
Black people are brown...
White people are a pinky tan biege colour...
Red hair isnt red or ginger its orange...
And ginger is kinda biege with a creamy off white center...
So ugh...yeah...and i study art...
No but the Bantus are
It good ur ashamed of this
If you were called 'Hottentots' you wouldn't like it so STFU!
I am not racist and you can't call black South Africans 'Bantu' which is derogatory! If you were called 'Hottentots' you wouldn't like it at all.
Urgh why am I not surprised because dis al wat julle ken. Yerrr you guys literally discriminate against them because that's what the white man taught you. You just used bantu as an alternative for the k-word
Listen now once and for all everybody is racist everybody out there
We are marginalized by the black majority thats why we are angry. Black people have all the awareness of land sovereignty complete control of the fiscus but still do not grant coloured people their own determination.
How are you marginalized when 64% of the very same people you're talking about live in poverty. THE WHITE PEOPLE ARE STILL IN CONTROL OF THE ECONOMY. You're so crass that you don't even take your time to do your research on what's going on in this country. You're fighting the wrong people here. That's why it's important to read, even if it's just a pamphlet READ!!!!

Asking this an outsider after spending 9 weeks in Cape Town last year, but what examples of white supremacy are there in SA considering the ANC are running the country and BEE is major obstacle for whites to find employment? I appreciate that there is still substantial wealth owned by whites. I'm genuinely trying to understand so keep it civil please 😂
The fact that the only point you came up with was BEE, which is meant to redress the economic inequalities caused by Apartheid and colonization( 400 YEARS). Where Africans were excluded in participating in their economic development and growth in their own land, resources and wealth, STOLEN by the same perpetrators! The audacity to want us to move on into a new South Africa but are still benefiting off our stolen wealth and resources, and still have them. 😂you are a bold European product
Are coloured people racist?

Btw I am a coloured girl.
Racism can come from anyone
@@adamj1264A typical racist deflecting and being defensive
I can understand tribal, religious and class divisions although I don't live by any of it, however divisions in terms of skin colour alone is deep and complex.
It is true the name Coloured was imposed on you and you were not consulted.The name doesn't make any sense at all,it must be scraped from history is making you sub-human,yes I know we can not reconcile with the passed history.I think just like the name (K...)it should be punishable by law to address our fellow brothers and sisters like as Coloured.
1:50 this is bull, the khoi and san occupied this country for 100 000 years they were the first people ever. Black people are us.
The older people like my oupa was racist but I don't feel the same di k woord was n normale ding hule het ons altyd bang gemaak en gese da Kom oupagolie
Lol but yet we are looked down on by other races?
I do feel like black and coloured people do compete against eachother because black people feel like coloureds look at themselves as the better race than them and coloureds aren’t accepted in the black community because of what apartheid has installed in our parents heads and aswell as ours there is too much damage and division against our races that we don’t see the fact that both races are fighting against racial injustice or how our people are still living in poverty in South Africa example languages in school coloured people should be able to speak there original ethnic language which comes from the Khoisan our schools are supposed to teach us deeper racial history instead of American history .
@@unathimthebe9431 Black people also have the luxury of being racist towards Coloureds in all forms of media. Look at black Twitter and look at the history of black media personalities and politicians denigrating Coloureds. These often lead to policies which negatively impact our community while the black community gets a lot of financial input from government and charities. So No we are not racist but blacks are
@@fadielbenjamin159 I literally said nothing about coloured people being racist🌚?
Black people can be racist towards 'Coloureds' all races can be racist but the media is treating 'Coloureds' with respect look at DSTV shows like Kyknet, VIA, Flieknet if you don't have DSTV look at SABC 2 or SABC 3! In those channels they treat your people with respect. Fadiel Benjamin I think you are an Anti-black African racist who wants to unite with White racists to attack black South Africans. Keep being racist forever! Don't blame your problems on blacks blame it on White racists who are double crossing you guys!
@@fadielbenjamin159 you literally went off track learn to read with understanding you just wanted to be racist
SAME exact play the Europeans executed in the Americas with Light skinned 'Colored' , Creole , 'Mulattoes" and Black people.
What do you mean are Coloureds racist? 😒. Every single race group has racist people.
Yes some coloureds are racist,tho most are racist towards all races,coloureds are too straight forward and react to kak too quickly but all can't be defined in just a few words it's too broad of a subject with too many layers
How you're gonna be anti african or ati black yet do things that they do like music etc
Yes Coloureds are racists and they're forgetting that they had it better during apartheid. Even when we welcome them, they believe they are better. And they shouldn't lie and say they are descendents of the Nama, the Khoi and the Sans because we're part of those tribes. Basarwa are part of the black Batswana. So the Coloureds should check themselves.
Some coloureds are racist , most blacks are also racist .
@@Scar_7.62 all coloreds are racist. Some black people are slightly angry towards coloreds.
