I'm black and 16 and I have seen from a very young age that colored(mixed) people have completely been dismissed by our country ,and they are constantly being told to choose between them being white or black 😪 I am sorry for how we have treated you
@Mambo atleast u can see the oppression we face from ANC Government...coloured does not exist yet we are classified as coloureds by ANC Government...if not coloured then us Khoikhoi and Sonkwa are the most oppressed in the country,blacks are treated better than us
Cape Coloureds are a real race with religion and culture. Their 1st existence is only in SA and are now 3rd largest population . They shouldn't put themselves down because whites don't mix with them . They should be like Indians who live their lives as people of SA. People living in those grand places like Sea Point and Camps Bay are those who can afford buying expensive properties and paying those very expensive monthly bills regardless whether you're white or black or in-between. And government should do better service delivery for those who can't afford expensive areas and lifestyle .
@@chaponate6805 no, apartheid government classified you as Coloureds. Some Cape Town and Jo'burg Coloureds classified themselves as Khoisans, after hearing about the strong debate of land issue, between Khoisans and government, and Coloureds join in and said they are now Khoisans. Unless you guys give yourselves identity and how you must be classified, this confuses you, what about rest of the races and people around the world.
No son black people don't tel them to choose we r teling them what happened n y they being called coloured bt they stil choose to them selves coloured son i knw i grew up among them n ive dated some of them i hv a 26yr old daughter thnks❤
I am Coloured and I find this relatable.You walk into a restaurant near the city centre.You get looks.Mistaken for a gang member who wants to ruin the tourist industry.Then there will be racist people who will think being non white is huge privilege.Trust me it is not.People will get defensive and invalidate the issues the Coloured people face.Those who disagree with me don't waste your time . This is one of the reasons why Cape Town has such a high crime rate.Johannesburg's crime is more money driven.In Cape Town there is more anger between the poor and the rich.People still think the D a is doing excellent.Think again
Love this Channel. Great to learn about coloureds from their perspective.. even though I have family & friends (both 50/50) that are coloureds.. so guess they keeping me in the dark (grrr) Great Show.. I want to see more !! Coloureds need to take the Cape Back ;) Vote Cape Party & Rule Yourselves !!
This season has taken waaaay too long to arrive. Thank you so much for keeping this up. Ever thought of doing interviews on the black\coloured dynamic in the grater cape town region??
The struggle is real so let our voices be heard, with that being said the vusis helens & cyrils of this country better wake up cause our race is slowly reuniting & we're gonna claim what's rightfully OURS.
Thanks for the production team and people behind this type of content. This is a typical conversation between my partner and myself, at which we are architects and exposed to all kinds of walks of life and there's a CLEAR division of economic status, racial /ethinic groups and social environments. We would love to put our perspective of working 'for' clients owning the houses in the CBD Areas. As such - in stellenbosh areas , this division of culture is soooo much worst. Having experience multiple racial offenses first hand. We need to expose 'the elephant in the room'
My boyfriend grew up on the West Coast and it is a historical Coloured fishing area. These days rich whites are moving in and slowly displacing the people, so it does feel as though they are infiltrating every space in S.A.
I'm from the West coast as well, It is a historical fishing area(not just colored), Paternoster is a colored fishing village which i still remember there was almost no whites. These days there are a lot of guest houses and so on(rich ppl). The mistake you make is that nobody is displaced, Some old fishing houses have been bought, but the biggest area with new houses, are houses thats been built on únoccupied land. This has also allowed for numerous hotels and restaurants to open which provides locals with much needed employment. And in every restaurant its the local people working there. In all the west coast, this is the only place where this happened. Look after your BF, West coast people are gold, anyway most of us.
@ronald wiley do you mean like when you apply for a job and gets turned down because of your skin color. Or you should not even apply because of your skin color. I know alot of very successful colored's in the West Coast. What would you like white people to do? Let's not beat around the bush.
Grassy park without grass 😂😂 aaai jaai :/ 🌸🌸 thats so sad. I know How to change the lifestyle situation for all people here, we all BELONG, i just wish I had a proper team who knew how to make the next step to prosperity Happen!
For all these reasons, My family and I left Cape Town, the place of our birth to re-establish ourselves in Joburg, Gauteng as the whites in Cape Town are still very oppressive and treat Coloureds like dogs...
I feel sorry for the coloured people. They have not been fairly treated by the Apartheid government but they are definitely also not fairly treated by the ANC government. I also feel that Cape Town is a place where lots of very rich European tourist come and visit. So maybe people just see white people with money. But they are not white South Africans. This can create the false impressions that all white South African are rich. And that is simply not true.
Looking back I am trully thankfull for my parents moving us in 1999 to Australia even though I hated leaving at the time. I love the mother city & im proud to call myself South African but it's sad how us as coloureds are still fighting for equal rights. At what point do u just say fcukt, pack up your sht and leave. Its a bitter sweet feeling moving from the place u love, I long to come home back to CPT, but i dont see anything changing anytime soon. Nothing has really changed since i left almost 20 years ago.
I wish coloured people and black people could come together because you are both suffering under the thumb of white supremacy. Please unite and stop thinking one is better than the other. My heart aches for these people when they speak because I can understand their pain and experiences
Kinda difficult when our fellow black south africans sees coloured people as sellouts. Every black south african knows Hector Peterson but almost no one knows about Jonathan Claasen amongst the three killed in the south african trojan horse. History is written by the victor. I have black friends and coloured friends and we always talk and chill when we get together and they were shocked at how the coloured community was involved in the resistance against apartheid. I was even told that we coloured are labeled sellouts. Whites and black mingling and getting married today and I ask you, who is the sellout 🤔?
Baba Dook my husband is mixed race from South Africa. I’m Zimbabwean and I understand the frustration and resentment because a lot of “coloured” people subscribed to the notion that they were better during apartheid hence why so many never want to be mis identified or confused for black. I’ve been told from my husbands side of the family that “lucky my baby will look coloured because I’m also light in complexion” . My mum flew off the handle lol. Mind you both my husband and I grew up in Australia and his family have been here for 30+ years and still have that mentality. It wasn’t the first or last comment. Mind you in Australia as soon as you look remotely tan they just call you black. I’d like to understand the where the frustration comes from the other way round?
ronald wiley that really sucks, I had no idea. Thanks for explaining. Coloured people in Zim I’ve only had positive experiences and I wouldn’t even think twice about anything if I ran out of salt or just a random covo or night out. It literally wouldn’t even cross my mind that they’re coloured. When we Cape Town however, I quickly felt the tension and hostility in some areas that were predominantly coloured areas and I had to think about how I’d be received. Very stressful. Suddenly my husband and I were considered an interracial couple. So awkward.
@@babadook1593 that's so true! The amount of times I got comments that people didn't know coloured people were involved in the struggle against apartheid. Someone even told my mother she didn't suffer under apartheid because she's not black. My family was forcibly evicted from Cape Town when it was declared a whites only area and today the properties are Bnb owned by wealthy investors, my grandfather lost his job after organizing protests against his racist bosses, my father was involved in student protests on the Cape flats and his classmates like Robert Waterwitch was killed by a tampered bomb but our school textbooks only tell us about Soweto.
@@mikamiks2475 th-cam.com/video/ZdmaOnHT3F8/w-d-xo.html Coloureds are a dish and not black according to our ambassadors over seas. Blacks in South Africa speak with a devided heart.
i know what the chick is talking about when she says walking into a restaurant you feel like you dont belong and is not just by the whites , i actually feel less intimidated by them than the blacks..
I'm a brit, my lass and kids are coloured. They arent attention seeking thespian, gender activists or people with chips on their shoulders and funny enough get no problems anywhere between beacon valley and camps bay. If some coloureds disagree then fine, theres a reason there might be funny looks from now and then. It's a 6 a 7 and 8.

if apartheid was defined by the UN as a grave injustice to humanity then how can you call yourself a coloured? The Office for Race Classification has died, apartheid is over...stop referring to yourself as coloured. The Population Registration Act of 1950 required that each inhabitant of South Africa be classified and registered in accordance with his or her racial characteristics as part of the system of apartheid...apartheid is dead...the word coloured is dead. I am Jason.
The reason why they keep saying coloured, is because we still classified as coloured on every form we have to complete. Once I wrote human on a form and they "corrected" it on their own as coloured.
@@mikamiks2475 yeah it was in the news in Oct 2020 but the CV incident happened in 2017, just look it up, his name is Glen Snyman, he said he finds the official "coloured" identity classification degrading
@@filmsbynix that is absolutely horrible. So now people who don’t want to be stuck in that apartheid identity have no choice than to identify as that even if they don’t want to? Ridiculous!
So what do the poor coloureds say about rich coloureds? Why make this about race and white privilege? What about the black rich people? This channel is talking nonsense and spreading hate using illogical arguments that make no sense. Because you get poor and rich blacks, whites, coloureds etc. Watse nonsense begin julle? Leuns om nog moeilikheid te maak jy weet goed hard werk en die Here se seen sal jou ver bring maar nee ons wil van ander mense af vat wat ons nie voor gewerk het nie
It's obvious you just don't understand the narrative, it's not just about rich or poor, but how you are perceived as a coloured in certain spaces or rather certain areas, for example in certain work places you have present yourself as more "white" just to gain some recognition or even respect, if you go to a resturant or mall in certain areas, you always get looks, like as to say he doesn't belong here or why is he here? He can't afford it, that literally happened to me. Same goes with neighbourhoods, in white Suburbs service delivery is pretty good, in Coloured Suburbs it's always crappy, even though those suburbs are also middle class and the people are all tax payers, in Coloured townships it's even worse. Now one really has to experience these things, to really understand it. Now when it comes to the "rich" story, that's a whole other story.
@@dawoodwilliams3652 Honestly, I think you obsess too much over what people think of you and how they perceive you. It's a fact that no matter where you go, you will have people who like or dislike you, but this should not drive you to focus on it so obsessively. Just love life and pour out your energy on things of value. You can never Control what everyone thinks of you all the time.
