Great story. Thank you for giving me a new perspective on your side of the story. All white south Africans need to learn to listen, without defense. Just listen
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.
Gooi die noem naam coloured weg, jy is n Bruin mens ander is Swart en ander is weer wit. SA gaan oor kleur nou nog so hou jou wat jy is, jy is Bruin watse Coloured. Kom nou vinnig reg hoor.
The coloured people, my coloured people... today's culture will never understand why us coloured people love to tell stories.... it's not that we lie or fabricate untruths, growing up not too black and not too white gave us an individual outlook on life that no other culture in the world had been exposed to... we've seen it all, apartheid is a thing of the past... our youth will never ever know what my parents went through but life moves on... where's the new South Africa we were ALL promised?? Be humble and learn humility SA... I LOVE THE VIDEO BTW LOL
She had an acceptable skin colour my aunts and uncles called me Kafirtjie!!! Now they are even jealous that as a Kafirtjie I live in Europe and they are stuck in the Flats.
Racism in black communities are worse wtf are you talking about, matter of fact,this whole fucking country is racist ,no matter what their race, idiots singling out coloureds cause your parents were fucked up don't blame all of us fuckin sell out
Colonial is over. But for a people born of colonialism like The Coloureds, your ideas will always be unwelcome, because to erase colonialism is to erase coloured people
I'm a black guy, married to a coloured woman. Love my wife a lot. We stay in a predominantly so-called black area of Diepkloof extention, phase3 in Soweto. So some young kids can't differentiate between a coloured and a white person. At times I would overhear them talking saying "yoooh muhle lo mlungu" Which means " this white lady looks beautiful." 😂
My mom and dad had it tough - my mom is very fair and my dad darker skin so when commuting my dad and mom would have to sit apart from each other because of my mom being classified as white.
These European South Africans,especially the Afrikaners always get defensive about their trangressions because it makes them feel uncomfortable. Note I call the whites Europeans if they don't like it too bad.
I stand under correction but during the classification of race, the Apartheid government used the "pencil" test to distinguish coloureds from other races. So one was classified to a particular race according to this specific test. As 'coloureds' we are of different shades, tones, hair texture etc. The same regime classed us as 'coloureds' due to our history with colonialism. Under the Population Registration Act if you had passed the test you were classified as white and if the pencil or comb or whatever they used did not go through your hair you were either classed as black or coloured. And because of it, many families were destroyed because of this system. But I stand under correction.
Many of my family members during Apartheid despite being siblings were classified as coloured or white solely based on their appearance and still identify as such even after apartheid. My father told me stories how he was no longer allowed to see his aunts and cousins who were classified as white.

This type of story…….is TRUE amongst the Cape Coloured families …..SAD but TRUE…!!!

Wow. Thank you for telling your story. Truly proud who you are.
My uncle told me similar stories about his family. In my extended family the skin tones are there which is confusing to people
They still can't relate and they don't want to learn. People literally still call us kak (shit).
She had an acceptable skin colour my aunts and uncles called me Kafirtjie!!! Now they are even jealous that as a Kafirtjie I live in Europe and they are stuck in the Flats.
Ginger Cooks Gosh 🤯 the racism is real in the coloured community.
@@theonly6359 Sad but true
Ginger Cooks sorry for what you’ve gone through. I am glad you are out of that toxic environment.
@@theonly6359 You know what they say, you can choose your friends but not your family, but since both grandparents passed I am choosing them.

so sad. I know how it feels to be the descendants of colonial rules

We have more backbone then them......
Why was her aunt white? When her mom was coloured 🤔

Bernice Jacobs Gosh 😮
The Afrikaners should be ashamed of themselves, the way they treated the Coloureds, oh wait they have no shame, even now they're still unapologetic.
Even if you aren’t rated to us but you’re close to us you’re automatically our aunt
Colored never been too light to black. It's all in your imagination
