Coloureds are like the albany best of both loaf that the black and white wheat cross pollinated into existence, thing is if we should lose all technology and live out our generations were we are now, we would eventually turn the colour that best suites the amount of sun we see in a year, from black on the equator to white at the poles, like the bears. So black and white,and inbetween, isn't going anywhere, long term. Coloureds have it hard they where born into a forced divorced family, in that white and black may not mix, yet they had and so a "bastard" is born, the way the coloured dealt with these circumstances is beyond anything I would have imagined. They took from their father and their mother pieces of a puzzle, yes the board was empty when they started and each piece out of place pain essentially, however how they are putting the puzzle back together is inspiring. So coloureds got a bad rap from the groups in power, this is what all groups in power tend to say about poor minorities, a rich minority can still make up for their numbers with great amounts of money, but a poor community rising is easy to krysig. I think all the cultures that we have, have fruit to bare at the table we share as a nation, however a being born from a rebel people they are district, they have their own lessons to share, they have overcome what the white and black had not. And everyone still have fractures that need mending, realistically we have much work and need throughout, the poor need food and shelter for the body, and the rich need food and shelter for the soul, we are a hungry people inside and out, but we make plans and have the balls to manifest solutions. The coloured peoples have had to work and create, not just houses, food and money, but culture, belief, art, identity. If you drink a coloured like a cup of coffee you know it's a coloured you are drinking, you might like the taste or have other tastes but a unique thing is brewing, I see no need for assimilation of any of our cultures, to become a watered down monopoly money people is for the 1st world, here we are 3rd world but we ARE.
It's hopelessly incorrect to define coloureds as black . Some don't have any of the black Bantu/nguni DNA - lineage. They are more correctly defined as brown people . As the majority are of the First Nation indigenous KHOI and SAN .
Carol, such an honorable South African. I liked how she pronounced the names of the panelist. She actually said Gqola.
♥ Thank you
They feel like siblings of the word

Oh my word, Malika Ndlovu😍 The first time I was introduced to the idea of South African poetry, she was one of the facilitators of a poetry segment at a language festival we were invited to in East London. I'll never forget the chant she taught us to "keep the story going." The most striking thing about her was the artistry she embodied without a word. I wanted to be just like her. Ugh😍
Breathtaking 🙏🏾
Beautiful 😍

A perfect display of toxic masculinity at 32:07. Jitsvingers so fragile after my performance, making a point to announce and make a show of needing to “clean” the space after my Gate Keeper poem performance, I must be quite the filthy tief 😒 Well “sorry to this man.” I don’t even know you. Bad spirit you’ve been gone.
We coloured and proud, for the haters we dont give a fuck.
How do you tell coloreds in the Western Cape that they should stop calling themselves coloreds because apartheid is over. The word was deeply routed/rooted by colonizers along with the Afrikaans language they were subjected to. The whites cannot reverse the damage they have done nevermind apologizing for the crimes they have committed separating colored kids from black mothers during apartheid. Unfortunately, post apartheid where do you think they will begin when integrating with their lost families because most of them do not speak Xhosa and were subjected to Afrikaans. The only direction they can go is to claim the Khoisan heritage because that is what they can identify with. Coloreds felt abandoned by whites during apartheid hence they were part of the struggle against apartheid. They feel abandoned post apartheid instead of the black government dismantling the word colored and integrating them under black people, they categorized them as the other group especially when it came to employment opportunities and such things as housing. White people watch on the sidelines as always not taking responsibility of stacking coloreds in Cape Flats under appalling conditions. Coloreds given their bad experiences and situation unlike African Americans with their rap genre, they came up with Kaapse klopse which gave them a sense of identity and belong. So bro I cannot blame you with such a response.
Colored can follow the Afrikaans to Europe or India,not red-blooded Africans
I had friends who qualified themselves as Coloureds from South Africa. Tell me what is Coloured? Is a person who is visibly Black but with mixed racial lineages, also Coloured in South Africa? Tell me?
What color are you,red,purple,green or blue,God did not creat any human in color,get off those vestiges of apartheid
@@tarsisvanbrussel5221in South Africa, black is synonymous with the black Bantu tribes that migrated here from central Africa. The coloureds are obviously and clearly NOT that , as the majority are descendants of the original indigenous inhabitants of SA the Khoi and San . These two aboriginal First Nation people have always been referred to as brown . So it's totally incorrect to assume that they are black just because it might be presently politically correct .
This is beautiful
not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother during the lockdown xD
@Archie Louis Yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
The Office for Race Classification has died, apartheid is over...stop refering 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.
But coloured people are not dead. Even if you get rid of the classification, we still retain our own distinct culture, life experiences and histories which all go back even beyond apartheid.
Apartheid is not dead. The legislative removal of apartheid does not magically remove the effect of apartheid.
I agree with Jason Hanslo. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_Registration_Act,_1950
Such a shame to say this, as Coloureds has fought just as hard to have apartheid removed..yet now we find a new thing, sadly it's reversed racism.
They are stuck on apartheid syndrome,what color are they? Red,blue,yellow,purple,white ,stupid white man labels in Africa
It is nice to share in the conversations of the two young female Nigerian writers I admire and somehow connected with.
I do not know why this stuff comes up on my recommended list and what not, but yeah. Got no interest in this. There's always one thing in common with these "coloured" activists finding their identity and what not, and that is they are always female. Is there a fault here? might be!
Perun we dont care we love us and dont care about you blacks and whites. We proud to be called coloureds and embrace our culture and identity. Go coloureds
tchip Pat piss off you not wanted here and we dont want you.
Great Panel!
Lmao "😱 oh it's your hair!"
