Are Coloured People Racist 

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.

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.

I think that all races have racists people. These are important conversations to have.

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

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...

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.❤

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Whenever someone says they’re going to educate their family you can feel the condescension drip like dew

The lady in a white jacket said it best... we're all victims of corporate and political corruption

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?.

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.

The English the colored South African speak is different from black South African.

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.

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.

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.

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 Rustige dag of nag mense

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.

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...

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.

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

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#

I’m a mixed race American with one black parent and one white parent. Are biracial ppl in South Africa also considered colored?

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

This is a very interesting conversation, a conversation that we definitely need to have, considering all the race hate this country. I wish that we mix more as various communities to understand one another,great work guys.

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"

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.

what about all the racist Blacks????

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.

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

Blame the colonizers for this!

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???

First off all IM NOT BLACK . I'm coloured . & Secondly coloured people get disrespected so much even on social media platforms and TV , but no one does something about it . I live in a country that hides my people and our history of what we also went through in apartheid . Our story's are not known and this is wrong . Black people did not fight alone , we all did .

I am Cameroonian and studied in Cape Town, South Africa. I've never been more aware of my race than while in Cape Town.l was surprised that coloured classmates kept saying they are not black and in fact got angry if I tried to label them as such although I later met a colored man who after studies in the US now understood he was in fact Black

very interesting interesting topic growing as a black guy I always get mistaken for being coloured but I really didn't pay attention to it cause I saw coloured and black the same thing but now I see there's a whole lot I don't know.

Coloured are mixed! Period!

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. We need to raise our children not to see colour first so there is a hopeful path forward.

LOVE THIS VIDEO - WATCHIN FROM DENMARK

As another commenter below has said.. we are ALL racist.. we all want to be with our own people (even the ones that aren't the same color as us) We like 'our kinda people' and dislike the others.. it's just the way it is. Politeness and social cohesion has to do with commerce.. but if you don't need something from someone, and you don't like them.. you gonna say as much.. regardless of the color.

This is a bit biased. Let's hear from the actual racist Coloureds.

This was like an intellectual love letter to my soul. Ladies could please be so kind to post more and maybe just add the contributors names and social media handles in the description bar. I love stalking smart Khoi-San descendants .

Jesus once said something like : if you hate your brother (fellow human being) without a cause, you're in danger of hell. So haters be warned, everything has consequences. Haters will be punished for their evil racism. God hates racism. Read the Bible (Numbers 12)and see what HE did to a racist who was complaining about Moses' black wife from Africa.

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.

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

bantu don't ever accept these people.

"Both groups are suffering" well put my love, you are a legend.

I feel like this is not a fair representation of all coloured people but rather those who have an apple to pick? As if you can't hear racial undertones and condescension... please educate us who didn't go to UCT or become an activist?

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.

1:26 your own identity is better than anothers, thats not predjudice unless you look down on someone else for benig an identity in such away that they are not allowed to also think themselvse better

During the apartheid we coloured were black after we won against apartheid we were no longer blacks ,.Once bitten twice shy

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.

I've never seen a coloured human in my life!

I am from Colombia, so, watching this i think: are All the colombians colored?

We've always been in the middle

The punch bag of the both sides...what a nightmare!

This is crazy, we have really been messed up mentally. This argument makes no sense

Its embarrassing...self hate.

Well put you guys. Thank you

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

Interesting documentary

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.

I'm Tanzania living in Cape town for 1999 I have 6 so called coloured children and I'm called African so I don't understand what is coloured and what is black in this country 🤐

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?

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!

Capetown 'Coloureds' ja. Black as a race is European ideolog. We are brown.

Are coloured people racist? Me: Yes...end. Btw I am a coloured girl.

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.

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.

All humans are tribal... so if you are human, you will be racist...

Nothing good to say about their own people. Ons is arme mense met nike maar ons is racist.

So according to one guy, Africans had skirmishes and wars between them but they lived peacefully. Right.

Alot of Coloured people look Polynesian. Specifically Samoans and Tongans

Listen now once and for all everybody is racist everybody out there

No but the Bantus are

Definitely

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.

What do you mean are Coloureds racist? 😒. Every single race group has racist people.

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.🤔

Yes , very against my own anywhere

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.

Yes

2:02 come on lady I'm west african and I'm lighter than you.

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

If your father is pure white and your mother is pure black, are you considered coloured?

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.

Coloured people, aren't racist, due to the fact that blacks, Indians and coloureds are brown, we are generically the brown race, but most are colorists where they hate you becuz ur darker than them, they hate you becuz you speak a different language, you're not fair skinned where how odd some coloureds are darker than some black ppl have the same hair texture but still think they are better becuz of the accent, why is everyone afraid to be black yet you litsen to our music, dress like us, use our lingo but get so affected when anyone says you are black, If being classified as black is so bad, why is copying us not bad either, why is our music house music not bad as well, We need each other to co exist in this world, we need all races to become a better human race, why is being a certain race so shamed upon, why is race even a factor....?

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.

haha what propaganda is this

Overwhelming YES.

Hey wa van praat j no kyk die koisan mense van Africa we are koisan mense van Africa 🤔

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...

What a joke 😂 they only interviewed activist students and musicians. Two groups that know no nothing of the real world and of holding a job.

Bro, everyone is racist
