UUUGH, I forgot to mention, coloured isn't just a skin thing, although in the video I said that coloured is to describe a mixed race person, being coloured is also more of a cultural thing (so technically not all mixed ppl are coloureds) , like you would've had to have grown up in coloured culture to be truly coloured, even though on the one hand coloured say it's mixed race and on the other hand coloureds say coloured is just coloured, it's also about the culture not just the color of the person's skin, don't ask why I forgot to mention this in my video, so yeah technically not all mixed race ppl are coloured if not raised in the culture, i just mentioned the mixed race thing bc coloured are different, we don't all look the same, but yeah. so basically coloureds aren't just mixed either, and not all are mixed, and yes i'm a coloured too, so don't be jus in the kop in my comment, i mos told and explained everything i needed to explain. edited* and literally someone said "your to dark to be coloured" y'all do know again coloureds don't look like same right, not all coloureds are light skins, also i'm brown like caramel not dark😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 some of y'all gonna make me laugh in these comments 😂 😅 🤣
@@calicoesblue4703 I JUST EXPLAINED THAT COLOUREDSS AREN'T THE SAME, AND IM FUCKING BROWN!!!!!! BROOOOWWWWNNNNN, IM A COLOURED AND IM A PROUD COLOURED WHO'S PROUDLY APART OF THE COLOURED COMMUNITY, NOW LEAVE US ALOOONE
@@meisgoofy Being black has nothing to do with Skin tone🫵🤦🤦🤦. You could describe yourself as a cat but that still will not change how the world sees you. A self-hating black girl🫵🤷🤷🤷🤦🤦 Khosians & Sans are lighter then all black people & they are still described as black people because being black has nothing to do with skin color. Black people come in various shades & skin tones.🫵🤡🤡🤡
What black Americans seem to be forgetting is that Tyla is a South African artist doing South African music. She was an international superstar BEFORE she ever went to America. Trying to cancel her because she refuses to erase herself out of existence to appease them simply won't work simply because America DID NOT make her, so America CANNOT break her. Even though SOME of them may not want to support, she just finished touring Malaysia, Japan, & South Korea, thereby proving that she DOES NOT NEED the support of a handful of bitter black people in America. Even in America she has had several performances in front of predominantly white and other non black audiences who are not so fussy about her racial identity as black Americans are. The smart people will accept her for who she is and enjoy her music, while the bitter ones will keep obsessing about her race and miss out on the good music that everybody else is enjoying. They are delusional to think that they actually have any kind of power to cancel her music career. Her recent tour outside of America in spite of their hate and attempts to cancel her proves that they can't, because she is an international super star with or without them. Tyla should just change her marketing strategy to target those who love her and love her music regardless of her racial identity, while leaving the rest behind. Black Americans form only 13 percent of the total population of America. Out of that 13 percent, maybe half of them hate her. She should ignore them and focus on the other half plus the remaining 87 percent of the people in America who definitely enjoy her music. Once again, Tyla is a South African artist doing South African music. Without South Africa, there is no Tyla. Without America, she is STILL an international super star. Period.
@elroyswarts2337 I 100% agree with you, but also I was googling, and found that they also being super racist, I'm coloured and support tyla 100%, I except her for who she is as a person, so clearly we smart🤣but on a serious note agreed 100%
@@meisgoofy Yes of course they are being racist. Some of them are even being racist toward Dricus Du Plessis who is also from South Africa, but they don't like him just because he happens to be white. They feel that they are the only group being discriminated against, and because of that they have some kind of blank check to be racist towards others regardless. By the way, no. They are not the only group in the world who are discriminated against. They just happen to have the loudest voices. Excellent video you made. More coloured people should speak out about their experiences and speak out in defense of Tyla. I support you 100 percent. Well done girl. ❤🙏👌
@@JuniorHlani-s3jShe was relatively unknown in South Africa but across the continent of Africa she was already famous. She toured in several African countries and was well known already. That's not to even mention the fact that she already blew up on Tiktok with the water dance challenge. All of that happened BEFORE she ever performed in America. What the hell are you talking about? The point is that South Africa made her. Everything about her is uniquely South African. The fact that most South Africans were unaware of her until she later blew up is irrelevant.
@@JuniorHlani-s3jPlease explain to me how someone can tour Africa BEFORE going to America, yet still not be known in Africa BEFORE going to America. You are actually quite sneaky because you are a Tyla hater who keeps bashing her and keeps downplaying her achievements, while hiding behind words like "she's talented" and "I root for our girl." It's okay. You can be honest about your hatred for Tyla. I won't judge you. It's fine. Let it out some more. You need to sit on a couch and talk to someone. Get some help.
The US idealogy doesn't rule the world. Americans must learn to understand other people's struggles. It's not always about them. Respect others Black Americans... learn beyond the shores your country
@@stifler5062 You are 100% correct. This generation are more clued up, know their worth and do not support people blindly. Black americans have a spending power of 1.6 trillion dollars. Respectfully, they do not need to learn anything. If you want their money, it will be on their terms.
Black American here. Colored wasn’t always bad here, when enslaved people were free they used the word colored as sense of pride, unity, and then the white people here decided to make it something BAD!!!! Tyla definitely added to the movement of some black Americans wanting to get intuned with their Africaness. It’s a lot of Us that defend her cus we love her !!!!!!
It’s common in South Africa to use this term. There are whites and other races in South Africa. She was being proud by acknowledging this. The cultural ignorance is ridiculous.
At least south africans dont deny their genetic makeup. Mixed ethnicity. Does she have to please black america by denying who she is? I am mixed European with south african indigenous... and guess what america? i am not black enough to be black and not white enough to be white so my identification is WHAT TYLA SAID, COLOURED (COLORED as per your spelling)
A colored race is ridiculous Indian, white, black, Chinese those are races but you are a mixed between 2 races how does that make you another race all together ?
We are south Africans and on our id's we are classified as Coloured. What is wrong with the Americans. You classified as something tin uour country. In iur country we are classified Coloured. And we are proudly coloureds and so is Tyla. A proud coloured girl from South Africa. Why must she pretend to be something else. Just leave our star alone. If you don't have anything nice to say. Dont say anything, please 🙏 We love you Tyla.. you making us proud. Coloured south Africans.
Africans are Africans not black. Black is a word used by foreigners to erase our different tribes. I’m African but I’m not black even though others may call me black.
SA is not US. I'm not a colored but If I follow the story well, Tyla said "I'm a colored" on SAn terms. She didn't call anyone a colored but herself & explained why? What's so difficult that those Americans chose not to understand on how SA categorized its population. My intake is that those American haters are JEALOUS! Case closed!
the blacklash against coloured from americans is because of the one drop rule in america, creole people were kinda simliar to coloured people but because of the lousiana purchase creoles became one dropped into blackness and now creole culture is dying off. most creoles are barely part of their own culture. i think they are attempting to do the same with coloured people, thats why tyla has to became a black woman instead of coloured, they say that coloured is offense but theres an entire term called POC (people of color) that is used in america.. i dont think they are offended by the word coloured but that she wont one drop herself into blackness or that theres a culture of people that wont subscribe to the racist one drop rule (when i say similar i dont mean the exact same, just that coloured and creole are both mixed race groups of people that have a culture of their own)
@loveangelmusicbabylamb well that's kinda sad, they'll never get to us, even here in southafrica there are people who want us coloureds too forget where we came from and claim us, truth is, is that we too proud of a culture to listen to ppls kak, and tyla should think that way aswell, Americans can't claim her bc she's not theirs, I'm not saying all Americans are like that btw, that would be unfair of me, but the ones who are trying to are dumb, we don't needa do shit they just needa realize that this is life, when u step outside ur house shit around you changes, and as a coloured tyla nor the other coloureds shouldn't give up our culture bc ppl won't get over themselves
@@meisgoofy i agree! not all americans but the one drop rule is DEEP in american culture esp black culture. im glad coloureds is fighting back, thats what you have to do, dont back down. i look up to coloured cultures, i wish that creoles were as proud now as you guys are. (theres a few but not many, beyonce was once proudly creole but she stepped away from mentioning it as much due to the backlash) 🩷 im going to sub, i just found your channel and i really like your content!
@@loveangelmusicbabylamb That one drop rule stuff will never work on coloured people in South Africa because South African coloured people have a strong culture and mechanisms like language that makes it impossible for them to just be destroyed like what was done to Creole culture in America. I know that coloured culture and Creole culture in America is very similar. Also, they can never erase Tyla's identity from her. Even though they were able to convince her to say that she is black when in America, that doesn't change who she is at her core. Forcing Tyla to say that she is black in America is about as nonsensical as saying that a white man from Europe is black when in Africa and Asian when in Asia. Tyla is coloured no matter where in the world she is. She recently toured Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea. That DOES NOT MEAN she became Malaysian in Malaysia, Japanese in Japan, or South Korean in South Korea. She was and will always be coloured. Funny how no one in any of the places she toured were as fussy about her identity as some black Americans are. Black Americans are literally in their feelings over someone else's culture. That's someone else in an entirely different country on an entirely different continent. South Africa is not the same as America. South African black people are not as insecure in their blackness as American black people tend to be. In fact, South African black people are so secure in their blackness that they don't even need Tyla or any other mixed person to be black. Also, blackness is not as cheap and easily accessible in South Africa as it tends to be in America. Having said that, South African black people know and understand coloured people very well. They accept them for who they are. During the recent attacks on Tyla's coloured identity by black Americans, South Africans black people even defended Tyla and did their best to try to educate black Americans about coloured people in South Africa. Yes, there are some anti coloured black people in South Africa who have the same kind of mindset that black Americans have, but they are not that many and their efforts to erase the coloured identity amounts to absolutely nothing. They are too insignificant to even be a factor. Ultimately, no one will be able to change coloured culture, or redefine coloured identity. That's just not possible.
And it's always NON South Africans making it about colourism. They cant tell the difference between a light black SAn and a dark Coloured SAn. We can mos be darker than black people and we all accept that. They also want to act like they would have suffered in Apartheid but they conveniently leave out that Black Americans got "Honorary White Status" as did Brits. ER Braithwaite wrote a book about it.
Girl I am Cameroonian and I was raised in South Africa by coloureds and I did not have a problem with it because I considered them as Africans and respect and love their culture and way of speaking ,now I talk English and Afrikaans together
This is a very tricky subject, thank you for talking about this. SA's BEE policies even refer to 'Coloured'...Tyla is so lovely. Let's appreciate her for her talent.
🙄 Tyla is pretty and there will always be a stable supply of haters, ready to dish out ready-made insults. She's "Coloured", get over it. It's incredible how the same group of people are not bothered about the N word which has become so normalised in everyday speech.
But is the coloured, black term words were invented by colonisers, why you also embrace them. They derogatory terms period and I don't want to be labelled by them. As you can see from my profile picture I'm mixed with something.
Black Americans are wise about her She do not represent them. South Africans especially the black ones forgot how much black Americans demonstrated for their freedom and bring about awareness about their suffering while people like tyler scorned them. Black Americans are honest about how they feel about her. Good for them. It's time we, as the True Blacks, take a stand.
Im a Zimbabwean who grew up in south africa and i honestly think that the foncept might be hard for some ppl who arent used to that term being thrown around so casually whereas there in America they avoid it BUT it is honestly also a thing of entitlement at this point AND uneducation like that paragraph Tyla posted explaining this shouldve been ebough but all of a sudden it was just her trying to get black privileges. Like WHAT she has black blood she is a mixed person whats the issue
@JJi-s2n yeah, I get it but my problem with America is that, I understand that the term may be strange and upsetting but even after thousands of South africans including coloureds explained it, they still wanna claim us like the world revolves around them, and my biggest problem is that we for so long allowed them to say and do what evers to our country and now South africans wanna put their foot down, in the end they gonna have to back down, which is gonna happen pretty soon by the looks of it, an they gonna have to sit their asses down and move on, but also they being racist asf to coloureds, like wtf.
This whole drama between Tyla and Kai is becoming so stupid like come on now I understand yall love kai but being rejected is normal everyone goes thru that it doesn’t ,Ean that you have together rid of them just cause they messed with ur idol like no don’t do that💯💯💯
Well first of all you can't really call it music --- like the rest of this genre ----- its not singing or have any real tune to hum to in the shower ----- it's actually called MAKES-YOU-SIC
I’m American and I never noticed that anybody was trying to cancel her… I think she gets looked over because her music sounds the same and is kind of boring.
I feel like for tyla she should just be humble period.epic is giving us a picture that she is a very big artist yet in actual sense she doesn't even do number non of her new songs in her album Even reached billboard hot 100 😂 she sold less than ice spice her first week despite winning a Grammy for releasing an album,she was literally every where every country, every tv show, performing every where in still sells only 24k units😂
Let's be honest, America made her a superstar especially with the controversial Grammy Award. Don't call me a hater fir soeaythe truth. If u think Im wrong, then can u show us her achievements for which she was a superstar prior to the Water song that won her a Grammy award?
@@KKhumz I'm coloured, and I'm brown like caramel. I just fucking explained this to y'all, Clearly you not coloured, will never understand it, so don't talk kak to me please, GROW UP and except it 4 what it is
