Molo ntombi😊 Wamkelekile eMzantsi Africa Wonwabe gurl u Sele isavanna🤣

are you single?

I hope you explained to your fellow Black/African Americans that being called Coloured in SA is not an insult so they can stop judging & insulting Tayla for calling herself Coloured. We have different races here in SA & our experiences are not the same & at times they intertwine but there's respect all around. We are South Africans at the end of the day & we love each other despite our differences. Tyla is one of us & when they attack her the WHOLE of SA will come to her defense & they don't want that, trust me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

With all due respect, the American classification of black is deeply rooted in “white supremacy” and keeping the white race “pure”. So when you identify the South African classification as rooted in colonialism, I would have assumed that you came to that realisation. In both cases, it’s nothing to be proud of. But it still does not mean that a mixed race person is black/Africa or white/Caucasian. If you mixed, you mixed.

In Jamaica; The Browning Class or Mulattoes are a group of people in Jamaica with a mix of Black and white ancestry: History The Browning Class are the post-colonial inheritors of status and privilege from the white upper class. In the 1871 census, 100,346 people were recorded as "Coloured", which is now known as the Browning Class or Mulattoes. Demographics According to a 2011 census, 15.1% of Jamaica's population is Afro-European, or Browning Class. Wealth Despite being a minority group, the Browning Class, along with White Jamaicans and Chinese Jamaicans, control a disproportionate share of the country's wealth. Social power Brownness or light skin can be a source of social power and status. Some dancehall songs encourage skin bleaching and glorify brown skin. Terminology In Jamaica, "white" is an inclusive category that includes people of Anglo-Saxon, Jewish, Syrian, and even some multiracial or Chinese backgrounds.

it's actually a curse

You look like one of us (i'm technically mixed race- but it's the same thing here in south africa) which i have to say white people have successfully separated people of african descent, i mean in the last 5 years i have discoverd 75% of indians (in india) are of indigenous african descent🙄 even chinese (i mean all the people in asia) with the beautiful dove eyes are that way because of their african ancestors... actually i eventually realised that having melanin in the skin (like the even the very fair koreans) does not change the facts - you're of african descent😅😅😅... i wont even mention the caucASIANS😂😂😂😂 who i hold personally responsible for separating every race on earth for financial dominance🤑🤑🤑

You look very much black except hair texture.

Respectfully vlack Americans are ignorant AF. Glad you're well travelled

Since the fall of Apartheid, interracial marriages have been made legal. However, just because your parents of different races doesn't automatically mean you're part of the Coloured culture, because your parents aren't part of that culture. You would simply be someone of mixed race. There is a difference. The Coloured community has developed their own unique culture over many years as they were forced into separate residential areas from whites and blacks.

You will find that you will be more accepted in the Coloured communities than in any other in South Africa.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Proud Coloured from Cape Town 🎉🎉🎉 Too many races mixed in one! Bottom line we Coloured and we embrace that! Coloured words: Awe! And Yoh! And yes we are not black we are mixed with so many races that we developed our own Culture... Come to Cape Town and see the Culture ❤❤

❤You sure you not Coloured , cause you sure look like one❤

In SA, mixed race was classified as coloured by lawmakers during apartheid. During apartheid black was not allowed to mix with white, but people from other countries like Scotland, etc, came and created the mix now known as coloured. Because we were not black white or Indian those in power created the race called coloured. It's been a race for years now.

Warm greetings to all the coloureds! 🇨🇺🇬🇩🇨🇦🤝🇿🇦

As Coloureds We Just Do Not Want Reject The Fact That We Have European And Even Malay In Our Blood. Blacks Here In South Africa Will Never See Us As Black

I just love that you get it... And coloured people are such a beautiful beings

I'm African American and proud as hell of it! Because, I know who I am, and what I represent, the kingdom of Judah from the twelve tribes of Israel, yes the True Master Race! Fact check that with God! Everything else is Fake News!

The name will never change sweetheart.. we are proudly Kulid🙏🏽

Africa s ar🎉e so proud of there so called culture yet they jump to straighten their hair and bleach their skins to look like ?

What a silly issue to make a video about as if coloureds in SA are a homogeneous group and that all of them are stupid enough to generalise about your racial heritage.

I’m SA. It’s about making things make sense. That little bit of black that you’re talking about would not make sense to us to call someone black. That person is either white or coloured. Pick. At least in our homeland that would be the case if that person were one of us. Coloured is very useful in SA because it gives someone a category to fall under when they don’t fall within specified categories. We make life simple. Also a culture has merged from within that community. That’s a rather beautiful thing to see. So it doesn’t feel like a bunch of people we couldn’t put into a category and just made up a name and put them in it. Everywhere people go there is stereotypes based on features because that place has people who look like that. It’s all love though or it should be.

The biggest thing in life is to be happy and confident in your own skin. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Be happy, live your life like there is no tomorrow. ❤

You are just as beautiful as the local ladies in RSA.. :) We have the most beautifully diverse country in the World. We are a new generation of people that are trying despertaly to not see colour. Well said in this Vlog Tia.

I just think people should wake up and see that this “colored” and “Black South African” (which is crazy that you have to name Blacks as a race in AFRICA) is a way for whites to divide and conquer. If you rape enough of them and have enough biracial kids and pit them against those who they come from, have them hate their Black ancestry, and classify a new race, maybe it’ll be easier to get them on our side, and to keep Black South Africans (natives, I call them) down. I’ll bet that’s the case in 50 years. Watch.

4:00 There are in fact many Coloureds with Filipino roots. Around 1870 when there was a revolutionary war in the Philipines against Spanish rule, many Filipinos fled to South Africa with a large number of them settling in Kalk Bay, where they started a fishing community that still exists today. Becoming known as the Manilas, later through intermarriage, their offsprng, along with later groups of Filipino immigrants integrated with the Khoi, the slave descendents and other mixed people who would later all be lumped together to be classified as Coloured. Aside from the "Filipino Looks" many Coloureds may have, there are also Coloureds who don't look Filipino but carry Filipino genes AND you will also find many Coloureds who may or may not look Filipino and have Filipino-Spanish surnames like Gonsalves, Erispe, Rodriques, Lopez, Fernandez, Da Silva, etc. Coloued history and Ancestry is far more complex than simply saying it is a mix between Africans and Europeans with a sprinkle of Malay. Aside from the Manilas (Filipinos) there are a few other small groups that very few people know about and who have added to the Coloured gene pool. The very first Indians who came to South Africa did not go to Durban. It was a century earlier than Durban that over 300 Indians were brought to Cape Town. There are even a few African Americans who after the end of slavery in the US somehow ended up in Cape Town in the late 1800's and got integrated into what became the Coloured population group. Until around 1982, Chinese descendents who were here for generations lived in Coloured areas before the Apartheid government moved them to white Areas. In many parts of the world including South Africa, Italians and Portuguese people were not seen as white. Guess amongst which people they lived and mixed with before the Apartheid government classified them as white. So you could someday run into someone a shade darker than you with much more curlier hair and just a touch of what looks like Indian or Asian features and their surname is De la Cruz. Anyways, thanks for the Lekke video Tia. We will embed it on our website. Oh and we love that you say it is a Community and a Culture, which definitey, as a Population Group, it is both, we believe that Coloured is not a race. Though it is officially defined as a race, by the mere definition of the concept of 'race', an unscientific construct, Coloured, becuase it is os very mixed, cannot be a race. Still, as a Culture and a Community, it will always be a Valid Identity. Ryan Swano

Jou Afrikaans is goed, jy moet sommer die nuus op tv gaan lees 😊

wow😂😂😂😂😂 you will get it

To all of this mxim😂

If you go back and look at the 1948 South African General election and the U.S. Presidential election in 2024 you see many similarities , and its down right scary. You had the liberal labor party who wanted to intergerate slowly with South Africans, and have a more unified country, lose to a conservative party of Afrikanners who used fear of black people, the economic issuses that ravaged the country to attain power. In a few years after the election , most South Africans, Indians saw the little rights they had vanished in the rise of Apartheid. It would be nearly 50 years before South Africa realized they made a horrible mistake electing the conservatives in 1948.. Elections have consequences! It only took one election to bring so much pain to millions of people!

U R beautiful ❤ and colored people are the nicest people ❣️

South Africans have very deep roots and a culture of celebrating heritage so it seems perhaps you just spoke to people who are ignorant. You should visit the local museums to learn about it.

The problem is not with South Africans but it's with foreigners who project their world view onto us and think you have to be either black or white. God made nations and Tribes that existed before colonialism with distinct features and varying complexions who identified by culture not necessarily skin colour. We can say that being black has been politicized too. We don't tell fair skinned Chinese people that they have to identify as white cos they're closer in complexion to whites? Nor do we tell Sri lankens with their darker skin and straight hair that they are black. Even Russians, Europeans and Dutch who'd all be considered white do not see themselves as the same culturally or ethnically.

😅😂 LOL goeie more.... You almost said it right but I understand what you trying to say that's all that matters

Like the gangster girl attitude. Enjoy SA
