🇿🇦 BORN A CRIME | American Couple Reacts "The Untold Truth Of Trevor Noah's Tragic Real Life Story"

[@diva777]

I'll never forget those days. Apartheid, those horrible years. I Remember when Apartheid ended and all the celebrations. His mom was a tough woman. My dad recently sent me a pic of my siblings and I leaving SA on their Apartheid plane. Much love to all my South African cousins who lived through the struggle. ❤

It also makes me, a white man born in South Africa, very emotional.

It's important to know we are all human and share these emotions. Empathy is important for us to heal and grow spiritually.

[@swarelomatlou6804]

I have read Trevor Noah's book "Born a crime",it's very emotional.And her mother is really a strong,loving woman.

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

I know her mom is very clever and adamant. So smart she convinced Trevor's father to impregnate her saying there will be "no strings attached". She chose him for his good genes and what a 'product' she made. 💖🇿🇦🇺🇸

[@martinmakhase-mvundle9588]

Y'all should check out his comedy bit were he explains the incident were his mom got shot

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

I saw that. She really almost died. And the man that shot him was still a neighbor. And Trevor's mom refused to move saying she feels no shame.... 💖🇿🇦🇺🇸

[@urban_legend.]

I think you need to watch Trevor's version of this exact same story 😂hilarious

[@urban_legend.]

@@ochrechap its called comedy Trevor even breaks down what comedy means to him, in the same "joke".

[@nomfihlomutale3329]

Bessie Head the author is an example of what happened to those children who were mixed race. Her story was quite sad. I love her book when rain clouds gather and Maru

[@retsenateng]

I read the book in matric

[@phaks9529]

a truly sad story Nomfihlo

[@cobwebtheorem7538]

Thank you for giving me a book to look up. Really enjoyed Trevor's book. Respect from Kenya.

[@voodoomlaba4070]

Maru is book written so beautifully... Will always remain in my Top 5

[@nomfihlomutale3329]

At school we only did Maru because its what was required for the syllabus, but when I bought it for myself years later I discovered it had two separate books with completely different characters. When the rain clouds gather is a whole book separate from Maru, it gives a nice picture of what south africa was like in contrast to Botswana during the apartheid years

[@motshedisichauke7411]

Read the book - you will laugh and cry and laugh from the first page till the end where he tells the story of his mama getting shot - I was in tears... As in laughing out loud.. I just want his baby, those dimples mh mh mh

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

What!!!!???? U mean he is funny even writing of what is supposed to be a horror story. He's really gifted then ❤️🇿🇦🇺🇸

[@Westcountrynordic]

When it comes to Govt taking Children away from mothers its happened in Scotland, Wales and probably England to. Children born to single mothers were taken away and adopted by a "real family" My partners mother was adopted and she never knew who her mother was, sadly she went to her grave aged 93 never knowing who her birth mother was. We tried to find out but records "were lost"

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

That's a tragedy. So is there or was there any formal talks where ur country has had a talk on any reparations for all the... 'victims' for lack of better word. 💖🇿🇦🇺🇸

[@Westcountrynordic]

@@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq when it comes to reparations its seems the British are at the back of the queue behind all the other nations demanding reparations from slavery. Its also worth pointing out that any money would come from British taxpayers and so we would be paying extra tax to be given some money back.

I can recommend his book. It’s funny, inspiring, fascinating and sometimes horrifying. Trevor’s mama is something else. Trevor too, the stories in there 😅…

[@alundavies1016]

I (white Brit) lived in Botswana in the early 80s and we used to transit through South Africa on the way. Always used to wonder at the visual divide when the plane came in to land at Jo’Burg. Outbid the window you could see the townships, shantys with dirt tracks. Then next minute every house had a pool, green lawns, wide roads. In Botswana a lot of the ANC were based around Gabarone and the South African army used to cross the border to blow up the camps.

[@reginalddithapo7922]

My mother told me a story about my granny putting us all under the bed when the apartheid forced opened fire in our then neighbourhood, they were basically dropping explosives on unsuspecting civilians in their homes , just for the slight chance of possibly killing the ANC exhiles taking refuge in Botswana. My Granny was actually part Zambian and Zimbabwean, so she knew what to do to protect us incase the building came down from the bombs. May she rest I verlaine peace. With ❤ from Botswana 🇧🇼

Thats why Trevor was so happy to go to American where he would be reconised as black.

[@brynejordan2877]

Not that it matters,but, I’m a white dude from WV. That should and does have little to do with this…. I’ve always loved listening to Trevor. Such an eloquent and inspiring voice to portray what life was like in that time and place. I highly encourage you to get his book. It is such an amazing introspective and informative, soul crushing and uplifting story. His mother was his savior and that’ll only makes sense if you read the book. And his grandmother is an absolute legend. As you learn more about Trevor, this may make no sense right now, listen for things about bricks. That’s my favorite story of his, well that and his grandmother basically telling him that he wasn’t a cute child. Much love to Trevor. I have his book right here in front of me now.

[@CodingExpress]

On 10 May 1994, after three and a half centuries of colonialism and apartheid, Nelson Mandela became South Africa's first (black) democratically elected president, ending the Apartheid regime!

[@Plans2u]

This is the first time I view his story differently cause he used it as comedy, and I do laugh about it, but Wow, for many years, it's the first time to sink in me how he was traumatised, looking at it on this angle

[@Eduardo-nr5te]

Well it happened in Australia as well with the Aboriginals You guys need to check Rabbit proof fence movie at your spare time

[@Westcountrynordic]

It happened in Wales as well but it was white children with single mothers that were taken. The Welsh Govt have just issued a formal apology.

I am from Namibia and we were colonised by the South African apartheid regime as well after the Germans. I don't remember much of that time, but it was the same kind of stories I would hear from the elders.

My colored looking relative were removed from the Zulu community in the 60s and their surname was changed from Zulu surname to English surname. But even their children never forgot their father was actually Cele and not Morris.

[@langtonmudzva6202]

I don't care what happened but if you're a man & you lay your hands on a woman you're capable of physically abusing your own mother. Men lay hands on women knowing she's not going to physically harm you in return, that has to be the most hypocritical act in humankind. The same men who beat up defenseless women also say ish like "if anyone touches my mother, I'm committing murder" 🙄 that's the most coward thing 2 say

[@palesapitsie4822]

Yes we had apartheid but he did not go through to that. My greatgran was mixed race born in 1899, passed on 19881. Granmom was mixed race born in 1921 passed 2015. I was born in 1969 and attended white school from 1981

As much as I like Trevor Noah. Don't buy into the bio and background of his upbringing. Especially, if its not coming directly from him and his standup. He lived a good life. He had access to acting and male modelling from a very age. He was well-off. Not rich. Being rich is kinda subjective.
