Mixed history: South African Coloured culture

[@sergiosuker9902]

[@tahliah6691]

@DumaM-ir7rk that’s not true about mixed cultured people in the UK … they tend to refer to themselves as being mixed…. They are not black… I don’t use the term black because it’s derogatory and colonialistic…. People of African origin are Afro peoples whether in Africa the Caribbean or the americas…. The people in South Africa who call themselves coloured are just mixed cultured… why do people hold onto colonial terms… Afro people are not black… everyone has a culture or tribe identity as that not a colour that is derogatory… I find the term black is racist…. Afro people never called themselves black until the Europeans interfered with their life…not everyone wants to be mixed to be honest medically it’s easier to treat someone who is fully one race eg African than someone who is mixed cultured….

@@teleportasmr9580 I also think that Khois are not originally Africans. I think they came from the Amazon and Islands in the Atlantic Ocean between the American and the African Continent. During their journey to the Western Cape, they passed by Botswana. I think Batswana used to call them Masarwa. Then they were chased out of Botswana and they ran to Namibia. Namibians also chased them away, they ran to Cape province. Some were left in the Nothern Cape and the others went to the Western Cape. On their way to the Western Cape, they came across Zulus who were running away from Shaka. The Zulus took away some of them and went to the Eastern Cape to form what is called Xhosa (a mixture of Zulu and Khoi languages). If you can go to the Eastern Cape, you'll find that most Xhosas look like Khois. When a white man came to SA found some of the Khoi (who were not taken by the Zulus to the Eastern Cape) in Cape Town and thought they were African native but they were not.

Unlike Oceania, the Atlantic ocean is not full of islands. The people who first occupied southern Africa were nomads. They constantly traversed the area from the east to the west. They were here long before the Zulus. The world that you portray here is a densely populated region more suitable to the 21st century than the population of way back!

The term colored in South Africa was initially used to describe an offspring between a black and white person. Most so-called colored in SA, especially those in the Cape do not have black or white people as their ancestors. Mostly they have roots from Asia, just as people in Madagascar. Therefore, people should do ancestral DNA and use a large percentage to identify themselves. For example, as a Cape Townian, if a large percentage says that you have roots in Malaysia, use Malaysia to Identify yourself. As a Cape Townian you'll call yourself a Cape Malaysian instead of colored.

It does not matter what colour we are, it’s the culture that counts! We are all human and Hendrik Verwoerd made a huge mistake with apartheid- sadly he was not even South African but from Holland🤦‍♂️ I live in the Nama-Khoi district where there are still very much Racism so sad😰 my grandchildren live in Brazil and they are “colored” but nobody blinks an eye

[@Gerrardboss-v2g]

Apartheid actually consolidated all the mixed race people into a new nation . We as the coloured nation have developed our own culture and history through our shared life experience as a unique people , not black not white . We've suffered together the indignities and injustices at the hands of both white and now black . So maybe some good has come out of apartheid .

The majority of coloureds are direct descendants of the KHOI . The initial mixing of different races in the Cape was the foundation of the coloured nation . Only in the 1950s were these mixed race people consolidated into one by the apartheid government .

But yes race is mainly genetics buddy hence colored cannot be considered a race, just like mestizo isn't a race, hell people don't really know my race myself but idiots think iam Mexican or "Muslim", yeah "Muslim" a race i know🤦🏻‍♀️SMFH.

@@jessicaF61985 There is only one race THE HUMAN RACE. Coloureds are an ethnic group established from 1652 in the Cape when slaves of different races where brought from India, Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, Ethiopia to Capetown in 1600's.My point is we are a combination of all above mentioned with European and other ethnic groups in SA. Over 300 hundred years ago. What is confusing about that? We are multi racial and not a combination between "Black" and "White" which are Bi-racial which so many. It seems you are confused.
