Gedig Oor Coloureds- deur Ricardo Wildskut

Talentvol en unique
Os het ook style en is baie kleurvol
Os mense kan ook leiers wees!

Moety jou geluk bou op n Coloured se ongeluk nie!
Jy is n boorling van die indigenous stam Nama en Khoi!

Hier in die Kaapse Koningkryk!

Niemand ka os meer onnedruk!
Jy kan os ma vermaak vir n werk en os mense teen mekaar maak vir n posisie as ward councillor of supervisor.
Os gan die stryd wen

Die Bruinkind sal nie vir ewig stil bly in die gekraakte strate vannie kaapse vlaktes nie!!!

 Os kan oek saamstaan!!!

Os kan oek die strate laat brand, os kan oek saamstaan, os het alreeds kampies begin bou!!!
Os is nie bang, os ken seer kry en hongerly!!!

Wees geduldig

Wees Maar still, jy wie Gelukkig is op n Coloured se ongeluk.
Os weet tog die bybel s
ê God is Altyd daar vir die gebroke Harte.
Hy wat lei, hy wat swaarkry in sy geboorteland!

Hy wat hulle lag voor. Hy sal die lekkerste en hardste lag.
Coloured Bruinkind, stammeling van 'n nasie skrik wakker want
môre is dit Jy.

K
ô os lag ma liewers 'n bietjie en vergeet van die treur.

Ja os kry te min erkentenis en rekenskap.

Maar os bloed en grafte van os voorvaders lê dan die hele Suid-Afrika vol!

Bly wakker. Bly biddened.

Skeiding is wat eeue gelede gewerk het.

Om mense te verdeel is die sleutel tot iemand se sukses.

Moenie toelaat dat 'n moderne kolonie ons verder regeer nie.

We have to start a movement whether we from any background or ethnic group. The purpose should be to identify our roots and give us coloureds , Khoi, Nama , Cape Malay or Bantu a true an identity to be recognised for the next +100 years . Let’s go to work and change the narrative of being average. Change black tax and also change the mindset of : winning is not everything! Let’s start by saying winning is the ONLY thing!!! I respect every comment and advice I receive, let’s START the movement please!!!!

Wat ek interessant vind is hoe ons onself identifiseer volgens 'n besondere stamlyn. And that is about the extent of the Afrikaans I'd like to risk in public. But what i mean is I find it interesting how we all (and i acknowledge that we all have this right to do so) identify with whichever ancestry we feel comfortable with, whether it is First Nation people like you point out, the Nama and Khoi, or Malay, or Bantu or European. But surely the truth is that by our very definition as Coloureds who have evolved over more than500 years, there are very few of us, if any who can claim pure bloodlines back to a particular ancestry. Surely we are all an eclectic mix of all of the above? Of sit ek die pot mis? Comments please
