	7. Early Days at Tuskegee. Washington, Booker T. 1901. Up from Slavery
		While the coloured people were ignorant, they had not, as a rule, degraded and weakened their bodies by vices such as are common to the lower class of people in the large cities.
		I found that about a year previous to my going to Tuskegee some of the coloured people who had heard something of the work of education being done a Hampton had applied to the state Legislature, through their representatives, for a small appropriation to be used in starting a normal school in Tuskegee.
		The coloured people were overjoyed, and were constantly offering their services in any way in which they could be of assistance in getting the school started.

	Coloured - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But some people who identify as Coloured reject the term “mixed race” on the grounds that it suggests that they are somehow the exception to a general rule of racial purity — an idea not borne out by genetics or history.
		Coloured people largely lost their votes in the 1950s, with the last municipal votes being removed in 1972.
		Coloured people were subject to forced relocation; for instance, the multicultural Cape Town area of District Six was bulldozed and its inhabitants moved to racially-designated sections of the metropolitan area on the Cape Flats.

	Our Struggle Needs Many Tactics
		In 1957 the South African Coloured People's Organisation (SACPO) considered its attitude on the question of the election of four Europeans to represent the Coloured people in Parliament, and decided to boycott these elections as well as the election of 27 Coloured persons to the Union Council of Coloured Affairs.
		Perhaps it is precisely because of its effectiveness and the wide extent to which various organisations employ it in their struggles to win their demands that some people regard the boycott as a matter of principle which must be applied invariably at all times and in all circumstances irrespective of the prevailing conditions.
		Having committed this initial mistake, people who advocate this point of view are invariably compelled to interpret every effort to relate the boycott to specific conditions as impermissible deviations on questions of principle.

	[No title]
		The Coloured community’s subsequent growth and expansion was largely due to, firstly cross-racial unions involving whites and fls and in particular white males and fl females (mainly locals), a process that has come to be known as ‘miscegenation’, and secondly due to the widespread endogamy among Coloureds themselves.
		In 1911, the Coloured population of Zimbabwe was 2 042 and by 1956 it had shot to 8 079, an increase of 295%.
		These figures show that the Coloured population is one of the fastest growing section of the Zimbabwean population mainly due to high birth rate among the Coloureds as well as the incidence of miscegenation especially for the colonial period.

		The coloured ministers think that they know how to preach to their own race better than the white ministers can, and they feel that the whites are taking the work out of their hands.
		As the coloured people have not been educated to read and have not been uplifted, their religion is more of bodily exercise than inward piety.
		And when these people meet those who have no disguise for their corruption, they have so little sense of what constitutes a high and holy character that they are in danger of revealing that they are of a class as degraded as their fellow beings of the Southern States.

		By the same token, though, these same people have not rejected their roots in a particular community, historically classified as "coloured" under apartheid, situated in a particular geographic location, having a traditional way of speaking, and enjoying colourful and exciting cultural practices that have developed over many decades.
		If one examines the voting patterns of the "coloured" community over the years, one is struck by two undeniable indicators: the "coloured" community overwhelmingly rejected, through the very low percentage who participated, the tricameral system of government, while it has liberally participated in the democratic elections since 1994 in significantly greater numbers.
		The ANC government's programmes for housing, poverty alleviation, primary health care and education incorporate "coloured" people as being among the poorest of the poor, along with fl people.

		So there was, there was a coloured wing in the white hospital, but they couldn't mix in the same ward and so I used to work between the white wards and the coloured wards, at the same time I was studying because I did really want to do, go to the university and do medicine.
		They were just the people she knew at parts of the family, part of extended family and she, so it's nice to look back now, yeah, I wonder if my mum didn't die if I would've come to England actually.

		It was changed to "People's" as Abdurahman realised that his followers were more interested in their welfare than in the country's political leadership.
		Second, although the coloured people desired to end apartheid just as much as fl people, public attention both at home and abroad centred more on fls.
		Now that democracy has been achieved, the part played by the coloured people is down-played and we are accorded a much-diminished role in the country's affairs.

		Christ said to the people, "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." Many of the coloured people are unable to read, and as it is necessary to understand the Word of God, it is necessary to teach these people to read.
		We should remember that many among the coloured people who have been entrusted with God-given ability, who had intellectual capabilities far superior to those of the masters who claimed them as their property, were forced to endure every indignity, and their souls groaned under the most cruel and unjust oppression.
		Filthiness is prevalent among the coloured people, and it is a breeder of disease.

	Statement of dissolution of the South African Coloured People's Congress, by Barney Desai and Cardiff Marney, London, ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Our Congress was established to develop the political consciousness of the 1.7 million people of so-called mixed race, to combat racialism amongst them and to link their struggle with the general movement for democracy of the oppressed as a whole.
		It has always been our belief that the destiny of the coloured Africans is indissolubly bound up with the oppressed fl Africans and that there should finally be a unified organisation, cutting across race lines, representing all the enslaved masses of our country.
		As if the Khoi-Khoi (Hottentots) and the Batwa ("Bushmen") tribes as the forebears of the Cape Coloured people were not Africans who were virtually exterminated in the first battles against the European invaders of South Africa 300 years ago.

	Politics of the Cape Flats (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The debate is a rather complex one, but seems to focus on the fears of "coloured" people that they would be marginalised if the African National Congress (ANC) comes to power- something which was certainly re-inforced during the election campaigns of the NP.
		The somewhat extremist articulation of this debate, is that coloureds should be regarded as a separate ethnic group and that, therefore, provision should be made for the coloureds to exercise their rights as an ethnic group.
		This is not a demand for a separate identity, but rather an appeal for the acknowledgement that coloured communities are, in fact, different and that, therefore, mechanisms need to be put in place whereby the fears, desires and hopes of the coloured community can be addressed.

	Ligali \| Me2We \| CRE suggest return to coloured people
		Trevor Philips has suggested that using the label coloured to describe African people is no longer offensive, that the Empire was a force for good and that British people are not naturally racist.
		Racial classification using colour coding was introduced by racist Europeans and actually made legislation in Azania (South Africa) to disinherit African people from their own identities.
		There is absolutely no difference in meaning from the label ‘coloured’ and usage merely indicates that the person using the phrase is either culturally ignorant or lacks pride or in-depth knowledge of their own ancestry and heritage.

		Children born of slaves automatically became the property of the slave owner and thus it was that many of those born as a result of this miscegenation, were exposed to the Christian religion and the culture of their “owners”.
		Because their blood was said to be mixed or “coloured” they were accordingly classified as “Coloureds”, a name that remains until today.
		Discrimination denied many of these people the right to participated freely in social and economic activities, as a result, many moved away from the Cape.

	Natural Fancy Coloured Orange Diamond
		It is not generally realised by most people that coloured diamonds are actually many times rarer than whitish diamonds, and also more valuable, even though somewhat under-rated.
		They don't need to because very few natural fancy coloured diamonds are ever found, perhaps only about one in a million, to actively promote them would be counter-productive because they are already rare and valuable, and they can easily sell all they produce.
		Some colours are high preference colours, for example ask most people their favourite colour, and the standard replies will include blue, red, green, pink, purple, but probably not include brown or grey, even though grey is often a popular fashion choice for clothing for men and women.
