| | | | | Coloured: Encyclopedia II - Black people - Who is Black? Because it is a social classification label that cannot be objectively tested, much less replicated, there is no scientific way to identify a "Black" person. Nevertheless, according to their explanations, those who use the label tend to employ three criteria: ancestry, self-identity, and appearance. All three of the criteria can be associated with the attitudes resulting from the slave trade and inter-cultural oppression resulting from the age of European colonization.

| | | | | | Coloured: Encyclopedia II - Tricameralism - South African tricameralism In 1983, South Africa's apartheid government put forward a constitution providing for a tricameral legislature. On 2 November, around seventy percent of the country's white population voted in favour of the changes — black South Africans were not consulted, and under the proposal they continued to be denied representation since in theory they were citizens of independent or autonomous bantustans.
The South African tricameral parliament consisted of three race-based chambers:
House of Assembly — 178 members, res ...

| | | | | | Coloured: Encyclopedia II - Afrikaans - History Afrikaans is linguistically closely related to 17th century Dutch dialects spoken in North and South Holland, and to modern Dutch by extension. Speakers of each language can today make themselves fairly easily understood by speakers of the other. Some find the accents associated with Dutch or Flemish to be softer than Afrikaans (which is sometimes described as gutteral), but there is no general agreement on this, with some Afrikaans speakers ...

South Africa - Pre-history.
South Africa contains some of the oldest archaeological sites in Africa. Extensive fossil remains at the Sterkfontein, Kromdraai and Makapansgat caves suggest that various australopithecines existed in South Africa from about three million years ago. These were succeeded by various species of Homo, including Homo habilis, Homo erectus and modern man, Homo sapiens. Bantu iron-using agriculturists and herdsmen moved south of the Limpopo River into modern-day S ...

| | | | | | Coloured: Encyclopedia II - Blackface - History and the shaping of racist archetypes It is commonly believed that Lewis Hallam, Jr., an Anglo-American comedic actor, brought blackface to prominence as a theatrical device when playing the role of an inebriated black man onstage in 1789. The play attracted notice, and other performers adopted the style. White comedian Thomas D. Rice later popularized blackface, introducing the song "Jump Jim Crow" accompanied by a dance in his stage act in 1828. The song had a syncopated rhythm and purportedly recreated the dancing of a crippled, black stable hand, Jim Cuff, or "Jim Crow", who ...

| | | | | | Coloured: Encyclopedia II - Cape Town - History The area today known as Cape Town was settled by the San and Khoikhoi, collectively known as the Khoisan, long before the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie; VOC) established a supply depot in Cape Town in 1652. By and large the indigenous people refused to deal with the Dutch, so the VOC imported slaves from Madagascar, India, Ceylon, Malaya, and Indonesia to deal with the colony's chronic labour shortage. Over time, with the shortage of women among the colony's settlers, settlers, slaves and the Khoisan int ...
