The White South African Woman Misidentified As Black (2000)


Sandra Laing: A Spiritual Journey (2000): Sandra Laing was born to white parents in South Africa, but because of her appearance she was identified as black and expelled from school. What followed was a heartbreaking story of a family ripped apart during Apartheid-era South Africa.

  1. her dad has condemned her to so much suffering that could have been avoiding all her life, even afer his death with her feeling like all of this was her fault

  2. This is a silly story with WHITE parents in DENIAL.. She is old enough to do a DNA test.
    PLEASE…..times have CHANGED.
    Sandra move forward 👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉

  3. Only in SA this lady can be called something else than black. All over the world she will be identified as black. Many people in SA have identify crisis because of apartheid. In my family we have people who are lighter than her but black.

  4. Misidentified as Black? Fuck out of here ain't no way 2 white people create 4c hair. That's the audacity of white power instead of saying my wife cheated and daddy black. He just tried to roll her into white privledge

  5. I had a friend that said her husband’s grandmother said there was black in the family. All of her kids were born with curly hair. Her daughter had a kinky patch in the center of her head. But none of them had dark skin. It’s truly hard to believe that she was born not only w/ darker skin, but also with the kinky hair. Speaking from the African-American side, we have all colors in our family. There are a lot of very light-skinned ppl in my family. It’s all genetics, someone in her family was black or biracial & passed for white. It happened all the time. I wish that ppl would be honest with their family. I’m so glad that she was welcomed in the black community & loved. ❤

  6. I believe the father was passing. I dont believe the mother stepped out, if the father was truly white he wouldn't have tolerated biracial babies as a result of his wife stepping out. Based on how the father reacted, he was passing! And his babies showed it.

  7. When genetics plays ugly tricks on us! His paternal grandfather who had to immigrate from Lithuania to South Africa at the end of the 19th century, and his father born in the country did certainly not know that by marrying a Boer woman, the descendants of these unions were of mixed ancestry. The mother did not have the courage to explain this to her husband.

    Originally, the first European settlers: Dutch, French, German, British and Irish, who arrived in South Africa in the 17th century, were not accompanied by European wives. After establishing themselves, they took slaves from Madagascar, Mozambique or India for women or mistresses. If the mixed daughter of a white couple has encountered so many problems, we can imagine what children of mixed couples still have to undergo until today, to the point of still calling themselves the « coloured » they are always left behind, pulled between two clans. It is time to put an end to these considerations of a bygone era.

  8. It's comments like the ones in this thread that made me leave SA. So much racism still boiling underneath the surface. The Group Areas Act was always a farcical law that would never stand up to objective scrutiny, and this woman's case proves it.

  9. She was mix with black her momma had a black boyfriend on the side and her baby brother looks just like her it’s her momma fault had her daddy looking crazy no damn well them wasn’t his kids 😂

  10. This goes to show that we're all related in the end, one human race in different coats in fact we are 99.9% identical in our genetic makeup, racism is the product of a wealthy imperialist system seeking to monopolize its power over those less fortunate and with restricted access to education to deprive them from their human rights leading to their dehumanization and thus creating a system of slavery based on skin color fueled by ignorance. There is no more lethal weapon than ignorance and worse enemy than fear

  11. Thank you for sharing your story. I watch the movie SKIN, that is base on your life. I wanted to find more information about you. You are remarkable, beautifully, wonderfully made in God's eyes. True love has no color. God Bless you. Everybody is somebody and you are somebody to my sister remember that. God Bless you.

  12. Oh my Gad her mother cheated on her husband with a Black man and poor guy fell for her lies! 😂😂😂

    And if she didn't cheat then they stole that child!

  13. The end is very sad, the children moved me. I'm having problems with her mother. Once her husband died you think should would have walked to find her daughter…….but ok.
