So in my family my two younger brothers are ... so, from my mother's second marriage.

So I'm still the only person in my family that looks like this, so my mom is (an) African woman, black Xhosa woman.

My father is Swiss, from Switzerland, so he's a white man.

I look like this and then my mom remarried a black man, so my brothers don't look like me either, right.

I remember what was really beautiful was, my brothers, we always spoke about this stuff.

So my parents, they were like, yeah, different dads.

My brother, one day, I pick him up from school, right.

He was like, he was really young at the time, it was like, maybe like something, he was nine, maybe 10 years old, and he gets in the car and he's like, he's just deflated.

He gets in the passenger seat and fastens his seatbelt, and I'm like, what's going on, Isaac?

Tell me more and then he's like, I just, eh (smacking lips), I just don't know what to do with kids, Trevor.

You know, like, today one of my friends said, ooh, are we walking home?

Then, I said, no, my brother's picking me up.

Then, now when we're walking, he sees you in the car.

Then, he says, ah, but how can your brother, how can your brother be white?

I'm gonna have to go through this, so then I'm like, so, so what did you say to him?

Like, I had to explain it the way kids understand.

He said, I just say to him, I said, Zweli,

You've got to understand people are like chocolates, okay?

Like, like you can have a white chocolate, and you can have a dark chocolate, and you can have a milk chocolate, but it's all Nestle, okay?
