Guerrero was not an elected president, he was president by a coup, his presidency lasted for only 8 months, he was betrayed by the Creoles, his own blood line. Even today, modern day historians debate if his presidency was even legitimate. The official name of the state of Guerrero, is Estado Guerrero de Juárez. Benito Juárez is the National hero of Mexican presidents. Juarez is the only full Native from the Zapotec tribe to be the President of a country in the Americas. The name of the state of Guerrero was changed in the honor of Juarez. Being creatures of habit, it's still just called Guerrero. The African is only 1.4 of a population of over 130 million in Mexico. The USA likes to talk these regions up like its Africa, but the African is the minority. The combined Asian population, is overwhelming compared to the Africans. The Afros are concentrated in certain areas, but they are definitely the minority. The Indeginous, Asian, Meztizo populations, is overwhelming compared to the African. These ppl r so obsessed with skin color and race, they don't have the capacity to grasp the science and they lack the capacity to be respectful of others place in world history. The Black ppl from Africa don't do this, they are very respectful of others contributions to world history. Only the USA Black culture vultures do this, it's pathetic! The African is also the minority in South America, the combined Asian, Indeginous and Meztizo is also overwhelming in South America. The USA is such a bust with skewing world history.
And thats how black traditions are from the beginning of time. So glad its being exposed now. Its a wonderful thing. I from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and we were taken from Africa to everywhere.....and now were freeing ourselves through travel and meeting each other. That is powerful
Black natives were/are the natives of America way before slavery I am mix just like my husband but I black hair you know is in my DNA. I love seeing us talking more about this💚🧘🏻♀️My black mixed husband people think he is a Mestizo which he is because the transformation is a mix baby people swear he Mexican.😆😆🇲🇽🇺🇸💚🪴
@@Tropicalartpagan Blacks are not indigenous to the Americas, you have to understand that the reason a group of people may look black is because of the amount of Homosapien DNA they possess, they certainly aren't African, what makes you African is having recent ancestry there like the majority of Slave descendants, you have to understand once upon a time there were multiple human races that mixed to create modern races, thus even though two black people may look the same they genetically may not be related at all, same goes for Indigenous American groups.
I love how the internet / modern technology, is being used for good! It opens up secrets that let us know how black people live/lived in other parts of the world, that you would have never known.❤🎉
@cplhazard2113 you need to educate yourself before you try to teach others. The people that are featured are mostly of African descent. And they will tell you so. Spain brought in slaves and workers of various ethnicities. These are mostly their descendants. Many are mixed with the indigenous, Spanish and French. There are also other Black communities that where founded by escape slaves from the U.S. because Mexico freed and outlawed slavery before the U.S. And after slavery more moved there.
These types of things need to be taught at an earlier age. Idk how you lived in Mexico a whole year and didn’t get any inkling about this. Black Americans need to start questioning everything, everywhere you go in the world there is always a group of people somewhere tucked away who look similar to you phenotypically!
@@soulspirationgoddess probably didn't hear about because I didn't ask && I'm not from there.. I would've never thought this 11 yrs ago. I was just trying to be safe! Not wonder around in unknown territory.
Good job on informing that Mexico is very diverse in culture and ethnicities. This they don't show on U.S. news they only report the bad news. Keep it up Yarbrough's👍🏾👍🏻🇲🇽
there you have it a Mexican claiming his “blackness” we are everywhere thank you for confirming what i have been studying/reasearching as true your morena sister from the usa thank you costa chica ❤🎉
You guys would fit in anywhere with your amazing energy. So cool that you found this Afro culture and I know they were excited to have you! This piece of pita bread is a bit challenged here but after they know me, I’m in the club. It helps that I’m from Texas and already know and feel right with culture at home in Mexico. I’m secretly hoping Mexico is still your fave country so far. Much love - Max
Yes I as a black American would love to visit here!! & Go for a long time too!!.. I long for this type of love from my people that's all over the world!...I bet the food is amazing too...
A few years ago, the President of Mexico went to a celebration in the region....he invited Martin Luther King III to accompany him ....the people were so glad to see them .....kudos to Obama for getting President Calderon to include race in MX census to address the inequalities they face.....
Felipe Calderón was one of the most ruthless worms this country has ever had, created a war with the cartels out of the blue and raised violence 200%, he is a far wing politician who I guarantee you is racist as hell, considering all the actions he took against the people in southern Mexico. Nobody likes Calderón here.
Yes…some of our people ran away from slavery and escaped into Mexico, while millions of captured Africans were brought to Mexico (including Veracruz) to work as slaves for the Spanish; still others traveled to Mexico from Africa. I’m glad you all had a good time; cannot wait to see the video.
Partiatly thru, they were salven in new spain, as soon as mexico won his independence the slavery was abolished and the last slaves were free 5 years later.
I’m Mexican American and I did one of those ancestries test and it said I had some west African ancestry. The African ancestry wasn’t a lot, I think like 10%, but I had no idea I had any Africa ancestry.
Mexican american , como esta esto ? Todos los países que están en el continente Americano somos americanos jejejej😅 eres mexicano y también americano por que vives en el continente americano, dice dios que los tibios los vomita , eres mexicano o eres de estados unidos ? Pero americanos somos todos los del continente americanos no sólo los de Estados Unidos.
@guillermojosuevilchis los Americanos son gente de Estados Unidos. Tal vez eres latino americano, centroamericano o sudamericano o carribeno. Todo el mundo accepts que gente de Estados Unidos son los únicos Americanos. Ni los Canadenses se dicen a ellos mismos Americanos. Tal vez se dicen norte americanos.
Most black Americans have a small amount of Native DNA as well. Seems to be a connection. Especially given recent discoveries, our history together may go back much further than we previously thought.
This probably comes from the slave trade. And then after. The Spanish over lords taught the people that they were less than. People where taught to hate and be ashamed of there native American and African blood. The people that where mixed and could pass didn't even teach there children about it. And many where the most prejudice.
Tried to get there when I was in Acapulco a LONG time ago. NOBODY acknowledged that this place existed. In fact if I didn't speak Spanish, I would have been ignored for being Black there Glad the light is being shown on this very important group of people and their history
This is so interesting. I come from a family who resented our Mexican heritage. It was not acknowledged when I was growing up and asking questions about it would get shut down. I know I have family in Oaxaca that I’ve never met and would love to someday connect with them and heal that generational wound
We are not descendants of Africa! We been here! We are the descendants of The Olmec, Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas. We are Indigenous to the America's, and our continent, pyramids, and mummies are way older than Africa. Our continent isnt called Turtle Island for no reason💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Growing up in Mexico black or white or asian made no difference to me because they spoke spanish like me . When i experienced the difference when my father brought me here and go to school because of my brown skin color and being mexican but im ok because i like my brown skin . Whats up with the skin color i think is ignorance. ❤❤❤
I'm FROM ACAPULCO PORT OF MEXICO!!..my siblings are white skin,,but me!!😂😂.so they call me NEGRO,..and many black people are in my BEAUTIFUL STATE OF GUERRERO MEXICO!!..
Now you know in Veracruz too, they everywhere. The Mayans, Aztecs and Olmecs were/are black we are a big ass family!😂😂😎keep looking😆😆 My American husband is a Mestizo meaning a mix baby people swears he is Mexican.
Yes, I met black Mexicans in Mexico City and in the state of Quintana Roo. I was treated wonderfully by the Mayans. Yes we’re everywhere. Always wanted to go back!
@@miamyself9897They feed you for free??😁😆😎😏😏😏😎 My people will always cut fresh lemons/limes to make you a fresh lemonade and I bet you the children made you your drinks!😂☺️😎We are like this, children are responsible and very respectful.
Aztecs,Mayans WERE not black there indigenous To Mexico aka Native American they looked nothing like black people u sound dum 🤣🤣btw I’m Mexican I’m tired of ppl saying we black cuz we’re not but a small percent Mexicans are mostly mixed of Native American and Spanish decent
Africans were in Mexico at the same time as the Spanish. It’s insane the Spanish who colonized and destroyed Mexico are seen as heroes but the black Africans who helped the indigenous have been ostracized 😢
This is cool, also i think we should start inviting black people to our bbqs 😂. They dont feel connected 😢. Mexico is cool ❤. Im learning spanish, cant wait to go
I learned about the black Mexican on a history programme on one of our Radio stations in Jamaica. It wasn't entirely strange to me considering the slave trade in Africans,. All the Americas were involved in the exploitation of our people. Including countries like ARGENTINA. Chile,and Ecuador etc🙄😮😢
Yuppppp I knew this the Minute I met my mixteco ex husband and saw that beautiful darker tan that just has a complete different undertone glow to it and that thick dense deep wavy hair
others in mexico literally mistake them for puerto rican bc of their brown color and their treated differently they say it… and also no one is saying they’re mexican or their african there saying their BLACK
Porque afro mexicanos, afros americanos? Son simplemente del país donde nacieron, mexicanos, puertorriqueños, panameños nunca escuchó decir afro brasileño, afro francés, afro inglés
Mi hermosa gente se Guerrero, lo unico malo es que en algunas partes el narco esta peleando entre ellos y lo hace mas inseguro. Si no seria mejor aun para visitar por los hermanos afro-mexicanos.
That’s why that specific area (costa chica/grande) is the lowest part in Mexico 😂😂 they’re accepted amongst us, but they’re still the lowest in the Mexican chain.
Please don't use labels in Mexico. Mexico and most South America countries don't describe ppl by their skin color. Just say all humanity is welcomed. This Afro Mexican title is being used to much, you are in Mexico as a guest, please respect their culture.
@@gustavocardenas6044You don't label huh. I bet the wealthy Mexicans , the descendants of white Spaniards have no trouble labeling. I never see white Hispanics at the border. I wonder why?
Now that’s a damned lie. Afro Mexicans have been ostracized in Mexico and you know it. Heck! They weren’t even included in the census til a few years ago. My mestizo Mexican gf was counseled by her grandparents before leaving Mexico to the USA …to not mix with Blacks when they get there. And when her sister..who was the lightest in complexion of the 5 children her mother had ..married and had kids with an African American.. they disowned her! One has only to look at how Celia Cruz (singer from Cuba) played deplorable roles on Mexican TV to see how Mexicans view black people. Always a witch or some heck! Plus..Remember LA Council description of the Oaxacans? Los feos..Who do Mexican Americans side with against African Americans in prison? The Aryans. If you’re not prejudiced..you won’t be offended. Facts are facts. Look it up!! It’s not a secret. Go to Vera Cruz too…and Guatemala, Honduras, Roatan, Nicaragua, Equador, Peru. Black folks tend to be on the coasts .. even in Argentina. We love you cousins. Stay strong!💪🏾💪🏿💪🏽❣️
