Mexico's Unknown Black Community (#5) 

I noticed that too! Like, don’t objectify my freind like that guero!

That was beautiful! I think that on the hand, a car is just an assembly of metal, rubber and strange fluids put together, right! I can repair it or just junk it; on the other hand, a donkey can't be repaired, just be taken care of, [ he/she] will become your friend. That is an understatement, because a donkey can help a lot! I guess, that goes with your dog, your horse, ecetera.

Could be lovers

What if I told you that he said that it was just an animal and he was telling it to be calm. This guy an his channel, he has known idea what he is doing the transition is completely off I have family in this town and what he is saying is completely off. Just another European trying to rewrite history with absolutely no idea of what hes talking about.

Right because it was such a dumb question

Yep, that's been the DOWNFALL of our people countless times throughout history.

@@carlanickerson true

That's how they got colonized and replaced

@@nakeyaguy1364 It's not like the people who were approaching were rich as shit with all types of weapons for killing!?

It’s kinda sad how we were taught how dangerous Mexico is. I’ve been a few times and they are beautiful spirits, hard working family people. I’m glad ppl are waking up. Now I think our government didn’t want us to know the truth for whatever evil reasons.

Lmao your delusional

Lies

That’s why the Bible reference about his people being captive and enslaved throughout the world. We’re the chosen ones, the heathens time is up👏🏽👍🏽!

Not me FUCK family give me the money I'll make my own family..

@@timothyallen6766 I tried that. Im now in my 40s and still with no lineage and now I have grown kids searching, wondering and asking questions I cant answer.

@@alterego924 dont let that hold you back from the family u have now ,somtimes we can lose focus by being distracted by things we cant change when whats important has been right in front of you the whole time..

@Sluggz thats a FACT fam where are u from ?

Strangely poverty keeps family going while technology and money splits it apart .There is richness in not finding what one hopes for .

horses and mules are very gentle and can weigh from 900 to 2,000 lbs depending on the bread that easily kill a full grown man.

Maybe because of our indigenous ancestors we loved nature and its animals one thing about us is we always liked to keep nature in its natural form not like nowadays where we constantly destroy nature for technology or paper or other stuff

, Thank you for sharing these beautiful videos be safe 😷✌🏾

this is awesome bro! im a sociologist, your videos are basically ethnogrographies ! great content!

TONSSSS in Guerrero

Yanga is an interesting town because was founded by "cimarrones" that means black people who fled from slavery, actually Yanga is the name of a black heroe who freed several people.

All along Costa Chica en Guerrero and Oaxaca there are people who is of black descendants. No surprise there. In fact, 30 years ago, I had a girlfriend from Juchitán Oaxaca. Beautiful girl! I hope she's happy and healthy...

That’s because back in colonial times they could intermarry with the natives and their kids would not be born slaves, Mind you at one point their was more Africans in Mexico than Meztizos, And the natives were still recovering from the diesases brought by Europeans, Had they chosen not to intermarry Mexico would have a solid black population.

@@BernieSanders-bn5dk That's cap many indigenous people survived because they fled to the mountains, canyons, and other isolated areas away from their cities. When a black slave led a resistance, the Spanish granted him freedom and those who lived in their new village free as well. During the resistance many of them would have died so the remaining ones would have to rely on the indigenous communities to help them survive. Just like Europeans did not know how to grow food in North America they relied on the natives to teach them, the same happened with these afro communities who would have relied on the neighboring indigenous communities to teach them how to grow corn and beans etc. Also there are 2 communities in Mexico that did not intermarry so they are full african but they are the minority compared to communities that did.

@@mystermont2019 cool, here's an excerpt I don't care too argue your disrespect on Mexican history, " history professor Dr. Rhonda M. Gonzales, asserts that Afro-Mexicans outnumbered Spanish and Mestizos in urban towns. She claims that, “[b]y 1646, the numbers increased to 116,529 for Afro-Mexicans and 35,089 for those African identified. It is clear that the number of children from mixed unions accounted for much of the growth. African-descended populations thus comprised 8.8 percent, compared to Spaniards and their descendants, who comprised 0.8 percent in 1646.” Applying Gonzales’ assertions to an urban area such as San Phelipe el Real possibly explains that the land-owning Spaniards may have been feeling the increased need to dilute the concentration of the enslaved Afro-descendant population by the 1730’s when Zabala was writing. It seems then a reasonable deduction that legislators would seek to encourage legal marriage between the enslaved Afro-descendants and the mestizo populations in an attempt to avoid an overconcentration of the enslaved Afro-descendant population in San Phelipe el Real, even if it meant creating contrast between human rights and civil liberties. "

i come with you beautiful

And to make matters worse when you black Americans travel to other countries you want to promote black extremism and black racism to other people about white people and how bad they are as if you guys are so good

@@ccbnmcdubb8304 perhaps you had a specific with ONE African American that led you to believe that, but the type of African American that is not a tourist and goes overseas does not generally behave that way. Please refrain from ignorant generalizations.

@@sonjalivingston8241 on the contrary Sonia I've traveled to a lot of places and that is exactly the type of black American who travels overseas especially the ones that like to go into Africa and spread their hate and their ignorance to Africans Africans by Nature are not like black Americans and I do not like to see black Americans going to places like Africa and South America Etc trust me it's not just one I've seen many I will generalize on black Americans because black Americans generalize on everybody else

@@ccbnmcdubb8304 I already knew the part about Africans not liking to see African Americans in Africa, but I though it was just from all the stereotypes hyped in the media. Again, are we talking about tourists or the people who go there to live? Personally, I don't like to see that either overseas or here in the USA; it is an embarrassment to the rest of us.

@@ccbnmcdubb8304 I'm one of many African Americans I know that don't generalize on everyone else, despite the fact that I have experienced racism and discrimination here since childhood. We have chosen not to generalize on the basics of specific people that we have encountered, as that would completely jade us about everyone on the categories of those specific people. That is unhealthy an builds needless anger and resentment

There is no more mix of all people of the world moreso black aka Africans then in the USA ...

It's not because of colorism. In Mexico and most Latin American countries everyone is mixed. In the same families you will have black, brown, and white. The racism that existed in the US didn't exist in Mexico and Central America. Every Latino has DNA of all three groups European, Black and Native American. In Mexico the genetic contribution is higher on the Native American side, lower on on the European and even lower on the African. In contrast, in the Dominican republic the genetic contribution is higher on the African, lower on the European and even lower on the Native American. Then in Argentina is higher on the European, lower on the Indian and even lower on the African. Depending on the overall genetic makeup of the population that determines how the people look. In Mexico people look like Native American, in Dominican Republic they look Black and white in Argentina. But they all have all 3 racial makeup. You also need to remember that Mexico has over 120 million people, 1 million having African roots is still a pretty low number and the part is they are not all concentrated in specific regions with some very few exceptions that's because people were not segregated from each other. Blacks mixed. They took Indian partners and sometimes white European Spanish. In my family we have all colors and mixes. We don't defined ourselves by the American or European standard on race which is very foolish when you tried to apply it to a society that wasn't segregated or kept oppressed like they did in the United States.

@@blackgoldentertainmentchan4892 the majority of people of color in America have an ethnic mix of at least 25% or more like you mentioned whether they "look" like it or not or accept it due to colonization. My family looks like the United Nations as well with various hues of skin, body types, and mostly wavy hair textures and globally it doesn't matter whether one defines themselves by the American or European standard since race was and still is a social construct. Slavery, eugenic practices, those who procreated with other groups willingly or unwillingly, those who "passed" as the majority, as well as physical displacement will continue to be the manner in which the determining factor in how a person "sees" or places value on another. Having family, friends, and colleagues from various ethnic backgrounds and cultures etc; the one constant be it locally or globally is the skin currency that lighter skin has afforded others and it's relation to beauty, desirability, value, and whether or not you're perceived as a threat. Be that as it may, there's NOTHING foolish about applying it since generations upon generations of people were under social hygiene laws, mainstream perceptions of beauty and cleanliness, in addition to who was labeled as the working class on a global scale whether one was segregated or not or what their native tongue was. There's a horrible caste system in India based on skintone where one is considered "dusky" or a "darkie" if the skin is more tan since that denotes that you work outside and you don't have the preferred more milky complexion of Aishwarya Rai. Alot of Latinos who were never endlaved don't claim the African diaspora in their mix although we know it exists and lighter skin is favored in Asian culture as well. I've had the extensive conversations regarding racial identity etc with these individuals so I didn't pull it out of the air and getting it straight from the horse's mouth holds more weight and value than perception since it's often not the reality. Regardless of origin, disparaging remarks are still made about the texture of people's hair, facial features, and origin and since I know what I and others have experienced coupled with the scholarly research, it's quite foolish to negate that colorism doesn't exist everwhere because it's very much alive and well. While it's ideal and healthy for us to define ourselves, others do so quite negatively which is most unfortunate.

It’s sad that you perceive that they are invisible in Mexico, they’re not. Even Vicente Guerrero was the first AfroMexican President, the state of Guerrero was named after him.

@@goforit321 it's NOT perception but it's sad when groups within a groups' blood line are treated and viewed differently and this treatment came directly from them. It's worse when people don't want to believe one's personal experience and spoken truth but I digress. Peace

@@blackgoldentertainmentchan4892 no not everyone is mixed in latin America.

I remember seeing Dr Gates DOCUMENTARIES.

I watched all the episodes in Nigeria like 6/7yrs ago.

Yeah but he hides truth and won't get into the black people of ancient Mesoamerica.

Yeah he did, he visited Veracruz for a bit but went across to the other coast and visited communities in Guerrero that we're also established hundreds of year's ago by enslaved black ppl in Mexico

I would love to visit.

I lived in a small town in Mexico, three hours from the border and that's where I experienced the finger pointing and laughing at me. I felt so "othered" my boyfriend who was Mexican had to threaten a few people for the way they were acting towards me. These people were not use to seeing anyone who doesn't look like them, much like small town people in America too.

I am a new subscriber to your channel. I love what you are doing showing that my people are everywhere . I feel so proud that these locals are accepting the fact that they are black. Unlike the ppl of Dominican republic and Puerto Rico where the dark in one's say they are not black they are Hispanic. Have you done any videos of blacks in DR or Puerto Rico?. I am from a tiny island called Dominica. Sometimes mistaken for Dominican republic. But I live in the US

@@aurorarene9909 thats weird.. Mexico has a lot of white people too

@@1fault Mexico has a lot of white people. And it all depends on where you live as to whether you'll get the strange looks. It's the same as small town America. These people in small towns anywhere can be very tribalistic. I fit in perfectly in Puerto Vallarta where I live for several months. I don't like that many whites own everything there. But going to a small, depending on where it is, you might have a different experience. I love Mexico. It's a big country made up of many states and it definitely can't be painted with a broad brush. Each state, city, are different. When I stayed in Guanajuato, many weren't mean or gave me weird looks, they just weren't as friendly. I loved Guadalajara when I went for a summer study abroad program in 1993. I lived with a Mexican lady--it was there where I was lavished with so much attention from older women and Mexican men. I've never been kissed so much. They were enamored with my black skin. And the guys came on to me more than the other white girls I went with. And they made it known to me that all the guys liked me. But it was like I was a purple bird amongst all yellow birds. I was different they are used to seeing Mexican women and white women, but not black women. It was an amazing experience. I want to go to Oaxaca next.

Is it me or did I not see any black person 😅

It's just more refined in america

America is a continent.

We were never the aggressor, thank the European for the quest of world domination!

@DEBBIE PUMPHERY Adam and Eve 💙👏🏽! They don’t know we are the only race that can make multi colored different hair colors and eyes children as a black couple lol! These fools are looney. Just yesterday I read about a white supremacist who found out he had 14% African (black) dna lol. He was heartbroken 💔 to find out the truth. Look like a pure blooded European with black blood ain’t that some isghhhh lmao. We are Gods chosen ones the real Jews and Israelites…….

But over here in the states Mexican tells you…. ‘Oh no,in Mexico black people doesn’t exists’ !! 😐

No true many are there just in different places.

@@analuisatorres1562 Really! That's because they are ignorant of their history. Actually, one in four Mexican has Black blood but you would never know because of the race mixing.

@@pic376 because of La Raza that's why tell da Truth

Oh please. People of color were the first people on this planet. All peoples started in Africa and migrated. Jesus was black. That's why he was hated. That's why all black people are hated. If you are black, you should know this if you are NOT, start studying and come into the light.

No such thing as Afro European

Lmfao afro WHAAAAT? 😭🤦🏾

Sigo aprendiendo y explorando todos los días..

Afro community in México is only 1.4 percent, it is a tiny community in a very large country of 130 million people! It's very possible that a lot of Mexican ppl don't know about this community. USA ppl with their racial paranoia, always has to look at things thru skin color, and turn things into an ugly racial thing! They are so pitiful!! His words seem to be leading into a racial thing, so pathetic!

YES ITS A SHAME THAT AFRICANS ENSLAVED OTHER BLACKS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS THEN DECIDED TO SHIP US TO OTHER CONTINANTS !!

Very good POINT AND well SAID 👌 thanks
