On Why Mexicans Should Not Use The N Word // Alejandro Jimenez  

Accidentally clicked on this, but watched the whole thing. Super great!!!

“They invest in your failure more than your success.” Powerful.

Great. This is so moving and true. His passion is beautiful.

Vicente Guerrero was an amazing hero. First black president in Mexico, who abolished slavery. Long live my Black and Mexican people.

Gave me chills, much love to my Black and Mexican people. They are scared of us uniting 🙏🏽🤟🏽💯

this one made me cry

Alejandro is from my hometown of Hood River Oregon. His poetry is so powerful.

I listen to this over and over and over. It breaks me down but then it invigorates me in the end.

that raw emotion through language is powerful.

I agree 100%. We shouldn't use the N word. 💯

This made me cry

Idk how many times I listened to this. Put so well into words and just over 3 minutes.

God bless you. Woke up to this this morning. Dallas Texas loves you.

Yes!! So beautiful 🙌

Powerful!!!

Much Love!!!! For real God bless

Da homie from Denver!! One of the illest poems ever and so poignant and true.

I randomly have the need to hear this poem

Touch my heart paisano👍😃👍

This awesome i love the message they will never win this battle if we unity and bring down injustice for those that they killed and that will be killed

We are biblical brothers SAME SEEDLINE.

This legit made me cry. Review over. It was fucking beautiful!

Thank you 🎉🎉❤

youre a beast bro with spoken word. keep killing it. I got goosebumps listening to it

Beautiful poetry!

These lands our native lands.

Beautiful words

Wanted to show this to my student's but I can't bc of the two curse words. I understand it's power though. I teach 8th graders otherwise I might be able to bypass but parents here are very sensitive.

Sept 2020, make this relevant again 🙏🏼

He did all that for just for Edgar’s to still say it. It’s gotta be a Chicano cultural shift for that to happen.

This made me cry!!!!

Chingón carnale…✊🏾

Facts omg I’m tired of hearing the N word !!!!!! Just because it says it in a song don’t mean you can say it smh stop it !

Emiliano Zapata Is not African did he say he was African did you read his Lifestyle did he ever say his mom,dad, grandfather, or grandmother was African he is Mexican

🙏❤

(snapping fingers!!!)

Amen true true

Wow 😢😮❤

Amen

❤️❤️❤️

BLACK LOVE, BROWN PRIDE

That's right my brother were are one black and brown

Vicente Guerrero fue el primer presidente negro?

All love to ppl... Zapata wasnt black he was mestizo...

One thing!!!! Their's no ignorance to the spoken truth. Please believe this....Just ignorant people who don't know nor want to know the truth....Speak the truth....Know the TRUTH. REAL HISTORY

We aint the same

I wonder do Mexicans still think they're why??

Why am I just watching this

Zapata was part black? I never read anything about that.

I don't think i agree with this. There's a huge difference with a Mexican casually calling a black person the n word, and a black person calling a Mexican a "Dirty Mexican". I grew up in the hood and i say the n word with my black friends and their family, and they are all fine with me saying it. It really just depends on the context and how your using it. Obviously if you're a Mexican using it in a disrespectful and negative way with a black person, they're gonna call you a Mexican slur in return, it's just common sense.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

Today a student used the N word in my class, and all I could think of were these words.

we are the same, just look different

Come on man teach

People in the comment section clearly have listening comprehension problems

i think he just said why we CAN say that

so can mexicons say nigga i’m black just wondering someone said nigga to me and they were mexican

Zappata wasn’t half black , get facts right s🤦🏻‍♂️

Yes

Anyone have the lyrics to the poem?

Spoken word

Emiliano Zapata was not part black, he was mestizo

I have a question?what if a Hispanic says the n word what will happen

Except that Emiliano Zapata was NOT black or mixed.

Sounds like a dictator trying to divide us more

That’s Right. We are the true Israel.

Don’t care what y’all say but Mexicans or other race shouldn’t say the N word . I’m Mexican/Puerto Rican and I don’t use the N word at all I be saying bro” Güey” or Papi” I know here in Cali I hear it a lot and I just try not to be bother when I hear people say it. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Where my Ayala’s at?

nah my nigga , we still using that word ,

i don’t see the correlation lmao

And how fault wasn't that introduced this? Black culture and rap music. Many young Mexican kids listening to rap music and shit if blacks would have known better they could at least talk to these kids about it.

Word should be abolished. I do t like to hear it at all.

We are not the same. Your ancestors were not brought here from Africa forced into chattel slavery. Although you have your own issues with America. We are not the same. Its no hate but its boudaries .

you just gave the reason/excuses why we can 🤦🏽‍♂️, black and brown went through almost the same thing

Zapata wasn’t black he was indigenous

We will… 🙏🏾🤴🏾🤴🏻❤️❤️👶🏻👶🏾❤️ ❤🧕🏼🧕🏽🙏🏽 Ezekiel 37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, 👈🏽and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, 👈🏾and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.” King James 🤴🏾Version (KJV)

I tot

😂 he just said a whole lotta of nothing

Mexicans can say it. The context matters

Coems on naga

Im sorry man but the amount of breathing he does is hard to pass by.

Yeah. Is Mayan and Aztec “human sacrifice” factual?

My dude was only saying reasons why we CAN say it

For the record Emiliano Zapata was not part black.

Sorry bro I was born in ruff streets and I was broken and I went through struggles plus not my fault I was bien where they say it

Oh he's being serious? I thought this was going to be a comedy routine. Lame

Bruh it's ain't nobody dropping the hard r...we say nigg@....
