The reference to 1899 The Philippine War - A Conflict of Conscience for African Americans There's a very special relationship between African American men and Filipino who have been loving Filipino women for over 100 years and also the relationship between African American and Filipino people goes back over 100 years but the pale face didn't want you to know that but that the true. "I FEEL SORRY FOR THESE PEOPLE”: AFRICAN AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN THE PHILIPPINE-AMERICAN WAR, 1899-1902 relationship goes back to the Philippine-American war THE 19TH-CENTURY AFRICAN-AMERICAN SOLDIER WHO FOUGHT FOR FILIPINO LIBERATION Angry at the Treatment of Blacks in the US, in 1899 David Fagan Deserted His Regiment and Became a Household Name Back HomeIn 1899, during a campaign on the island of Luzon to entrap the Filipino revolutionary president Emilio Aguinaldo, a 21-year-old buffalo soldier named David Fagen deserted from the American army. He wasn’t homesick. Young Fagen decided to join the Filipino revolutionaries and quickly took up arms against his former countrymen. In time, he became a guerrilla leader of such renown that his Filipino fighters called him “General Fagen.”Fagen enjoyed a good time. He was a master of stud poker, having regularly relieved his fellow soldiers of several hundred dollars on payday. He was fond of carousals, played the guitar, and lived in the camp with his Filipino wife. He was “often amusing” and voluble, supremely confident, and a natural leader. Fagen even inspired mystery, and controversy, in matters of death. With a reward on his head, he retreated to the desolate Pacific coast. In December 1901, a Filipino hunting party brought in a moldering head and Fagen’s effects, claiming they had killed the renegade. The army announced Fagen’s death and hundreds of newspapers covered the story. Only the English-language Manila American made a mockery of the Army’s account of Fagen’s killing, but that story went unreported in America and was entirely overlooked until I recently discovered it. In the end, Fagen was not a central military player in the war; the region where he fought was of secondary importance in terms of the larger struggle. But he is important as an African-American who took up arms against a country racist to the core and bent on empire at the expense of dark-skinned people. As a revolutionary officer and later as a bandit leader, Fagen confounded the American whites. He not only challenged their supremacist assumptions; he also mocked them, defiant in the face of the noose and the burning stake. Take care and God bless

Im a black woman living abroad and it made me feel really validated that you said some places people stared or bothered you so much you didnt want to leave your hotel... that happens to me sometimes where I am now in mexico, because I think I´m the first black person many people have seen. So sometimes I dont feel like even leaving to get things I need. Just saying it made me feel validated to hear this! moving to belize next month.

I'm so genuinely happy to see more and more black women travelling the world! As a woman traveller, you unfortunately have to take safety into consideration, and even more as a black woman! It is the sad world we're living in, so thank you sister to share your experience ❤ my only regret is that so few African countries are pictured on those lists. Let's make the African continent also benefit from black travellers business!

Japan is pretty amazing too. I stayed in Chikugo for 6 weeks and I went everywhere alone, never felt in danger. the only weird thing is some students wanted to take a picture with me because they'd "never seen a black person in Japan before" LOL they especially love you if you speak Japanese, it shows that you are interested in the culture and immersion. You'll always get a few people that stare especially in the rural areas (my favorite) because they've only seen us on TV mostly (what I was told when I inquired)

My best friend for twelve years has been begging to come visit for awhile and I was a little worried going over there to visit. But after see your video and saying the people in the Philippines are really nice and friendly. Now i can relax little. Don't worry i'm not going to stay in Manila. I'm going to Lucena City, Philippines. It in the Quezon province in the lower part of Luzon. It also the city capital of the Quezon province.

Very interesting topic and great list of unassuming countries that mostly mind their own business. Loved it when,surprisingly,Mexico came out on top and I'm a pinkish Anglo-Irish! I,too, house sat in Mexico a few years ago, in Ajijic on Lake Chapala and loved it. Very calm and accepting. No hassles. Great weather too. It wasn't quite as nice when I returned recently. But that was mostly due to the expats, not Mexico. Nice video.

While experiencing workplace mobbing in Canada (hospital setting), it was the Catholic Filipinos who had the most difficulty pretending to be mean to go along with the others. One Filipina lady world even come confide in me - when no one was around to see her speaking to me of course. This world is nothing but reflecting our own beliefs back to us at all times. Love yourself and each other. Remain welcoming to your self - shoulders back and spiritual heart center open. Wide. Watch your life transform. Thank you kindly for your interesting video.

I, now live in beautiful Valencia, Spain and I love it. Perhaps you will visit there one day. Another country I would recommend to you is Singapore. It is one of the most beautiful and modern city/state I have ever seen. I visited there 5 times. It is very expensive to live unless you get a job teaching English there.

I returned to the US... ONLY because of elderly parents. After a few years of elder care, I eventually bought a small farm outside of a college town (not digging the city life anymore)...but it's still Amerikka. My compromise is to find a Black-friendly country to visit and stay awhile (1-2 months). Thanks for the scoop on Portugal. It was on my list to research.
