Brown and black unity! much love to the afro mexicans!

[@vatolocosforever803]

Afro-mexicans are still proud of their African roots,, they're not running around looking confused like the ones over here.. afrocentrics are you going to argue with these guys..??

[@Layinsebas]

vato locos forever truth

[@mikeyjames]

They got more pride in their African roots than Jamaicans who deny there’s.

[@emanuelhernandez1701]

Honestly

[@archaicwolf4292]

Can you blame them tho? The only black people in the Americans that kept their African tradition are the ones in Latin America ,Haitians and the Gullah geechee. The rest got their heritage wiped out the white man. Also the racist Eurocentrics scientist during the 1700s pushed out lot of lies about race and history. That’s why they question everything. Black people aren’t the source to all this confusion that’s happening.

[@b1gS0Wh4t]

I understand where you're coming from. Do you have the same sentiment for eurocentric mestizos?

[@JessiVillegasVlogs]

EARS TO HEAR is this verse I dropped look for this comment by ONEKBABY

[@Layinsebas]

Gracias 💪🏾😎

[@awareyah6146]

Global Police No problem but anyway let me know your thoughts about that information on that thread

[@Layinsebas]

Perspicacity bitto most definitely has been doing his homework. I wanna add that many Afrocentrics always put us at the top agenda of us being the original Mayans and olmecs because of our location, outdated methods of identification, and also part of our culture we inherited from our indigenous friend. Don’t fall for that crap. A lot of people have.

[@awareyah6146]

Global Police Leave a comment on that thread brother and let me know what you think about that information but anyway I’m confused about what you’re talking about

Beautiful Slice of History. Another Hidden Gem from Mexico

[@clippertonislander1478]

This was a great story, an inspiration actually. Gracias Mr. Bitto.

[@JuliaIndomita]

Fascinating video. I’ve always greatly admired Spartacus who led a huge slave uprising against Rome, unfortunately unsuccessfully. Gaspar Yanga must have been a great man to plan & execute this uprising, but also to have inspired so many people to follow him into an uncertain future. It’s also amazing how much of his story survived as oral history for so long. Thanks for posting.

[@mexicounexplained]

Thanks for your comments!

[@mexicounexplained]

Some did, as I mentioned in the show, but over the years they were "washed away" and became part of the Mexican mix.

[@RoscoeHouston]

@@mexicounexplained I did a workshop on Gaspa Janga in San Diego Ca in order to stop the clash of Mexican and African American students from fighting each other. The goal was to get them to see that they had more in common so they would stop fighting against one another!

[@mexicounexplained]

Awesome. There are many lessons in the past, that's for sure.

[@nicholasrodriguez4990]

I’ve noticed many of the “Afro Mexicans” in Mexico today look more like Zambos (mixed indigenous and African) then pure West African bantu do you agree Professor?

They remained as slaves and when Mexico became independent in 1822 there was no more slavery in Mexico.

Indigenous Mexicans need to separate themselves from Mestizo & La raza blood they’re Europeans from French & Spaniard decedents they’re not indigenous ethnic group of the America’s . We can use Canelo Alverez as an example

[@benitocanales2427]

And what do u plan to accomplish with that ?

[@Nockturnmortem]

Hey I'm a mestizo, why would you want to separate us from our country fellow?

[@oso3202]

They are mixed. Mixed with European and Indigenous or African blood. Who is pure? none

[@anaz5918]

They have some Indigenous communities in Mexico who don’t consider themselves mestizo and still speak their Indigenous languages and know their indigenous culture. Some of these communities even got autonomy and they self govern themselves without the Mexican government being involved is similar to reservations of Native Americans in the USA.My paternal grandma came from one of those communities but at the end of the day she wasn’t happy there she decided to leave her community to join the rest of the mestizo population and marry my grandfather who is mostly of an European decent.

[@antonius.martinus]

Why do you want to create more separation? We are ALL mexican, regardless of where our DNA came from. Natives were not even native to America, they migrated here as well around the ice age, so...
