Mexico's Black History | What You'll Never Learn In School

[@frisco9568]

I love how much exposure you’re giving this topic to the world. People in the US need to know that Mexico has African history and it’s very much under appreciated.

[@TheYarbros]

Facts. Legendary, unknown by many and very much under appreciated. Thanks for watching!

[@westernnative897]

That is not true they just see him as a Mexican not as black🧐

Nosotros siempre lo tenemos encuenta porque es nuestra gente. (We always keep it in mind because is our people.) La razón que muchas gente no conose de la Historia es porque los pasados gobernantes que nuestro gran país tuvo trato de borrarlos de la Historia. (The reason a lot of people don't know the history is because our past governor's of our great country they try to erase them from history) We grow up in México with our people, color doesn't matter or make a difference. Is only when you believe that money makes you better than anyone. Saludos.

Vicente's Guerrero quote remains me of what Emiliano Zapata said during Mexican revolution. He said " I rather died on my feet, than living on my knees" "Prefiero morir de pie, que vivir de rodillas", Thank you for teaching me history about my county that i should already know and shouldn't forget.

My mother is European desendant, you know, white skin blue eyes, from Michoacan state, but my dad is from Cortijo Oaxaca and is black as he can be...

Watching this made me tear up more than once...your passionate enthusiasm and the depth of your teachings....this history is so intense and I never knew it.

[@AFRIColimA]

After watching this video, you can go read this paper "Vicente Guerrero: insurgente, militar y presidente afromexicano" by María Dolores Ballesteros Páez. It's fully in spanish but translating tools won't change the essential information. It basically describes how Vicente Guerrero and his family were treated by his political oppositors because of their Black Ancestry and features. And how and why his visual representation had to be whitened after his death.

[@TheYarbros]

I already know it was rough. Looking fwd to the read.

Is spanish a dialect? Correct me if I am wrong but I think it is not. In minute 5:01 Rondel said ..."in their own dialect" he should said language instead of dialect.

[@TheYarbros]

There are many different dialects of Spanish. Colombia, Ecuador, Spain, Caribbean, Cuba.....many different dialects and I can watch shows selected from different regions that emphasize a particular dialect.@@rafaelgrajales8251

Mexico is a multicultural country and no matter the skin color the majority are proud to be Mexican

[@kmnmnav2922]

When I was a girl, I really hated my curly black hair, because the kids from the elementary school tend to make fun of me, for reference, I was the only girl in my classroom with thick curly hair. When my grandmom died, a relative told me about the existence of an African ancestor. As a Mexican, I didn’t know about this important 3rd root until my grandmom died, and it makes sense, because my grandmom had a dark skin and thick curly hair. Through the years, I have been learning how to take care of my hair, and feel proud about how I look.

[@marcosdelossantos1308]

I am a black mexican, was born in Acapulco but grew up in Cuajinicuilapa (my mom still lives there). Unfortunately, schools in Mexico don’t really teach anything about black history, they only teach about Spanish “heroes “ and about how we have to look at Spain as “the motherland” which caused me conflicts while in school because I completely totally refused to see Spain as the motherland. Instead, I always expressed my love for Africa because that’s where we really are from. Black history has been almost erased from mexican history. They don’t even acknowledge that mexican independence heroes such as Gaspar Yanga, Vicente Guerrero and José Maria Morelos y Pavon were black. Even Guerreros’ nick name was “El Negro”, because it is said he was very tall , robust and very dark complexion. Now living in the US and having black friends from other Latin American countries I’ve realized that black history it was also erased from the history books in their countries. School history is inaccurate bs! You have to find the information somewhere else. Great video! Love to all my melanated brothers and sisters in the diaspora! It’s time to return to the motherland! And I don’t mean this necessarily in a physical way, but mentally. Lets emancipate ourselves from this system that isn’t ours and return to your black roots.

[@TheYarbros]

Brothah, everything you mentioned in your comment is the reason we wanted to do this video.

[@masakafese3302]

🌀I’m Mexican. I even refused to see Spain as the motherland. I used to watch this tv show ( Siempre en Domingo ) and they would mention this . I was 12 and I knew that felt wrong along with almost 100% of the brown audience looking on. Spain being the motherland is so false . It made me feel at 12 that they saw me as ugly . I didn’t feel it but just thinking that’s how I’m seen felt wrong. I never forget that. I did not know they taught that in schools. Wow !! That’s so wrong!

[@carlosocon1378]

They did teach me about African slaves brought by Spain to Mexico, in Durango Mexico . Maybe you didn't have good teachers. A good teacher does their profession because they want to spread knowledge. Those for a pay check won't teach this

[@luizqudaibergen6200]

This might enter into the "negative category" from your POV, but there´s something you need to give it a thought and that for some reason you´ve been unable to appreciate it, maybe because of the language barrier. Anyway, just like people from any other parts of the world, most Mexicans are not aware of the rich history of our country, which is a shame, because basically every single Mexican is proud of being a Mexican, and if they knew more about our history, that sentiment would be even stronger. Something that I find interesting about our culture is how the Mexican society "evolved" differently from our neighbors from the North, and fortunately, we don´t really care about ethnicity. Do we have a colonial hangover?... sure, but we do know Mexicans are under a very wide spectrum of skin color and features that we don´t even bother to put on labels like "African- Mexican", "White-Mexican", "Chinese-Mexican", "Arab-Mexican" and all that kind of bull$#¡+ Americans care about. Besides all of our problems, there´s one thing that unite us and keep our bonds strong, and that´s Mexico. It´s not Africa, nor Europe, nor Asia nor any of those countries/territories we share historical ties with, not even the ancient Aztec Capital Tenochtitlán. The point I want to make is that "Black history" in Mexico is not under appreciated or whatsoever, is just unknown for many like any other historical fact. It´s not that "someone" is hiding us the truth, it´s just that people don´t care enough about history. I´m from Veracruz, so as you may already know, here at the south the "so-called black history" is far from being unfamiliar. We see it everyday in our families, friends and communities. It´s part of our Mexican and Mestizo heritage. And we´re mestizos because long time ago we decided to become one. That´s why is basically impossible to find "ethnic-specific communities" between our cities and towns. Though, in the most recent history, guess who is creating this kind of communities... foreigners!, but that´s off topic. I know this may be controversial due to our cultural backgrounds, but I´m just trying to give some actual, real and first hand context. Hope you keep enjoying Mexico. Peace.

[@TheYarbros]

Thanks for expressing yourself. I appreciate the narrative. We've had the opportunity to spend time in some Afro-Mexican communities here and while they are 100% Mexican and they love their country they have given voice to unique some problems that they gave here in Mexico. The same problems they face are being confronted by the African diaspora throughout Latin America....it all boils down to marginalization. This is why I use this platform to give voice to their concerns. I am passing along what was said to me by locals....and also informing our public of some cool slices of Afro history that isn't in their history books.

[@luizqudaibergen6200]

You have spent some time, I have spent my whole life. That history runs in my family´s blood. Also, that history is in fact in our books and very well documented and even celebrated. And if by voicing their corcerns you mean the people from your video in Cuaji, then you should know that some of the statements there, were completely misleading due to the language barrier you guys have with the people you approach. I really appreaciate your enthusiasm and I encourage you to continue exploring and learning, but in this chapter of your journey, you´re overlooking a lot and even biasing the things you try to expose. Hope you take all this into consideration as I´m not trying to criticize your job, I´m just trying to give some honest feedback on a subject I feel connected with. @@TheYarbros

@@luizqudaibergen6200 I don't believe I am overlooking any mass amount of info..and yes we interviewed many other residents of the town (in the pipeline) and they are absolutely being marginalized and discriminated against.. .and it's that simple. They are waking up to these facts. Regarding this vid Yanga handed Spain their behind and so did Guerrero. Nothing complex to miss. The facts speak for themselves.

[@luizqudaibergen6200]

I grew up listening the story of Yanga and the revolutionaries decendants of that generation of slaves who happen to be part of my family tree, and they´ve been celebrated long long ago. Those stories are very well documented and known for many, and the fact that a lot of other Mexicans (and foreigners of course) are clueless about it, doesn´t mean someone has been hidding it from us. And Vicente Guerrero wasn´t black, he was a mestizo. So saying that he was the first "Black president" or that he´s "one of the biggest characters in black history", is completely missleading. You´re taking away from him and our history his indigenous roots, the same way you did it with the people in your Cuaji´s video. So yes, you´re not only overlooking a lot, but also being biased. You believe you´re not, but you actually are bro. Trust me. You can´t see Mexican culture or history through the same lent you see yours in the US. @@TheYarbros

Yanga Veracruz is a town in Veracruz and is called Yanga because Oscar Yanga the prince you mentioned in the video, you could visit the city and create a video, there are a museum and many things related to him and our 3rd Mexican root.

Indeed Mexico has afro culture, my oldest daughter is dark skinned & beautiful not only for her amazing skin color but for being mestiza, she inherited that blood line from my ancestors as her dad is light skinned & colored eyes from El Salvador. She defines herself as 95 % Mexican n proud. no hay nada mas hermoso como sentirse orgulloso de ser Mexicana y tener piel obscura Un cafe hermoso o más oscuro. Viva Mexico❤

I am part of the beautiful mixture of the 3 roots. I grew up listening to the music my grandparents and great grandparents listened too called "sones" from the region of tierra caliente ( hotlands ) of Michoacan & the birthplace of where the independence of Mexico was made & signed (Apatzingan) anyways alot of our music from the regions speaks & celebrates the beauty of the dark skin women 🎉❤🎉

Vicente Guerrero on wikipedia. He was not blk However, no portraits of him were made during his lifetime and those made posthumously may not be reliable. Fellow insurgent José María Morelos described him as a "young man with bronzed or tanned skin ("broncineo" in Spanish), tall and strong (N.B. "forbid", strapping, muscular), aquiline nose, bright and light-colored eyes and big sideburns".

[@TheYarbros]

Some people.... Spanish folk have been trying to stir this into the mixture for ages but it is okay. Roman soldiers said Jesus's body was taken by his followers. He was a black indigenous mix man that was raised in Guerrero. I don't know what historians have stated otherwise but if it makes you feel good you can call him whatever you like.

[@TheYarbros]

That just isn't true. It was Mexicans who told us in the first place. There are countless Afro-organizations in Mexico right now fighting for relevancy. You are either out of touch, not black or a racist to insist on not seeing the truth. Read the comments and open up to understanding.

What's funnier is the people saying that it isn't true. On person wanted 5o argue about Yanga not being African and now people are saying that Vincent's Guerrero wasn't black at all. This seems to be the way here. Try to trivialize truth. It's too late though the awakening has started.

[@coupleofbeers31]

Every Latin American country has some degree of African roots because the Spaniards brought them over. It seems like in Mexico they all mixed in but you can still tell by looking at some of them. Even Mario Moreno Cantinflas, arguably the most famous Mexican actor ever, you can tell he has some African roots. Cheers!
