Vicente Guerrero fue el primer presidente negro?

[@billv.3953]

Su padre era Afro-Mexicano y su madre era Mexicana. His father was Afro-Mexican and his mother was native Mexican. The state of Guerrero and cities were named in his honor for fighting for Mexico’s independence from Spain. In the US, the state of Washington honors the first President George Washington.

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

[@NeishaPeterson-b7k]

It's more than words. Other groups would not want black people to use racial slurs against another race. All races have racist slurs so think before you offend someone else. If black people use racist slurs against Hispanic it would be people mad. That is how black people feel. I ❤️ all races

[@Panch06g]

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.

@@XanderTheGreat1well for one you got white Mexicans that feel it’s ok to say the n word. Mexicans come in different forms. You got a lot of white hispanics(Fat Joe) (sixnine) who are white. The world views them as white and they benefit off it. No white racist man would ever look at six nine and Fat Joe and say look at that “nigger”. You ever heard anyone say I can’t stand those “Hispanic niggers”. The white man does not view Hispanics as “niggers”. So I’m confused on why Hispanics go out there way to associate with something that the rest of the world doesn’t view them as.
