Вставка

- As the Black Lives Matter movement spreads internationally, we’re looking today at one of the world’s most forgotten Black communities. In Mexico, Black people make up around one percent of the population.
CGTN's Alasdair Baverstock tells us in the first of two reports, equal rights isn’t the only battle they have on their hands.

Hatred for Afro people is all around this world. It's really sad
@Real Deal444 laughs in colonialism
@Real Deal444Laughs at misspelled words
Dee Davis you sound like Dr. John Henry Clark: The Black🗣Man And Black🗣Woman Have No Friend's If You Looking For Friend's Look In The Mirror
What do you mean? Is even the opposite, Africa needs more diversity, it needs more Europeans and Asian cultures
@@Rodrilechan *laughs* in colonialism
The most high didn't forget about them. Trust and believe.
You're right...
Have you heard of synctrades...?
Kan!
KAN!
All praises to The MOST HIGH it brings me such joy to see us all in these comments it’s representing what’s happening all across the world 💯💯. A few years ago this wasn’t the case prophecy is coming to pass
I am a black Brazilian,it’s really hard to explain to Americans that Latinos/Hispanic is not race. Every time I tell someone I’m Afro Latino, they think I am from the DR or PR.Its crazy that Americans don’t know that there’s other races in South America,especially since Brazil holds the largest black and Asian population outside of Asia and Africa.
To be honest the whole American continent is a migrant continent. They are blacks, whites, Arabs, Jews and natives living there.
Most ppl know this girl… it’s very common knowledge that there are Afro Latinos..
@@truthspeaker1508 you would be surprised how many people think you can look latino or hispanic, some people say im not white im hispanic
@@truthspeaker1508
Most people know about Afro-Latinos.
However, many people are not hip to Brazil having the largest African and Asian populations outside of their respective origins.
Brazil does not hold the largest Asian population outside of Asia. Not sure where you pulled that outlandish notion from. There are more Asians in the United States than Brazil for starters, 19 to 1. I traveled through Brazil and barely saw any Asians. There are significantly more in California for starters with a greater diversity of Asians. You're confused. Brazil holds the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. Japanese does not represent all of Asia.
The woman doing the typing is beautiful. All around the world, BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL 😍
She isn’t 100 % black that’s why she is beautiful real black woman don’t have those features
@@vincentmontgomery9770 boy what...... Sub Saharan Africa is one of the most genetically diverse areas in the world there isnt one “African look” and even is she were or were not to be fully black she would still be beautiful stop the ethnocentrism.
@@vincentmontgomery9770 Yawn! Perhaps you want to start a slanging match on You Tube. 🥱🥱🥱 to your comment. I'm Black and I have beautiful features. So do stop with your ignorant discriminatory comments.
@@katzwhite5962 Says Katz "White" lol
@Vincent Montogomery
Horrible comment. Saying the only reason she is beautiful is because she isn’t 100% black. As if black features can’t be beautiful. SMH.
I am Afro Mexican and I am, and have always been since I was called Negrito, so SO proud of us all!!!😍😍😍
Indeed you ought to be proud!!🙌🏾🙌🏾 We don't choose our parents, TMH gives them to us!! Continue to walk and talk proud, sis!!!💕💯
You are a descendant from the ancient 12 Tribes of the Israelites that God scattered across the world and mainly settled most of the Northern Kingdom on this side before the Europeans set foot in the Western Hemisphere. I didn't believe this at first until i watched a documentary on the hidden archeological history found in Mexico, Central and South America. I know Mexico is a mixed ethno nation and I know the descendants of the Spaniards are still pretty much the upper class and ruling Mexico. I always make a distinction between them and other Mexicans people that are my brothers and sisters from the 12 tribes. Shalom..
@@Worthy_Joshua_12 The 12 tribes were white. No significant tribe has come from under the Sahara
Yo come home South Africa for holiday...
@@Rodrilechan Keep believing that lie LOL!!! Here's a fact for you. All so called Black people don't come from Sub Sahara Africa. Many of the slaves imported to America from the Atlantic Slave trade did not orginate from the places where they were found in West Africa. Many of them migrated from Jerusalem to Yeman and Africa in 70AD after the Roman Army destroyed Jerusalem. The12 Tribes are black and brown people mainly fouund in Africa, and were put on slaves ship later in their history and scatterd across the world and sold into slavery. Some remnants of israelites are still in Africa lke the Lemba People. Look it up. The bible states towards the last days before Jesus the Christ's returns they (Israelites) will remember their heritage. The bible also states when the 12 tribes of Israel return to land of Israel they will have servants and slaves. They will rule over their former oppressors and will be safe in their land at peace. Those things hasn't happended yet and it proves people like the Afro Mexicans, Blacks in the Western Hemisphere and Blacks in places like India & Pakistan (The Siddis) All fit the curses listed in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 There's also too much history being revealed that was hidden about this very topic. And even the Ashkenazi people in Israel have said they are not bloodline descendants from the 12 Tribes of Israel. You better go do some research. Cambridge, Duke, Harvard, Princeton and Yale Univerisites have very old documents and research literature supporting this soon to be known truth. But we know some people do not want this revealed becasue it has severe ramifications. Eitherway God is revealing this truth to his people that hear his voice. Good day... Shalom...
I once saw an afro Mexican woman singing our old hymns from the south where she migrated from to escape American persecution. She didn’t speak a lick of English though, but the song had been passed down through her family for generations. Idk it was just so incredible to hear her sing it in our accent, in English, yet she didn’t speak the language.
That’s wholesome asf
Which hymn was it? Do you remember?
I seen that video on here too
I saw that video too
Its the. Mascogo tribe

They are lucky to have that personal solitude away from people who don't like them, sometimes segregation is a luxury which can separate you from the pain of racism, stay away from those demons that hate you for no reason my brother and sisters
Agreed 💯%
This was so deep, saddening, yet accurate.😞
@@WNT2BLV did you not watch the video? the woman clearly stated that other Mexicans don’t recognize them as Mexicans; they think because they’re black they are foreign. That’s why they’ve never been included on the census until now.
i think you’re missing the point. separation/self isolation is one thing. but segregation that leaves you impoverished and struggling isn’t a luxury at all.
@@imParisthoee build your own so that you don't need other races
Shows how strong our people are. They fled there and began their lives surviving on what they have.
Still there till this day the will to live is strong q
ALL THANKS TO TMH! You best believe THAT !
That true..
Kan
Fled? Survived? Lol they were many ancient intelligent well established civilizations way before Africans came on slave boats. Know your history before you speak. They Survived through OUR traditions and knowledge, they added there roots through some tribes.
The fact that Rosa is using a typewriter in this day and age says a lot about the lack of technological resources within their community, as well.
It’s Mexico what do expect if they had anything better than a type writer I would have called them privileged
@@danielmoreno-gama5973 We may not be the most developed country in the world, but in Mexico no one uses a typewriter.
@@arthurgaming125 there’s many communities that doesn’t even have WiFi here in Mexico. You and I might come from the city or from privileged areas, but many areas in Mexico lack these basic resources. Let me remind you that 7% of our population lives in extreme poverty and 74% suffer some type of poverty. The town where I grew up didn’t even have transportation like taxis or something and telcel only began working over there a couple of years ago XD
Just because they don't have wifi in some areas doesn't mean they are lacking or falling behind. Falling behind in whose judgment, Man's? Please, the whole world would be better off without computers and other major technologies. 🙄

Black folks are disrespected all over the world. How can we help? We are Diaspora Africans, and we are strong. Blessings to you all!
You think everyone isn’t
They are diasporan Africans too; their ancestors were brought there as slaves by the Spaniards. Many of them have a Shemitic connection as in all the diaspora.
Black people should go their for vacations. Build hotels and learn and share with these people.
@@deemaverick987 I was thinking that myself
@@deemaverick987 no stay out of mexico lmao go to africa or something
Proud to have come from Afro-Mexicans. Beautiful people. My original ancestors were most likely Africans that were brought to Guerrero. They intermarried with Asians that were brought to Acapulco, Guerrero in the Manila Galleons. After that, they moved to Mexican states like Michoacán, Jalisco, and Guanajuato and intermarried again but this time with the Spaniard and Native population. I used to think I was like the typical Xicano that is only a Spaniard/Native mix. Turns out I'm part black, 1/3rd Portuguese, plus every race imaginable.
Disgusting
No wonder those people from La Costa Chica look like Pacific Islanders from Bora Bora.
I’m glad that you were able to find out so much about yourself and your ancestors. Where were you able to learn all this about your lineage? I’m 1st gen Mexican-American and I’ve always assumed that I was the typical Spanish/native mix, but I’ve been wondering more about that recently.
Interesting story
@@jimenao.g.8601 I just saw a video about the Library of Congress now have information on Hispanics genealogy. Check out their website
You may be able to trace your ancestors back to Europe. Some countries are offering land to descendants. Good luck on your research.
Black is Beautiful 🙏🏽☝🏽💖 be proud of your African roots and heritage. I am proud of mine.
lol, i wouldn't change being black for anything. this is fun as ....! if you know, you know
I thought skin color didn't matter? So they are not Mexican but African?
You all should leave Mexico and the US if you all hate it so much
It's this what liberalism that's infecting Mexico there are Mexicans there is no such thing as black people dark people
@@RodrilechanWe are leaving. Many of us are buying land in Africa Google it, we don't like you and your malignant jealousy against us. Your JEALOUSY had become a mental neurosis
This is beautiful. I pray that black people all across the world unite and get back to our place as royalty 🤴🏾👸🏾✊🏾🖤🤎
Amennnnn🙏🙏🙏
So they just black
Do you know what’s going on in Africa ? Hace ever been there ??
People like this lol either iuic or just full of pride.
You mean go back to Africa? I'm going to be honest, here in Latin America many Afro-Latinos feel proud of being Latino and Afro-descendant, what I have seen is that they live happily here, I suppose it is not like in the USA where racism is very strong and that is why I understand that many want to return to Mama Africa, but I don't think Afro-Latinos want to return to africa because they see Latin America as a part of themselves, their home.
And many in this world think it’s a taboo to claim their African side until it helps them in some way.
Best comment yet
@person1 What do you mean?
@person1 They can stay over there in Mexico, they look and sound like Mexicans. Everybody wants to claim they're black when they want something.
@person1 No
Don't judge so harshly. For some people life is so hard they choose any way that makes it easier.
Love Afro-Mexican people🇱🇾🇲🇽🙏🏿☺💯 i have a afro mexican god family.
Sorry to burst your bubble but nobody claims to be afro Mexican this is just some CNN crap. They're just mexicans.
@@alfredoalcantar8691 no Afrolatino is a common position
@@alfredoalcantar8691 yes they do, in Mexico they are just Mexicans cause they only socialize and know only Mexico, but to the rest of the world they are Afro latinos having African roots

@@alfredoalcantar8691 I’m sorry but who gave you the right to claim that??? I’m from a Afro community and we are well aware of our build up and our proud..... in Mexico there’s just no need to go into detail since race isn’t a big issue over there. Classism is the problem
I remember working on my family history, o told someone my family on my fathers side is from Guatemala and Mexico and they just looked at me like I was crazy. They said I don’t look Mexican because I’m black. We need to educate ourselves and talk more about the history of black people all around the world. Before slavery and after.
I went on a cruise to Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. Just about everybody I saw, outside of Mexico, looked black but kinda mixed or regular black. In Mexico, the tour guide was talking about how their pyramids have pictures of animals native to Africa. I went to Western Mexico, separate trip years ago, and saw black people. We're taught fake history.
One of my uncle's former employees was Guatemalan, but I didn't know until I heard her speaking Spanish to one of the Dominican women that also worked for my uncle. I asked where were her roots from, then she informed me. Due to her regular style of dressing, her Locks, plus head dress, I secretly viewed her as "Mother Africa" in my mind. We had a good laugh when I asked has she ever had to check someone that was talking about her in Spanish in public. She said she's had to put other Spanish speakers in their place a few times. They may often deal with biased opinions and colorism.
Lots of black people in Belize, my relatives.
I don't think there's a definite look that defines one as Mexican. I have family members who are white with colored eyes and others who are tan/dark skinned. Once we pry into our family history we will see where our ancestors came from. I'm definitely interested in finding out since a lot of Mexicans are quite mixed not only of Spanish and indigenous heritage, but a little of everything.
Just because some one is dark does not mean they look black, or with nappy hair 🤦♂️
I love my Mexican family! Some of my uncles look like Brad Pitt and some look like Mike Tyson! lol! I love them all the same!!!
I agree but we don't use identity politics in Mexico like America is trying to force. My dad is dark and I'm light we're still Mexicans
Do you have an uncle look like Jackie Chan? Lol
@@PurpleFlower22 No, more like Bruce Lee!!

So they just look African too u
I live in Medellín. The trans Atlantic Slave trade was a lie. Black people are indigenous to the Americas, Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and everywhere. That include the so called Africans in Palenque, they are indigenous. The trans Atlantic Slave trade myth was created by the agents of the Vatican to justify the theft if the indigenous black people's land rights. How can you have land rights if your from Africa, taken as slaves, and not originally from the Americas, look up "Terra Nullius" and you will begin to see thru the Hoax we were taught in school.
It's Mexican
@@carlwalker9635Don't know wtf you talking about, indigenous people are indigenous not black.
@@kiiioookikkikiooiii3593Mexican isn't a race .
I’m a white Mexican. My skin is white and I was born with red hair. One of my grandfather’s grandfather came from Guerrero and he was so dark I suspect he might have been a black native i.e Afro Indigenous, Afro Mexican.
He was definitely indigenous. The term “Afro-Mexican “ is a misnomer. These ppl are indigenous to Mexico. The so called “white Mexicans” that inhabit Mexico now are the descendants of Conquistadors from Spain. If they were to actually ask any one of these black ppl especially the elders, they would most likely tell them that their ppl always inhabited that land. A lot of these ppl are indigenous Blacks who relocated to Mexico from the American southeast escaping colonization 🙏🏽
Same, goes with my Grandpa, he is very dark.
@@asandwich6823 bro mine too I think we got something here because I see alot of people in the comments saying the same that there grandpa or grandma was super dark. I think something's up

Were they Louisiana Creole ?
Where did they go?
@@ladyreepatton6342 yes I think Mexico American war started because American Texans got ambitious and started bringing slaves which was illegal

That could be a reason. Apparently they live in Oaxaca and that state is pretty safe compared to other states in Mexico
Anytime percussions are involved, Africans were/are involved. Trust. 🖤
I’m sad that growing up in Mexico I was not taught about Afro Mexican people. But now that I am grown I educate myself and I will educate the next generations to come. You are not invisible ❤️🇲🇽
Did you put attention in clases, because they teach that in fifth and sixth grade, when they teach about mexico independence and the war with Texas, and how they were protected as equal in the first constitution.
@@__-fl3yt shut up, she said they did not teach so why would you doubt her, and if they taught it in Mexico as you claim how is it that there are Mexicans who don't know that there are Afro-Mexicans?
@@mikeaskme3530 because I went to Mexican school and they teach us that in History since elementary. And I have the same question why so many Mexicans claimed they don't know when any Mexican with basic education knows this.

@Martin Hernandez Some? Dad was Black, Mom was a black native. You guys really are a special kind of stupid.
@Martin Hernandez Oh yeah, there is such a thing. I keep telling people, read the Spanish, French, British historical accounts. They described what the people looked like. Even back then, they went out of thier way to distinguish black. They were either called Ethio[pian, or they look Ethiopian but they aren't, Swarthy, Tawny. The physical characteristics. Hell, even in the Smithsonian, library of congress have books that have first hand accounts of encounters and what the people look like. Read up on the Independence of Argentina.
@Martin Hernandez And one more thing. If you ever come across an old version of the 1828 dictionary, look up the N word. The definition given is was a racial slur for Thier words, native black American Indian. That's why they scrubbed that word from thier dictionaries. Because that would end the entire argument. WhaT do you guys know about the Filipino presence in the Americas?
They aren’t been forgotten, they choose to stay away from all the bs.
@sneksnekitsasnek it’s already there, apparently now they want to be recognized as an indigenous group even though they aren’t indigenous.
@@daniellozada3408 i mean they do have native american ancestry...
American Indoctrination? The MEXICAN government is who excluded afro Mexicans from their census for centuries until 2015. Don’t blame that on us idiot 🤣. People don’t have to be quiet about their oppression.
Daniel you’re not too intelligent are you? This entire ethnic group was excluded from Mexico’s census for centuries until 2015. That’s pathetic. They are also indigenous. The oldest skeletal remains recovered in the Americas are that of ppl of African descent.
@@gyptianskin they were NOT excluded big dummy, they just weren’t labeled as “AfroMexicans” that’s a very modern term. That’s one thing about Mexico everyone that’s born there it’s just Mexican it doesn’t matter if you’re from Asian decent or African. In the Mexican census forms there’s not such a thing as color or ethnic background..ppl aren’t race obsessed like we are in the US.
My father grew up with a few Afro Mexicans in Texas. He remembered they got tossed around alot. They couldn't make friends with the other Latino kids because they were black and they couldn't make friends with the black American kids cause most spoke little to no Spanish. Its was kinda sad to hear.
Ya I’ve heard that a lot too, it’s no wonder why those with a little bit different ethnicity or race completely shun whatever side they couldn’t initially fit in. They never attempt to reconnect because they always felt like they could never be accepted

Protect these people at all cost. I'd tour there for the history alone. I've never seen nor heard of them before now. Maybe it's a good thing they never left their communities because in doing so they have preserved it. They're a beautiful people. It's ironic how many Hispanic and Latin countries can accept, even promote, white, blond, blue eyes Spanish people (who added very little to the food, music, and dance to these cultures) but yet people who are Spanish and Black struggle to get recognized. Everywhere you look, they want our rhythm but nobody wants our blues. That's ok. We are the first and we'll be the last ones standing in the end.
Umm yeah there’s hella people and some of my friends are from the same place , it’s quite normal , and ways even the Whitiest is mixed with indigenous, most of Mexico is hella mixed with indigenous.
Protect them from what? Mexico don't treat black Mexicans people that way

The fact that we are all over the world not by choice is actually really sad. This is unbelievable i always thought that it was impossible find afro-mexicans (born and raised). Is really amazing.
Blacks were all over the world before slavery love. U might be surprised, but when u do some research about African kingdoms, you'll know. I suggest u look up King Mansa Musa of Mali Empire in West African. He's elder brother led a exploration to the New World long before shattel slavery occured in the Americas.

We’re over the whole damn planet before and after Columbus - you forgot that little fact 👌🏽
@Jay Pee 😂 ain’t none of it true boy
@Jay Pee looks like will eventually find out won’t we
Facts! We birthed everybody
@Real Deal444 No, Africans were already able to trade with the Natives, and when people trade, usually some people from the other area come to stay. It's not culture snatching. it's common sense and facts. Native Americans are not necessarily black, but black people have literally been all over the globe forever. It's time to stop acting like we're exotic, you racist.
@Real Deal444 Wtf. I was stating facts. You obviously lack comprehension skills bc I did not list any insecurities
My daddy was afro Mexican! I love seeing this footage
Look up Gaspar Yanga. He is known as the First Liberator of the Americas in Mexico. He was a slave from Gabon who rebelled against the Spaniards and created an independent colony in the early 1600's in what usnow Veracruz.
@@U67129 Yanga was before Guillen de lampart
Jah has not forgotten any of us.
Touching!
Thanks for sharing!
They are a beautiful people and have every reason to be proud.
For being born a certain race?
Shout out to the black brothers and sisters in Mexico 🇲🇽.
@Coco Chanel That don't add up, ethnicity is what a person identify as, nationailty is where some one is born.
They are Mexicans by nationality, but ethically identify as African or with their african roots.
I need to go to this part of Mexico and contribute as much as I humbly can
It's just like that in Rio De Janeiro Brazil I'm a Afro Brazilian myself como estas my Latin people.🇧🇷
There is no excuse for that stupidity in Brasil well over half the population is mixed with african / indigenous ancestry

@@davidlucasmachado2831 People of color was scattered across this whole globe so yes practically every nation has Afrocentric bloodline in them.

Beautiful people!
This is what I was thinking, you beat me to it.
Mexico gave freedom and acceptance. In return African warriors fought alongside Indians, meztisos. We even had an Afro Mexican President. I myself am Afro decent. Beautiful people. There's much more about the true History that's not commonly told. The truth is out there seek and you shall find. We are all one people.
Most Mexican are like Americans and only know so little about history for example many people here in LA don't know much about Pio Pico.
Peace hermanos
I don’t think other Mexicans forgot their own people I think it’s Americans who can’t wrap their mind around things who impose false ideations of race, culture, ethnicity, color...
Prop 16 failed in California and gente blaco are only 36%
i agree with this comment america has black americans so confused on what is race is we have been whitewashed
Yesss thank you 👏🏼
If you pay attention to the video, these people feel as though they’ve been marginalized, so you can have an opinion, just know your opinion doesn’t represent the actual views of the people in this video (watch that woman say that she wants everyone to take them into consideration towards the end). That “Race doesn’t exist” mentality probably works for you though.
Many Mexicans are racist and colorist to indigenous and African Mexicans. It’s because of colonization, even though majority of the country isn’t white (majority are mestizo) they still uphold the idle that “white is better.” It can be seen by whites in Mexico getting more representation, money, & education due the Spanish caste system.
They are so beautiful and I love their original dances. Beautiful culture much love to the Indigenous people of Mexico. ❤️❤️❤️
they're not indigenous to Mexico but they're still Mexican.
No, they are not blacks anymore, they are just Mexicans, there are no differences for us Mexicans
Sad but understanding to their fight. Now that we are learning more. Mexico I hope will do better with their own.
There fighting for nothing tho
Mestizos are mixed with Spaniards but yet are considered natives but the Afro-Mexicans who are obviously mixed with natives aren't?
The games they play
Mestizos are not a real category and, as a category, mean absolutely nothing. Furthermore, those to whom the label "mestizo" has been imposed are for that very reason not "natives" or "indians". Asking for afromexicans to be called mestizos because of them having also mixed with spaniards or natives is just trying to erase afromexican culture and having them assimilate to what is considered as mexican, precisely the problem.
Mestizos are only Native if they have predominantly Indigenous ancestry which even then struggle to identify as Indigenous, most identify as White. Lastly, Afro-Indigenous people exist.
@S S No, Afromexicans are the descendants of African slaves taken into Mexico by spaniards and their culture has its roots on the culture of said slaves with influence, of course, of other local groups.
@S S What scholars say different? Even in the video it is explicitly stated that they are descendants of African slaves.
You are not Black or African or Mexican. You are the scattered Israelites.
Wow. I had never heard of this group of people. Thanks for sharing.
European Colonialism in the name of God has divide so many things in our world.
We are all Spiritual Beings learning to be Human and this is a major lesson we still are learning-We Are One!
I love all my people 🇲🇽💖🇲🇽
Not true,They’re not forgotten they are Mexican
These are my brethren... a beautiful people; A nation of YAHAWA’s jewels within the Twelve Tribes of Israel. You are not forgotten by those of us who know you and most of all , you are never forgotten by the Most High! ❤️
Indeed he that scattered Israel will gather them in the second Exodus to the promise land.
@chato vato velez what’s dumb
I always thought it was weird this was never really spoken about. Love and respect for the people.
My siblings are biracial Black/Mexican American. They face horrific discrimination here in the US. They are beautiful just like the people in this video and speak fluent Spanish. ❤😊😘😍

Oh wow!! I never heard of Afro Mexicans! Beautiful.!!. Thanks for posting:)! I need to get more information myself on this !
So true, Mexico just recently in last couple of years added a section for Black on the Mexican census .
Most of them are mixed with indigenous people .
They are the indigenous people
@Chi Sol so the original man is not the original man?make it make sense
@Chi Sol If there are native black people in Australia and all over the Pacific, why is it impossible for black people being natives in Mexico???
Most of them are native with dark skin
@Chi Sol NO..
I love you My people ! ❤️

My father's family comes from the coastal line of Guerrero's beaches called Ixtapa. That area has tons of Afro-Mexican's mixed with the Natives Americans of that Region. I am a proud product of their combined souls.
Thank you for sharing! 💙🤗
They are not forgotten is just that Mexico is not America they dont separate people by origin.
They are Mexican and that's all
Mexico is America in case you didn't know , and more up north is united states of North America..🤓
stop trying to erase their background.. your mentality is part of the problem
@sneksnekitsasnek you're projecting. what you're doing is no different than what white people in the U.S. tell minorities to ignore their roots and focus on being American only.
Mucho amor para todos ustedes. Saludos de parte su hermana Africana.❤ Love to you family, greetings from your continental African sister❤.
It’s about time!! Thanks for sharing 👍
BEFORE IT WAS HISTORY IT WAS BLACK!! ADAM & EVE WAS BLACK, NOAH, MOSES, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, KING SOLOMON BLACK. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST IS....BLACK!! HAIR OF WOOL, SKIN LIKE BURNT BRASS, EYES LIKE FIRE, TRIBE OF JUDAH🙏🏾❤APTTMHG
Facts! They hate the truth. We are the original people.
The bible says let us make man in our image- he said nothing of color. I don't know what color Adam and Eve were, but we are one, fractured, but one.
@@michellesmith8912 science says different
@@michellesmith8912 Um, no! We are not the same my nation is Isrealite the apple of Gods eye, His chosen. According to His word Esau He Hates!! Jacob He Love
white and black is a eruopean ideology its not a actual race never has been
They exist right through Central America to South America. They are an inconvenient truth and not spoken about enough.
They are wonderful creative people.
The community that amazes me the most are the African in Surinam
Don’t put tags on people from Mexico. They are not Afro Mexicans. In Mexico we are all the same. We are Mexicans.
Not forgotten in mexico it doesn’t matter if you’re white,indigenous,Asian,black you are considered Mexican no matter what Mexican is not a race. So don’t bring your American ideology to Mexico
Agreed. We dont need that rubbish ideology in here. We get along just fine being all one nation.
@@mpumelelogarciasoumeyra2198 if y’all “get along just fine” why do Black Mexicans say otherwise? Why are Black Latinos so underrepresented? And why are so many of them accused of being “too Black” to be Latino/ Mexican? I agree, Mexican is not a race, but racism and anti Blackness is readily found throughout ALL the Americas, so it’s weird to claim otherwise.
@@africanodyssey4805 do you even know the difference between "latino" and Mexican? Ignorant punk.
@@africanodyssey4805 hahahah politics in other parts of the world are not like the US you are judging by your country. Life unfolds differently in different parts of the world. Your truth is not the rest of the worlds truth.
