How Xochimilco Artist Xiuhtezcatl is Using Art to Propel Social Change | NowThis Next
I'm so glad indigenous people are finally being represented and talked about in media.
Thank you
He is only half.
So believe me, he uses that other half when it benefits him.
@@yeah_right88 im only half as well and he's not white-passing either soooo...
Jesus loves you.
More power to him✊✊✊
He's not oppressed tho otherwise he couldn't make music or talk about his experience and views
✊🏽
I have my art currently up in a museum until October 30! I have some jewelry and a mixed media painting of watercolors, sharpie, and crayons. It’s political art. It’s about Black Liberation and Rights. I made the Statue of Liberty as a black woman. And I have one of my political poems on the side panels called Lady Liberty Is Black! It’s part of a poem series I’ve been writing for years Perspectives Of A Lightskinned Girl.
It navigates my life and feelings and views of the world and myself and my mixed race identity. In one of the corners of the art it has a part with black protesters where I’m in it wearing a blm shirt that I actually own. It’s on my profile pic actually lol. And a big scroll in the center saying Freedom Is Not Free and around the sides n top are the Ancestors.
Hip hop is not Indigenous or Mexican! Nada que ver.
THIS NEED TO BE SHARED!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Two of those words are not pronounced the way they're spelt
You know youre not oppressed when you can make a video like this or actually stand up for what you believe in. The fact people dont understand this is whats sad
Why do we have to act like a half-Mexican American is basically a Holocaust survivor. Its not that bad bro, and you arent oppressed 😂😂
This man is talking about indigenous people. You know, the part where the biggest genocide in human history has occurred? And the part where majority of indigenous people in Mexico live in poverty and have no access to basic needs like clean water and proper eduction?
Did your school fail you or is the holocaust the only metric you use to measure whether or not what constitutes as oppression? Because if so, I bet I know what person you would be if you lived during the Civil Rights Movement.
Very well said. Thank you!@@bluedreamkush2392
No one is illegal on stolen land lmao. Cool, this applies to the entire globe, ye?
"But, im not even that old yet" then you prolly shouldnt be at the forefront with a megaphone huh.
This society is seriously lacking many things.
Ok, sir, before you began using my culture's way to express yourself, and say "black and brown", can you address the anti-blackness within your people/culture/community? It'd be much appreciated, thanks😒
I'm black, and the dude is appreciating our culture, not appropriating it. He talks about the history of hip hop in the beginning. There's a difference between appreciating culture and appropriating culture.
@@pinkprime5485 "I'm black and..." so? Are you black American, black Carribean, and/or African? Your comment on "appropriation vs. appreciation" does not apply here. Let me clarify my statement: other minorities who are supposedly "proud of their culture/heritage" always find a way to use black AMERICAN culture to bring awareness to them, BUT they do not address the rac!sm against black AMERICAN culture that their people have entrenched in their own culture.
Can you explain anti-brown in yours?
@@angelic1912 Can you explain this alleged "anti-brown" ish you just made up? There's no "anti-brown" in black American culture. There is only a deep rooted "whiten out the race/better the race" in Hispanic and Latin America communities, that's a literal mantra/saying/phrase in your communities. Many of you didn't even want to acknowledge Afro-hispanics/Afro-Latinos existed. Mexico, either in 2015 or 2017, finally ALLOWED Afro Mexicans on their country's census. If anything, black people were the first to say "black and brown", but you can play stupid if you want to. The nerve, you can't even be original with an alleged problem.
@@EepyBnnuy So, what part of my statement is false? Why do other POC get offended when black ppl point out the antiblackness within YOUR culture. You literally sound like a whyte person when they get called out on their rac!sm. You said "not all", instead of admitting the truth. You call out your relatives? There's one of your people in this thread right now claiming black culture is anti-brown, which is a lie, and doesn't exist, but instead of checking your "relative" on a lie, you respond to me for speaking the truth. That's how you know true allies don't exist. It is not JUST the old people, it's the younger generations as well. And don't tell me you liked the geniuses comment about appropriation vs appreciation 😒
