All these ignorant comments hurt my brain. Not all Mexicans look the same, it is a very diverse country. Much like most of South, Central, North America and the Caribbean. Im glad they are being officially recognized. 🇲🇽
True we also have Asian Mexicans
The thing is if u see comments from people from Mexico in other channels, they themselves deny the existence of African descendants in Mexico. Many say they r white. Seriously check other channels.
Mr. Mata The older native people of the so called mexico looked similar and the same overall. When Europeans whites came over and colonized raping stealing etc the newer offspring rapidly changed more than naturally.
@@glimmeringsea5105 What can I say? I'm from Mexico, born and raised and unfortunately there is racism there too just like in every other country in the world.
@Gabe Yes, that is true. It is sad that people from the same country deny their own people because of skin color. Racism definitely is everywhere.
I am a afro-mexican...and proud for my african roots...saludos desde Acapulco Guerrero México
FER AM my parents are from Guerrero. Growing up, they would always tell me about the Afro- Mexicans and how A LOT of people don’t know about them. In fact, my dad dated a costeña before he married my mom.
My mom's side is from Acapulco and San Nicolás and they're Afro-Mexican too
Omg!!! I'm from Acapulco, Guerreo too 😍

@@Africanking422 Don't know what your point is supposed to be except trying to troll. Badly! Where ever you are from, your education system failed you. You did not come close to spelling conquered correctly. Do you concur?
Uh, you do know that the number of countries to "conquer" was not 52, really 54 or 48 depending on how you want to count them. You do know that country count is after colonialization and reflects post colonial Africa?
So, what was the point you were trying to make and how is it relevant to the topic?

You're right but it's wrong for them to do it
Mexico has always been represented by the brown skin color, since that's what all Mexicans including myself have in our family tree
Mexico is slowly following the united States' racist ways and all because they think the darker their skin color, the more they aren't Mexican
Black Pelasgian You're so disqusting discussing women that way. This is not about your lustful sex life. You've missed the whole point of the discussion.
Marie Laveaux Not everyone though, that whole bottom of the barrel thing was uncalled for. And I thought other Latinos get mad getting called Mexicans (From U.S point of view) cause it’s like some Americans think every latino person is Mexican or almost as if they’re not aware of the other Latinos and it gets on their nerves, has nothing to do with Mexicans themselves. Like im sure an Asian person will get mad being called Chinese when they’re not, doesn’t mean that they have anything against Chinese people or whatever. Also I’m gonna be honest and say I’ve never heard the word Mallate be used, searched it up quickly and apparently it’s slang for a black person?
Samuel H.M really you haven't met any?? They aren't hard to find... they're so beautiful inside and out

Glad Afro-Mexicans are getting recognized. There are Afrolatin@s throughout Latin America. In fact Latin America has the largest population of people with African decent outside of the African continent. Celebrate your heritage! Most Latinos are mixed and you shouldn't have to venerate whiteness to improve la raza. Latino is an ethnicity you can be any race. I love and support my Afro-Mexican familia.
Sad thing is Most don’t know that their African because of hair texture and skin complexion. However there are aboriginal tribes in Africa with straight and curly hair with all different shades of brown skin tones.

Well, they are called afro-mexicans because black people are not that common in Mexico despite they came as slaves in the colonial period and all their history... but in countries as Colombia, Venezuela and in Brazil even more, black people and their cultural presence are so common that i don't see the need to call them afro-colombian, afro-brazilian or afro-venezuelan... just saying.

There are different degrees of mixing in Mexico and the rest of Latin America and you can see black people who do not "look" mixed in all of Latin America. In any case, why is it you do call black americans "black" if they are also mixed? It has to be a mix between black and white and not black and native american/mestizo so you don't have such issues?

Segun la constitucion son MEXICANOS o MEXICANAS sin importar el color
Según la constitución, desde el año 2019 los miembros del pueblo afrodescendiente somos reconocido como una etnia más, antes que la identidad impuesta de la mexicanidad se encuentra nuestra ancestralidad cultural
Nunca los an tomado en cuenta que pena
@@arturonoyola1264 es decir que ustedes se coincidieran arina de otro costal, y más allá de ser ante todo mexicanos son primero africanos?? O no entendí??
@@arturonoyola1264 queeeeee! Ponte a leer bien,
@Oscar Neffi Estudia un poco el sistema de castas de la Nueva España (lo digo sin afán de sonar mamón, porque me parece interesante y relevante). La casta mestiza tan solo era una de varias. Había pardos, mulatos y un montón más. Una cosa es pertenecer a un grupo étnico y otra es tener una nacionalidad, donde incluso puedes ser todo lo nacionalista que quieras y pertenecer a una minoría étnica.
Sí, hay una etnia mexicana de mestizos que somos la mayoría, pero no por ello hay que descartar que otras personas tengan otro origen e incluso otras culturas.
Así como hay comunidades de blancos que tienen un origen étnico distinto al de la mayoría, como los franceses en Veracruz o los menonitas en Chihuahua, pues es natural que también haya mexicanos de origen africano.
También hay comunidades de judíos, de libaneses, de chinos y, recién me enteré (gracias al conflicto armado actual), de armenios. Seguramente hay bastantes más. De estas comunidades, algunas no son muy numerosas o su inmigración es mucho más reciente. Pero, bueno, me estoy saliendo del tema.
Sobre lo que comentas de que se quiere negar las raíces de los negros porque también están mezclados con europeo o con indígena o con mestizo. No es tan simple, las mezclas que comentas pueden existir o no pero finalmente este grupo en particular, el que estás viendo en el vídeo, se sienten identificados más como afromexicanos y no sólo es válido sino que es lógico ya que los mestizos en gran medida nos hemos encargado de discriminar tanto a indígenas como a negros.
Por cierto, es probable que por parte de una tatarabuela de lado de mi madre tenga ascendencia africana, aunque no lo puedo asegurar con toda seguridad. A mi lo que me quedaría de esa herencia sería el cabello rizado. Como sea yo me identifico como mestizo. Y puede ser que a eso te refieras cuando dices que somos una mezcla de todo. De nuevo, es difícil generalizar. Algunos sí estamos muy mezclados, otros no tanto. Lo importante es estar a gusto en la piel que habitamos, sea del tono que sea y tratar de comprendernos unos a otros.
Sé que me extendí mucho, pero ya para acabar, si la gente afrodescendiente es parte de una etnia reconocida por la constitución, pues me alegro mucho. Ya era justo que se les diera ese reconocimiento. Cómo vamos a exigir perdones de los españoles si no nos hemos reconciliado nosotros mismos.

Copper Colored Aboriginals. Find out More about your dad people from Texas, his peoples are likely not from Africa either and probably will tell you what Indian tribes they are from if you ask them.
That is beautiful thank you for sharing 😊
@sym You are Indigenous aka American Indian. Garifuna Nation and the people are aboriginal Americans. I am glad they have finally corrected the narrative concerning them. "The Garifuna are an indigenous people originally from the Caribbean island of St. Vincent who speak an eponymous Arawakan language." You Arawak/Taino and further apart of the indigenous peoples of Anahuac which is now called Mexico in South America. On your dad's side if he's an Afro-American then also ties you to indigenous North American tribes and you should find out more there as well.
@sym They created all those categories to confuse and divide on purpose and they would prefer aboriginals to continue identifying themselves based on colors like black/white vs. who they actually are as American Indians.
See... This is how people in the US See things. Im smart enough that if I saw your mother I wouldnt assume anything
I love this so much!! Black women and girls are magic✨
Mary Lohitai lmfao what
Monica Rodriguez de J, yea if you think about it. Black women have the best breast milk, the most melanin (which melanin is worth more then gold), are the most naturally demons because we have the most estrogen of all races, curvy bodies is a predominantly African trait and is coined by use, we can wear our hair in all types of ways and is more beautiful and unique then any other race, and just like these girls right here their bringing up an intire culture almost forgotten to their people and could be make a new Empire in the making...name one race of women who can do all that and still be oppressed?
Sorry I meant feminine
Andri Ramirez i feel like black women inspired all women to stand strong.
Honestly.
Andri Ramirez did she say other races of women are not equal to black women? no. this video is highlighting black culture that showcased beautiful black women. that's like shining a light on a soloist but you want it to be a group performance. lmao that's how things work sis. let us have our shine.
Thanks for the video.
I'm Afo American (Afican American )and never knew there were afo Mexicans. Many blessings to the brothers and sisters!
I love this group and appreciate their pride in their identity. Do they know the second president of Mexico was a black man? He actually fought for the liberation of Mexico.
The first Governor of California was also an Afro-Mexican.
@@rosemarysene2349 Each one teach one. Prayers up 🙏🏿
He was mixed, as most Mexicans. He also abolished slavery I believe.
@Martin Hernandez Go check your FACTS. I presume you've heard of the one drop blood y'all created right 😂 LMAO
@Martin Hernandez He was black...Everybody is black..The first white man on earth was black.
They're so beautiful wow
Nhery Leila J ikr
They are beautiful!!!!!!!
We coming back for everything black n brown pride
I was today years old when I found out there's Afro- Mexicans 😍😍
Yes ma'am! There are all types of Afro-Latinos 🙌🏾 Black folks are everywhere ✊🏽
Que Lastima. Nosotros aye en el todos el mundo. Aficanos son el pueblos primeros. 😁. Viva Africa!
The underground railroad also ran south from Texas to Mexico, Mexico's 2nd President was an Afro-Mexican.
Start opening and reading books
@@yasuke9317 Pueblo primero en que?
We're everywhere. Why are people so surprised?
Nicole ATCQFAN They have spanish in them. Im black American, but they look different than Black Americans. I see them as being mix.
JaejoongPrincess That's the beauty of genetics. When I said we're everywhere I didn't mean we look the same. Granted, I'm sure many have miscegenated genes, but not all do.
Nicole ATCQFAN i never knew, im black & this is my first time ever seeing this & hearing abt it. But yall are beautiful... Im from the south sorry if i type like im country lol
Nicole ATCQFAN I’m surprise but it’s honestly because I’m not familiar with culture down there. When I see what appears to be a black person that speaks Spanish I assume they are Dominican
some are suprise ignorance lack of wisdom.
My people...we love you
Beautiful ladies, Mexico it's rich in culture, languages and diversity that's why is a great Nation 😍🇲🇽🇲🇽❤️
They're so beautiful
Beautiful, I'm glad they're getting connected to their culture.
Love it! Super cute. Good to have pride for one’s culture.
Y'all are beautiful people, and we love you ❤.
You go girl! Black will always and forever be BEAUTIFUL! I'm Cubano & Jamaicano
That is wicked I love that mix. In Jamaica there's a lot of Afro- Latins. It is beautiful😉
Jamaicans are anglophone, they aren't Latino-descendent...
@@ChristianDoretti some of them are don't forget Jamaica hosted Spanish and portugese pirates who also dealt in human cargo
@@ChristianDorettiwho said Jamaicans were Latinos? FYI Spain did colonize Xaymaca (Jamaica) for a period before ceding to the English in 1655.
Christian Doretti & a lot of Jamaicans even have Spanish last names too & even first names
Im so proud to see this as I am a Blaxican... awesome and beautiful
Darrel Vega You are Mexican under the law. Nobody makes you fill up a race box here. You should embrace being Mexican!
Blaxican mean to have one Mexican parent and one black parent.

@@bre9328 it is lmaoo they're Mexican so it's part of their culture that's like saying Chicano isn't part of the Mexican culture just because it's made for Mexican Americans
@@bre9328 and you're probably not even Mexican so you can't even speak on this foh
This brought me so much joy
WOWWWW QUE BELLOOOOO MENSAJE MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS POR !!! LES MANDO UN SALUDO DESDE PALMSPRINGS CALIFORNIA.
