      I wouldnt call him half black when his mother was a native American woman who had most likely black ancestry herself, the man simply was an afro latino/black Mexican. He is part of the Mexican Mount Rushmore: Vicente Guerrero, Benito Juarez, Guadalupe Victoria and Miguel Hidalgo.

Cartel violence is a dif. story so don’t even think about throwing that out there. In Mexico you are not forced to have insurance for car, home or whatever. Public medical is readily available and you will not get denied help due to lack of insurance. Many things make Mexico a great country my guy just gotta come out of your doctrine and see the rest of the world for what it truly is. America is not the greatest country on earth, only Americans think that, and alot of inmigrants believe the same but when they are here and living the American nightmare (high rent, taxes, discrimination, exessive laws, killer cops, etc etc...) they realoze how good they had it down there maybe with less money but a better over all lifestyle.

      Here some history: *Mexico had the first black president of the Americas, Mr. Vicente Guerrero. He was one of the founding fathers of the Mexican Nation who insurrected and defeated the Spanish Crown to give Mexico its independence. He became President of Mexico in 1829, being the second democratically elected president to be in office in independent Mexico. His legacy comprises the formalization of the abolition of slavery and a series of groundbreaking law decrees through which he ordered that, regardless of race or place of birth, at the very moment of setting foot on Mexican grounds, every enslaved human being immediately becomes a free citizen of the Mexican Republic, without needing to fulfill any further requirements. He also established that the Mexican citizenship was to be obtained by desire and not by request. In 1849, the State of Guerrero, home to the City of Acapulco, was named in his honor. His phrase “La patria es primero” (The homeland is first) are immortalized in golden letters on the central wall above the main tribune of the Legislative Palace of San Lázaro, the main seat of the Mexican legislative power, also called The Congress of the Union. As President of Mexico, he had sovereignty over almost a half of the actual USA, which consists of Mexican land which several decades after Vicente Guerrero’s death, became, through invasion and theft, the USA that we know today.*

Vicente Guerrero and Gaspar Yanga are 2 historical legends that were abolishing and fighting against slavery before the U.S. Guerrero was a war hero and president of Mexico while Yanga established the first free colony for ex slaves and called the first Liberator of America.

    Fun fact:
    In The 1770s is when Florida Indians "collectively became known as Seminole", a name meaning "runaway." In addition to Creeks, Seminoles included Yuchis, Yamasses and a few aboriginal remnants. The population also increased with runaway slaves who found refuge among the Indians.
