Mexico's Unknown Black Community (#5)
Vložit

- Coyolillo. When most people think of Mexico, they don't imagine people of African descent. But when the Spanish colony in Mexico was first founded, they brought over thousands of slaves from Congo, Angola, Equatorial Guinea and elsewhere. Eventually they rebelled and formed their own communities deep in the mountains of Veracruz.
Today these black Mexicans still have their own community that maintains traditions going back over 500 years, paying homage to people like Yanga who led a revolt against the Spaniards. They're a distinctive town in the region of Veracruz that has it's own Carnaval, the Coyolillo Carnaval. They wear cool masks for Carnaval every February.
And they still ride around on donkeys, which I think is awesome.
I love how the man who was asked if his donkey was his car, replied by talking about the donkey's character... how sensitive and caring he was... made my day!
I noticed that too! Like, don’t objectify my freind like that guero!
That was beautiful! I think that on the hand, a car is just an assembly of metal, rubber and strange fluids put together, right! I can repair it or just junk it; on the other hand, a donkey can't be repaired, just be taken care of, [ he/she] will become your friend. That is an understatement, because a donkey can help a lot! I guess, that goes with your dog, your horse, ecetera.
Could be lovers
What if I told you that he said that it was just an animal and he was telling it to be calm. This guy an his channel, he has known idea what he is doing the transition is completely off I have family in this town and what he is saying is completely off. Just another European trying to rewrite history with absolutely no idea of what hes talking about.
Right because it was such a dumb question
Man those people are so welcoming and approachable.
Yep, that's been the DOWNFALL of our people countless times throughout history.
@@carlanickerson true
That's how they got colonized and replaced
@@nakeyaguy1364 It's not like the people who were approaching were rich as shit with all types of weapons for killing!?
It’s kinda sad how we were taught how dangerous Mexico is. I’ve been a few times and they are beautiful spirits, hard working family people. I’m glad ppl are waking up. Now I think our government didn’t want us to know the truth for whatever evil reasons.
id rather have roots and family, than fancy homes and cars. id give anything to just belong.
Not me FUCK family give me the money I'll make my own family..
@@timothyallen6766 I tried that. Im now in my 40s and still with no lineage and now I have grown kids searching, wondering and asking questions I cant answer.
@@alterego924 dont let that hold you back from the family u have now ,somtimes we can lose focus by being distracted by things we cant change when whats important has been right in front of you the whole time..

@@mrwhitez06stingray83 Blackx are gentiles
My heart sank when the young man said they lost their traditions over time. I really wanted to hear about that tree... ❤
That’s because back in colonial times they could intermarry with the natives and their kids would not be born slaves, Mind you at one point their was more Africans in Mexico than Meztizos, And the natives were still recovering from the diesases brought by Europeans, Had they chosen not to intermarry Mexico would have a solid black population.
@@BernieSanders-bn5dk That's cap many indigenous people survived because they fled to the mountains, canyons, and other isolated areas away from their cities. When a black slave led a resistance, the Spanish granted him freedom and those who lived in their new village free as well. During the resistance many of them would have died so the remaining ones would have to rely on the indigenous communities to help them survive. Just like Europeans did not know how to grow food in North America they relied on the natives to teach them, the same happened with these afro communities who would have relied on the neighboring indigenous communities to teach them how to grow corn and beans etc. Also there are 2 communities in Mexico that did not intermarry so they are full african but they are the minority compared to communities that did.
@@mystermont2019 cool, here's an excerpt I don't care too argue your disrespect on Mexican history, " history professor Dr. Rhonda M. Gonzales, asserts that Afro-Mexicans outnumbered Spanish and Mestizos in urban towns. She claims that, “[b]y 1646, the numbers increased to 116,529 for Afro-Mexicans and 35,089 for those African identified. It is clear that the number of children from mixed unions accounted for much of the growth. African-descended populations thus comprised 8.8 percent, compared to Spaniards and their descendants, who comprised 0.8 percent in 1646.” Applying Gonzales’ assertions to an urban area such as San Phelipe el Real possibly explains that the land-owning Spaniards may have been feeling the increased need to dilute the concentration of the enslaved Afro-descendant population by the 1730’s when Zabala was writing. It seems then a reasonable deduction that legislators would seek to encourage legal marriage between the enslaved Afro-descendants and the mestizo populations in an attempt to avoid an overconcentration of the enslaved Afro-descendant population in San Phelipe el Real, even if it meant creating contrast between human rights and civil liberties. "

For some reason historically and unconsciously certain groups of people always see things spiritually and certain groups of people only can see something /someone and how they can get the best use out of it.
horses and mules are very gentle and can weigh from 900 to 2,000 lbs depending on the bread that easily kill a full grown man.
Maybe because of our indigenous ancestors we loved nature and its animals one thing about us is we always liked to keep nature in its natural form not like nowadays where we constantly destroy nature for technology or paper or other stuff
Absolutely loved this especially the moments at the tree. I Would love to visit during the Canival as well, thank you for sharing.
i come with you beautiful
I've heard there are similar communities in Oaxaca and Guerrero - possible future videos coming up!
, Thank you for sharing these beautiful videos be safe 😷✌🏾
this is awesome bro! im a sociologist, your videos are basically ethnogrographies ! great content!
TONSSSS in Guerrero
Yanga is an interesting town because was founded by "cimarrones" that means black people who fled from slavery, actually Yanga is the name of a black heroe who freed several people.
All along Costa Chica en Guerrero and Oaxaca there are people who is of black descendants. No surprise there. In fact, 30 years ago, I had a girlfriend from Juchitán Oaxaca. Beautiful girl! I hope she's happy and healthy...
Shout out to my beautiful Afro Latins where years ago I found out there's nearly a million but because of colorism that exists nearly everywhere they are invisible.
It's not because of colorism. In Mexico and most Latin American countries everyone is mixed. In the same families you will have black, brown, and white. The racism that existed in the US didn't exist in Mexico and Central America. Every Latino has DNA of all three groups European, Black and Native American. In Mexico the genetic contribution is higher on the Native American side, lower on on the European and even lower on the African. In contrast, in the Dominican republic the genetic contribution is higher on the African, lower on the European and even lower on the Native American. Then in Argentina is higher on the European, lower on the Indian and even lower on the African. Depending on the overall genetic makeup of the population that determines how the people look. In Mexico people look like Native American, in Dominican Republic they look Black and white in Argentina. But they all have all 3 racial makeup. You also need to remember that Mexico has over 120 million people, 1 million having African roots is still a pretty low number and the part is they are not all concentrated in specific regions with some very few exceptions that's because people were not segregated from each other. Blacks mixed. They took Indian partners and sometimes white European Spanish. In my family we have all colors and mixes. We don't defined ourselves by the American or European standard on race which is very foolish when you tried to apply it to a society that wasn't segregated or kept oppressed like they did in the United States.
@@blackgoldentertainmentchan4892 the majority of people of color in America have an ethnic mix of at least 25% or more like you mentioned whether they "look" like it or not or accept it due to colonization. My family looks like the United Nations as well with various hues of skin, body types, and mostly wavy hair textures and globally it doesn't matter whether one defines themselves by the American or European standard since race was and still is a social construct. Slavery, eugenic practices, those who procreated with other groups willingly or unwillingly, those who "passed" as the majority, as well as physical displacement will continue to be the manner in which the determining factor in how a person "sees" or places value on another. Having family, friends, and colleagues from various ethnic backgrounds and cultures etc; the one constant be it locally or globally is the skin currency that lighter skin has afforded others and it's relation to beauty, desirability, value, and whether or not you're perceived as a threat. Be that as it may, there's NOTHING foolish about applying it since generations upon generations of people were under social hygiene laws, mainstream perceptions of beauty and cleanliness, in addition to who was labeled as the working class on a global scale whether one was segregated or not or what their native tongue was. There's a horrible caste system in India based on skintone where one is considered "dusky" or a "darkie" if the skin is more tan since that denotes that you work outside and you don't have the preferred more milky complexion of Aishwarya Rai. Alot of Latinos who were never endlaved don't claim the African diaspora in their mix although we know it exists and lighter skin is favored in Asian culture as well. I've had the extensive conversations regarding racial identity etc with these individuals so I didn't pull it out of the air and getting it straight from the horse's mouth holds more weight and value than perception since it's often not the reality. Regardless of origin, disparaging remarks are still made about the texture of people's hair, facial features, and origin and since I know what I and others have experienced coupled with the scholarly research, it's quite foolish to negate that colorism doesn't exist everwhere because it's very much alive and well. While it's ideal and healthy for us to define ourselves, others do so quite negatively which is most unfortunate.
It’s sad that you perceive that they are invisible in Mexico, they’re not. Even Vicente Guerrero was the first AfroMexican President, the state of Guerrero was named after him.
@@goforit321 it's NOT perception but it's sad when groups within a groups' blood line are treated and viewed differently and this treatment came directly from them. It's worse when people don't want to believe one's personal experience and spoken truth but I digress. Peace

I’m glad I stumbled upon this video. My only complaint is that it was way too short. That said, I really liked the vibe of the host. His energy is so laid back and calm.
Is it me or did I not see any black person 😅
Afro is every where. I still can’t understand how people want to leave us out of everything. We are Everywhere ♥️
And to make matters worse when you black Americans travel to other countries you want to promote black extremism and black racism to other people about white people and how bad they are as if you guys are so good
@@ccbnmcdubb8304 perhaps you had a specific with ONE African American that led you to believe that, but the type of African American that is not a tourist and goes overseas does not generally behave that way. Please refrain from ignorant generalizations.
@@sonjalivingston8241 on the contrary Sonia I've traveled to a lot of places and that is exactly the type of black American who travels overseas especially the ones that like to go into Africa and spread their hate and their ignorance to Africans Africans by Nature are not like black Americans and I do not like to see black Americans going to places like Africa and South America Etc trust me it's not just one I've seen many I will generalize on black Americans because black Americans generalize on everybody else
@@ccbnmcdubb8304 I already knew the part about Africans not liking to see African Americans in Africa, but I though it was just from all the stereotypes hyped in the media. Again, are we talking about tourists or the people who go there to live? Personally, I don't like to see that either overseas or here in the USA; it is an embarrassment to the rest of us.
@@ccbnmcdubb8304 I'm one of many African Americans I know that don't generalize on everyone else, despite the fact that I have experienced racism and discrimination here since childhood. We have chosen not to generalize on the basics of specific people that we have encountered, as that would completely jade us about everyone on the categories of those specific people. That is unhealthy an builds needless anger and resentment
People don’t understand that for the most part the smaller towns (villages) are safer and the people are so nice. I have family in a small town in Veracruz and a lot of people know each other.
I would love to visit.
I lived in a small town in Mexico, three hours from the border and that's where I experienced the finger pointing and laughing at me. I felt so "othered" my boyfriend who was Mexican had to threaten a few people for the way they were acting towards me. These people were not use to seeing anyone who doesn't look like them, much like small town people in America too.
I am a new subscriber to your channel. I love what you are doing showing that my people are everywhere . I feel so proud that these locals are accepting the fact that they are black. Unlike the ppl of Dominican republic and Puerto Rico where the dark in one's say they are not black they are Hispanic. Have you done any videos of blacks in DR or Puerto Rico?. I am from a tiny island called Dominica. Sometimes mistaken for Dominican republic. But I live in the US
@@aurorarene9909 thats weird.. Mexico has a lot of white people too
@@1fault Mexico has a lot of white people. And it all depends on where you live as to whether you'll get the strange looks. It's the same as small town America. These people in small towns anywhere can be very tribalistic. I fit in perfectly in Puerto Vallarta where I live for several months. I don't like that many whites own everything there. But going to a small, depending on where it is, you might have a different experience. I love Mexico. It's a big country made up of many states and it definitely can't be painted with a broad brush. Each state, city, are different. When I stayed in Guanajuato, many weren't mean or gave me weird looks, they just weren't as friendly. I loved Guadalajara when I went for a summer study abroad program in 1993. I lived with a Mexican lady--it was there where I was lavished with so much attention from older women and Mexican men. I've never been kissed so much. They were enamored with my black skin. And the guys came on to me more than the other white girls I went with. And they made it known to me that all the guys liked me. But it was like I was a purple bird amongst all yellow birds. I was different they are used to seeing Mexican women and white women, but not black women. It was an amazing experience. I want to go to Oaxaca next.
You right Black people all over the world are kind and friendly and forgiving and will nurse you if and when needed. They are the people who always get step on here in America be cause of the color of the skin. But one day none blacks will answer to the higher power for questioning and dissing the people of color.
We were never the aggressor, thank the European for the quest of world domination!
@DEBBIE PUMPHERY Adam and Eve 💙👏🏽! They don’t know we are the only race that can make multi colored different hair colors and eyes children as a black couple lol! These fools are looney. Just yesterday I read about a white supremacist who found out he had 14% African (black) dna lol. He was heartbroken 💔 to find out the truth. Look like a pure blooded European with black blood ain’t that some isghhhh lmao. We are Gods chosen ones the real Jews and Israelites…….

You better know it
The whole planet is about to find out who the golden race is and why!!🙂🙃
Dr. Gates mentioned and interviewed Black Mexicans in his documentary “Blacks In Latin America “. The documentary is 6 or years old. Watch it, it was shown on PBS.
I remember seeing Dr Gates DOCUMENTARIES.
I watched all the episodes in Nigeria like 6/7yrs ago.
Yeah but he hides truth and won't get into the black people of ancient Mesoamerica.
Yeah he did, he visited Veracruz for a bit but went across to the other coast and visited communities in Guerrero that we're also established hundreds of year's ago by enslaved black ppl in Mexico
Its really sad to see the older mexican generation go. I remember when i visited mexico as a kid every town you went the elder ppl always said good day, good evening, good night, it was a good feeling. They greeted to anyone stranger or friend.
I’m amazed at how many languages you know. It’s very cute how you speak Spanish in Mexico with Spaniard’s accent and using “vos”.
I love your videos and your friendly open travel style. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
yeah lmao, its funny he translated coche as "car" while in mexico
That is because Tom learned spanish in Argentina.

Nice video, this is the first time I have seen this tiny part of Black Mexico along the gulf coast. I live in the heart of Black Mexico in the Costa Chica de Guerrero, municipio de Cuajinicuilapa, along the pacific coast, and it is so interesting to see the similarities between the Black communities on either coast. However, the one difference I do note, is that where I live in the Costa Chica, it is a little more primitive, more "wild west" and definitely more insecure. But I've been here for 28 years, so I'm used to it. Saludos
Oh please. People of color were the first people on this planet. All peoples started in Africa and migrated. Jesus was black. That's why he was hated. That's why all black people are hated. If you are black, you should know this if you are NOT, start studying and come into the light.

It shouldn’t have taken you 5 hours to go back to Veracruz especially if you were driving. Next time stay in Xalapa, the state capital and much closer to Coyolillo - a 40 minute ride. That was very interesting. There’s another town, Yanga, closer to Veracruz, which is famous because of the rebellion of blacks against the Spanish during colonial times. It’s now recognized as one of the first struggles for independence in Mexico’s history.

Enjoyed this
In my younger days, before the internet, I attended a Nation of Islam speech by Khalid Mohammed (he's since passed away). He spoke of all things pertaining to black people. At the end, he allowed questions. One question was , "Are there black people in all countries on earth?" He answered yes. They may not be identified as black, but locally they are known and discriminated against just the same.
Also, I was friends with a dark skinned man from India. I ask him that very question. He told me to take a good look at him. Then tell him. I refused because I respected him too much to offend him. He told me he is black. There are lots of black people like him in India and they were discriminated against in India. He said a lot of darker skinned come to the states to get away from the discrimination, not just education and jobs. White Americans don't discriminate against them as being black. He said that's was their way of passing, but he wouldn't do it.
I'm guessing a lot of people in the world who are black, and not from Africa, come to the US and become caucasian. I'm in LA, and I'm a black person from Louisiana. I see a lot of hispanic people who have black ancestry in them, and its recent.

If you don't look black then you aint black period
@@hueynewton9668 u gotta keep in mind genetics don’t split dna 50/50 plus most Afro Mexicans now are mixed with natives etc.
No, it's not that he didn't want to speak about his African heritage. I was there and I met lots of Afro-Mexicans. They're just careful about opening up to any Gringo because they don't know what they're up to. But once they know that you're truly interested in their story they open up to you. Don't forget they're really being discriminated against in Mexico and it's now that some Mexicans are fighting for their rights in Mexico City. As of 2019 when I was there, in some of their communities they didn't even have in door plumbing let alone drinkable water. And I came back to the States with tons of projects in mind to go back and help as an African myself. Then, Coronavirus came and disrupted everything. So, my experience is that even if they cannot tell you anything about their African heritage, they will readily tell you of their African extraction. They do like Afro Iraki in the city of Basra in Iraq or the Afro Indians in tribal areas of India. So, if you're young and interested in their story, I will highly encourage to go research them yourself and then go to see Afro Peruvians and Ecuadorians in South America. I visited a town outside Lima Peru, it was as if I was back to Africa or your'e in downtown Baltimore or Oakland before gentrification or Harlem for that matter. Food for thought. Peace.

Ive seen a lot of your videos. This one is definitely at the top for me. Being from Panama im very used to Afro Latinos or half Latino half Black like myself. Living in South Tx since 2001, there are a lot of Mexicans here that have no idea there is a such thing as Afro Mexicano. Stay safe my guy. Also what part of NY are you from?
Afro community in México is only 1.4 percent, it is a tiny community in a very large country of 130 million people! It's very possible that a lot of Mexican ppl don't know about this community. USA ppl with their racial paranoia, always has to look at things thru skin color, and turn things into an ugly racial thing! They are so pitiful!! His words seem to be leading into a racial thing, so pathetic!

Not sure why I’m backtracking on your videos. Started on the African episodes, now on the Mexico episodes.
I’ve come to a conclusion. All of the major networks could easily build a show around you and pay you well for it. I’ve also concluded that you’re too good for that.
My son's great great grandma was black and came from Mexico. This was interesting, thanks
I went abroad first time 51 years old and went to Mexico Berriozabál Chiapas for 2 years loved it there . From Iceland lived with Aztec people there
Is it easy to move there for a black American?
Most Mexican people welcome everyone with open arms. It's not perfect but people make a big difference you will love it.
Bucket listed! Thank you!
What did the lady cook you for breakfast?
eggs
Your conversation with the woman cooking I assume, beautiful and sad. When she was talking about those who come here and lose their dreams.. then those who work just to support their families here.. perspective huh.. I never really criticized the Spanish people I worked with for doing this even though many didn't pay taxes .. honestly I don't blame them .. and all the more real when you show videos of many of these countries .. they need to send every dime they can just to make sure they don't starve .. much love bro for having these conversations and learning the languages enough to have these conversations in the first place ! ❤️❤️
Fascinating!!
Really crazy but true worldwide! No Cap
Bro you need to change the title... Where are all the people lol 🤣🤣 🤣 nice trees and roads tho🤔
Black people scattered throughout the four corners of the Earth yes we are everywhere on planet Earth
Irealites everywhere
Your a blessing taking time to get to know them
That country is almost exactly the same as the philippines.(they were governed from Acapulco)
You have the people called "negritos" original inhabitant of the Philippines
Cool to see.mexicano morenos like us puertoriqueño y cubanos y dominicanos en la Caribbean
Wtf, i don't know your life, yet people see what they want to see, and hear what they often want to hear.
It's not a problem 99% of the time and places... wtf is happening? I feel like our awesome country was way more unified 30 years ago, than today.
The media is creating a lot of this "racial tension".
Just treat others how you would want to be treated...simple.
Its unknown to colonizers. We love Mexican people in Africa.
How do You get to learn languages easily?
Was thinking the same- impressive!
he's humble and puts in the work to get out of his comfort zone

What she said is very true and real when you were eating at the table
Many blacks fled to Mexico because slavery was outlawed in Mexico. Interesting video, thx
Mexicans over here discriminate against blk ppl almost as badly as Esau does.
Yes, and people try and say that they are Isralites,
@@Blackhebrew01 Its very ignorant to classify a whole race/people over an ignorant experience. You need to stop being so carnal minded. This is the problem with our people. We use 1 experience and ruin it for everyone else?????🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
@@KontrolledKaoz you have the audacity to call someone ignorant when you are the one that is ignorant, I guess you are calling The Most High God ignorant as well, Deuteronomy 7:For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself,( above all people) that are upon the face of the earth. I didn't say it God said it, since you were so quick to insult me without just cause, I'll be waiting for an apology, unless you're to stiff neck and stubborn. Exodus 32:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Baruch 2:30 For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves. Acts 7: 51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.( Are you a stiff neck Christian).
History is a very important part of our lives
Ivan van Sertma wrote a very well researched and documented account of the Afrikan presence in the America's. " They came before Columbus". is the title of the book. The America's have a history most of us are unaware of.
Read the book, real eye opener.
It's full of lies
FACTS! Africans were in the Americas long before Columbus. That's in the Egyptian archives. The White man will tell you otherwise.
One of every 4 Mexican has Black BLOOD in them. One of the first Governors of Mexico was Black. And his picture is in the palace of Mexico. The Black gene has been depleted because of all the RACE mixing. Yes, there was a slave ship that landed in Mexico.
@@jamesli2441 He's damn right. Africans were here long before Columbus .The White man lied to us for a very long time that Columbus was the first to discover the Americas when there were Indigenous peoples living here long before he came. Then they changed it to he was the first European. And so much more BULLSHIT that we've been fed. All LIES. History NEEDS to be rewritten.
Very interesting some parts looks beautiful
Good episode in Honduras there are a lot of black people 👍🇬🇭
I love this. Thank you brother
The largest slave trade of Africans were in mexico. A lot of black people and white people and especially Latinos have no knowledge of this. A few years ago Mexico allowed Mexicans to identify their African roots and the Mexican census. Thank you for doing this podcast.
As far I'm concerned the biggest slave trade was in Brazil, you can notice as at least 40% of the population is black or have some black descent ( which pass millions of people )
@@gustavog.hasegawa5360 you know I thought so too but you don't have a PhD in anthropology and Dr Gates from Harvard University confirm that Mexico had the largest slave trade in the world of Africans! Now you might have a PhD from Harvard and African American diaspora studies but you wouldn't have said what you said if you had that type of education.
@@sherrancehenderson5915 Why are you mad tho? Did you ever studied about the African diaspora? Make a quick search about it, Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish the slavery and you can see it on the population which is the largest black population outside Africa, if you are so educate please don't mind to search about this topic, besides have a nice day.
Woooooo 😂
……never expected those cool masks! Awesome!
Unknown black community with not a single black person there
Wow, Tom, I'm loving these videos of Mexico you are producing, it is calming and destiny erupting... lived on the west side but the east side of Mexico is so more inviting, must explore and will be at the Carnival this year descending on Coyolillo again. Salude... me amigo. Cervesas por todo.
They don't teach that in the history books
Guess i missed it. Where were the black mexicans?
En USA la discriminación es peor .. cada quien con su raza
Asi es.....hasta que los paisas de Guerrero se juntan con puro los de Guerrero, los de Puebla con puros poblanos, chinos con chinos, hindu con hindu, etc. Aqui en Mexico, picamos con todos!!...jaja
