Mexican is not a race, it’s a nationality.
Like jamaican
Like Puerto Rican, Dominican, Guatemalan, Columbian, Salvadorian, Haitian, Peruvian, Panamanian, Belizean, Brazilian etc.
Right. He’s still black
We all on the same page my brothers ✊🏽
Facts! Media doesn’t show you there is a whole afro-Hispanic community in Mexico.
Media only shows you the pale-skin Eurocentric looking Mexicans.
There's entire black enclaves in Mexico. He's ethnically black
Correction: African Descent
Ethnically Black mean Black American. Nobody else is ethnically Black.
Ethnically Black ? No
@@AmericanKing00 yes he’s African Mexican black/ African just like we have African American. African/black is his ethnicity Mexican is his nationality he’s just not black meaning African American which most people think when they hear black but it really means African decent
there’s white (European) Mexicans too so Mexican is a nationally not a ethnicity so 80% of Mexicans are Mestizos meaning
mixed with native/ indigenous and European specifically from Spain blood
Just like here we have natives/ indigenous Americans whites and blacks Mexico has whites blacks and native/indigenous the difference is the Spanish Europeans who went to Mexico mixed with the natives to make a new ethnicity which are Mestizos which are 80% of Mexicans but when Europeans went to America they brought woman over so they didn’t need to take native woman they just wiped 90% of the native population there wasn’t a lot of mixing
Great breakdown too manh ignorant blCks on here @@fourthreefour
@@fourthreefour He's just Mexican. Black ethnically is Black American/African American. So you're wrong. And African doesn't mean Black.
I’m Afro Mexican. I don’t know why Americans always think Africans were only brought to the US
True
We know that yall are the ones that don't seems to realize that it black everywhere.
@@AnthonyYeomancap. Most Americans think Latino is a race. And when I say American Im including the so called Latinos that was born there, they american too and preach the same foolishness .
Black Americans usually know
Oh it’s not just Americans bro. I retired to Mexico and most are unaware that there are Mexicans of African descent.
He’s just a Mexican with African ancestry. Hence why, he looks black. But he’s Mexican
Most Californians are Hispanic, melinated, ice cube, etc , kevinstage, is from New Mexico, exhibit form new Mexico....
@@Arisingaboriginal if he did a ancestry test, hes definitely predominately African, some Taino and some European. But mainly African.
How is he Mexican and he has never lived in Mexico 🤔 He was born in North Carolina and moved to Orange county Lollll
He black period
mexican isnt a race .. hes an afro latino aka hes black
There is a whole population of Afro-Mexican people. He’s in fact both black and Mexican. 🤷🏾♂️
Yes indeed a whole population of afro-Mexicano...
Mexican is not a race. He's just black
They’re less than 1% of the population. Very small and insignificant they barely exist
So called “Black” is Mexican lol Mexican is just a person in Mexico 😂 it’s the same for the rest of the South American and Caribbean
@@FelixCruz-gu1zm it's 2 million people
it amazes me how many ppl never heard of afro mexicans 🤦♂️
Afro Latino
It amazes me that HE hasn't heard of Afro Mexicans.
😂 Look at the FBA tethers
Because they are a small population and mainly come from slavery
There are people in Mexico to this day who deny the existence of Mexicans of African descent. They swear up and down that they’re not black but indigenous. To which I respond, I know a person of African descent when I see one. Can’t explain it but we just know
Afro-Mexicano. My grandmother was from down there too. She considered herself Mexican but was dark. Mexican yes and Black yes.
Exactly
Cap
@@freedomaboveallllno it’s not you just mad
Mexican is nationality not a race.
Mexican is what u have at heart
“Black” is not just African American. Slaves were sent all over Latin America and the Caribbean. More slaves sent there than the United States. Plenty of Afro Latinos. You can be black and Hispanic simultaneously. The end. Just like a Jamaican and an African American both black but also not from the same culture. It shouldn’t be this hard in 2024 to understand this
Plenty of Afro Latinos in Major League Baseball.
Exactly!!
Bro no we were already here in the AMERICAS BEFORE SLAVERY
No, Pangea and when the tectonic plates split, we already had been everywhere once
I just say colored
Slavery was everywhere you geniuses. Not just the US. This isn’t something hard to figure out.
True, but it’s worth noting that Mexico abolished Slavery as soon as they became independent from Spain.. long before the U.S. Mexicans also assisted slaves through the underground rail road movement.
@@whayes8084 the reason why blacks were in Mexico is because they fled the United States during slavery. Their masters used to try and come get them back and Mexico would say no, so they established their own towns and it is well documented in those places in Mexico
There a black Mexicans, just like there are white ones, full indigenous and Mestizo (mixed native and european). Mexican is a nationalty, ethnicity and culture. Not a race
HOWEVER, the black ones are native while the white ones are descendants of SPANISH INVADERS!
Both can be true. Black people are in every country.
Not in china 😂
@@IvoryDuran-wo7ys including China.
@@MarioEatsLocal ok Bruce Lee Roy 😂😂😂

Go to Nicaragua and Oaxaca , belize , youll see a bunch like him
He's of African descent but/how he grew up , he thinks hes mexican , im American but I'm of African descent
Oaxaca no way that’s doknow ! Knock it off ! He looks black, Nicaraguans don’t look black at all your delusional ! 🤣

@@10thlettervisuals Elon Musk is of African descent .....you're just OOA babbling
Dominican Republic and Cuba too
Being Mexican from Cali from a mostly Mexican city idk why everyone so shook. I’ve seen Mexicans whiter that snow I have a cousin that’s ginger. And me personally I’ve been told I look Arab. I’ve went to school with a lot of black looking Mexicans even Asian looking we just all consider ourselves Latino Hispanic it’s what we know we don’t usually get into the whole background thing not really needed.
Real, some people in the US are just weird about the race thing idk, any person from any Latin American country would find normal a black person being from their country, maybe not Argentina though but that's a diff thing lol
This homie had a hard life... much respect to this young one and I hope he succeeds.
A dna test will tell him genetically he’s predominantly west African. There are at least a million plus Afro Mexicans in Mexico. Culturally he’s Mexican
Dark skin people like him been in Mexico before the slaves this has already been proven. Before the Spanish they looked like him.
A lot of Afro-Mexicans are indeed not mostly West African, just higher than the average Mexican.
@@Corilla72 not true my gramps is Afro Mexicano from la costa chica de Mexico and all 3 dna tests I did all my African was from East Africa and north a little south no west African at all?
DNA tests are false just because you're black does not mean you're from Africa.
@@AceThecreator-pp4xlmost of them descended from west Africans though. You gramps was the exception. It's historically document that the Spanish took enslaved people from west Africa. Although the first people who came to the Americas with the Spanish were moors (north Africans) so that could be what it is
He definitely got African genes 🧬
no shit...i thought he had european genes..lmfao
@@benitojuarez999 tf u talkn bout
@@ZohanGamez tf u think im saying goffy...of course he has african genes genius..thank u for stating the obvious..
@@benitojuarez999 apparently they don’t know cuz they all surprised that hes “Mexican “
@@ZohanGamez now youre confusing yourself.. you wrote he has african genes..and i said thats obvious...thats all..
Black people been in Mexico since the Olmec
Theirs melinated ppl everywhere black is considered only for the black Americans born in the u.s. not all skin folk kin folks
@@Arisingaboriginal off the dribble
Wrong info not tru
No they didnt kid. Just cuz you seen pictures of the Olmec statues and seen the wide noses and big lips doesnt mean they were black. There still Native Mexicans in Mexico that have the same features as the Olmec status. Polynesians possibly were also here as well because the were voyagers sailing through the pacific ocean finding islands to claim until they finally set foot in the the Americas
@@BruceGuerrero210 shut up fool 😂
You can hear the Mexican accent. You can't hide it.
Lmao bro wanna be 100% black

Mexico is ethnically diverse and has a large population of Afro descendants especially in the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca. People don’t talk about it but Mexico is also part of the African diaspora.
He is Black, but from Mexico 🇲🇽
Exactly 😂
no he is black and mexican, but from the US
@@benitojuarez999Chicano
@@Ok-js1gjmakes sense his accent.
He's from Winston Salem, North Carolina but raised in Santa Ana, California
It’s sad how people deny who they are he is definitely Afro- Mexican
Look it too
It’s probably because he’s Mexican. It’s not like Panama or Dominican Republic. He might not know his bloodline
He just from a different tribe that's it
No doubt
hes not denying it its just not worth getting into from people that dont know. if you're dominican or you're cuban or "from the islands" as someone once told me, they accept it. if you're mexican or spanish, they're like but how? i'm black and spanish and here and there some people just cant comprehend you being that mix without being "from the islands"
There are black Guatemalans, too. Coach da Ghost said he is a black Guatemalan. He even lived in Guatemala when he was younger. There are black Panamanians, too. Pop Smoke's father was Panamanian.
yup the most afros in central america are in Costa rica and Panama. Im Jamaican costa rican, so are most of the blacks in central america, panama's black history is just a littttle different. Beautiful cultures
@@idreesknocks9178 I read that Honduras has the highest African ancestry in Central America from the Garifuna, Miskitos, Mulattoes, and Africans which make 30% of the country.

Everyone is different shades of brown.
we indigenous bro ,black dont exist !
black people are not the same as the black people you claim to be. So let’s be real. Hypothetically Thats like if i said my people have roots in Ethiopia, just cuz i said they look like me doesnt mean im the same as them. But anyways black people didnt start here
@@brooklyn6264black has existed for thousands of years thousands of years, go read a book
Yea man just like me I’m a African European, these guys are African American, this man is African Mexican. Although we from African descent we talk different and act different then the 100% Africans born in Africa. So in reality although our blood is African we more European, American, or Mexican then African because of where we were born/raised.
He is black why is everybody acting so ignorant
Because they are we think America and Africa is the only place black people live ignorance at its finest
He is not blk tho…
They not acting. They are ignorant

@@boogidwnej179Right lol
All of a sudden EVERYONE is a race/nationality expert hahahahha these comments wild 😂 😂 I love how Mexicans and blacks always arguing over some shit we both always feel like we right 😂 😂 I love it!! We like brothers that always fight but love each other REAL TALK!
You don't have to be an expert to understand the definitions of words my boy. Ethnicity and nationality are two completely different things and all it takes to understand the difference between the two is a having a functioning brain. If you can read the words from a dictionary than you'll understand the difference.
@@Left4d3adfreak1well said💯‼️🏆👑💪🏾👍🏾
You’re complicating an issue that isn’t complicated.
A small number of Africans were brought to what is today Mexico. Over hundreds of years their population increased. Most people in Mexico who have African blood are mixed-race.
Not fighting. We’re just having a civil discourse and sharing knowledge. Knowing is understanding and understanding bridges gaps. Personally I have much love for Mexican people
@@Left4d3adfreak1he think only genios talk about común concepts. He must be tripping processing so much new information😂
He definitely talks like a mexican from the west coast with a mix of black lingo
There’s Latinos way darker then him Trell lol
They black too
@@DonnieDaytimeabsolutely!!
Yes, the so-called Latinos, who are darker than him are black too! Latino, Caribbean, central, or South American, if they look black, it’s because they are black! 🙄🤷🏾♂️
it's called Afro-Latinos?
He's most definitely BLACK! Bro hair jus as nappy as mines 😂
The’re black people or people with black heritage everywhere in the world. There’s black Filipinos to call Aeta People. They are the indigenous people of the Philippines before the Chinese looking one’s came. Look up Aeta people. They are called
Nigeritos
Let common sense kick in: I don’t have to hear him speak and I don’t have to read anything about him. Just look at the young man, …HE’S BLACK.
Facts ppl don’t look like that without some African ancestry in their dna 😂😂💯 the lack of knowledge in the world is crazy
His race is black or aboriginal, because Black people are original to the Planet Mexican is his nationality. He wanted to let Be known he Mexican though, so let him claim that
@@theelovelydarkhole7556 He wanted it to be known by bringing his skin color up. He’s putting his Nationality before his Race. As if he’s ashamed. And sorry Lady, Mexico just recently acknowledged the Black Mexicans in their country. Before that, they were treated and viewed as 2nd class citizens… You know why - because of this 🤚🏾. So when you get done telling people to let this young man claim his nationality, make sure you tell him that his “nation” 🇲🇽 didn’t give a damn about him or his family, for centuries. Why? because of this 🤚🏾. His country views him as Black first, not Mexican, and so do we. Now go run tell dat.
@@theelovelydarkhole7556 Stop it. He’s acting like he’s ashamed of his skin color. You know why? Because his own damn nation 🇲🇽 is.

His own damn country views his skin color first before nationality, and so do we. You wanna know why… Lol, because of this 🤚🏾.
Now go run tell dat
Period bro
Look black! Use black lingo! Dress URBAN I mean I don’t SEE where the Mexican heritage is on display besides him verbally claiming it I guess but shoutout to the youngster he’s doing his stuff no matter what he’s a lot further in life than I was at his age no cap salute homie keep elevating
His parents are from Guerrero so he’s probably 1st generation Chicano what more could you ask for 😅
you literally just described more than 75% of mexican hoods in california

He is definitely of Afro descent he is just from Mexico black disposal is one of the biggest issues in the world because we actually were the first human being to walk on earth one that's just one, two people need to do history and researches a lot of the freed slaves and runaway slaves went to Mexico because Mexico was the first country to abolish slavery and there is many many scholars that were equivalent freedom fighters indigenous to Mexico afro Hispanic
Exactly you’re brainwashed with the story from out of Africa. Mexico was as big as the U.S. back in the ancient day when they got invaded. Nigga we’re all descendants from the same people of the five races. I understand what you say melanin is the origin of what makes us the first human ! But no one is African were Indians America khan’s. Your just blobbing one what someone else said no proof. Do you even know half of your ancestors from way back then I bet you don’t.
He don't look black. He is black. There are so many black folks that live in Mexico and have been there for Hundreds of years
@trueelementsoul3527 There is no place in Mexico that look like you could be in Nigeria.
@@1stnamebr406 You are mistakenly wrong, sir. You should go back and do some heavy research.
@@trueelementsoul3527 Black people came into Mexico by way of the Atlantic Slave Trade in the 1500s. Show me one video that shows Mexico looking like Nigeria or even Haiti. Post the link.
The thing is TRell grew in LA when the Black vs Brown beef was taking off. To him, being Latino didnt include Afro Latinos.
Latinos we were also ignorant to the whole color issue. We had a Guatamalam homeboy get pressed in Watts all the time, because he's an Afro Latino.
There's a gang of Hispanics that dont like to believe that theres an African influence within all Latin America. They glorify lighter skin, and also diss native looking folks.
We still have some ignorance to address within our culture.
what gang hates on native hispanics and glorifys lighter skin?
He’s from Guerrero for sure 😅😂❤ if you know Guerrero Guerrero has an Afro Mexican culture deep in its roots
Between 1502 and 1866, of the 11.2 million Africans taken, only 388,000 arrived in North America. The rest went to Brazil, the European colonies in the Caribbean, and Spanish territories in Central and South America, in that order. These slaves were brought as early as the 16th and 17th centuries.
About 5% of Africans brought to the Americas were brought to modern-day Mexico. That is why there is a relatively small but not-non-existent population of people of African descent in Mexico today.
Thank you! In the 2020 Census, it's the FIRST TIME EVER Black Mexicans are recognized and counted! Bless Up❤
If he's full mexican I got a bald homie with dreads 😂😂😂. He gonna do a 23 and me and realize he's like 70% West African 😂😂😂. Can't make this shit up
Open a book and read
@@zGrimFuL Seems like you need to read about the slave trade. The indigenous people of the America's are descendants of the Asians that migrated to the America's 20+ thousand years ago when what is now Russia was connected to what is now Alaska through the ice Bridge. This is why native alaskans look virtually the same as modern day Asians. As those tribes migrated south and got acclimated to new climates features began to change noses got wider hair got more corse skin got darker. Drex is a descendant of African slaves he probably doesn't have more than 20-30% indigenous hispanic blood the rest of that is West African. You read a book
@@zGrimFuL If you think he's full mexican and not 70-80% West African I'm not the one who needs to open a book, it's you
@@Black_Jus202 so black Mexicans in Mexico are also 80% west African to you?
@@zGrimFuL The percentages will vary, but yes. The slave trade went to Mexico. And race mixing was not something that was encouraged it was discouraged, colorism is a big problem in Latin America. Same goes for Dark Skinned Puerto Ricans Cubans Dominicans etc. Without the slave trade coming here you don't get that hair texture and features.
People confuse nationality with race
Bro he is black I speak Spanish my mother is Panamanian I’m black
he doesn't want to be ...stockholm syndrome is real
You're from Panama but black is a race. But obviously we know which holds black people by saying their place of residence, America, Hawaii, India, Africa, etc

My dad is black as coffee and he is cuban
Ain't no one doubting that there is black people in Cuba lmao. Everyone know that, it's afro Mexicans that surprise people.
He’s probably Olmec/Black Seminoles. A lot of them moved from Oklahoma to set themselves free from slavery in Mexico, cuz Mexico wasn’t down with slavery. We indigenous/Native the original Native American Seminoles.
I wanna see the 23 and me dna test ASAP 😂 😂
His heart will break. He doesn't understand he comes from a rich African heritage. Gaspar Yanga - often simply Yanga or Nyanga (May 14, 1545 - 1618) was an African who led a Maroon colony of enslaved Africans in the highlands near Veracruz, Mexico (then New Spain) during the early period of Spanish colonial rule. He successfully resisted a Spanish attack on the colony in 1609. The maroons continued their raids on Spanish settlements. Finally in 1618, Yanga achieved an agreement with the colonial government for the self-rule of the maroon settlement. It was later called San Lorenzo de los Negros, and also San Lorenzo de Cerralvo
@@truth2powermillions400 I agree with your history report…. I think we can All Agree that there were Africans in “Mexico” at one point and time.. I don’t think Mexicans deny that…. Technically is he Mexican… Yes but realistically he has a lot of African blood in him.. much love and respect

@HomieLx Okay? They can say what they want but they’re still Afro Latino aka black. Lol.
Alot of people dont know, but alot of slaves shipwrecked, and escaped, to Mexico, there are alot of Afro Mexicans, in fact a few Mexican Presidents where Afro Mexican.... interesting fact, the Afro Mexicans in Mexico, on the coast, created a tradition of battle rapping in Spanish that is hundreds if years old and they still practice this tradition today.
Ain’t no slave ship wrecked nowhere melanated ppl were already there stop the false info. Go learn your history
Lies
Mexico was a slave colony not a shipwreck. Go read a book
Not denying the shipwreck part, but It’s bigger than a shipwreck. Mexico was a Slave Colony during the Transatlantic slave trade era bringing many Africans to Mexico during that time. European colonialism led to many of the Native Mexican people being mixed with European, and then with there being a small percentage of Africans in Mexico there could have been some mixing there too. That’s why today we see Mexicans of all shades, some that look like Canelo Alvarez, and some that look like the guy in this video, but they both have Mexican heritage. Hella interesting information though.
@@freshshwag1327 a shipwreck don't account for the Afro Mexicans and their legacy and contributions to that country. You can't be that weak
Search up costa chica de Guerrero. Easy ass search and you’ll learn about where homie is from. His mom in do knows video said “both parents are 100 percent Mexican from la costa de Guerrero”. I’m from that part of Mexico and there’s a lot of Afro Mexicans it’s normal
Aren’t they like 1% of the population in Mexico ?
Mexican Americans are mostly descendant from Northern and Central Mexico. Mexico has very little Afro influence overall but part of the reason you don’t see more Afro Mexicans in the US is because there aren’t as many people who immigrate from Southern Mexico.
I live in N ,Ca and just about everyone is from Michoacan...some from Sinaloa,Jalisco but very few from Zacatecas or other N ,State from Mexico...And definitely very few from Nuevo Leon where I'm from Monterrey to be specific... I say from Central and S. Of Mexico.

If you have African Features and you live South of the US Border, you're Part African, due to Black, African Slavery that was started by the Portuguese and Spanish. Most Black African Slaves were brought to the Countries south of our Borders...

People need to understand that being Mexican is a nationality not a race. We have white Mexican brown Mexicans, black Mexicans, Asian Mexicans. The reason Mexico might have more brown people is because we didn’t get rid of them like the US did.
Americans in general love to stereotype.
I’m looking at Syxx thinking he the guest.. cause Mexican homie look like Smac lol
Lol youre high asf
On god 😂
My exact thoughts
In Acapulco i got homies who are also full black they migrated to México way long ago Saludos ala raza 🤟
This X4 cousin 😂
I’m Mexican people always think I’m Puerto Rican or Dominican and black dudes always be like what’s good brother till I speak Spanish
Confusion at its finest
You just don't understand how things work
Why people act like black is a race. It’s a social structure. Mexican is a nationality not a race. There’s no way he doesn’t have African ancestry in his blood
Black specifically means Black Americans. That's our own identity and ethnic group, So having African ancestry doesn't make you Black🤦🏽♂️
You got to know the difference between nationalities and ethnicity, well at least the comment section does. He's a Black man, period. Language doesn't change genes.
Mexico is a Country, not a Race. There's only one Race when talking about Humans. That's the Human Race. All members of the Human Race can have intercourse and produce fertal offspring. This makes us all one Race or one Species. That means we are all related. We all have a common Ancestor.
The majority of those who claim to be Mexican are truly converted Native-Americans who were forced into following Catholicism.
Also, during US Slavery, many US Slaves escaped to Mexico when Mexico ended Slavery in Mexico.
And, don't forget about the Seminole Native-Americans who were composed of a lot of escaped Black, African Slaves and Native Born Native-Americans. They moved to Mexico from Florida, also...
So, possibly, Mexico should have a larger population of African Descendants than the US.
Oaxaca in Mexico has the largest population of Afro Mexicans. They are a combination of the slaves brought over during the Transatlantic Slave Trade and runaway slaves during and after the Civil War.
They be looking like, wtf? 😂😂😂😂
Trell his people from africa too they just got dropped of in Mexico instead of the u.s which makes him Mexicans no such thing as being 100% mexican
Umm his people are mixed wit indigenous and Spaniard bro u think Africans stayed in Mexico and didn't mix? He's just as indigenous as he is African or Spaniard that's what makes Hispanics wat they are no matter ur color
@@jup37see how crazy y'all sound .... 😂 So everybody tht came this way blended in ? Man even if , this wouldnt even be a convo ....
Exactly!
@@jup37 yes they mixed just how we do in America yet their is still people who are predominantly African, meaning not everyone has to mix
@@trenchmedia1380 then that means it not hispanic
Here’s black has Mexican blood in him over 200 thousand slaves went through Mexico during the slave trade he’s from Guerrero Mexico where you can find the largest group of Afro mexicanos
San Lorenzo del Almagro is a statue of gaspar yanga who is black
Newsflash, a person can be FULL American despite looking black too. Ethnicity and nationality aren't one in the same.
Mayans and Aztecs looks like him on the walls
We wuz Mayan kangzz
Fkn trippin homie.. you guys be taking this shiet too far
Naa
@DEATHXWISH924 You was Spaniard like Columbus lol
@@robertpitts8161 Columbus was a African kang
Self hate is the worst and he actually don't know what he looks like
Nothing new but majority of people dosen't know black folks been in Mexico since 1800's especially in guerrero, mexico where my fam bam is from and im pretty dark and im proud of it puro Tierra Caliente!!
Yes definitely!! But blacks get offended and will say we’re “trying” to be black. I have cousins his skin color. And I can get very close to his skin color as well. But I’m hardly out in the sun. My brother is close to his skin tone also, but with a little more hint of red to him. But his legs are white af lol. Since they don’t get sun.
He’s denying his African lineage saying he’s NOT Black
No you don’t understand the term “black” has been used to refer to Afro-Americans which he isn’t. His ancestry is Afro-Mexican. Different culture and history. People outside America are rooted in their own culture and history so American terms don’t mean anything to them or register. It’s a very American thing to apply your own terms to others.

Black = African Descent
End of story
Black doesn't = African.
In the states when someone says they are black, 9 times out of 10 they are asking if you are African American. Our country is so ignorant. He doesn't want to be mistaken for a group he is not because he is Afro Mexican, which is a total different culture. Although he still can relate to some of the struggles us AA face being in this country
Us Mexicans just consider ourselves Mexicans
Black is a race. Mexican is a nationality. Whats so hard to understand?
Somebody call maury we got another one
That’s cool, I just have to listen to his voice and vibe there is no question, I would know he is Mexican.
He sound Mexican though
Maybe cause he is wtf
We gotta learn the difference between nationality and ethnicity. He’s a Mexican national, yes he’s a Mexican, but he’s of African ethnicity. He’s an Afro Latino. Plain and simple.
Ummmmmm. If that’s the case then a white person in Jamaica is Jamaican by nationality too
Ummmm yes! He’s just a white Jamaican sir! If he’s born in Jamaica he’s Jamaican. Don’t think too hard buddy
