#BlackPresident #Yanga #Guerrero #MexicoHistory
Our time in Mexico has shown us the beauty of the people and the wide range of ethnic backgrounds that call Mexico home. Recently, we’ve gotten the opportunity to dig deeper into the history of the indigenous groups and their relationship with African descendants in Mexico. That led us to learn more about Vicente Guerrero the first and only Black and Indigenous President of Mexico and Gaspar Yanga, the African revolutionary - two very different people who have afro and indigenous connections.

My mother is European desendant, you know, white skin blue eyes, from Michoacan state, but my dad is from Cortijo Oaxaca and is black as he can be... I'm so proud of this mix, that makes me African Mexican somehow... As for Vicente Guerrero; He is the one who ended the war and thanks to him Mexico is Mexico.... PERIOD!
Yes!!! Your family sounds so interesting....best of both worlds. Thanks for letting us know The Truth about Guerrero....some people are a little confused lol
I love how much exposure you’re giving this topic to the world. People in the US need to know that Mexico has African history and it’s very much under appreciated.
Facts. Legendary, unknown by many and very much under appreciated. Thanks for watching!
That is not true they just see him as a Mexican not as black🧐
Unwrap that and you'll see the problem. What is the difference if there is no difference. @@westernnative897
Nosotros siempre lo tenemos encuenta porque es nuestra gente.
(We always keep it in mind because is our people.)
La razón que muchas gente no conose de la Historia es porque los pasados gobernantes que nuestro gran país tuvo trato de borrarlos de la Historia.
(The reason a lot of people don't know the history is because our past governor's of our great country they try to erase them from history)
We grow up in México with our people, color doesn't matter or make a difference. Is only when you believe that money makes you better than anyone.
Saludos.
Agreed ❤
Vicente's Guerrero quote remains me of what Emiliano Zapata said during Mexican revolution. He said " I rather died on my feet, than living on my knees" "Prefiero morir de pie, que vivir de rodillas", Thank you for teaching me history about my county that i should already know and shouldn't forget.
Just passing along what we find while we are here thanks for coming along w/ us!
Black folks wake up. Both mexico & dominicaN RepubliC had black presidents in 1800s no other country Haiti had dictators emperors Jamaica run by whites. Only. Dominican Mexican peoples elected a black as president. USA did in in 2000s half black guy Obama
After watching this video, you can go read this paper "Vicente Guerrero: insurgente, militar y presidente afromexicano" by María Dolores Ballesteros Páez. It's fully in spanish but translating tools won't change the essential information.
It basically describes how Vicente Guerrero and his family were treated by his political oppositors because of their Black Ancestry and features. And how and why his visual representation had to be whitened after his death.
I already know it was rough. Looking fwd to the read.
😂😂😂😂better learn from a Mexican not from your government's brainwashing
Is spanish a dialect? Correct me if I am wrong but I think it is not. In minute 5:01 Rondel said ..."in their own dialect" he should said language instead of dialect.
There are many different dialects of Spanish. Colombia, Ecuador, Spain, Caribbean, Cuba.....many different dialects and I can watch shows selected from different regions that emphasize a particular dialect.@@rafaelgrajales8251
@@TheYarbrosmmm no, no, no. You are wrong. Based on what you stated then English is a dialect too. There are many dialects variants of English different to what they speak in Great Britain for instance USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Belize, etc, etc.
Yarbros, if you notice, most statues are of Europeans. You would think that the indigenous and Africans did nothing. Unfortunately, most Mexicans don't have a problem with that.
The interesting thing is that African Americans are finding freedom in Mexico once again.
Great video!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
They are removing a, lot of statues. You must not be paying attention
Watching this made me tear up more than once...your passionate enthusiasm and the depth of your teachings....this history is so intense and I never knew it.
My favorite video yet! Thank you for showcasing how diverse my country is. Also, I appreciate you both educating your viewers about how Mexico was way more advanced in resolving slavery than the US. Our second president was representing our indigenous and black heritage way before Obama was a topic of conversation. Great job on the amazing content! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Thank you and thanks for watching. I think MX shouldn't be compared to the US. It's great on its own...my opinion.
I liked their videos. However, see they have ulterior motives based on their comments on the videos and replies on the comment section!
American ideology is dangerous! I hope more mexicans realize this people's objectives and stay united! We are not like them! Mexico is not a country that needs saving from the United States!
lol right save Mexico from the Yarbro's. When you see conspiracy in love. These people aren't the problem. @@vital4644_
Actually, there were 7 Black Presidents in the USA, before Pres. Obama..Google Black USA Presidents.
When I was a girl, I really hated my curly black hair, because the kids from the elementary school tend to make fun of me, for reference, I was the only girl in my classroom with thick curly hair.
When my grandmom died, a relative told me about the existence of an African ancestor. As a Mexican, I didn’t know about this important 3rd root until my grandmom died, and it makes sense, because my grandmom had a dark skin and thick curly hair.
Through the years, I have been learning how to take care of my hair, and feel proud about how I look.
I'm sure it's beautiful. Anything that's diff ppl want to attack....it's usually rooted in jealousy and invy. Glad you appreciate you! 🤗😁
Hi ! Greetings from Colima! What region/estado are you from?
Do you know if there is any association, colective, group of activists or academics working to educate about the African and Afro-mexican history of your region/town/city, and create spaces to share experiences, organize for the rights of the local Afro community/families/persons, fight racism, etc.?
These groups, colectives, associations created by mexicans of African descent or mixed African heritage are growing and connecting all regions in Mexico. What's happening there where you live/ come from?
@@africoa2366 Currently we are in Leon trying to connect to a group but we're unable to tap-in as if yet. We would love to connect with any Mexican afro-centric group in any state if you have connections let us know and we will represent their interests to a larger collective. Our email : contact@theyarbros.com
@@africoa2366
Soy de Guanajuato, no recuerdo muy bien si la UNAM estaba trabajando más a fondo en investigaciones sobre el tema relacionado con afromexicanidad. La verdad no estoy empapada acerca de este tema, pero no me cabe duda que es algo que se debería difundir más. Saludos!!!!
@@africoa2366are you familiar with some of the groups in México coming together to advocate, educate & connect communities?
My paternal family is of Indigenous-African heritage, they’re from small towns in Michoacán but I haven’t been to visit Mexico in decades & I didn’t get to grow up well-connected to them due to not having a present father.
Muchas gracias por la educación que nos brinda, linda pareja, felicidades por su programa, bendiciones para ustedes de parte de un mexicano 🇲🇽.
Gracias!
I am a black mexican, was born in Acapulco but grew up in Cuajinicuilapa (my mom still lives there).
Unfortunately, schools in Mexico don’t really teach anything about black history, they only teach about Spanish “heroes “ and about how we have to look at Spain as “the motherland” which caused me conflicts while in school because I completely totally refused to see Spain as the motherland. Instead, I always expressed my love for Africa because that’s where we really are from.
Black history has been almost erased from mexican history. They don’t even acknowledge that mexican independence heroes such as Gaspar Yanga, Vicente Guerrero and José Maria Morelos y Pavon were black. Even Guerreros’ nick name was “El Negro”, because it is said he was very tall , robust and very dark complexion.
Now living in the US and having black friends from other Latin American countries I’ve realized that black history it was also erased from the history books in their countries.
School history is inaccurate bs! You have to find the information somewhere else.
Great video! Love to all my melanated brothers and sisters in the diaspora! It’s time to return to the motherland! And I don’t mean this necessarily in a physical way, but mentally. Lets emancipate ourselves from this system that isn’t ours and return to your black roots.
Brothah, everything you mentioned in your comment is the reason we wanted to do this video. I so appreciate you commenting because a lot of people have been trying to tell us the information is wrong. One person tried lol to tell us that Gasper Yanga was a European lol. De Nile is not just a river in Africa. Thanks again for stopping by!
TRUE, IT WAS SPAIN THAT DID THAT TO THE SCHOOLS.. THEY DONT REALLY TEACH ANY INDIGENOUS HISTORY ...NOW WE ARE ALL MEXICANS...WE CANT START SAYING TO MUCH OF WHAT WE ARE .. WILL WILL BE LIKE THE USA ... WE ARE MEXICANS... MEANING .. WE ARE INDIGENOUS "Mexico is home to 68 Indigenous Peoples' ,japanese , chinese , AFRICAN, SPANIARDS, PERTY MUCH THE WORLD NOW!!!! THATS WHY WE MEXICANS COULD GO ANYWHERE AND SAY I AM MEXICAN AND BE PROUD...
🌀I’m Mexican. I even refused to see Spain as the motherland. I used to watch this tv show ( Siempre en Domingo ) and they would mention this . I was 12 and I knew that felt wrong along with almost 100% of the brown audience looking on. Spain being the motherland is so false . It made me feel at 12 that they saw me as ugly . I didn’t feel it but just thinking that’s how I’m seen felt wrong. I never forget that. I did not know they taught that in schools. Wow !! That’s so wrong!
They did teach me about African slaves brought by Spain to Mexico, in Durango Mexico . Maybe you didn't have good teachers. A good teacher does their profession because they want to spread knowledge. Those for a pay check won't teach this
Yanga was from Africa, but died Mexican I feel so proud of him. More needs to be known about this hero. A true liberator.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
If he was from Africa, then he was not Mexican, because in Mexico there are no blacks, learn
Love what we're learning about 1st and 3rd roots of Mexico. Thank you for watching!

La leyenda negra de España es un complot anglosajón mientras en USA esclavizaron a los negros en México o la nueva España todos convivíamos bien se abolió la esclavitud y nuca fuimos colonia éramos parte del imperio Hispano, Los reyes Españoles tomaron a los nativos como sus ciudadanos con los mismos derechos, desarrollaron América tenían escuelas, universidades etc etc mientras en USA Vivian en el tercer mundo.
La independencia no fue nada mas que la destrucción de los ideales Hispanos de libertad, igualdad entre los pueblos, fuimos el primer globalismo y creamos la primera internacional.
se que visitaron mi estado que es veracruz , aunque no se si visitaron el pueblo de ´´ yanga´´ en honor al rebelde libertador , primer pueblo libre de esclavitud de toda america , ademas les recomendaria visitar el pueblo conocido como el ´´ coyol´´ con grandes raices afrodescendientes y que año con año se celebra con una gran fiesta , saludos desde xalapa, veracruz .
@@moisesventura7049 Por eso en Veracruz esta Catemaco por que las creencias barbaricas de la gente de áfrica con la de los pueblos indígenas se mesclaron por eso matan animales para sacrificios rituales.
Thank you for doing the work - to inform the rest of us!! Extremely interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you!
Love you guys! I used to run tours to Puerto Rico to similar parts so bl ppl can learn about the African roots that lie their. Thank you for showing Mexico. ❤
Thanks for tuning in!
They were israelites 🙏🏾 the 12 tribes were scattered all over the world and on the islands. The scripture explains in Isaiah 11:11 That God is gonna gather his people again from the islands and the 4 corners of the earth.......Psalms Chapter 83 explains on how the other nations came against the 12 tribes and made them to lose their true culture identity, etc so that the name of ISRAEL Shall be no more......This awakening is real, They changed the image of Christ as the Bible explains he had dark skin and white hair like Wool! The Russians and putin himself goes to a church where all the original Dark paintings are till this day.
Love that you are sharing the history and culture with us. Keep it coming 😀
Thank you! Will do!
I'm Mexican and my wife is Ethiopian, Mexico es tu casa amigos hermanos. Disfruten de Mexico. Saludos ,Bendiciones .
Blessings to you & yours. Thank you!
Gracias por informarnos sobre nuestro pasado ,casi no nos enseñan . Pero quiero que sepan que aquí en México amamos a los negros y muchos de nosotros traemos esa sangre , mi esposa es morena pero su bisabuela era negra. Son nuestros chocolatitos, con cariño.
Thanks for sharing.
❤ 🥲🥹😭
Si, los Mexicanos que son Negros si, pero estos son de otro mundo, no son como los Mexicanos. Estos son de EEU, y les gusta separar paisano contra paisano por color de el piel. Una cosa que se almira de México,es la unidad de los Mexicanos de mucha gente diferente. Mucho cuidado, con los de EEU.

Outstanding video. Love how your eyes light up when talking about the history and traditions of Mexico. It’s true when they say knowledge will set you free.
It sure is true! It's also true that we appreciate you spending some time w/ us!
Great information that I didn't know. Keep teaching us about the world. Love it.

Thank you for the information. Keep it up!🙌
Thank you!
This might enter into the "negative category" from your POV, but there´s something you need to give it a thought and that for some reason you´ve been unable to appreciate it, maybe because of the language barrier. Anyway, just like people from any other parts of the world, most Mexicans are not aware of the rich history of our country, which is a shame, because basically every single Mexican is proud of being a Mexican, and if they knew more about our history, that sentiment would be even stronger. Something that I find interesting about our culture is how the Mexican society "evolved" differently from our neighbors from the North, and fortunately, we don´t really care about ethnicity. Do we have a colonial hangover?... sure, but we do know Mexicans are under a very wide spectrum of skin color and features that we don´t even bother to put on labels like "African- Mexican", "White-Mexican", "Chinese-Mexican", "Arab-Mexican" and all that kind of bull$#¡+ Americans care about. Besides all of our problems, there´s one thing that unite us and keep our bonds strong, and that´s Mexico. It´s not Africa, nor Europe, nor Asia nor any of those countries/territories we share historical ties with, not even the ancient Aztec Capital Tenochtitlán. The point I want to make is that "Black history" in Mexico is not under appreciated or whatsoever, is just unknown for many like any other historical fact. It´s not that "someone" is hiding us the truth, it´s just that people don´t care enough about history. I´m from Veracruz, so as you may already know, here at the south the "so-called black history" is far from being unfamiliar. We see it everyday in our families, friends and communities. It´s part of our Mexican and Mestizo heritage. And we´re mestizos because long time ago we decided to become one. That´s why is basically impossible to find "ethnic-specific communities" between our cities and towns. Though, in the most recent history, guess who is creating this kind of communities... foreigners!, but that´s off topic. I know this may be controversial due to our cultural backgrounds, but I´m just trying to give some actual, real and first hand context. Hope you keep enjoying Mexico. Peace.
Thanks for expressing yourself. I appreciate the narrative. We've had the opportunity to spend time in some Afro-Mexican communities here and while they are 100% Mexican and they love their country they have given voice to unique some problems that they gave here in Mexico. The same problems they face are being confronted by the African diaspora throughout Latin America....it all boils down to marginalization. This is why I use this platform to give voice to their concerns. I am passing along what was said to me by locals....and also informing our public of some cool slices of Afro history that isn't in their history books.
You have spent some time, I have spent my whole life. That history runs in my family´s blood.
Also, that history is in fact in our books and very well documented and even celebrated.
And if by voicing their corcerns you mean the people from your video in Cuaji, then you should know that some of the statements there, were completely misleading due to the language barrier you guys have with the people you approach.
I really appreaciate your enthusiasm and I encourage you to continue exploring and learning, but in this chapter of your journey, you´re overlooking a lot and even biasing the things you try to expose. Hope you take all this into consideration as I´m not trying to criticize your job, I´m just trying to give some honest feedback on a subject I feel connected with. @@TheYarbros
@@luizqudaibergen6200 I don't believe I am overlooking any mass amount of info..and yes we interviewed many other residents of the town (in the pipeline) and they are absolutely being marginalized and discriminated against.. .and it's that simple. They are waking up to these facts. Regarding this vid Yanga handed Spain their behind and so did Guerrero. Nothing complex to miss. The facts speak for themselves.
I grew up listening the story of Yanga and the revolutionaries decendants of that generation of slaves who happen to be part of my family tree, and they´ve been celebrated long long ago. Those stories are very well documented and known for many, and the fact that a lot of other Mexicans (and foreigners of course) are clueless about it, doesn´t mean someone has been hidding it from us. And Vicente Guerrero wasn´t black, he was a mestizo. So saying that he was the first "Black president" or that he´s "one of the biggest characters in black history", is completely missleading. You´re taking away from him and our history his indigenous roots, the same way you did it with the people in your Cuaji´s video. So yes, you´re not only overlooking a lot, but also being biased. You believe you´re not, but you actually are bro. Trust me. You can´t see Mexican culture or history through the same lent you see yours in the US. @@TheYarbros
You can feel how you like to feel I have seen nothing to attest that this man was not Black. The Mestizo tag attempts to erase blackness just as you are attempting to do now. To assume that people don't know because there has been an attempt to teach it is naive. Afro -Mexicans had to fight tooth and nail to even be counted in Mexico bro. I take nothing away from this Black- Indigenous Hero. @@luizqudaibergen6200
Muy bonito video como siempre!
Thank you!
I like watching your videos , I grew up in Northern Mexico, ( Mexicali B.C. ) and I remember 2 black girls that now I remember and went ro school. by watching your videos I still remember their names after 40 yrs ,
Good video !. I don't remember to had this kind of history lessons when I was student. Keep doing it !
Thanks!
Loved!
Thanks!
I've known about the caste system that exists from north to south throughout this hemisphere...a complete series of vids in and of itself...so glad ur guys addressed it in this very artful way..I loved it!

I didn't either. Why I love traveling!

Helooo!!👋👋 guys.. Love your videos.. and this great idea of asking Mexican people about their culture or how much they know about president and just in general thinks about Mexico🇲🇽🇲🇽
I think that’s awesome!!!
Love from Atlanta.
Thank you and sh/o to Atl!
I’m black and Mexican from the USA and my family has always known, discussed and embraced black mexicanos…..it’s sad others don’t know the history ….however I’m glad videos like this exist, before the internet I’d tell black Americans about stuff like this and the culture, museums statues etc and they’d say I was a liar 🙄🙄🙄
Yo family.. thank you so much for history knowledge.. ❤️ 💗 God bless your hearts. Keep smiling 😃 n keep doing this wonderful work.
Thanks and we will keep on pushing as long as tall are watching!
You guys have to go to Yanga Veracruz to get to now the history of the town and the prince Gaspar Yanga, it is about 30 minutes from Córdoba Veracruz, the town used to be called "San Lorenzo de los negros" the people is nice and kind, you wont regret
Thanks for the suggestion!

I loved this episode, as a proud Mexican you brought out even more of that in me. I was sad to see the our history is not being taught in school. That quote from President Guerrero adorns the halls of Palacio Nacional in Mexico city, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Really glad that it touched home with you. Have a wonderful day!
Muchisimas gracias por esta historia que fue tan escondido de la gente negra de 🇲🇽 Mexico.
I can proudly say my friends and I used to played at El negro yanga when we were kids and I can also say that I went to the same school located right behind the negro yanga statue we also saw a lot of people coming from all over the world to the yanga statue just to take pictures !...
Before yanga it used to be called villa de San Lorenzo named after the priest who stablish to the area!..
You guys brought memories back when I was a kid😢 I miss those days when we used to play baseball with my friends at El negro yanga !.....
Glad we could take you down memory lane. Thanks for sharing!

Vicente Guerrero desde la primaria nos enseñan Mèxico tiene raíces multicultural desde antes de Colón a habido navegantes de China Africa y Europa muchos emigraron al sur de Mèxico esperando libertad nativos de americanos y africanos se establecieron en Coahuila miren las cabezas olmecas de Tabasco miren las figuras de nuestros antepasados con rasgos asiáticos y africanos y nuestro perfil nativo. Y Yanga Veracruz por lleva el nombre del que lucho por su libertad saludos desde Carolina del Norte
Vicente Guerrero is very well known in Mexico. His popularity is why so many Mexicans (myself included) have Guerrero as a last name.
It's a shame that we don't get taught that at school. And yes, Yanga and Guerrero were black as well as tona la negra, a very famous singer from Veracruz.
Yes, it seems that schools have agendas.
Depends on the teachers you have. I learned about Yanga as kid in a Durango elementary school, but my teacher was a walking book, he knew a lot.
Thanks!
Right back at you! 😄
Thank you for another amazing adventures vid...much love!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
My pleasure
what afrocentric, padrones.
I feel a lot of passion for History specially mexican.I would've loved you as my teachers back in my school years.
Wow, we're honored! Thank you!
Love the history. Thank you for shedding light into this subject. Many don;t know that the majority of the West Africans went to Central and South America via the slave trade. I always wondered what happened to them? You have inspired my wife and I to start traveling and exploring our history. I may hit you up for advice. Thanks Again for all you do.
All good! Thanks for watching and safe travels!
I am part of the beautiful mixture of the 3 roots. I grew up listening to the music my grandparents and great grandparents listened too called "sones" from the region of tierra caliente ( hotlands ) of Michoacan & the birthplace of where the independence of Mexico was made & signed (Apatzingan) anyways alot of our music from the regions speaks & celebrates the beauty of the dark skin women 🎉❤🎉
Vicente Gerrero’s most famous fhrase . La Patria Es Primero. That phrase is in the Mexican congress and senate in gold.
Beautiful historic recount. I have heard of Yanga
Glad you enjoyed it
Ese de amarillo sabe mucho de historia genial
I learned stuff about my country that they didn't ecen teach me in mexican school. Thabk you
Great video my friends❤ thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico 🇲🇽✌️🥰
Thanks so much!
Vicente Guerrero fue un mulato the secong president of new republic of México , AND the state of guerrero was name in his honor .in his memory.
Tu si sabes de historia amigo felicidades
Mulato was the mix of white and black people.
Vicente Guerrero was mixed indigenous and black. They were called jarochos or zambos.
Vicente Guerrero fue un héroe y Presidente .

I’m watching La Isla Del Tesoro on Lingopie. Interesting that you didn’t mention their group classes.
It was in there but we cut it out and didn't want to reshoot. It will be in next months! It's my (Rondel's) language app of choice!
La Patria es Primero. Vicente Guerrero. Un Gigante. 🇲🇽👏🏾🤝
Thanks for stopping by!
Vicente Guerrero on wikipedia. He was not blk
However, no portraits of him were made during his lifetime and those made posthumously may not be reliable. Fellow insurgent José María Morelos described him as a "young man with bronzed or tanned skin ("broncineo" in Spanish), tall and strong (N.B. "forbid", strapping, muscular), aquiline nose, bright and light-colored eyes and big sideburns".
Some people.... Spanish folk have been trying to stir this into the mixture for ages but it is okay. Roman soldiers said Jesus's body was taken by his followers. He was a black indigenous mix man that was raised in Guerrero. I don't know what historians have stated otherwise but if it makes you feel good you can call him whatever you like.
@@TheYarbros are you talking about Jesus?
@@TheYarbros his nose gives what race he is. Africans don't have pointy noses
Ohh, okay thanks for clearing that up.@@user-yg8qo1od4j
Amen to everything that you said!! Black and Brown bond is strong in Latin America and I hope through education, the people of all Latin countries can see that we are stronger together against the forces that once opresed us and continue to try to opres us to this day!
Only through unity will power be realized. Love what the indigenous in Peru and and Panama are doing by uniting. Thanks for watching!
Buenas suerte con tus sueños!
Black and brown together like brothers!!!
Love it!
I 💗 Afro Mexicans 🇲🇽 I hope one day I can visit them
We do too!!! Thanks for watching!
I live near Mandinga in veracruz where a similar uprise happened. It is actually called like that because of the Mandingos

Vicente Guerrero was very important viva Mexico viva Vicente Guerrero cabrones
Mexico is a multicultural country and no matter the skin color the majority are proud to be Mexican
Es curiosa la forma en que los mexicanos vemos a nuestro propio país, decimos "viva la raza" aún que no nos referimos a ninguna "raza" en especifico, para nosotros "la raza" es cualquier persona que haya nacido en el territorio y viva nuestra cultura, aún que su color sea blanco, moreno, negro o amarillo por que aquí en México todos tenemos cierto grado de mestizaje y compartimos un poco de cada raza (aun que algunos paisanos Ignorantes no lo quieran aceptar)
Yes, this is the way the Spanish empire was trying to build New Spain. They instilled that thinking throughout their territories.
claro que no mayate
Great video. Morelos was another Afromexican founding father. Not until recently this has been recognized. Paintings of Guerrero and Morelos made them look more "European". I had my DNA analysis done and it turned out I am 1 or 2 percent black from Senegal. A niece of mine got similar results as well as her husband's. Later on I found out the Mexican gemone was completed (done by the government or UNAM, I am not quite sure) It showed that central Mexicans share African roots dating back from slaves brought to the colony in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Interestingly, Northern Mexicans do not share that trait. The thing is that millions and millions of Mexicans have African roots and they just do not know it.
Soy mexicano y ya sabia todo eso yo! Siempre me ha fascinado la historia. Mi bisabuela era mulata y desde que me dijo que era mitad negra me di la tarea de averiguar la historia de los negros en Mexico! Mi bisabuela y yo éramos súper unidos, era yo su favorito! You didn’t talk about Yanga and that in Mexico (Veracruz) was founded the first free slave town in all of the Americas in 1609
We talked about Yang toward the end of the video!
Grasias a Vicente Guerrero que nunca sedio porvencido Mexico conquiisto su independecia Viva Vicente Guerrero Viva Mexico cabrones
Viva Mexico 🇲🇽
I knew this history since i was a little girl. Proudly Native of Guerrero... i don't understand how grown Native people of Mexico do not know our history...
What's funnier is the people saying that it isn't true. On person wanted 5o argue about Yanga not being African and now people are saying that Vincent's Guerrero wasn't black at all. This seems to be the way here. Try to trivialize truth. It's too late though the awakening has started.
@@TheYarbrosawakening has started ?
@@TheYarbroslol the people who don’t know about Vicente Guerrero in mexico wouldn’t know about other historical topics. He is VERY popular in Mexico among the patriotic.
