That is a lie. All Mexicans do not know him, because I have spoken to many Mexicans and they told me they don’t know who he is I never knew that he liberated the colonial power from Spain.
@@Gen3ralGrimReaper The guy you disagreed with is right, real Mexicans know him, Chicanos don't since they weren't taught that at their American schools, hell the Chicanos you talk too won't even know who Miguel Hidalgo or Ignacio Allende were but Mexicans here in Mexico, we do know and honor them.
@@Gen3ralGrimReaper good afternoon brother I think you spoke The Mexicans that don’t like or don’t care about History, next time you should talk to Mexicanos patriots & people like me who love History, specially the History about the One of the best presidents & leaders on the battles against enemies defending his homeland. His last name means Warrior = Guerrero.
I was born and raised in Mexico City and we did learn about him and his African ancestry. He is one of our national heroes, he's always been considered that way. I think it's just the U.S. education system that is failing American students which doesn't surprise me at all.
Normandy F learned most of this in my Mexico History class in my local community college lol. Y’all ain’t looking hard enough to learn about history. Check out your local community colleges
Please see if you can encourage him to share it. We might learn something. Remember, WE must be our children's teachers and the keepers of our TRUE history and community stories; just as the griots were. Peace, Health, Faith.
Its always love right here .. When i was a kid my mom invited my block to come in to wash up & eat lunch or dinner .. Didnt realize until time went by that i was fellowshipping with Black Kids .. Couple white kids... More time went by & they just became what i still call my family til this very day .. So because of my mom .. I will always love my Black brothers & sisters & white brothers & sisters that got love for us
@LeDAVID Mercier what does that mean? "even with the European blood too"? because if you watched the video Guerro had european blood. And as Guerro, if your ancestry comes from the modern Americas, you are also highly likely to have some European blood...
Gaspar Yanga was another black african warrior in mexico who fought off the spanish and was victorious. Have you ever done a video on him? What he was able to do to the spanish was a sight to behold.
Hi I'm from Colombia and I love your videos. There's a colombian president in the XIX century named Juan José Nieto Gil that was almost completely remove from National history just because he was black, he was president during the first half of 1861 and he was forced to leave the charge by the army. I just think that's a good story for you to tell.
There was a Cou de ta in the United States also before the Christian European Bankruptcy Reconstruction of 1861-1878. The truth about the United States and how it was founded is an abysmal lie.
Did a presentation on this great leader when i was middle school in the early 2000s. My classmate's assumed he was a made up person and story. Great to see the truth came back around. 👑💪
Texas was Mexico territory at the time he abolished slavery in Mexico. So the battles fought by Mexicans against the people in texas was to enforce Mexican law in Mexican territory. The Texans were fighting to maintain slavery as it was extremely profitable for the Texans to hold slaves. Davey Crocket was fighting to keep black people working for free............ He is an American Hero????
yeah but the Texans were using loopholes to keep the practice alive (the most infamous one was calling their slaves "indentured laborers for life") which is why Guerrero ratified the abolition in 1829
Thats why Mexico did that cause SLavers were trying to get slicc with the laws over there in Texas, Mexico declared any SLAVE that fled into Mexico was now a Mexican Citizen ! USA did not liek this shyt @@carloscarlin114
Benito Juarez, the zapotec, became the greatest traitor to Mexico. How ironic! Hernando Cortez created Mexico, while Benito Juarez, mason traitor, was desperate to give all Mexico to the U.S.
@@l.a.waterfrontog8253 Benito Juarez was the worst traitor in Mexico's history. No, he was no patriot, he was a Yorkist mason anxious to deliver Mexico to the U.S.. Note: MacLane-Ocampo treaty, el Brindis del Desierto, the ungrateful execution on the heroic Batallon de San Patricio.
When I was in school during history class, I did my presentation on African warriors...most of my peers stared at me in shock because did my presentation using visuals, quotes and handouts. I scored a fat A as none of them knew nothing about them...
Jose Maria Morelos is also considered one of the fathers of Mexico and he was also black. A priest when he joined the independence movement, later a general.
He was not black ! He was considered a Spaniard under the social structure of the time and was registered as such . He was in fact a descendant of Herman Cortez .
When the spanish viceroy sent Guerrero’s father to negotiate his surrender, He said: Compañeros, este viejo es mi padre. Ha venido a ofrecerme el indulto en nombre de los españoles. Siempre he respetado a mi padre, pero... ¡LA PATRIA ES PRIMERO!”. Translation: comrades, this old man is my father. He has come here to offer me a pardon on behalf of the spaniards. I have always respected my father, however...”The motherland comes first”
For a country with such a small black and afrodescended population, Mexico has played a really big role in black history in the Americas and was progressive as hell on racial issues compared to other countries in the continent. Mexico had a law that said that any slave that crossed over from the US into Mexico was automatically a Mexican citizen and free person and it was considered kidnapping for white plantation owners to go into the country and try to recapture them, which of course led to a lot of black slaves from Texas fleeing to Mexico and is why Juneteenth is celebrated in communities in northeastern Mexico near Texas.
That's a BIG.LIE, mexico school teaches everything.of our history even of afro mexicans, this doc is trying to make it sound like mexican people were biase.like the white americans
@@Jbeeze82 Stop trying to turn Mexicans into black racists. You trying to get darker Mexicans to turn them to demand reparations as the blacks in America?
@@Jbeeze82dont be pathetic vicente was a dark mexican and leave at that. Now if vicente was born in alabama name d clarence jackson and moved to mexico changing his name to vicente to become a president of mexico then yes you can call him black president of mexico?

Thank you for this. While my parents did teach me a lot of Mexican history, they NEVER taught me this. I love learning this. Makes me want to know more
@Fact Check Why do people always talk about the moors ruling spain.. The moors did not control spain. North africa and spain were BOTH under control of the islamic caliphates from the middle east. Also different civilizations will always have certain things they are good at and certain they aren't. The moors were talented in medicine but europeans were better in architecture and metallurgy. Europeans castles were the best fortified structures in the world and their knights were unrivaled on the battlefield.
phillinrifle if your gonna just make some shit up you should at least make it hard to prove wrong. Literally 20 seconds on google and you will find out the first castles were definitely not in africa lmao. You literally just pulled that out of your ass. Regardless, who tf cares who made the first castle? The chinese invented the firearm and still by the 1700s their guns were primitive compared to western european ones. Creating something is just a part of the equation. Improving and perfecting it is the other.
You have to know that slaves were trade to the whole american continent, and at least in sudamerica, many died in the independece wars and in the civil wars that followed, because they offer the black slaves freedom in exchange of fighting on one side or the other for at least 5 year to earn their freedom, the majority died before. I am afro-peruvian and Lima had roughtly a lil less than a third of black people population between the years 1805 and 1825, then it began to go down to almost disapear in the many wars that follow on that century

As a Native Mexican! la mixteca! I been studying and analyzing society. Afro Americans are have a victim mindset. Mexicans should be aware of American ideology, afrom Americans use emotions to emphasize their ideas. I have lived and had many conversations with afro Americans and also Mexican black people. Afro Americans discard other race, while black Mexicans acknowledge other skin colors. Afro Americans will hate you if you dont think like them. I see that more afro American come to mexico claiming they discover a afro town. As a Mexican, i know of many skin tones. If you are born in mexico, you are Mexican. As Native i have suffered discrimination everywhere, but i do dislike the Afro AMERICANo mindset! Be careful on their word! In the United States they have clearly divided their society so much, the unity is not there at all. Mexico is currently developing fast in its economy and its good, but it will bring foreign ideology and it will effect Mexican society! You can see foreigners come and displaced local people. Be mindful of foreigners. Black Mexicans? Im Native! I don't claim be Native! Im Mexican and have pride and grateful to be Mexican. We have problems, but as Mexicans we can fix it ourselves! Not have a foreigner teacher teach us about out society or set a new victim mindset! We are Mexican! No matter what skin color!
I'm Half Mexican, and it took me years to learn about Vicente Guerrero, and a lot of people have forgotten about him, which is sad; he was one of the nation's greatest heroes.
@@NihilismGuy So you can't be, say, Half German and half Czech? Or half Egyptian, half Yemeni? I'm not referring to ethnicity, I'm referring to heritage and background. Mexico is a national culture and there's many subcultures within it- all the different indios, mestizo, criollo, etc. All you need to be part something is a parent of that place. It's not that complicated.
Bro all Mexicans know about our afro ancestry and Vicente Guerrero or glorious liberator we learn the whole history in Elementary school in Mexico one thing about Mexican education system they drill that in your head our beautiful history and sacrifices those Mexicans we are proud of our liberators and revolutionaries
Thank you for highlighting one of my favorite Mexican heroes! Love Vicente Guerrero! One point of clarification...the Mexican Constitution of 1824 abolished slavery amd unfree labor in all Mexican states and territories. Guerrero's Emancipation Proclamation of 1829 was directed to Anglos in the Texas territory of MEXICO who were ignoring the law of the land, illegally bringing their slaves into Mexico, and keeping them enslaved. Texas was a territory of Mexico however whites from the U.S. outnumbered Mexicans 30000 to 7000 in 1829. Guerrero passed the 1829 Proclamation to reassert Mexican authority and reassert the social plans he was pushing throughout Mexico. And to remind the Anglos that they were IN MEXICO. I love the picture of that AfroIndigeno Mexican President laying down the law on some lawbreaking illegal white immigrants from the United States.
Y por tal razón decidieron separarse de México, querían los Anglos seguir con esas prácticas esclavistas, aunque les cuenten a los Estadounidenses historias a su favor.
THIS IS AAAAAWESOME!!!! I live in Mexico City 9 years and Vicente Guerrero is very very celebrated. I never knew he was afro Latino. Thank you so much for this video I will post it on my Facebook and tell everyone😁💖 oh, by the way I'm after watching at too. My father is black and my mother is Mexican.
I’m Mexican who’s light skin because my mom. My dad is dark. It makes me proud that we Mexicans have African blood in us. It’s something to be proud of. It symbolizes the struggle and strength to overcome.
@@tativanii3245 Representation based by color is a US racist concept 😂 it's why Latin America is culturally turning it's back on the US. As they should, and any other countries that know what a woman is.
Mexico is une of histories true democracies. From having presidents from all walks of life . Benito Juárez was indigenous , Guerrero was Afro descendant others first generation immigrants from European parents. But in Mexican history books all of them are called Mexicanos. Not perfect Democracy but close enough.
super democratic: two empires, and several dictatorships (Santa Ana, Juarez, Díaz) different presidents with 5 terms each and 70 years with a single party in power.
@@tacoespacial9443 you know your history. But you will have a hard time showing a better democracy specially one that has lasted this long. ( taco especial “. Muy buen nombre 👍🏻)
@@gushernandez25lmao stop lying that’s not true at all lmao god you people don’t know what you are talking about and why would American and other countries care about Mexico for this literally isn’t important read a book
There are lots of Schools, Towns, Streets, and Boulevards named after him in all of Mexico even a state is named after him the State of Guerrero, of course Vicente Guerrero our great mexican national hero!
As always thank you for enlightening me regarding black Mexicans, how ironic it is when we look back at our history as black people of colour we have always had a rich and turbulence pass but one thing we will always stand out for our beauty and strength demination to stand tall as a nation of people in this wicked times that we are living in
I recently found out that Latinas are only nice to us just so they won't be called racist they've gone as far as going out with a couple of Black Folk but that's about it.
to anyone reading this. WE mexicans, the one that live, you know, in MEXICO. now about this man, he gets mentioned every time schools teach about the independence. his name is yelled every year by our president on independence day. So if someone says , oh i dont know who he is, thats not a mexican, thast a chicano that went to USA schools
Great video. Unfortunately, there is an established pattern of how "Blacks" are treated throughout the history of the Americas. When we reach for any kind of equality in the established racial hierarchy, reactionary forces in society violently suppress us. Have you done a historical video on Gaspar Yanga, another influential Afro-Mexican?
True. Being Afro Mexican from Cuajinicuilapa and living in East LA is so frustrating at times. I’m often asked if I’m Cuban or from the Dominican Republic and even when I tell people I’m Mexican they with say oh you’re half raza, half black and I’m like no I’m from Mexico! I’m afro Mexican! Some either don’t know what that is or they still try to tell me I’m just a darker indigenous person. It’s crazy how so many people of Mexican Heritage only know certain Mexican history because our history is hidden within the Mexican community and people just try call us dark indigenous people.. That stuff pisses me off because they’re trying distance our African heritage from Mexico so they rather just call us that.
It brings a tear to my eye that the struggles of us and our Latin brothers go much deeper than the block. So this explain the love I receive from many Latinos over the border
I've been waiting for this video for a minute! -- Another fact is the colorism of Latin American nations caused many to make their leaders in the likeness of the Spaniards in dress and complexion. Vicente was far closer to the last picture shown with kinky hair and dark skin. Also, in terms of classification based on ethnic and racial backgrounds in Mexico the Indigenous person was classified lower than the African because of their persistent threat against the state and desire to fight for their land.
@Ross JP Bro are you blind?The last picture has him with Native straight hair like his father, we know he basically looked like how is depicted based on what his comrade Morelos describe of him Morelos described him as "A young man with bronzed (N.B. "broncínea", lit. bronze-colored, swarthy), tall and strong (N.B. "fornido", strapping, muscular), aquiline nose, bright and light-colored eyes and big sideburns." José María Morelos y Pavón, 1811. He was part of the African diaspora sure but not all people of African ancestry have kinky or curly hair.
can we appreciate how much effort this guy goes through to make black history known, even though its hard to find black history this guys still comes through👏
I enjoy and learn from your work. I share them with others. Myself being of Afro-Rican descent and since childhood instilled with this pride by my Parents, we applaud you. As of yet my financial situation hinders contribution to your channel. The first governor recorded of P.R. El Pirata Cofresi among others is a subject I would like to see you cover. The reason I want you to cover it is because your research is in depth and concise and of a dignified manner. You can also highlight other greats. Keep up the good fight. Thank you for doing, what I know you love doing.😁 I can tell you love producing as much as we love consuming the food of thought you put out...Thanks again...The Home Team loves it.....
And this is why I have a video a thumbs down..you start off by your opinion which is inaccurate. The people from Mexico who he is and how important he is. Don't start off with a negative about something very positive
No he started correctly, I, who pride myself on this type of history was unaware. Black people give culture and freedom to all but they return their gratitude.
@@jolabo6374 And yes, we know that our national heroes were Meztisos and Afromeztisos, because basically, they were not born slaves, Spain considered them something like the lower middle class, they had the right to education but not to other things, that Spaniards born in Spain had. That is why everything was born with them because they had the possibilities and they knew the suffering.
I was born in the USA of Mexican parents and I was raised in Puebla Mexico. Vicente Guerrero is in fact one of the Padres de la patria along with José Maria Morelos both Afromexicanos. I hope more people know more about this historical facts of the Mexican nation. Recently there’s been a recognition about the Afromexican roots in Mexico and in part thanks to our President AMLO who’s one of the most knowledgeable men in the history of our country. “The history of Mexico couldn’t have been written without Gerrero” AMLO.
Have been to several small 80,000 or less population towns in Mexico, I always see a street named after Vicente Guerrero. When I drive to the Border town Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas the main street that one enters/exits by crossing the border is called Avenida Vicente Guerrero. Now I know who these streets were named after.
Ask a mexican did they grow up reading the comic book of " Memin Pinguin". Wikipedia will show you images and history of this stereotyping character from back in the day.
Memin Pinguín is a loved character, and the relationship among Memin and his mother is the portrait of link among mother and son, both black, both deeply loved by Mexican society, being black in México wasnt a "thing" untill the contamination of the racist vision of "the y and us" came from the other side of the border.
@@emmaliz9054 Don't have time to have a "victim mentality" . Citizens of Mexico should be concerned about not getting shot from the cross fire of the cartels gang members.
Used to vacation in Alcapulco for a few years with a large group from Chicago and Ohio (400+), mostly black and a few Mexican-American. Very in-expensive, with great accomodations in those days. We went on tours where the tour leaders proudly told us about the "African 3rd" of the population, it's history and the pockets of dominant African blood in those parts. This was long ago and I've forgotten much, but people were proud of this president, whom the state is named after, and also a large landowner from there who was also of African heritage. They were very proud of it, at least telling us all about it. One of the ladies in the group dated a Afro-Mex guy from there who was a Jai alai sports star. We used to check him out at some of his games. The black population seemed mostly poor though.
Of course we do. And I meant economically, not culturally. My point was there was a disconnect, a distance, which of course accounted for our not being able to fully engage & communicte with each other. For all the claims made by the tour leaders of the large landowner being from there, we weren't able to connect with a group to form a lasting realtionship. But the "problem" may have been the fact that overall they see themselves as Mexican with no real need to connect further with a group from the far north, another counrty, whom they mostly have nothing else in common with, in many was an obstruction...
The Mexican states of the southwest (Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas) are consistently the 3 poorest states in the whole country. Folks from the more isolated areas of these states can come off as distant or aloof because they have often been neglected or mistreated by outsiders. I mainly speak from my family's experiences with people from indigenous villages in Oaxaca, but I would imagine it would be similar for Afro-Mexicans as well. Mexicans are generally a very colorblind people, which is not always good for people of African or indigenous ancestry.
@I HATE TOUCANS I would imagine that it helps that they live on the coast, where they can catch fish to eat, and where the tropical climate helps with food and such. But I do remember seeing the municipality of Cuajincuilapa in Guerrero (well-known for its Afro-Mexican population) ranks among the poorest of a very poor and very indigenous stste.
Thank you so very much for this video! Very interesting!! Such little known information about such a great man who dedicated his life for his country even when his service wasn't fully appreciated!! Kudos to his memory!!!💕💯
I know huh greatpeople like Vicente Guerrero, Abraham Lincoln, John F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm exc.. And the corrupt like Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bush, Trump our taxpayers protects the bad people...
I think there’s enough content in the history of this man to make a great movie about him. We need to teach our children about our culture before it’s forgotten. Thank you for sharing.
My Tex-Mexican here, my grands always shared this with us. It was a source of pride that a country that has always been looked down on was more enlightened than the US. It’s true that real history isn’t taught here, we were lied to when we were taught about why the battle at the Alamo was fought.
Vicente Guerrero they called him the, "George Washington and The Abraham Lincoln of Mexico" a he was the first President of Mexico and he freed the slaves... Great man!
FINALLY!!!!! I very much appreciate what your doing. Especially these hard times... Thank you for this video . Any interest at making videos of afro leaders from central and south America? Be well, peace and love. Great job!!
Instead of people criticising about not knowing this history properly, because I never did either. Let’s celebrate content like this to enlighten generations to come. It’s fascinating.
This is my first time learning about Vincente Guerro so I'm ready to learn Afro-Latino history & I embrace African, Black History in 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸, Afro-Caribbean & Afro-Latino
Because of racism If you read about Mexico 🇲🇽 history you will see blacks slaves were brought to the State of Veracruz 1500’s from there they spread to other states you’ll be Surprised how many Mexicans carry the African blood ..
He earned the name black panter from the indigenous Indians because of his resemblance of how he fought, resembling the prophecy of the natives. In Mayan mythology, the jaguar was seen as one of the rulers of the “Xibalbá” (the Underworld) and as such, a symbol of the night sun and darkness. There were Mayan priests called Balam who officiated at only the most important ceremonies. Along with the Aztecs and Mayans, the Inca also built temples dedicated to the jaguar. For them, the jaguar was representative of power, ferocity, and valor; it was the embodiment of aggressiveness. It represented the power to face one’s fears, to confront one’s enemies. However, they are also associated with vision, the ability to see during the night and to look into the dark parts of the human heart. Vicente Guerrero and his people had no guns, about 60 people lead by him could conquer $300 soldiers in the darkness of night barehanded. He made the imposible posible. The real black panther, the real hero.
People make no mistake, Guerrero was no small actor, he literally carried the entire Revolution during the second and final half of the war of independence. Original leaders killed or captured, people giving up. It was Guerrero that carried it through the end until Spain was defeated.
Thank you for this. My family and I traveled a lot to Mexico and saw the black people but did not know the history. I love knowing how we have fought for and in so many countires. We are truly a strong race with values
When I tried to bring up this information and other information in my history class at Austin High School in El Paso Texas, the teacher told me to shut up. The chickens are coming home to roost. I’m Mexican American and am interested in true history, not the history of the conquerors who sugar coat their story.
@Bobby Collins 1. Here's what I mean. 2. Washington's view on slavery( which I don't respect) wasn't the issue. His leading his country to independence was. Guerrero did this for Mexico. 3. Lincoln didn't free the slaves ( no matter what the cult says) but he did eventually pass laws and was commander in chief of the entity that eventually passed the 13th Amendment( though of course he was by then dead). 4. Whether or not he deserves it, Lincoln definitely is credited as the great emancipator. 5. Guerrero freed the slaves and his country and was also assassinated. This is was I meant.
1. Juarez is considered a liberator for a SECOND time. 2. Guerrero was the first and if you are going to complain about strawmans like "Afrocentric lies" at least know what the term means. 3. As for heroes, Mexico like any country is entitled to more than one. 4. As for support for Ethiopia, both Russia and Japan provided material support for the Battle of Adowa so I doubt Mexico has "provided more help to Africans". 5. What Mexico has done is suppressed awareness of it's African component: my response is to just such a suppression.
As a very young girl, My grandfather told me stories about being a valet for a General Guerrero. My grandfather grew up knowing a lot about horses so was taken by the revolutionaries as a young boy to take care of the general’s horse and take care of the general’s uniform. Not being a history buff, could this be the very same general in this story. I’m getting goosebumps at the thought of having such a connection to history.
@Tony Scott my response is to juan lopez comment! He says first black president of the 'american' continent, which is different from the main comment that says 'north anerican'. Pay a bit more attention!
Millions of white, mestizo, native Mexicans died to liberate mexico, it was not one black man, shit you still cant liberate yourself today from US and you exoect me to believe a black did it 200 years ago in Mexico Lol
All Mexicans Know him, we even shout *Viva Guerrero* every year during Independence Day. He's a national hero.

@@l.a.waterfrontog8253 no he wasnt he was just another masonic puppet
Benito Juarez, the zapotec, became the greatest traitor to Mexico. How ironic! Hernando Cortez created Mexico, while Benito Juarez, mason traitor, was desperate to give all Mexico to the U.S.
@@l.a.waterfrontog8253 Benito Juarez was the worst traitor in Mexico's history. No, he was no patriot, he was a Yorkist mason anxious to deliver Mexico to the U.S.. Note: MacLane-Ocampo treaty, el Brindis del Desierto, the ungrateful execution on the heroic Batallon de San Patricio.

Jose Maria Morelos is also considered one of the fathers of Mexico and he was also black. A priest when he joined the independence movement, later a general.
He was not black ! He was considered a Spaniard under the social structure of the time and was registered as such . He was in fact a descendant of Herman Cortez .
@@pensatoreseneca Do you know why he always covered his hair?? To hide his Afro curly hair. In those days black leaders were whitewashed.
isaacsenglish did u read what I wrote?? He was not black . Covering the head with a bandana was common use in those times
@@pensatoresenecaSpanish is a nationality not a race. Morelos was so black it was hard to whitewash him. There were many free blacks in New Spain.
@@pensatoreseneca it is a well known fact he covered his hair to hide his curlyness. Read about him and embrace our African descendence.

This is real Queen i live in Mexico now i. From America
When the spanish viceroy sent Guerrero’s father to negotiate his surrender, He said: Compañeros, este viejo es mi padre. Ha venido a ofrecerme el indulto en nombre de los españoles. Siempre he respetado a mi padre, pero... ¡LA PATRIA ES PRIMERO!”. Translation: comrades, this old man is my father. He has come here to offer me a pardon on behalf of the spaniards. I have always respected my father, however...”The motherland comes first”
A huevo!
For a country with such a small black and afrodescended population, Mexico has played a really big role in black history in the Americas and was progressive as hell on racial issues compared to other countries in the continent.
Mexico had a law that said that any slave that crossed over from the US into Mexico was automatically a Mexican citizen and free person and it was considered kidnapping for white plantation owners to go into the country and try to recapture them, which of course led to a lot of black slaves from Texas fleeing to Mexico and is why Juneteenth is celebrated in communities in northeastern Mexico near Texas.
You need to get it right!! Mexico's 2nd president was black and native!! Black people was on this land 1st!
That's a BIG.LIE, mexico school teaches everything.of our history even of afro mexicans, this doc is trying to make it sound like mexican people were biase.like the white americans

@Fact Check Why do people always talk about the moors ruling spain.. The moors did not control spain. North africa and spain were BOTH under control of the islamic caliphates from the middle east. Also different civilizations will always have certain things they are good at and certain they aren't. The moors were talented in medicine but europeans were better in architecture and metallurgy. Europeans castles were the best fortified structures in the world and their knights were unrivaled on the battlefield.
they never taught u this because the latino culture is racist . they deny evrything african
phillinrifle if your gonna just make some shit up you should at least make it hard to prove wrong. Literally 20 seconds on google and you will find out the first castles were definitely not in africa lmao. You literally just pulled that out of your ass. Regardless, who tf cares who made the first castle? The chinese invented the firearm and still by the 1700s their guns were primitive compared to western european ones. Creating something is just a part of the equation. Improving and perfecting it is the other.
I first learned about Afro-Mexicans from the documentary “the black grandma in the closet”
@majin.,,And the only Mexican governor of California, Pio Pico, is said to have a mother listed as "una mulata."
Me too
They all have one. Negrito granny
You have to know that slaves were trade to the whole american continent, and at least in sudamerica, many died in the independece wars and in the civil wars that followed, because they offer the black slaves freedom in exchange of fighting on one side or the other for at least 5 year to earn their freedom, the majority died before. I am afro-peruvian and Lima had roughtly a lil less than a third of black people population between the years 1805 and 1825, then it began to go down to almost disapear in the many wars that follow on that century
This doesn't matter. Black women still hate us. They think we Black Men are losers. Because we failed them.
I'm Mexican and we love our AFRICAN history. We always knew we have AFRICAN blood.

As a Native Mexican! la mixteca! I been studying and analyzing society. Afro Americans are have a victim mindset. Mexicans should be aware of American ideology, afrom Americans use emotions to emphasize their ideas. I have lived and had many conversations with afro Americans and also Mexican black people. Afro Americans discard other race, while black Mexicans acknowledge other skin colors. Afro Americans will hate you if you dont think like them. I see that more afro American come to mexico claiming they discover a afro town. As a Mexican, i know of many skin tones. If you are born in mexico, you are Mexican. As Native i have suffered discrimination everywhere, but i do dislike the Afro AMERICANo mindset! Be careful on their word! In the United States they have clearly divided their society so much, the unity is not there at all. Mexico is currently developing fast in its economy and its good, but it will bring foreign ideology and it will effect Mexican society! You can see foreigners come and displaced local people. Be mindful of foreigners. Black Mexicans? Im Native! I don't claim be Native! Im Mexican and have pride and grateful to be Mexican. We have problems, but as Mexicans we can fix it ourselves! Not have a foreigner teacher teach us about out society or set a new victim mindset! We are Mexican! No matter what skin color!
I'm Half Mexican, and it took me years to learn about Vicente Guerrero, and a lot of people have forgotten about him, which is sad; he was one of the nation's greatest heroes.
Facts
If you are half mexican, were you born between the border since mexican isn’t a ethnicity
@@NihilismGuy So you can't be, say, Half German and half Czech? Or half Egyptian, half Yemeni? I'm not referring to ethnicity, I'm referring to heritage and background. Mexico is a national culture and there's many subcultures within it- all the different indios, mestizo, criollo, etc. All you need to be part something is a parent of that place. It's not that complicated.

Thank you for highlighting one of my favorite Mexican heroes! Love Vicente Guerrero!
One point of clarification...the Mexican Constitution of 1824 abolished slavery amd unfree labor in all Mexican states and territories.
Guerrero's Emancipation Proclamation of 1829 was directed to Anglos in the Texas territory of MEXICO who were ignoring the law of the land, illegally bringing their slaves into Mexico, and keeping them enslaved. Texas was a territory of Mexico however whites from the U.S. outnumbered Mexicans 30000 to 7000 in 1829. Guerrero passed the 1829 Proclamation to reassert Mexican authority and reassert the social plans he was pushing throughout Mexico. And to remind the Anglos that they were IN MEXICO.
I love the picture of that AfroIndigeno Mexican President laying down the law on some lawbreaking illegal white immigrants from the United States.
Yesss
"illegals" omfg💀
It’s funny how they explain how DARK he was but we can’t find any pictures or paintings of him in his TRUE form😢
Y por tal razón decidieron separarse de México, querían los Anglos seguir con esas prácticas esclavistas, aunque les cuenten a los Estadounidenses historias a su favor.
I never been more proud to be of Mexican descent. My kids are going to know about Vicente Guerrero and what he did for our people.

Great video. Unfortunately, there is an established pattern of how "Blacks" are treated throughout the history of the Americas. When we reach for any kind of equality in the established racial hierarchy, reactionary forces in society violently suppress us. Have you done a historical video on Gaspar Yanga, another influential Afro-Mexican?
True. Being Afro Mexican from Cuajinicuilapa and living in East LA is so frustrating at times. I’m often asked if I’m Cuban or from the Dominican Republic and even when I tell people I’m Mexican they with say oh you’re half raza, half black and I’m like no I’m from Mexico! I’m afro Mexican! Some either don’t know what that is or they still try to tell me I’m just a darker indigenous person. It’s crazy how so many people of Mexican Heritage only know certain Mexican history because our history is hidden within the Mexican community and people just try call us dark indigenous people.. That stuff pisses me off because they’re trying distance our African heritage from Mexico so they rather just call us that.

I've been waiting for this video for a minute! --
Another fact is the colorism of Latin American nations caused many to make their leaders in the likeness of the Spaniards in dress and complexion. Vicente was far closer to the last picture shown with kinky hair and dark skin. Also, in terms of classification based on ethnic and racial backgrounds in Mexico the Indigenous person was classified lower than the African because of their persistent threat against the state and desire to fight for their land.
@Ross JP Bro are you blind?The last picture has him with Native straight hair like his father, we know he basically looked like how is depicted based on what his comrade Morelos describe of him Morelos described him as "A young man with bronzed (N.B. "broncínea", lit. bronze-colored, swarthy), tall and strong (N.B. "fornido", strapping, muscular), aquiline nose, bright and light-colored eyes and big sideburns."
José María Morelos y Pavón, 1811.
He was part of the African diaspora sure but not all people of African ancestry have kinky or curly hair.
The Afro-Mexican has always been on the lowest end of Mexican social, racial, political, and economic hierarchy.
can we appreciate how much effort this guy goes through to make black history known, even though its hard to find black history this guys still comes through👏

No he started correctly, I, who pride myself on this type of history was unaware. Black people give culture and freedom to all but they return their gratitude.
A lot of Mexicans in the comment section admitted they knew who he was but they didn't know he was of African/indigenous descent.
Yeah he had a state named after him as well as Streets but most people don't know he was black and Indigenous.
@@jolabo6374 And yes, we know that our national heroes were Meztisos and Afromeztisos, because basically, they were not born slaves, Spain considered them something like the lower middle class, they had the right to education but not to other things, that Spaniards born in Spain had. That is why everything was born with them because they had the possibilities and they knew the suffering.
In Mexican history he's a well known figure.
Yes they named a state after him as well
I was born in the USA of Mexican parents and I was raised in Puebla Mexico. Vicente Guerrero is in fact one of the Padres de la patria along with José Maria Morelos both Afromexicanos. I hope more people know more about this historical facts of the Mexican nation. Recently there’s been a recognition about the Afromexican roots in Mexico and in part thanks to our President AMLO who’s one of the most knowledgeable men in the history of our country. “The history of Mexico couldn’t have been written without Gerrero” AMLO.
Have been to several small 80,000 or less population towns in Mexico, I always see a street named after Vicente Guerrero. When I drive to the Border town Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas the main street that one enters/exits by crossing the border is called Avenida Vicente Guerrero. Now I know who these streets were named after.
Matamoros city called matamoros because African people are living there, called por Indians moros like purple people.
Ask a mexican did they grow up reading the comic book of " Memin Pinguin". Wikipedia will show you images and history of this stereotyping character from back in the day.
Mexican kids Loved memin pinguin like US kids loved speedy Gonzalez.
Memin Pinguín is a loved character, and the relationship among Memin and his mother is the portrait of link among mother and son, both black, both deeply loved by Mexican society, being black in México wasnt a "thing" untill the contamination of the racist vision of "the y and us" came from the other side of the border.

Used to vacation in Alcapulco for a few years with a large group from Chicago and Ohio (400+), mostly black and a few Mexican-American. Very in-expensive, with great accomodations in those days. We went on tours where the tour leaders proudly told us about the "African 3rd" of the population, it's history and the pockets of dominant African blood in those parts. This was long ago and I've forgotten much, but people were proud of this president, whom the state is named after, and also a large landowner from there who was also of African heritage. They were very proud of it, at least telling us all about it. One of the ladies in the group dated a Afro-Mex guy from there who was a Jai alai sports star. We used to check him out at some of his games. The black population seemed mostly poor though.
But we still love them regardless from atlanta
Of course we do. And I meant economically, not culturally. My point was there was a disconnect, a distance, which of course accounted for our not being able to fully engage & communicte with each other. For all the claims made by the tour leaders of the large landowner being from there, we weren't able to connect with a group to form a lasting realtionship. But the "problem" may have been the fact that overall they see themselves as Mexican with no real need to connect further with a group from the far north, another counrty, whom they mostly have nothing else in common with, in many was an obstruction...
The Mexican states of the southwest (Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas) are consistently the 3 poorest states in the whole country. Folks from the more isolated areas of these states can come off as distant or aloof because they have often been neglected or mistreated by outsiders. I mainly speak from my family's experiences with people from indigenous villages in Oaxaca, but I would imagine it would be similar for Afro-Mexicans as well.
Mexicans are generally a very colorblind people, which is not always good for people of African or indigenous ancestry.
@I HATE TOUCANS I would imagine that it helps that they live on the coast, where they can catch fish to eat, and where the tropical climate helps with food and such.
But I do remember seeing the municipality of Cuajincuilapa in Guerrero (well-known for its Afro-Mexican population) ranks among the poorest of a very poor and very indigenous stste.

He earned the name black panter from the indigenous Indians because of his resemblance of how he fought, resembling the prophecy of the natives.
In Mayan mythology, the jaguar was seen as one of the rulers of the “Xibalbá” (the Underworld) and as such, a symbol of the night sun and darkness. There were Mayan priests called Balam who officiated at only the most important ceremonies. Along with the Aztecs and Mayans, the Inca also built temples dedicated to the jaguar.
For them, the jaguar was representative of power, ferocity, and valor; it was the embodiment of aggressiveness. It represented the power to face one’s fears, to
confront one’s enemies. However, they are also associated with vision, the ability to see during the night and to look into the dark parts of the human heart.
Vicente Guerrero and his people had no guns, about 60 people lead by him could conquer $300 soldiers in the darkness of night barehanded. He made the imposible posible. The real black panther, the real hero.

People make no mistake, Guerrero was no small actor, he literally carried the entire Revolution during the second and final half of the war of independence. Original leaders killed or captured, people giving up. It was Guerrero that carried it through the end until Spain was defeated.
Along with Agustin de Iturbide and Ignacio Allende.

That needs to be a visit.
@Bobby Collins yes I do
@Bobby Collins
1. Here's what I mean.
2. Washington's view on slavery( which I don't respect) wasn't the issue. His leading his country to independence was. Guerrero did this for Mexico.
3. Lincoln didn't free the slaves ( no matter what the cult says) but he did eventually pass laws and was commander in chief of the entity that eventually passed the 13th Amendment( though of course he was by then dead).
4. Whether or not he deserves it, Lincoln definitely is credited as the great emancipator.
5. Guerrero freed the slaves and his country and was also assassinated.
This is was I meant.
1. Juarez is considered a liberator for a SECOND time.
2. Guerrero was the first and if you are going to complain about strawmans like "Afrocentric lies" at least know what the term means.
3. As for heroes, Mexico like any country is entitled to more than one.
4. As for support for Ethiopia, both Russia and Japan provided material support for the Battle of Adowa so I doubt Mexico has "provided more help to Africans".
5. What Mexico has done is suppressed awareness of it's African component: my response is to just such a suppression.
Thank you for this 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
As a very young girl, My grandfather told me stories about being a valet for a General Guerrero. My grandfather grew up knowing a lot about horses so was taken by the revolutionaries as a young boy to take care of the general’s horse and take care of the general’s uniform. Not being a history buff, could this be the very same general in this story. I’m getting goosebumps at the thought of having such a connection to history.
Brilliant more please.
Thanks for the video that blacks have made so many contributions throughout the entire world good many of us to know what our ancestors have.
I would love to see a film about this brother's life.
Before Obama there was Vicente Guerrero :)
Yes ,Vicente Guerrero, first black president of the American continent.
@@juanlopez9017 No he was not. Jean Jacques Dessalines of Haiti was the first!
@Tony Scott my response is to juan lopez comment! He says first black president of the 'american' continent, which is different from the main comment that says 'north anerican'. Pay a bit more attention!
Millions of white, mestizo, native Mexicans died to liberate mexico, it was not one black man, shit you still cant liberate yourself today from US and you exoect me to believe a black did it 200 years ago in Mexico Lol
