      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

    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.

      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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
