Im not black, but im mexican and thanks for expose afromexicans, they deserve more attention.

A lot of us Louisiana Creoles Immigrated to the State of Vera Cruz during the Civil War

It's nice to see the wealth of information explained by well documented videos such as this one. I met a couple from Mexico many years ago living in the USA. And the man's wife clearly appeared to have an afro. She simply stated that she was of Native American descent within Mexico and had no African heritage within her. I now understand how difficult it continues to be for some individuals admit any African heritage from places like Mexico and similar countries because of how rampant racism truly is not only in the USA, Canada and other places throughout the Americas. I've noticed that a lot of people living in the USA originally from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central & South America have the convenience of changing their race simply by the culture they're from. I'm not saying it may be all that right, but I can't say that they're all wrong too. This is what racism truly does, it messes with the psyche of a lot of people and makes certain people hate a few things about their ancestry.

Girl I emailed you about this very topic! I just went to Oaxaca and Guererro and going to veracruz to meet with a afromexicano chef in Feb 2023!!

Juan Correa is another important character in Mexican art history: “The prestigious Mexican painter Juan Correa (1646-1716) (...) He was the grandson of Juan Correa, from Villa de Albacete and Juana María, born in Cádiz, who emigrated to New Spain. His father, the well-known surgeon Juan Correa, and his mother, Pascuala de Santoyo, were born there, a free black woman who, before marrying the doctor, had four illegitimate children as a slave, by a gentleman from Santiago named Alonso de Santoyo. When he died, he left her a considerable fortune that served to buy the freedom of the family. But the painter's ethnicity, which was recorded in several documents in which he is called "pardo", that is, mulatto, did not keep him from a brilliant career. Among his great contributions stands out the incorporation of little angels from New Spain, that is, dark or "broken in color", as it was said, with which he wanted to plastically and publicly express the spiritual equality of the human condition, becoming a characteristic hallmark of his work.” He was probably the first painter in the entire continent, to incorporate angels with darker skin in religious paintings. It may not sound like much, but for the time it was very revolutionary. His painting "El niño Jesús con ángeles músicos" shows a mulatto angel. My Mexican art teacher told us that the restorers, over time, have been lightening the skin of the little mulatto angel. Saludos desde México!

The West Indies Slave trade also included the Filipino, oceanic islands, Australia.. and brought them to Mexico and Central and North America who were melanated people.. that’s why Filipinos have there conquistadors Spaniard last names .

I would love to see a full length video on black history of Colombia! Thank you so much for the work you do please don’t stop!

Excellent. Look forward in buying the book shortly.

Thanks for being brief, concise and yet cover important issues

My grandma was born in Guerro Mexico, and as a kid we all said she looked black and not Mexican. This explains why.

Fayida, this was gold! To start, I'm loving the new graphics in your intro! ☺️ Funny, but since I live in the greater Los Angeles area, I often wondered why some Mexicans and Mexican-lineage Americans often appear to be part of the African diaspora. That question is what motivated me to study African history in Mexico. From there, I've been studying African influence in every continent.This is how I became acquainted with your channel! 💡 Anyway, many Mexican-Americans do not know the African hx in Mexico, other than a very limited story about Afro-Cubans migrating to Costa Chica. As with most African hx, the truth is often heavily denied or minimized. Everything you have shared here rings true with my own research on the subject. Thank you for this gem! 💎 By the way, congratulations on your book! 👏🏼🏆🥇I will definitely be purchasing one soon. 😘

Thanks for the informative and inspiring video.

Thank you for your video and if indeed my town of Coyolillo was founded by brown people who fled from slavery in Coyolillo, this is a mountain called Cerro del Congo. Greetings from Veracruz Mexico

They did very little for Mexican culture and thats a fact

They're a such a small minority so ofc they're not gonna be presented much in media and politics

Enslaved this enslaved that, have you Anglos ever thought to stop and read the reason as to how we became Mexicans in the first place? It’s because we the people of Africanos indigenous mestizos and criollo people of Mexico were liberated as Mexicans and not slaves and servants of the Spanish viceroyalty all Mexicans were essentially considered and treated with basic rights to own their own land and have their own things after independence in 1821 from Spain 🇪🇸
