Mexico Unexplained I was wondering have you ever read Horace Butler's "When the Rocks Cry Out"?
La Raza Cosmica was originally a book which did address that there was diversity beyond just native and spanish blood in Mexico.
Africans have been in Mexico for thousands of years...facts!!!
BiGGBLUNT1 ok buddy.
Do you have some videos about Afrojews also Afroeuropeans ?.
Thanks in advance

For those who say that Lupita Nyong'o isn't a Mexican, she was not only born in Mexico City, she was named after the Mexican apparition of the Virgin Mary called Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. She speaks Spanish and has a Mexican passport. What more do you people want? She is an asset to Mexico. So, she's black. Be happy for her accomplishments, be proud of what she has done. Besides she is absolutely beautiful. She makes me smile. What a marvelous woman she is!
Clipperton Islander.....her parents are both from Kenya and the work in the embassy in Mexico. I don’t understand how she is Mexican, if neither of her parents are? She even did documentary of her garden and picking fresh vegetables for cooking purpose in Kenya.
Life Is Good! I think it's cause "Mexican" is a nationality and she was born in that nation? (shrug) 😐 idk
Lupita is African and Kenyan
Life Is Good! Mexican is not a race... it’s just a nationality, just like being American.
@@alexcorralgarcia Mexican is not a nationality idiot. The word mexican existed in the 1500s. The Spanish friars in the Codexes clearly mention the Aztec people as the MEXICA and a plural form they referred to them as MEXICANOS. It was the US in the 1910s that began to relabel the Mexica as the Aztecs but Aztec is a terminology simialr to.
Mexicans are part of the Nahautl Ethnic group; south Mexicans are Mayan ethnic group ultimately they are both native American.
In Tijuana Mexico there is a huge community of blacks from Haiti that are now part of the city and even have there own neighborhoods. The one's I have met are very hard working people.
@someguy Make Tijuana Great Again!
@someguy As someone who lives in Tijuana I can tell you that nothing you say is true, the city has problems with corruption, which means that the government does not do its job taking care of public areas, there is no garbage collection system in many places And not to mention the streets. The Ahitians have proven to be very hardworking, more than 5,000 arrived and as soon as they arrived they quickly adapted, many of them study, have married and already own a house (which is easy to do with the benefits of infonavit and insurance in Mexico )
Soon we are gonna have big black Mexicans too
carlos corpus idiot
That’s false there is 1 percent of Afro Mexicans in Mexico
I just took a 23andme test and it said I was 6.3% Sub Suharan African which was a lot higher than I expected so its cool to see the African side of my Mexican mixture.
6% is the average all across Mexico, so you are right in there. Thanks for stopping by.
The Moors were not Sub-Saharan African.
Who thinks that Sub Saharan African comes from Mexico? I guess I must have missed that.
Actually originally the term Moore was to denote a black person only after the retaking of the city of Cordoba in Spain did you see the term Moore gradually change to mean Muslim. .www.taneter.org/moors.html
This link should explain it better than i can.
Samuel Sanchez .you are subsaharan because if the Spaniards being mix with them .
Hey PBS Black in Latin America gives a very detailed look at Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, etc. It's also what needs to be taught in schools.
It seems like only in the US they don't know this. Which is just common information everywhere else.
They, the government, dont want you to know any of this. They fear a revolution as we latinos, hispanics, africans and native americans are the same ppl being oppressed 100als of years ago. Many of us a related in a way. Research the trade routes of slaveships when they brought the so call black ppl over. They landed throught the entire americas.
@@yatazaqshaman1715 blacks have no relation to natives what so ever
@Jose Stevenson yeah the fact that theres blacks in latin america is not the problem only when they try and say that blacks are the original people to the americas or when they say blacks and natives heavily mixed which they didnt natives mostly mixed with whites blacks also mixed with whites it was never natives and blacks that heavily mixed
Yes. People who live in other areas in Mexico are they aware of Afro Mexicans. I remember looking at Mexican News to see beautiful Afro Mexicans. I wanted to learn more about them but I would think Mexican people would want to teach me.
I’ve read Lupita was born in Mexico City because her parents and her father came to Mexico to teach. Her parents are from Kenya. She’s African but Mexican by birth!
Martha
Does that make her any less Mexican than anyone else?
She's 100% Mexican in my eyes. She was named after the Virgin of Guadalupe and was born in Mexico City!
To be Mexican you have to have indigneious blood. The word Mexican existed in the 1500s. The Sanghuin Codex never reference the Aztecs as Aztecs they were always refered to as Mexicas or Mexicanos. Its the US that renamed our people to the Aztecs , but Mexican heritage can't be bought it has to be Jus sanguinis.
Your correct. According to Alonzo Aguirre Beltran in the book "La Poblacion Negra De Mexico all of you have African blood. Know your History. It wasn't because of slavery either.
@@robroux6074 Blacks were in Mexico before slavery they were hamites who taught Aztecs the same knowledge that was in Egypt hints why there is pyramids in Mexico.
I just took my 23 and me test and I’m 18.9% sub-Saharan African. My great grandmother on my dads side was of African decent. We are from the state of Veracruz and I’m very proud of my African blood!
🥰Beautiful.... I did ancestry dna....I learned alot too
We mexicans, are brown indians,
Decendants of the true American
Indians, which came from siberia,
And Asia. And, our ancestors were
Here in America, for thousands of
Years, before the spanish arrive.
With five blacks.
I like your posts. They are like poetry.
Si, pero es inegable el meztisaje que ahora vemos, herencia de las orgullosas gentes de iberia y de africa
I lived in the north of Mexico for 10 years and I never saw a black Mexican.
@ they are there.
TheSololobo, there are over 1.3 million black Mexicans in mexico. Some don't look black any more but there is a whole city of them. They will be listed in 2020 census.
IN. GUERRERO. & OAXACA. COSTA. CHICA...THEY. ARE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE..
Foo didn’t you hear him say everyone is on average 4 percent African.Everyone is mixed now
The only black community that I know of in northern Mexico is located in the state of Coahuila they called themselves the Negros Masogos in the municipality of musquis, they are descendants of John horse
Yup, it's true. There are not many "black people" in México because almost all of them mixed with native americans and europeans. That is also why You can't really find native people with their original lineage, even if they seemed to be isolated.
True.
Afro US citizen thinks that is because we killed them, according to them there isn't possible we embraced them as part of who we are.
That’s not true in Mexico many native tribes are still around with their languages and customs intact.
I did a MyHeritage DNA ethnic analysis, and as white (güero) as I look, I was 9.3% African genetically. 6% Norther African (region of the Moors) and 3.3% Nigerian. I was born in Chihuahua. Goes to show, your phenotype and place of birth, doesn’t fully explain your genotype. I’m also 53% Mexican, 12% Iberian, 10% Scandinavian, 3.3% Italian, 8% Ashkenazi Jew, and 0.8% Eskimo. Do your DNA analysis people and end the racism!!
Sometimes the DNA tests just enhance the racism, sad to say. That was an interesting combination you shared here. I think it's pretty typical of a lot of people in Mexico to have such a mix.
Mexico Unexplained well, I’m an immigrant from Mexico, an 8th grade science teacher and work in Southern California. I also married a beautiful African American woman and we have Blackxican kids. All to say that I inspire tolerance and respect for other groups with my students. Check out my YT channel: Teacher Homie G.
Teacher Homie G The MOORS were Berbers, a Caucasoid people! You knew that right?
North Africans are Berber...they are white. Plus the Moors conqured Spain and so it ties into the Spanish dna. The Nigerian Dna is BS, these tests are known to be faulty and are spreading Marxism BS.
@@robroux6074 berber are not whites you are a fool for spreading lies. Wtf. They are brown skin and they were there before arab white took over North Africa
Thank you for making a video and explaining the ridiculous "surprise" of DNA results among Mexican-American and Mexican's. Historically more slaves came to the Americas through Mexico than the US. And like you explained in the video, many came to Mexico fleeing slavery and/or social issues, that they ended up "blending-in". I'm very pleased that the Mexican Government is acknowledging the Afro-identity in the country.
Thank you for your comments!
More slaves came through latin America, as the conquistadors were trafficking people for centuries there before entering North America.
Yes I'm from NY and I have cousins in Argentina
One of my brothers did a DNA test and apparently he has 4% Sub Saharan… that was a surprise for all of us. Very interesting information.
Respect From Cameroon Central/West Africa

I am glad people at the other end of the world are being enlighted with the rich culture Mexicohas to.offer.
You're respect is not needed here. This is liberal marxism propoganda. Mexico sent all of its slaves back to Cuba and Haiti , the ones that stayed , stayed in Acapulco but they will disappear by 2050(in terms of age)
@@robroux6074 No, no, mo... this is not liberal marxism propaganda. I just thought I would focus on a tiny corner of unknown Mexican history here, nothing more! I have no agenda.

Love your documentary, thank you so much for such a good work!! I am a second generation Afro Mexican American, from LA Costa chica Guerrero , cuajinicuilapa to be exact , love who I am and the color of my skin, proud of being Afro Mexican American!!!! Saludos desde Las Vegas NV , Nov/ 2 / 2018
Thank you for your comments. I'm glad you enjoyed my little presentation. This is turning into my most popular show ever. I appreciate your stopping by.

@ girl get a life racist
My brother, VIVA Vicente Guerrero. My parents are Guerrerence's too and ilove and follow our history.
I continue to LOVEEEE your videos!!!! I hope I can meet you one day and collaborate!!!!
In my state Guerrero, is a town called "La Perla negra", there live a lot of black people. Is very famous for that. The culture here, the race is a mix. My grandma it's black race, but their blood it's a mix too. Here you can call to black people "black" and is not bad or racism. We live happy with our black friends. ❤️
I am from lazaro cardenas Mich. And we are really mixed as well when I try to explain that to american they are no able to understand that it is possible to live in a place were the skin color doesn't matter.
Did not know about Estavanico until today. Interesting fellow. Thanks for the video, great work as always.
Thanks for stopping by and for your kind words. :-)
Charles Freeman they taught us about him in school but never said he was a Moor.
they fail to tell you the 2nd president of mexico was of African decent, Vicente Guerrero of which a section of mexico is named..
Estevanico was a Moroccan, who was captured by the Portuguese and used for his knowledge of language and geography skills. He was a Muslim and intermarried into the native American people's called the "Zuni Tribe" of new Mexico, and Arizona. His offspring still live there until today.
@@mensa517 You failed to make it to the 16:08 mark of the video. The guy mentions Guerrero.
Great story! And the video was put together very well. Great video! Thanks for sharing :-)
Matthew The Great Coin Roll Hunter excellent comment! I concur!
I am mixed and have had many questions about my African ancestors. Watching this vid helped!
I'm glad it did. Thanks Libby.
I am mixed and love hearing about the African root.
I bet you beautiful too
Yes Camel, yes sister!
🇲🇽🇲🇽👍🇲🇽👍
I am Mexican and I've always thought I have some black blood. I am very light skinned but I have that kinky hair. I struggled so much as a child because nobody knew how to style or even cut my hair I had so much and it was so curly and Frizzy lol. The first time I EVER got a good style and haircut was at a black salon the ladies name was Akila and the whole type she kept asking "are you part black girl"? She thought I was half white and half black lol because I have light brown hair with light brown eyes and pale skin and kinky hair lol. My mom on the other hand gets confused with being Asian 😂. People always go up to her speaking Korean or Japanese 😂🤣
Thanks for sharing this story. You would be surprised at how many similar stories there are like this out there.
YOUR HAIR IS A WIREY TEXTURE BECAUSE WE'RE THE EXTRATERRESTRIALS , THE HAIR ARE OUR ANTENNAS .
The kinks come from Morocco or Berber people. Remember that the Moorish people conqured spain for 200 years. Most likely its BERBER(LIBYA,Morrocco) hair.
What part of Mexico? Mexico is ahuge ass country. If your from Sihnaoloa then the kinks come from the LEBANESE mix. If your from the North its probably South Spain as the South Spanish are mixed with Arab Moors. Unless you're from Acapulco, your not Black.
Have you done an ancestry dna test ? My oldest brothers hair is kind of kinky/thick . I always get confused with being Asian usually white - Chinese or now that I live in Hawaii Filipino. Both of my parents are Mexican but after doing ancestry I found out that I’m (52 % Native) (25%Spanish )(5% Portuguese) (11% French) (5% African ) and then some small trace regions . It’s really cool to see all the diff places our ancestors came from , what we are made of seeing how different everyone looks .
@@anah8311 The 5% and Kink is from the Berbers of Africa. Remember the Berbers are in North Africa and for 200 years they controlled Spain. So if you have 25% Spanish that correlates to the Moorish Africans of 800-1400 who would have mixed with an Andalusian Spaniard.
Check to see what part of SPAIN your 25% is from . If its from Andalusia than its for sure that 5% African is Moroccan or Saharan(berber people).
Beautiful✊🏾 people
Keep up the Good Work!
Thanks, will do!
Great documentary
Love this channel thank you for helping me discover more of my culture and still keeping my curiosity.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for stopping by. I'm glad I could help.
Mi mexico gente hermosa
🇲🇽🇲🇽👍
Wow you learned something new every day cool
Thanks for stopping by. Please share with your friends. Not many people are talking about the black experience in Mexico.
Interesting...these stories -and this information- isn't even taught in k-12 in U.S. I could be wrong, but I've never come across this stuff in "school". Thx Mr.Bitto...excellent!
Glad you enjoyed it
Of course not ....most things taught in US public schools are from the white male perspective.
US history teaches about US history, not Mexico
@@josuebarboza9809 interesting because Mexico is kinda important to US History but US education system is kinda crappy anyway when you compare it to other developed countries. 🤣🤣🤣 you can always tell who's from the US when traveling because they're the only person who doesn't speak other languages while the rest of the world speaks multiple languages
@@talesfromtheleashexpatdogl1426 English is the only language that matters lol why learn another. Anyone who doesn't speak English had nothing important to say anyways. Others learn English, Americans don't have to learn another language for cultural diversity points lmao.
The only worthwhile history of Mexico from the US perspective is the Mexican American war, nought else.
US education is superior to developed countries when only taking into account white or Asian majority schools.
The numbers are brought down by the lower IQ scores of blacks and Hispanics.
dude, Lupita is totally georgous !
Who dat? , you are pretty.
Who dat? She is beautiful
She sure is.
What a great show you have just given on Mexico Unexplained.
As you said, not much is known about this group of Mexicans to whow I pay lots of respect.
I am glad for those African American slaves who managed to successfuly flee away from slavery and well made it
into Mexico where they could be free.
A fourth wave of blaks has been stablished in Mexico in the resent years seeking to enter the US. But ended up stranded in cities near the border like Tijuana.
These people were in persue of the AMERCICAN DREAM but found THE MEXICAN DREAM instead.
These doors were in a negative insult made by the meanest man on Earth TRUMP. Closing all possible ways or legal manners to let them in. And even adding the slogan that they came in from shithole cuntries; statment that the whole world condemns.
Gladly, Mexico is happily embracing them.
Trump should know these people are so brave that thier little nation of Haiti wss the first one to gain its indepandance. Even much earlier than the Thirteen colonies of whites did.
Any way we wish this fourth wave of new comers into Mexico well.
I wish them hapiness in this thier new land.
After all; The bible reads: "wherever I set foot that is my land.
José, tell us how you REALLY feel. jajaja :-) Thank you for your comments and for your support of the show for the past 2 years. This episode is one of my most popular ones and the one that has gone to 100 views the fastest. The only problem with this episode is that I can't earn any advertising money on it because TH-cam received a complaint from someone saying that this show was racist and offensive. TH-cam took my monetization privileges away and I have no idea what part of this show would be considered racist or offensive. I try my best to be even-handed in my presentations, realizing that some topics can be very sensitive. Apparently, I didn't do a good enough job this time.
Now, for some corrections/modifications. You made a factual error when you said that Haiti gained its independence before the 13 colonies did. Haiti became independent from France in 1804, the US existed a few decades before that.
I would lump this "4th Wave" in with the 3rd because it is immigration in the age of globalization. What is happening now with whatever few immigrants Mexico is taking in (not many) is not part of slavery, it is not part of the American black exodus from the south, so it is part of "immigration in the age of globalization." I did not get the idea of these "waves" from any academic text or from any other author; I came up with that classification system myself. I am open to amending it if Mexico all of a sudden changes its immigration policy and decides to let in multitudes of people from the developing world as the US has. Perhaps if Mexico follow's the US's lead and softens its immigration stance you might see entire Somali villages living in barrios in the bigger Mexican cities. If that happens and African immigrants are in such vast numbers that they actually have distinct neighborhoods and make special demands on the Mexican government for special privileges that would ensure that their cultures are preserved, then that would be a new type of immigration for Mexico, a phenomenon Mexico has never seen and one it would be ill-equipped to deal with (in my opinion).
Thanks again for your comments. You are always welcome here at Mexico Unexplained. Adelante.
Another error of fact: Haitians coming to the US through Mexico and being turned away at the border did not start with "mean Trump," but under the Obama Administration: www.latimes.com/world/mexico-americas/la-fg-mexico-tijuana-haitians-20160923-snap-story.html
José García Thank you for your comment. Your heart and intentions came through Crystal clear. I am a Black woman living in Texas preparing myself and my family to immigrate to Mexico. Although less than a day's drive for me, there are many others like me across the nation. I visited many times as a child and was always well treated. Our prayers are that this great country will as you say, accept us with open arms. And perhaps allow us to also contribute in some meaningful way. Blessings to you!

Thank you for sharing I had know about about Afro Mexican for a while now Mexican myself. My father was born in Veracruz had medium dark skin and waived hair I would be surprise to know I could have Afro in my blood.
I didn't take a dna and spend alot of money because when you get blood work done at your Dr's the blood work usually has a break down. I found out I am 6% black--- LOVE IT!!
I’m a native of El Salvador and my DNA results show 7% African ❤️
Fantastic video! Gracias por compartirlo
Love the video!
Great video
@Mexico Unexplained African people were likely to have been in America before slavery. There were at least 4 kingdoms in pre-colonial Africa to have had knowledge of, and voyaged to the new world, including Mexico, prior to Europeans. I, and many others, do not believe Africans in the new world are solely recent immigrants or post colonial African descendants.
@@Layinsebas Finally Growing a Brain! Huh! Good Boy!
they fail to tell you the 2nd president of mexico was of African decent, Vicente Guerrero of which a section of mexico is named..
mensa517 ...I knew about Vicente for a very long time,I told one of my Mexican friends about him and,maaan he didn't believe me at all.
However, my dude ain't no fool,he did his research and was quite amazed about it.He said they never taught them anything about Vicente throughout his years in school.
Not to my surprise of course.Still friends though.
Just wanted to share that.
Peace.
Golden Girl, Yeah....Thats bullshit, there are regions in south america that can speak fluent arabic and have stories recalling their interactions with the MOORS who by the WAY ruled a MAJORITY of europe up until 711 A.D. So who's the ignorant one now? Go Read a book
Love how you claim all these Great Civilizations but never mention anything about the ROMANI, when the ROMANI and Blacks share the most in common.
EXCELLENT VIDEO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Thank you very much!
This is great to know though I knew this existed. Thank u for this video.
Thank you for stopping by and thank you for the respectful comment.
It took five hundred years to recognized Afromexicans,but they did game recognition! It is better later than never! Thanks for the very interesting presentation. Mexico has a rich history, it is unfortunate that Mexican Americans are not taught about their history as part of their education. History is a subject people have to explore themselves,and it takes a life time!
So true, especially the last part. Thanks for commenting.
I don't understand why you think that we do this recognized they fight on our revolution and won their freedom they are Mexicans doesn't matter witch color is their skin. As a Mexican a know I am a mestizo like the most majority of Mexicans. I have white, brown and black family members.
@@__-fl3yt
You are very stupid.To say that the majority of Mexican's.Are Black-African Mexican's.That is a incorrect.Speak for yourself.When you say that.All of us whom are (Chicano's)Mexican/American's.Are not Black-African's.That is something very offensive.For anyone to say about us.Our people do not come from Africa.We are not Black-African's.So do not offend.
@@joseparedes4975 oh god you're one of those🤦♀️
Didn't took 500 years they were Mexican citizen since we won our independence. Now they want to be counted as black Mexicans because they think is better for them because USA divide their citizens for race.
How amazing and deep weird thing that’s gringo’s had more knowledge about our culture and country than many of us, and you can be able to see it just asking some questions about his roots to some random dudes in the street, too sadly, we need to be more focus on our formal education.
Amazing video I really liked it, keep doin’ it in that way.
Thank you very much for your comments and support. I will keep going.
This is teach since 3 grade in in mexico.
Did you went to USA schools?
I do like your video
Thank you!
I’m surprised people are surprised that races mix...
I am from guerrero mexico i have african native american and spanish ancestry
I love finding black people every where and any where they live
me, too; I'm learning Spanish just so I can talk to the Afro-Mexicans, because the rest of you Mexicans are so racist toward black folks.
africans come from africa no where else
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟,❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,
Very interesting information
The video documentary. Being introduced here. Is in complete contradiction. To some other TH-cam video's. That seem to be on an almost similar subject. But with the exception. That the other video's. Are claiming that their BLACK ancestor's. Were not brought here to AMERICA from AFRICA.They claim that their BLACK complexioned ancestor's. Have always been here. They try to say. That they are BLACK COMPLEXIONED NATIVE-AMERICAN'S.
Native to this AMERICAN continent. In other word's.That BLACK people's Originated here in AMERICA.Not in the AFRICAN continent. As has always been said and believed. But here in this video. The narrator is contradicting that. Saying that AFRICAN SLAVE'S.Were taken to MEXICO. As AFRICAN SLAVE'S.Thus the explanation of how and why. There are BLACK complexioned people's in MEXICO. Do you see the contradiction ? I believe all of these type of documentary video's. Are being made from and by. The FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES OF THE U.S.A.
THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.And THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION. 🔎 In order to go into MEXICO. For the purpose of crime prevention. And also to solve alot of the pending cold case's perhap's. This video is correct. In the sense that it is speaking truthfully. The BLACK complexioned people's. Were brought here to AMERICA. Via the TRANS-ATLANTIC CROSSING. By the SPANISH-EUROPEAN'S.
And the BRITISH-EUROPEAN'S.You are not native to this nation and land.
I'll wait for my paycheck from the FBI and CIA for making this video. I won't hold my breath, though.
Wow

@@empresseve5283
Yes that is exactly what I'm saying. The video is a fraud. The photo's are fraudulent. There were never any BLACK'S. In the MEXICAN REVOLUTION. That's all a big lie.It is all some type of political propaganda. My SPANISH ancestor's. Never took any AFRICAN BLACK SLAVE'S.With them into TENOCHTITLAN.To help conquer the AZTECA EMPIRE. That's another lie.All of those video's that you see here. On TH-cam. That are about the AFRICAN'S. Being some sort of rightful heir's.To the MEXICAN NATION. Are all fraudulent history. If you go to your nearest public library. And you go to the part of the library. Where the book's on MEXICO'S HISTORY are. You will see that there are no MEXICAN HISTORY book's. Which will support any nor all of the claim's.Which are attempting to be made. In any such video's.Like I said previously. They are nothing more. Than perhap's. Some sort of conspiracy. Through political propaganda. Perhap's someone thinking foolishly. About attempting to do something foolish. Like invade the MEXICAN NATION. With some sort of military stealth. It is perhap's the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY. Trying to get some of it's AGENT'S into MEXICO. 🇲🇽 For the purpose of preventing future crime's. Solving cold-case crime's,ETC.The C.I.A./F.B.I.
Understand lady. We are not that stupid. 🙄 😒 🤣 No l have no AFRICAN D.N.A.
In me woman. Don't believe everything that you hear. On social media. Of course that should exclude me. Because I'am speaking the truth. But like I said. Go to your nearest public library. And read some true MEXICAN HISTORY. Our skin (MEXICAN'S/CHICANO'S) is BRONZE.🟤 Not BLACK ⚫ like the AFRICAN'S. I know my people's true history. And I also know when someone is trying to steal it. 🤪🥸🤬💩🖕😂🤣🇲🇽 🇺🇸 And I also know that nobody shouldn't. And I also know that nobody can. If the U.S.A. really wanted to take it for theirselves. They could have. And should have done so. During the war between both nation's.U.S.A.VS.MEXICO.Read about it. It's all in the history book's.
@@joseparedes4975 So many words u have typed friend but I'm not sure I'm 100% convinced. Your theory about the Cia starting this rumor to invade Mexico to help reduce crime rate doesn't add up. Yes, I will continue to do my research on this topic I find interesting. Anyways history is supposed to connect us.
Mexican is a Nationality as far as I know.
I believe Mexico had a black president before the United States.
After the 8th century the term Moor came to be used for the many Arabian clans who had invaded the Mediterranean and Africa because of their complexions which were the same dark brown or near black to absolutely blackcolor of the Berbers.
Don't include that young lady Lupita. She's not Mexican at all. She was just born there because of when here parents from Kenya visiting. So she was born there when her mom was pregnant. That's why she's called Lupita. After she was born, they went back to Africa.
Yes they need to fix that in the video.
@@sanjuanagasca7476 No, I don't need to "fix that." Lupita is Mexican, legally and by birth and I explained all that in the video. She is a Mexican citizen, speaks Spanish fluently, etc. What more do you want?
Everybody is untitled to there opinion.because someone is born in Germany and speaks German but isn't make someone German by Heritage.genetics DNA
@@sanjuanagasca7476 you do understand Mexican and German are nationalities right? If you are born in Mexico you are Mexican.
Damn the story about the mullata lady that drew a picture of a ship and jumped in scared me. That type of stuff still exists. One of my old friends who is from Veracruz was even scared to tell us some stories. But he eventually did. Shit was scary. There is a place in Veracruz that still has a lot of that scary stuff. He told me about it but I forgot. Super scary
Sergio Lemus What do you mean? What story is is this?
Black people where here before slavery . Southern states of Mexico have statue of black men (Mexicanos) of Olmec empire
Vic Aimes You WISH! The OLMEC are 100% Amerindian like all of the rest of the ancient human remains found in the Americas! Stop with the ignorant propaganda!
Sorry I'm an anthropologist the Olmecs clearly have cornrows if you observe the back of the statues, broad noses, and thick full lips. It is sad that there is this push to be willingly ignorant. I know it is upsetting that the world now knows of this history. Your ideology of hierarchy is ludicrous and very saddening and is obviously, to the rest of the world a figment of your imaginations. People are all beautiful educate yourself is my hope for you
Satonia Smith Anthropologist? Brahahaha! Cornrows? Shut up fool! Learn the difference between braids and cornpuffs!
Satonia Smith theres no corn rolls on any Olmec head... They have braids on helmets.... Broad noses and full lips are common features. Your not an anthropologist dude dont lie.
People have been lied to. Look at the Mayan Murals at Bonampak, clearly negros painted right there on the walls of the temple. There is literally not a Mexican on sight. Mexican people are black and whited mixed, in my opinion. Don't be a fool, use common sense and don't be indoctrinated by the European system which has stolen all of us copper colored peoples land.

Great video but change the speed up to 1.25 and thank me later...

Wow this podcast is awesome much love from the USA. Although I'm curious have you ever heard of aztlan
Thanks for the kudos. Please share with your friends, like my vids, etc. and then I can grow and do more. I did a show about Aztlan a while back. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/JBldNWJtVp8/w-d-xo.html
Mexico Unexplained cool thx
Mecanpipo are a branch of native Americans and also Spanish. blapipo come from Africa and whypipo come from Europe. It's that simple ese. 😓
Sebastian black meskin Alvarez you made me laugh.
😂
My best friend is from Mexico. She was born in Jalisco and moved to the states in the 1st grade. We both took DNA tests a few years ago. She didn't show any African DNA but it's definitely in her family. Some of her cousins are darker and have kinky hair. She had alot of Russian though. We were surprised by that. I didn't have any Native and definitely don't have family from Mexico but I somehow had Portuguese. I'm guessing that was some carry over from the beginning of the slave trade.
Thank you for sharing this important history. The people of Mexico were a freedom loving people. I wish we could put our issues aside and build our alliances again. Think of what we could get done if Blacks and Latinos joined forces. 💕. As an Afro Latina, I would be so proud, of both my peoples. Peace.
What do you mean alliance ? There has never been any alliance . Between Mexican's and African's.The African's use to be slave's to our Spanish ancestor's.And beside's, this video is a bunch of big lie's.There is no such thing as African (Afro). Mexican's.All of those people whom are of African/Latino ancestry.Come from the Atlantic (ocean) island's.The Caribbean,Haiti,Cuba ETC.Not Mexico.Quit trying to help the dude in the video.Create lie's.

Ancient America was not isolated from the old world as many historians and anthropologists would have us believe. People from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean traveled great distances, mingled with each other and exchanged knowledge and products. Long before Columbus became aware of the possibility of land in the west, black, among other people, had made contact with the Americas and had already left an impression on the Native culture. Knowledge, agricultural products, livestock, metals, and other commercial items were exchanged between the two worlds. Evidence leading to establishing the presence of blacks in ancient America comes from a number of sculptures, oral traditions, eye-witness reports, artifacts, Arabic documents, coins, and inscriptions. In Meso-American art, we see Africans and Semites in positions of power and prestige, especially in trading communities of Mexico.
A report in Before Columbus by Cyrus Gordon describes coins found in the southern Caribbean region:
“…..off the coast of Venezuela was discovered a hoard of Mediterranean coins with so many duplicates that it cannot well be a numismatist’s collection but rather a supply of cash. Nearly all the coins are Roman, from the reign of Augustus to the 4th century CE. Two of the coins however, are Moorish of the 8th century CE. It is the latter that gives us the terminus a quo (i.e. time after which) of the collection as a whole (which cannot be earlier than the latest coins in the collection). Roman coins continued in use as currency into the medieval times. A Moorish ship, perhaps from Spain or North Africa, seems to have crossed the Atlantic around 800 CE .“
The discovery of these coins adds validity to the reports, recorded by Muslim historians and geographers, concerning the journeys of Muslim adventurers and navigators across the Atlantic Ocean. In Muruj adh-Dhahab wa Ma’adin al-Jawhar (The Meadows of Gold and Quarries of Jewels) written around the year 956 CE, Abul Hassan Ali ibn al-Hussain ibn Ali al-Masudi, a historian, geographer, philosopher, and natural scientist, wrote about a young man of Cordoba named Khashkhash ibn Saeed ibn Aswad who crossed the Atlantic Ocean, made contact with people on the other side, and returned in the year 889 CE. Al Masudi wrote:
“Some people feel that this ocean is the source of all oceans and in it there have been many strange happenings. We have reported some of them in our book Akhbar az-Zaman. Adventurers have penetrated it at the risk of their lives, some returning safely, others perishing in the attempt. One such man was an in habitant of Andalusia named Khashkhash. He was a young man of Cordoba who gathered a group of young men and went on a voyage on this ocean. After a long time, he returned with a fabulous booty. Every Spaniard (Andalusian) knows his story.
A narration by Abu Bakr ibn Umar al-Qutiyya (not to be confused with the author of Tarikh Iftitah al-Andalus, Ibn al-Qutiyya) relates the story of Ibn Farrukh who landed in February 999 CE in Gando (Great Canary), visited King Guanariga and continued his journey westwards till he found islands he called Capraria and Pluitana. In May of that year he arrived back in Spain.
Abu Abd Allah Muhammad al-Idrisi (1090-1180), the famous Arab physician and geographer who established himself in the Arabicised court of King Roger II of Sicily, reported in his extensive work Kitab al-Mamalik wa-l-Masalik, in the 12th century on the journey of a group of seamen who reached the isles of the Americas. Al Idrisi wrote:
“A group of seafarers sailed into the sea of darkness and fog (the Atlantic Ocean) from Lisbon in order to discover what was in it and to what extent were its limits. They were a party of eight and they took a boat which was loaded with supplies to last them for months. They sailed for eleven days until they reached turbulent waters with great waves and little light. They thought that they would perish so they turned their boat southward and travelled for twelve days. They finally reached an island that had people and civilization but they were captured and chained for three days. On the fourth day, a translator came speaking the Arabic language! He translated for the King and asked them about their mission. They informed him about themselves, then they were returned to their confinement. When the westerly wind began to blow they were put in a canoe blindfolded, and brought to land after three days sailing. They were left on the shore with their hands tied behind their backs. When the next day came another tribe appeared, freeing them and informing them that between them and their lands was a journey of two months.
This astonishing historical report not only describes contact between Muslim seamen and the Native people of the Americas, but it also describes travel between islands, probably the Bahamas chain or the Lesser Antilles. The islanders had developed the ability to speak Arabic, a language that cannot be mastered by a single contact. They must have been regularly visited by Arabic speaking Muslim merchants or adventurers, or they had lived in Muslim territory.
In October, 1929 CE, Khalid Edhem Bey discovered by chance in the library of Serallo, in the city of Istanbul, a map of parchment made in the month of Muharram in the year 919 AH (March 1513). The rare and valuable geographical letter contained, among other legends, the following note:
“This chapter explains how this map has been made. Such a map nobody owns at present. By the hands of this poor man it has been composed and now elaborated.”
The discovery was very significant. As already stated, it had to do with a parchment in Turkish writing, painted in several colors, with dimensions 1.85×0.60. It comprises the Atlantic Ocean with America and the western rim of the world. The other parts of the world, which the map probably included, have been lost.
The author of the map, Piri Muhyi’d-Din Re’is was a famous mavigator and map maker who died about 1554-55 CE. He wrote a handbook on navigation in the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas, which was known as Piri Re’is Behriye. Perhaps the map found by Khalil Edhem Bey was part of this handbook, which was presented to Sultan Selim I in 1517 CE, and which would explain how the mysterious parchment was found in Serallo. What is most important to this study, however, is that this map is one of the most conclusive pieces of hard evidence to show the validity of Muslim exploration in the Western hemisphere. Piri Re’is, a Turkish navigator, wrote that he used twenty source-maps, among them eight maps dating from the time of Alexander the Great, an Arab map of India, four Portuguese maps of the Indian Ocean and China, and a map by Columbus of the western area. But Piri’s map contains information that could not have been known by Columbus. It contains the correct relative longitude across Africa, and across the Atlantic, all the way from the meridian of Alexandria, Egypt, to Brazil. The mid-Atlantic islands are shown with remarkable accuracy. The Cape Verde islands, Madeira Islands, and the Azores are shown in perfect longitude. The Canary Islands are off by one degree latitude. The Andes are shown on this map of 1513 CE. The Andes were not “discovered” by Europeans until 1527 CE with the coming of Pizarro. The Atrato River (in present day Columbia) is shown for a distance of 300 miles from the sea. Its eastward bend at latitude 5 degrees north is correct. The Amazon is shown twice, once on the equator of the main grid and once on the equator of the small grid. The island of Marajo is shown at the mouth of the Amazon, but this island was not officially discovered by Europeans until 1543 CE. Someone must have travelled throughout the upper part of the South America exploring rivers and recording information.
The Haji Ahmed map of 1559 CE, also supports the validity of a Muslim presence in the Americas long before Columbus. He was also a Turkish map-maker who, in the tradition of Islamic scientists and technicians of his age benefited from the knowledge of the ancient Egyptians, Hindus, Greeks, Romans, and Phoenicians, and took it to a higher level of development. Muslims had led the world in Astronomy, Mathematics, Chemistry, Medicine, History, Geography, Navigation, etc. for hundreds of years before the 16th century, and Haji Ahmed followed in their footsteps. The Eastern Hemisphere, on his map, is poorly done and probably was based on the sources of Ptolemy. The Western side, however, was mapped so well that it is hard to believe that anyone could have drawn this map who did not have access to maps of people well-travelled in the Americas. The shapes of North and South America are surprisingly modern, especially the western coasts. Their drawing on a highly sophisticated spherical projection puts the map about two centuries ahead of the cartography of that time.
We were here first there is absolutely no date or no trace or how long the black man or blk women been on this planet..and that's real Puerto Ricans Cubans Brazilians Central Americans El salvadorians all have African DNA my father is originally from Puerto Rico but grew up in Central America and he look black and my mom is African American and I'm light skin with gray eyes and silky hair and I look Indian by the indigenous people
Nice but the facts are wrong Africans were in Mexico before slavery began in America
Besides citing scripture, what sort of evidence do you have?
Mexico Unexplained he don't have none because it's not true the only things consisted on cenamahuac before Europeans were brown indians no black or white people/descendants anywhere (btw I'm afro Mexican)
Steve 317 if your the "omlecs were black" type, then I have a friend who's nearly full native mesoamerican and he has a baby boy face who resembles one of the omlec statues(and he's not black or has a trace of African) if you want I could show you just hmu I can give you knowledge to absorb
Sebastian, I really appreciate your comments. I have been inundated with "all indigenous people in Mexico were from Africa" comments on this thread and on the one show I made about The colossal stone heads of the Olmecs. I have no idea where this "all civilizations were started by blacks" and "we are the original Hebrews" came from. Before I did these shows I had never even heard of these claims. I have gotten some pretty nasty, racist private messages, too. I always start by saying, "show me some proof" and no one ever steps up besides quoting scripture that is not even from the Bible and seems totally made up. Thanks again for stopping by to give much needed perspective.
Mexico Unexplained black people decided to make a religious group (Hebrew Israelites) just like aztlan with la Raza and white supremacy with kkk just look at it with that perspective just keep debunking them like I do and brush them off its good and your welcome I got your back don't worry 🙂
PLEASE ADD MORE PHOTOS OF THE PPL IN YOUR PRESENTATIONS.

I was a little concerned about copyright issues when it came to these photos. I don't want my show to be taken down. I would like to go down to the Costa Chica and take photos myself, but I can't do that right now. Thanks for your feedback and thanks for stopping by. :-)
Ron Soto, you mean longer and/or more shows???
Mexico Unexplained exactly
Wish I could. Unfortunately, book sales, donations and ad revenues can't support me. If they did, I would do this full time. You'd see a show every single day.
I had the good fortune of serendipitously finding out about African history in this country
and all of the Americas while a work study student at Roosevelt University during the protest
1960's. It was the book written by Joel Augustus Rogers named by him "Race and Sex in the
Americas" written during the early 1930's that fascinated me and I have studied the subject
of blacks in world history ever since. As King once said "NO LIE CAN LIVE FOREVER". That
book along with "Destined to Witness, Growing up black in Nazi Germany" (also a you-tube
video you can see on this website!) are among my favorites as is "Ten Days That Changed America" by Steve Gillon.
TRULY, TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION!
Then there is a population of Indigenous Americans often misnomered as 'African -American' ,'Black', etc. 'Mexico' also has strong Moorish history and influence.
This very Beautiful. Africans have also came to the lands before this video mentioned. That will take some knowing some early African travelers.
IF MEXICO REALIZE THAT MEXICO HAS THE BLACK TRIBE OF ISSACHAR IN THIER LAND THAT WOULD SEARCH THEM OUT AND CHERISH THEM CAUSE TRUTHFULLY THEY ARE GOD CHOSEN THEY DIDNT CHOSE GOD GOD CHOSE THEM ISSACHAR WHICH MEANS MEXICO HAS A GEM BLESS THEM GOD WILL BLESS MEXICO LAND N WHO EVER ELSE....AFRO MEXICANS ARE GOD'S I WOULDNT MESS WIRH THEM THEYRE SEPCIAL VERYYYY IMPORTANT READ YOUR BIBLE...PEACE

Mole is not of African origin. you do not know the main ingredients in it, they are based in the ingredients originating in the foods of Mexico in the American Continent. Peanuts are original to the american Continent, not Africa so are the different varieties of chilli peppers, tomatoes and chocolate. So please do not try to steal our food from mexico. The African on the contrary have adopted our Mexican cuisine. Corn is original to the American Continent, the Black women from Guerrero and Oaxaca have learned it from the Native women in Mexico, my people the Zapotec women. Afro people in southern Mexico have survived thanks to the foods of the American Continent and the cooking methods from the Native American woman. You Africans are incredible. You Africans are even saying that the Olmecs Were African. 1492 the date in History that changed the life of the Amerindian as he knew it forever where immigrants willing and unwilling human cargo have benefitted from the land except the Native American. The people of the Costa Chica and Guerrero have grabbed the best fertile land and coastal land rich in sea life. Guerrero and Oaxaca's Native people are suffering hunger and poverty same thing the indians in Chiapas where all they eat is corn tortillas and wild weeds. Same thing in Chihuahua where Tarahumara children walk 2 hrs every day through rough terrain to the nearest school and all they eat is plain tortillas everyday.I'm Zapotec from Oaxaca, we bear the image the soil gave us to survive in the American continent, we are the natural selection for the survival of the species, our destiny is tied to the land, these are laws that no man can change. Without us Amerindian you will be homeless.
teresaguerrasalazar just because mole ingredients are made from non Africa originated materials don't mean it was not invented by a African person lol. Salsa is made by Spanish instruments and Africans made that. Corrido is made from Spanish/French instrument but Mexicans made corrido lol.
teresaguerrasalazar I disagree about you being Zapotec. You have a online social media account you are a fraud foh. I’ve seen Zapotec people they dont role with that shit.
@@carlosm.3426 Curry is totally different from mole not even one ingredient it is the same
@@Layinsebas Yes, I am Zapotec born in Tehuantepec Santa Maria Xadani Oaxaca. All of my ancestors are registered in the church records as far back as 1780. I do not know about other on lime media account as I only use basic facebook and youtube, I.;m Zapotec with the typical Indian features with the almond shaped eyes, high cheekbones and dark skin, My maternal grandmother was born died and was buried in her Tehuana Indigenous clothing that she herself embroidered and sold to make an honest living, she walked barefooted all her life and, she spoke the Zapotec language, she never own a pair of shoes, she did own gold jewelry made by the Zapotec people. Ask me anything you want to know about the Zapotec people om my Fathers side, the foods and customs, weddings, what song they play at funerals and I will let you know. I have family in Salina Cruz, Ixtepec Oaxaca, Tehuantepec, Juchitan Oaxaca, Veracruz, Yucatan, Baja California, Chiapas. Mexico City. I went through all Mexican educational system and 1 year of US High School and 4 years of US college education. On my Mother side, I'm Yaqui and Tarahumara, my parents met in Guadalajara during Mexican internal wars in the 1030s. I know there are about 5 more people with the same name here on the WEB But I'm the Zapotec and Tarahumara Indigenous woman. Without us, the Indigenous people foreigners from other lands would be homeless. We the indigenous people in the American Continent are being disrespected and have been abused for too long by whites and Afrocentric. we are going to complain to the United Nations.

Conjecture?..where?
"This series presents information based partly on theory and conjecture..." So, to answer your question, all over the place, in over 100 shows so far.
Interesting info but the picture changes on the video is weird
Maybe you should put your sources in the description so that we may check for ourselves...just a suggestion. I say this because I've read first eye witness accounts and have bought several books that state the people of America had negro physiognomy and dark skin. This was before the so-called TransAtlantic slave trade and the historical lies. Unfortunately, many of us love being spoon fed information and assuming its truth because a video "seems" educational.
Rising Sun I direct everyone to my web site for sources if they are curious. I mention that multiple times.
Thanks, but the only reason I asked is because for this particular segment of your website you reference only 2 sources: Arce, Christine. México’s Nobodies: The Cultural Legacy of the Soldadera and Afro-Mexican Women. Albany: SUNY Press, 2016.
Archibold, Ronald C. “Negro? Prieto? Moreno? A question of Identity for Black Mexicans.” New York Times, 25 Oct. 2014.
Yet neither of these individuals provide proof of their theories. So am I correct to surmise that since they have no proof, neither do you?
What "theories?" This is documented history. That's the "proof." This "black planet" revisionism is very tiring, and where the hell is it coming from?
How does this "documented" history prove these "Black Mexicans" came from Africa? I'd like to see that. No need for emotion, I'm simply reasoning for the truth. Unfortunately, your truth contradicts the truth of many earlier explorers, colonizers, and scholars. Do you seek the truth or only information that supports your belief?
I'm not seeking only information that supports my "belief." That's what you and others making these ridiculous black revisionist comments are doing. You have nothing to support the idea that the original inhabitants of Mexico were black African. There are no linguistic, cultural, DNA or other ties to ancient Africa. If you are going to allege that there are, you have to provide the proof. It doesn't exist outside some fringe black history scholars and some crazy preachers who whip up their congregations into some racial hysteria about having their histories stolen. I guess we could check the written records of these ancient Africans to see the documentation of their prehistoric ancient voyages across the ocean. Wait.... not a single sub-Saharan black culture had an alphabet or writing system of any kind! So, we can't even check a written record from there. The ancient Mexicans did have writing, though, and it was unique to them and unlike anything else in the world. Bottom line, and this is a broken record at this point, there is no concrete proof linking ancient Mexico to Africa. Period. You said there is "no need for emotion." Well, I don't need to be patronized on my own channel. You are a guest here. I am tired of repeating myself over and over again. I did not start this project to be a referee in the comments section.
I am American with African, Native American and Scottish DNA, but USA to the bone...

Why do you keep showing Lupita? She's not Mexican.
Yes, she is.
Simon Sozzi is she kenyan? Mexicans have kenyan origins
"I'm Mexican and Kenyan at the same time," she said, according to El Mañana. "I've seen the quarrels over my nationality, but I'm Kenyan and Mexican at the same time. So again, I am Mexican-Kenyan and I am fascinated by carne asada tacos."
So there you have it. And yet, Milenio a Mexico City-based paper, noted that "Mexican Lupita Nyong'o" won the Best Supporting Actress award and that she "was born in 1983 in Mexico City, but her parents are of Kenyan origin. The actress grew up in Kenya, but at age 16 her parents sent her to Mexico to learn Spanish." Her parents are Kenyan, but she's Mexican.
I'm proud of her success 👏👏👏👏👏 and proud of her parents for raising a talented young woman. 👏👏👏👏
I am happy for her success, too. She was named after the Virgin of Guadalupe and was born in Mexico City. She speaks spanish and has a mexican passport. That's enough mexican for me. More than enough. What a beautiful person she is.
