- Mexico's African history. In this video, I visit several historic sites like the Olmec Museum, Yanga, and an afro-descendant community in Oaxaca Chacahua Mexico to learn more about the black people that live in Mexico and its African history.
Xalapa Museum of Anthropology is located in Xalapa Veracruz Mexico and is the largest collection of artifacts from the Olmec civilization, the mother culture of Mesoamerica.
Yanga Mexico is located in the southern area of the State of Veracruz, Mexico, named after Gaspar Yanga, the cimarron leader who in 1609 resisted an attack by Spanish forces trying to regain control of the area. Yanga Mexico is also known as one of the first free slave establishments in the Americas
The Lagunas de Chacahua National Park is a national park located in Oaxaca and is also the home to a fishing village where a large percentage of the Villagers are Afro Mexican descendants.

The label “what they don’t show you” is deliberately misleading. First, who is “they”. Second, African genetics vary greatly by region, and as a general rule Mexicans have - on average- only 2% to 4% African genetics. My family is from northern Mexico and my genetics revealed 1%. My genetics include 3% Jewish and 1% Scottish but I don’t consider myself either one of them. I’m 70 European, 29 % indigenous and yes 1% African. You’ll find most Mexicans are a mix of indigenous and European. The simple truth is most are not African.
"They" is Mexico Mainstream Media that reaches the world platform please tell Im wrong. We all shall the reaction of Namor the Black Panther character from Mexico's Main Street Media, not looking like the typical European Mexican so please tell me how you don't understand this? perhaps your not fimalar with the situation and commenting based on personal experiences this is why videos like this are important. please look over all the comments you can see several people who did not even know that black people existed in Mexico nor the black history Mexico have you can be mad all you want or throw statistical numbers to me it doesn't matter, videos like these are necessary to educate people. the title is appropriate
Soy de Veracruz, el mote "jarocho" viene de los esclavos africanos y los hijos de estos con indígenas. La realidad es que de historia mexicana sabes poco. En Veracracuz, Guerrero y Oaxaca está la mayoría de afromexicanos. En el norte hay población obviamente de descendiente europea pero casualmente esa gente se les olvida los indígenas de aridoamerica que habitaban tanto lo que es los estados suereños de estados unidos y el norte de México. Que tú descendencia en las pruebas de ADN no dice nada porque eres UN INDIVIDUO. Eres como la gente en Nuevo León que se creen europeos y la realidad su descendientes vienen de los Tlaxcaltecas y Huastecos de igual forma. En Veracruz la mayoria de afromexicanos vive en zonas rurales y en pobreza desde tiempos coloniales. Ahora bien yo no creo que los Olmecas sean africanos porque se han hecho pruebas ge éticas y arqueológicas que demuestran que eran personas nativas de este continente y su descendencia sigue presente en la región de Veracruz y Tabasco donde se desarrollaron.
Detracting statement. It's not mainstream knowledge. Everytime I ask a South American including Mexican, they know nothing about the black communities in their countries. They always think I'm Cuban or Puerto Rican. This was a great eye opening video and many Mexican people are also saying they didn't know this history or where to find the current communities
This is beautiful!!! I saw a post years ago stating there were African origins in Mexico!! I appreciate you sharing this with us. We're definitely a diverse people. It's sad that everyone doesn't embrace or appreciate that fact!!! I love it!!!💛💛
@@ACEDTVL That's that 70% bullshit!!
I’m from yanga Veracruz. My grandmother was Afro Mexican. My heart melted seeing my pueblito.
Can I ask you a question? Why are so many mexicans resistant to this knowledge? I've had this conversation at work before in an educational tone and I was looked at as though I had an eye in the middle of my forehead. Does it stem from what is perceived embarrassment to be associated with the african race? I'm pleading ignorance and anxiously awaiting your response.
That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Tu ,abuela era mexicana los africanos están en África
Déjala en paz. En qué te afecta si su abuela es africana o no? Tu no sabes la descendía de su abuela tampoco para asumir algo.
Yanga is a hero in Mexico
As a black man born in the Caribbean raised in USA & France I get sad at the fact that us as blacks aren’t connected. We gotta come together. It’s a must
Even in the US , blacks are divided, the same in Africa.
i've been saying that for years but falling on deaf ears.
native black truth NEVER GONNA HAPPEN
No
So many cultures. It's so beautiful 🥹
I’m a Mexican American and was not aware of the Afro mexican history. Thank you so much for sharing, so important.
Cause there a minority there so rare to see in Mexico you have to go to there designated spots to find them 😂😂it's mainly white or brown Mexicans!
Read the tribe of Issachar in the Bible. They are the Mexicans, the hardest workers God created 🕊
My grandpa was so black he didn't look like a dark Mexican ...no he looked like a African man ...I'm Mexican African ... proud of my black genes and my Mexican genes
Descendants of the olmec
@@Sean-vh8ze olmecas aren’t African lol
@@lewischacon6009
Maybe Not African, but they are BLACK PEOPLE nut 🥜
Black doesn't mean African. that is some whitewash history lies made up by foreign European scholars
I'm a black Mexican I'm so happy to see a video on us with so many views a lot of people don't know about us
Blackxican!
❤I love it!!
This shows that Latinos we are a diverse community ❤️❤️❤️
I know much love respect ❤️
Good day am planning to come and stay in 🇲🇽 for 6 months any suggestions of great places I can stay and visit?
The biggest Afro Mexican community is in the state of Guerrero. Named after the first Black president of Mexico. Cuajinicuilapa !
vincente romon g , general , abolishedslavery in all of mexico actually fought in major battles a number of them , he was black indian as they say no good deed goes unpunished he waskilledby firing squad
vincente ramon guerrero saldana
Where can I watch the movie??
@@777morgan3 No, he was african and Mexican. Stop hiding .
ALSO THE HISTORY OF VERA CRUZ AND THE WARRIOR YANGA IS HIDDEN. THAT IS HOW THE WESTERN THINKERS OPERATE. HIDE HISTORY, TWIST IT AND LIE!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this! Everyone always thinks I’m puerto rican or Dominican. My Nana told me herself that my great great grandfather was African. They grew up in Mexico about 70 miles from Guerrero. I wish more people were aware that we exist
Wherever you are, you have loved by us, sister. One day as the scripture hath said, we shall be one people, one nation, one tongue indivisible again. I am right here, next to your border.
Roughly so ur not black but theres black in u
@@zegedexactly lmao they really holding on to that 2%
We do know now. That's so awesome!!❤️
@@LalaSmiles you are black
Mom is California Chicana. Dad is Black American from North Carolina. Thanks for making this video. I’m even more proud of my heritage as a result. This is so cool!
blacks aint mexican neither are whites
Your mom's latino and your dad's African if he's living in the USA his ancestors were $l@ves along with most blk people in the America's or throughout the world
That's how yall got to these lands in the first place MAINLY ...only a small amount of African travelers came to the south America's in small numbers BEOFRE THE EUROPEANS
I love everything about this video this young man is so very very wise I wish you the best young man may God hold your hand as you travel through the land bless you
@@ricardorascon88 you lie.
Everyone thought i was African American or Dominican but i’m mexican american no doubt my skins a little more melanated but i was always proud of my darker skin💯 shoutout to all my fellow afro mexicans 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Were you born in America?
the real mexicans. love ya.
i am proud of my white skin 😋
@@MsAKA45 afro Mexicans are so mixed they are more native than afro.. probably 20% or less
❤❤❤ I'm LOVING your dark, melanated skin! Tu es ahora Afro-Mexican Gringa! Sending you LOVE! (LOVE of all shades!)
Mexicans are made of many colors, and we are proud of it.
A persons color doesn’t determine there race
@@rickgrimes9481 He didn't say it did.
He said they are proud of their diversity of colors. To which I know the Spaniards tried to brainwash most Latin Americans to hate dark skin. But you do have those that love it
@@kamargee9680 thanks!
What colors Macqjr?
This the type of content that makes me incredibly happy. With ❤ from Kenya 🇰🇪
I’m glad shining light on this. As afro-latina the struggle to be “seen” and treated with love is real
These really have to change! It is not possible that in this day and age we continue discriminating against people because of their race!!!! How I wish they could feel and live the same way as their lighter skin counterparts!
This is the biblical Hebrew Israelite tribe of Issachar
Thats silly young lady. You wouldn't be more loved if you were green, purple, or black. We would care for you because of who you are. We love Guerrero because he was a Mexican hero that played a great part in gaining our independence not because he was black.
I'm a Hines 57 of all races of the world. I belive that I'm a good parent. But all of me is a good parent. My Black, White, Native American, and European acestry. I celebrate all of what I am, and I don't feel that anyone of my ancestors deserves more praise or love than any of the others. It took them all to make me what I am.
@@daisyhardiman7776there a minority so minority tend to get picked on in every country 😂
My paternal grandpa said he was black Mexican and Navajo my entire life. He spoke fluent Spanish and was born near Red River - Paris Texas. He was very dark skin. His family was there for generations and reminded me it was Mexico for his great grandparents before the war. He also talked about tales of Red River War.
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s very interesting.
Of course. I’m glad you keep your roots alive! So do I. I always knew of my decente/ancestors.
Us as black people may have to leave US. We Must Network Now. It's Some Bad News Brewing In the world. Waiting much longer may be to late! United Black. We can Blk Communities there and Build ... Network to unite...Is the only answer!
I love this video and yes we have Black humans people and that's great that have been there in Mexico forever and we love them they are part of us now ❤ and we are part of them ❤ we belonged together ❤ darker and lighter shade of Brown 😜
Hey! That’s where my family is from, Paris,TX. They were raised in the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma.
I’m Mexican, this beautiful, Gods children are all colors
y'all Was black first but y'all mixed in with the Caucasians AKA Esau AKA Edom AKA other nations that why Mexicans and Indians when they came over here and conquered the land
The other nations children of the flesh AKA children of the devil Esau is his name and others too
@Wisdom of Solomon already you Right I think I said the same thing
Mexican mix label was made by White colonials to make you forget your native american roots
@Wisdom of Solomon shalom!! Spreading the truth out here! All praises to TMH
I love the look in your face! You look so proud 🥹 I’m Mexican leaving in California and I didn’t know about the history on Mexican black decedents in my own country 😅 thank you❤ I’m now going to try to visit that part of Mexico 🇲🇽
I am so happy TH-cam recommended this video to me. As history buff, I really enjoyed watching the story of the Afro Mexicanos. We are everywhere!
Black is universal 😊
No such thing keep dreaming 🤣
@@missshannon9790 It's beautiful, we are all family 🫀🪶🙏📿
I’m a proud daughter of a Afro Mexican mother. ❤️❤️❤️
Glad your proud. Do you have a problem with white pride?
@@TroijanSkinhead out of curiosity, why would it be a problem or why you would assume it would be a problem with her?
@@luper1103 because when folks see white pride it’s seen as a bad thing, even when they say things that would indicate that they are proud to not be of white race. It’s hypocrisy, so I’m guessing the commenter was curious.
@@TroijanSkinhead rember nazis?
@@africaine4889 You know there were black Natzis too right? 😂 Do a simple Google search
You are right, I am Mexican and I did not know this beautiful island of Afro-descendants
They have a city in Mexico on the Eastern coast of Mexico I believe it's the eastern coast but it's all black Mexicans I believe it was close to a half a million black people in that town they have a video on TH-cam about it I believe it's called the African city in Mexico.
Like you said the first or second president of Mexico was black and the Mexicans loved him so much that they chose him over people from Spain because they're not originally from there their from Spain which is more of a European country but Spain was also where the Moors conquered thousands of years ago and so there's lots of black people in Spain too but people in the Americas are naturally brown skin here because Africans have been coming here forever that's why you see that they had the big Stone heads of black leaders that controlled North & South America thousands of years ago that's who brought the pyramids here from Africa and everywhere else in the world where they have pyramids learned from Egypt which is in Africa
They are native not from Africa
@@marcusholbert2525they will never admit we were already on these lands. The ancient art shows this. But they still lying about it

Colonial borders do not belong on our Native continent
You all come from Africa that is the truth Mexicans are part of the 12 missing Israelites, God sent us to America and South America as a holding land till he gathers us all at the end of the age and brings us back to the Mother land Alkebulan. The end of the age has come this world is ending very soon like the next 5 years and the new one which is eternal will begin. We will be given back our inheritance, the Earth. We all need to be cleansed first by being born again as the word of God has instructed us to do so because of the influence of other gods and religions that is not ours. We worshiped Elohim or El the great I AM.
There is NO such thing as “ Mexican American “ ALL Mexicans with no exception are Americans since Mexico has Always been part of the North American Continent.. That “ Mexican American “ thing is something made up by the USA to label people. !
I'm literally a Black Mexican :D
@@YourXellency your still Mexican whether you like it your not
As a dark skinned Mexican American this makes me feel so much better, my parents are from Mexico I was born in California, my parents are not as dark skinned but my grandmother was very dark skinned, I know me and my daughter carry her genes, not even my own mother as much, now this makes so much sense. I experienced being treated different because if how dark I am, this helps my heart. I love knowing the real history of were my genes come from
That might mean you either are native dark complexion doesn’t equate to African ancestry, my family is dark but most of my ancestry is native and they are really dark
I love when people get in touch with their identities.
I’m half Dominican and KNOW there is African in me, however that cultures loves to ignore it.
@@TonyMoze it’s sad because you can see the culture. Shoot I’m not from a high African influenced place but we still have African hood that became a part of our gastronomy.
@@TonyMoze but sadly brotehr that the effect of colonization. My family is mainly native and beside it being on their face, culture and shoot even our region they never speak much about it. A lot of our natives were hunted and if you looked or were suspected you were killed
@@roblogs7168 pretty sad. But heck at least we are open minded 😎
It's the 4th of July and I'm enjoying this. I love the fact your educating others and taking us along for your travels.
I got so excited watching the video and got transmitted the excitement of the guys doing the video 😊. I am so happy Mexico is very diverse and has lots of culture and history. Thank you for showing this.
That was so enlightening. I appreciated that the Afro-Mexicans were proud of their history. Moreover, the murals were beautiful and the food looked yummy. Thank you!
mexico just started to count afros in their cencus as of maybe several years ago and if u read up on the subject it is not nice nor have as a group of people received good treament thats the truth of the matter
777 Morgan yeah I noticed there was a little hesitancy in younger ppl
What is these yerm Afro Mexican?
Really think about it. Is this acceptable? Carbon colored people are the children of the soil. Where there's soil you will find people who are light skinned-- meaning their skin is in alignment with our greatest light source...call them what the sun would call them-- the organic ones.
@@777morgan3 yeah aight…
I'm an African from South Africa 🇿🇦what I've noticed about the Mexican is their culture and food it's the same as ours as Africa continent.We are the same just different tribes.We love you Mexican be proud with your roots
No we are not the same
@@aboriginalsmountup2019 of course we're not the same, nobody is... But we share similarities and there's nothing wrong with that .. Unfortunately, the insecurities of some has them thinking if they acknowledge the most remote similarities, it somehow means they must bow down or something. It's not true ..
@@aboriginalsmountup2019 u know what he meant so your comment is worthless
Mexico is native origin to many of the crops we use now. So no it has no relations to south Africa
"No, I'm a black man also but I disagree; we're not the same; and that's the problem with South Africans; they're, confused "; our hair is, different, they're copper colored, they have, long, coarse hair, they're, short, flat faces, take a look in the mirror man.
I'm Antiguan and the first time I ever saw Black Mexicans was on an episode of Judge Judy. Thanks to TH-cam I see them now trying to make their presence known.
I am african american and I've never felt more at home, than in Mexico. People there actually treat you as a human being.
facts! Many of them speak english too.
You are not African Americans you are Americans you never lived in Africa you don't have dual citizenship
THEN MOVE TO MEXICO ,
IM SURE ITS A NICE PLACE / WITH ALL THE MEXICANS RUNNING AWAY FROM IT / TO SNEAK IN TO AMERICA / IM SURE THERE IS ROOM FOR YOU THERE .🙂
@@bolofourth2679 stop being a hater how can you tell someone that they are not African Americans and then tell them they're not from Africa I've been asking a question like you really know them you ask them if they have a dual passport your statement is inadequate useless just pick up space you just wanted to be known in this world so you placed an ignorant comment is really sad to know that people out here like you really exist taking up oxygen from others that really need it truth is funny ignorance is saddening if you unhappy with your life try not to share it with others unless you can make a difference in your own

As a Mexican Native American of Mexico I know my ancestors are and were black like my uncles, my mother, and grandparents. Mexico as of currently is everything blacks as always, brown, white people and red people. 😊❤I love my roots and I love to see my people happy as well. Los amo mi gente sean felices y libres y todos estamos creando un Mexico mejor, un continente mejor.💚🪴🪶🦅
Growing up, I had no idea that there were black Mexicans that had been there for almost as long as the indigenous Mexicans. I was so confused when my mom told me about a black priestess healing me in Mexico after multiple doctors said there was no hope and had discharged me from the hospital to die at home. My mom told me that a black lady saved me and I asked her where she had came from, my mom said she didn't know. Looking back, her ancestors had probably been in Mexico even long before my great great grandparents arrived from Spain, making her more Mexican than myself. African people are amazing. I wish people would stop making skin color the definition of humanity.
I've also heard stories as well similar to what you are saying
@@ACEDTVL it's quite beautiful that the African people kept their magic despite all the suffering they have gone through and are still going through. They don't discriminate, they use their knowledge to heal black, white and all other skin tones, because for them it's just another human in need of help. Will keep watching your videos, thank you.

The first time I found out about Afro Mexicans was traveling the coast in Guerrero, we came into some villages that were all afromexican, it was very surprising, the town even had a mural of Rosa Parks.
@Joyce Williams 😄😄😄 That's pretty ignorant. Yes, there are "dark Mexicans"...many even of Afro heritage, so yes, some Mexicans do have Afros.
@Joyce Williams There are white Mexicans too...and they aren't indigenous to Mexico 😉
@Joyce Williams lol... sure.
@Joyce Williams wtf ??? there are many people with negro charactoristics not from africa !!!
There the minority of Mexico
In Mexico we don't talk about race, you are who you are, and you are Mexican, we even joke among ourselves, without malice, not like the racism and discrimination that I discovered when immigrating to the United States,
That is bullshi*. Research shows that there is racism against dark skinned Mexicans.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Knowledge is power.
Bless you
I am Mexican Haitian American. I am so glad that finally this history is being told. Thank you.
I’m an immigrant from Mexico, and was brought over to the U.S. as a child. I have seen much racism from my older generation family and I am always teaching them that stereotypes are toxic and diversity is beautiful. They deny it being racism, and consider it an opinion. I take every chance to speak up and talk with my family members. Colorism in Mexico is very real
I absolutely LOVE the diversity in Mexico and I have always used my privilege, being a lighter skin tone to advocate for my darker skinned brothers and sisters

🙏🙏😊yeah me too
Honestly I never understood why people call themselves Mexican American :/ I just say I'm Latino cuz I already know my Mexican side of the family is going to say I'm American which is true I guess.
@@Griffith307 Not everyone identifies as Latino and not everyone that comes from Mexican descent is Latino. Some are indigenous and some are black therefore the term Latin doesn’t apply to them. Me personally I never call myself Latino it sounds dumb
@@daniellozada3408 Latino means you or your family are from Latin America, its not the same as black or native or white, all three can be latino
Every mexican is latino just like every mexican is American because latin is the geographic area not a race or ethnicity
@@Griffith307 there is a big disconnect that we have to our parents culture, many things have been brought over to the states but we aren't taught about the history or culture
We are everywhere! Much love from Okinawa Japan. You gained a subscriber.
Thank you my brotha! Thank you for giving us this informative video.👏👏👏✌️
Mexico tiene de Todos colores y todos somos Mexicanos, que bendicion! :)
We're all black.
@@StayPositiveLLC Damn, even white people?
@@dl8571 Yes, just because they're a lighter shade of black doesn't mean they're a different species- their skin has less of what it takes to make it dark.
@@StayPositiveLLC Does that mean slavery was black on black crime?
@@StayPositiveLLC Also, black is not a species, it's a skin color.

Love from Kenya, Africa.
Thanks a lot for doing this great honour of highlighting our brothers and sisters hidden from the mainstream world.
Thank you so much for showing this! My grandmother was a black Mexican and my dad was a half black Mexican who served in the Mexican armed forces. I remember telling a friend from Veracruz all about the Afro-Mexicans there and he didn't even know! I'm showing this to everyone that looks at me like I'm crazy when I talk about Afro-Mexicans.
Do you Spaniards conquer Mexico that's why you guys speak Spanish and the British was the ones that put blacks in America into slavery that's why they speak English however we are the same people we are part of the 12 tribes of Israel we all are of negroid descent and we are the same people came from West Africa from the Spaniards and the British and the French and put us all into slavery Read Deuteronomy 28 verse 1 through 68 and see if you connect with that
LIFE STARTED IN THE AMERICAS!
That's nice we have to educate the ones that want to be educated beautiful ❤
i have noticed some mexicans are really racist againts black people LOL they get MAD when a pale straight haired mexican girl dates us

🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
So is every other race lol
Yes
Well yeah! They stole you from West Africa.
This was absolutely beautiful ❤️
You're such a vibe, Ace! Continue to explore and learn. The way you immerse yourself in various cultures and desire to really understand them is so beautiful and an amazing quality I wish the world could adopt.
I’m Mexican American and when I get my blood work done it shows African markers
even whites have some afro markers we are all earthlings
of course. Listen even in Europe in Southern Europe most people are 2,3,4,5 percent black. We have been traveling and hunting for thousands of years.
We're all one family
But it doesn’t mean you’re one of us lol we arent allowed to claim we are native american even if we have like 20% so nobody can claim to be us either
@@arnyarny77 You mean 'from the mother land'
I'm so glad my black brothers are getting out there checking things out for yourself traveling is the best thing we every had.
Black people around the world including the afro Mexicans don't like blacks from the U.S
Thanks for sharing this video!! Very insightful and educational. I look forward to watching more of your videos. This video intrigued me because my family are Garifuna. The black indigenous in Honduras.
This is amazing. Americans don’t even take this much pride in the black heritage as a black man myself I am definitely moving to Mexico I always knew there was a heavy presence of black where ever you go just have to do the research
😂😂😂To funny you
This was an eye opener
Brother. I'm from Mexico City and watching your video, I felt the human love all around, great video 👍
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK EFFORT AND INSIGHT
This was such a DOPE video. We're everywhere in the world...and I love to see it!
Wow its so nice to see you bringing their perspective to life. I am Mexican/ Puerto Rican born and raised in the US but my husband is black as well as my kids. So I always want my kids to feel close to their culture on all sides. We come in all shades/ colors/ sizes and I love to see that celebrated.
My family is the inverse haha. I am black American and my husband is Mexican/Cuban American. We are having a son and it's nice to be able to show how closely related our cultures are.
My Mom from Acapulco Guerrero,Mexico and I have AfroMexicans Cousins ,on the pacific coast there’s a lot of afromexicans ,beautiful mix natives
Yup same goes for me and my family
Great educational video. Great job ACE!
Great info! Thanks for sharing
Excellent production! I love this documentary about Afro-Mexican.
I cried when he finally found the afro-Mexican woman and embraced her 😭🤗
Me too lol
Cried bruh really? You guys should be crying that native americans are still alive in mexico after the hundreds of wars and death and sickness killed many off
I thought I was the only one
@@ramhtp which reply you talking too lol?
@@williammoreno5646 if he replied to yours that’s hilarious 😂
Amazing story man! I'm really impressed!
Thanks for the content, Ace. Very well presented and engaging.
My parents are both from Mexico and I have traced on my father's side back to the early 1700s to the same town my parents were born. My dad in the 70s looked black. He had the curly hair, wide nose and big lips. He's not as dark but i feel somewhere along the way there had to be some mixture. My sister is asked if she's mixed but she just says she's Mexican. But she has the beautiful big lips with a dark tone skin.
I learned about this about 10 years ago, Mexicans we come in different color and sizes, Mexican helped blacks with the Mexican Underground Railroad. Glade you guys are now learning about this. ✊🏽✊🏿💯🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Great and educational video. Thanks so much for much !!🧗🏿♀️👍👍
Ace...We Love You. Thank you for your work.
