Actually, I have seen people of african roots all over Mexico even in Jalisco. Mexicanos, we are a mixture of all 3 races, somos una mezcla excepcional.

As an African-American, I truly appreciate the time and effort contributed in your documentary.

It's a shame that people would rather identify with their conqueror oppressor than to identify with the original peoples and victims. That Willie Lynch braid washing was so intrenched that it was passed down from generation.

Very interesting your video… Funny thing…. My maternal grandmother was always ashamed and hiding she had a black grandfather…. my father indeed has very strong physical characteristiques but his hair is soft…. then my father married my mother who was from Michoacan and seems she had french and english roots and very fair skin… Im the darker in my family…

I married a white tall blue eyes french man with strong english and nordic roots… but my last kid (I had 3) its amazing, my grandmother couldnt deny anymore our african roots, my son is a beautiful dark skinned curly hair with blue eyes and a body only black kids can have

Colombia also might be the fourth they have a pretty Large Black Population to especially the Carribean and Pacific coast. especially a area called Choco look it up it's Africa in South America. theres a cool Afro Colombian Rap group from Choco called Chocquibtown they play nice music.

MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS @Oakland LatinosUnited for this great documentary! When
I traveled in Mexico I noticed also the Afro-indigenous mixture in many Mexicanos. Thanks for getting all this information out! Most of us African-americans–like most Americans–don't get informed about the incredible African contribution to ALL the
Americas. The trans-atlantic slave trade was to ALL the Americas and the Caribbean.
Again, MUCHISMIMAS GRACIAS por todo la informacion! 🙂
