   well i know a lot of people that are latinos that have married black men or women and have had mixed kids and they accepted them . but i won't dissagree with you that there are some familys that wouldn;'t . mexicans sometimes won't except when some one marrys a person that is darker and has indigiinous features now how ignorant is that if we are an indiginous people . like i say it's ignorance and a colonial mind set made up by a white power structure . stay up bro and thanks for the support

   cornroll lol have you ever really stoped and notice that many mexicans and latinos from south or central america wear conrolls and other black hair styles . because many of us have kinky hair because of the african blood many of us have . like i said in the video i have an uncle that his hair is so kinky it actually grows in to a natural afro lol think about it … ps my hair is so nappy i have to use black hair products to comb it back lol it's the only stuff out there strong enough …

   Alot of ppl dont know about Black ppl role in the bible as well, check Act 13:1, also there were black popes, name Pope Gelasius 1,Pope Miltiades,Pope Victor 1, there are also black saints such as St. Augustine who was of berber descends, Saint Antonio Verira was of African descend, and Saint Benedict the moor just to name a few,. Also the word Niger is in the bible. We need to educated ourselves Lord knows the school system wont, Education will bring ppl closer.

   Yeah, it seems to happen in the West Coast only. It's because of the Prision-Nationality culture. Every race had a gang. It was once like that here in the East but it died out a bit.

   @FetodeOrca i agree look at Colombia it also has a very large African population . but try telling that to people in US . most of my African American freinds find it so hard to belive that there are African decended people like them in Latin America . i guess it's because of the lack of history .

    Agreed I think schools should have a seperate (optional) class for minorities in all middle or high schools. All we learn about is how the white man did this and that wether it be good or evil. They tell us very little about our history and even if they are showing us how europeans did bad things to us, it also shows our cultures being conquered. I read once that school history conditions us to feel lower then whites subconciously. Its a scotoma most minorities have.

    I don't understand when you say " African and indigenous blood" from my research I understand that the pyramids and giant stone heads were created by "Negroids." you are describing the same people they are NOT different. Everyone knows that the "Africans" created every other known race or nationality on the planet. Please don't confuse our people and have them to believe that Africans were only in Mexico b/c of slavery…THAT'S THE BIGGEST LIE EVER TOLD, and its whats keeping us divided…

    I visited Mexico back in the 70's & I brought my light skin and dark skin nieces with me. In America, it is my light skin niece that receives all the attention. But in Mexico, it was my darker skin niece that was considered the most beautiful of the two. Wherever I went among the indigenous, only my dark skin niece rec'ved compliments. She looks just like a dark skin Mexican/Indian, hair and all. This is when I became aware of blk Mexicans.

    The Moors of Shem Hebrew Israelite Race, have been coming to and fro from the so called Americas for thousands of years, yet this information is hid from the masses of the spanish caucasian populations, and those indian caucasian spanish babies who assumed the identities of the original moor or negro Aztecs, Olmecs, Texacoco, Toltec Clans of the Israelite Race.

    Indian is a misnomer for asian caucasian grafted or mutt, who learned much from the original Negro Olmecs, Toltecs, and Aztecs of Mexico. The first of the caucasian tribes to arrive to the Americas were the Asian Caucasians, their spanish – italian caucasian brothers came much later in the 1500s, bringing more destruction on like ever seen or felt.

    Oakland latinosunited, thank you so much for bringing attention to this subject and sharing with all of us here. As a Mexican-born, raised in Chicago (now US citizen) but lived for a few years in Guanajuato, I can tell you that I have personally experienced and witnessed racism. I clearly remember my first two best friends while in elementary school were both "black Mexicans". At the time, their skin color and features which were clearly very different from mine: very dark skin color, kinky hair and African features. My physical features are more European: light skin, light brown, straight hair (from my mother's Spanish & German side). That fact was irrelevant to me, for all I cared about was that they were nice to me, and we had so much fun (getting in trouble) together. I was the bad influence on them, I confess. LOL
    It wasn't until many years later, after I had gone back to live in Chicago that I realized they were actually "black" and of African decent! Perhaps my innocent 6yr old mind, had all but ignored, or failed to really notice that, because I had yet to truly learn what racism was. Specifically towards the black race as a whole, and towards "African Americans" here in the US. Such a shameful, ugly emotion, rife with fear, hate and plain ignorance. 
    I have had many black friends throughout my life. Simply, because I saw beyond their skin color and paid attention to their personality and character instead (as I do with anyone else). I remember telling some of them about the fact that there were black people also living in Mexico. Most were surprised. Some, didn't want to believe me at first. I felt it was necessary for the latter, to educate themselves about that part of history and I sent links, images and facts I found online so they could see for themselves. I think African history and culture is very rich, deep and interesting. African music and dance for example, has influenced many genres of our current music, and countless artists/musicians of our time.

    Although any African ancestry in my own family has pretty much been "bred out" and often denied by family members, for some reason I have always felt a strange connection to African culture. Especially music and dance. Viva los Moros!
