African History
Afro Mexicans
This video is about the African presence in Mexico. It includes a brief history of Afro Mexicans and famous Afro Mexicans. It is in English and Spanish.
The term Afro Mexican is referring to someone of African and Mexican origins. Of course, African descendants have other roots and lineages too.
All comments that I find offensive, racist, stereotypical and negative will not be approved. Please be respectful.
It should be noted that many persons of African descent in “Latin” America and the Caribbean do not refer to themselves as, “Afro + nationality” but either as “negros”, “afrodescendiente” or by their nationality.

Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.

@Maxantium The US out of racism wanting to prevent from contaminating their DNA from Blacks decided to brand anyone who had the slightest mixture of Black as Black on their birth certificates. Mexican birth certificates do not denote the persons race, only the place of birth of the child and the country of birth of the parents, the child then becomes Mexican if born in Mexico even if the parents were born in Haiti or Lebanon. The US reality is not the Mexican reality according to census.

@Priceless2124 You can say that when the Black people you are referring to are actually 100% African; otherwise, they are of MIXED race and culture. Maybe that's why they–Blacks–haven't gotten credit.

@EricVZLeon
December 2, 2011 at 8:15 am
@LAClippersfan2 no the hate didn't come from the North it came from us Spaniards that created the Mestizo race and are ancestors the the White Mexican who would later Mexico they were our children so they too have the superiority mentality and the conquistador spirit. ARRIBA MEXICO

You people have imitated White Americans in hate. It's amazing how White Americans pride them selves in talking ill, spread hate, and poisonous language. Actually White Europeans are not bigoted as those of United States, I just don't understand why Americans have so much hates in their hearts. Is it really benefical to hate than celebrate the diversity?

The main thing to me is all humans are genetically proven to have originated in Black Africa! That negates all other % quoted. Meaning we are all one species. A bed of roses showing different colored ones doesn't detract from the fact they they are all roses.Whites have grossly screwed the whole planet up through lies/greed /arrogances and take over of damn near the whole planet's economy . It's amazing how blacks were worshipped as evidenced through the over 400 Black Madonnas !

@teresaguerrasalazar 2/3 of the population I dont think so? I believe in a fraction of a percent yes, but not two thirds!, were im from there is no one with any kind of afro ancestry, the majority are Spanish, German and some French and allot of the families here benn here for over 400 to 200 years of ancestry, and by no way did any of them got mix with afro, native yes, and when you say 2/3 thats more than half, its 1 percent of the populatoin maby even less than that.

In Mexico we are all mexicans whether your parents came from China, Timbuktu, Madagascar so we don´t made those distictions however truly dark skin color is often confused with inmigrants except in the states with a higher admixture like Veracruz and Guerrero.

@elmajico361 Your statistics are not correct. The African population is not categorized or counted in the Mexican census. The exact number is not known. The Black Mexico Society is trying to get a census count. According to documented research, about 500,000 Africans came to Mexico during colonial times, outnumbering Europeans. This is history. Nothing more.

Excuse me idiot! I am am African -American man. I am also a well educated man who just happens to know Mexican history. The fact that lighter-skinned Mexicans won't acknowledge having African ancestry is BS. Where shall I begin, I'll start with Spain. Spain was occupied by black west-African MOORS. They held Spain for 900yrs. You think the Spanish pop at that time wasn't intermingled with black-blood? That's why the Spaniards have a darker skin tone than their white counterparts in Europe.

On my many travels to Africa, mainly Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal, I noticed that the native music in these West African countries are very similar to Mexican music…now thanks for verifying the origins of why Mexican music sounds just like West African music. Now, I know I was right to compare Mexican music to West African music.

Three Afro-Mexican actors that weren't included in this video were Christian Stanley, Rudy Casanova, and Jorge Zamora aka "Zamorita." All three actors have acted in telenovelas or comedy shows from Televisa(Mexico's main TV network/production company). And two other actors who are non Mexican Afro-Latinos that have acted in Mexico that I feel should've had an honorable mention in this video were the late Rene Munoz(Cuba) and Edgardo Eliezer(Panama).
