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.

It is estimated that about 3 percent of the Mexican population is of partial African ancestry (Coniff and Davis 1994, 272).very small .so before you people go around saying that all mexicans have black in them educate your self.so stop trying todenigrate other peoples race to try to make yourself and your race superior.

@elmajico361 I am not insinuating that the Afrikan race superior. I am celebrating the Afrikan aspect of so-called Mexican culture. So before you make such a senseless and disrespectful comment, you need to think twice. And before you Mexicans go around being oblivious to the Afrikan aspect in your culture, you need to read your history. If you find such video offensive, don't watch it. In fact, I do not know what compelled you to come here besides to spread your negative energy. Be gone!

Ok now lets look at the facts. 500,000 thousands AFricans. No less Mexico was the first Latin American country to abolish Slavery in Latin America. The ship manifests found by Beltran account for at least 250,000 African slaves, and this does not include probably doctored manifests after the international slave trade had been outlawed on the high seas.

At most 300,000 thousand out of 11.5 million Africans which was probably one of the smallest total out of all the Latin American countries

@unique5589 Most Mexicans aren't taught this in their history they only know of Cortez and the Spanish.

[CINTERPOL]

In mexico there are no african mexicans no anglo mexicans no HISPANICS lol we are all mexicans and brothers. hint hint white people are the only ones who like distinction

@TheStarGardian Who knows one claimed to have found Chinese glyphs on the olmec tombs and ther relics show african like features it really points toward a former comercial relation. Moctezuma was 100% nahuatl. no moorish or black there.

[Kazanjar]

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.
