Anti-blackness is not a natural phenomenon but a deliberate system created to justify colonization and slavery, which has been perpetuated through cultural indoctrination, media representation, and systemic oppression, causing minority groups to internalize negative beliefs about themselves and each other.

Latino Immigrant Regrets Saying This After Backlashes From EverywhereAdded:
Okay, so I've been seeing a lot of messed up racist posts talking about nobody wants to raise a black baby. That Mexicans don't want to raise a black baby, whites, blacks, blacks again, that they don't want to raise a black baby. But I'm going to have to disagree for me personally because I definitely would adopt a little black baby. [music] Who wouldn't want to have their own personal slave at home?
Just kidding. But also that's the best chances that I have at somebody close to me becoming a pro black baby. If by the age of 10 I notice that he sucks at sports, he's annoying, and he be stealing and doing all that stuff, then I'm just going to send his ass back and try again, you know, hopefully the next one's good. Oh, one thing y'all are going to do is argue with me in the comments. And I want to preface this video by saying I am multiracial, right?
And sometimes it's important to highlight that for context because although I do believe in and identify with the one drop rule, I am lighter than a Manila folder and I have passing and privilege and experiences afforded to me that not everybody has, right? Now that that's out the way, the main comment that I got yesterday on my Cinco de Mayo video was from black people saying if that's the case then why do Mexican people hate us so much, right? And it's because of racism. It's colorism. It is anti-blackness. It's colonization. That's the reason, racism.
And this on a global scale. Like there's a lot of books by psychologists and historians that analyze the psychological engineering and the systemic dehumanization used to construct global anti-blackness.
And the entire non-black world has this unconscious bias that is scientifically baked into human perception. And nobody but black people seem to notice it, right? Especially if you're black and you travel, then you've probably felt unwelcomed in a lot of places. You've probably felt the prejudices everywhere you go except the motherland.
intentional. And it's insidious. Concept of blackness is inferior or evil or whatever, it was not by accident. It was by design. Anti-blackness was created to justify colonization and slavery. Most of us do not realize that the dehumanization of black people was actually foundational to the establishment of the modern world.
This is across place and and time, various regions and different eras. A couple of y'all were in the comments talking about you're not black, you're brown. And in a vacuum, yes, that makes sense, right? Anybody that is non-white is on some spectrum of brownness, but we do not exist in a vacuum. And we say black and brown people to highlight distinctions amongst the histories, the challenges, the struggles, the triumphs that are unique to the black experience.
And saying only brown people to talk about everybody who is non-white would erase the distinct visibility and historical specificity of the black experience. Besides, race is just a construct, right? It's not biological. And any classification system that we use to determine race is arbitrary. It depends on whatever you want it to be dependent on, where where you are, what you are culturally. We're not referring to the actual color black.
We're referring to culture, ethnicity, community, not racial categorization.
But the black community in America specifically has endured particular systems of oppression. And just saying brown people referring to all non-white people would obscure and like dilute that experience. So, cuz there's no hard fast rules on race, the the system is fluid. And you can call yourself whatever you want, right? You can identify however you want to identify, and I will respect that. But both perspectives can coexist. Two things can be true at once. And I stand by how important it is, especially when we're talking about history, to distinguish between black and brown people. It's not a racism, bro. Even even for us in in like Mexicans, there's Mexicans that can't stand black people.
They can't stand them. I myself have no problem with color skin. Like I've I've I've I've kicked it with with with homeboys that are black and um I've actually I remember when I was younger sometimes I was hungry, you know, we we didn't have anything to eat and we would I was I had a friend um can't remember his name, but uh me and him like he was homeless as well.
A black kid from uh Grape Street. It's a gang. It's called Grape Street. Uh we would go into a Walmart and we would just fill up our stuff and he's like you you you're going to be the decoy. You're going to run out and they're going to chase. There's a lot of racism, bro, even even for us and in there's Mexicans that can't stand uh black people.
They can't stand them. I myself have no problem with color skin. Like I I've I've I've kicked it with with with homeboys that are black and um I've actually I remember when I was younger sometimes I was hungry, you know, we we didn't have anything to eat and we would I was I had a friend um can't remember his name, but uh Can you hear the remark that guy spoke about black people? He's a Mexican, actually.
And for me, it is really really disgusting, unbelievable.
That Oh my.
They can get a black kid.
Can adopt one.
But if the baby or the child is not good in sport he's going to do without it, get another one. So, the reason why he's getting a black child is because Oh my.
I can't even say it. I can't say what he said.
What is the problem with Mexican not liking black?
And they have black in their country.
And those black in their country are also suffering the same thing.
What is it about black that Mexican do not like?
Anyway, guys, welcome to my channel.
Thank you for tuning in.
I have a lot of video, you know, compiled for you guys about what Mexicans are saying, their views, their perception. And there's this particular guy, Ricardo.
He's one of the most learned Mexican I've come across on social media, and he's always saying the truth the way it is. Let's listen to the guy. When I come back, I have a lot to say, but when I come back, I will say it. Please do me a favor, watch every video till the end because you will hear a lot of perceptions that you won't believe.
A lot of things that you wouldn't believe that they exist, and they truly do exist.

I'll be right back.
A lot of people don't understand when I say that Mexicans are culturally racist.
They think that I'm calling us openly racist.
We are [clears throat] culturally racist, and this is how.
Part of our culture is to frown upon dark-skinned people.
It's been It's been passed down to us by the Spaniards, by our colonizers, but our people that conquered us, taught us that dark skin is inferior, light skin is superior.
We were taught that. It was passed down to us, meaning it's part of our culture.
We are culturally racist in this aspect.
That doesn't mean I go out in the streets and want to hurt black people cuz they're black. Right. Right.
>> It means that our teachings, the way we're raised, is that we are raised to subconsciously believe that dark skin is inferior and light skin is superior. Another element in our Mexican culture is Univision news, Univision channel. That channel is run by white Latinos. The ideologies and subliminal teachings that they teach is very similar to Fox News.
White supremacist-ish. They make efforts to depict dark-skinned people as criminals. That they even bother sharing news about dark-skinned people is when they do something wrong. But yet, when they want to mention anything that has to do with light-skinned people, specifically white people, is to depict them as them doing good deeds around the world, feeding the homeless, etc. You get it.
My grandmother was visiting one day from Mexico.
She's never lived in the United States.
She has no idea what life is out here.
She was watching Univision news, where they depicted a black American committing a crime. She turned around and said, "Oye, estos negros solo estorban, verdad?" Hey, these black folks, all they do is get in the way, huh? Here's the interesting part. She's never met a black person in her life.
She has no idea what it's like to interact with a black person, but yet, she already has an opinion about black people as a whole. Why?
Because part of our culture, in this particular case, Univision news, since we were children, we have been subliminally taught that blacks are bad, criminals, etc. And white are good, decent, giving, saviors, etc. We're taught that. Hearing her express such a hateful remark about a people that I knew for a fact she's never even interacted with. You don't even know a black person.
How dare you come here to this country and have a whole opinion about these people? I I resented her deeply for it. I regret it because you can't hate her for that. She never got the opportunity to learn to learn what you have. I got the privilege of learning things that I did self-taught. Since she's been a child, she's been working in the fields. Never had the opportunity to sit and read a book to educate nothing.
All she ever has to teach her anything was this racist, biased news program.
How could I blame her? She doesn't even know any better. And even if I sat with her today, I don't even think I could help her understand at this point because she has lived 80 years worth of only understanding this mentality.
A lot of people go to their graves thinking this is normal.
It's true.
Black people will be discriminated against in a Latin American country. If you're leaving America to get away from discrimination and you're moving to a Latin American country thinking that you're not going to be discriminated against, you're wrong. I've been hearing a lot about people that have moved to Mexico and are complaining that they're being discriminated against in Mexico. Let me tell you something.
Mexico discriminates against their own Mexican people that are darker shade than the rest of them.
>> [clears throat] >> In Mexico, there's a lot of states that have very fair skin and blue eyes people.
The people that have indigenous features, the very dark skin, the black hair, are discriminated against.
So, you coming to live to Mexico and think that you're not going to be discriminated against is a fallacy. This is not just in Mexico.
It happens everywhere in Latin America.
Black people are discriminated against.
In Honduras, there's an entire community of Garifunas.
And Garifunas have been in Honduras for hundreds of years.
And to this day, they discriminate against them.
They remove their land. Some of them even get murdered.
It's a battle Garifunas have gone through for decades with Honduras because Honduras to this day does not recognize Garifunas as part of being part of Honduras.
And so, I grew up looking at Garifunas as if they were subculture, subhuman.
I'm telling you, you think that you're leaving the US and moving to uh a Latin American country to to escape racism, you're not escaping racism.
And you you need to understand that that's just the way things are.
And um it's very acceptable. Some of you who are coming on Tik Tok complaining that they're in Mexico and that they are embracing the Mexican culture and why are they being discriminated against, that is why.
Mexico people discriminate against their own.
Why do you think it's going to happen when you're there?
In fact, in Mexico, if you don't have light skin and blue eyes, first of all, look at the telenovelas.
You tell me, what do you see in telenovelas? You're only going to see beautiful people with light skin and blue eyes.
You're going to see some some indigenous people. The vast majority of the roles they give the indigenous uh actors is of the maid.
It's of you know, it's never the pretty woman.
Yeah.
How many actors do you know in Mexico that are in a telenovela and they happen to be black?
Just look at the telenovelas and you tell me how many how many indigenous uh actors and actresses you're going to see in those telenovelas.
It's the It's the reality in Mexico and you need to understand that.
You're not escaping racism by moving to a Latin American country. It's cuz black people, y'all cry too much. Y'all complain too much. You're victims.
Here's the thing, that crying, that complaining is what caused black people to fight. If it weren't for black people put in prison for fighting and getting merked a lot of times, if it weren't for that, a lot of minorities in this country wouldn't have the systemic opportunities that we do today. The irony that I see when I see Mexicans or Mexican-Americans tell black people that y'all cry too much, y'all complain, y'all are just victims, but it is that crying and that complaining what caused y'all to fight for all of us, for all of us. Literally, we Mexican, and I speak for myself, we're so prideful that we choose to be quiet a lot of times as we're being systemically mistreated and we face systemic inequalities, and due to that is why we, as Mexican people, are so so behind. We're so behind and we get mistreated so much in this country because we don't complain. We don't cry.
We are just bullied around, being pushed around by everybody as opposed to black people who said, "Nah, we're going to fight." And that sacrifice while fighting has enabled all minorities. Not just Mexicans, Asians, Indians, everybody in this country benefits from the civil rights movements that was fought by black people. So, my personal opinion in regards to black people always complaining, black people always crying, we need to stop identifying that as crying and then complaining and really call it, "We're tired of systemic inequality, systemic oppression, and we are going to finally stand up and change things." That is what a lot of Mexican people can't see. We call that crying, but the reality is that the reason why we are in the conditions that we are is because we don't cry enough.
When we think of black people, we think of stereotypes. You know, they're loud and things of that nature, right? I did a video that went viral that's called racist Mexicans. And more or less what I described there was that when I first arrived to this country from Mexico, I was warned about black people and be careful with them, you know, they're problematic, they're going to get you into trouble, they're violent, and things of that nature. All the negative things that are attached to the stereotypes. What I also said in that video was when I was settling in this country and moving into a black neighborhood, the first thing that I noticed was that black people were embracing me more than my own people.
So, as I was getting together with black people and felt so welcome, I began to question the stereotypes and what I was warned about. And so, for many years of my life, I would always say, "Nah, black people, you know, they're good. Whatever you guys are saying it's not true because they welcomed me. They always received me with open arms." But you see, I've been wrong enchanting that song. In a way, it's actually been damaging because what if black people never welcomed me? Would that prove then the stereotypes right? You see, the interesting part here is that by default, black people are the bad guy.
White people are the good guys. Why when I came to this country I was warned about black people but not white people?
When history has taught us that white people came from Europe and pretty much destroyed us as much as possible and have been colonized, ethnically cleansed, and pretty much stripped from our languages and everything we are by white people. You would think, based on history, based on our current systemic efforts, you would think that arriving to this country would be warned about white people. Hey, be careful. They pass racist laws. You get pulled over for your complexion. Things of that nature.
But no. So, the real question is, what seems to be the problem? A good example of that is as I'm walking on the street and I see a black or a brown man coming my way, our reaction collectively is, "What the f you looking at?" But then when a white man is coming our way, we move to the side and say, "Excuse me, sir." So, we are looking at ourselves, at each other with the eyes of the people that have colonized us. You said that black people are tend to be naturally more welcoming, more accepting, and it's true. I agree. I grew up in black neighborhood, so it allowed me to discover that. But see, that's also problematic because what if I never grew up in black neighborhoods?
Why do black people have to in a way prove their humanity? Have to convince us of their humanity, but white people never have to. So, if I grew up, let's just say in a Mexican neighborhood only.
So, from a distance, I'm thinking, "Oh, I ain't trying to go to that black neighborhood cuz black folks are violent." But it's okay if I go to that white neighborhood cuz white people are not violent. So, you see, by default, white folks get their humanity. Black people do not. So, you said something very important, too. Who's been controlling the macro media and who still controls it? What is the standard of beauty? The white standard of beauty.
So, everything that is white has been right. We are so behind, so many, many decades behind in regards to who's been controlling the macro media, the mass media. Whoever has been has been controlling how we see the world, the images and the messages, subliminal messages, but also, one of the best things you said that I completely agree and it plays a biggest part is the victor gets to write our history. And so, we've been depicted as the bad guy.
And the conqueror, the colonizer, the slaver has depicted himself as the good guy. And unfortunately, due to indoctrination and white supremacist ideologies that have been forced onto us and we've adopted and unfortunately practiced, we have been treating and viewing each other with the eyes of the white supremacist white man. I was born in Mexico. When I was 19 years of age, I went to the Mexican consulate. We're all Mexicans there. I went there with my little brother who's like a year and a half younger than I. We're the only youngsters there. Everybody else was clearly 30s and up, grown men. In front of us was a little group of, you know, grown adult men in their 40s, whatever.
One of them kept looking back, looking at my brother and I. And finally, and said this is Spanish, of course, but I'm going to say it in English. So, he said, "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" And I said, "Oh, we just came to get our passport." I was like, "Oh, that's cool.
What are you guys going to do in Mexico?" We just want our passport. He said, "What do you guys do here?" And I said, "What do you mean? I go to school." He says, "I mean, do you work?"
I said, "Oh, no, I just go to school right now." He said, "Oh, that's cool.
What are you doing at school? What do you want to do?" I said, which is true, which is what I became, but at that moment I didn't know that that's I was going to actually become it. I just knew that I wanted to be it. So, I said, "I want to be a writer." And he started He bursted out in laughter, right?
And then he got the attention of his comrades. "Hey, hey, listen to this guy.
Listen to this guy." He said, "Hey, hey, tell my companions what you just said.
What do you want to be?" And I said, "I'm I want to be a writer." And they started all laughing.
And finally, once the laughter was done, the main man said, "Hey, man, you're funny, but check this out, though." He pulled out his wallet and he pulled out a card, a business card. And he was the uh the business owner of a particular company. And he handed it to me and said, "When you're done BSing yourself, call me and I'll hire you." And it was a landscaping company. So, now, hold on.
Check this out. In the day of graduation, I came home excited because I was granted the opportunity to speak.
Out of the whole school, five people could speak at graduation. Three of those were Caucasian girls. One of them was a black girl, and then me. I was excited, so I went to the house and I, you know, I live with a a bunch of uncles and stuff. And so, I came to tell them, I was like, "Hey, I graduated. You guys want to come? I'm going to give a speech." And they all laughed and said, "Haha, haha, what you graduated from the streets?" So, I go and I and you know, I go graduate. And so, my teacher, who became my best friend, she was a Caucasian lady. So, she asked, "Hey, so I want to come to your graduation party." And I said, "There isn't going to be any." And she said, "Woah, what do you mean? Yeah, nobody cares." And then she said, "Ricardo, don't say that. Come on." And I said, straight face, I said, "Nobody gives a f about me." She started to shed tears. And she grabbed her phone and called her siblings, her family, and said, "We're going to throw a graduation party for my for my student." So, we had a graduation party at her house with all of her siblings came in as the attendees. So, all of these people who I'd never met before, they all brought me gifts that related to somebody who was about to pursue the career of a writer.
When I mentioned to a bunch of Mexican people who are supposed to be kin to me that I want to be a writer, I was made fun of. When I tell my immediate family that I'm about to graduate, they they mock and ridicule me. But yet, here I am turning around and a bunch of white people are throwing me a party and bringing me gifts to encourage my ambition as an author. Now, now, I'm going to tell you what that did to me.
That caused me to hate my own kind. It caused me to hate my own kind. The accumulation of our internalized racism year after year in my growth, in my development caused me to hate our own kind and caused me to be enamored with white people. So, with that said, I grew up hating my own reflection even more. Not just due to the result of the macro media and its white standard of beauty.
Not just that, but the fact that our own kind, our own people, if you will, try to bring us down, try to hold us down, do not encourage, do not uplift us. The accumulation of that caused me to f all y'all. Why? Why would I want to be proud of being Mexican? We don't like each other. We don't love each other. What's there to be proud about? Black people in Mexico were not even acknowledged until recent years. Their presence was not acknowledged by the government up until very recent years, but yet they have been there since days of slavery.
You understand? So, since the days of slavery, a lot of the slaves in North America in the United States, a lot of the slaves ran to Mexico to hide. And a lot of them have been living there. And not only that, but a lot of these Spaniards, they brought some slaves to a Mexico, too. So, black people have been in Mexico for a long for hundreds of years.
But, Mexican government has not acknowledged their presence until very recent years. And that is why I made a video and called it Afro-Mexican because these people have been there for many years with their own communities, speaking Spanish, of course.
But, they acknowledge their African ancestry. They acknowledge it. That's why they self-identify as Afro-Mexican because they're acknowledging their African roots. And the government has not bothered with them.
When you watch telenovelas, Spanish television, have you ever seen a black man?
No, never. But yet, black people have been there since the Europeans have been there for hundreds of years.
Imagine the Mexican young man who said he wants to be a become a writer.
And the people that are from his clan, his people, despise him.
Do you know what it means that when the people you are looking up to, you looking like, "Oh, they are your people." They despise you to your face.
Then what's going to happen to a black person? I mean, you heard the lady what she said.
They ask her, "Why is it that you Mexican really like black? Why they dislike?"
And she's like, "It's nothing, but anti-blackness, racism.
She She said it just to worry this and and that's the truth.
But a bitter truth.
Bitter truth it is.
Because I I I don't seem to understand why some something will be bold enough to declare, to speak, to express his mind unapologetic about what they feel or think.
And it was like I can get a black. [clears throat] And I can adopt a black who will not like to have a slave in the house. Imagine that statement.
Please, this video is for educational purpose, for enlightenment purpose, not to cast any aspersions, but to educate people.
Some people needs to be educated even though they know, but they have refused to be educated.
And that is why people like us will never stop educating them. We never stop speaking the truth to power. We never stop telling them what they do not like to to hear or listen to because in our speaking and talking and telling it, it will eventually prevail over the dislike, over the hatred, over whatever has been prevalent.
And and people like this, you can't outrightly blame them because You see that? I mean, you got Ricardo say that a mom came to America for the first time. She has not met any black person in her life. For a fact, he he knows that.
But the mindset is that, "Oh, why these black people? Why are they violent? Why are they this? Why are they that?"
Because of the news she has been watching while growing up. But Ricardo, the son, happened to school in America.
He has read a lot of book. He has enlightened himself. He said he first disliked her mother for that she resented her at first but later on in other words that she had no she has no cousin the privilege to actually She has not been opportune to be enlightened to read books to be exposed to be you know broadened and it was like but initially she was really really not happy with what the mother said.
She then said imagine a mother thinking like that who has never had a black interaction. She has not she's got no black around her. She has not met a black person before.
And she could think that way. In other words that is exactly what is happening in Mexico whereby a lot of Mexican grew up to just dislike black people. Why?
Because of what they have been told the rhetorics.
What they've been watching in news what they've been told by their fathers by their mothers by the news media in Mexico. As a matter of fact if you give birth to a person that is dark color they don't accept it. You just you see that hatred you see that dislike. You you you you start getting dislikes from the one that you came to the earth.
That's how anti-blackness is in Mexico.
And Mexican when they come to Latin America you see they can't but exhibit what they've been taught what they've known all their lives.
If as a mother you give birth to your son that is of dark skin you'll be disliked right there and there by all the family members. Imagine a mother a father uncles aunties saying that a niece has been given birth to or a mother seeing a son or daughter being given birth to and he or she is dark skin they will dislike her right there and then. I mean they're going to be speaking in dialect when they call me black and all that.
Imagine that level.
So you can imagine why that guy at the intro said he doesn't like to have a black person to have as a slave.
Imagine. He said I can [laughter] have it. He laughed. He said I can have it.
You know what I'm saying again that okay, I can have him or her in the house, but when he or she is not good in sports, I'm going to get another one.
So, you see that is sarcasm.
That is disrespect.
That is Oh my, I don't know. I'm lost for words because But but in this video, I'm I've come to actually enlighten people.
But the perception that everybody have, you see Mexican he said the guy the guy said Ricardo said he said the people uh his people also didn't like him. He is not a black person.
But it's still the mindset that has been sold by the colonial master whereby black dislike black, brown dislike brown. They see themselves as uh as suspects. They have the mindset against themselves. They say when you're coming you're coming and someone is coming ahead of you and he's coming to your side. And you look at him like, "What are you looking at?"
But if you see a white person coming, they say, "Excuse me, you know."
That's a perfect example. That's what happens. So, it's this tedious mindset that the colonial master has imbibed.
That is why every now and then we're doing these videos like this that there's need to unlearn. There's There's need to disorientate ourselves from what has been passed on. You know, they see black as evil and they see white as good, but it's a lie.
If they say then good there should be light, there should be good. It's black because every person of of spiritual influence and and they are black color people. But those guys changed the narrative.
Oh my, these guys.
But anyway, I'm here to educate people.
Stop the it Stop racism. Especially when it's between black and black, brown and minority group. It's annoying. Asians, it's annoying when you see when you see minority people disliking themselves, suspecting themselves.
It is the agenda of the Pan-African people so that you will always dislike dislike yourself. Divide and rule. When you when you dislike yourself, you are disadvantaged. That is the aim.
So, I'm doing this video to let you know that you've got to love yourself. You you've got to embrace yourself.
Everybody, every color.
It starts first within within the minority group.
There's got to be love, support.
Then it can go out to the other colors like Pan-African, you know, people. But, let it start from the minority group, the Asians, the Africans, the >> [laughter] >> the the the black Americans, the the Mexicans, the Latinos, everybody.
Well, I'm I've just said that. I hope it will be possible. Anyway, guys, I have to go. My time is up. Thank you for watching. Don't forget to subscribe, like, and share this great content if you love this content. And have this video let it go viral. Let people know that we are enlightening people. We're educating people. We want love to grow.
