THIS IS FROM UR ORIGINAL LINK TO WIKIPEDIA ,SO I DONT KNOW WHERE UR GETTING THAT 2/3 NUMBER....More than 200,000 Africans were brought to Mexico during the time of the Spanish Empire (Sailer, 2002). Although it is not common knowledge, and they make up less than ONE percent of the population, the descendants of these slaves still live in Mexico today. They have been called "The third root" by anthropologist Gonzalo Aguirre Beltrán....................AND HERES ANOTHER ARTICLE THAT STATES THAT ONLY 9% OF THE POPULATION OF MEXICO IS AFRICAN-MEXICAN........................BLACK, MEXICAN And INVISIBLE

Historical and statistical data of the Mexican descendants of Africa living in Mexico do not estan registered in censales annals historical. The black Mexican, like homogenous group, do not appear mentioned Mexican history inside until the point that many Mexicans say that they do not exist.
Mexican se projects as Indian or racially mixed (an European mixture and autóctona). Or the Latin calls and I mark From which Spain I colonize Mexico in 1500 and I almost annihilate the native Indians, some dare to say that Mexico is a country español. the black son muy rare times associated with the history of that tierra.
Despite el 9% of the population the total population of Mexico is Afro-Mexicano. occila around the 90 million inhabitants.
Today the black live in each corner of the world and constitute the root of many civilizations, then, porqué the been born ones in Mexico are not considered, marginalized and relegated to almost invisibilidad?. In a black interview to 2 teachers of a school in Guerrero, Mexico say to us that the black have not been shaped in history with justice but they are shaped like drunkards, farcical and usually denigrated by their color.
And to make matters worse of badly they are to the base of the economic stairs like indio. Such two educators interviewed informed to me that many black reject their black descendants.
That the traidos enslaved answer is pasado?. usually is identical to the experience of the other African to the New World and subastados. But with a unique difference of flavor méxicano. Ted Vincent relates in its work "Afro-Mexico" that after the war for the independence of Spain in a 1800, general nonSpanish business the "three plan of garantías." Numero one was the guarantee of two independence and I number y three were the guarantee of protection for the church and economic position of the well-to-do like also for the black majorities, the social fairness.
When happening of the time 1er. Congress of Mexico turned the fairness clause one of prohibition, la to mention state race in documents or the historical data of the churches Like consequence with a stud the etnicidad was erased of the historical data presents/displays and futuro. Law that today stays and firme. Vicent strong says that in Mexico the census that includes different ethnic groups has been carried out from 1930.
African captured and brought to America as enslaved they arrived in Mexico in 1500 with the Spaniards to toil next to the indigenous almost-annihilated ones like constructors, slaves in the mines of silver and the vast cañeros plantations.
As the studied Vincent relates, 300.000 to 500.000 African were taken to Mexico during that time and soon but of 100.000 slaves they were mattered of the Philippines, Borneo, New Guinea, Malaysia and the China.

The city of Veracruz in the Gulf of Mexico, was the port of entrance of the esclavista commerce during century XVI and as a result of the vile one I deal is a great population of African descendants scattered by región.

READ EVERY LINK I gAVE YOU AND LINKS FROM OTHA SITES IF THEY HAVE N-E AND THEY SPEAK UP ON THAT. DID YOU KNOW THAT A STUDY WAS DONE WITH THE gENES AND MANY MEXICANS ARgUE AND CAN'T BELIEVE IT JUST LIKE YOU? THEY WANT ANOTHA RE-TEST. BUT JUST READ ABOUT THE SPANISH CASTE SYSTEM.

AND FOR THE RECORD, WHY YOU CHANgIN' WORDS WHEN YOU COPY AND PASTED WIKPEDIA?
^^^i dont think u read my post right..the first part is the wikipedia.....the bottom part had to be translated couse it was from a different site in spanish..regardless..wikipedia states that only 1% of mexicans are african-mexicans and the one in spanish said that its 9%.....so can u post where it says or where u got the idea that its 2/3 of the country?......and for the record,aint no1 denying african blood in sum mexicans..but i highly doubt that the numbers are anywhere near what ur saying...
...its not that I'm lazy, champ...like i said, that ratio seems a bit high, so i skimmed all your links looking for the word two-thirds, the number 2/3, 66.7%, 20,000 out of 30,000...you get the idea...so, since you stated it like its golden...maybe you can pinpoint exactly where it is...at the same time, if it's such an accessible/believable number, why aren't a majority of those sites making the same claim?
