Here's a very interesting article about black and brown history, touching upon the truths in this thread, in regards to the immigration issue. It belongs in both this thread and the immigration one, but I'm not posting it in both.

mexicans claim mexican,not african-mexican,spaniard-mexican or indian-mexican...just plain mexican...so get over it edj,like i said before,aint no1 denying anything.. mexicans would rather claim their nationality instead...just like every other country does,like brazilians claim brazilian and not african-brazilian...etc.
Man! This has gone far better than I expected.We are all the same race,HUMAN.Spread Love not hate. Lets do it for the tinys. Its time to break the cycle and unite to fight oppression.Lets free the Ghetto, and the Varrio. Lets be the ones. Just like in '92 when we formed the "BLOOD-CRIPS"truce WE CAN DO IT! Read the Co-intelepro papers, Pawns in the game. and Behold the palehorse.

Everyone cool has black blood. If you're a bitchmade pussy, you got White or Asian blood.
But then there is no White, only Black folks who stayed out of the sun for a few thousand years.
And there really is no Asian either, only Black folks who lived in an environment with low trees and dimmer sunlight.

Nah I actually learned some shit from this thread.
I'm opposed to any idea of racial supremacy. I attended a talk on Melanism and many of the same issues were brought up. It just seems to me that the new era of black historians (especially melanists and the same camp) will seem especially eager to attribute anything and everything to the Black race, such as the elimination of other racial lines, technology, science, exploration, etc. It all seems to lead to the umbrella of an entire world that was created, molded, and brought to life through mainly the actions, ideas, and peculiarities of black people.
The notion of other ancestries as meaningless is especially prevalent, at the same time paradoxically celebrating an all-encompassing Afrogeneology as a valid racial complex.
What I have yet to understand as well, is that often in mixed people, the "black"ness often becomes more important, essential, or part of one's identity than the other side.
Note that you see mostly "African-American Mexicans", "African-American Arabs", etc. The Black identity usually comes before the other race, and I don't think it is just a question of what sounds better. There is sometimes unspoken, sometimes overt idea that Black heritage is in fact superior to other ancestries, often displayed in Academia and among the vehement "anti-racists".
Perhaps this thread was not the best place to address this topic, though. I think it holds true in your case E. How often do you discuss "black" issues vs. "Mexican" issues? How often do you identify as a Black man vs. Mixed or Mexican? Even if you haven't out and said it, the majority of your posts deal with issues from what is commonly a "black" perspective, or ideas that affect Black people. I think the only way one could know that you were mixed is to ask. It would be rather difficult inference to make from your posts and what you are interested in.

^I DISAgREE AND THIS VERY SAME TOPIC ABOUT MEXICO EVEN AKNOWLEDgIN' THAT IT HAS BLAK AS IT'S THIRD ROOT AND PEOPLE OF AFRICAN ANCESTRY PROVES MY POINT. OFTEN BLAK IS SEEN AS NEgATIVE, AND HISTORY WILL TELL US THIS. MEXICO'S HISTORY WILL DEFINITELY TELL YOU THIS. THE LAK OF PRIDE OF ONE SELF AND THE BELITTLEMENT OF OTHAS HAS CAUSED MEXICO TO SHUN WHAT BLAK THEY gOT. SO IT'S ABOUT RECOgNIZIN' YOUR TRUE IDENTITY. HOW MANY MEXICANS YOU KNOW THAT WILL TESTIFY TO THEY BLAK ROOT? OR HOW MANY MEXICAN'S WILL YOU MEET THAT EVEN KNOW THEY MIgHT HAVE BLAK BLOOD IN THEM? THEN AgAIN HOW MANY WILL YOU MEET THAT WILL THINK YOU'RE IgNORANT FOR MAKIN' SUCH CLAIMS, AND ONLY CLAIM SPANIARD AND AZTEC BLOOD? HOW MANY YOU KNOW THAT THINK WHITE IS RIgHT? THE SPANIARDS BRAINWASHED TO THINK WHITE WAS BETTER AND TIL THIS DAY, THAT'S HOW THE WORLD IS. IDENTIFYIN' AS BLAK IS JUST ONE WAY OF BEIN' PROUD OF WHAT BLOOD YOU gOT IN YOU. AND TO SAY THAT BLAK HERITAgE IS UNSPOKENLY SEEN AS SUPERIOR IS INCORRECT. IF N-E-THANg, THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE. READ ABOUT THE "MESTIZAJE" AND "INDEgENISMO" AND READ WHY AFTER 500 YEARS THE BLAK MAN BEEN KEPT OUT OF MEXICAN HISTORY AND WHY HIS BLOODLINE IS DENIED.
