  1. Baruch 3:8
    “Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God.”
    1 Kings 8:47

    “Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;”

  2. Respect to all of the Mexicans, Canadians, and American Abolitionists, who helped asylum seeking slaves. There were times Mexican civilians armed themselves, to protect asylum seeking slaves, from border crossing slave catchers.
    Sad thing is, at the beginning of this video, there was an ad of an African American woman, fear mongering over Mexican migrants taking over the country, etc. SMH

  3. Funny how Mexico never have evidence of native Americans tribes who had nothing going Mexico did Mexico bad country Spain should go back to controlling all Spanish countries and islands like they did long time ago
    Mexico is running away from history crimes they committed

  4. My Lady told me about this . She is Hispanic I’m African Born in America. Something schools don’t teach you. I grew up In Southern California with Mexicans. They my family

  5. The reason why t"Mexico would help the people that they used for forced slavery was because the president of Mexico was indigenous black!!! ""Vicente Guerrero"""…💯💯👍🏾👍🏾

  6. He president of Mexico that was responsible for freeing the slaves in Mexico was Vicente Guerrero. He was African American. For doing this Rich Mexicans in Texas (while it was still part of Mexico) asked the USA to help them break away from Mexico so they could keep slavery. Sam Houston, Davey Crockett and Jim Bowie and other went there to help keep slavery going in Texas. Why are these men considered heros?

  7. I Lived in Atlanta, Georgia in The Early 1980'S. I Haven'T Known More Racist People Than African Americans. Even The Dévil Doesn' t Like Them..God.is Right. He Gives. Us What. We. Deserve.

  8. The history they don't want you to know because then you would love your brothers and sisters, which we are brothers and sisters of persecutional circumstance and a realization that our leaders, if we help them get their have the best interest in our community and we can actually help get them there together !

  9. ….and over 200 years later mexicans/la raza united with white supremist to fight black people in the prisons/jails and on the street economically with illegal immigration pushing black people out of the work force … all the stupid racial harmony black people (except me) in the comments never learn

  10. I learned this outside of school.. history mu favorite subject and i knew different people that could knew which books to read and i was Told stories passed down and this was one of them.. then i grew up tryin to understand WHY bp and mp beef in some states like Cali ( where im from)
    Then as i got older i noticed something.. their is no real beef as a whole…its 99.9% gang members on both sides that beef..
    The non members aren't really tripping off race..u Cool with them and respectful it'll be returned..i learned a lot from them rs.. real solid people

  11. Look how we're rewarded, we're called wetbacks and told to go back to Mexico. I believe at one point in time this was probably a good gesture from the Mexican people, but I more firmly believe that was a mistake.
    go ahead, let it rip now…..

  12. Depends on which Mexican you speaking of. The black ones that was already there. Are the ones that was mixed with Spaniards. Stop lieing. There was no white Mexicans. 😂
