Mexico abolished slavery in 1829. Enslaved people were escaping to Mexico. The U.S. tried to get Mexico to sign a fugitive slave treaty to return escapees but Mexico refused to sign such a treaty, insisting that enslaved people were free once they set foot on Mexican soil. —Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico? Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico. —To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery. —Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento. —Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.

Happy Black HISTORY Month..... When we say REPARATIONS, it goes deeper than slavery!!!!

Because some of those mothers have been raised by single mothers and subconsciously dote on their sons because they finally have a man in their life who won’t/can’t leave. They fill their heads with nonsense that they are superior in all ways in order to keep them motivated. However, that backfires and those boys grow into men who learn to hate women after figuring out that no woman is going to treat them like their mother had. My source, being the only girl (and eldest child) watching my mother raise her sons. They truly believe the world is their own even though they are complete assholes. I’ve watched this happen in multiple occasions with other families as I grew up and became a mentor for young teens. It’s saddening but this is a part of the reality we live in.
