Since y'all aren't celebrating Black History till next year...
—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.
I love the way an elder says, “white boy.”
I love the way an elder says, “white boy.”
It rings truth…
You can’t say he’s a racist..
Cos that’s what the white boy called himself
A white boy
So the elder calls him that..
And white boy got the whole world so
Confused….
Indeed…
He did…
I might say white boy, too
He’s not a man, he’s a little one
Who can’t stay in the sun for too long
He built a system that genocides
His parents, to oppress his parents
Ya he’s afraid of his own father
So he get him to wear a dress…
I wonder if an elder knew
What a white boy did…
If he only knows
Cos I’m sure he’s an observant…
He looks at his own people
Tryin to make a way…
Meanin survival…
When I listen to this wise elder
Sayin, “white boy”
Tellin stories from the past
And what’s ahead in the future…
I love the way an elder says, “white boy.”
