This topic is a bit old, but I want to know what people think about the postage stamps Mexico released in June of 2005 shown below.

It obviously infuriated many Blacks in the U.S., but I was wondering about how Black people from all over feel we are portrayed in various countries and across culture.

Are Blacks looked at as sambos or unintellectual peons around the world, or is this only in America and around its borders?

Lastly, your feelings about the stamp or anything you wish to share is certainly welcomed...

Mexico is a racist country. Always has been.

In June before school let out, the Mexicans in Los Angeles went on a killing spree, doing drive-bys in front of Black high schools and carrying on. The violence between the Blacks and Mexicans in CA is escalating, and Blacks are losing the battle.

Of course Mexicans feel they can shoot up our children and degrade us on their postage stamps. We have shown them through our fake ass hip hop "culture" that we don't give one damn about one another and will not stand up for ourselves. We are the only people on Earth who DANCE to songs that detail our genocide. Remember primary school? Everybody punks the people who act like cowards.

Personally I see Mexicans in this country as our enemy as well.

If not our open enemy as is the case out on the West Coast, they're most certainly our competitors for jobs and political power...and they know it.


They are basically the new slaves whites have brought in to replace us, and just like the thoroughly brainwashed people they are....they have no problems accepting their 2nd class status.

They love being slaves and never would have fought for their freedom the way Blacks did because they don't have it in them; they're too brainwashed.

They think their Spanish and don't see themselves as Indians and these stamps along with how the darkest of them are treated in Mexico just shows how much they think of us and other non-whites.
As far as I'm concerned ones they call themselves Spanish they give up all claims to the land.


Black people should be leading the march to protect and close the borders on all these racist Latinos, Koreans, Indians, Arabs and other people from around the world flooding into the country to take advantage of the rights and opportunities WE and OUR fathers faought for.

Brother Omar, you are right. Im HOTEP! niceone.gif

Heres an article from mi website http://www.sunshinekid.com round this issue, just a different angle to viewthings from..

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- The Mexican government hasissued a postage stamp depicting an exaggerated black cartoon character known as Memin Pinguin, just weeks after remarks by President Vicente Fox angered U.S. blacks. The series of five stamps released for general use Wednesday depicts a child character from a comic book started in the 1940s that is still published in Mexico. The boy, hapless but lovable, is drawn with exaggerated features, thick lips and wide-open eyes. His appearance, speech and mannerisms are the subject of kidding by white characters in the comic book. Activists said the stamp was offensive, though officials denied it. "One would hope the Mexican government would be a little more careful and avoid continually opening wounds," said Sergio Penalosa, an activist in Mexico's small black community on the southern Pacific coast. "But we've learned to expect anything from this government, just anything," Penalosa said. In May, Fox riled many by saying that Mexican migrants take jobs in the United States that "not even blacks" want.

Sekou, chair of the International People's Democratic UHURU Movement in Atlanta, had to say "The Mexican ruling class are merely the descendants of the original Europeans that conquered the area. Just like the U.S. and other areas. Racism as the ideology of colonialism is very much alive and well wherever there was Slavery and those that benefitted from it.......I can't say that this reflects all People of Mexico. We have to understand that the Mexican ruling class put these stamps out. Now a lot of the lighter more on the Spaniard side don't understand how its racist, I will openly say FUKK DEM! They ally with the opinion thats been perpetuated by the ruling class ever since slavery. However we can't condemn for example the Indigenous People of Chiapas who are struggling against the same Racist and Oppressive ruling class for Power. The Zapatistas of Chiapas who have expressed their solidarity with the Black Power Movement. Again with the Coalition piece, I've explained that its about Coalitions and Solidarity with Principled Politicized Orgs, not just any Tom, Dick or Hank or Tomas, Ricardo, or Enrique. Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, said it is "impossible to overstate how appalled and offended I am, not only by the stamp but by the reaction of the Mexican postal service." She added: "Hispanic Americans and all other Americans will and should be equally outraged."

One of the most influential newspapers in Mexico, El Universal, denounced the stamps, and an African activist told the Associated Press that their release disappointed him. "One would hope the Mexican government would be a little more careful and avoid continually opening wounds," Sergio Penalosa said."

**** mexico , coming from a government that'sissued health and safety guidelineson how to cross the border into another country..who gives a toss what they think about us? I felt sorry for the mexicans getting sniped by Neo nazi groups at the border until I read this story

i don't know mexico and mexican. so i see this country as an oversea. i never heard about this kind of stamps.

but even i have never been in mexico, i know that mexican are not our friends. if this kind of stampsis still there we can't say that this feeling is not shared by the majority of the people.

for example, here in france, allthough the racism against africans does exist, you'll never find kind of things, because a stamp is an official document.

i was wonderinghow african mexicans are livingthe racismin this country?

By trying their best to deny thier African heritage, the same as most Black Latinos.

You have issues.

Most Black Latinos DENY thier African heritage and that's a fact.

They hate their dark skin so much they'd shave it off it they thought they could live normally afterwards.

Your statement is FOS and that's a fact. Your hatred of latinos is damn near psychosis.Get a grip on yourself.

Again, mexicans are racist, but I don't think your personal opinion of latinos qualifies anything as fact.
