Major protests going on in Brazil.

[King Poetic]

There has been much government spending to help build and refurbish soccer stadiums across the country, which are currently experiencing massive cost overruns (currently projected to run three times more than South Africa's bill for the 2010 World Cup, according to Marcella Martha and Kris Voakes in a special report for Goal.com).

To help fund the shortfall, the Brazilian government recently announced increased rates on metro and bus fares of about 10 cents. It was a decision that enraged the citizenry, as the hike was viewed by many as an affront to the working and poorer classes.

Frustrated by the government hikes, which began on June 1, demonstrations began being organized throughout the country.

ridiculous.. typical government

Man... you pop off some shyt n get traction I'm there. Then I'll wake up because this is America... there will be 15 people at the rally.

Why? This is the white man's kingdom. Let it burn.

good point.

I've considered that. The problem is....

the masses of my tribe (black americans) love this shyt, and love the ruling classes, love the media, feel that they are appreciated because they are used for entertainment, and are for the most part hopeful that they will make it past their current situation and don't look at the big picture.

I don't want them to sink w the shyt... while I'm protesting greedy capitalist , privacy laws and foreign policy with a group of white hipsters.

Not surprised...I hope they do the same during the World Cup and Olympics. Embarrassing the government is sometimes the only way to get your point across. If you got tickets to fly to Brazil in 2014...might as well cancel now and go in 2015.

Being honest, alot of our people need to go. Our people heads are stuck up the white man's ass, and they don't even know it. They love America and will do anything to keep it going as long as they can get the new IPhone, the new Air Yeezy's/Jordan's, and watch Love and Hip-Hop. We have to come out of Babylon spiritually before we get anywhere. I rejoice in seeing this place fall.

Its not just that though, brazilians pay the most expensive of all products, iPhone is 2500 reais, common cars like Honda and Hyundai are 3x the value compared to in the states etc. and it's the goverment that profits and prospers while not investing in education and basic necessities. Now is also the best time to protest because international media is in Brazil and the spotlight is on Dilma and the PT goverment, where is Lula during all this?

I'm sure other countries' leaders are looking at Brazil's politics wishing they could do the same to their own population, protests will probably get out of hand soon because the number of participants just keep on growing.

I heard it already got out of hand at a soccer game or something and they had to stop the game and then the police were using excessive force on the people and shyt

Brazil got bad hos but goddamn that shyt is a mess

Good for Brazil to fight for a higher standard of living and against government corruption.

Wish we could do that in the USA

There's a lot of countries that would, but let's not act like there's nothing wrong with America.
