Racism In Brazil Is A Big Problem

[Yehuda]

You can't measure racism? I hear a lot of "How racist is [insert country]?"

Or white people saying [insert nationality] are just as racist as us

So now every country that has racism is the same ...there's no levels to this ish?

You can say slavery might have been more severe in some countries than others, but how can you say one country is more racist then another, Blacks are the underclass in every country in this continent from Canada to Uruguai, we all have the same problems or at least very similar problems, to me it's all the same thing.

And keep in mind racism = white supremacy, all this "Black folk are racist too cause they call us devils" smh nah it's not the same thing.

Wow...the way some people talked about Brazil as if it was paradise, you'd think it'd be the total opposite. Welp, the more I know.

Brazil taught the USA how to enslave

I feel you, i'd not say most people are ashamed though, but blacks are programmed since kids to admire white "culture". And since there never was no civil rights movement it might be difficult for african assimilation. The most famous book for kids "Sitio Do Pica Pau Amarelo" was written by a racist called Monteiro Lobato, yet they use this book in a lot of schools out here.

look at the selecao, they pretty much bred out the blackness out of their teams. now you got these wannabe white mix breeds like neymar. i don't know of any past or present black brazilian footballer who had or will have a black child. that's why i was so happy when germany pushed their shyt in, better the real ones win than the wannabe fake ones. i use to like the selecao too back in the day before i learned about their horrible society. i worry that their c00nish behavior is a path black america might go down.

Sidney Poitier had black kids with a black woman before he got with the white woman

Muhammed Ali's Children are black, it's not his fault one of his daughters became a "wench"

i didn't say that was their only kids. just those kind of pics are what happened in brazil on a large scale. i don't want us going down that path.

seems to be the story all over the world no matter where we go

Rio Carnaval, and mostly all the brazilian stereotypes and culture clearly demonstrate the profound influence of african genes and culture. Honestly Brazil cultural foundation is african regardless of the mass number of supposed europeans in this country.

I see you said this country. Do you live in Brazil?

Latin America has always been extremely racist towards black people

Racism In Brazil Is A Big Problem - Rio In A Week

Racism in Brazil or o racismo no Brasil.

However you want to say it, it’s a huge problem in Brazil and I’ve seen it first-hand. So when I see Brazilians speak about racism in America, I hold back laughter because in my opinion:

Racism in Brazil is worse than racism in America.

I’m saying it and I don’t care who disagrees with me. A big reason racism in America isn’t as bad as Brazil is because of economic development.

For many Black Americans, there are realistic opportunities to reach a middle-class lifestyle despite where you start. There are thousands of Black Americans traveling to Brazil each year for vacation. How many Black Brazilians have you met visiting America on vacation?

Probably not many. I’ve met my fair share of White Brazilians though.

So, I’m tired of Brazilians denying racism in Brazil.

While staying in a hostel in São Paulo one year, a White Brazilian woman tried to convince me Brazil didn’t have a racism problem like America.

She said that because she can call Black Brazilian men “negão”, it shows how connected and equal all Brazilians are. The democracia racial is proven because white women can call Afro-Brazilian men “big black man.”

Sure, that is true equality.

Let’s look at some of these statistics of equality shall we.

Quick Stats
​

• Among college graduates, White Brazilians outearn black Brazilians by 47%.
• Homicides rate have dropped for white Brazilians by 24% in the last decade. In the black population, the rate has increased by 40 percent.
• Afro-Brazilians account for over 50% of favela residents in Rio de Janeiro.
• Anybody remember seeing any black faces in the stands during the 2014 World Cup?
• Despite being over 50% of Brazil’s population, Brazilians of African descent only account for 16% of the top richest 1%.
• Black Brazilians aged 12-18 years old are 3x as likely to be murdered as White Brazilians in the same age range.

They are also more likely to be victims of police killings; a study by the University of São Carlos showed that 58 percent of all people killed in the state of São Paulo by the military police were black. They make up 62 percent of all people incarcerated nationwide.

“When you see a police patrol car, your heart freezes,” Luiz Roberto Lima, a black photographer from Rio de Janeiro who lived on the streets as a teenager, told me. “They could kill you because you were at the street or because you were standing up for your rights, and they could also kill you for pleasure. Even if you don’t have a criminal record, they may trump up something against you.”(Source)

Black Brazilians are being murdered intentionally.

People like to call racism in Brazil covert, unlike America’s overt racism. But these statistics are pretty blatant to me.

On Dia da Consciência Negra, a day when Black Brazilians bring awareness to Black issues in Brazil, my Brown Brazilian friend on Facebook wrote a comment about why we don’t need a day for Black awareness.

She basically typed, “everyone is equal, we need a human awareness day”

These stories prove otherwise.

i agree with the points of the article for the most part but not so sure about Brazil being more racist than Amerikkkuh or skeptical thousands of AAs travel to the country every year...due to it's larger Afo origin population and near equal cac population Brazil racial equality similar to the US more pervasive...i hear Brazil has undergone a black empowerment/consciousness movement in recent years which is a positive start but equally important is getting rid of th gangs/drug lords etc whom i'm sure similar to black American's own urban domestic terrorist are being funded by the government to destabilize and poison the black community
