Walking around the Leblon district of Rio (PAWG Central)

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

that's the most surprising of all of em

Like I said it was passive, but these cacs avoided you like you were straight up there to like rob them or had a disease or something. Just cold shouldering and avoidance - social distancing before it was en vogue. And it wasn't a looks thing because I've never had an issue like this anywhere else in the world and my boy wasn't looking crazy either . I knew what time it was based on the 1st 2 mins in there but my boy from NYC was more . Like, "I can't even get near people to talk to them ".




In other parts of the world, as a black American, when I've gotten looks it was genuine curiosity with people will coming up to chop it up w/ you. In Mexico even the cac-Mexicans would show some love --ask where you're from in the States, include you in a group round of drinks, etc, etc. Same as in CAC-ass spots in Poland, the Czech Republic, etc. Might get some looks due to novelty but that novelty is usually an icebreaker.

In Leblon it was just a heavy vibe of feeling like you were in a caste society, did not belong, and should leave.

I say it rocked the breh from NYC because he was born and raised there and is used to mixed-race and even mostly white environments feeling welcoming enough. The friend of friend (imagine an olivish looking dude who looks like a mediterranean white) admitted he'd never been iced/cold-shouldered out like that before.

My point remains. Dudes on here LOVE white women but flex on white men. They need to get the hell on somewhere wit that silly ish

There’s nothing wrong with hating on the men and loving the women as it’s perfectly natural. You think white men love Asian men as much as they do Asian women? Or do you think non black men hate black women as much they hate black men? Of course not.

So I'm a woman but I can appreciate a good looking woman too. I've been to rio, and it just didn't live up to the hype imo. Of course there weren't as many fat people, but I was expecting to see all these head turning beautiful women with amazing bodies and it wasn't like that. Not as diverse as I thought it would be at all. I didn't really experience any racism, but the people I ended up linking with were all white so I'm sure that had something to do with it.

I did meet a few black/mixed people there and they were all from Salvador. Next time I go to Brazil, that's my main destination. A friend of mine went to rio as well (without me), and he met a black girl there and he was telling her he wanted to go to Salvador and she didn't want him to because they would be all over him there lol. It's just more of us there so obviously friendlier.

I will say, other areas of Rio were much more diverse than this place though. I just read that this neighborhood actually used to be a quilombo for the escaped slaves. Interesting that this is what it became. I guess there are more people of color in the favelas but apparently they don't come to the richer areas and I didn't venture up there.

Rio was mad underwhelming in terms of the women. A lot of strong ass features and odd builds out there honestly. I haven’t been, but if brehs are traveling for beautiful women, Colombia still reigns supreme from what I hear from friends. No matter what you’re into, black, brown, white/guera.

Dimes everywhere while nikkas in the states surrounded by fat bytches wit attitudes..

Yup.

and i salute these dudes for making my path that much easier to stomach

Allow me to take this take and state Brazil DOES NOT HAVE THE LARGEST BLACK POPULATION OUT OF AFRICA. Y'all can one-drop rule yourselves into extinction or for a certain narrative but I'm not with it.

Then who does? Because there are plenty of Aframs with white admixture, but they're still considered Black.

Thats dumb too. Why you white women lovin fake militants try to do everything to justify your lust for so called cave beasts? Play wit somebody else bruh.

The definition of who's and who's not Black varies throughout the Americas.

Holla at your boy. We going back in 2022.

that 49ers settlement got me my trip paid for march

 

[Strapped]

I like my women darker than me

True. But the context of the current conversation is the American definition of Black.

Per census, the US. It doesn't have to be more complicated than it needs to be. Again, if "black" is a class and not a race, then it could be viewed different. But you can switch classes, not "race". Yet again, y'all can take the "passing" foolishness somewhere else.

Well you're contradicting yourself. Because the Aframs who say they are of the Black race have themselves white admixture. Your militarism seems misplaced.

You're mistaken. You're simply overthinking it.
