Why are black people in south/Latin America completely missing from their society's public sphere?

[Blackout]

and how many of you muthafukkas watch colombian tv again?

nikkas always talkin about some shyt like they know somethin.

I used to watch city of men religiously when it was on air, downloaded all the series. it was an all black tv show. I watch several brazilian flicks, all which have black people. in fact the most famous brazilian actor is black. they are def under represented in novelas, but black people in america are under represented in soaps too. most blacks think they're watck and lame. I guess the ones down south do too. our women are too busy working, those shows are for rich white women who do fukk all during the day.

I see, so do they have any representation politically?

and that is one of the few black actresses in brazil, a country that is 50 percent black

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

the country isnt fukking 50% black, they're definition of black is totally different than ours, they have no one drop rule. I can post some Rashida Jones stars if you want prados (50% of the country ahem) are in ALL brazilian shows and movies.

nikka just stfu, and watch some fukking brazilian movies before you go spreading your ass cheeks and talking shyt like you know some shyt. you know NOTHING

a lotta ppl don't understand this. a lotta coli keyboard militants can't grasp that concept that the racial caste system over there is way more complicated than black, white and mexican

This is also why I laugh at people who want to have black people and mixed people in two different categories. They don't realize that it lessens your civil rights as a group if you are put restrictions on who can be a member of the black group. Strength is in numbers and some mixed and black people are too concerned with tribal mentality to see this.

Yea they do, Rio had a black um...I guess we'd call it Governor? Lula is mixed, he was the president from a rural area.

Blacks are mostly in the northeast, State wise, I would say no, but locally, they're there. but as per usual very corrupt.

If you turn on the biggest Brazilian TV station (Globo), you'd think it's a Swedish channel

This is actually very sad....

 

[Tommy Knocks]

This is actually very sad....

Chances are he's not sat down and seen more than 1 TV show from that channel. and probably saw some day time Ellen Degeneres style show thinking he knows what he's talking about.

i dont give two fuks about brazil's racial classification system, blacks obviously make up more than 12%, so even if only 12 percent of the population is black it would still point to more racism than the us

its obvious that the situation is worse than in the us

 

[Blackking]

Should we try to help them????
Or just leave it da fukk alone and let our brothers suffer in SA. I know thecoli thinks black Hispanics aren't us, but they decend from Africa like us... they just were taken by a different group.

I have mixed feelings cuz my sons are bilingual black so call Hispanic... but actual my American black bm is the least pro black .


I mean, we could show them how we did the civil right movement shyt, it was sorta a hollow movement, but better than that c00n shyt they have going on.

So they have less political power there than we have here in the US?

its called classism nikka, and if 50% of the population is mixed with black how much racism can there possibly be? how did the population become 50% mixed? you.....dont....know....shyt.

negro, prado, blanco. negro and prado are black in america.

now, are you telling me prados are under represented in brazil? adriana lima? ronaldo? neymar? you think you cant find them blacks on tv? they're on every fukking station, they're the majority in the country.

you think favelas are all black huh? WRONG. I bet you also think BOPE is all white? WRONG. you dont know shyt about brazil, and you need to stop reading cac media to get your information.

you are talking about a country and system that is worse than the united states in terms of race

just stop it, you're a clown

 

[Tommy Knocks]

our political structure is WAY more complex than it is in brazil. We have, senators,mayors, governors, city council, electoral votes etc. its 2 totally different systems.

should they be represented more? yup. is the same as the U.S? hard to say. a prado who looks like neymar would you consider him someone who is black working for the black cause? most likely not. those prados tend to just care about money. same with blancos. a pure negro.....is not represented well in brazil at all. its a tricky topic, trying to view brazil like america is not wise, when you see brazil, you have to not compare but understand their difference.

I didnt know it was a fukking race. Whos better than who. Canada treats their blacks better than america. now what?

like i said, i dont give two fuks about their racial classification system, one thing we know for sure is that more than 12 percent are black using the paper bag test and the pencil in the hair test

and when its worse for blacks than in the us where we are just 12 percent that is some serious racism

 

[LucaBrasi]

Yeah, Columbia for example, has a 14 percent black population, which means Columbia has more black people percentage wise than the United States

The simple answer is that Latin America is a racist oppressive society against black people, in the us black people have exploited the concepts of liberty and freedom to advance our cause, in Latin America there is no real ingrained concept of freedom even if you are white

But also the racial mixture is different and the one drop rule is not as clear so it's easy for black people or mixed people to say they aren't black (or Indian)

But the real question is why are so many black Americans convinced that people from Latin America will unite with them against the "cac" when Latin America society is just as racist as the us, what makes people think that white people from England are different than white people from Spain?

Maybe because the US is a free, democratic and rich nation and Latin America as a whole has battled with dictators and third world poverty?

I swear only Americans compare themselves to poorer countries While judging them
