Afro-Brazilian Women Call For Support From Diaspora

[KOohbt]

Black issues should have no gender. If black women have problems all black folks should step up and vice versa.

 

[KOohbt]

selfish because you want to use black women like other groups want to use black people. you don't care about equal rights or safety. you just want to be on top. look, if you want to be selfish that is cool, but own it. why deny the obvious?

Your wrong face it.

Thanks to black men people think bytch and ho are black women's nickname.

Black women were seen as the same thing to other men far before black men started rapping.

Our women were sold, traded and put on display for our bodies FAR before rap existed. I can't agree with this statement.

Baby steps. Most of the diaspora can barely communicate with each other.

It's hard I'm not cut from that cloth. But I gotta remember not everybody's ready to step up like that.

Your wrong face it.

Your wrong face it.

Your wrong face it.

I don't know why you're coming at me with an attitude, when:
1. I tried to be civil and actually partial agreed with you.
2. Wasn't bashing black women on this thread. Whether they feminist or not.

Rap doesn't degrade women it degrades black women.

Rap throughout history degraded women in general. Its just that rap is majority black, thus mostly black women getting degraded. Rap/Hip Hop culture is not the majority of black American culture. Black men don't even own most those record companies.

Stop playing games.

No ones playing games. I don't know where you got that idea from.

Yes while most cultures degrade women as a black man you know not to come at an Arab women crazy but your degradation of us has allowed us to be fodder for everyone. That's one difference.

Can you elaborate on the bolded?

Bravo! You don't call women bytches. Want a cookie?

Meaning not ALL black man men apply to your stereotype you hold on black men. Bravo! You have poor grasping skills.

You mad cause I don't want our issues to be some separate movements? There is no reason and no success with black feminists. It's silly.

I heard the black power movement is finally growing in Brazil

Those white elitist Brazilians better pray something similar to the civil-rights moment doesnt matter, because I predict it could be stronger than the one we had. Remember Black Brazilians not only been enslaved longer but oppressed longer imo. They have had enough.

How's their colorism issue?

Because light skinned black Brazilians(with 2 black parents) don't consider themselves black.

I wonder is that changing now.

if the only way you're forced to acknowledge the issue is through separation, then let it be separate. that seems to be the way for you who want to ignore the issues of others within your group because it doesn't benefit you

 

[Bawon Samedi]

I definitely agree. The images of Afro Brazilians are pretty much invisible save for stereotypes and caricatures or controlled by the white majority. We could definitely benefit from forging a relationship and acknowledging the struggle we share as new world blacks.

Agreed. Black Brazilians can benefit from our help imo. They like black British and South Africans seem to be the most understanding of African American struggle.

That's true. It's a learned behavior from mental conditioning. Isn't that all the more reason to consciously combat it when we see ourselves reproducing it?

This is actually taboo to me. Because last I remember most Brazilians were trying to be labeled black for affirmative action.

 

[Malta]

Black American women don't mind being shown as deviants, unlike Afro-Brazilian women, so I can see why all the fake feminist won't support


@Malta I think you were right

They have a right to be upset, just look at how dudes on here talk about Brazilian women when it comes up, they seem to think all these women are hyper sexual, AIDS ridden, poverty stricken morons that will worship at their feet because all their knowledge about Brazil comes from porn or media.

If the minority whites portrayed them like this -



They wouldn't have a prob

Absolutely, but fighting each other is counterproductive. I've already said I'm going to contribute to this cause but the arguing and blame game going on in this game is unnecessary.
