And some cities still have festivals where they honor confederate history and use the flag?

that town is crazy breh. Oscar is from there

there's an obvious history of the english language embedded in the culture there, their accent is so weird

but i can tell you, most of them really dont get it. they have very little knowledge of american history beyond the fact that their ancestors lost a war and moved there.

still tho

They were the last country to abolish slavery, no shock there, Brazil has a horrible history behind it (and poor present as well).

I thought Argentina was the one to take on all those Nazis.

Oscar from there too? Doesn't shock me though that they have no idea the meaning behind much of the imagery. Imagine being a black tourist and stumbling onto this shyt while on vacation

Brazil and Argentina took on a lot of Nazis hiding. I have no idea why those two countries were the destination of choice though.

If you think about it though wasn't portugal one of the biggest exporters of slaves? so its not really shocking they would do that

americans beat themselves up for not knowing shyt about the world outside of the US. brazil could afford to hit itself a little harder
