2018 Carnaval ...is Brazil celebrating chattel slavery?

[Sithlord Piff]

Somebody from Brazil gotta explain whats going on here..this is in the middle of the carnaval celebration with all the colorful floats, fine ass Samba dancers and shyt...why this theme, why now?

So instead of being in a happy celebratory mood..they got all the black folks looking at Cacs with the icegrill on their face.

I'm sure there's more to it than "celebrating" slavery.

You do not even know the context so you automatically assume they are celebrating slavery?

 

[Chief]

They might be commemorating

Where did you get these pictures can you link the source? There wasn't a description or article attached? Did a quick google and it was a form of protest it appears to draw attention to the Afro-Brazilian struggle and past in brazil during the biggest celebration in that country.
