They should seen him to Portugal so he will not have to worry about indigenous Brazilians and he can be around people his own complexion

Bro going to jail over cringe “dark humor” that sounds about 20 years old

 

[Wild self]

Imagine living in a country where you do time for offending Higher Learning posters.

Would be nice to put the honorary KKK posters in a jail cell, where they are forced to drink their own piss and be beaten heal to death for dumbing down half the American population.

“Prejudice, to me, is a primitive thing that shouldn’t exist anymore. Just like Indigenous people. Enough already.”

 

[Starman]

bet he didn't make any jokes about people like her though

Ehhh...

Before a crowd of roughly 4,000 people, Lins made jokes targeting elderly people, Black and Indigenous Brazilians, people with HIV, the LGBTQ+ community, evangelical Christians, Jews, people with disabilities — and even referenced pedophilia in his routine.

She could easily be a LGBTQ+ Jew with HIV. No way to tell from a picture.

"Racism" is "Illegal" in Brazil, while being one of the most racist places in this part of the world lol.

I still dont understand that... like irony on top of everything... they punish you for racism but keep the black brazilians as an underclass

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

he would be welcome in the USA.

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

[JadeB]

The issue there is nobody wants to discuss the real issues, so the banning of the speech is a performative band aid, while the systematic issues remain. Sure its better than nothing but I rather deal with Racist speech then unchecked systematic issues.

like france ignoring race as all french are "equal citizens of the french republic"
