Da hell happened to all the black players on Brazil?

[concise]

I thought mixed persons were...mixed?

I was paraphrasing the idiot.

 

[noodles]

I was wondering the same thing

That crowd looked crazy throughout the tournament...I was thinking 'where were all the Braslian locals?'. But as someone said its mostly the whites who can afford the games...reminded me of my trip to Egypt a few years back and a local screaming that there should be more 'Nubians in Egypt'..

Oh ok, nvm

 

[L&HH]

i think your confused 40% of the population is mixed, the true black population is like 10%

So...what is the black population of the US?

constantly 10-13% for the past 300 years

kinda weird since the latin population has exploded the past 20 years leaving the blacks in the dust

You really fell for the okie doke on that one breh. You're ignoring the "one-drop" rule when it comes to Brazilians but not for Americans. For Brazil you're not counting "mixed" as black but in America you are.

Not true. Brazil is the blackest nation on earth outside Africa

Uh, Brazil has the highest Black population of any country in the Western Hemisphere.

These dudes trying to argue with someone from there.

Both statements are true, as well as mine. Brazil has the largest black population in the Western Hemisphere but it is also a mulatto country. Bahia itself has a massive "strictly" black population.

The thing is, in Brazil, we don't abide by the "1 drop rule" like in the US. That's a slave master's creation to deny his own children and grandchildren. You're more than welcome to keep a slave owner's social creation intact here in the US, but don't force it down other country's cultures and social structures.

Brazil has had a much longer history of "racial mixing" than the US, and at a much larger scale. Not only "mixing" between European and Africans, but those two groups with indigenous people as well. 500 years worth.

Matter off fact, the more "pure" someone's race is (for a lack of a better word and sentence, the whole thing seems silly) the more likely that their recent migrants to the country.

Here is the stats from here:

Demographics of Brazil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Total Population: 190 Million
Claimed "White": ~91 Million (~48%)
Claimed "Black": ~14.5 Million (~7.5%)
Claimed "Brown (Multiracial)": ~82 Million (~43%)
And then there are others which are around ~1.5%


The thing is, a lot of those Brown people here in the US we would consider black, but there are some brown people in there that we might also consider to be white. There is also a lot of people who claim to be white that are in fact mixed, not just strictly with Africans, but also with the natives. That's my family. My maternal grandmother's family is nearly straight native. They claim white on the census but here in the US there would be no way that a lot of you would ever classify them as white.

My point? Don't apply US standards of race to Brazil. It doesn't translate.

So would you say that no form of institutional white supremacy exists in Brazil? How does the racial totem pole look? Is it white Brazilians at the top, black Brazilians at the bottom, and mixed Brazilians in the middle? Maybe Brazilian society doesn't go by the 1-drop rule but I suspect that there is clearly some kind of racial caste system in place that has "black" or darker skinned people at the bottom, and that's definitely rooted in slavery. As far as race relations brazil is no different than America, self hate just runs more rampant there.

[FaTaL]

lemme guess our President wouldn't count as being "true black"


get the fukk outta here cac

brazil is a different country

when the usa counts black it uses the one drop rule

in brazil the population is 40% mixed so they only account full black people as black


wake up and open your eyes

Never said that. Matter of fact, I've always said the opposite. Brazil is much worse than the US in institutional racism, which is sad to me given the true demographics and history.

The bottom is the true natives. The people out there in the Amazon region who don't have shyt. But yes, I understand what your point and I agree.

Maybe Brazilian society doesn't go by the 1-drop rule but I suspect that there is clearly some kind of racial caste system in place that has "black" or darker skinned people at the bottom, and that's definitely rooted in slavery.

Not denying that nor have I ever said that wasn't true. I would argue that the natives still living in the Amazon region are at the bottom of Brazilian society, but it doesn't take away from the fact that blacks in Brazil are massively at the bottom.

As far as race relations brazil is no different than America, self hate just runs more rampant there.

They are worst off in Brazil, and there is an issue of self hate, but there is also an issue of hundreds of years of mixing between 3 different kinds of people for a lot of the population. It isn't as easy as saying "my great grandfather was a white slave owner" like it is with a lot of African-Americans. For a lot of Brazilians, it was far much more rooted to abide by a slave owner's "one drop rule".

I agree....however....I just wanted to make the point that blacks do indeed exist in Brazil....and a whole lot of them.

Yes, you're correct.

A lot of people there want Chief Justice Barbosa to be the President of Brazil one day:

Looking at his wiki page:

Although many people believe he is the first black descendant to become justice minister in Brazilian Supreme Court, he is actually the third one. He was preceded by:

Hermenegildo de Barros (from 1919 to 1937)
Pedro Lessa (from 1907 to 1921)[4]

However, Brazil does not adopt the "one-drop rule", also known as "one black ancestor rule", and therefore, in this country, he is considered the first black justice minister in Brazilian Supreme Court.
