And lets not talk about how the mortality rate of Enslaved Blacks in Brasil was higher than almost every territory in the Western Hemisphere barring Barbados and Jamaica during the heights off the sugar plantations.

At the heart off that thinking is superiority. Oh no your culture means nothing, because ours is so much superior.

In all reality the Portuguese along with Arabs where poison to Africa.
of course, they just went about it in a drastically different way

there was very little good salazar did, he switched his whole tune up after hitler lost and so-called decolonization started because he knew the tide of popular opinion was against him

im sure if he thought mass murder would line his pockets easier, he would have done that. there was no philosophical basis to his cruelty

But i do agree with you on the fact that the Portuguese unlike other Euros actually got out there and really established relations with others. And through that created unique cultures in partnership with the locals, Cape Verde and Sao Tome are 2 examples.

freed slaves had their own civilizations they defended for 90 years, it was multi-racial and largely ruled by Africans and Afro-Brazilians. european colonists attacked them 6 times with massive force and were repelled

there's a holiday called the day of black consciousness and monuments to Zumbi all over the country


there is a huge amount of racism in Brazil but black brazilians are not the complacent morons you think they are. of course there are some who are blind to racial and systemic realities but there's a vibrant obviously black culture in brazil and people are proud to speak of their melanina

Thanks for posting, is most of black culture in brazil centered around Bahia? Do you have any links to afro-brazilian blocos?

Cape Verde and ST&P is a little different because there were no locals, the cultures developed as an abandoned trading way station, but even there nearly everyone is mestiço so it shows there was definitely little to no taboo of different groups forming communities together

Those islands are some of the most interesting places this side of Africa in my opinion

I would say the African roots of Brazil are strongest in Bahia but I know a lot of baianos that don't identify as black and are still baiano as fukk

There's a lot of black culture in the southeast too, rio and São Paulo to a lesser extent. Brazil is very regional so "black Brazilian culture" is too broad of a term

What kind of links do you want? The blocos in Bahia were linked to black power movements in Brazil in the 70s but not all are political now.

I got a some fam on my Dads side from Sao Tome, its no where as racially ambigious as Cape Verde. The Portguese really didnt settle there like CV.

But yes, those 2 along with the Krio peoples in Sierra Leone(my peoples) are the most interesting in Africa to me.

Even in Sierra Leone theres some Portuguese leftover influence. There was a small group of Portuguese/Africans who got absolved into the Krio population.

People really need to look on Black Colombians, they pretty much said fukk this Slavery shyt, and rebelled and formed Palenques all over Colombia.

Black Americans really need to start building relations with them. They get it folks.

Sorry for what happened to the sister but she only continues to support the exact same racist caste system that got her kicked from her role.

And of course she couldn't wait to talk about the racism from other blacks while ignoring the racist system set up in the 1st place by white people. All those blacks are only sick victims to what they set up.

The same sophisticated racist caste system is growing in america, which is why I'm always arguing against this bullshyt light/dark skinned debate cause adhering to it will still only catapult whites to the top of the totem pole of it.

The lines should be

Those who support white supremacy vs those who are against it.

Because just like in brazil, south africa, Ethiopia etc where this sophisticated caste system takes place, whites continue to monopolize all resources and lie about history and although "mulattos" get a few more crumbs to keep the system in place, it will always remain more beneficial and empowering for whites.

Disse tudo bro, tem que se mudar. O preconceito no sul é uma porra

a lot of my friends are nordestino but I don't know Bahia beyond second hand that well to be honest. I spend almost all my time in Brazil in the southeast so I might not be the best source. Sorry bro. It's a poor region in general, the northeast, so a lot of people move south for work

What you know about Mangueira escola de samba tho :myman:
