Please post more brother, we need to see the perspective of Afro-Latino brehs like your self more often.


American knee grows got more info about racism. Blacks in Brazil be mostly brainwashed due of lack of cultural knowledge. And the racial mix in the poor layers of society plays a role here...

It's sad. But I know some niccas who know their shyt.

Too much generalization really depends on the family the region. My pops family was originally from cachoeira before migrating to lagos, nigeria. And they were encouraged to marry other africans.

Back then the children were born in Brazil usually to a brazilian born women and african born father but raised in Togo Benin nigeria.

The whole wishing your child married white is TOTAL brainwashing that probably fukked up the greater population. I have cousins in Brazil who are very much black and others look very much white
None the less they are proud of their african origin

one more note: if you dont understand LUSO TROPICALISM then you dont understand the slightest grain of brazilian racial dynamics.

you see its impact in Angola, Mozambique, and even Goa to a lesser extent since it was adopted by Salazar during Estado Novo

at least google that before you get on internet forums talking about cultures you've never been a part of or even read about

Any good books on this? :ohhh:

Afro-Latino Voices Narratives from Early Modern Ibero-Atlantic World, 1550-1812 by Kathryn Joy McKnight and Leo J. Garofalo. Is a great place to start.

It really outlines the relationship between the Iberians and Africans. Particularly the Portuguese, who have a very complicated relationship with Africa and Africans.

True story.

I was in Portugal a couple of years back, in Lisbon, hanging out in a park.

One of the park maintenance works came up and starting talking to me and my sister. He looked white, blue eyes, fair skin but said he was from Angola. That his mother was African from Angola and just because he was light skinned didn't mean he wasn't African (but it was more like he looked white but whatever).

He was telling me that the Portuguese were racist and they hated Africans and discriminated against them and made them work menial labor jobs.

This was all in portuguese mind you. .I told him I didn't speak Portuguese (I speak spanish though which is close) he pointed out to me that we were having a conversation so I must speak it well enough. Then a Jehovah's witness came up to us and tried to hand us a tract so that ended that. ..

it starts with Gilberto Freyre, but he is like Brazilian Nietzsche in that a lot of his work was interpreted or attacked without his input. a lot of people took it to mean that he claimed racial mixing would create egalitarianism and perfect democracy, but that's pretty reductive.

salazar, the portuguese dictator in the 20th century, really liked what he had to say in terms of abolishing color lines of the peoples of the portuguese empire (read: europeanization, physically and mentally). the portuguese were very strange in their colonial expeditions, though not nearly as brutal as belgium or france or england. instead of killing, they were encouraged to marry and have children with the local peoples, because Salazar wanted everyone to adopt a Portuguese identity regardless of what continent they were from. he based that on portuguese history - when Napoleon was coming for Dom Pedro in the 1800s, he fled to Brazil and established it as the Empire of Brazil, the seat of the Kingdom of Portugal. so while it was a colony, it WAS portugual - not like the US and French Canada at that time, which were just tributaries of England and France, respectively. so it wasn't a stretch for a later portuguese dictator to say that african branches of his empire were just as portuguese as lisbon and braga (especially because they'd lost brazil by then, so they needed to recoup territory badly).

so if you had to choose, yeah, it's a lot better than what belgians did in congo by a million miles, but at its core was erasing local culture and supplanting it with portuguese culture.

from him you should read The Masters and the Slaves, it's antiquated but it's the centerpiece of his work. if you branch out from there, you'll cover a lot of ground

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.
