What Is it Really Like to Be Black in Brazil?


When you hear about Brazil, the most common things that come to mind are its natural beauty and cultural riches. The country boasts the Amazon Rainforest, the Pantanal wetlands, and breathtaking beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro. These iconic landscapes are often featured in travel documentaries, advertisements, and films,…

  1. Take note, of late . How it seems . By a fw blacks poor me . Only blacks seemed to of suffered for color of skin. Bull. A pity me ,Im black. . Got news for many blacks. When anyone puts s lf worth effert in life and makes good decisions has privilages over those who do not. Nothing to do with color of skin. Concidering America has more black millionaires than any nation. You chose to be a loser or winner. Get a life ,

  2. Brazil is white deal with it Afro Brazilians are only 7 percent stop pretending something that’s not you see it in Brazil streets São Paulo and curtiba in USA you also see allot of Latinos who are not white and Afro Americans Brazil is whiter than USA

  3. The majority of the Brazilian population is black (more than 50%) … And "white" people are in fact mixed people with white skin… But there is still a lot of racism and it doesn't come like in USA or south Africa. It is different, it is a sort of cultural racism, political or religious racism… Not so clear.

  4. I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰
    I have chosen Brazil since 2002 as most loving country of mine after my own country. The main reason are Black people, bcz i found there are alot of racists against black Brazilians so i fell in love with black Brazilians and still supporting and love them. For me my country Pakistan is Heart and Brazil it's Beat. Te amo Brasil

    Pakistan+Brazil = Heartbeat
    🇵🇰❤🇧🇷

  5. Who is the owner, and narrator (s), of Black Journal documentaries, from where does it originate, is A.I. in part, or in whole, used to generate its work, and why would anyone, let alone Black folks, wear the site's Black EXCELENCE tee-shirts and hoodies, as EXCELLENCE is the correct spelling of the term? Something more than fishy is going on with Black Journal and the numerous other sites like it which have sprung up recently. Is an organ of white supremacy using Black folks to raise money by selling its merchandise at the Black Journal Store? This Black man smells a rat. BEWARE!

  6. We know who we are now and my people you must know that we are Hebrews. We are the people of that Old Testament Bible you are reading. This is factual and we, in the Americas and throughout the diaspora, are coming together. We need to know one another and love one another and stop doing dumb shit like killing one another. We can do this.

  7. wrong information, the black population is not 50% of the Brazilian population, but only 15%, pardos (mestizos) and whites are the majority of the population, the mestizos have several DNA in their blood, indigenous, Portuguese, Spanish, etc etc. the mestizos are not considered black, You like to inflate the number by 50% just to say that Brazil is mostly black, which it is not.

  8. Lula made the day of conscience of black people to be oficial and protects the indigenious with more rights. Even created quotes in university. Why do you make his image in the thumbnail?

  9. ANOTHER MISINFORMED FOREIGNER THAT LOOK FROM OUTSIDE AND THINK HE UNDERSTANT EVERYTHING ABOUT BRASIL AND ARE QUICK TO CRITISIZE OUR BRAZILIANNESS…YOU CAN DO A FAVOR TO ALL BRAZILIANS…STOP´TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND….AND DO NOT THROW YOUR OWN PREJUDUCES UP ON US ….IN OTHER WORDS ….SHUT UP!

  10. I am confused, you said something about the indegenous natives being wiped out due to diseases brought by the Europeans? Who were these tribes and what they looked like if they were different from those brought from Africa? Those from japan were forced, pressured out of japan.. most are familiar with the Tuskegee experiment and who the victims were, how many are familiar with Unit 731 in japan, where the same experiments took place? I wonder what these victims looked like…
    I dont believe this "out of Africa " narrative because it is continuing and keeping aive the lies that black folks only arrived around the world on Slaves ships, thus making us slaves? WE ARE THE ABORIGINES, THE INDEGENOUS, THE INDIANS……. Still respect your work brother…

  11. South AMericans always bragging about racial whitening especially Argentina, thats why I as a black women largely only care about the Caribbean and Africa at least we are a super majority there.

  12. How about blacks treat other blacks in Africa, especially women and little girls…and the US??? How many blacks are killed by blacks in the inner cities in the US? In these situations BL (don't )M.

  13. Our problem is, our home continent is kinda rubbish. Totally owned by foreigners and hated by its own people. Powerless and simple to corrupt.
    As a result diasporans have no strength to fall back on.

    We don’t even have our own god; as do all other races, which feeds into their strength. And our crawling to the Arab, or pale, god just weakens us further.

    I’m sooo embarrassed by we.

  14. Negro/Afro-brazilian= Hebrew Israelites.

    Deuteronomy 28:15-68

    Deuteronomy 28:1,15-16,50,65,68
    [1]And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
    [15]But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
    [16]Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
    [50]A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
    [65]And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
    [68]And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
