Outside of Rio, in the region known as the Baixada, or "Lowlands," there is Claudio Henrique, also known as the "Obama of the Baixada." Hoping to become the first black mayor of his hometown of Belford Roxo, Henrique sees the senator from Illinois as an inspiration, who has been able to break boundaries and overcome obstacles -- many of which stand in Henrique's way. http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/election2008/2008/10/the-obama-samba.html Watch this video profiling a black Brazilian politician inspired by Barack Obama.

The problem is not being of mixed heritage, in Brazil. The problem is the same in brazil as it is in the U.S. NOT BEING WHITE!!!
