As far as the NAACP is concerned it is still an organization with a black face and white purse, so I don’t think that it will help that much for Brazil. So called blacks have been fooled all over the globe with making civil rights a priority when we as Men and Women have a God given birthright of Freedom, Justice, Love and Peace. It seems that the European power structure in Brazil is controlling and telling the people of color who they are, black or white thereby creating a system of division amongst the people. Wherever you have the European you will have this problem because he is outnumbered on the planet and because he knows that he will be eliminated by the more melinated people he must put himself as the standard by which all should be measured to validate and maintain his rule.

In the United States we simply stopped the b.s. and got to the point from those who thought (and still think) they can send out their talking heads to pretend color isn’t the deciding factor. We stopped wasting our time with their (the lighter peoples) promises and their reassurances. They will send their talking heads out to talk in circles forever and continue the same pattern that is OBVIOUS. “Whites” pay people an actual salary to waster our time. Stupid reassurances that everything is okay.

If anything, Brazil makes the exact point of blacks (a political block) in the U.S. You’re “mixed”, “multi-racial”, “dynamic”, bla, bla, bla and the patterns are the same in Brazil as in the United States, the African continent, France you name it. The same pattern. The darker the lower your status in the society (with the exeption of Africa where the whole continent is suppose to exist in poverty).

The media literature, the official government literature, the corporate literature all speak of Brazil as this multi-cultural heaven, but everybody at the top looks the same. Yet when the darker-skinned people say “we want our lives and status to improve” the lighter skinned people THREATEN racism will increase and there will be a retaliation by the “whites”.

JUST LIKE IN AMERICA, FRANCE AND ELSEWHERE in the U.S. we just stopped pretending and publically, verbally, directly and outwardly stated what the “whites” pretend is some sort of secret to out maneuver those dark people…

Yea I’m black … what’s your point?!

Likewise, the darker brown people of Brazil should stop wasting their time debating the obvious. How to deal with it, and the violence they promise, should be the debate.

who knew the unknown side affect of this disorder was racism.

Along the same lines as Michelle, I’m amazed at the sheer denial of some people reaping the benefits of maintaining the status quo.

1: Affirmative action is a system who leaves certain groups with a better chance, unfairly leaving the rest, that have done better off (either if it’s because they can afford a good school or not) with a worse chance. The problem will not be solved by affirmative action, the employers will later on assume that all black people have only gotten in because of affirmative action, and not because they deserve it. The roots of the problems, are, as they brought up in the documentary, further down, with bac public schools that leave smaller chances to the ones not born in a wealthy family. What I think needs to be done is to either give the poor people a better chance in public schools or disallowing private schools (giving everybody more equal chances), where I prefer the first chance. And to do that, the first thing to do is to remove the corruption, which needs a whole series of documentaries to get a clear picture of, because without the corruption they could well spend a few extra billions in the public school system.

By the way, some people say that two thirds of the poor population is black affirmative action is the way to go, that’s 67%, when they claim 40 to over 70% of the actual population actually is black. And at some point they said 54%, what about the rest of the 33% who are poor, who obviously have the same problem?
