Although there are different evaluations of how much impact the newly House-approved Statute of Racial Equality will have on the reality of racism in Brazil, the majority of black movements in Brazil claim the statute as a victory, at least symbolic in nature.

A majority Afro-Brazilian nation! written by Brazuca,
October 16, 2009
According to the notion of hypodescent and the one-drop rule, 90% of Brazil's population is Afro-Brazilian, since, according to genetic studies, 90% of the population has some black blood.
So theoretically, there should be a quota of 90% of university positions to be occupied by Afro-Brazilians in order for universities to represent the reality of Brazil.

Brazuca has my applauses !
Outside of this, an article written by a member of the Amaral Dynasty, be it from Ricardo or Michelle, should have no surprise for its contents !
Hiding the truth...is what they have been doing for centuries...while at the same time were and still are pillaging the country for their own benefits...of course !
Every member of that dynasty is strategically placed...EVERYWHERE....in Brazil ! Exactly the same as the Sarney or ACM, etc etc...dynasties !

besides the afro brazilians that will be able to go to college now, the teaching of afro brazilina history and recognition of capoeira and help for small business that have 20 percent black employment ,are all welcome...
i wish the media could have been included. i dont like watching brazilian tv that looks like it has been filmed in santa catarina
there is much more public awareness in brazil now about racism and the exclusion that goes on. i see tv public awarness spots about it and things like this going on ...

Still got a long ways to go... written by Leo Bonneville,

Sure, this is a first step...That had to be made at some point!
But the reality of things are, Blacks are still blacks(and no one is talking about your crap of experiment Brazuca, with your ridiculous assertion that 90% of Brazil are Afro-Brazilians, Sure the people responsible for this experiment examined the blood of 200 million Brazilians..DUMBASS)
And I'm not surprised that Ch.C would applaud you
Its becoming more evident to me that Ch.C should no longer post comments on www.brazzil.com, but I'll leave this up to the people responsible for maintaining this site.
A lot of people will never get past the physical appearance, the social inequality that already exists and has existed since the creation of the Brazilian Constitution..
Which can only translate into decades of more emancipation of Afro-Brazilians before the changes can be felt in the everyday lives of the diverse Brazilian communities.

Wrong.Comrade ch.c is the owner of the site.BTW, he is also making a movie titled "Dynasty Busters". Though I tried to put embargo on ch.c´s comments in the beginning of our "long,pleasant, BUT...BUT controversial association", it didn't work. Then I discovered that he bought the site outright with his ever appreciating money.
THEN...THEN...., I remembered the old proverb "If you cant fight them, join them"
BUT...BUT... if you do manage to get rid of him from this blog, we do have a Plan B. Will reveal it at the appropriate moment.
Any questions?

NEW MEMBER? Haha another wrong answer!
I've been sitting back watching the crap you say since my teenage years, its certainly long enough to see what kind of man you are.
My Dear Vulgar Old Sir:
Just because I recently decided to share my opinions about some of the ridiculous statements made here...
DON'T THINK FOR ONE SECOND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU PRAISE FOR THE LONGEVITY OF YOUR RIDICULOUS STATEMENTS ABOUT BRAZIL.
Specially since, how are you helping the situation, again?
THE WORLD DOESN'T NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU..FORTUNATELY!
I for one, will do my part to bring equality to Brazil, if that's by developing entrepreneurship programs and teaching the importance of the private sector building wealth for its citizens, NOT THE GOVERNMENT.
I WILL DO THAT..You follow?
You in the other hand, do nothing but criticize Brazil..
WHEN HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN BRAZIL CREDIT FOR ANYTHING?
You have no idea about others understandings and rationalizations in life, you believe everything that you believe in is the truth and nothing but the truth, so help you god..and your life is everyone's reality.
How wrong of you!
Even you there sitting in your 10,000 sq ft home should know that people in different parts of the world have different circumstances and didn't have the same opportunities you had, and the same life experiences.
YOU ARE A F**KING DEGENERATE AND A PRICK!
Like I said to Forrest, perhaps its time you move on to WWW.MEXXICO.COM, I heard there's about to be a civil war, all sorts of corruptions and gang violence, you know the stuff you're into!

I'm very much PRO-PROGRESSION, take that as you wish, I strongly believe people should be accountable for their actions, but I understand others situations.
DEFINE FREE SPEECH? Because I believe there is a lot of things that people are frown upon for saying.. DON'T FORGET, THE GOVERNMENT DEFINES WHAT FREE SPEECH IS..DON'T BE SO NAIVE!

North & South, A Common Approach To Race written by Lloyd Cata,
October 19, 2009
It is interesting that the "institutional" process of race relations has developed along the same paths in both North and South America. Both societies in the US and Brazil have large populations of 'colored' people. The US 'civil rights' era still has not arrived in Brazil. Indeed, it has not ended in the US. There are still too many disparities between whites and blacks in the US, even if there is a 'qualified' black man in the White House. The US model of 'civil disobedience' has not yet captured the Brazilian imagination, or as we see from the article, it has been nullified by opposing views within the Afro-Brazilian community. This is not uncommon and was a practical advantage to the US community of racists. Yo see that the majority of the Black Community in the US has very low regard for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who was a product of the struggle for equality, yet successively 'appointed' to position by white power structure (since Obama was replaced by a 'token' Black) of the US Senate. His only necessary qualification was to 'be black and shut up', which he has excelled at to his credit. Brazil has maybe several generations before achieving even this level of accommodation with its people of color, but the time will come when the Anglo customs will fail of their own accord; just because the people will no longer identify with those who profess superiority on the basis of skin pigmentation. Eventually Brazil will realize that leaving part of the society behind is a drag on all of the society. Perhaps this is the lesson they will learn before the US and thereby exceeding the North in racial harmony.
a lot of long wind in there..... written by asp,
October 21, 2009
ill have to read it with more depth before i start to comment on it, but, any one who has to hide behind intelctualism but cant break it down in simpilar terms isnt communicating their thoughts well enough
where there are some things i can agree with, there are a lot of holes and generalisations....
you know, brazils racial problem is differant than the usa, but,it is a reality and has to be faced....seriously..on its own terms....
just the face of the media, one of the things that got a break from these new laws, but, it shouldnt have, is a white media domination, but, you see on some channels, a large number of very good black american tv shows, like my wife and kid, everybody hats chris, fresh prince of bel air , and many others....
and afro brazilians relate very well to them, ask and afro brazilian if you know any, and if america didnt go through the process it did, it wouldnt have had any of these shows....these type of shows is what brazil needs , more of nethinho domingo de gente
i dont know when these french guys write about the mcdonaldsizaton of the planet, hell just get people to stop eating mccdonalds...i mean, look at the record industry, it is the corporate rock that dominated everything in music, now its falling apart. people can beat these systems if they just dont buy...if people cant get them to stop buying, and get their own counter hype machines going, they should just lump it
no brazuca, not nuff said, this dont prove anything , and is really intelecualy long winded and pretentious

Llyod Cata written by João da Silva,
October 21, 2009
Dr.Cata, I was wondering what happened to you and finally found ya here! Never knew your specialties included "insight" on racial division, segregation,inclusion, exclusion,etc;
BUT...BUT... would make a humble observation on the following stretch of your comments:
There are still too many disparities between whites and blacks in the US, even if there is a 'qualified' black man in the White House.
1)Is This 'qualified' black man really "black"? As far as I know he is the son of a White American lady from Kansas and a highly educated Kenyan(African)father. So in my humble view, he is just a highly educated "Kenyan-American" and the skin color doesn't come into picture.It just shows how much importance the Americans place on education and not the skin color of the candidates they elect. Also, it proves that yours is a multicultural society.
2) Assuming that PBO is really "black", don't you think he has been in power for too short a time to eliminate the too many disparities between whites and blacks in the US?
I think that our friend ASP understands about the difference between U.S. and Brasil on racial issues. I wouldn't be surprised if "Brazuca" does either.
As usual, it is a pleasure to debate with you, Dr.Cata.

give me a break , brazuca....havent you heard of afro brazilian culture? written by asp,
October 22, 2009
if you want to be dence about this , be my guest...
what do you think afro brazilian culture is ? from mars ? are the people invisible ? yeah, to people like you , you would like them to be invisible so you can have your weird theories
but you arnt fooling me, someone who has done some reseach into afro brazilian culture. how to break it down , the various elements and where they come from....the dances, the rhythms...you dont know nothing
if you follow the stupid logic of that article you lined up here, im not surprised
there is a lot of bulls**t in there from some biased writers making huge generalisations...you can have that crap
by the way, that one percent bulls**t is from the kkk....it doesnt play out in real life at all
any one who has visited the usa in the last few years knows there is a huge spanish speaking population. how these writers are portraying the usa is arcaic and stupid
american basketball ? i hardly get any information about it down here, its about futebol , and that is the way it is in europe also. these people are idiots hiding behind big words
augustus !!! please read the linc he set up , you are the only one on here who could really understand that crap

google up "cultura afro brasileira " and just check out how many hits are on there in portuguese right from brazil....
and you think the term was made up by americans ?
where is your head at man ? are you one of these conspiricay theorists about how the usa is the root of all evil in the world ?
i mean, what other kook theories do you have up your sleeve to try to be in self denial about the discrimination of afro brazilians in brazil ?

in todays news : neo nazis busted in rio grande de sul for beating up an afro brazilian
do you think that they thought he was just a brazilian, or do you think they are making a distintion between white brazilians and afro brazilians ?
these neo nazi crimes come up in the news in sao paulo and rio grande de sul with enough frequency that we cant say at all that brazil is free of violent racial crimes
you better get for real

January 25, 2011
it looks the white population is being set to extintion.
brasileiros e brasileiras, eu moro na inglaterra e como brasileiro eu posso afirmar , cuidado com essa serie de regras que vem la dos EUA e inglaterra. isso ai eh um golpe contra a populacao branca nos paises sul americanos e africanos. eh um grande arrevanche e vinganca pelo fato de esses 2 paises citados sempre foram os mais racistas. agora eles querem virar o jogo. isso eh um jogo. a nas grande cidade europeias o numeros de pessoas brancas nascidas caiu expressivamnte. e logo logo seremos minorias ateh mesmo na europa. essa lei de "igualdade " foi criada pelas bixas da europa e america do norte. pessoas sexualmente frustada e limitadas. e intelectualmente retardadas. boa sorte pro brasil pois um dia eu ainda quero voltar a morar ai.
So theoretically, there should be a quota of 90% of university positions to be occupied by Afro-Brazilians in order for universities to represent the reality of Brazil.
