The history of Afro descents in Brazil is extremely vivid , and strong - all you need to do is just research Bahia and you will learn this . It is a very African but uniquely Brazilian , a creole , and the reflections of there history is so strong and deep , look at things like Capoeria , candomble or the Roda da Samba , these things are institutions in themselves and highly prized elements of Brazilian culture , but its often forgotten where is comes from - AFRICAN CULTURE - which was filtered threw the experience of enslavement and resistance

[@ju_carra]

Don't forget the state of Minas Gerais (meaning general mines). It was the biggest melting pot in Brazil as it was where every one came for mining gold amd other metals. There you can also clearly see that the influences and roots of our culture are mainly African!

[@bobwanjala1401]

One African love. Babylon is falling. Its time for us Africans to be telling our own history. The whiteman has lied to the whole world and i love the way we have called the white people out. They cannot perpetuate lies anymore. One 💘 from Kenya-Africa.

From Chicago. Much Love to Our Brazilian Brothers and Sister's of the Diaspora. ✊🏾💪🏾

[@dandamuxima]

As a Brazilian, I can say that you're one of the few KZbinrs that was able to speak so many right things about my country in just one single video. There are many other things, of course, but you video covered many parts of our history. My forefathers came from Salvador- Bahia and I'm proud to have African blood running in my veins, despite all racism that we witness around here.

[@ShangoHeruGinen1791]

I love this. ♥️ Brazil has more African descendants than any other country in the Western hemisphere and the second largest Black population in the world after Nigeria.

[@pearbear319]

That's right, but the ruling elite seeks to hide this fact and the dismal position this majority Black occupies in the country.

[@ellen2394]

Thank you so much for bringing this to light sis❤️! Almost nobody knows about us and our history

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

My absolute pleasure! Thank you for watching! ❤

[@jabaltariq4606]

That's not true and you know it!! What people are perplexed by is why almost all the Black Brazilian soccer players have non Black wives and unlike their US or even Black European counterparts they do not use their platform to speak out against the blatant racism in Brazil.

My beautiful sister, thank you for your wonderful video on Black Brazilian history and culture! I cried 😭 hearing about the struggles of our family in Brazil and what they had to endure. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst writing my senior thesis on the Quilombo of Palmares and the heroic leader Gangs Zumbi. I am so proud to know that the day of my birth, Nov 20th is Black Awareness day in Brazil! ✊🏾💪🏾 Keep doing the amazing videos on our beautiful people and culture around the world 🌍🥂🧡🙏🏽You are a living saint 😊

[@FreedomIsMineOfficial]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words, that means a lot sister. I hope through making these videos to show how diverse and beautiful the global African diaspora is 🖤✊🏽

[@ju_carra]

Brazilians are extremely ethnitically mixed! I have native brazilian and black features and participate in the culture. Because of my white side I don't have the same experiences or set backs as a black person or native brazilian would, but I also don't have the privileges of a white person. So along with many brazilians I think of my self as being Parda, wich basically means mixed to the point where u have no clear ethnicity... you're a shade of brown.

[@cariocabassa]

Tamos junto prima!!!👍🏼🇧🇷

[@scottianwashington]

We all sister and daughter I’m claim you Junia Parrerira whatever you are and maybe black, white and etc...❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@aaron0077]

I can relate but my black side comes from the Caribbean (Trinidad). That country in particular brought East Indians as indentured labourers after the African slaves, and mixed race black/Indians are known as Dougla.

[@wilbertkendal2524]

The white man's agenda in Brazil is biological genocide. Afo Brazilians need to start embracing their blackness or they will be whitewashed out of existence.

[@bradley7118]

Yes I did know that Brazil had the second largest African population since the Slave trade. At first I didn’t know.

[@tycromwell7483]

I found Brazil to be racist toward blacks(I’m a black male from USA.) not in the sense of I feared the police would harm me, but the people would look at me suspiciously..as if I was a criminal or poor. When I would enter expensive restaurants people would look like “why are you here?” Brazil has a modern day apartheid system. People of different social classes seem to be separated socially. I was assumed to be Black Brazilian. The word I learned is “preconceito.” To be Black un Brazil is not viewed as a good thing.

[@FelipePanicalli]

Você conseguiu entender o Brasil perfeitamente. Infelizmente, aqui o negro é relacionado à pobreza e se frequentar ambientes mais abastados chamará a atenção.

[@cariocabassa]

@@FelipePanicalli O racismo no Brasil ainda é bem presente né...?

[@FelipePanicalli]

@@cariocabassa infelizmente. Os negros são os mais pobres da sociedade e a ascensão social deles parece uma odisseia de tão difícil. Se é por racismo, não sei, mas é um fato. É preciso tirar as pessoas das favelas e ser política de Estado dar a essa gente ambiente digno para viver.

[@cariocabassa]

@@FelipePanicalli Papo retão!!!

[@MrJovision]

The slave trade in the Americas formally began on February 12, 1528 with the approval of the Emperor of the Germanic Roman Empire and king of Spain Charles V of Habsburg. The first beneficiaries of this authorization were two German merchants, Henri Ehinger and Jérome Sayler. Both were representatives of the Welsers, German bankers who dominated the finances of the Spanish crown alongside the Fuggers, together with the Genoese, they were pioneers of the slave trade to this region. However, it should be noted that both the Fuggers and the Welsers belong to the German companies of merchant bankers, who made their fortunes in the spice trade, mainly sugar and slaves, as they are the ones who introduced the first large sugar mills in the Americas and with it the slave trade. They had the monopoly on trafficking African slaves to the Americas. English slave traders erupted on the Caribbean scene from 1562 to 1569, with the arrival of John Hawkins. Germans did not abolish slavery in Tanganyika, only in 1922 when it became English. Servitude Ordinance of 1922 would effect a speedy decline of an already dying institution.1 Yet, only thirty years earlier under German colonial rule, slavery was a pervasive feature of most East African societies.

You should do one over Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire, the story is similar to Brazil's own. People from Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao ancestors is also from Cape Verde our language (Papiamento/Piamentu) is a Portuguese creole.

[@channeler231]

It is 53% of the brazilian population who has african origins wich is 117 million of the 210 million of Brazil habitants.

[@tylerboulware3468]

That 43 percent that is mixed to not necessarily mean mixed with black. Mestizos are mixed too

[@yusefnegao]

Mestizo is a Spanish term the Brazilian equivalent is mameluco because mestico in Brazil means European and African mixture

Sou descendente dos antigos Senhores de Engenho brasileiros, escravocratas desde o século XVI, e considero uma grande tragédia a Escravidão. Infelizmente, a população negra é a mais empobrecida da sociedade brasileira, vivendo em condições insalubres nas favelas ( costumo dizer que as favelas são as novas "senzalas"). Toda política de reparação tem meu sólido apoio. Lamento, no entanto, que alguns políticos tomem a causa dos negros apenas para ganho pessoal.

[@aghonelego2379]

Yemoja is African Goddess. Why would you represent her in Light skin and blue eyes? is there no other photos you can use.

[@oladipupodurotimi4754]

They’ve been really trying to whitewash some of the Yoruba gods lol. Also saw a white statue depicting Oshun as a white woman.

[@Jamhael1]

There is a sociological explanation of why Yemonja has white skin: As the Orisha of the Seas, she is a "mother" figure who "birthed" their children into the shores of the place where they would be enslaved, making her, in a subconscious way, a "traitorous" figure. So, to represent this "treason", Yemonja has white skin. I hope this helps.

[@aghonelego2379]

@@Jamhael1 OK. Thanks. I have also understood that some light skinned devotees tend to use lights kin Yemoja. Just as people are more comfortable in something that looks more like them. Exampls is santacluas and Jesus being represented in the colour of the locals.

Funny story (being sarcastic), my brother married a Brazilian woman (we are white). So, back to my story, after a couple of years being married my brother took a trip to Brazil to meet his wife's extended family. While there in SauPaulo he found out there were 4 very dark skinned adults and 2 dark skinned children (about 10-12 yo) living in the basement who does all the cooking and cleaning and a few other things. Only thing is, they are not paid (other than room in the basement with dirt floor, cement floor is for storage) then they offered one of the women to come back to America to help with the house and coming baby. His wife said yes, my brother refused citing slavery is illegal in the US. This ended up being the reason she divorced him. She said it's normal to have "blackies" as "servants" they house "them" and feed "them". I am wondering if this is truly normal in Brazil.
