Propaganda nonsense. First of all - the idea that the guy who is an uber driver makes his living solely transporting Candomblé worshippers who are being oppressed is a simple fiction. Secondly, Candomblé is alive and kicking in Brazil. It's an extremely vibrant religion - even non-practioners take an interest. Thirdly, the real oppression in Brazil is the incessant violence and gunshots in major cities that mean it is unsafe to go out after dark and frankly not even that safe during the day. Brazil lives effectively under a curfew in many places.

In this last same video, he says that these people of color are useless even to "procreate".
