I kinda doubt that, Portugal/Brasil bought enslaved people from mostly central-west Africa, in like Angola, Congo and Cameroon, it was only after English abolish slavery in 1807 that Brazil took the opportunity to start buying from Nigeria and fill in the space left by the English, especially since Brazil become independent on 1821 and thus they did not buy as much from the territories belonging to Portugal.

As a Nigerian, a country which was colonised by the British (but was initially invaded by the Portuguese), it has not escaped my attention that a significant amount of our ancestors were "transported" against their will to Brazil. However, because of the language barrier, Nigerians tend to associate ourselves more with the black people who live in America and the West Indies than Brazil. I am hoping that in the future new bonds and ties are reestablished between our peoples who share a common heritage i.e. Brazil and Nigeria. In recent years, I have become aware of a growing pilgrimage of Brazilian Ifa worshipers to Osogbo in Yoruba land in Nigeria. Ironically, I have heard that the people from Bahia still celebrate and venerate the Ifa religion more than we do in Nigeria ...... which is a shame on Yorubas in Nigeria (of which I am one).

The Brazilian government classifies all mixed-race Brazilians as "black" this way indigenous descendants cannot claim their rights to Indigenous land which are frequently stolen by the white men, including the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous DNA is also by the millions, in fact during First time census there were more natives then Enslaved as natives were counted as pardos and some white. It's crazy to see that Africans so proud of this erasure of native Brazilian ancestry and happy to believe it's a "whole black country" when what's happened is a major erasure. African people have very little knowledge of the suffering of Indigenous brazilians, they were the first to be Enslaved and it was still happening when Africans arrived, even though later it became a crime to enslave them. It's highly disrespectful of the people who often complain of injustice. Millions of native women were violate and today their descendants are all "black"? This erasure began with the Portuguese labeling "civilized" Indigenous people as white and mixed "pardos". Whites forced agreements and married into tribes and had children with them, while killing non-"civilized" natives. "Civilized" Natives were actually considered vassals of the king of Portugal, black people weren't this was a way to show that they "respected" natives but of course it was just a trick Consequently, today, the government categorizes all mixed-race Brazilians, even those without African ancestry, as black or Afro-Brazilian, denying them rights to indigenous lands, which are highly valuable for the coloniser. Descendants of enslaved people typically have limited land ownership, prompting the government to impose a black identity on all mixed-race Brazilians. However, there is growing resistance to this racial imposition among them.

Brazil never invests same energy into Indigenous DNA Which is huge even black Brazilians Such as player endrick has native blood but Brazil insists they're solely black because black people can't claim they were descendants of first inhabitants, it's all a plan to for the white to rob the land. They say there are only 1 million natives but if the real numbers of descendants were published Many would want to discover who their native ancestors were, which tribe and this would pose a huge problem for the government. So telling everybody they're black they won't face any of this problem but Indigenous ancestry is extremity high

His father has indigenous blood as most black brazilians and mixed brazilians. His DNA is 58% African and 11% Native American, with the rest being white. However, brazilian law considers him fully Black and won't mention his indigenous ancestry. If he traced his indigenous ancestry and identified his tribe, he would be considered afro - indigenous. Brazil has a significant number of Afro-Indigenous people but it's a super tricky process to prove that you're indigenous, you must know your tribe and prove it, the coloniser made it so difficult to claim indigenous ancestry because that's what they wanted, the less who claim native ancestry the more land the white men gra, but anyone can say they're black and no need to prove which tribe. Bahia has the second-largest indigenous population after the Amazon, with indigenous people present throughout Brazil. There are 375 ethnic groups and 200 languages in Brazil but the government wants them all to disappears, officially they say only 1 million but the numbers are way higher majority of brazilians have indigenous blood, but all mixed brazilians known as pardos are being solely classified as "black" even the Amazonians without a drop of black blood, if you look at the women in my videos they're considered "black" according to the law because they're pardos aka mixed but of white and native descent but the law sees all of them as black. This erasure of indigenous ancestry is deliberate. The only Black people who own some land are in Brazil are black quilombolas, who are descendants of escaped enslaved. However, natives and their descendants are entitled to huge tracts of land but if they're counted as "black" they have no rights and that's exactly what the government wants, after a few years they will say there are no more natives or descendants left, so the land like the Amazon belongs to them.

How can one differentiate the Africans who were already there for centuries before trans Atlantic slavery against the ones who were taken there as a result of slavery????

[@masehoart7569]

You are delusional. If there were any, than they would not identify or look anymore African but would have gotten absorbed. Many Europeans, white South Africans or any white population of the American continent have between 4-14% African DNA but they identify as white because this is how they look - this is why white passing is plays such a crucial role in South African and in US history

These people are descendants of quilombolas, as the Amazon region historically received the fewest Africans. This makes them easier to study. However, will the researchers also inform us about the amount of native Brazilian blood in these Afro-descendants? Given that the Amazon has the largest native Brazilian population and intermixing occurred? If they don't then it's another erasure of indigenous ancestry supported by afro activists. These two great people lived and died together

[@nihao7051]

Did you know that black Africans were not 🚫 initially called "black" in Brazil 🇧🇷? The first to be called "black" were enslaved native Brazilians because black meant slave, when Brazil was discovered natives were described as pardos in 1500 which was not black or white, today pardo means mixed. The first "official" language of Brazil wasn't Portuguese but native Tupi. African Enslaved people were called "tapamunhos" by white and natives. With the promulgation of the Indian Directory 1757. It became illegal to call natives black because it was associated with slavery and it was prohibited to enslave them 🚫 But now all their descendants even without black ancestry are all counted as black because the gov want to erase indigenous ancestry and their existence with the support of afro activists. Black arecelebrating this ethnocide when they believe that Brazil is majority "black" thanks to the erasure of native identity.

Not really, people “recusing” their identity by calling themselves “American” is a phenomenon mostly amongst white Americans of English or Scottish descent and often mixed with some Native American ancestry whose families have been in America for so long, they see themselves as being something entirely different than English or Scottish. Or they’re just white and aren’t entirely sure themselves where their families are from. I’ve met some white Americans refer to themselves as such, but never black Americans (which btw is increasingly the preferred label, not African-American).
