  • I have been following the election in Brazil and no the Brazilian population is not over 50% black. That's a common misconception. Just google it and you'll be surprised.

    Fascism is escalating. I don't know why we keep voting for the people who show so much hate and intolerance. And how they managed to get Lula out of the race is simply disgusting.

    • Over 50% of our population is made up of blacks and pardos (mixed race). If you want to get technical less than 10% identify themselves as black, but over 40% identify as pardo - which basically means over 50% of the population is made up of non-whites.

      And, yes, it's been disgusting. Just as Dilma's impeachment/coup was. :/

      • The world is shrinking exponentially. I don't know what lies ahead but it looks scary.
