In Germany here, there are racist but they'll pretend to like you.

Specially if your black

Eastcoastboy:
Nice country, it's in my bucket list of countries to visit.

walkbrazil4k:


Nice one, you would enjoy Brazil especially if you love to party like there is no Tomorrow

Eastcoastboy:


Can you make money there too? Like enough that you can use to start up something in Nigeria. Like build houses, register and establish business.

walkbrazil4k:


You can but it would take a while let's say 5 years or more to save up to build a house in Nigeria and remember the pay as not as big as the usa but with the pay in brazil you can live your life comfortably

Eastcoastboy:


That's good. But I will rather visit as a tourist. Well I really don't know, depends on what the future holds.

What do you call the killing of black Brazilians by the police, is that not racism?

please dear brother can you send me an invitation, I will like to come there.

Moise Kabagambe, a 24-year-old migrant who fled to Brazil with his family in 2011 to escape violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was beaten to death with clubs and a baseball bat at the beach-front bar where he worked in Rio's upscale Barra da Tijuca neighborhood.

His family says a group of assailants attacked him after he demanded payment of two days' overdue wages.

The January 24 killing has unleashed a flood of outrage, grief and soul-searching in Brazil, where many African migrants say they face poverty, violence and double discrimination as both foreigners and blacks.

Luis Fernandes Jr. is a post-grad student...A few years ago, he moved across the Atlantic to study in Brazil. He chose the city of Salvador. Its population is mostly Black.

.....he thought he'd feel at home in Salvador's Afro-Brazilian culture. The other day, he went shopping and found out he was wrong.

....he went to a fashion store in a mall and bought a backpack. After paying with a card, he left the shop and went to a bathroom nearby.

....There, he was accosted by two security guards. They accused him, he says without evidence, of stealing the backpack. A furious Fernandes returned to the store.

....Black activists say incidents like this are common in Brazil.

However, data from 2016 show that black people only occupy around 6% of managerial positions and get paid an average 44% less overall.

"Here there is this racial democracy myth where everyone, regardless of their skin tone, can be welcomed. And that's fake," Ms Genot says.

Mr Nujara found it very challenging being a black man trying to forge a career in public relations. His impression is that black people have a much better chance at international companies with premises in the country.

....people were constantly surprised he was black when they eventually met him in person. The assumption from phone calls and emails was that someone in his position, fluent in French and English, must be white.

Black and mixed-race Brazilians make up a little over half of the general population, but constitute 79% of people killed by law enforcement in a country that averages an extraordinary 17 police killings per day.

...Ana Paula de Oliveira, a mother and activist whose son entered into those daily statistics after he was shot in the back in 2014, said there is a pattern of violence against Brazilians who are poor and Black.

"Those of us who live in the favelas see this violence daily: a slap when police frisk you, breaking into your house without a warrant. And if I question it, I get beaten up," she said of daily life in Rio de Janeiro's low-income communities.

....More than 40% of Black and mixed-race Brazilians live below the poverty line, compared to less than 20% of White Brazilians, according to the Brazilian census bureau (IBGE).

What do you call police killing of Nigerians?

walkbrazil4k:


in Brazil, I feel at home because I know I can get justice if someone uses a racial slur on me.

Originalsly:


Are you sure you can get justice if someone uses a racial slur on you? ... have any example of such a case?

1. In the US you also don't know who is American from who is a foreigner. A White man tells a Latino to go back to his country... and what is the Latino's response? If it's in Texas ... Arizona or a State that was previously part of Mexico ... the Latino will reply I am in my country... or... you go back to your country too. Not knowing who is a foreigner does not make a State non racist.

2. You don't need in the US either. Does that make the US/Brazil a non racist State? In most countries foreigners are treated better ... shown more love than locals. Same holds true for Nigeria.

3. Racism is in the Constitution ... making it illegal... no doubt.... is it enforced? Can you post examples of enforcement?

Enforcement is everything..... have examples?

Well, Nigerian police have their bad sides but they are nothing compared to the Brazilian police raid killings especially in Rio favela.

Bifwoli:
Every damned country in the world ...Russia,India ,Nigeria,USA , France ,Mali ,China,Israel...has some form of racism including Brazil.

We recently saw how Africans were treated in Ukraine vs Russia war and even these two warring European countries have some racist views towards each other despite calling themselves "Slavs"

Juntos:
I sincerely hope that one day my fellow Nigerians will see the need to help develop this beautiful country and make it work like other great countries out there, rather than be pleasantly appreciating other countries and doing jobs that we will never do in Nigeria, taking shit that we will never accept in Nigeria. But all in all it is not a bad idea to travel round the world or work and live in other countries in as much as you giving a good account of yourself, family and the country you are from. Please let remember all that Nigeria as given us all a lot we have an obligation to make it better place by touching lives of family and friends back home. God bless us all, God bless Nigeria.

Samishiba:
Brazil is a racist country. Ocurre a lot of racial injuries in Brazil. Many white Brazilians racially attacked black Brazilians. For example during a discussion a white brazilian called a black brazilian employer a monkey. This is common here. But for example of 43% of white Brazilians only 5- 10% do this. It's one case or another. It doesn't happen every day. They are isolated cases.

You guys should try to understand what the op is saying..He didn't say there is no racism in Brazil but he said that it is not as huge when compared to countries like US...That racism is even a crime punishable according to Brazilian consistution.
