Why do politicians earn exorbitant salaries? Only because they rule a country deserve earn exorbitant salaries. When did this tradition start?

Lightway:
Around 56% of Brazilians identify as Black—the largest population of African descent outside of Africa—yet Black people make up just 18% of congress, 4.7% of executives in Brazil's 500 largest companies, 75% of murder victims and 75% of those killed by police.

Brazil have the second largest black in the world outside Africa after U.S and African Brazilians have a low representation in the companies, media and the politic but this attempt to inflate the black population in Brazil is ridiculous. 40% of Brazilians identify themselves mixed race ( mulattos, zambos, and trirracial) and 16% declare themselves black. Brazilian president put blacks and mixed race people in the same category and claim that 56% of them declare themselves "black" like a forced one drop rule imported for U.S.
I don't understand why people have to keep shoving it down people's throats that almost 60% of Brazil's population is black if there are millions of Brazilians with an Amerindian phenotype here like these mixed race Brazilians girls.

MrBrownJay1:


very true... Bolsonaro may not have been the best president while running the country but he was the only one never affected by corruption while Lula and all his cabinet and associates were neck deep corrupted to the bone.

regardless of who governs Brazil is a shameful country i'm so sad of the situation and this future of this country. The majority of Brazil population is stupid and ignorant, elect and reelect corrupt politicians, are conivent with the corruption and the nepotism. There is no political culture in this country. The population vote in exchange for political positions, food baskets, who the relatives vote for.

Ityoveremo:

Well, I don't know for a fact if he stole Brazilian money but on average, I think I prefer him to bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro is a champion to some very intolerant evangelical christians. Same as Trump.
And while I think Christianity is the truth,I don't support forcefully changing people's beliefs. Particularly indigenous and non-violent beliefs.

His refusal to accept defeat in the election(like trump) which caused unnecessary chaos in the country,made me like his politics even less

Lula is not different than Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro expel your racism and Lula pretend enjoy African Brazilians. Lula utilize populist actions to seduze african Brazilians and minoritiies. Because the majority of african and indigenous Brazilians are poor ( unfortunately) and don't have many opinion. therefore the perfect supporters of Lula politicial party. Evangelical christians enjoy the morals and good manners. If Brazil was ruled by evangelical christians the country don't became this lowliness and vulgarity. I'm not evangelical christian but i support them in many things.

opamoses1:
The wife of President Lula Da Silva thanked Olodumare for Ooni’s visit to the federal capital territory, she said our father has come to see his children in Brazil.

Satan fooling the fools. Which apparently are many in Nigeria.

Ityoveremo:
The woman and her husband are practicing Catholics, they aren't adherents of orisa.

But lula is a liberal. He is very tolerant of indigenous religions(African and native American) and the LGBTQ as opposed to the former president(bolsonaro) who was a hero to the nation's intolerant evangelicals.

The evangelicals hated indigenous religions and wanted them outlawed.

Lula is a evil creature. He is a fucking bastard. Apparently many Nigerians are naive and stupid like Brazilians to believe in him. He stole billions of Brazil but was acquitted by the corrupt Brazilian justice.

Finally a sensible attitude from this despicable creature

That is wrong and i expect that that those responsible are punished. But the international media ignored totally when:
- When Lula created a lot of social benefits who are paid by the taxpayer Brazilians.
- When Lula forced Brazil to pay Mozambique's debts.
- When Lula created a law imposing that the African Brazilian population is the sum of mixed race Brazilians and African Brazilians
- When Lula defend criminals

The media only speaks when a leftist is attacked. When a leftist makes a mistake, the media shuts up

Razoul:


Yeah, I know. Also, let's be honest, who will really govern will be his vice

Yes. Brazilian vice president Geraldo Alckmin is corrupt also. He was the worst governor of the richest state of Brazil. Don't understand nothing about economy or rule a country. Awesome don't you think. Lula put a jerk to rule Brazil.

Razoul:

Kek, so what? Do you think that Lula will be better? Dude is a globalist puppet, he will sell Amazon for countries like France and USA.

Lula is a despreciable creature. He is false and corrupt. He don't care about Amazon jungle. He is not better than Bolsonaro. Leftist media portrays Lula the father of poor Brazilians, the best president of the century. But they are lies. Only poor people with low education support him. And Lula only won because offer more asistencialism. In Brazil a lot of people don't like work and enjoy survive by the money of the taxpayer. We call them parasites of the state. Parasites of the state don't understand that social benefit is a temporary help. They think that the state has an eternal obligation to support them. For this reason Lula won with 90% of votes in poorest states of Brazil.

Brazilians only elect stupid politicians and after this they are victims of the same stupid politicians who elect

People can claim to be anything just to win an arguement. Soon you will claim to be God who create language.


I've already said I'll no longer reply your mention.

Let me give you the joy. You're correct, you win the argument. Yoruba is not a spoken language in Brazill.. the wikipedia page was fake and the information was false. I'm sorry for indicating that Yoruba is spoken beyond Southwest Nigeria. You should be glad now.

You're are right. I will suggest to Brazilian president Lula change the official language of Brazil to creole or yorubá. And change the name of the country for the black african republic of Brazil is awesome name also. The Congolese republic of Brazil. We could kill all white and mixed race Brazilians too. To make Brazil a real black country. What do you think? Brazil is not a Latin american country, or a multiethnic country after all.

SMH

You`re so ignorant. I`m Brazilian and you trying discuss with me. I`m fluently in portuguese. Portuguese is my native language bro.The only word in portuguese who caracterized official language is lingua oficial. The article in portuguese don`t say lingua oficial. See the original article in portuguese.

Classificação de línguas como patrimônio linguístico ou cultural ( linguist heritage or cultural heritage).

The main language of Bahians is Portuguese, but it is influenced to some extent by African and various indigenous languages. Roman Catholicism is professed by the overwhelming majority of the population.
https://www.britannica.com/place/Bahia

UncleAyo:

Am I the one who write the wikipedia page that indicated Yoruba as an official Language?

facepalm. The article talk about linguistic heritage. Linguistic heritage and official languages are different things bro. Different words. Linguist heritage are languages who are spoken for inmigrants and their descendants. Brazil is not a African country to institute an African language as official. Only african countries institute African languages as official or co-official ok? Brazil is not a entirely black country to consider this ridiculous hypothesis.

UncleAyo:


"Some Brazillian states and municipalities." Check the wikipedia page again or look at the picture upload. Let's not start looking for issue where there is none.

If you see good things about other people, appreciate it please.

The only official language in all Brazilians states are portuguese. The list don't show the official languages. But the spoke languages. Only 3% of Brazil population practice african inspired traditions. That means only 3% of Brazil speak yorubá. The media portrays Bahia a african state in Brasil but the african heritage is only predominantly in Salvador ( the capital). 50% of the state population are black, 20% white, 20% mulatto, 5% indigenous and 5% asian. The state have a huge porcentage of descendant of spaniards and amerindians. But the media never show them. The majority of the state population are catholic . Almost only 5% of the state population speak yorubá

UncleAyo:

Yoruba is official language in some Brazillian states and municipalities. Yoruba vocabulary is also used in the Afro-Brazilian religion known as Candomblé, in the Caribbean religion of Santería in the form of the liturgical Lucumí language and various Afro-American religions of North America.

Oh my god.. The list don't show the official languages of Brazil. They only shows the languages who are utilized in Brazil. Neither Haiti nor Jamaica completely black countries establish African languages as official. why do you suppose that Brazil who are one the most multicultural countries in the world compose by asians, whites, blacks, triracial people, asians, indigenous establish African languages as official?

Ertugrul:
You said Lula is not a white man, what race is he then? He looks white or maybe is he mixed white plus native?, I wish his government all the best, hopefully he can unite the country and continue moving it forward.

Who say that Lula is not white? Lula is definitely white. He is pale like a ghost.

I love how come Brazilians politicians fight for the power and the money and the citizens are irrelevant for them

walkbrazil4k:


This is racism.

That is not racism. That is realism. Brazil offer free condoms and free anticonceptives. For this reason Brazil birth rate is so low 1,70 children per women. And a lot of poor families have 4,5,6 children. These families ask for donations, they ask for social benefits. I don't generalize. Not all poor Brazilians who recceives social assistence look like this. But a lot of them are.. Northeast Brazil have 53 millions of people and they only produce 14% of the country's gross domestic product. How come 53 millions of people only produce 14% of the country's gross domestic product? I don't hate the North and Northeast Brazil. It is past time for the Northeast and the North to prosper.The mayors of the cities, the governors of northeast Brazilian states are paid for this. They are paid to fiscalizate.

walkbrazil4k:


We already have a winner, ,You have changed your tone? This was the same thing I was telling you last time and you refused to listen because you support Bolsonaro, it is good that you have actually accepted defeat, I was right when I said I won't take sides in the election, we just need someone that would improve our lives,we need cheap food like it was before when akilo of chicken was 5reais, I work from Monday-Saturday and yes we all Need cheap food, I won't die for any politician, I can only gladly die for BRAZIL.

That is not because i support Bolsonaro. I'm angry because this years we had a lot of candidates. six candidates. And the people prefer Lula.
The pathetic and disgusting Lula. the idiot who offer social social benefits to support the children of scoundrels, vagabonds, etc... that is the reason Brazil is a shithole country and we have a horrible life. Congratulations for stupid Brazilians.

That is outrageous. Lula support dictators like Nicolas Maduro and Daniel Ortega. Lula support African dictators. Lula offer social benetifs paid with our taxes. And the stupid people vote for him. I don't believe in this. Brazilians are very stupid and indoctrinated. This corrupt idiot come back again. Third world countries are a such disgrace. That is the reason our countries are shithole underdeveloped and poor. Because shitholians only prefer corrupt politicians.

walkbrazil4k:

If Lula was so bad why do they want him back?

Because he offer social benetifts for poor Brazilians. Social benetifts who are pay with our taxes. A lot of poor Braziians have 4,5 children. Brazil offer free condoms and free contraceptive pills. A lot of idiots don't care about this. Brazil have a lot of poverty and unemployment rate. For this reason stupid Brazilian politicians created "social benetifts". And they don't reduce the exorbitant salary of Brazilian politicians. the benefits are paid with the taxpayer's tax. Unfortunately Lula don't quote this detail.

Bolsa Família (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈbowsɐ fɐˈmiʎɐ], Family Allowance) is a social welfare program of the Government of Brazil, part of the Fome Zero network of federal assistance programs. Bolsa Família provided financial aid to poor Brazilian families

the benefit are paid with the taxpayer's tax.

North and Northeast Brazil always destroying the country. The poorest regions of the country support Lula. They are poor due the corruption and only choose corrupt politicians. I don't generalize all north and northeast Brazilians but such stupid region.
PT ruled the country for 16 years. And for 16 years northeast Brazil states are the last places in human development. I support separation. They should let the South, Southeast, and Midwest create a country. And the North and Northeast ruled by Lula and living in poverty.
Lula is popular because uses poverty to stay in power. Lula offer 116 dollars and more 11 dollars for children up to 6 years ( of social benefit) The northeast are the poorest region of Brazil. A lot of the population survive by social benefits. For this reason he is so popular in the poorest regions. A lot of the citizens are accommodated with social assistance.

I don't care who wins. I want changes. I want a good public health, i want job, i want security, i want the politicians raise the minimum wage
He's going to spend another 4 years earning an exorbitant salary to don't change nothing.
