A photo of the young man and his family.

It was a Saturday, July 31. Oliveira and his father, Ronaldo Marques, took a bus to the Salgueiro favela, also located in Rio’s North Zone, where the boy’s aunt lives. The trip’s purpose was to pick up a basket of basic foodstuffs. Soon after meeting up with family members, Oliveira went to a bar near his aunt’s house, where a party was going on, to meet his cousin. Everyone was suddenly caught off guard by a police raid, which caused fear and confusion, with bombs, gunshots, and shrapnel raining down. Fragments hit the young man’s face. Despite his injury, Oliveira realized his 14-year-old cousin had been shot in the leg. When he tried to assist her, a bomb went off right next to him.

“It all happened very fast, then I helped my cousin and we took her to the hospital in the police car. A few hours later, inside the hospital, I was told that I couldn’t go home, and that I had to go to the police station to give a statement because I was being accused by the officers of having been involved in the shooting. Apparently, they wanted to blame and arrest someone. I’m not sure if they get any kind of bonus for that kind of thing, but that’s the feeling I got at the time.”

Oliveira’s teenage cousin was hospitalized, underwent surgery on her leg and was discharged a few days later. His retired father, Ronaldo, began to experience high blood pressure after his son’s unjustified arrest.

“My father was traumatized. I can’t go anywhere without him panicking; he worries. He always thinks that what happened is going to happen again. Now he needs to undergo all sorts of tests, because his blood pressure is always fluctuating. This has upset our family in many ways.”

Times had been hard enough for Oliveira, who lost his mother six years ago to stomach cancer. Leaving behind his dream of becoming a soccer player to work as a salesman and help support his family, Oliveira considered taking the exam to join the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro to offer his loved ones a better life. Before being incarcerated, he would wake up early every day and leave home at three in the morning for Barra da Tijuca, where he worked as a stock boy. After his arrest, his employers were so concerned about his fate that they sent his work documentation to the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice, which ignored the legal paperwork during his preliminary hearing.

The racism, humiliation, prejudice, ill-treatment, and verbal abuse endured in places of deprivation of liberty, revealed to Oliveira the reality of the Brazilian prison system. The young man stayed in a tiny cell with over 30 prisoners, one of whom was infected with tuberculosis. “The cell was the size of this bedroom,” he said, using his cell phone camera to show a room holding a single wardrobe and a bunk bed in which he sleeps with his four-year-old son, Miguel. It was specifically the love for his son and the support of his family that motivated Oliveira to keep the faith during his days in jail.

Oliveira had never been in a prison before. After being arrested, in six days, he went through two different ones: Casa de Custódia de Benfica, in the North Zone, and Cadeia Pública Tiago Teles de Castro Domingues, in the city of São Gonçalo, in Greater Rio. Unlike what he had always imagined, and seen on TV, while there Oliveira felt supported precisely by those deprived of their liberty: “I still don’t know what to say, because I was humiliated by the State, which is supposed to protect people. But inside that dreadful place, I felt embraced by the people who were jailed. They told me, ‘My man, you’re going to get out of this. Have faith and believe in yourself. God is just.'” Pain and sorrow come through clearly in Oliveira’s watery gaze. They are the eyes of someone who demands justice and the end of mass incarceration. The young man asks for freedom and justice for people who, like him, have been unjustly deprived of social contact:

“In addition to wanting to prove my innocence, I need to tell you to look after innocent people like me who are inside. There’s a young guy there whose mother has been crying for over a year. He’s innocent and has no way of proving it. I [got out and] came home, but his mother goes there all the time, even tough she is in no condition to do that. I’m shaken by everything I’ve seen.”
.
.
.
Sometimes, not even this evidence is sufficient to prove the innocence of black men, who are still convicted and imprisoned. Black men have been taught since childhood to always carry their identification papers, even if all they are doing is crossing the street to go to the bakery across from their homes. Many have heard their mothers say, “Boy, take your ID in case the police stop you. Take your ID so they don’t think you’re a thief.”

Brazil national team coach Tite said on Wednesday that there is deep-rooted systemic prejudice against Black managers in the country.

The Brazilian top flight currently has one Black coach, Marcao, of Fluminense, after he replaced Roger Machado at the post this past summer. In 2019, they were the only two Black coaches in the top flight.

Marcao, in an interview with Folha de S. Paulo last week, set off a public debate when he spoke about the lack of opportunities for Black coaches in Brazil. On Wednesday, Tite echoed Marcao's words.

"I will take a stand. I have fought and fought my entire life against my own ignorance. I tried to read, learn and study. And I keep trying. I fight against hypocrisy because we cannot pretend it does not exist. So I am answering even when it is uncomfortable. There is indeed a prejudice. And it is ingrained, deeply rooted, systemic, yes,'' Tite said. ''What I can say is that I have huge respect for Roger Machado and he is perhaps, one of the greatest athletes I have worked with.

"The way he carries himself, his professional knowledge, for the good and bad moments, he is one of the professionals I have the most respect for. We must fight against prejudice, because it's real against Black managers and, perhaps, we must amplify this battle to a bigger picture in social contexts."

In 2019, as manager of Bahia, Roger Machado started a public debate about the struggles and disparities that Black people suffer in Brazil.

"We have to reflect and question ourselves. If there is no prejudice in Brazil, why do Black people have a lower level of education than white people? Why is it that 70% of people in jail are Black? Why are young Black people the ones who die the most in Brazil? Why do Black people receive lower salaries?" Machado said. "All of these are symptoms because the social structure is racist."

Last week, Marcao told Folha that there are fewer opportunities for Black coaches in Brazil, mentioning two other Black managers who have not had a chance at the top level -- Cristovao Borges and Jorge Luis Andrade.

Andrade was the last Black coach to win the Brazilian championship with Flamengo in 2009, but the 62-year-old has not coached any top-flight teams since then.

"Today I am happy to be representing Blacks [in the league], I feel proud to talk about it, but on the other hand, we need to think", said Marcao.

"Where is Cristóvao [Borges]? Andrade, who was Brazilian champion and never had another opportunity? It makes no sense. In any other situation, he would be managing another team.

"Why does this happen? Because we are Black? Name one coach who was champion of any country [and has disappeared]. Where is [Andrade]?" Marcao said.

"Cristóvao Borges has not been a manager since 2020 when after seven games in charge of Atlético-GO, he was fired with four wins, two draws, and one loss -- a 66% record. Before that, he had not coached since 2017.

"Andrade had only one opportunity to coach at an elite club in 2009, when he led Flamengo to the Brazilian League title and was considered the best coach that year, but was fired by the following year. After that, he only received opportunities in smaller clubs and without much success.

"These facts make it clear that there is a resistance [against Black managers], but my club is an example, it fights against this," Marcao said.

Leader of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers with a perfect record, Brazil takes on Venezuela on Thursday.

Brazil will be missing star playmaker Neymar, who will be serving a suspension due to accumulated yellow cards, and midfielder Casemiro, who has a tooth infection.

Venezuela has scored only four points in World Cup qualifying and will be missing several players because of injuries and requests from their clubs for them not to travel to South America due to COVID-19 protocols.

After the match against Venezuela, Brazil faces Colombia on Sunday and Uruguay next Thursday.

South african As* or egypt babes

South African women seem kind of ratchet to me. I mean they're pretty, but they remind me of black Americans.

Egyptian women look like men.

You need a bus like this, my guy.

Senegalese and Angolan women are gorgeous. Kenyan women seem cool.

Use it to haul goods for people.

McStoic:
He is a matured son but still lives under the same roof with his parents and still gets fed by them?

Only poor people and bad parents make an issue out of this.

He's not established in his career or married. It's perfectly acceptable and sensible to be under his parents' roof.

You can also tire them out. Find a big open field. Challenge them to a bunch of races. They'll go home and be like

lol My guy, clip your toenails, and put some lotion on your feet.

If they still look, maybe your feet look "different" or maybe they're so big that women are doing calculations.

People need to recognize that there isn't one definition of success.

I could care less about "luxury" items or losers' approval. Ew.

Don't waste your energy. He's a clown, so let him deal with the consequences of that. Let his clothes be dirty and his belly empty. When reality sinks in, he'll grow up.

It's stúpidity and immaturity.

Some people love their job, but the pay is not enough. While others dislike what they do, yet they stay in there for the Paycheck

In both situation, money is constant

This bring about the question: If you have all the money that you'll ever need to live your dream life, will you still work your current job?

If your answer is yes, congrats

However, if your answer is no, mehn... you're slaving away

A better question is, would you want to live in a world where instead of doing the jobs that need to be done, people only did what was "fun" or what they "felt like" doing?

I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a cave.

Respectfully.

Some people need to change their definition of what makes their job fulfilling. Some people also need to recognize their own immaturity.

Every day at work isn't going to feel like a party, even if you're doing something you love. That's life. Deal with it and muscle through.

And it's pretty immature (and kind of ignorant) to view your job as some kind of toy that you discard for something new when you're "bored."

If you feel "unfulfilled," maybe it's because you choose to approach your job in a lazy way. Find better and more interesting ways to do your job and add value. Look for opportunities to do related side projects, or present proposals to create projects. Do more training and try to advance.

If it's really not for you, then put in the work of creating your own job/business or switching careers. But something tells me the people that whine don't have the work ethic to do that.

Glycolite:
You're not recognise as a human being ,if as a male you're not providing .

A standard created by men. Men also actively try to prevent women from being providers because their fragile identity is threatened by the simple act of a woman financially providing for herself. Furthermore, men want women to be poor, desperate, and struggling for survival so they can hopefully exploit and control them. So stop crying.

You're deem useless,if as a man, you're not living up to the societal standard of a responsible man.

All adults are expected to be responsible. Stop crying.

A woman is not judge on such.
You're all appreciated and loved for just existing ,but you still claim victims.

Sexism reduces women to "things" rather than people. It is men who push this idea that a woman's role is being a nice "thing."

I'm sorry your standards for a nice life are so low and ignorant that you aspire to be treated like a farm animal.

should be a man for a week,and have a taste of how really tough life is for an average man out there.

How would the average man deal with having their humanity, competence, and safety challenged constantly? How would they deal with their boss, professor, and potential employers demanding intercourse in exchange for survival? Stop crying.

feelgoodstuffs:
Men go soon start their own. #NobodylikeMen

Rent, Utility bills, school fees, family stress etc

You're complaining about a definition of manhood created by men.

You're complaining about adult, genderless responsibilities.

You're complaining when women are blocked by men from going out and earning.

It sounds like the girl needs a safe place to sleep at night, and your son (since you raised him well) wants to provide that. Try getting to know her instead of making assumptions.

You can either be someone who judges her and possibly mistreats her in a time of need, or someone who helps her go down the right path.

This girl could be the things you fear, but she could also just be someone less fortunate than your family.

Be open-minded, but careful.

Let us know how it works out.

He sounds like a oyinbo. Then again, he's not a black man.

Actually, I think I changed my mind. China's actions likely won't stop with Taiwan. They're ídiots. Instead of focusing on business and development, they want to flex power they don't have. So they'll likely launch into more war like they did for millennia. They'll go after all of SEA. Maybe the US sees that, and will use Taiwan to calm them down.

Chinese are truly dūmb though. The only reason they even have what they have is because oyinbos gave them their manufacturing industry on a silver platter. If they had sense, they would focus on building themselves into a real developed nation. But they're truly losers.

They absolutely could. And that's not even taking Australian and UK support into consideration. The question is why would they, and if that's enough to make them.

Another question is if Taiwan wants to formally break from China or continue dealing with military drama, furthermore, if they do, how will they defend themselves without a US base there.
