General Info

Half of the Brazilian population have darker skin colour. They make up 62% of the prison population and 78% of those killed by Brazilian police. Considering they make up the majority of the criminals it's not surprising they are also in the majority of those being killed by police.

I've never been robbed in Brazil, but I witnesses many robberies, I can't recall I've seen more than a few lightskinned perpetrators. It could be because the light skinned perpetrators do other types of crimes. Crimes that doesn't end up in shooting when they get caught. The crime gangs in the favelas are mostly made up of darker guys. When police attack those gangs there is a lot of shooting, and a lot of those guys die.

Some of them ought to shot. After all, a lot of them are the same ones ordering that those in the favelas be.

Yes, there is racism in Brazil.

But if anything, it appears to me there is less racism in Brazil -- not more, than here up North. I mean, 6 years ago I wouldn't have been so sure, but oh well.

Anyway, this is my impression after 20 years of traveling to Brazil, but what do I know?

I know, not a laughing matter, but here is a great Porta dos Fundos clip on the topic.

It's NOT going to HAPPEN!

Nice suggestion though and I did give it some thought, but I'm going to have to give it a HARD pass, on your notion.

Outrage? ...No more so than I could stop being incensed and outraged, by the injustice of the targeted attacks of war on the Ukraine, by Russia.

Or for that matter, whatever or wherever, police brutality, racist, discriminatory attacks and/or killings are being exacted upon [b]a targeted group of people, albeit in the flipping [i]"The Congo"[/i] [/b] (if that just so happens to be a place I monger).

If reputable news and journalists, report news worthy stories, that reflect the places, we hobby in, then I for one, WILL CONTINUE to report said information, as it may (or may not) impact hobbying decisions, preconceived beliefs, concepts or ideas w/r to said destination, thereby making it of use to some members who value multiple socio-economic-political points of views, into the community, culture, society and governing policies of said mongering destination.

[i]What I can tell you is this[/i], that I will endeavour to post in the more appropriate threads. But I'm only human and so prone to occasional slippage from time to time.

Look, [B]police brutality[/B] is just one example. It could be [I]"underwater basket weaving"[/I] for all I care. I encourage BMs to post ("appropriately") anything news worthy or entertainingly appropriate.

News reports/articles they deem relevant for their intended audiences, as naturally, such things will be liked, disliked, scrutinized, criticized, judged, held up for ridicule, or championed. [i]Such is the nature of our ISG forum.[/i]

Don't like it, as always I suggest [B]respectfully,[/b] please feel free to [b]IGNORE the [i]"appropriately placed outrages".[/i][/b]

[QUOTE=Spidy;2724236]Create all the bullshit scenarios you want, if that make you feel better. The actual data on the subject, says otherwise.

[B] 57% of Brazilians are Black or mixed, but they make up 80% of the people killed by police. [/B]

Yet to see this "vast majority" data you've crooked up, to go alone with the "bunch of random Black dudes. ".[/QUOTE]What does one have to do with the other? Maybe they do 80% of the fucking up. The only thing being a certain percentage of the population means is that you are a certain percentage of the population; nothing else!

Black people are 13% of the population of the USA. The NBA is 74% Black people. What does that say about anything? Black people spend more time in basketball gyms practicing than Whites, Hispanics, and Asians? The NBA is racist because how could 13% of the population be 74% of the employees at a company except for racism? What does it mean oh wise one?

Theres racism everywhere and everyone is racist up to an extent.... one form or another.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2725992]What does one have to do with the other? Maybe they do 80% of the fucking up ...[/QUOTE]Oh brother, here we go again...Arrrrrrrh!

Didn't we all just finish talking about posting appropriately?

Since you insist on on posting wacky bullshit comparisons, may I [b]STRONGLY suggest[/b] you take this post of yours over to [b]"Stupid Shit in Brazil"[/b], where you'll either find your answers, or it will die the peaceful death it deserves.

I spent two wonderful months in Rio when I left the USAF in late 1985/ early 1986 and got laid so many times I lost count in the termas and just meeting regular girls on Copacabana and the other beaches including a special busty blonde Argentinian of Italian descent that I remain in contact with to this day. One of the things I noticed back then was the preponderance of mixed race couples. I mean ALL races, Black, White, Hispanic, Indian and Asian (lots of Asians in Sao Paulo). I remember thinking "finally a place where there is no racism". I dated quite a few beautiful dark skinned beauties. I happen to be white and German-American descent. The only crime I experienced there was someone stole my headset and cassette player right off my head while I fell asleep on Copacabana beach after a hard night of partying. I have no idea what color their skin is and don't care. I don't doubt your statistics are correct and we have similar stats in the USA if not even more prevalent in the prisons. I don't know why there has to be racism. It is such a stupid thing to me. Anyway thanks to anyone who read my blast from the past. I'm 66 now retired on Negros Oriental Island in the Philippines and contemplating marriage with a beautiful, busty 21 year old Filipina studying to be a physical education teacher. I will always have fond memories of Brasil, tho. Gostaza Brasil.

It must have been great to experience Rio in 1985. My first visit was 1991. Good times, more slimmer girls and much less silicon tits and no enhanced asses.

Of course racism exist in Brazil and those with darker skin color suffers more. However, racism goes both ways. Twice in Brazil I've felt people disliking my "white" color (quite silly to say white as nobody has white skin color, paper is white). The first time was when I was invited to a birthday party at the home of a girl I was dating when studying at PUC. The girl was one of the few black students at PUC (and as a side note she hade huge natural tits, among the best tits I ever seen). I wasn't really interested to go to the birthday party at her home, but as she was very hot and I wanted to take her virginity I sacrificed myself. Everyone at the party were black upper class people, doctors, dentist, lawyers etc. When my GF brought me to the party everyone were polite but obviously not satisfied with her BF being white and also a gringo. The second time was in Salvador. I met a absolutely stunningly beautiful and tall girl. She was very dark black. This girl also lost her virginity to me and was really romantic and wanted to walk hand-in-hand everywhere we went. She caught a lot of attention when walking on the streets. We walked together during the carnival in Salvador. The majority of the the pipoca were black people. Lots of gangs with thug looking guys. I got a lot of really angry looks from those guys who obviously didn't appreciate a white gringo walking together with a very hot black girl.

[b]FWIW[/b] and not wanting to clutter the "Gen. Info" with crime and racism chit chat, I've posted/responded in the [b] "Rio de Janeiro - Crime & Safety" [/b] thread.

May not get "eyeballs", but perhaps more "appropriate", perhaps not. Who the heck, can tell these days?...kkkk

Is Brazil Dangerous?

[URL]https://youtu.be/voTK4uHkros[/URL]

I find this youtube channel is awesome!

Has anyone tried ecstasy in Brazil? It is supposed to be good for going to raves and fucking.

There was a discussion regarding using cash vs credit card in the São Paulo thread. In Brazil I only use credit card when withdrawing money from ATMs or when buying flight tickets online. Otherwise I never pay anything in Brazil using a credit card.

My reasons for using cash, besides the risk of skimming, are that cash is accepted everywhere and also because you often get a lower price using cash. When I check in at a hotel in Brazil I always negotiate the rate and almost always get a discount, specially when I offer to pay with cash. In privées I don't negotiate the price, but often they have a cheaper price when paying cash.

In Brazil they always had problems giving change. Because of this I always make sure I have between 50-100 bills of 2, 5, 10 and 20 reais bills when travelling in Brazil. You can just enter a bank and change to the bills you want. It might not be useful for those staying one week, but it's very handy if you stay for a longer time.

Just enter a bank, wait an hour or three, or maybe all day, and change to the bills you want.
