Kanu you have to explain this. Why are you all letting White people use and exploitclaimyou like that.
The one to blame for this is the brazilian "pro-black" movement who claim mixed/pardo people as black. They love saying "we are the majority", "the country is 52% black/negro" when in fact black people are no more than 20% of the population.Kanu you have to explain this.

Makes perfect sense. They claim it for political reasons but thought wise they are as blanco as can be.The one to blame for this is the brazilian "pro-black" movement who claim mixed/pardo people as black. They love saying "we are the majority", "the country is 52% black/negro" when in fact black people are no more than 20% of the population.
What you see in the pictures are "whites" who self identify as pardo, they are just playing the game...
Something the English didn't have and, in my opinion, was the greatest weapon the spaniards/portuguese used to kill black people mentally down here, was Catholicism.The root causes is what I look at. The Portuguese and the Spaniards were far better at mentally destabalizing the black mind than the English (Americans). This is the result of their 500 year mind f*ck vs our 500 year mind f*ck.
I can tell you this. Black American culture is the one thing Blacks in other countries cling to for pride. I can tell you that first hand.
I've been in countries where Blacks are seen as the lowest class of people and when they see American blacks they get a sense of pride. I have witnessed this first hand. The same to some extent even in Brazil. 100s if not 1000s of American brothas go to Rio and other Brazilian cities. We can discuss 'why' they go at another time...lol...but for many black Brazilians its the first time they see unapologetic black people in hotels alongside foreign whites, moving with swag with no deference to white people. Black people who see themselves as good or better than any white Brazilian or European. Trust me on this the local blacks LOVE this and get a sense of pride and this is duplicated in various places ALL OVER THE WORLD.
We are the hope, those of us in America. It's where white supremacy has to be fought and won (via reparations, etc,) for the fight in earnest to be picked up elsewhere.
I will say this the pro Black movement in Brazil, specifically in black areas like Bahia, Salvador in the north is way better than it was 10 or 20 years ago. The internet has made it so. Brazilians would have no idea about something like the '92 riots in LA, but they would see it instantly live now if it happened today. HUGE difference.

Kanu you have to explain this. Why are you all letting White people claim you like that.
Don't laugh; it's happening to us, too. Some first and second generation immigrants call themselves Black Americans. Some of them are trying to shoehorn themselves into our reparations claim. Others are using their voice as "Black Americans" to state that we don't need reparations. That tweet about what is happening in Brazil is actually a warning to Foundational Black Americans/Freedmen.
