How Black Is Brazil?

[sophiaguedesdemelo]

I’m Brazilian and my family is all black

[lavellemcfadden]

Brazil was the last country in Western Hemisphere to ban slavery. Many Confederates fled to Brazil after the Civil War to continue the practice and avoid anticipated prosecution.

No one in South America likes to claim their black parts. So of course you've come up with a number like 8%

[deluxlifebyGraziaCosta]

Brazilians have diverse ancestries, including indigenous roots. Before Europeans arrived in 1500, Brazil was home to over 1, 000 tribes, with a population estimated between 5 to 13 million. Bahia is recognized as the state with the highest African descent population in Brazil. I lived in southern Brazil and rarely saw dark-skinned people besides myself 🤷🏽‍♀️

Im Black American and have about 31% % European ancestry, 1% Native American and 68% African.

[dolydoly]

50% of the Brazilian population is white with 75% European DNA and up to 100%. 50% is mixed race, with a larger black percentage 40% to 100% African.

My child is white and was once 88% white
But if you would cut up his dna without any dna test my child would be 50% Dutch
25%% black
12, 5%Pirtugese
12, 5% Native Indian
Of course the last 2 could be complety different numbers!
And mine could be France also!

So he became a clone of me 😈
But not even that, he becomes a better version of me, he has curley's blond curley's and hamster cheeks, while i dont have those exactly the opposite!
His hair is mine, his face is mine!
But he is the better, more evolved, sublime version

The best thing about this country is that we have brown, white, black, indigenous, Asian people all in one place

[gabrisg]

the thing is 48% of Brazilian population is white, 42% mixed and 8% are really black, but in the mixed race brazilian we found 60-70% of european and 20-30% of african, so Brazil its not a white country and its not a black country too, but Brazil is much more european than african

[AbstractDivinity]

This is true. I lived in Brazil and black people are not as big as people think. The state of Bahia has a huge population of blacks and mulattoes however the other states is mostly white or mixed.

THE PORTUGUSE FROM PORTUGAL ARE THE ONES WHO STARTED IT ALL...😊

[ramanathanviswanathan]

you guys talking about whites is in correct. All of us were created from Africa to other part of the world

[cariocabassa]

[BadMonTing]

Pele is the only black Brazilian I've ever seen.

[diongibbs]

Yeah well I identified as a billionaire but the bank didn't buy it

[blackghanistant.v.]

Well I see many on top of many that identify with Black💯

[lilaspire]

Descendants of enslaved people, the black people in Brazil live majorly in the northeast coast, coming from the West and Central parts of Africa historically

[blaklena]

Around 1850ies Brazil had more Africans the europeans, being affraid to become a "black coin try", the government facilitated the arrival of hundreds of thousands of European immigrants and made a large propaganda to "better the race"! The African mix in the genes was voluntary, the added white was marketed and directed... This type of colorise still is very prevalent in Latin America

[marage]

When see these kinda if studies, it only tells me that there are people that don’t want racism to end anytime soon

[edpoletto]

Beautiful people, let's get their politics straight.
