Os melhores pilotos do mundo eram da TAP!

Ainda hoje, muitos portugueses costumam dizer que os melhores pilotos do mundo são da TAP 🇵🇹

The Portuguese love patting themselves on the back. They were the pioneers of one of the worst crimes against humanity, which was the trans atlantic slave trade. They are friendly and welcoming to certain people. If they think you are from a former colony, they are not so welcoming. As a black American with no Portuguese in my history, I had to deal with the hostility many of them have towards black people. They have not always been so peaceful. There is no nice way to enslave and traffic millions for centuries. The "we are so loving" bs doesn't fool me. Sorry! They are special, alright.

When open your mouth is to say shi .....

[@dylanherholdt7970]

Sorry to hear about your experience. I haven't heard of this happening and, in my experience, Portuguese are not arrogant and quite reluctant to pat themselves on the back. They are also quite open and honest about their past. Thanks for watching anyway and all the best

Hi @teddydavis2339,
Thank you for sharing your perspective. Your feedback is valuable and helps us strive for a more inclusive, understanding and welcoming community for everyone.
The legacy of European colonialism and slavery is well known, as is Portugal's role in it. To move forward as a country, it's important to not only acknowledge this complex History, but also the varied experiences people have.
We’re sorry that your experience with Portugal was so different from that of our podcast guests, but as the great Martin Luther King Jr. once said: “Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”
We hope you will understand why we are committed to sharing the love ❤

The idea that everyone in Portugal, or any other former colonial European country, is racist because of their country’s past is preposterous. Just as Germany’s Nazi history doesn’t make all Germans today Nazis, and not all Americans from the South are white supremacists, it’s unfair to judge an entire nationality based on the actions of a few individuals you were unfortunate enough to encounter 😞
