    The statement made by that Brazilian boy is not entirely accurate; the majority of Brazilians are not of Black people. The census here relies on self-declaration, and only 8% of the population identifies themselves as Black. Forty percent identify themselves as White, 2% as Asian, 1% as Native American, and the remaining portion considers themselves of mixed race. The self-declaration system is based on individuals' perceptions of their identity. Only 8% of us identify as Black because, contrary to that person's assertion, many individuals with Black ancestry also have a significant percentage of European heritage (much more than black people in the US according to some DNA studies), resulting in a mixed-race classification. The thinking that no matter how much black African DNA you have makes you African is a North American concept, not a Brazilian concept, this idea has been imported from there it's not a "natural" picture of what we really think of us.
    Furthermore, the notion that Black Brazilians are automatically classified as Afro-Brazilians is a relatively new concept. Many of us do not share this perception, as our culture is a blend of five distinct cultural influences. We simply identify ourselves as Brazilians, no matter our skin color. Personally, I have undergone a DNA test revealing that I am 73% European, 12% Black African, 11% Native American, and 4% Asian. Just as I do not identify myself as European, a Black Brazilian, in most cases, may not identify solely as African despite they are aware of their African roots and that Africa has a significant role in our culture and history. WE ARE JUST BRAZILIANS! (the most mixed and wonderful people on earth, probably because of our African-european-native-asian culture? maybe) and I really dislike the fact that these ideas have contaminated our thinking of what we are and how it's been dividing our people into black and white shit, just like what happens in the US. That is NOT our reality.

    I've nothing to do with Africa. Maybe other Brazilians feel connected which is their right but I can't connect to the people who sold my ancestors in the most inhumane way. My ancestors were criminally forced into a ship, betrayed and hurt by those who were supposed to protect them - other black ppl. The moment those greedy blacks agreed to sell my ancestors, the connection died there. On the other hand, they arrived in Brazil, escaped slavery and mingled with native brazilians, to this day we're a beautiful community of mixed ppl, the Natives became new family, I have white mix too but natives and the black ppl Africans betrayed started a whole new race, the mixed ones here in the new world 🇧🇷
    I won't insult any of my ancestors by claiming I'm African when Africa didn't want us back then, you all claiming us now coz we're perceived as "exotic" and attractive, I don't see many Africans this proud about Haiti were most ppl there are just black without visible mixing. But Africans love to claim mixed ppl from Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic. Africans need to face some accountability too, not just be given a free pass for having sold millions of ppl to slavery. The Oyo empire, madame tinubu, Kosoko to oba all sold ppl to Brazil and their descendants pretty much still have privileges built on the suffering of millions of ppl. I've read letters from that era, Kosoko the oba selling slaves to Brazil slave masters and it broke my heart 💔.
    My ancestor are fierce af for having survived despite the hurt they endured due to such coward betrayal by other Africans. I hope you make a video about the Youruba enslavers too as much as you enjoy erasing the identity of those in the diaspora

A miscigenação no Brasil é grande é a maioria dos afro descendentes também é descendente de indígenas e de europeus portugueses. Se alguém pode se autodenominar "brasileiro" de fato, somos nós. Se não o fizermos, quem se declarará "brasileiro" serão os brancos, muitos deles imigrantes do Eixo (alemães, italianos, japoneses, dentre outros) chegados ao país no inicio do século XX. Nós estamos aqui desde 1538, primeiro desembarque de africanos no Brasil.

      E fale por você, não tenho orgulho nenhum da África, não romantizo este continente, precisam sim ser questionados pois até hoje existem famílias privilegiadas com as vendas e mortes de outros pretos. Dezenas de iorubás venderam meus ancestrais para os portugueses, kosoko governante iorubá era contra a abolição, madame tinubu uma africana iorubá disse que preferia afogar escravizados do que vendê-los com desconto para os portugueses, império Dahomey, império Oyo venderam tbm. Se não tivessem ajudado os brancos as coisas não teriam sido como foram. Quem tratou com amor ❤️ meus ancestrais traídos foram os indígenas, sou filho desta mistura.

    Do anyone here know about the holocaust that preceded the Jewish holocaust? It happened to the Africans in Argentina.
    Wonder why there are lots of African heritage people in Argentina's neighbours, particularly, Brazil but relatively none in Argentina which once had an African population of 30-40%? They were systematically exterminated by Argentina.
    Now you know, when next time you here the word "holocaust" remember the African holocaust in Argentina -- not just the Jewish one in Europe.

      We respect your perspective. Although we (us) use Black American and African American interchangeably, we know the mission of what the people before us had when reclaiming our power by naming our ethnicity for ourselves on a federal level. We are no longer anyone’s negro or colored. My grandmothers who had both of those terms on their birth certificates were proud of being African “American,” therefore we say it proudly.

      What i noticed from your statement is your partial acknowledgement of your african ancestry and an IMPLIED REJECTION OF YOUR AFRICANESS for whatever reasons! This's the type of ingrained feelings amongst some in the afro-world that has been a major impediment towards achieving a harmonious Afro unity. Embracing this unity got nothing to do with the economic status of the country that you live in, but that passion & a sense of love & patriotism towards your point of origin.

The blacks in Brazil had been under slavery 500 years, longer than any other group and it was the longest journey. They revolted against their enslavement and set up the states of Bair and Palmeras, but in the 19th century, Brazil started a program of 'whitening' the country by importing 3 million Europeans. From 70% black, Brazil is about 30% black today.
