  • Brazil can inspire Latin America in the fight against racism

    Sao Paulo, July 2, EFE, (Camera: Ana Paula Chain).- Although racism is far from being extinguished, Brazil has already taken positive steps that can inspire other Latin American countries, said the rector of the Brazilian institution that pioneered racial and social inclusion.FOOTAGE OF INTERVIEW WITH JOSÉ VICENTE, HEAD OF THE ZUMBI DOS PALMARES UNIVERSITYTranslations:"(Brazil) came out of an agenda that did not contemplate affirmative actions for one that resulted in racial quotas of 20% in universities, public services and even in the armed forces. It is little, but in a country that had not managed to build any public policy of inclusion and valorization of the black since the abolition of slavery (in 1888), this is a political and social progress of great importance"."Racism is the wall that prevents equal opportunities and without tearing it down we have no way of making people have equal opportunities.""In South and Central America we have this black diaspora that puts a large contingent of them, in all these countries, in a situation of distortion, inequality and exclusion, and we have to a large extent a political pact, if not formal, at least informal, that repeats the structure of colonialism and of what was 'apartheid', but not legalized.""In addition to the loss of jobs, important activities of the informal and service sectors, in which they traditionally operate, no longer exist. Now, they are subject to this process in which there is no employment, occupation, or income, but all manifestations of racial discrimination continue.""Aggressions to minorities as a whole and especially to blacks, which are often repeated, gained a feeling of sufficiency."
