Wode it's very sad Racism in Brazil broke my heart when I visited Salvador de Bahia in February 2008 for the carnaval travelling around the world from the UK with my best friend. Brazil was the first of 12 countries we visited. Intact I am only just coming back to Brazil next month since then. I am coming over to visit my Afro Brazilian friend and his family in Rio de Janeiro.
Yes👍🏿
Some years back I was sent out of a supermarket of whites in Sao Paolo...only to realise later it was racism
❤👍👊💯🌍🇯🇲
You don’t realize what a privilege it is to live and feel at home in the motherland until you watch such a video. There’s no place I’d rather be than home! 🇰🇪🇰🇪
Is that Kenyan flag
Yeah
Me too
Fuck dat Africa has worst problems than racism. Most Africans are fleeing there own country to go to white countries. The problem can’t be whites it’s ourselves
Such discouraged me from even dreaming about migrating to one of the western countries.
Everyone wants to be us but not treated like us
It’s sad
Just go to Columbia next! This problem is EVERYWHERE in South America
Exactly 💯
lol no one wants to be you.
Our black skin doesn't make us sunbathe...Our black skin doesn't need a tanning salon...Our black skin doesn't need spray tans our black skin was designed by God and hated by man who does all kinds of acts to get a darker tone we was blessed with 🖤#Racism is taught in many white households no matter the country 😔
I was in Brazil just 3 weeks ago, i went to Sao Paulo and then Salvador, and in less than 48 hrs i was able to recognize the racism immediately and i was very sad. I lost all my joy for Brazil i had for brazil, I loved Brazilian soccer. To see afro Brazillians living in such a state I was so hurt. It made me appreciate what African Americans have done for black people. The struggle to fight for freedom. As a born African living in the United States, I have come to cherish the African-American struggle for justice and economic justice. Going to Brazil told me how far back the black man in Brazil is, he is told to accept his position and never question it because he or she is lucky to be Brazilian.
I am glad that we brazilians are not segregationist and race-obssessed like americans. If that's your joy, keep it. We don't need it.
Yes. It's oppressive.
I commented that I felt better in Europe, where I was treated better than in Brazil, but people don't understand. I came here in 1987, to free my mind and also to help my mother who was sick. I was able to buy medicines, food and pay condominium fees with the money I received. My sister was able to stay at home helping my mother.
It's very hard for you to live so unhappy, especially when you live in the only country you know. Many Africans are not aware of what racism is.
Yes, you won't find many race baiters or race-obssessed people like in the US. Thankfully.
Thank you for sharing your perspective, it makes for a valuable insight. All the best.
Yours is a very good comment. I am a black Cuban. I am seeking a nice destination to relocate as a black person, and I was actually thinking about Brazil. But this video only made me realize even more what I already was kind of suspecting, how far behind black people are in Brazil. Way farther behind than in Cuba.
I am nearly ruling out Brasil.
ONE AFRICA, ONE PEOPLE. Sending love to all Africans around the globe
Dem arabs in the north don’t want to mix with black people.
Why do you not want them to return to their ancestral land? Why are they submitting to the colonizer governments?
Yeah..tell to the african committing african massacres and genocied like in Ruanda, Congo and Ethiopia..😅😂
Nuff love from jamaica
The change is coming.God not giving more than what u can bear.
Black people are the realest so thats why we getting the hardest fight.
Dnt forget that Africa is the grest place on earth,thats why its called the Motherland,n it possess by Black people,so why worry?
Just come together n build united Africa.
Africa doesnt need the world,the world needs Africa.
We need to connect all Africans around the world as one and we would be so powerful. No one left behind movement is my goal for a search for freedom for us all!
It has existed for decades, it's called Panafricanism....
Yes, absolutely! This is what Marcus Garvey dedicated his whole life to achieve.
What does that mean? Kill everyone who isnt black? Plz elaborate the big words you use.
Pan-Africanism is the new black power
@@Fister-kw5un If you're too silly to use Google and instead choose to spend your time making things up online, that's on you!
As a black Brazilian who has lived in the United States for 12 years, I see that black Brazilians have to learn some things that black Americans did, they built their own structure of TV, radio, University, schools and much more, I don't say that to to segregate but to show respect, because here in Brazil white people respect black Americans a lot because they recognize everything they have achieved, here in Brazil there is a lack of black filmmakers to tell our stories in a beautiful way, where are the black filmmakers in Brazil? We are a large black nation but we are still small in purchasing power, you don't see engineers, doctors, or technology companies with black people prominently featured.Black Americans are a reference of success for the whole world, where in the world there are so many black people on TV in the cinema, hundreds of hundreds of films, there has been a black president, here in Brazil the only black person who is world famous was Pelé many years ago , without this we are invisible in the world, and in Colombia does anyone know? There is no comparison between the United States and the world reference .Today I live in Brazil and I see the big difference between black people in the United States and the rest of the world.
Black Americans are recognized because they come from America. Who doesn't recognize America? Without White Americans, America would be like Haiti. I am yet to see an advanced all-black country. There is none. Lots of excuses and delusions. Asians have made it, China, Japan, Singapore etc. They aren't whining about colonialism or atomic bombs.
Absolutely I agree ! And this also applies to certain African nations because many African medias are owned by foreigners, Europeans and Americans, to keep control of what the population sees, but they put Africans in the forefront so we don’t think we are being manipulated, however if you look for the place where the company is registered it will be france for example and the owner of that African media will be a French person.
We need to regain control of our destiny
Exato, Alex. Mesmo com todos os seus problemas, os EUA possuem um nível de desenvolvimento social muito maior de sua população negra do que o Brasil. Ontem mesmo eu estava pensando nisso. Por exemplo, os EUA tem o dobro de médicos negros que o Brasil tem, mesmo tendo só uma fração de sua população proporcionalmente. Os afro-americanos utilizam da maior abertura econômica daquele país para desenvolverem suas próprias indústrias de altíssimo porte. Nada é perfeito, mas eles têm mais oportunidades do que nós.
A ascensão social é muito dificultada no nosso país e a burocracia de nosso Estado mantém essa estrutura de desigualdade colonial intacta. Trabalho em uma empresa cujos donos são um grupo de bilionários nordestinos, com quem tenho contato diariamente. São pessoas cujos antepassados eram proprietários de capitanias hereditárias. Então, a mesma elite que tem o monopólio sobre tudo no Brasil atualmente é uma direta continuação daqueles que foram os donos do país lá no começo.
I think Black people in Brazil are/were very oppressed. Even when you tried to separate, for example, to have quilombos, somehow this was interfered with. They structure of racism there, and throughout South America, was to destroy Black people and Blackness completely. Perhaps it is us, Black people from other countries, who need to come and give the necessary support. Even help tell the Black Brazilian stories. I think Black Americans, because of being able to have separate spaces, like Black colleges, it helped alot. Still, I'm sure you'll agree that Black people in America also struggle alot.
@@urbanaafricana Here in Brazil, many black people are completely inferior, I live near São Paulo and I say the only city in Brazil that can see black people with pride is in the city of São Paulo, there the movement is big and there is a more modern mentality even for business, in Salvador is already a more cultural movement focused on Africa, Salvador was supposed to be the Brazilian Atlanta, but it isn't! The blacks there are not business-minded.
Wherever there is *Black People*, there's racism also! Black People as a whole needs to understand that we're the ONLY types of Humans that are uniquely authentic! Everyone else in the world can easily look like the *white man* except for black people. Don't EVER be discouraged or feel belittled cause *YOU* don't 'blend' in with the rest of Society! Be happy, proud, and honored that *YOU* stands out amongst the rest!! Learn of your own *black history* cause it will surprise you and the world ... believe that!!
✔️💯✌🏾🖤🙂
Black people is the most racist I ever seen. There are blacks in all segments of Brazilian society. Most of Brazilians have mixed race. This is the melting pot that every society envy!
This is why black people across the world should love each other period. We should not hate each other ever bc we have enough people hating us.
Facts!!!
Of course.
That’s with every race.
@@Eljefe5948facts all races kill each other just blk and brown are the target for media
Racism is real and exist among all human tribes, but the collective racism against BLACK people is even SAD and DEEP at every corner on earth.
We shall overcome, but we need to love ourselves as BLACK people first. Let's stop all the hate and division among us and desist from attacking other black countries on the internet.
Amen.
because everywhere they go they lie, steal and commit crimes. If they behaved, maybe people will treat them better?
Why should so called black countries be exempted from critism
Racism DOES NOT "exist among all human tribes"! 🙄It's a man-made construct. Read a book, bro!
@@gibson2675he means attacking each other, on internet. If you think about it, it does more damage to the black man's cause. division ensues right away, above anything else.
Dear Wode Maya,
As a Black Brazilian, I'm very proud and thankful for this video.
You really got the point of racims in my country.
The best thing to do it is by interviewing black people and you did it efficiently.
Now, you know a little bit of Brazil and can talk to all African countries (followers) about this reality here.
Of course, not everything is bad or sad. Despite all problemas black population and indigenous get through every single day, I can say there is still hope in the future.
Please, come back to Brazil soon.
Hugs and kisses.
Such a beautiful comment bro..
@@WODEMAYA , Next time you come to Brazil, you must visit the State of Maranhão, that is in the Northeast. I'm not sure but it's one the most black state here. Surely, it has the second black population in the Northeast, after Bahia. It's a fantastic place.
Blacks are the indigenous to Brazil.
Love from Guinée-Bissau 🇬🇼
Thank you for sharing your perspective !
I'd like to hear from you on how Black people have access to management positions in Brazil. even before asking about access to wealth.
All black Afro Brazilians are most welcome in Suriname, we would love to have you great people here. Much love and God bless you all.
Saying it again al black brazilian poeple are welkom in suriname
I know its crewel out there
A shit ton of brazilians were persecuted and murdered in suriname in 2009
It is black brazilian, thanks!
@@Sheilamoraes27 my bad🙏
As a Kenyan, who has lived in the West, for me, the best way to combat racism was to become self-employed and financially independent, no matter how hard it is. I am my own boss, no one can tell me what to do, I live life on my own terms and live wherever I want, and am ruthless when it comes to business.
The problem in the West is that educated Africans (with degrees) do menial jobs such as security guard, carer, cleaner, driver etc. which is understandable, because you have to survive. Even in professional roles, like IT where I worked, Africans are rarely in leadership roles, and can experience racism at work, or oppression from fellow Africans, the classic divide and rule strategy. But this makes Africans in the West be perceived as only being capable of such jobs, unlike in Africa (e.g. in Kenya) where black Africans are seen differently by their citizens as they create businesses, and run big companies or organisations, thus inspiring locals to aspire to do the same.
Economic empowerment is everything, just look at the Asian Tigers and the Chinese.
Agree. It should never be crutch.
How do you become your own boss? Business? Do you employ fellow Africans ?
@ednahchirchir1924 There is no simple answer. But for me, you must have incredible desire to succeed, and put in all the hard work and discipline required to get there. Be prepared to fail repeatedly and overcome difficulties. To put it simply, you either want it or you don't.
The only way to end racism against black is for us to individually and collectively become economically viable; educate our children not just academics but in skills and agriculture. Start and own our own businesses. Become tunnel visioned, focus on only ourselves and what we are doing not what the other races are trying and doing to us. ALL THIS START WITH LOVING OURSELVES, appreciating who we are.
Better racism, tribalism is worse
@@e.jack.47
I totally agree Tribalism is worse
The world can do nothing without us as Africans, we stimulate economies, we build successfully and all the sciences originated in Khemet, Africa. Lord restore our wealth for us as Africans and African Americans from the land of Khemet also known as Africa people and our knowledge and strength in Jesus Name
100%right
It's beyond that. It's having pride in your race and NOT tolerating disrespect. How can we even build an inch when most Blacks are taught to turn other cheek and cower to Whites and others????
I keep commenting on it. I'm Brazilian and I feel better in Europe than at home.
I want to come and live in Africa, but I don't know where I come from and if the Africans will accept me as an African. We have a suffering that never goes away. It’s horrible what colonialism did to our ancestors and to us.
Africa is home bro 😎 Maybe you can visit Ghana 🇬🇭
You should go to Popo Aguda in Lagos nigeria. Its the settlement where a lot of Afro brazilians went to after slavery ended and left brazil to go or return to Africa. Many of their descendants are still there.
Pick a part any part & get in where you fit in, there are many choices. Don't fret❤🖤💚

I experienced this in the south of Brazil as a med student. I will never go back there.
As a Brazilian, I'm so sorry you went through that, it's such a shame. The South of Brazil is known for being very racist and conservative.

We don't care!! Don't came back🫡
@@Sheilamoraes27 that’s what I said racista 🙄
@@shauna-leesmith9786 At least me and my people aren't triblst like y'all!!
Thanks for the exposure Wada Maya. I have friends from Brazil of different backgrounds. Afro Brazilian and Portuguese Brazilian but never really got into their history. My prayer is for them to be interested in Africa the land of many of their ancestors. Africa is not a jungle but a beautiful continent. They are also the future of Africa.
The ancestors of most Brazilians are Native Americans who were decimated on their own land by colonizers
What is this? Português brazilian?? What is this afro brazilian? And almost majority of brazilian with is pardo/ moreno and mix will call?? Português afro braxilian or portugues native american? Português native América afro beazilian??
If they are true brazilian with ancestors brazilians that build this country they are all Brazilians and much more the one who were the natives and my ancestors too will be what native south american brazilian? 🤡☠️🤣🤯🙄💣💩🤢🤮
@@joao_lj00They did not dicimeted, they married with the natives and start to build the cities, stpd!!🤡💩💣🙄🤯
@@Sheilamoraes27 The indigenous population of Brazil was literally entirely murdered by the Portuguese and Africans, today the indigenous population of Brazil represents only 1% of natives, where are our natives, in a civilizational limbo???!
African people worldwide need to understand that racism is a worldwide thing and that we need to unite and trade amongst ourselves and look out for one another.
Agreed 👍💯
Charity begins at home. Nobody will love and accept us, when we haven’t loved and accepted ourselves. Until we put pride, ego, religion, greed, social class, tribalism, etc away and embrace each other as brothers and sisters, nothing will ever change. Every negative thing we do to one another devalues us as a group. Our leaders sell us out. We’ve got no infrastructure, quality education, enabling business environments to create jobs and innovation for the young. How can we be valued by outsiders? Everything starts with us. It is well. Peace and love to all! Keep up the great work, Maya!
This is such limited thinking. Why do you think we have no infrastructure? Hmmmm. And also, white people also have their own tribalism. Western Europeans treat Eastern Europeans very differently. Please stop. We do love ourselves and support ourselves, just as much as others love themselves. What about all the negative things white people do? Are you trying to tell us that white leaders are never corrupt? Please. Educate yourself. We can't accept being treated badly by outsiders. Please deal with your self hate/internalized racism.
I do agree with you. I have lived and study in China for six years. And the day the Chinese realize that unity was the way to conquer the world and developer into what they are today, that was the beginning of their prosperity.
Until Africans can come together under 1 policy, one Africa, we will continue to cry racism and be control.
YOU are soooo right! Not until black ppl love themselves and truly unite, NOTHING will change.
Well said. Thats very true. Sadly we are sometimes our own enemies.
LOVE this comment, because it's the TRUTH! Very well said.
When Racism is tolerated and perpetrated in a Society, that Society is not a safe environment and breeds mistust, division in which bullies, exploit harm and go unchecked.
It is my sincere hope that the Brazillian people realise that they can fix the rot. They can make their country a true Paradise for All its People to enjoy. Thank you for shinning the light into the dark of Brazil. Lets see if the Brazillian people will change it.
Well said.
I have really appreciated the work you have done to raise up our heritage, my brother. From a caperverdean in the dispora.
I am Afro Brazilian and that’s one of the reason I leave my country!
After I got robbed of my motorcycle and went to the police station for a complaint about it !
And they treated me like I was the criminal!!
Sorry it happened to you
Am sorry to hear that
Dammn
Wow
Where did you move to may I ask?
Its true that once Black people get healthy self esteem we will be unstoppable.
The hate we attract is jealousy meant to get us to devalue ourselves and our own. We have the best birthrights in the world. God loves us. Live the glory with pride and joy. Let satan reap what he sows.
Jealousy is hatred and that leads to Gods eternal judgement.
Yes, I agree with you Ameen
"Its true that once Black people get healthy self esteem we will be unstoppable." Yes we all agree, this why i dislike the victim crap.
@Joyful_Smiles - You can't copy European economies. The IQ gap too wide.
Yes.
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Overcoming racism is harder than dev high self-esteem. It is structural and institutional. So it has become vicious cycle which is self-perpetuating.
WODE MAYA is a think-tank. He creates some of the videos which you can never skip when UA-cam suggests them to you. I've been exploring the whole earth just sitting on my coach in Kenya. Keep on keeping on bro.
Parabéns pelo vídeo! Assistia seus vídeos quando você ainda era estudante na China. Feliz por ver o desenvolvimento do seu canal e a sensibilidade do seu olhar. Bem-vindo ao Brasil, irmão! ❤✊🏾
Oh wow!Thank You
It seems to me the color divide is still a reality.
Brazil has a long way as the 21st Century moves along.
The black middle class will have to grow as the century moves along.😊
Racism is something that will be hard to eradicate.😊
I had this encounter in Brazil in 2014. I walked into a shoe shop. As I walked past the elderly security guard in Campinas, a black man, he tapped my shoulder and I immediately nodded back at him. We were the only black people in the store. It was a quiet moment of recognition of our shared blackness.
I wanted to add that I picked up some good samba music from my trip. I discovered Grupo Revelacao and Arlindo Cruz. Ta escrito and Meu Lugar are favourites.
Very touching...blackness in silent conversation
He was probably gay and trying to get your attention. Black unity is a facade brother

Once Africa becomes completely sovereign: strong banks, strong military, strong Black education, etc. Africa will be able to support and protect her children worldwide.
Keep building Africa, keep uniting, keep loving and investing in your birthrights and we all will be healed and thriving.
Africa will be able to give loans, grants, and protection to other Black nations and communities.
Our Africa politicians are not serious though. Not all I mean most of them.

@@Yaruandromedano1111please bring down for me, sound quite interesting 🥸
As an African (Ivorian), this saddens me a little bit but it also confirmed to me that we are strong and descendants of strong people. They did all types of evil to us but we are still here. We will keep on growing.

I'm watching this as a Black American woman and it's sad, not surprising, I, too have experienced racism...In times past I've wondered how many African families were ripped away from each other during the transatlantic slave trade when some Africans were sent to South America while others were sent to North America...I feel them...I am them. Great video Wode Maya🙏🏾❤️

@@bruceparker6142not in every historical account.
That’s how the system keeps on winning don’t be fooled the system wants us to fight each other so that we don’t unit if you go to Ghana or South Africans you can see where slaves were kept before taken to the slave boats
I love that Kenyan lady. Beautiful, likable, humble
I was in Sao Paolo in 2012 and i can truly say that the people are one of the nicest in the world...very diversell!!! beautiful city, very friendly people and you can literally ask anyone on the streets for help with anything ....i personally didnt experience any racism and i was there only a few weeks so i cant speak for everyone but i felt at home and will definitely visit again
lets not forget Wode maya built his channel on racism. 90% of his followers are under@chieving closet anti white and entitled r@cist, who see everything as racism.

I'm Afro-American married to an Afro-Brazilian living in Sao Paulo.
That Kenyan sister is GORGEOUS!
Wode Maya now has the experience and influence to put things into action. The next chapter in his story will be mighty powerful, he is shaping up to become a leader in his own right. I give my support!
Wode, your Kenyan co-host did a great job with this episode, perhaps in bridging the gap we need affiliated content for Portuguese speaking Afro-Nations both in continent and diaspora.
An ideal opportunity for her to explore and travel, it also aligns with Pan-Africanism conversation and bridging the 6th region.
Definitely ❤ she needs a UA-cam
We have influencers from Angola and Mozambique here and they are being recognized, the most famous is Baptista
We also have the Kudurista rei do kuduro
Both famous here in Brazil
Love my African brothers and sisters. Hopefully I can visit the motherland one day.
That young lady on the train who says she feels lost as an Afro-Brazilian is totally understood by me. I lived for many years in the USA and in my conversation with Afro-Brazilians they tell me that there very few organizations that cater to organizing Afro-Brazilians culturally or functionally with respect to things like quality of schools, demanding government actions in their areas, etc., etc. So yes you will feel lost in such situations.
I am so greatful for your words Wode Maya, there is no sense like knowing you belong and are accepted and I join you in asking African Union to do more to connect with Africans in the diaspora and around the world. in 2023 there is no reason why Africans around the world need to be victims of racism lets make a route for Africans to return home and contribute and build our very own Africa sKeep up the good work
Africans in diaspora don't want to connect to the continent of Africa. Becos they consider it as poor
As Black people, we often allow other races to be racist towards us, perhaps because we see ourselves as victims of slavery or colonialism. While these events had a devastating impact on our identity, we must not let them define us in the present day.
We are a people of over one billion, with the richest continent in the world and a wealth of skills and talents. We have the power to transform Africa into a home for all Black people, and to contribute to the world in ways that are yet to be imagined.
But first, we must hold our leaders accountable and fight for our continent. Black people outside of Africa also have a role to play, as the fate of our motherland affects us all. Why is it that other races do not experience racism in the same way that we do? It is because they have strong homelands that will stand up for their citizens around the world. We Black people lack this, but we can change that.
In the age of technology, we have the potential to build a global Black social and business network. This network would allow us to discuss our issues, share ideas, and support each other. It would also be a powerful tool for fighting racism and discrimination. Let us come together and build the Africa we want to see, a motherland that will take care of us all.
Very well said❤! Furthermore, we must not only stop blaming the western nations, in fact it is more dangerous to align ourselves to China and Russia, or simply to the world most dangerous dictators! They don’t have respect for their own people how do our leaders expect them to have respect for us? They will only take our resources and if necessary kill us in one way or another.
Well said 👏
I agree with you.
See what is happening in Palestine - Israel.
Israel is white and Palestine is Arab. The whites immediately helped each other, while the Arabs continue on talks. Meanwhile, the Palestinian people die every second.
The same thing, I'm observing from here in Europe. Many African leaders are paid to kill, starve and impoverish their own people. The history of slavery did not affect them. That other races look at us as submen doesn't affect them either.
That's truth. Black people should stop complaining about racism but tell us what they are doing to fight it. If we are over one billion on this earth, I think we should be able to defeat racism and those who do it. So stop blaming the racist because they will always be racist people and we don't have any control on that but we can stand up to them
Will get there. Slowly but surely...
Thank you Wode Maya, this is so overdue, It also is happening in Guyana, next door, by East Indians!
They control the economy and the government as well??
Why do you not have over a million followers your channel is very informative and authentic.
You hit the nail on the head when you spoke about your first experience of racism when you said you went looking for a job… there is very little in recent history that Africans have contributed to society in a global scale. Until we stand and develop Africa financially, scientifically, technologically and in terms of infrastructure we will always be the ones going to other continents looking for better things and seen as invaders and uncivilised by other people. People will always look down on you and mistreat you if they feel they can’t benefit anything from you, it is even worse when they know they can’t benefit from you. Unfortunately that is the sad reality of us as African people. We can’t even run our own continent or make something of it. We say that the west and Europe have stolen our resources but it is our own leaders that continue to sell out our continent while they have fat pockets. Even today in the age of globalisation of information and knowledge we still can’t process our mineral resources. We sell them cheap, they get processed for us and we buy them back for tons of money. If you think like that you deserve to be dominated.
Much thanks to our sister from Kenya for showing you around.
Medieval people on this world will pay for their sins don't worry about it my heavenly father got them too much evil too much hatred
Lived in São Paulo for about 3 years as a NYC transplant and I loved it…. I stayed close to Ave Paulista and it often felt like I was back home in Manhattan. Brazilians are beautiful people ❤. As a black woman though, I was treated very differently from locals, though we looked the same. The minute I opened my mouth and they hear English I get received differently. It’s sad because even your own black people are racist to each other , but it is the heritage of a former slave state and colonial society.
You are always welcome to Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤️ and Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤️
Notice how none of the colonial states have HSR?
spent some years and Bahia and SP with my kids and returning to SP to live soon. They always said the $$$ whitens you in Brazil and I saw this to be true
You were treated differently because you're American and therefore your social status changed in their minds. That will happen anywhere even in Europe. Being Black American gives you immediate upgrade. This has little to do with color and all to do with money or persecption of higher financial status.
Are we taking about racism or prejudice?
My love and regards to my Brazilian brothers and sisters. From your brother Okechukwu in Nigeria ❤️🙏🏾💪🏾
I have Brazil on my bucket list. Thanks for enlightening me.
You are getting BETTER and BETTER on a DAILY basis!!!!!! You DESERVE all the SUCCESS. Please support our brother Wode Maya!!!
Talking about racism gets everyone excited LMAO
It's not just talking about racism. You can see the effort and the thought in the video...relating to the people and asking the right questions...showing similarities that the Brazilians have with Africans. You saw CAPOEIRA-a form of communication... EMPATHY-feeling for the people.@@Fister-kw5un
Great video keep up the good work. As a Jamaican part of the problem we have as black people is that most of us are are not racially literate and so we lack the knowledge, skills and awareness of how racism impedes us on a global macro level because we are quick to give white people a pass, while condemning our own. Also the anti-blackness that is rife in all our communities which needs to be eradicated because it only creates division among us while at the same time reinforcing hegemonic structures the impact on us profoundly. I find it sad that in 2023 a black person visiting Brazil finds how shockingly raacist the country is. Brazill, a country which was builted on the backs of an estimated 40 percent of enslaved Africans that were shipped during transatlantic slavery and the last country to abolish slavery in 1888 in the Western Hemisphere. We need to bridge the historical knowledge gap that exist between us, that is also a part of our divide.
I am not a black person, currently residing in Jamaica.I have experienced ALOT of racism here by blacks. Blacks are very racist as well, so pretending otherwise is useless. I can see how blacks effectively use the race card, because it has worked out preety well for them from a financial perspective.Alot of b.s is excused when the race card is played. But soon that will come to an end. Furthermore Jamaicans always look at foreginers as an easy mark
As a Jamaican myself, I was completely dismayed by the racism I encountered in Brazil. I did not expect to be made to feel so uncomfortable in my own skin in a country with such a large black population and I cannot fathom what it is like having to live with such discrimination every day. When I returned to Jamaica, I was relieved beyond words and so grateful to live in a country where racism is not something we have to grapple with. Other things, yes but not that. There really needs to be more initiatives to bring the diaspora together.
In the early 80s Time Magazine devoted an entire issue to racism in Brazil. At the time, the general consensus was that Brazil was one of the most racist countries on earth. Nothing much has changed. Still mostly white brazilians get scholarships to travel and study abroad, attend conferences overseas, dominate the federal and state government, the foreign service, judiciary etc. Same is true with respect to doctors, engineers, accountants, etc. White brazilians have been lying all these decades.
@@swmthomas5066Is colourism in Jamaica still a big problem and are Jamaicans still using all methods of skin bleaching and toning to eradicate their melanin?
@@Coco-uk9tv The complexion of your skin will not hinder you from advancing. In fact, there are mostly brown & dark-skinned people all throughout local politics, media, entertainment, banking, medicine, law, business, you name it. Yes, there was major colourism in the past and there are still certain enclaves of society (usually comprising of non-black Jamaicans) to which a lighter complexion can gain you easier access but, by and large, Jamaicans today are proud of their blackness. Bleaching is NOT nearly as common here as international media makes it seem. The persons who do bleach tend to be from very deprived areas with less access to higher education and they (ignorantly) view it as a possible way to improve their station in life. You can spend a very long time here without seeing any person with bleached skin.
Off my bucket list 🥶🥶🥶
No no no... I'm 47 years old, I'm a native Brazilian and I can say that this video does not convey the reality of our people, there is prejudice against poor people, not against ethnic groups, very little.
This is so sad to watch, I've been a victim of racism, but I refuse to let this get me down. And you are right, even black people are racist against other black people...the darker you are...like myself....the lower we are on the acceptance scale....what a powerful documentary.
Education can put you higher. It's the one instrument that they are afraid of, that's why they put barriers in your way. Just ignore and rise above it all. If we learn to love and help our own more, we can conquer snd overcome any and everything.
Your dark skin is pure gold and precious. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. ❤
A black can't be racist against another black. Xenophobic yes but nit racist
@@lorainecodrington5721Here in Brazil this is a weapon widely used, I would say that not only for blacks but for the poorest in general, I was lucky enough to study in a public school that is a reference in education but not everyone is so lucky
Welldone brother💪 Africa to the world
Hooray! Lets claim victim together! Can I join? :)
Wow! I've never seen this Brazil anywhere! Very beautiful
Wow this was very sad to hear... I knew there was racism in Brazil but didn't know how bad it was... Stay strong my Afro Brazilian brothers and sisters 🙏🏾
If you only listen to people that gain from victimhood , you will get the worst picture possible. That girl was certainly lying when she said she feared everyday for her life. And if that happened to her in a restaurant, it would be shown in every newspaper in Brazil.

Love to see how much us Afro-Latino's relate to our African brothers and sisters
Very few blacks in Latin America calls themselves afro or black Latinos. They just say Latino or their nationality.
Come to Africa, it’s home & welcoming!!
This is very sad, imagine going through racism in your own Country for the rest of your life 🙏🏾🙏🏾,It's hard and very depressing,
Very depressing indeed
In Nigeria, you are discriminated against based on religion and tribe.The mullahs refers to Christians and indigenous religion practitioners as infidels and if you are not a Yoruba or Fulani no matter how good you are are ,you are going to find it very challenging if aspire to be President of the country. Nigeria is a racist country.
It is eternal suffering. You feel like you're in prison. Only those who experience this understand it, but cannot explain everything they feel.
I agree
Just like USA and England
An excellent and very balanced approach to this work. It's not all bright lights and fairy tales and you shared the everyday life of coping. I've loved my visits to Brasil and hopefully there will be more time spent there in the future. Despite the challenges, the black people there are warm, friendly, and welcoming. Solidarity!
Balanced? I dont think so.
Brazilian blacks rest assured you were given a powerful platform to shame racists..that is what Wode Maya is..Best charming UA-camr who has a way with all kinds of people..
André Rebouças(Brazil)one of the greatest engineers we've ever had in our country, spent in the 18th century in the EstafosUnidos and what he went through in Jm Crw and about ours, and the news about him not he was a amazing enginer for but about he skng and how our country was a disgrce that didn't know the prohibtion between colors/races.
André Rebouças was a private friend of our emperor Dom Pedro II and the son of a mulatto lawyer and aristocrat and a black woman.
…thanks Maya for bringing Brazil close to us🇰🇪🇹🇿
Thank you for the education we would never get in schools. They have been on a mission here in the US to eliminate the history of slavery in our schools. Keep going Wode Maya. I appreciate you.❤
You are a very powerful brother! I respect the work you are doing and the knowledge you are sharing in the four corners of the world, where our people are still facing oppression. Many times, I see videos where some people are spreading separation and hatred against brothers and sisters particularly in the America's. creating a division amongst our people. Not knowing we have all faced and been victims of slavery, colonization. deprivation socially, economically and culturally. Conquer and divide has also been the plan navigated by our oppressors. There is power in numbers. Africa will rise, when all African's are one again. The greatest resource of a continent/or country is its people. African Power! African liberation! Now! ✊🏾✊🏾
Thank you for this content, this is exactly the context I need to know. I’ve sent you a donation 🙏
Weldone Wode show the world that we are everywhere
Fans of wodemaya kindly watch the ads on the video so that in a way can support his journey of changing the negative narratives. ❤❤
Yessssss
Wode is not 'changing' narratives with this one, he is doing the opposite. Least racist moment in history right now but Wode misses the ol' days!
Many thanks for this very important piece of information
I have been to Brazil every year since 2019. I knew I loved Brazil years before I ever went. I was 15 when I first saw one of my favorite singersWhitney Houston perform at Rock in Rio in Brazil on UA-cam. That was the moment I knew I had to go. When I first went in 2016, it was just like I imagined. It was like I came home. What I realized though over the years is that the way my friends and I are treated as African-Americans is not the same experience that black brazilians have. I show them so much love when I go...reminding them that their black is beautiful. Brazil has some of the most incredible, loving, and kind people I have ever met in my life. Every trip is a spiritual transformation. Next year, I will travel to Bahia for the first time and I am so excited. Black is beautiful everywhere and for those of us that know, we must uplift our people around the world. It's not what THEY think of us, but what we think of ourselves. Peace and blessings.
Antonio, Brazil is a country of Palmiteiros. they don't need to be uplifted at all. they are hyper aware of the pigmentocratic ranking. Keep in mind they are just Black people elsewhere. not some lost souls . Nobody's sad dummy over there
@@PHlophe you're black right? brazilian black, that word palmiteiro is only used by black brazilians on the left wing spectrum who thinks white people are devils and deserve the worst, and dating and being with a white person if you are black you are commiting a sin. You want a black apartheid with you blacks on top whipping the whites and being your slaves. you're insane, esquerdinha vitimista demais
Just want to let any African out there who feels out of place due to racism that you are a V.I.P and you are always welcomed home here in Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪....Hakuna Matata..We love you brothers and sisters❤❤❤
Thanks Maya for shining a spotlight on racism in Brazil. I know a few friends who have visited there from the U.S and love it. I will be sharing this video with them. I've traveled to Africa and the Caribbean a few times. There has to be cohesion between black people in the Caribbean black people in Brazil the US and the continent of Africa. This would be the single greatest threat to the institution of racism. Pool resources from Africa the Caribbean and the US for the purpose of business development.
So what you're saying is 🤔 Latin America needs to ban people like you 😉 gotcha
black people in Latin America we don't care about race that much since we live in multiracial societies and strive to not care about race. We don't want to unite with people we don't have anything in common with just because of the color of our skin.
I am African American. I also feel lost…like all of my generations have been wandering around trying to get back home since the left. This makes me a stranger in a foreign land no matter how long it has been since we arrived.
Stay strong..as simple as I may make it seem.
I feel the same way living in the US as an African-American 😭
It’s like we’re trying to find our own ‘Wakanda’, but the reality is, I don’t think one really exist in this ‘matrix reality’ called ‘life’
I still keep pressing on to at least, getting outta debt, building generational wealth and protect and secure my family. It’s not easy yo.
Please visit Africa someday. It does have its own problems but your spirit needs it. I'm African but live overseas in the West. I always have to go back once every few years to recharge. I can't imagine for someone who has never gone back. Please go back. You're more than welcome ❤
400 yrs down the line trans-atlantic expeditions ship left our Eastern & Western African Coast to far Westlands😢😢😢,always feel welcomed back home
Of all the immigrants to The USA, the African Americans were the only immigrants to have their culture stripped away. Not one African American that I know, knows anything about their roots. None know which part of Africa they're from, or anything about Africa. Just my opinion, but that condition also causes a chasm between African Americans, and recent African immigrants.
WodeMaya we love you brother! Thank you for exposing us to some of the hardships our Afro-Brazilian brothers and sisters face. We hope our White Brazilian brothers and sisters can stand with their fellow citizens to fight systematic racism and most of all work for economic quality of all Brazilians. Wishing all the best for the great coutry of Brazil. Much love from Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, AFRICA.
All my respect goes to the strong older lady who sayed i feel powerful and i am very proud of my history!
It's just so touching listening to the stories of our fellow blacks suffering in Brazil
Black people struggle with racism in every single country outside of Africa. That’s why we need to stop seeking for acceptance from others and focus on how do WE elevate one another, how do we treat each other, and work towards a common goal. Our problem is we don’t have a common goal.
We can hate on racists but they want to preserve what they have wether it was stolen or not.
We Africans need to appreciate and preserve what we have and most importantly protect what we have.
Before playing the race card, we blacks should behave like another human group,
First of all, let's work hard, educate hard, and behave like others then you will talk about racism
@@Bj-7zo2sMes I don’t think you can say a whole community that went through what we went through and is clearly discriminated against is « playing the race card ». Saying that is disrespectful
@@Goldniz Then sit, fold your hands and blame others, wait for a miracle to come to help you to overcome racism and so on
@@Bj-7zo2sMes WTF are you talking about ?? I don’t think you know how systemic racism works. People who think like you are the biggest self hating people, you people think racism doesn’t exist and that black people don’t have opportunities because they are below others and they aren’t doing anything towards moving forward, you don’t know people are putting hurdles and barriers to black people so yes it does slow people down doesn’t mean they are not working hard at overcoming all that.
Condescending people like you are not helping, you people think it’s « tough love » by speaking like white supremacists but arrogance has never helped anyone.
You are part of the problem
at least youre not the indigenous people of Brazil who basically got killed off and had their land stolen from em @@Goldniz
Great job man, it's a nice video. Good information about Brazil for all. Thank you!
Brazil is looking more beautiful than I expected. When I get my money I'll come for a visit. To my people stay strong
This video was amazing! To hear other people of African diaspora's perspective on their experiences with racism was deeply heartfelt. I am African American. I may not always comment on your videos but I watch and like all the time. Maya you are a man who truly loves his people. Thank you, God Bless you for your works to bridge the gap! You need to come to America.
I feel for the brothers and sisters out there. Wish we all could fit in Africa and ever experience equal love from fellow humans.
Thank you for revealing to us what is happening there. We hope this racism will be over one day.
Oh, you hit the spot my friend. It's still not too late for us to join hands.
Set up organisations and groups to welcome and assist returnees to enjoy snd feel the love from the continent and their people. They will return over and over again and again.
Wow, I didn't know that black people face racism like that in Brazil. Thanks wode Maya for eye opening 🙏🏽
My grandfather emigrated to Brazil in WW2 - he said all races got along like family. I think Wode is talking to a few people with bad luck.
What are you talking about. Black people and indigenous people suffer severe discrimination. Brazil has the largest black population outside of Africa. This is a well known fact. There are abt 30 years behind the US black in terms of civil rights as they came out of slavery very late.
I hate to say this, but black people experience racism all over the world wherever you find a lot of white folks...however, let me point out that not all white folks are racist, so there is some hope for the future.
@@Uncle-Basil why do blacks from Africa want emigrate to white countries ?
Wode I asked myself many of the same questions. The answer is so simple that many people easily dismiss it. We have a racist and unjust unipolar world and economic order, led by the US, Canada, Western Europe and Australia. The purpose of the world order is to keep the white anglo saxon race on top of the power and food pyramid. That is done in two ways, divide and conquer and dehumanize the other races so that their suffering does not matter, so that their lives do not matter. The system can easily be observed locally withva country as racism. The sad thing is that many African countries are easily used against other African countries, among the most notable are Ghana and ECOWAS, used against Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. Then there is Kenya, Nigeria and Senegal.
Sounds 100% conspiracy theory!
Ecowas is a collection of countries. How is Ghana used against the francophone countries? I'm waiting
Sounds 100% correct
Real talk social Darwinism
Another stupid comment ever! How is Ghana being used by western countries? Your hate towards Ghana is palpable!… moreover, do you know how many nigerien and malian refugees are in Ghana? Their activities in Ghana is a nuisance to most Ghanaians however they are still living freely in Ghana, no one is discriminating against them!
Congrats, my brother. I loved the video.
Big Love And To All Our Brathers In Africa From Eritrea.

In the US we love you guys too. As a woman of African descent we can't guarantee you won't experience discrimination, but we as a people will have your back.
Vanessa, you should watch the interview with the wife of the French amabassador to Brazil. she is a mixed woman who identifies as Black. she had stories for days about this. imagine being the wife of the ambassador and everyone asks why are you sitting at hotel lobby

great content, thank you for this history!!
Great stuff as always. Peace and love
Loving your coverage of Brazil, Maya!! 🇧🇷 I notice that you are asking people to recall moments of racism. While these moments do exist… and often, I challenge you to think of racism as systems. In places like Brazil and here in the US, the exception of racist incidents is what many point to to say that it doesn’t exist. Structural racism - education, healthcare, housing, etc. is the most brutal form. Keep doing what you are doing, dear brother! ❤🖤💚
Great elaboration. Because what he asked only meant direct racism from human to human. But Systemic racism where the system is set up to oppress or restrict the black people is strong. Because you cannot really point a finger at it or describe it clearly because it is intertwined in the system. It is a silent racism. It is in the West as well. It exists in the UK more than the direct racism so I can relate to what to mean.
You guys should come back and invest in Africa. We still have enough space for you guys
@@sainttanyidebiggestt3250I actually am. 🙂🇬🇭
Exactly, the Black people in Brazil is only now, in the present generation, getting go to universities.
Structural racism - where every floor gets whiter the closer you go to the top.
I think that black people have to learn to love each other, be there for each other, empower each other through education and training and learn to be self reliant and hard working. With such virtues they will be able to uplift their lives and if necessary live in their own communities and run their own lives. This is a very enlightening vlog Wode Maya keep them coming, I pray for the equality of all races in the world, because we are indeed equal, is humanity. 😅
It is a shame and sad to hear that black afro Brazilians do not want to be identified as Africans or of African origin, that is scandalous, people gain respect because they have a culture, an identity, a root that they not only identify with but are proud of, so by denying their African roots they are looked down upon by the whites, it is time they learnt the Swahili saying "mkosa Mila ni mtumwa" which simply means he who has no culture, no roots, is a slave simple as that.
What makes you think Black people aren't hard-wotking???
Do you also believe that Chocolate milk come from Brown cows?🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@georgehosea139I like that parable .. we have same in my language too. Dont blame them, they are only a victim of racism.. what racism does is to strip you of whatever dignity and identity you have that you don't have a choice but to start feeling ashamed of who you are.

Great video, racism will be reduced significantly with ECONOMIC success of the great majority of Afro-Brazilians ( store owners, professionals, real estate ownership, succesful artists and sports players).
FINALLY a good comment! Yes the real solution is Blacks ECONOMIC success! Every young Black with energy should be learning about entrepreneurship. Wode sometimes highlights the success stories, just not today! :(

According to the Federal Police of Brazil, almost 6,000 children were killed between 1988 and 1991. It's just too sad.
