How This Leftist Black Woman Won in Brazil
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2022
- Brazil is on high alert as the country goes to the polls to choose between the current right-wing president and former army officer Jair Bolsonaro, and the leftist former trade union leader Inácio Lula da Silva.
But they aren't the only ones running for office.
Renata Souza is one of the few Afro-Brazilian women running for office in Brazil - and it isn’t easy.
Souza has moved homes twice already because of death threats and can’t go anywhere without a security detail and a bulletproof car. She also has to face a very real threat: armed militias that control access to certain neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro.
Join AJ+ as we hit the campaign trail with Souza and discover what it’s like to be a Black politician running for office in Brazil.

As an African American its always a blessing to hear & see more of Brazil, & the African descent women & men that make so much of its histroic heritage & culture. BLM
BLM is not for blacks
All the way from Baltimore, USA. 🖤❤🖤❤🖤
Brazil was like South Africa on steroids with its racism to even GBV when I visited. I cried watching this, mostly that I’m tired that we keep suffering everywhere and also because this is the beginning of a beautiful change for Afro-Brazilians. You aren’t alone and sending you love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Whats GBV? thanks
I love and admire Mandela, but South Africa hasn't improve in 30 years, for what I have seen ecomically is worst than before. Rampant corruption.
@@JardielDisplay well Mandela is a sensitive topic and why would you expect it to improve when colonizers and the West didn’t want to give people of color their own economy? It was the strongest economy in the world at a time. Strongest currency but the color of the leaders matter.
GBV?
@@petergeramin7195 gender based violence
The Portuguese were very cruel and brutal towards black and indigenous people. Brazil is exactly the way they wanted it the Portuguese wanted. They themselves were not educated and they did everything to hold black people back. Portugal is not very different. The hate and violence against black people in Portugal is unacceptable.
I stand in solidarity with my brothers and sisters in Brazil.
Brazil has had more time in independence than as a colony or province. Blaming Portugal at this point is victim syndrome. There is no excuse now.
Also, no idea what youre talking about regarding "violence against black people in Portugal"
Long live black Brazilian women movement .
From Iranian women struggle to Brazilian women struggle we will creat a better world for everyone .
Stay strong, Iranian women! We are following your struggle and you're all in our hearts! We look up to you ❤❤❤❤
You are strong woman. Keep going
Inshallah
Power to you both.
Its the Black Brazilian movement. Stop making it a gender issue.
Sad how over 50% if the people are of African ancestry yet there's no power in numbers because of the politics and colorism entrenched into society. I hope that Brazil can get on the right track and our people won't have to deal with this. I hop the same for all of us Black people especially here in the USA.
The army won't let it happen
Black Americans in the USA are more unified! That’s how our institutions have lasted over 150 years, afro Brazilian don’t even have there own schools 😢
@@javionriley8739 we're more unified? Oh damn....then that's a bad sign when a people are less united than we are! Because look at us, we were, but today we are struggling hard with that issue!
The people are not focused on how people look. The people are focused on actual issues. Actual issues.
@@javionriley8739 I dont really think that having separate schools is a good thing. Its better that all public schools are mixed raced and white and black kids can be together since an earlier age.
Literally teared up hearing her say that she does not want to be a statue like her friend-that she wants to live.
The courage and bravery is absolutely resounding.
She better start wiht stop drinking coca cola
I pray for this woman's safety from those who try to do her harm. God bless. 🙏🏾
Both Renata and Taliria were re-elected to state and federal deputies, respectively, as the third most voted among te candidates from Rio for each position.
* I just remembered that our elections are very different from the American ones and maybe the information doesn't seem so impressive . In Brazil we do not vote for districts, all state votes are considered. Renata was the third most voted among those vying for one of the 70 seats in the State Assembly Taliria the third among the vacancies for Federal (I think 48).
Bolsanaro lost. Does Lula state what he plans to do for Black Brazil? What did he or Rouseff do for Black Brazil before?
There's alot of organized crime in Rio similar to Mexico. And the innocent civilians get caught in the cross fire. And alot of politicians are involved in the carrying out of these crimes. I don't think giving guns to civilians will solve the problem because there are always domestic disputes.
Totally agreed! Giving guns to civilians is NOT the solution, especially in a country like Brazil, where most people aren't prepared and trained to use guns.
Biggest problem is the state organized black mass-executions in the favelas !
Bolsonaro is making it easier for ordinary citizens to carry a gun, do you think anyone will be able to have a gun? There has to be a certain training, a psychological test, if you research, you will see
That crime dropped in the Bolsonaro government, and it dropped a lot
@@Joaopedrostk yes, dropped in Narnia, cause in Brazil it has just gotten worse
Hope everything goes good for them. We elected a teacher for president in Peru, of native american looks, like my family and myself, and he turned out to be a very disappointing leader. Politics and gov. administration is a big challenge... Good luck, Brazil. You deserve health and prosperity.
I am with my Afro Brazilian people. Stay strong Renata.🙏🙏
Always askd myself if 50% of population are afro-brazilian...how comes i never see them running for office and running the government.. to make changes in that beautiful country!! She needs to be protected by all means...she's a roll model to many females out there... Bless

These people are incredibly hypocrite! She says militia elects politics, which is true. But she doesn't even touchs the fact that the drug trade in the favelas does elect people, to be politics, much more than the molitia. But she can't talk against drug trafficking cuz she needs the drug lords to give her free pasa into the favelas where her voltes come from. This kind of partiality is incredibly disgusting for me

Bad Jews - A History of American Jewish Infighting
Emily Tamkin, a Jewish writer from the UK who writes about American Jewry, has recently published a book titled Bad Jews: A History of American Jewish Politics and Identities. The book’s publisher, Hurst, describes it as “A lively, thoughtful history of America’s Jews, exploring their complex relationships with national culture, identity, and politics-and each other.”
The book caused a bit of a stir among Jewish publications. JTA, for example, wrote that Tamkin “takes a different tack, tracing the history of American Jewry through the ways Jews on one side of social upheaval seek to discredit the very Jewishness of those on the other side.” The book itself focuses on what is happening in America, since “American Jewish history,” writes Tamkin, “is full of discussions and debates and hand-wringing over who is Jewish, and how to be Jewish, and what it means to be Jewish.”
When a student of mine told me about the book, he asked for my opinion on these questions, stating that they “haunt” virtually every Jewish person. He also noted that when Tamkin asked people, “What comes to mind when you hear ‘Bad Jew’?” the most common answer she got was “When I think of a ‘Bad Jew,’ I think of myself.” Since, as Tamkin writes, “The issue of what it means, or doesn’t, to be a Good Jew or a Bad Jew is particularly fraught at this moment in US history,” the student asked for my take on the topic.
So, first, we need to realize where the word Yehudi (Jewish) comes from. There is the known answer, that Yehudi comes from Yohuda (Judah), the name of the tribe that lived in the land of Israel during the Second Temple. However, there is another meaning to the word: Yehudi also comes from the word Yechudi, meaning united. This makes perfect sense if you remember that we were pronounced a nation only after we committed to love each other “as one man with one heart” at the foot of Mt. Sinai, yet, for the most part, this explanation did not receive the notoriety it deserves.
If you look at being Jewish through the spectacle of Jewish unity, as I do, then being a good Jew means first and foremost that you want to unite with all the Jews, that this is what really matters to you, your prime value. If Jewishness is about unity, then a Jew is a person who knows, feels, understands, and even spreads the idea that the most important thing is to be connected in ties of love with all the Jews, regardless of denomination, customs, political views, or any other issue that currently divides and splinters the Jewish people.
The author wrote that one of the answers she got to the question about the meaning of being a bad Jew was “someone whose conception of Judaism doesn’t have applications to the wider world.” I understand where this answer comes from. It is with good reason Jews gave the correction of the world such a pivotal place in their identity. We even gave that mission its own Hebrew term, Tikkun Olam (Hebrew for “Correction of the World”).
However, we must know what it means to correct the world, to be responsible for it, or even to care about the world. Tikkun Olam are not simply words; they imply a very specific task, and until we accomplish it, we will not be “good Jews.”
At the “inauguration” of our people, we were commanded to unite “as one man with one heart,” as RASHI interprets. Immediately after, we were declared a nation and were tasked with being “a light to the nations.”
In other words, our unity and our obligation to the world are indivisible. We cannot be a light to the nations if we are not united. At the same time, we cannot unite unless we do it in order to be a light to the nations.
When our ancestors united for the first time, under the guidance of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they were not a biologically related group. They were an eclectic crowd that was taken by the idea that all the people should unite, and we should not succumb to our ego. This is why Abraham advocated kindness and mercy, to teach people how to rise above their self-absorption and care for one another.
Abraham was a maverick, a pioneer, a trailblazer, but thanks to him, these noble ideas are now universal. As a nation that formed out of disparate tribes and clans, it was our duty to be the living proof of Abraham’s paradigm. This is why we became a nation only after we united, and not a moment prior.
Since our inception, we have known that unity is our “secret weapon.” However, we never understood why, what was the secret of the strength in our unity. The secret is not that unity itself makes us undefeatable, but that our unity dissolves the world’s hatred toward us and turns it into respect and awe. It gives the world the example of unity that it needs so that all of humanity can unite, as well.
Not only we received a message when we were at the foot of Mt. Sinai. At that moment, the nations of the world received the knowledge that we received the calling. Since then, they have been waiting for us to live up to it. This is why they support us when we are united, and scold us when we are divided.
Being a good Jew or a bad Jew, therefore, is not a judgment we pass on each other or on ourselves. It is determined by our commitment to the world, which we fulfill through our efforts to unite among ourselves and serve as an example that if we-the most divided nation, whose members often abhor one another-can unite, then the whole world can, as well.

Brazilian keep your sister under the blood of Jesus, day and night. Jesus is Lord over every situation. Just believe. You cannot do it by yourself. We have to first Forgive the enemies. That's what Jesus said. Then we have to make up our minds to repent on behalf of our forefathers and ourselves for the disobedience towards God's commandments. Please read the book . Especially Deuteronomy 28. Psalms 81. How many times it's says (God) if you would listen to HIM. What HE will do for HIS people.👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.

Why is gender separation constantly emphasized as it pertains to Black sociopolitical movements across the diaspora??? Black Brazilians as a demographic are marginalized & underrepresented. Shoutout to all the beautiful sisters putting in the good work to empower their communities but gender should be an afterthought when the focus should be the dismantling of a white supremacist/anti-black system that harms the community as a whole. By no means am I advocating for the silencing of issues that particularly affect Black women but I just want ppl to realize that the only way to achieve measurable & sustainable sociopolitical progress is with purposeful, cohesive, & mutual collaboration btwn brothers & sisters.

Brazil is a highly mixed country. If half of the population is black then you can also say that 70 % of the population is white ... those so claimed "black people" have black ancestry as they have white ancestry, black people according to the ibge (Brazilian institute of geography and statistics) represent only of 10 % of population. Brazil is a black majority country ? certainly not, it is a white majority ? hell no, it is a mixed majority country I'm afraid than not. There aren't ethnic majorities in Brazil even if mixed people will become the majority, it is not yet the case.
You didn’t say much here, did you?
Ro14852,
I understand what you trying to say, but Brazil racial discrimination is made by apperance, not by percentage of blood drop.
If you appear European, you are automatically hired and have hire salary than those who look less European.
People are humiliating Brazilians who have phenotype that appears Africoïd, even if the person is 70% White.
In Brazil black men have the worst part, they only use them as manual workers while black women work as domestic servants and if they are lucky enough, they might be hired as a secretary.
There are regions in southern Brazil where blacks are arrested and cant go, it's almost like the old south African days
This is a great advertisement for Bolsonaro ngl
A majority black country, with a minority black representation. Keep convincing hearts and minds of the Brazilian public, and im sure the tide will turn in the right direction. However, that wont stop the issue of crime and violence. Majority of crime in Brazil is black on black crime. And black people committing majority of the petty crimes outside their neighborhoods. Electing more black people wont solve that problem.
The wealth is in the hands of a whyt minority. Black people are locked out of jobs and education. Lula changed a lot of that during his tenure. I lived in Brazil and saw it with my own eyes. Hopefully now that he's won sanity will return and the MAJORITY will come out of the 500 years of organized oppression
This is a silly argument on your part. Crime usually occurs based on proximity and off course, extreme poverty. Fixing the inequalities would help lessen these problems. And first step is by electing diverse representatives.
Solutions come next to visibility
@@yojiviriak675 really? according to what data? Can you show me? Should i name you a few countries where visibility increased after colonialism, and the country went downwards?

Hahaha it’s a Brazilian thing
Amazing that this is your takeaway from this video.
Usually, it means that the water quality is poor/not safe and distasteful.
@@v.a.993 So you think that instead of them boiling water to drink, they just drink coke? You must be joking.
@@Solidude4 It's a favela! Favelas lack official water/sewage infastructures. Poor quality water sources are systemic, not periodic. So, no. Boiling water is not the answer to the systemic problem. That is an overly simplistic "band-aid" solution, the problem with water/sewage in the favelas is beyond that at this point, and has been for a very long time.
As a black Brazilian I need to say. This video didn’t reflected the reality of Brazil. All this race thing we have in the US and some are trying to import to Brazil doesn’t work there bc 90% of the population can’t specify what race they really are. If you look at me, I’m black, as my dad and my sister. If you look at my mom and my brother, they’re blond. The same story repeat with most of the family since 3 or 4 generations. This video is all BS.
The overall point of the video and others similar is that the caste system/hierarchy in Brazil is based on color. It started centuries ago and has been rigidly reinforced/maintained through the present. Colorism in Brazil is akin to racism in the United States.
@@v.a.993 as a black Brazilian I can assure you that this point is wrong. I grew up at the favelas, with blond friends whom hate police bc their experience with them, and with black friends who have no problem with the police. The problem in Brazilian society is disparity of income, rich v poor. All this white bad black good thing they keep alive in US doesn’t exist there, even though media want to show as a real thing in Brazil.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about prejudice against the poor, which both my father and I (blacks) and my brother and mother (whites) suffered in the past.
