Like I’m sorry maybe it’s just me but I’m at a complete and total loss at the fact that you as a black person can support someone who’s literally denounced your whole fucking race and where you’ve come from economically? I’m not Brazilian but the fact that mostly black players are the ones doing this is so hard to fathom. Especially in the case of Brazilian players like Neymar, Lucas, and Jesus who grew up in poverty and almost didn’t make it out…Like you do realize that just because you have money doesn’t change the fact that he still views you as one of us and doesn’t give a flying fuck about you except for making the Brazilian national team look good? That’s it. God I’m just honestly so upset and disgusted because I grew up viewing some of these same men as my heroes.

and to think i supported a lot of the brasil players who are now facists 

[emrecan-deactivated20190408]

and what makes this even more insane is that they are black. But, because they have been colonized in their mind and by money, they are trying so hard to seperate themselves from anything black

Pink Floyd ex-member declared Brazilian presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro as the South American country’s “neo-fascist on the rise,” displaying on screen symbols used by brazilians against the far right candidate.

Long but important post. Please share!

I know Tumblr tends to be very US-centric, but there is something happening in my country that I absolutely have to share.

Soon, Brazil will host presidential elections. These are the first elections since the impeachment of our last president Dilma Rouseff.

The leading candidate is currently Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is a man who has made racist, sexist, and homophobic claims such as, “I would rather my son die in a car accident than be gay,” and, “my sons would not date black women as they were well educated.” He even said to a woman that she was, “so ugly” that she, “didn’t even deserve to get raped.”

A few decades ago, when Brazil was under a military dictatorship, the government tortured many people for speaking out against the regime. Bolsonaro has said that, “their only mistake was not killing those people.”

However, something incredible has been happening.

A movement called Mulheres Unidas Contra Bolsonaro (Women United Against Bolsonaro) has been surfacing. The hashtag #EleNão (#NotHim) has been getting popular and gaining international attention.

Yesterday, women all over Brazil (and the world!) protested against Bolsonaro.

Here are some pictures.

São Paulo, Brazil:

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil:

Ilhéus, Brazil:

Cuiabá, Brazil:

Porto Alegre, Brazil:

Brazilians living abroad also joined the protests!

Zurich, Switzerland:

Madrid, Spain:

Melbourne, Australia:

New York City, US:

Protests occurred in over 62 cities around the world.

Even if you’re not Brazilian, please share this post! Show your support and raise awareness of the movement!
