pure alpha are you an unemployed adult living in the basement of your parents with nothing better to do than troll AF behind your keyboard and TV?

No, yes, no, yes, no. But since you did not split your questions with punctuation, you will have to guess how those map.

I would ask the same question to the mods.

Do you even know what you are trying to argue?

Pretty sure he doesn’t, Americans just randomly argue about everything without thinking.

I don’t even know what the point is anymore lol. He wants ‘statistical evidence’ that racial relations are more cordial in Brasil. You’d think the fact that they managed to integrate without a civil rights movt., the fact that there was never a Brazilian KKK or perhaps the fact that in current day Brazil Black people are happy enough that they don’t feel the need to go and form a Black Lives Matter movt. or shoot cops in retaliation would be sufficient evidence.

ah, i see the original post was edited. nvm you americans have this figured out and it looks like its going swimmingly well. have at it

Found this article on a sidebar about the prison riots and thought of this discussion:

" The police committed more than 1 in every 6 of Rio de Janeiro’s homicides between 2010 and 2013.

And 4 out of 5 of those who are slain overall were under 29 years old — and of African descent.

These startling figures come from an analysis of official homicide data by Amnesty International. The problem spans far beyond Rio, and more recent incidents have raised concern that it’s not going away.

Earlier this month, five police officers in Rio de Janeiro were arrested after a cellphone video showed them altering a crime scene by placing a gun in the hands of a black teen they had just shot dead.

Echoing United States movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #RiseUpOctober, activists in Brazil are fighting to draw attention to the problem of killings of young black Brazilian men, frequently by police. One of the leading local movements is Amnesty International’s “Jovem Negro Vivo,” meaning “Young Black Alive.”"
