Lock us all UP!!!!!!!!

Reading a interesting article about Brazil and racism. This kind of made me laugh,because, if America made this law applicable, like 90 percent of the population would go to prison within the first 3 months after enactment. Antonio Carlos, was charged by a Brazilian prosecutor of racism, which means nothing to you and I, however in that country racism is illegal and the charge carries a 3 year prison sentence. I knew there was more to this country other than hot women, carnival, bossanova and ethanol fueled cars.

But the backdrop for those not in the know. Brazil had the second largest African slave population in the western hemisphere, only to be outdone by our fine country(of course, we lose at nothing, not even slavery). The Portuguese and Indians and Slaves all intermarried (cough...brutally raped) and created a huge bi-racial..tri-racial(made that up) population, and just like America, people were discriminated against and wealth was distributed unevenly based on hues and family history. Lighter hues were given opportunities within industry and politics, while a darker complexion were denied that luxury and sentenced to a life of living in rampant poverty. If your wondering how I know all this sh**, its due to my Ivy league education and Latin America history class.

If you should ever wonder why Brazilian women are considered the most beautiful in the world--its probably because they have the best of all worlds working in there favor. Dam I need to make a trip to Sao Paulo or Rio in the next year.
