Couple questions racism in Brazil in highlighting the beauty of those most ignored: black peopleNote from BW of Brazil: A common question/battle by black Brazilians in many genres of society is “Onde estão os negros?”, meaning, ‘where are the black people?’Television, film and advertising are but a few areas where the under-representation or complete invisibility of Brazilians of visible African descent are very obvious. It’s quite easy to pick up any magazine on a newsstand, flip through the pages and not see a single black face, whether as models or in the advertisements. As we have heard for a number of years, within these industries, there is an underlining ideology that says that ‘blacks don’t sell‘ or having blacks representing a certain product will scare away the parcel of the population that the market really represents: white people. It’s as if black people don’t matter or that they don’t have the right to be seen or see themselves as beautiful. It’s an issue that needs to be discussed and more and more Afro-Brazilians are asking the question.See the full story by clicking below:Couple questions racism in Brazil in highlighting the beauty of those most ignored: black people -- source link
