How does Brazil differentiate between its black and Mulatto people?

Answer 1

In Brazil, negro and mulatto, fall into the same category.
No Brasil, o preto e o mulato, pertencem ao mesmo grupo.

No much difference, even in the South, where racism is still very alive, but quite quiet.

Nao ha muita diferenca, ate mesmo no Sul, onde o racismo
ainda esta bem vivinho, e bem quieto.

From Rio to North, there has always been a great tolerance in the black race.

Do Rio para o norte, sempre houve uma grande tolerancia com a raca negra.

Brazil is blessed with this great African lineage, with its gorgeous blend of black and white, to create the mulato.

O Brasil tem a graca (c cedilhado), de possur essa grandiosa estirpe africana, com essa belissima mistura do negro com o branco, que criou o mulato.

Our great blacks and mulatos:
In sports: Look at Pele: At just 17, he was the best player in Sweden, giving Brazil its 1st Soccer World Cup (1958).

Nossos ilustres negros e mulatos:
No mundo dos esportes: Olha o Pele: Com apenas 17 anos, foi o melhor jogador na Suecia, levando o Brasil ao sua primeira Copa do Mundo(1958)!

Our great writer Machado de Assis: was a mulatto.

Nosso grande escritor Machado de Assis, era mulato...

...and so, Elza Soares and Angela Maria were some of our greatest singers.

...como tambem, E.S. e A.M. foram algumas das nossas melhores cantoras.

In the arts: One of our greatest culptors of all times, Aleijadinho and painter Lito Cavalcante..

No mundo das artes: Um dos maiores escultores de todos os tempos: Aleijadinho.

Comparing the Black history between Brazil and US::
We Brazilians had the racial integration, immediately when slavery was abolished, by Princess Isabel, in 1888, while in America, racial integration was signed by President Johnson, in 1964 (76 after Brazil).

Comparando a historia negra, dos EE.EE e a do Brasil:
No Brasil: a integracao racial foi imediatamente no momento da abolicao, decreto da Princesa Isabel, em 1888, enquanto que nos EE.UU, a Lei da Integracao Racial foi decretada pelo Presidente Johnson, em l964 (76 anos mais tarde do que no Brasil).

As a matter of fact, this might explain, the reason why American blacks have a very heavy accent (except those college educated) while Brazilian blacks and mulattos, have no black accent.

Alias, isso pode explicar, o porque do negro americano ter um sotaque bem carregado (exceto os que foram a universidade) enquanto que negros e mulatos do Brasil nao tem sotaque de sua etnia.

In Brazil we have a very special admiration for the black-black and for the mulatto girls, for their color, well cared body and mischiveous and passionate smile.!

No Brasil, a gente tem um carinho especial pelas pretas e pelas mulatas, pela sua tez, corpo bem cuidado e um sorriso travesso e apaixonante!

In Brazil, the very black and the mulattos, presently, face no differences in social encounters, career achievement or in any other field of life...

No Brasil, o preto e o mulato, atualmente, nao enfrentam diferencas no campo social, sucesso na profissao ou em qualquer outro caminho da vida...

Answer 3

´Cause brazillian people is a result of a great collonization for a lot of peoples around the world. Have a planty of black men, Indians, Mulattos, Mamelucos, Spanish, germany, holland, between others. Is a "true Sallad" of ethinia. We have not an specific people, but have all at same; are you understanding?

Answer 4

To be quite honest to you, it's still a blur in our minds, because for a lot of people it's still not comfortable to say that someone is black, or African-Brazilian. Mind you, there are some real black guys who are referred to as "dark"... But, in general, mulatos are a little tan, have nippy hair, African-like features, but are not really black.

Answer 5

The difference between Black and Mulatto is the mixture of races. Mulatto is the mixture between a White and a Dark Skinned person. Here in Brasil a Mulatto can consider himself even white, because the concept here of Black or white is related with the color of skin. Many Brazilians that have Africans ascendents are considered white here.

Answer 6

Good question

Answer 7

its my understanding that the favelas are filled with the darker Brazilians. I dont know if that means that there is racism in Brazil, but it sure has racism's footprint.

Answer 8

I dont know.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Now everybody wants to be black, no matter if the skin colour is light brown; if your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's mother was black, then you are black, cos that way you can get easily into university and if someone does anything that you dislike you just say the person is racist and that is a horrible crime. Now tell me who's got pure white blood on planet earth?

Answer 11

here in Brazil all we are equal... at least pra me not impota the color, the race or the religion... we are all equal given arms or not... kisses in its heart.
