Growing up in Brazil, I remember my father, a thick-glass-wearing-highly-educated-meteorogist-Afro-Brazilian-man, constantly telling me to move out of our house. He used to say: “Move as far as you can from us and make a life for yourself elsewhere.” I remember my clenched teeth and how my veins grew hot. I thought: “How outrageous! I am only a teenager! Where would I go anyhow?” But my father was used to moving. He was in the military, working as an air-traffic controller for the Brazilian Air Force. That meant we were somewhat part of the lower middle class. Although, everywhere we moved, to the apartment in Barra Beach in Salvador, the several homes in suburbia Rio de Janeiro or in Belo Horizonte, we were the only Black family around.

The killing of an Afro-Brazilian man, and the widespread outrage it has sparked, underscores the urgent need for the Government to tackle racism and racial discrimination in South America’s largest country, the UN human rights office, OHCHR, said on Tuesday.
João Alberto Silveira Freitas was beaten to death by two private security guards outside a Carrefour supermarket in the southern city of Porto Alegre last Thursday, the eve of Black Consciousness Day in Brazil. The killing of João Alberto Silveira Freitas – an Afro-descendent beaten to death by 2 private security guards on the eve of #BlackConsciousness Day – is an extreme but sadly all too common example of the violence suffered by Black people in #Brazil https://t.co/syA03dBnDmpic.twitter.com/hXzEvdoqw7 UN Human Rights (@UNHumanRights) November 24, 2020
