Not apequenem our democracy! The issue of quotas for blacks

The Brazil & eacute; a country & iacute; s complex and which has a wide array of civilization. Ra & ccedil; most, ancestralities beliefs and mixed in a huge boile HANDS, the former to form & oacute; toxic and friendly figure & eacute; Brazilian. Joaquim Nabuco and Castro Alves & iacute; is & HAND to the display in the n & atilde process, it was f á cyl; By & eacute; m Gilberto Freyre and S & eacute; rgio Buarque de Holanda d & atilde, the us the testimony of import & acirc; & INSTANCE it as ccedil; & atilde; the our car & aacute; have national.

Ask if any Brazilian about his ancestry and we will answer for v á rivers pa & iacute; ses the world – notably the European, Jap & atilde; and the African. Even so, the states & ccedil; & atilde, the base continues to be & quot; I am Brazilian & quot;. Without entering into superficial debate over whether Brazil has or n & atilde; the 500 years old house & oacute; ria, what we can see in this per & iacute; odo was the subs & iacute; estrus relationship & ccedil; & otilde; es hier á rquico-dominant at first and fusion & atilde, the careless at a later time: mulattos, Mamelukes and cafuzos!

Regardless of what they say in books written in English and & ecirc; s or & ecirc franc; s, in the MAKE-HANDS, the ra & ccedil; s & oacute; & Eacute; app á vel at times of our historic & oacute; ria social. Generally, its presence & ccedil; a & eacute; More ret & oacute; rich than real. The multiplicity est & eacute; Brazilian ethics prevents us from entering into perfect concepts for ra & ccedil, the, which made us create abstraction & ccedil; & otilde; es as the mulatto and brown. One person, not Paran & aacute;, Bahia and Acre would be classified differently.

On the other hand, just look with a little more calm for econ & FLYING reality, Brazilian mico-social to realize that there is something wrong. In the classrooms of universities p & uacute; Republics rarely see a black (or african-american, as some prefer alienated from Brazilian reality). Vis & otilde, it is simplistic mais – is that, therefore, & atilde be; the totally ignored this text – defend id & eacute; ia & discriminate ccedil; & HAND as the cause of the aus & ecirc; INSTANCE.

Social scientists identify the constant marginalization & ccedil; & atilde, the the black (and mixtures thereof) along our hist & oacute; ria as respons á vel so. Like this, parents with little opportunity & n atilde, the would be able to offer their children more than able, to reproduce inequality.

In order to break this c & iacute; vicious circle, It becomes increasingly strong debate around the applicable & ccedil; & atilde; the pol & iacute; positive optical, that is, of Interferon & ecirc; INSTANCE the game rules in order to allow this population & ccedil; & atilde, the excluded & iacute; the get access & aggravate; s opportunities. Between those who defend these pol & iacute; nontoxic & atilde; the lack refer & ecirc; TRENDS & the Americans or worse examples; virtuous measures adopted by President Kennedy.

The first thing to be clarified & eacute; the US n & atilde; s & atilde; o o Brazil. That pa & iacute; s RA & ccedil; is the & HAND clearly arranged in social geography, and the State to guarantee the conv & iacute; vio Pac & iacute; I am in the world pol & iacute; tico. Instead, no Brasil or conv RIVER pol saw RIVER das tico ra & ccedil, as confused-se com or conv RIVER saw social. The discriminates & ccedil; & atilde, the – social problem – here n & atilde; the & eacute; against black, By & eacute; m against the poor. In m & aacute; ximo can find prejudices, that s & HAND or cultural problems.

The introduction & ccedil; & atilde; the racial quotas in pa & iacute; s where the system classificat & oacute; racial River & eacute; incomplete and individual, the use of ra & ccedil, the differentiator as power & aacute; is MAKE-air construction MAKE-HANDS, the artificial standard & otilde; s are & eacute; toxic (and AT & eacute; even & eacute; ticos) ra & ccedil; the. Thereby, Shot Power & aacute; backfire and, to inv & eacute; s promote insertion MAKE-HANDS, the people or groups marginalized, We end up fragmenting the Brazilian society into separate groups and strained relationship. Featuring lit still a democracy & uacute; rgica, We run the risk of transforming Brazilian society in seq & uuml; & ecirc; INSTANCE rituals that does little to help consolidate the & quot; & quot racial democracy;.

To solve the problem of exclusion & atilde; we should eat & ccedil, air eliminating our old habit of taking conseq & uuml; & ecirc; TRENDS as causes. If n & blacks atilde; T & ecirc; m & worse access; s universities, n & atilde; being & aacute; protecting them in an artificial way that we can change this lies & ccedil; & atilde, the. In general the black s & atilde, the poor and studying in low quality schools, which hinders their access through & eacute; s common entrance exam. Therefore, we need better and n & atilde schools, the special quotas. Al & eacute; m it all, & Eacute; necessary & aacute; rio these fam & iacute; lias have access & aggravate; erudi & ccedil; & atilde, the (theaters, cinemas, libraries) so they can expand their cultural references. This & eacute; made with pol & iacute; decent optical and seeking to stimulate the potential of each.

Moral of the hist & oacute; ria: if the problem is satisfying Stats & iacute; racial sticas, distribuam is t-RIVER titles; Yet, if the problem is to build a fairer society, distribute to citizenship.
