Racism in Brazilian football? One wonders where it has been hidden all this whiles until now? I would not put the blame too far from the negative influence of racist incidents emanating across the major European leagues such as the English Premier League, the notorious Spanish La Liga and the Italian Serie A to mention a few. Mention can also be made of such rampant incidents of racism in both the European Championship and the Europa leagues respectively. Since these leagues are broadcast in most third world countries, couple with the fact that we from such countries tend to copy blindly everything we see from the Europeans, even so a cohesive country like Brazil has also fallen victim to copy from them such hideous notoriety. Time to rethink what we import from these people; the very people that would invade your nation, impose their laws, customs and tradition on you and force you to accept that homosexuality is evil and against the law (at a time when most of these countries hardly knew what homosexuality actually was) only for them to return centuries later to force you again to abolish such law and accept homosexuals.

What has happened to the several skeletal remains of mass-buried slaves that were found during the construction of a World Cup stadium in Brazil. Brazilians of African origin have never been respected and given equal opportunity in Brazil. What has been given them is Christian belief that they are children of God and should forget about Africa. Thus African Brazilians rarely think of themselves as African and would have nothing to do with Africa. This leaves them to be continuously enslaved in today's Brazil especially by the multinational companies that operate in their territories. Ghana must watch out as Brazilian companies descend on the country with to invest. Their motive is only to milk the country and maximize their return irrespective of destruction they may cause the environment. They care less about Ghana's development. Ghana is African and with peoples Brazilian companies consider as sub-human

The other time I have to confront Mr. Akodor when he supported a U.S. scientist, whose son is said to be mentally retarded, but wrote that Negroes are inferior to other races. Human beings belong to the species of animal, or to be precise ape called Homo Sapiens. There is a fact that animals depending on the part of the Earth they live, though are of the same species, yet have different colours and hair structure. It is a fact that cows in West Africa are mainly brown, black and white and that is the same species of animal. My father, his eldest sister and brother have a brown colour, but the rest of his brothers and sister are ebony, which they took from my grandfather. Our grandmother had a light brown skin and straight hair. My father and his sister and brother who have brown skin are not superior in intellect and physical power to their brothers and sister, as well as their cousins whose mother was ebony.
We wrote the other time how a Negro happen to help Russia to become a great nation. It is a fact that depending on the condition, there are some agricultural and hunting implements that are found only on the continent of Africa, which shows that Africans, therefore Negroes are not inferior to other races.
I am not sure if racist Europeans feed their black horses with stone, just because they are black.
The fact is that there is an effort by some Europeans and Arabs to wipe out the Negroid race from the face of the Earth. There are political parties formed in the Arabian Gulf, Europe, United States of America and Latin America with the same aim. Those groups have the support of the leaders of NATO countries. Ask NATO where are the Negroes of Basra?

How did the white get the brains to build ships and travel to africa, several miles away to enslave us ? Why not the other way round?
How many inventions has the blackman made compared to the white since "creation"?
Why does the average blackman consider himself inferior to the white? what is in the blackman brain that make us think so? And if we are being brainwashed, how and when did the brainwashing start?
Did God create white and black with the same brains and abilities? on the same playing ground?
Can we ever change the status quo?

It sounds very new to most people, but is the truth. I was resident in Brazil for 10 months on a study course, and to be honest enough, Brazil is not the paradise that people think. Is plagued with the highest form of discremination. The country is divided in so many categories, The white invaders,Portuguese, Japanese, Koreans, Germans. The blacks are called MULATO's, and the indegeneous people of Brazil are called INDOS. The country is been ruled only by the invaders, to whom all the industries belong to. The capital of Brazil, Berlitz, is only accessible in terms of residence to the rulers and diplomats. Any one who works in the capital have their resident not less than 30 miles from the capital. There is more to tell, but all I say is, Brazil is not paradise as people think, there is war going on within that country on racial equality for decades.

There is no thesis or dissertation required to know racism, like tribalism, exists; being surprised at racism in Brazil is indicative of people who do not read and or not up to date on world events. Every slum, filth and drug infested (favelas) community in Brazil is a community reserved for Brazilian black population not by choice but by design. In Ghana politicians who gain power via political parties formed and managed out of tribal preferences do promote, fund, create job opportunities as well as stealing opportunities for people mostly from their tribes. The people who left to suffer are the fools who are willing to die for a party cause even as they continue to live in filthy neighborhoods with party colors wrapped around their ramshackle mud houses.
In Brazil, as in other emerging market and developed nation, the plight of black citizens can be traced to national and or regional laws passed to prohibit blacks from owning property, living freely in communities of their choice, subjecting them to abuse, humiliation and denial from public school systems for up to hundreds of years. In the meantime the majority race had the privileges granted them by law without competition from blacks. It is only when the majority populations have made it in life they absolve their evil deeds and guilt by enacting laws proclaiming blacks to be equal even as they retain and do everything to hold on to their societal power s, privileges and wealth from generation to generation. In each of these nations, there are criminal laws intended to hold in bondage its criminals in perpetuity (mostly blacks) while they become selective enforcing laws governing aiding and abetting laws and or laws that disallows people to benefit financially from criminal activities. Is it not a crime to deny the freedoms and or liberties of other human being? Where has the majority prohibited the wealth acquired by the forefathers through preferential laws to be handed down to generations?
In Ghana we have tribal preferences that has allowed some of Ghana’s prolific criminal tribes to claim superiority over others. Why must Ghana’s history books for classroom be allowed to exclude everything about the Nkrumah era? Was that era not part of Ghana’s history? And who were the leaders who made these decisions? Who are those who deemed bomb throwers like Obetsibi-Lamptey a hero for any political party? Yes we may not design our hatred based on race but we have an even more cynical and dangerous preferences based on tribe. We do not have to go much further back into history to know the effects of tribal animus in Ghana; we just have to look at the NPP of today or its NDC counterparts if we dared believe there is a right or a wrong on race or tribal ground. Why else would Ashantis and or Kyebis in the NPP think all positions of power and of Ghana’s office of presidency be reserved for them in a party claiming to be national and or of Ghana's intellectuals? Why else would J.J. Rawlings have had the power to use Ghana's military full of his tribesmen to ruin Ghana in the name of probity? Why else would Ghana have overthrown some of its duly elected presidents by a few tribally motivated military men? Why else would some idiots masquerading as church leaders and or Rev Prof or Right Rev’s spew ungodly insults on a sitting president from their tribal regions and hideouts and still have congregations? Even those Ghanaian athletes who claim to have suffered abuse in other nations do return to Ghana and partake in tribal based practices as long as it is someone else who has to deal with their kind of tribal abuse.
