“calm down it’s not a big deal man” (cr. ddalche)

Another black man was horrifically murdered in Brazil. Last Thursday, João Alberto Silveira Freitas, 40, was beaten to death by the securities of the international franchise of supermarkets, Carrefour, in Porto Alegre.

This happened the day before our national Black Consciousness day, that in some cities can be considered a holiday (by the way, it's a holiday here in São Paulo City). This sparkled a wave of protests across Brazil, where the protesters went to stores of the said market to say enough is enough. Like some protests from Black Lives Matter, there were some looting (which I don't condemn at all) and of course, the media's coverages classified that as acts of "vandalism", as if the killing of Black people isn't a big deal and stores/material stuff are far more important than a person's life.

As if this whole situation isn't fucked up enough, our vice president, Hamilton Mourão said "racism doesn't exists in Brazil" and as far as I know, Bolsonaro hasn't said a word about this (and knowing his reputation, I know it'll be something worst than what his VP said).

Lewis, once again, is using his platform to talk about important issues and I'm so here for it. Thank you, Lewis. Everyone needs to know that in Brazil, we have George Floyds being killed everyday, be it by the police, mall/markets securities or our racist system as a whole.

I haven't found any link about this in English, so I'm just translating things I read/heard about this awful case. There's this post with a video with the looting but nothing else.
