Brazil-White population now a minority.

BRAZIL.

WHITE POPULATION NOW MINORITY FOR FIRST TIME.

Brazil has the largest African population in the Western Hemisphere and slaves were taken to Brazil from Africa, as far back as 1492, before Columbus had discovered America.

It is estimated that 3.5 million slaves were transported to Brazil, that was a port of call on the North American slave-route from West Africa.

Brazil became independent of Portugal in 1822, however was treated as a colony until, the fall of the Portuguese Junta in 1975.Brazil was in the hands of Military Dictators at this time and the population was 47% African/ Indian origin.

Distribution of wealth was 1% of the population, controlled 95% of the land and the wealth, the diet of the colored people like Africa was maize and chicken as it was all they afford.

Brazil was the last country in the world to abolish slavery in 1888.

There was indeed an African State within Brazil named Palmares, between 1630 and 1697, made up of 30,000 ex slaves, the palace was named Zombi, where the word originates.

The Whiting rule came in to action after the abolishment of slavery in 1888, non whites were not allowed into the country, and it was encouraged that the whites inter marry with the natives to make the country Whiter, this was government policy, while it seems insane Australia had the same policy.

Colonial powers such as England, France, Germany and Spain did not inter marry like the Portuguese, who appear very reluctant to discuss the matter today.

Brazil is now 51 % African origin since 2007, having said this, there is no doubt African blood running through the veins of most of the population today.

Argentina because of the numbers of cattle, fed the natives on flanks of beef, this is still the preferred diet of the poor today Assado.

Brazil the only meat available was chicken or the occasion pigs they could fatten at the house, thus and therefore the diet today has a traditional base.

While the record of Brazil is bad, Argentina did not have slaves but slaughtered all the Indians, that got rid of any racial problems.

In 1868, the British government supplied the guns, in exchange for vast tracks of land to do the business.

This was the birth of the London Argentine Land Company.
