THE NEVER-ENDING FEELING OF SLAVERY IN BRAZIL

The relationship between whites and blacks in Brazil is unhealthy, no longer is that of a master and a slave, but curiously, it keeps traces of it, as if it were a boss and an employee, but tinged with pity, paternalism, love while maintaining superiority, social distancing and subliminal contempt for the blacks, as if they still owe subservience and even its existence to the white.
