Homem Selvagem (Savage Man)

Would he allow himself to say "I love you" without ever having heard or seen it from a paternal figure? What example would a black boy have at home with a non-existent father? This issue is not just a question of desires or the expression of a feeling, but it does paint a social picture.

Any topic that is tackled must be carefully understood. Many problematizations arise and conclude with a superficial analysis, a critique that sees the tip of the iceberg and not the root of the issue.  We are experiencing a domino effect that stems from the stereotyping of black men's and women's bodies, such as the case of Sarah Baartman, a black woman from South Africa, who was taken to Europe and turned into an attraction because of her physical, genetic characteristic, which is the proportion of her buttocks.

After abolition, black people freed from slavery faced an exclusionary reality. They were not given opportunities for training, education or work, because black men and women had become obsolete; there was no social interest, much less a policy of inclusion, but rather exclusion. The black man, once seen as a valuable commodity, gains his freedom with borders. This condition has resulted in problems that have been expressed for more than a hundred years.

The black population is more susceptible to violence, as described by the 2016 violence map, which shows that from 2003 to 2014, the number of homicides of white people by firearms fell by 26.1%, while the number of homicides of black people increased by 46.9%. According to Atlas, Black people are more than twice as likely to be murdered in Brazil; this group represents 77% of homicide victims in 2021.

THE BLACK MAN IS CAPABLE OF LOVE, THE BLACK MAN LOVES, BUT OFTEN DOESN'T SURVIVE IN TIME TO BE LOVED.
