But civil rights advocates...

I'm suspicious of any statement coming from a 'Civil Rights Advocate', they usually have their own agenda, and use the 'little people' as a stepping stone for that agenda.

point to statistics showing that white Brazilians earn more, live longer, receive more education and are less likely to be arrested than black citizens.

I've been to Brazil on several occasions, and I've never seen a 'white' Brazilian, the only white faces I've seen are American and European tourists.

Brasil is far more integrated than most societies on the planet. The "call" for racial integration is a blantant attempt to divide it's population against itself. It's a typical tactic of a tyrant and Lula's off to the races. The problem will be when it comes to a race struggle the average Brasilian will find themselves at odds with which part of themselves they are going to hate...

Brazil has the highest population of blacks of any country outside Africa.

I read about a compound of 30,000 people that had 1,200 private guards and everyone who entered and left the compound were searched.

It appears that Brazil's new liberal president is taking his cue from our own liberals by instituting quotas, which will lead to friction, racial bias and outright hostilities between the races. Then he'll propose that the solution is even more government and that only his party can solve the problems facing the country...problems that he created. Just like our liberals have done.

The day should come when people who support quotas are no longer given the title of "civil rights advocates."
