Who told you that only blacks lived in the favelas? Poor Brazilians are of all colors.
How many blacks live in upper middle or wealthy parts of Rio or Sao Paulo.
The USA has a prosperous upper middle class black population. A black president, black owned invetsment banks and law firms. We have black CEOs of huge US corporations.
Now tell us about Brazil. Hey they hardkly efven put blacks on TV even though they are pribably about 20% of the population. Blacks in Brazil have it so hard that they do not even want to be called black!!! To them tahts an insult and a hardship and to be avoidied once possible.
