Music of Resistance-Finding dignity Portugal-2 March 09-Pt 2

[Amezz55]

i'll say we go to our own home country ,if your not welcome in portugal ,go back to cv , if you can survive under racism,poverty, discrimination etc etc in portugal, than you can definitely overcome the odds in cv, nd replenish our own country nd race , thats what we need, that was Amilcar cabral's vision, he made a path for Africans to go free , nd walk strait ,but we turned back to that same yoke

[XZyeth7]

that slum, bairro santa filomena was the home for footballers like nani and manuel fernandes

[xpertvisions]

bullshit! Portugal is the LESS racist country of europe , in the old times portugal was half of the world (africa , asia , south america) even their languages are Portuguese , they reseave money from the state all the time to help big families and new babys, the Portugueses are not even white... they are a mix of arab and romans (Latins) , im from Venezuela and i born in Portugal in the 80´s and i never saw this kind of things talked in the video in Portugal, africans dont like to work!

I was born in portugal and fortunately i have a portuguese nationality coz my grandmother was born in lisbon! I really liked this documentary coz it shows the reality. I think that Chullage was well choosen as a Rapper and also as real black man for this doc. I feel sorry for all my brothers who fight to be legal in lisbon until today. But we should keep our heads up and try to deal with this, not to kill each other and diss each other. Chullage for me is a legend of hip hop a big inspiration!

teacher! preacher! revolutionary...

Why dont you buy a dildo with bloody mary written on it and stick it up your ass?

You might get a visit from her as well...

[nhedas]

I would love to see this doc or any other, brining the same ideas or similar ones, in any portuguese tv channel ...but unfortunately Portugal seems to be more concerned with superficial issues...There is still a lot more to be told. Really liked the fact that someone else from a different country brought the subject to the table...

[pretojusticeiro]

[osoigbo]

This shows how bad human still is.He is still dull by making a right decision!Where is humanity the great philosophers of western world are talking about?Shame to humanity!

[GhZz69]

Sigam o exemplo deste homem, espetacular.

I, a CapeVerdean (Kriolu!) reside in the Netherlands for 38 years. Recently all immigrants got labeled 'new comer'.

Bureaucracy even changed over night: Nowadays it's normal for them to demand the birthplace of your parents.

That means my unborn children will still be considered foreign.

Tell this to the ignorant pemachonjer

A luta continua.

"Kapa City". Ver dados novu!

[pemachonjer]

Well, if this guy likes Portugal, he will love Spain, France and, obviously, England. He should know that it is easier for a cape-verdian migrant to become Portuguese than for an Indian migrant to get English citizenship. He should look inside his own country. These kind of shows are at the service of romanticised and purist ideas of "the ethnic other" and help promoting Aljazeera as a trendy "politically alternative" tv network. That's how transnational capitalism works, fellow activists...

[najmar101]

What absolute nonsense.I have worked in the Asian community in London for years and I can tell you I have never seen conditions as bad as the slums in Lisbon.Why is that even left/progressive Portuguese are so in denial of the racism in their country?I've never come across it before

[pemachonjer]

I will show you the nonsense: It is a pity that this doc. does not show us the cape-verdian drug dealers and gangs of Pragal (not far from Arrentela). It does not focus on attitudes of self-exclusion by second generation cape-verdians or in the racism between themselves (sampadjudas and badios). And what about cape-verdian racism towards gypsie, whites and other minorities? I live there. I see that everyday. Bad piece of journalism. It is for pseudo activists.

[najmar101]

And the causes of what you describe?"Self-exclusion"?So living in the slum is their fault?Forced labour until 1961 in the colonies is their fault?You clearly have never felt the brutalising effect of what racism can do to peopleNo one is saying that any oppressed minority are angels.The focus was on Chullage and his positive and brave(he gets death threats from police and fascists regularly)approach.

[pemachonjer]

I was not talking of Chullage but of the jornalistic piece, which stinks Please, learn the difference Other bands and singers are doing a great job in Portugal, including white hip-hop musicians. But no. That is not sufficiently romantic for Al Jazeera. Blackness, slums (which in fact are council houses) and pseudo activism music is what sells.You talk as if England (probably the biggest colonial country ever) is not one of the main responsible for the mess that is going on in the world.

[petevaz]

your a big big dumb, if you dind´t learn nothing, i don´t know what will bring you back to earth. freedumb.

[nhedas]

u have to study Journalism or understand it to be able say a word...you might live there, but what the doc showed is just a part of the whole reality, that u probably know but u prefer to turn ur face. Peace

[Trying2ShowReason]

dude STFU. I live in portugal and even though they don't show that, i doesn't impair that Chullage is doing a great thing, a thing that might aswell help diminish all those other problems u mention.

Stop talking shit.. Like there aren't white and gypsy drug dealers and racists and criminals. There is shit in every race. But there is also beauty on each and everyone of them. This is a response to pemachonjer

[TomeGoncalves]

@najmar101 you seriously don't know what you're saying.Not that you are completely wrong but it is just not like that. I understand the situation of these persons.I want them to be recognized as portuguese citizens, but in this documentary you only see the guys that are pro active, and the places that they want to show you. Did you know that in some places such as these appearing on the documentary police is received with bullets?And btw...Portugal was considered the most tolerant country in...

[TomeGoncalves]

@najmar101 * in the world to its emigrants, by the UN?!Racism is everywhere.Some people still live in the colonial times...but good exemples are everywhere.You should look for them with the joy that you seem to look for the bad ones.

[micahgee]

Chullage seems like an incredible man!

This is one of the best Al Jazeera programs!!

Good tunes with culture, history and impetus for social change!!!

[aKaCantante]

Yeah you bet he is.

He´s a Hip-hop legend in my country, happy by the fact that people from other parts of the world can admire this guys.

[1not0]

To gary1935: Several countries in the EU get away with exactly the same (or very similar) immigration and citizenship laws. Those laws are wrong, and they're not the problem of a single country.

[gary1935]

chullage is amazing. he's like a one man humanitarian organization as well as being a musician! how can portugal enact such racist legislation and not feel pressure from the european union? all people born in a country should get citizenship of that country. how does portugal get away with this?

[aKaCantante]

Im Portuguese, altough Chullage he´s a great person and humanitarian, the easiest thing to have in Portugal is the nationality, specialy for the ex-colonian people, like Angola, Cape Verdean, Mozambique.... It´s not quite as it demonstrates in this Doc.

[GermaineIlya]

i love this song at the end
