How I wish I could go to Brasil or Argentina.... beautiful countries, beautiful people- can't beat those amazing Latin cultures. This is a very interesting video- I can see by all the comments that this topic has gotten a lot of responses.

Wow...I bet the Brazilian census would indicate that there are more negros in Argentina...

LoL the guy said that Brazil has the second largest black population in the world. Thats sooooo wrong. So what about all the african countries. Our population os mixed not black. its like White people mixed people and then black people.

[diuga1]

Brazil is the non-African nation with the largest population of Blacks in the globe.

[gripbop]

Blacks are only 7.4% of our population. USA has much more blacks. Now Brazil has a lot of mixed people almost half of the population is mixed.

[diuga1]

According to what source?

7.4%??

The latest brazilian census

[rpgking1989]

you are talking about the peope who tick black on the census paper. the fact is that brazilians just had more color mixing in it's history, in fact the majority of brazilians today carry African contribution, and many also carry european contribution and not to forget the native contribution. no one is black or white, will smith is call black, but is he really? Americans stole the name America for themselves and think they are national americans, the USA is of america, not the america

[rpgking1989]

lol what do you mean by mixed? do you know that most black amerians are mixed, do you know that no one on this planet earth is pure according to our genetics? will smith is mixed no he don't have a white mother but i'm sure you are smart enough to figure it out. only people that say they are mixed and think everyone else are pure is idiots, the fact is anyone who came from africa to the americas, no matter their color is going to be considered Afro or black. race does not exist in genetics.

brazil actually do got the second largest black population in the world after nigeria, lol you just made yourseld sound so stupid, in the slave trade brazil got more black slaves then any other country. Bahia is over 85% black althogh alot of the people in brazil are mixed, they are considered blacks by the brazilian government.

We're not "dumb"....its just not promoted as much as the Olympics and other countries such as in the Caribbean, probably didn't know too much about the event either!(Jamaican/American guy)

But I understand what you're getting at...

The question is-why did our media not promote it?

Answer-preference....(reason it out)

As an American, and a proud citizen of the Americas, I would have loved to go to Brazil and experience it!!!!!

[rpgking1989]

the USA is so afraid now that the rest of the americas are going to turn on them cause they have been neglecting us, and working more with europe and asia, thats why brazil and most of south america have turned on them, but they still have canada, mexico and the majority of the caribbean except cuba, but cuba is already working to switch the bahamas over, who helps the US alot in stopping illegal drugs,immigrants, and weapons. but the bahamas is to loyal to switch on the US.

It's incredible how americans are "dumb".

But, once I read on a magazine, that mainly USA and Canada, even Mexico, they don't give much importance to the Pan American Games... Just to know, the only open TV channels that broadcasted the Pan of Rio were Globo TV, Band TV, Record TV, and one from Argentina and another from Venezuela, all the other countries just had payed broadcast.

So, that's it.

No Brasil muita gente tb não sabia direito dos outros jogos panamericanos...
