Hello. I would like to clear this issue to everyone that gets to watch this video. This photodoc has been produced in Brazil, South America. In Brazil, the word "Black" is traduced as "Preto", and when one qualifies an African descendent as "preto", it CAN be considered racism ou disrespect, depending on how it is expressed or the situation. The formal way to call african descendents in portuguese is "Negro".
Even if the intention is not to offende, calling someone "Preto" can be considered a fault. In this photodoc, when we traduce "Casamento de Preto" as "Nigger Wedding" the meaning is to show how racist this title is. I know that in the USA "nigger" is a very bad to call black people, african north/south americans, and I want people to understand the racist title that has been given to this show that Baker and the great actor Grande Otelo performed together.
I think that this issue is very important and we must talk about it whenever the subject is raised up on discussion. Thank you very much. Liqia Benevides (movie director/editor/research).
I guess I wanna see more videos of her dancing and singing she is gret RIP
