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

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!

@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.

@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...

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!

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...

[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.

[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.
