Brazil emerges as an oil giant

While many Latin American countries have seen their oil production dip, Brazils state-controlled Petrobras — the biggest company in Brazil — is working to access the billions of barrels of crude oil that rest beneath the countrys waters over the next few years.
The companys 48,986-ton P-51 oil platform rests over a hundred miles off the coast of Brazil and is the first semisubmersible platform built entirely in Brazil. It may produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day.

Worldfocus correspondent Edie Magnus and producers Bryan Myers and Meghan Thompson report from Angra dos Reis, south of Rio de Janeiro, on Brazils unfolding role as oil giant.

@ELFELICIANO OH! Now I get it. (:

@Smoothbluehero Of course the Portuguese are europeans. What I meant was that the massive european immigration(Germans, Italians) was AFTER the slaves arrival.

[Smoothbluehero]

@ELFELICIANO Not that I'm trying to be a bigot or anything, but how is it possible that blacks were already there?
