Acho bastante positivo todo o trabalho desenvolvido pelo Chullage e por outras pessoas na minha freguesia mas é triste ver que certos comportamentos tendem a persistir nesta comunidade. Se antes paiar e roubar era necessidade, tornou-se hoje em dia em moda, uma maneira de ganhar créditos nas ruas de uma forma negativa. Na realidade tenho pena que muitos jovens vão chegar (se chegarem) á idade adulta e verem o quanto otários foram na sua adolescência.

There is much racism Portugal. but not like the rest of Europe. Portugal was among the first countries to begin to enslave the African people. so the always a sense of ownership. this is why black people have no opportunity to succeed in life, because the Portuguese only want black people in the building, whether tems studies they do not give you opportunities. but they are all Portuguese and that makes me hope that will change

It's amazing what people like Chullage are doing, Portugal has to deal with this urgently.

I haven´t seen all video but I'm not sure about one thing I heard. You're saying that these people came to lisbon area because "Lisbon needed cheap labor"... well I'm not sure about that. These people came to Lisbon of course looking for a better life, but I think they mostly came during the period of Portugal decolonization and this could be one of the reasons why this population is so segregated. In fact there were not many jobs when they arrived. What you said works for UK immigrants...

lembrem-se que isto e' uma reportagem da aljazeera, uma estacao de tv militante anti ocidente, tal como a fox news o importante nao e' o rigor da reportagem mas se a sua mensagem se enquadra na linha editorial de propaganda da estacao. o "jornalista" tem aquela atitude de "se concordas comigo tens tempo de antena", e como o bill o'reilly na fox news quem nao concorda e' "pinhead". este parece ser a tendencia dos nossos dias, o jornalismo militante, com muito de militante e pouco de jornalismo.

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!
