June 2003 The violence spilling out of Brazil's slums or 'favelas' has made the country's two major cities more dangerous than most war zones. Children in Rio de Janeiro are eight times more likely to die violently than those in the West Bank. "They live on a kill or be killed basis," states anthropologist Luke Dowdney, who has spent five years studying the favelas. "If they don't kill someone when they're told to, they will be killed."

Oh sure, inflict your pre-formed prejudices onto another country and set of problems. Brazil is more complex than your anti- whitey projects agenda - but never mind that, it's easy to blame "the man" rather than try to develop an understanding of a multi-faceted problem

That was because european people came to Brazil just to steal or kill the real americans and explore the the slavery of african people. Hence the "white" people in Brazil is the richest in the country. But... We are all brazilians! And we have very proud of that! If you think you are part of a superior race because you are a barbarian descendent (not part of Latin civilization) please, never go to Brazil... we have too much stupid people there already.

Let me clarify a little thing to you. In Brazil (thank god for that) the most of people does not care about your ascendence. In fact, Brazil is a multicultural country, with several problems that people insists in to blame the politicians for that. Of course the most of "problematic" people in Brazil is afro-descendent and mixed. That was because european people came to Brazil just to steal or kill the real americans and explore the the slavery of african people.

Why Brazil? I'm not against research but curious as to why people are so "curious" about other cultures and not their own...have you "studied" your own chaps and british slums.
