The C.O.W.S. w/ Marques Travae: Covid-19 in Brazil

May 20, 2020

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Marques Travae live from Brazil. Originally born in the U.S., Mr. Travae repatriated to Brazil where he operates the Black Women of Brazil blog. He researches and writes about Racism in Brazil and often contrasts the abuse of black people in South America to the daily abuse of black people in the U.S. Speaking of comparisons, the two countries with the highest death tolls from the Covid-19 crisis in the Western hemisphere are the U.S. and Brazil. The U.S. has the highest death toll in the world from the coronavirus by a sizable margin, and as of this week, Brazil had the 5th most cases of the illness globally. It's reported that black people in both regions are contracting the illness and dying at high rates. We'll ask Mr. Travae about what he's observed in Brazil, and about how seriously President Bolsonaro and other government officials are taking this global health crisis. #TheSicknessIsWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
