Felipe is a young black man living in the state of Goiás, he was arrested by the Police because he was riding his bike. This episode got national coverage.
Matheus is a young black man from Maré, a favela in Rio de Janeiro city, this guy was harassed by a racist white couple from Leblon, an upper-class neighborhood, for simply riding his fancy bicycle around.
The message is right there.
The black man has no right to leisure, no right to an ordinary life, no right to humanity.
Brazil is only for whites.
