They demanded that I get out of the back of the car then the policemen pointed his gun in my face and started shouting. I don't know Portuguese to well but the officer took his gun off safety. I kept my hands in the air where they had been the whole time and said nothing. I thought "if your gonna kill me, kill me" not out of bravery but just simply as a reaction to the absurdity of it all.
Then then white Brazilians ran over and pulled up my top to reveal my waist to the officer, and I immediately understood. The officer had been shouting at me to pull up my top and show that I did not have a gun on me; he assumed that I was a favela drug dealer accompanying my two rich clients somewhere because why else would an Afro Brazilian be in a car with two rich kids?
The 2 white Brazilians claimed that the policeman had been getting ready to shoot me. The police shoot black children. That's why when ppl say "Not all white r racists" I just laugh.
These good non racist white ppl are never to be seen when sh*t get's heavy
And just because those white Brazilians did what they did also means nothing because they were working for me and plus if we set the bar as low, as a white person not wanting a black person killed, then it's not even worth having this discussion. They didn't change how I view whites in regards to their racism one bit
