Portugal – Melanoid Nation Foundation https://www.melanoidnation.org Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:15:04 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Report Shows Police Brutality Towards Blacks Occurring in Portugal https://www.melanoidnation.org/report-shows-police-brutality-towards-blacks-occurring-in-portugal/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/report-shows-police-brutality-towards-blacks-occurring-in-portugal/#comments Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:15:04 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=1506 BBC, the U.K. based news publication, is reporting that the police presence is extremely unforgiving towards Melanated people of African descent who reside in Portugal.

The report, titled ‘They Hate Black People‘ says it all, as it exposes the white supremacy of police officers in that country. On one account, a 14-year-old boy by the name of Elson was shot in the head at point blank range and killed by an officer after the officer claimed that he heard the boy cocking a pistol back in 2009. Witnesses say that the 14-year-old boy was unarmed.

Despite the country’s claims of integrating its Black immigrants with its non-Black citizens, and contrived propaganda used to create the illusion of racial equality, the white citizens of Portugal adhere to a conflicting narrative in which they openly discuss their distaste for the Black immigrants to their country. Check out the video below to read (captions translate the commentary from Portuguese to English) the white supremacist views of Portugal’s citizens.
