Racismo estrutural no Brasil contemporâneo

Abstract

Even after the abolition of slavery, black and mixed-race people continued to suffer prejudice in Brazilian culture, a clear indication of the inequality of a people who were discriminated against and who, to this day, are not privileged in all aspects of our country. These people are denied assistance, security and dignity in a society that already has economic, cultural and social relations. These people are left out and at a disadvantage, as they have started a new life from scratch. These events demonstrate that structural racism has been rooted in this society since time immemorial and that society is now seeking advice and solutions to change the situation. This paper aims to analyze structural racism in Brazil, how it is present and how it affects the Brazilian population in different areas, its impacts on health, education and security. How racism has been present in football since the beginning, and its consequences for players and teams. In addition to reflecting on public policies to combat structural racism in Brazil. To this end, the following guiding questions were used: a) “What is the concept of structural racism?”, b) “How does structural racism affect the Brazilian population?”, c) How is racism present in football and what are the consequences?”, d) “What public policies have been developed and how do they contribute to combating structural racism?”. A bibliographic review was carried out based on documentary research using books, scientific articles, websites and dissertations, demographic censuses, carrying out a critical-reflective reading according to the objective of the work. After analyzing the texts found, it was concluded that there is no way to go back and erase all the conditions to which black people were subjected after the abolition of slavery. White privilege often hinders the adoption of public policies of racial inclusion and treatments of historical reparation for the inhumanity to which black people were subjected and even reproduced after the end of slavery. But it is possible, thinking about the future, to take actions that combat racism today, so that people can change the country they currently live in, thus repairing, even if only a little, the history of black people in this country.
